Even before the hydra arrived, a terrible stench and a powerful presence had already descended.
Even through the three Yin Demons, Han Shuo could not make out the shape of the Hydra. However, he was able to guess its approximate location from the strange changes in the wind.
As the Hydra flew over, the clear ponds in the surrounding area were instantly polluted, turning into gutters that spat out foul odours. The wet ground also slowly became unusually dry, revealing a dark brown colour. It seemed as if the surroundings had been affected by the Hydra's abilities.
Han Shuo summoned the Demonslayer Edge and made his preparations with Gilbert as the Hydra approached. He planned to unleash an unforgettable attack the moment the Hydra closed in.
The stench in the air was getting worse and worse. Han Shuo had been resting with his eyes closed, but became momentarily disoriented as he inhaled the repulsive aroma. However, after filtering the air with his magic yuan, his body quickly returned to normal.
As a member of the Dark Dragon tribe, Gilbert's physical body was powerful and capable of spitting poison. Moreover, the natural resistance of a dragon's body was so strong that the fetid poisonous gas had no effect on him.
Suddenly, the moving figure of the Hydra seemed to stop next to a tree that reached up to the sky. The wind currents also stabilised and stopped changing. The Hydra seemed to have landed there.
Han Shuo was shocked. Just as he wondered why the Hydra didn't come closer, four waves of dark brown liquid spurted like a fountain towards the tree where Han Shuo and Gilbert were sitting.
A foul stench immediately filled the air. Unusually rancid, as the magical beasts in the area inhaled this foul stench, their bodies straightened and suddenly froze.
Higher-level magical beasts such as the harpy and two windblade wolves all ran away in panic after sniffing the stinking air. None of them dared to stay. They were clearly aware of the terrible danger in their surroundings.
After cursing under their breath, Han Shuo and Gilbert shifted in an instant. Gilbert jumped and landed on a tree even further away, while Han Shuo rose to a high vantage point in the sky.
As he quickly flew up, Han Shuo took the opportunity to chant necromancy spells, summoning the little skeleton and the Earth Elite Zombie at the same time, who organised themselves with great teamwork. The little skeleton took up a position beside Han Shuo, while the earth elite zombie hid in the ground.
The branches of the tree where Han Shuo and Gilbert were standing trembled as the four waves of dark brown liquid splashed onto them. All of the blooming leaves wilted almost instantly, and all that remained of the once towering tree was a withered trunk, as if it had suffered a long period of drought.
"Hydra, you finally showed up!" " Han Shuo laughed coldly in the sky and launched an attack with the little skeleton. The Bone Knife and Demonslayer Edge flew directly towards the hidden Hydra.
At the same time, Gilbert's roar sounded from the side. In human form, he slowly grew into a ball of black light, and finally transformed into his dark dragon form. He lunged at the Hydra with his claws and fangs and shouted in a booming voice, "Despicable Hydra, you will pay!"
The hidden hydra obviously didn't think that Han Shuo and Gilbert could find its tracks. Han Shuo's Demonslayer Edge and Bone Knife had already connected with its body before it could react.
A piercing scream tore through the silent sky. After being injured, the Hydra's massive body was no longer hidden. It was coiled on a sky-reaching tree, completely exposed to Han Shuo and Gilbert.
At that moment, two of its long necks were dripping blood and the remaining seven heads were trembling. It seemed as if the tree the Hydra was on could not withstand its painful writhing, as it snapped with a loud creak, taking the Hydra's body down with it as it fell.
At that moment, a huge crack suddenly appeared on the brown earth. Intense rumbling sounded from deep within the earth, as if some terrible danger awaited the hydra's impact.
As a super-ranked magical beast, the Hydra naturally had the ability to fly, but it only writhed in pain as it fell.
However, when one of the snakeheads saw the ground beneath it collapse into a large chasm, the hydra was frightened to death. It struggled desperately, finally halting its descent and rising again.
Faced with imminent death, the Hydra's relentless struggle seemed to be bearing fruit. However, the attack from the ground did not stop there. Just as the Hydra had risen a little in the air, it noticed several sharp mounds suddenly rise from the ground and charge towards its body.
The Hydra was extremely disturbed at this moment, he hadn't thought that his ambush would lead to all this. According to its plan, it would silently approach Han Shuo and Gilbert, use the poison fumes to take down the 'Dragon Knight' Han Shuo, and then casually deal with the small dark dragon that was one rank lower.
But Han Shuo, who had trained extensively in demonic cultivation, didn't succumb to the attack of the poisonous fumes as he had planned. In addition, the appearance of the little skeleton and the earth elite zombie also empowered Han Shuo, completely destroying the Hydra's plan.
The nine snake heads suddenly began to tremble as their long necks swayed continuously. The momentum of the mounds created by the earth zombie was completely countered by the fierce streams of venom spat out by the snake heads. As it did so, the hydra's body gradually rose as it frantically flew towards the pool from which it had first emerged, dodging the remaining mound attacks from the Earth Elite Zombie.
A stream of magma suddenly struck one of the snake's heads, unusually bright in the pitch-black night. With a terrible scream, the hydra's gigantic fleeing body stumbled. The remaining magical beasts in the area fled in fear as the colossal body snapped trees into branches as it crashed and fell.
"Wahaha, even a second-ranked one has to flee!" Gilbert's voice rang through the night sky as he carried Han Shuo and the small skeleton to quickly chase after the Hydra.
The Hydra destroyed all the towering trees that blocked its path as it fled. Suddenly, just as Gilbert was about to catch up, it leapt into the pool it had emerged from.
The pool water, originally clear, was instantly polluted and quickly turned to filth. When the Hydra had come out of the pool earlier, the pool had remained clear. But the moment it entered the pool, it had changed. This meant that the Hydra was no longer able to control its power, most likely because it was wounded.
The Hydra caused a huge wave of activity as it entered the newly formed bog. Mud splashed around it and a foul odour began to spread.
"Honoured Master, just leave this to me. Just watch from above. I'm very familiar with this kind of place too!" Gilbert laughed out loud.
Gilbert had hid in a swamp when he first met Han Shuo, using his natural advantages to fight the dark elves. He was used to fighting and hiding in places like this. Now that the Hydra was injured and Han Shuo was standing guard above, he wasn't really worried about Gilbert's safety, especially considering his amazing resistance to poison.
"All right, go down. Come out or shout if you can't handle it!" Han Shuo nodded, agreeing to Gilbert's plan of action.
With a wild roar of laughter, Gilbert's huge body dove into the swamp with a huge splash. Like a giant eel, he quickly began to make his way into the depths.
Suddenly there was a great commotion in the swamp. Gilbert had obviously found the Hydra and was engaged in battle. With the swamp as its epicentre, the ground shook and the trees shook with it. At this cacophony, all the magical beasts, large and small, left the area in a hurry.
It was as if someone had thrown in a chain of bombs, as huge columns of mud erupted from the huge pool, accompanied by tremendous bangs. The constant explosions forced the swamp into a terrifying spiral that would not settle.
Occasionally, the heads of the hydra or Gilbert's giant tail would appear above the surface of the bog. Looking down from his vantage point in the sky, Han Shuo noticed that Gilbert and the Hydra's bodies were intertwined and constantly rolling around in the swamp.
"OOOOOH...."
Suddenly, Gilbert's extremely lascivious scream rang out from the swamp.
Then Han Shuo saw something that shocked him beyond belief. The Hydra and Gilbert were slowly floating out of the swamp, their bodies tied tightly together. But the more Han Shuo looked, the less it looked like they were fighting. In fact, it looked like they were getting intimate.
Gilbert's thick tail and sharp claws were constantly stroking the Hydra's body like human hands. Meanwhile, the nine long necks of the Hydra, which had once fought fiercely to escape from the Dark Dragon, began to wrap tighter and tighter around the Dark Dragon.
Rays of dark light had begun to surround the two intertwined super-beasts at some unknown time. The two huge bodies slowly condensed into two muddy human beings - a man and a woman - intertwined with each other.
They were also two naked humanoids embracing each other tightly!
