Han Jin and the others looked at each other. Before they could decide whether they should go or not, the ground suddenly shook. Then, crazy roars, muffled crashing sounds, and violent magic waves came from afar. The trees around them were all shaken to the point of rustling.
"What's going on over there?" Asa asked in surprise.
"Don't wander off." Léger's figure flashed and disappeared into the dense forest.
"Don't bother." Yalina frowned and released her Clairvoyance Eyes. The first two Clairvoyance Eyes were not in the right position. When the third Clairvoyance Eyes was released, a shocking scene appeared in front of everyone.
Two holy beasts were engaged in a life-and-death battle. Those who had never seen them would not be able to imagine how huge they were. For example, Sunier had to jump between the branches several times before she could reach the top of the ancient tree, but the two holy beasts could reach the same height as the ancient tree if they stretched their necks!
The two magical beasts both had fat bellies. Their lower bodies were similar to lizards, but their upper bodies were very different. One of them had several heads and a very long neck, even longer than its body. It moved abnormally fast, just like a spirit snake. Its whole body was greenish gray and emitted a faint phosphorescent light.
The other holy beast's body was a size smaller, of course, only compared to its opponent. However, its head was much larger than its opponent's, but unfortunately, it only had one head. In the crazy collisions and biting, it was obviously at a disadvantage. Whenever it was in danger, it would spit out a thick flame from its mouth to save itself from danger.
Although they were far away from the battlefield, they could still feel the fierceness of the battle and the strength of the two holy animals. No matter if it was hard rocks or tall trees, nothing could withstand their tussle. Sand and stones were flying everywhere, and branches and leaves were falling down. It had only been a short time since the battle started, but the two holy animals had already razed the surrounding dozens of meters to the ground.
In the battle, the holy beast with several heads could easily take the initiative, but it was very afraid of the flames released by its opponent. As soon as the flames flashed, it would retreat in panic. Sometimes, it could not retreat in time and was hit by the flames. It could be clearly seen that all its heads were trembling violently, and some were even twisted into a ball. Obviously, it was in great pain.
"Hydra? A … a dragon? "Moxinke's eyes almost popped out of his eye sockets.
"It's not a dragon, it's a half-grown baby dragon," Yalina said softly. "How pitiful …"
The young magicians were in an uproar and almost applauded. For them, these days were like hell. Now that they saw the Hydra, they could finally go home! As for whether they can kill Hydra, they are not worried at all.
Morrisons and the others looked at each other. They could see the joy in each other's eyes. After all, all the loot would be divided equally! The key was that dragon. Although it was only a young dragon, its skin could be used to create top-tier armor. Its blood was an extremely rare alchemy ingredient. Its bones could be used to create a large number of magic arrows. If they met a good customer, such as an undead mage, a complete set of dragon bones could be sold for an astronomical price. Most importantly, they might even be able to obtain a dragon crystal!
Realistically speaking, if they could obtain that dragon, they would not need to do anything else for the rest of their lives. It would be enough for them to live happily ever after!
"I've only heard of people who encountered such things and suddenly became rich. I didn't expect such good luck to come to us today!" Morrisons laughed.
"Principal, shall we go now?" Asa rubbed his hands excitedly.
"No, now is not the time," Sunier said.
The battle between the two magical beasts became more and more intense. They wrestled from the hillside to the foot of the hill, and then from the foot of the hill to the next. Everywhere they went, there was a mess. In fact, Hydras were very low ranked among the top magical beasts. One reason was that they were too heavy, and the other was that they did not have any special abilities. They could only spit out some acid to corrode their opponents. If all the magical beasts living in an area were top magical beasts, Hydras could only be obedient with their tails between their legs. However, that dragon was still a young dragon. Even its dragon scales were not fully grown. Furthermore, the dragon's proficiency in Dragon Language Magic was not unlimited. Gradually, the number of times it used magic became less and less. On the other hand, the attacks of the Hydra became more and more fierce.
Finally, the Hydra seized the opportunity. A few of its heads spat out acid mist from above, attracting the attention of the baby dragon, while the other heads stretched out to the baby dragon's abdomen, biting it hard and dragging it forcefully. The baby dragon was dragged with its belly facing the sky. Naturally, the baby dragon was not willing to wait for its death. It opened its mouth and bit one of the Hydra's heads.
The intense pain made the Hydra even more crazy. The remaining heads bit on the young dragon's abdomen with all their might. Pieces of flesh and blood flew everywhere. In the blink of an eye, a few bloody holes were torn into the young dragon's abdomen. However, the young dragon was in more pain, so it became even crazier. Not only did it not let go, but it also shook violently, trying to bite off one of the heads of the Hydra.
"Let's go!" Sunier felt that it was time.
The road to the battlefield was not long. It was only a few miles, but it was very difficult to walk. However, this was not a problem for the people who had fallen into a frenzy. There was no need for Morrisons to pave the way. The magicians were all running forward with all their might. It could even be said that they were rolling and crawling.
When they arrived at the battlefield, the battle was already over. One of the heads of the Hydra was hanging limply on the ground, and the young dragon's chest was cut open, revealing a bloody mess of internal organs. Seeing a group of crazy people rushing out from the forest, the Hydra immediately roared to warn all the uninvited guests.
However, Asa and the others did not care. They all began to cast spells. Lightning, fireballs, wind blades, and other spells rained down on the Hydra. There were even small fireballs. The two deacons were also casting healing spells, not caring whether their companions were injured or not.
The Hydra clearly felt the hostility and rushed over with large strides. All kinds of spells fell on its body, but none of them had any effect.
Although the Hydra was said to be slow, and its two legs were ridiculously short, everything was relative. The former was compared to other top-grade holy animals, while the latter was compared to its body length. In fact, the Hydra's two thick legs were three meters tall, and its huge body could be described as a giant. When it ran, it gave off a feeling that the earth was shaking and the mountains were shaking, making it hard for people to breathe.
The faces of the young mages changed, and they hurriedly began to cast restraining spells, trying to block the Hydra with Earth Wall and Fire Wall. Unfortunately, with their magic power, the effect of the spells they cast was not optimistic. The Fire Wall and Dragon Breath were worlds apart. The Hydra was immune to such spells, and the Earth Wall was not as tall as the Hydra's legs, so it was even less effective.
"Roar …" The Hydra roared again. The closer it was, the more shocking it was. People had to raise their heads to see the ferocious snake heads.
Yalina had finished chanting her spell. She raised her magic staff forward, and a dazzling bolt of lightning shot out. It fell on the Hydra's body and turned into countless electric arcs that flowed out. Finally, it formed a giant net that firmly wrapped the Hydra in it.
The Hydra's body stiffened, and then it fell to the ground with a bang. Its immeasurable weight was like an exploding cannonball, raising a cloud of smoke and dust.
The Hydra struggled frantically, but the giant net made of lightning seemed to be elastic. No matter how the Hydra twisted, it could not break free from the lightning.
Yalina heaved a sigh of relief, and then began chanting another spell. At this moment, an unexpected accident happened. The young magician closest to Yalina suddenly stabbed at her with his magic staff. At the end of the staff, there was a shiny blade!
Yalina trusted her students and loved them. She had never thought that the attack would come from behind her! Moreover, a magician's reaction speed was not as fast as a warrior's. In her moment of shock, the sharp blade had pierced deeply into her back.
"Warrick, are you crazy?!" Asa roared with his eyes wide open.
Yalina staggered. Suddenly, a flash of light shot out from her magic staff, and a bolt of lightning struck the attacking magician at close range. The power of the lightning released by a magus was unimaginable. The magician screamed in pain and was sent flying.
Yalina struggled to turn around and look at her good student. Suddenly, a faint shadow appeared beside Yalina and swung a dagger at Yalina's neck at lightning speed.
The first assassination was an accident, and the second assassination was even more unexpected. Yalina was still wondering why her student attacked her, and she didn't expect there to be another assassin! Although she had learned her lesson last time, in this situation, she couldn't use magic detection to look for possible thieves.
However, at this time, Han Jin and Sunier both reacted. Just now, they were so focused on admiring Yalina's magic that they let their guard down. When the shadow appeared, Han Jin had already released a wooden golem. However, the opponent's attack was too fast, and he couldn't block it in time. He could only control the wooden golem to knock Yalina to the side.
The dagger slashed Yalina's neck, and blood splattered. The shadow didn't look at whether Yalina was dead or alive, turned around and fled.
Yalina swayed and fell down. As she fell, a magic scroll quietly floated out and turned into a giant bolt of lightning, chasing after the assassin.
If the lightning released by Yalina just now was as thick as a person's arm, then this one was a lightning pillar. The shadow was hit directly, and his whole body was sent flying. He hit a rock and stuck to it for a moment, then slowly slid down. Blood flowed out of the corner of his mouth and nose.
Sunier had already drawn her longbow. Just as she was about to shoot an arrow, she suddenly saw a ray of black light from the corner of her eye. The speed of the black light was indescribably fast, even exceeding the limit of human reaction. However, Sunier's experience of life and death had already made her instincts. She subconsciously leaned to one side, and a powerful arrow shot into her shoulder and pierced through her body. With a thud, Sunier was nailed to a tree trunk.
In a duel between archers, whoever was in the dark had the upper hand. Sunier had killed many archers from the enemy camp, but today, it was her turn to be killed.
At the same time, Léger appeared in front of the assassin and stabbed his dagger into the assassin's chest. In that split second, there was no time to analyze the opponent's strength. After Léger made his move, he realized that he had chosen the wrong position! The strength of the assassin's body was far beyond his expectations. Of course, the assassin also didn't expect to receive such a fatal blow.
An ominous glint flashed in the assassin's eyes. He grabbed Léger's wrist with such force that Léger felt as if his hand was being held in place by an iron band. He couldn't move at all. Then, the dagger went straight for Léger's chest.
Léger reacted quickly and grabbed the assassin's wrist. After a moment of stalemate, victory was decided. He could only watch as the dagger inched closer and closer to his chest. In his panic, Léger struggled with his right hand, trying to inflict more damage with his dagger while desperately dodging.
"Ah …" The assassin roared and pushed forward with all his strength. Léger's dagger went a few inches deep into the assassin's body. The tip of the dagger even penetrated the assassin's body and pressed against the rock behind him. The distance between the two was naturally reduced by a few inches. Then, the assassin used all his strength to stab at Léger's chest.
Léger used all his strength to move back and avoid being hit in his vitals. The dagger only left a deep wound under his ribs.
In the twinkling of an eye, both the assassin and the victim had paid a great price. Han Jin and the others were here to reap the fruits of their labor, but none of them had expected that their encounter would be even more tragic than the fight between holy animals.
