"Because of my foolish actions, the Hydra, which only had three heads when we first encountered it, has now completely become a nine-headed perfect entity."
"Its regeneration speed is so fast that we can't even deal effective damage to it."
Recalling the great battle with the Hydra, Lawrence felt disheartened and also a little scared.
Honestly, having lived on the Aetheram Continent for seven or eight hundred years, he had never seen such an outrageous existence.
At first, he just chopped off one head, and two grew back.
With the Nether Alloy Sword in hand and many Elves in formation, Lawrence still felt victory was within reach.
But as he fought, he realized something was wrong.
This thing was cheating!
When the Hydra reached its full potential, he led dozens of Elves to gang up on it.
They fought desperately, giving their all, but after the battle, they saw that this beast was locked in health and head count.
They could only watch as the Hydra instantly regenerated to full health, regrowing heads countless times with lightning speed.
The heads were like something bought for free!
To be honest, this thing's damage wasn't high, and it wasn't even particularly tough, but Lawrence still considered the Hydra the beast among beasts.
It could inflict poison in close combat, and its ranged spit could also inflict poison.
It regenerated health while fighting, and Lawrence and his team were poisoned while fighting.
After fighting for most of the day, they looked back—
Hey!
The soldiers' full sets of enchanted Diamond armor were all shattered!
Lawrence had never seen such a sneaky monster in his life; don't people usually fight to kill their opponents?
This beast specifically targeted others' equipment!
After escaping and taking stock, Lawrence's team had lost over a dozen sets of high-grade enchanted Diamond equipment.
This was what made Hilulele and the others most angry.
Such top-tier equipment was difficult to acquire even with the Villager Trading Center.
"I roughly understand."
Su Lin sighed.
So, Lawrence and his team had committed all the taboos, only remembering to loot enchantments.
The Hydra, as a BOSS in the ice and fire legend mod, was indeed the beast among beasts.
Its melee and ranged attack frequency was extremely high, and every attack carried a poisoning effect.
Its attack on armor durability was even more outrageous; armor would break after a short fight.
Without fire, the Hydra could lock its head when it lost one. As long as it had even one head, it would activate its health lock. Even if the Nether Alloy Sword was broken, it wouldn't die.
But with fire... this beast was born in a swamp area. If it accidentally fell into water, they could forget about killing the Hydra forever.
Even if it was killed, the drop rate for the Hydra Heart was not high. Besides the heart, the remaining drops were pure dead weight.
But just for that one Hydra Heart, they had to endure the disgust and farm the Hydra countless times.
"This BOSS is simply made to annoy people!"
Aelita indignantly slapped her Beast Journal.
The more she listened to Su Lin, the more she understood Lawrence's tragic encounter.
Hilulele thoughtfully examined the Hydra picture, carefully glancing at the others.
"Am I the only one who thinks this little guy is cute?"
"..."
In the dead silence, Lawrence's face was sorrowful, and his words were earnest.
"Your Majesty, believe me... that is the most beastly monster in the world, even more beastly than the Tentacle Slime tribe of Moonlight Plain!"
For Lawrence, who feared nothing, to say such a thing.
It showed how terrifying a psychological shadow the Hydra had left on him.
But Aelita had another sudden idea and spoke up boldly.
"Can the Hydra drop eggs that hatch Hydras? I have a bold idea..."
"Rejected!"
Su Lin expressionlessly tapped Aelita's head.
"Hydras don't drop eggs at all. Without Creator-bro's compensation, they can only breed naturally."
"Then can't we go find that Creator-bro?"
"I wish!"
Giving Aelita an annoyed look, Su Lin continued:
"No matter what, the Hydra must be killed. The Hydra Heart is an invincible artifact in the ice and fire legend floor. Once we get it, we can also activate a health regeneration cheat."
Aelita pondered thoughtfully.
"Since it needs to be set on fire to be killed... Su Lin, isn't your Bugatti Veyron a Fire Dragon? It should be easy for it to handle, right?"
"Originally, yes."
"Originally?"
Su Lin looked helplessly at Lawrence.
"The initial stage of the Hydra is the easiest to kill. With a stronger combat awareness, just use a bow with enchanted fire arrows to shoot it."
"But now all nine of its heads have grown out; it's a genuine perfect entity."
"Even if fire can prevent it from growing heads, its absurd regeneration speed can be considered invincibility in some sense."
"My Bugatti Veyron might not even be its match."
At these words, everyone looked at Lawrence again, who bowed his head in shame.
He finally understood how unprincipled his actions had been.
"Never mind."
Looking at Hilulele, Su Lin instructed:
"Call a hundred soldiers, all carrying fire arrows. Use quick-build blocks to trap it in its lair, don't let it get near water. We'll gang up on it."
"With so many people shooting it with fire arrows, we should be able to kill it."
Aelita nodded thoughtfully.
Finally, it came down to the righteous group beating.
It seemed the MC Dungeon was also quite considerate.
If such a BOSS were thrown into other Dungeons as a lord, those other Dungeons would be set for life.
Honestly, Aelita thought that if fire was all it took, there shouldn't be much of a problem.
"Why don't we just bring a few buckets of lava and cremate it? It would also change the swampy terrain, and we wouldn't have to worry about its invincible health lock."
"...Thank you very much!"
Su Lin gave her an annoyed eye-roll.
"Is the point to kill it? The point is to kill the Hydra and get the Hydra Heart! You'd be happy throwing lava, but then the drops would be directly cremated by the lava. Would you compensate me with a Hydra Heart?"
"Oh, I see... I forgot we still need to use a looting enchanted sword to cut it at the end."
Aelita was used to Su Lin occasionally retorting her.
If Su Lin didn't retort her one day, she might even feel unaccustomed.
Excitedly patting the tablet, Aelita looked proud.
"In that case, let me deliver the final blow! In terms of luck, I should be the best, right?"
Su Lin didn't deny this.
At least so far, Aelita's luck had always surpassed that of others.
Was this the compensation from the Ancient Elven Tree?
Closing the door on Aelita's figure, and conveniently opening the window to Aelita's luck?
The Ancient Elven Tree was indeed fair... After preparing for battle, Su Lin immediately led Hilulele and the others to the Hydra's lair.
The swamp area marked by Lawrence was not far.
At their current mount speed, in about ten minutes, they saw the formidable Hydra majestically guarding its treasures in its lair.
In terms of size and aura, this guy was far inferior to the Level 5 Fire Dragon under Su Lin.
But the chilling and highly threatening sense of danger made even Hilulele, who faced Level 5 Dragons without batting an eye, fall silent.
"As expected, it's nasty..."
Looking at the environment around the Hydra's lair, Su Lin helplessly shook his head.
As far as the eye could see were dark swamp waters. The Hydra's lair stood like an isolated island in the swamp.
In this situation, if the Hydra managed to leave its lair and touch water, it would be a complete waste of effort.
Fortunately, he had prepared for the worst and planned countermeasures before coming.
"Let's go, first surround the Hydra's lair."
With that, Su Lin looked at the fully armed Aelita and said softly:
"When the Hydra is on the verge of death, you take the looting enchanted sword and cut it."
"No problem! But..."
Aelita looked at Su Lin with anticipation.
"If we get the Hydra Heart, can I borrow it? I want to single-handedly slay a dragon once and get my own Dragon Egg."
Su Lin naturally wouldn't refuse such a small matter.
He also wanted to see how powerful the real Hydra Heart was.
If it was like in the game, his life-saving ability would be unparalleled in the world!
The Elves' work efficiency was very high. In the blink of an eye, they had surrounded the Hydra's lair.
An opening was made at the top of the lair. Soon, they would unleash a volley of arrows on the Hydra from there.
Without dodge or invulnerability, it was a guaranteed kill.
Just as they were about to draw their bows and shoot, Hilulele suddenly pulled Su Lin excitedly.
"Su Lin, I also have a bold idea!"
"If we give the Hydra some Fire Resistance potions, can we create an absolutely invincible divine BOSS?"
...Staring at that eager loli face.
After a long pause, Su Lin expressionlessly turned to the blonde flat-chested Aelita.
"Aelita! Look at the soldiers you're leading!"
