As soon as they entered the cave, the team started a fierce battle with the poisonous snakes.
After ten minutes of fighting, everyone killed a total of hundreds of venomous snakes thicker than arms.
The difficulty of dealing with these venomous snakes was beyond Kel'Thuzad's expectation. The magister could kill dozens of ordinary snakes with just a single spell.
But the poisonous snakes in this cave, with their skin with spikes and bone plates, have quite high magic resistance.
Tavish and Brian also expressed similar exclamations. The skins of these snakes not only have good magic resistance, but also have good physical resistance. Even if they are shot, they may not be able to penetrate them.
Among the heroes, the most depressing one is Lao Chen. Among them, he is the strongest and has the highest level.
However, he lacked the means to strike remotely under normal circumstances, and the toughness of these snakes was beyond his expectation, so much so that at first he couldn't kill the snakes even if he knocked them with a bamboo stick.
Lao Chen, who was almost bitten by a snake, put away his contempt, but he failed to control his strength and smashed the poisonous snake into a pulp with several sticks, making the ground around him a bloody mess.
, looks a bit disgusting.
"I'm really sorry. I should have warned you before coming down. Bright light will attract the attention of poisonous snakes.
There are hundreds of thousands of venomous snakes living here. In order to avoid unnecessary fighting during the search, we cannot create light."
Tavish and Brian were relatively calm. They had taken risks before that could not involve light. They were just groping in the dark.
But Benedictus and Kel'Thuzad looked at each other, unable to act without light.
But before they could ask questions, Cortina Xiaoyu gave the answer.
"We have eagle eye potions here. We just need to apply them on our eyelids and we can see clearly in the dark."
As he spoke, the harpy following Xiao Yu took out a crudely made clay pot from the leather pouch on his shoulder.
Opening the lid of the clay pot, it was filled with a light blue paste.
Xiao Yu first used the claws at the end of his wings to stretch out a finger to scoop out some potion from the clay pot, and demonstratively applied it on his eyelids.
"Hey! If there is such a thing, you should take it out as soon as possible."
Brian complained a little, and at the same time he quickly reached into the clay pot.
"I was really in a hurry just now, please forgive my negligence."
The Queen of the Harpies still expressed her apology. Only Kel'Thuzad looked on with cold eyes and did not reach out to apply the potion.
"Hey! It's really useful!"
Over there, Brian and Tavish had already applied the potion, and they couldn't help but admire it as they watched the cave that was originally invisible become clearer.
Kel'Thuzad also poured out the potion from the clay pot, put it to his nose, smelled it, and felt the soft magical scent above.
After confirming that there was nothing wrong with the potion, he looked at Xiao Yu with a half-smile.
"Queen of the Harpies, there are other things we need to pay attention to on the way forward. What other props have you prepared here? Why don't we think about them all at once.
I think your memory isn’t very good either, so you’d better think about it here, and we’re heading deeper into the cave.”
Xiao Yu realized that this mage had probably seen through his little trick, but he still said with a smile without blushing.
"It's really gone this time. I won't make the same stupid mistake a second time.
I admire your great strength. As long as we work closely together in the next journey, we will definitely be able to defeat the hydra."
Kel'Thuzad burst into laughter. This harpy queen, who had barely reached the level of a hero, could not judge how powerful her own team was, so she could only use this method to judge the strength of her collaborators.
Apparently the harpy queen was impressed by the strength they showed in the encounter with hundreds of venomous snakes, and then she took out the precious potion for everyone to use.
Thinking of this, Kel'Thuzad became very interested in the harpies. This race was unprecedented in the Kingdom. Their wonderful bodies showed high adaptability to magic. In short, they were of great research value.
Yet as Kel'Thuzad stared at the harpy, the harpy stared back at him.
"Mr. Master, I am impressed by your strength and charm. Are you interested in becoming my spouse?"
Cortina Xiaoyu flapped her wings softly and whispered into Kel'Thuzad's ear, which made Kel'Thuzad roll his eyes wildly.
"No, please respect yourself, Queen."
After applying the Eagle Eye potion, the situation in the Snake King Cave was finally clearly visible.
The poisonous snakes in the first cave had all been eliminated because of the harpy's careful thoughts and reckless actions.
On the next road, the harpy led the team through caves and passages. It was obvious that the harpy had investigated the Snake King Cave in great detail, and was completely familiar with the process of being a guide.
Unfortunately, due to their own lack of strength, even after discovering the situation in the cave, they still were unable to kill the hydra and had to wait until they appeared before seeking cooperation.
"That's all we have control over. With our strength, we don't dare to go deeper."
Xiao Yu's words were very sincere. They avoided many battles along the way, but many battles also occurred. In the process, the harpies also gained a more comprehensive understanding of their strength.
In fact, after paying the price of dozens of sisters, the Harpies have basically explored nearly 80% of the Snake King Cave.
Not far into the depths, everyone came to an extremely huge cave.
And it was in this cave that everyone finally saw the true face of the cave hydra.
With a length of more than ten meters and a three-headed shape that attempts to break through, it possesses a huge intimidating power.
The soldiers of the First Battalion of the First Division of the Army, even though they had seen giant dragons and the towering Croso in the war, but in such a claustrophobic environment at this moment, having such a close encounter with such a monster, after all,
There will still be fear.
On the contrary, their battalion commander, while doing ideological work for them, could not help but express his disdain for this monster.
"Isn't he just a heir? It's not like I haven't seen the real Gazrilla before.
I was one of the witnesses to the battle in which the Protector beheaded Gazrilla, and I shot many of the arrows on the evil god's body."
While boasting, the troll battalion commander felt as if life was like a dream.
After the mobilization of the soldiers ended, the battle in the cave officially began.
Old Garni's assessment of the Hydra is generally correct. Although it is indeed the descendant of a demigod, Gazrilla himself is in an extremely weak state. How powerful can its descendant be? It is only at the level of a mid-range hero.
The soldiers mainly deal with the venomous serpent servants of the hydra, while the monster itself is left to the powerful heroes.
In the battle with the five heroes, the hydra looked very embarrassed, but it had to be admitted that the huge body of the hydra gave him unparalleled defensive power.
Lao Chen's bamboo stick poked out, but even the thorium ingot left traces. When he poked the hydra's body, all he got was a string of sparks and the hydra's howl of pain.
What's even more strange to everyone is that even in such a state of embarrassment, the hydra still stares at the rock wall at the top of the cave with its head, as if it is confronting something.
The other party in the confrontation is naturally Van Cleef, who survived the catastrophe!
Speaking of which, this can only be summed up as Van Cleef's luck. If he were not good at assassination techniques and mastered the skills of sneaking into the shadows, he would have died in the mouth of the hydra.
After being pulled into the cave by the hydra, Van Cleef desperately used a dagger to blind one of the hydra's eyes before freeing himself from the snake's mouth.
After that, Van Cleef started to sneak and started a battle of wits and courage with the hydra.
Never underestimate the night vision ability of a stealth assassin. After searching in the cave for a long time, Van Cleef finally found an excellent hiding place - inside a narrow rock crevice at the top of the cave.
As for why the hydra had to separate its head to defend against Van Cleef on the top of the cave even during the battle, it was because Van Cleef discovered the weakness of the cave hydra!
Perhaps because the accumulated damage caused by the five heroes to the hydra during the battle was too great, this demigod descendant finally showed its mysterious power.
The three snake heads opened their bloody mouths and spit out overwhelming wind blades.
It's just that the hydra wouldn't have thought that Kel'Thuzad in the team's understanding of magic was completely superior to it!
Kel'Thuzad directly manipulated the purest arcane energy to disintegrate the hydra's wind blade. At the same time, he also displayed powerful ice magic to completely freeze the hydra into an ice sculpture.
In fact, the roar that Li De and the others heard on the ground was produced at this time. It was not a roar at all. It was entirely a spell duel in the cave, which disrupted the airflow in the cave.
Coupled with the fact that Kel'Thuzad instantly lowered the temperature, the outside air poured back in to form suction, which also created a shrill sound.
The real situation is that the ice magic caused huge damage to the hydra, but Kel'Thuzad also became very weak after the large-scale magic.
Just like that, the hydra walked towards Kel'Thuzad with staggering steps, and several other heroes quickly protected Kel'Thuzad.
It was at this time that Van Cleef finally took action!
He was hiding in a cramped environment like a rock crevice. No matter what kind of attack the hydra had launched before, Van Cleef had no way to deal with it: the servant venomous snake could not climb up, and the hydra itself was too big to reach in.
At this time, taking advantage of the fight between the hydra and Kel'Thuzad, Van Cleef finally decided to jump out of the rock crack and pulled out his cruel barb at the hydra from a high position!
The Gani projection on the ground seemed to sense it at this moment, and jumped into the cave.
"What a great opportunity! I'm going to help Van Cleef! The garbage man is picking up garbage!"
