Chapter 215
"It... its two injured heads have also recovered, we injured it before!"
Nie Yingying was very uncomfortable facing the slippery animals surging over like a tide, but she still endured it and described their previous results to Xie Yaoyao, so that Xie Yaoyao could evaluate the Hydra's strength.
"Of course, didn't it say in the entry, the ancient bloodline endowed it with unparalleled recovery power!"
Xie Yaoyao didn't care at all; before coming, he had expected that this Hydra would be perfectly countered by him, and after coming to this Death Swamp, he was even more certain of this idea.
And the snake swarm surging over like a tide made the arc of his mouth unable to be suppressed no matter what.
Looking at the 【Intermediate Potent Toxin】 and 【Advanced Severe Poison】 of various colors in front of him, Xie Yaoyao was a little reluctant to kill this Hydra.
If he just kept it like this, and came over once every ten days or half a month—I don't know if there are any higher-level entries above the golden entry!!!
Xie Yaoyao knew he was daydreaming, but the greed in his heart was not so easy to suppress.
Stepping on the ground, splashing a little mud.
Then the mud under the two people's feet suddenly cracked, and a tender sprout broke through the soil, flowing with emerald-like green light all over its body. The sapling soared in the wind, the crystal veins on the main trunk bulging like blood vessels, and in the blink of an eye, it turned into a giant tree as thick as a waist.
"Hold tight!"
Two knotted branches accurately supported their ankles. When the branches stretched, they made a "click" sound like bone dislocation, the bark constantly peeling off and regenerating during the rapid growth, the cracking sound like a giant python shedding its skin. Five meters, ten meters, twenty meters, the branches intertwined to form an ink-green aerial platform.
They stepped on the branches that still had residual warmth, and the height was almost level with the giant Hydra in the mud pool.
The twenty-meter-high canopy twisted into a hunched human shape, honeycomb-like holes cracked at the joints of the branches, spraying out spore clouds with a rotten sweet smell.
The snake swarm surging like a tide was almost instantly shrouded in these spore clouds.
The moment the spore clouds shrouded the snake swarm, the venomous snakes charging at the front suddenly stiffened and turned their bellies up, the flesh and blood under their scales rolling like boiling water. Their spines protruded segment by segment, and after piercing the epidermis, translucent crystal clusters actually grew out, the tail vertebrae extending into scorpion-tail-like sharp thorns, and the venom dripping from their fangs glowing with the same blue light as the bark.
The mutated snake swarm turned direction and bit their own kind crazily. The bitten venomous snakes completed the same aberration within ten seconds—crystal clusters proliferated, scorpion tails split, and blue-light venom spread like a plague.
The Hydra's central head let out an angry roar, but those mutated venomous snakes were no longer under its control. All the venomous snakes contaminated by the spore clouds were deformed, their crystal-cluster-filled heads turned toward the Hydra in unison, blue light of the same origin as the strange tree flowing in their compound eyes.
The snake swarm suddenly rolled back like a tide, crazily pouncing on their former creator.
Scorpion-tail thorns stabbed into the Hydra's scales like a rainstorm, and wherever the blue-glowing venom seeped in, the flesh and blood turned into wood at a speed visible to the naked eye. Three snake heads had their throats bitten by their own kind, the rotting muscle fibers snapped inch by inch, and the falling heads shattered into rotten wood in mid-air.
The Hydra's remaining heads twisted crazily, but the venom they spat had no effect on the mutated snake swarm—that blue-glowing venom was instead absorbed by the crystal clusters, converted into more lethal toxins to feed the host.
The Hydra's remaining five heads roared deafeningly at the same time, the flesh and blood at the severed necks squirmed crazily, actually growing new snake heads covered with crystal clusters on the wood-turned body. The newly born heads no longer spat venom, but a corrosive hurricane carrying wood chips, and wherever it passed, even the mutated snake swarm was twisted into blue-green meat mud.
The hair on the back of Xie Yaoyao's neck suddenly stood up—the central, most powerful snake head suddenly stared at him, and pale yellow light shot out from its huge vertical pupils.
Corrupting rays!
This was the only skill Xie Yaoyao currently couldn't be hit by; resisting madness and loss of control had now become the main theme of his current life.
Flickering, he dodged the attack of the corrupting rays, and Xie Yaoyao had already arrived at the Hydra's forehead from the eerie tree branches.
Countless black-red spiked vines broke through the soil, each vine covered with sucker-like mouthparts, accurately biting the Hydra's newly born crystal-cluster heads.
"Click!"
The crystal clusters burst in the strangulation of the vines, and the splashing fragments were actually absorbed by the vines, converted into thicker thorns.
With the appearance of the spiked vines, those mutated snake swarms died twitching as if their life force had been squeezed dry.
The Hydra was also struggling, wanting to drill into the ground to avoid the terrifying vine entanglement, but found that the earth's veins had long been sealed by the blood-colored vine net.
When the last vine pierced through the central head, the entire swamp suddenly fell silent. The thorns on the vines began to pulse, as if thousands of blood vessels were extracting the Hydra's last life force.
When the Hydra's tens-of-meters-long body completely withered into a bark-like empty shell, all the vines turned toward Xie Yaoyao in unison, the tips blooming into eerie blood-colored flower buds.
Easily killing a monster that was severely countered by him was not worth being too happy about; what really made Xie Yaoyao happy were the entries all over the battlefield.
For almost all travelers, repetitive entries were of little significance, but for Xie Yaoyao, they were almost no less than 【Snake King】, 【Highly Toxic—Corrosion】, 【Touch of Corruption】, these purple entries.
Standing on the tree and watching Xie Yaoyao below, who had turned into a diligent little bee crazily picking up entries, Nie Yingying's excitement from just obtaining the bloodline entry cooled down again.
Such a gap—
Then the frustrated girl cheered herself up again; now I also have a bloodline entry, 【Blood Clan】 looks like a powerful bloodline suitable for me no matter how you look at it.
As long as I work hard to dig into the power in my bloodline, I should be able to see his back more or less in the future, right!
Ignoring the ever-changing thoughts of the woman, Xie Yaoyao happily prepared to carry out the happy entry fusion action.
First were those 'toxin' type entries.
Fusion! Fusion! Fusion! ……
【Highly Toxic—Blood Coagulation】, 【Highly Toxic—Touch of Pain】, 【Highly Toxic—Source of Plague】, Xie Yaoyao successfully obtained three different purple entries, plus the 【Highly Toxic—Corrosion】 that came with the Hydra, Xie Yaoyao obtained a total of four highly toxic purple entries.
Soon, Xie Yaoyao used 【Highly Toxic—Blood Coagulation】 plus 【Highly Toxic—Corrosion】 to obtain the second highly toxic golden entry 【Highly Toxic—Blood Erosion】.
But the remaining 【Highly Toxic—Touch of Pain】 and 【Highly Toxic—Source of Plague】 could not be fused again, which made Xie Yaoyao again have doubts about whether golden entries had uniqueness!
And what was even more regrettable was that the remaining 【Snake King】 and 【Touch of Corruption】, these two purple entries, could not produce fusion with other entries he already had.
