[Your Highness: We're currently looking for a new house to live in; we're tired of the old way of life.]
[Lord of the World: Now that you've saved my sister, what is my reward...?]
[Your Highness: ......]
[Your Highness: Can we postpone this for a few days? I need to talk to my sister about this, and we also need to look for a place to stay in the next few days, so...]
[Lord of the World: No, I'm not rushing you, but I'm saying I can give you time. I'm a bit busy lately, so you don't need to come.]
[Sister's Endurance: Are you guys talking about something really outrageous?]
[God's Tongue: That's a bit exciting. (,,?ω?,,)]
[Sister searching for her brother: Chat logs]
[Lord of the World: Ying, you're shameless! You even collect this!]
[The sister searching for her brother: Don't think I'll delete this just because you're praising me.]
[The sister who's looking for her brother: I want to come too!]
[Lord of the World: What are you doing here? Is it any of your business?]
[The younger sister searching for her brother: Who said this has nothing to do with me! That's Ai-chan! She may have a young body, but she's a mature older sister at heart!]
[The sister looking for her brother: Hehehehehe~(,,? 3 ?,,)]
[Your Highness: .....]
[Lord of the World: Tone it down a bit.]
Seeing Yingmei's incredible statement, Lin Tian felt ashamed of himself.
Lin Tian: In front of Ying, I'm just a greenhorn.
Lin Tian left the chat group and looked at the red forest in front of him. "Everyone, we're about to reach Hydra's territory. Be careful of the flames that might appear around us."
After the four responded, Lin Tian led the group deeper inside.
Before long, the five of them crossed a small hill and saw a huge monster with three heads in a space that looked like a mine. However, the mine had been completely hollowed out, and only some scattered coal and other minerals could be seen embedded in the top.
"Hydra, become a ghost!"
Chapter 50: Deep into the Dark Forest
"Why is this three-headed creature called the Hydra? Shouldn't it be called the Three-Headed Serpent?"
Seeing that the Hydra only had three heads, Kanroji Mitsuri asked in confusion.
Before Lin Tian could introduce it, Shinobu Kocho explained, "The Hydra grows two more heads every time one is cut off, until it has nine heads, which is why it is called the Hydra."
Kanroji Mitsuri pondered, "Does that mean we have to destroy all nine heads in total?"
"That's right, but it's also very easy to defeat. The Hydra only has three attack methods: fire breath, fire bombs, and bites."
"Once you drink the fire-resistant potion, you'll be immune to its fire breath. Its bite attack has a wind-up animation, so as long as you dodge in time when you see its head coming close, you'll be fine. The only thing to worry about is the fire bomb, but that thing is the same as the ghast, just with higher damage. You can also fight it off with your sword."
Lin Tian explained all of Hydra's abilities, even outlining how to deal with them.
Hearing Lin Tian say this, the girls felt relieved. It seemed that Hydra was just a figurehead, all show and no substance, and was not even as powerful as the Lich King.
At this moment, Hydra seemed to have discovered their presence. With a roar, its three heads spewed flames and attacked them.
After assessing the distance between themselves and the hydra, Lin Tian reassured the four women who were preparing to dodge, "I forgot to tell you, the Hydra's fire breath only covers about 20 squares, so..."
Before Lin Tian could finish speaking, he saw the flames spewed out by the hydra dissipate on their own.
Seeing the flames dissipate on their own, the women were stunned for a moment, then looked at the enormous hydra with strange expressions. What kind of useless thing is this?
"Same as always, I'll engage in melee combat, you guys attack its head from range."
After Lin Tian finished speaking, he took out a bottle of fire-resistant potion and drank it. Then, holding the Lower Realm Alloy Sword, he charged forward.
Although an axe deals more damage than a sword, damage is temporary, but looking cool is a lifelong matter!
Seeing Lin Tian rush forward, the four women thought for a moment. Shinobu Kocho and Mitsuri Kanroji took out their swords and followed him, while Kanao and Aoi Kanzaki took out their enchanted bows.
Lin Tian was slightly taken aback when he noticed the two women following him, but he didn't say anything. If they wanted to help, let them. Anyway, this Hydra wasn't difficult to fight, and close combat would be faster.
"Drink fire-resistant potion, be careful to avoid its bites, just cut its neck, and retreat quickly after cutting one off."
After giving instructions to the two women, Lin Tian went straight to the middle of the group.
Shinobu Kocho and Mitsuri Kanroji also ran off to opposite sides.
The three began to slash at the hydra's neck as if cutting meat with a dull knife, while Kanao and Aoi Kanzaki in the distance also blasted it with arrows. In no time, the hydra's head became a hedgehog.
But one of the heads suddenly exploded, all the arrows disappeared, and two new heads grew from the base of the hydra.
Before long, the five people combined their strength to blow all nine of the hydra's heads apart, leaving behind a shrunken hydra head, a pile of meat chops, and several bottles of blood.
"Hydra is really generous!" Shinobu Kocho exclaimed upon seeing the meat patties and blood scattered all over the ground.
"Even when it's dead, you're still offering us its flesh and blood, right? The meat is already roasted." Lin Tian teased upon hearing Shinobu's words.
Hearing Lin Tian's teasing, everyone felt a chill run down their spines. To be eaten and even have one's blood drunk after death—it's a bit like hell, isn't it?
Although this blood can't be drunk, it can only be used to make equipment...
That's fine too! Who would drink the blood of a living being for no reason?
.........
After defeating the four bosses in the Icefield and Swamp storylines, only the Phantom Knight and Twilight Ghast remain in the Dark Forest storyline.
Lin Tian continued his journey with the four women. It's worth mentioning that Lin Tian had changed his map; the previous one was now filled with maps of the Naga and the Lich King.
For this trip, Lin Tian chose to let Shinobu Kocho guide the way. Previously, it was Mitsuri Kanroji who guided the way, but perhaps her beginner period had already been used up. This time, let Shinobu Kocho choose.
Shinobu Kocho casually pointed in a direction, and Lin Tian led everyone in that direction.
Before long, the group indeed saw a forest shrouded in darkness, almost devoid of any light and appearing deathly still.
"Attention, everyone! There's a disgusting thing in the Dark Forest called the Red Hat Goblin. It's very fast and will randomly drop a TNT at our feet. Getting hit by that thing is just as bad as getting hit by a Creeper."
Upon hearing the word "Creature," the four girls became cautious; they knew all too well how powerful Creepers were.
Next, Lin Tian introduced the Skeleton Druid and Ghost Wolf that would appear in the Dark Forest.
The four women were somewhat wary of the Ghost Wolf, after all, it could turn invisible, but the Skeleton Druid was nothing to worry about.
After instructing everyone to stick torches in the ground, Lin Tian led the girls into the area.
As soon as I entered, I felt as if my vision had been taken away. Even though it was only less than five squares away from the outside, it turned out to be two different worlds!
Fortunately, the four women remembered Lin Tian's advice and immediately took out torches and began to place them over a wide area. In an instant, everyone's vision became brighter. Although it wasn't as bright as outside, it was enough.
Just as the group ventured deeper, a black shadow darted out, and a cold light rushed towards Lin Tian.
"Me again? Am I really that unlucky?"
Lin Tian swung his sword to deflect the figure, and with a few more strikes, the Ghost Wolf was successfully killed.
"Do you still think of me as the person I used to be?"
Lin Tian said smugly, and dodged another green grass seed with a flash. The spot where the grass seed hit turned into oak leaves.
Lin Tian turned around and saw a skeleton covered in a tattered green robe appear in his field of vision, with a huge spider under its buttocks.
The moment he saw the spider, Lin Tian took a step back and threw an ice bomb at it.
Then he took out three bows and started firing wildly at the group.
The skeleton druid and the spider were quickly taken down.
"Phew~" Lin Tian breathed a sigh of relief, finally managing to kill the multi-legged monster.
The four women were stunned, never expecting that Lin Tian would be afraid of such a thing.
"Xiao Tian, you..."
"No, don't talk nonsense. I'm not afraid of this thing. I just think that creatures with multiple legs are disgusting."
Lin Tian immediately understood what Kanroji Mitsuri wanted to say and explained.
"Yes, we believe you!" Kanao's eyes were full of trust.
Lin Tian: ...........
Chapter 51 side quest completed
After wandering around in the dark forest, the group finally spotted a spot that looked like an altar.
Lin Tian took out the Hydra trophy he had just acquired and placed it on the stand. The blockade with red patterns in the middle immediately disappeared.
Lin Tian knocked down the Hydra's spoils and jumped directly into the opening.
Seeing this, the four women also jumped down.
After some searching, the five of them successfully arrived at a room surrounded by iron railings. The load-bearing pillars on both sides were made of obsidian, which shows that the Phantom Knights were indeed quite impressive.
but.......
Seeing the six burial mounds inside, the five felt an inexplicable sense of unease. Why were they called graves? It felt like the class had been lowered a bit.
Lin Tian entered the tomb chamber, and the next moment, six creatures wearing dark green armor and holding swords, pickaxes, and axes appeared inside, all of them floating.
It's more accurate to say that the armor was flying rather than that it was wearing clothes, because there was no one inside the armor at all.
Kanao shot an arrow at one of them, but it had no effect whatsoever.
"Don't rush to attack. These Phantom Knights are unattackable right now. You can only attack them when a creature emerges from inside their armor."
"Everyone, use your shields to defend against their attacks."
As Lin Tian spoke, he raised his shield in front of him, blocking the Phantom Knights' thrown attacks while searching for which Phantom Knight had revealed its true form.
Unfortunately, no matter how you look at it, the six Phantom Knights are all empty.
At that moment, a phantom knight that flew to his side revealed its true form and slashed at him.
"Good timing!" Lin Tian didn't defend himself, but directly used the Vampire Scepter in his left hand and the Twilight Scepter in his right, attacking from both sides.
How could the young Phantom Knight know the wickedness of human nature? He was drained of his last drop of blood by Lin Tian.
