Hydra

The **hydra** (九头蛇) was a huge demonic beast. They had strong limbs and 9 snake-like heads. Their strength was second to the dragons. Certainly, their intelligence was far inferior to the dragons.

The hydra contained a deadly poison in their bodies. Also, their physical and magical defenses were extremely high. Some of the mutated variations could even use a special magic attack. Unless all 9 heads were chopped, it won't be completely eliminated. The only thing that could be considered as weakness was their relatively slow movements.

## Silent Night

The two hydras in the Silent Night Wetland were a pair of couple. Due to their physiques, they preferred a toxic environment like the wyverns. Previously, the hydra and wyverns rarely had any conflicts. It was because the poison swamp that they initially lived in was drying up and the female hydra had just laid eggs. Thus emerged the idea of conquering the wyvern's lair.

Both parties had a few battles. As both of them were poisonous creatures, the toxic effect wasn't obvious. However, as the hydra's strength was a lot greater than the wyverns, even if the wyverns were greater in number and defeated the hydra a few times, the wyverns still suffered great casualties. Even Kegu's parents were killed during this battle.

An adult hydra could reach as high as Demon Overlord and at least a Great Demon King.

However, the two hydras were even stronger. A male hydra's power was one level above the Wyvern King's. The female hydra was much scarier than the male, except its body became very weak after laying eggs. It was staying behind in its nest to take care of its eggs, so only the male hydra was invading the wyvern lair.

Two hydras had Great Demon King powers at the very least. The female hydra might have even reached the level of Demon Emperor; another strong enemy that was impossible to defeat.

## Debut appearance

The two hydras were seven, eight meters tall with deep green scales covering their bodies. They had white torsos and extremely stocky limbs and tails. What stood out the most were the nine snake-like heads. Each head looked very ferocious.

The larger one with the darker scales was the female while the smaller one was male. The two giant beasts' energies felt much more powerful than the wyvern King, especially the female nine-headed snake. She was close to the level of a Demon Emperor. Moreover, the demonic beast's power surpassed a regular demon's. Even Broc could not take them lightly.

The eighteen heads of the two hydras let out heart-wrenching howls in unison. Their voices were full of an indescribable rage. The female hydra had a long-range attack. Three of its heads could spit flames and venom. Instantly, venom and flames were spat in the airborne Broc's direction.

Because the hydra had long-range attacks, staying in the sky would be meaningless and passive. Broc returned to land once again. The moment he touched the ground, he was dealt with insane attacks from the two hydras.

The hydra's close combat ability was rather terrifying. Its nine heads were like nine separate venomous enemies. Them attacking at the same time was not as simple as multiplying by nine, especially since the female hydra was close to Demon Emperor level. Even Broc would have a hard time facing this unique attack strategy.

Broc dashed, putting distance between himself and the two hydra. Suddenly, he sensed a danger behind him. He hurriedly moved only to see a ball of venom whiz past him. It even corroded a big hole on his cape. It turned out that Chen Rui instructed the Wyvern King to attack. When it saw Broc approaching them, the Wyvern King rose high into the air again.

Broc was enraged. He could use a fatal, long-ranged skill to kill the Wyvern King and Chen Rui in one move, but he still had some desire for the Silent Night Wetlands treasures. No matter what happened, it was still better to leave him alive to interrogate him. This treasure was of utmost importance to the Leviathan Royal Family. If he could obtain it, then his powers would increase significantly.

Broc's silhouette suddenly appeared above the male hydra. He slashed his sword and the cry of the hydra could be heard. Three of its heads fell at the same time. A great volume of deep purple liquid leaked out from the wounds. Almost at the same time, a bone-deep wound appeared on the torso of the female hydra, its thick scales and tough skin could not withstand the sharpness of his sword. A gutter over ten meters long appeared in the ground from the force of this slash.

The hydra had a special characteristic such that as long as a head was still alive, it would not truly die. Not to mention, the more injured it was, the scarier its battle prowess was. The injuries did not make the hydra surrender with fear, instead, it triggered their ferocity; their attacks becoming more ruthless.

Broc cut down two more heads from the female hydra. The protective crystal barrier had already become extremely weak due to the continuous venomous attacks from the male hydra. It immediately crumbled when the hydra's long tail swiped at him. With a flash of Broc's scarlet sword, the male hydra's long tail was sliced into two. However, his shoulder armor was damaged by the green fire that the female hydra spat.

The effect of this green fire was not to burn but to permeate through his suit of armor and into his body. His shoulder felt numb and his actions seemed to have slowed down a little. It was obvious that he had been poisoned. In a moment of distraction, the female hydra swept its tail toward his back. He felt like suffocating, and the armor on his back had severely deformed. In a fit of anger, he turned around and slashed a few times. Letting out painful cries, the female hydra only had four heads left.
