I Was Once a Legend

The snake's head fell off under the crisp blade, and the remaining dozen or so hairs hissed. Then, under the watchful eyes of Cui Zuojing and Dong Zheng, two new heads squirmed and grew out of the smooth fracture.

not this!

Cui Zuojing groaned inwardly. According to the ancient Greek legend, the head in the middle should be the immortal head of Hydera, but why——

The successive hands made Hydera completely angry. Fourteen long snake necks were flying randomly in the air. Cui Zuojing had no time to adjust his figure to dodge. fly out!

slam-la-

The young man flew upside down into the mangrove forest. After breaking many branches, his momentum eased, and he was finally forced to stop.He was stuck in the treetops, with many small wounds on his face and the back of his hands. Blood oozed and slid down his cheeks, but he had a bloody heroism.

Dong Zheng climbed the reeds on the slippery shore and made a difficult detour around Hydera. The monster was attracted by Cui Zuojing, and he didn't realize that another person had quietly approached.

Dong Zheng was observing the huge monster not far away. He was staring closely at the third head on the left of Hydera. Since the first attack, this head had been hiding at the back without any action. However, when Cui Zuojing attacked At the same time, the other snake necks seemed to be vaguely protecting it, as if they didn't want it to suffer any harm at all.

There are sharp horns on the huge snake's head, and the scarlet pupils are constantly uttering snake letters. Hiding among the many snake heads, Dong Zheng quietly touched a stone from his side, looked at the direction, and threw it hard.

He aimed very well, and just before the stone was about to hit the snake's head, the other head next to it immediately turned around, blocking the insignificant blow.

In an instant, all heads turned towards Dong Zheng.

Dong Zheng turned his head and hid, Cui Zuojing grinned his teeth and endured the pain and got up from the treetops, holding the Tang knife tightly again, seeing Hydera staring at Dong Zheng, cursed inwardly, took out a white paper from his pocket and threw it over , Trying to attract Hydera's attention again.

However it didn't work.

The water monster was still staring at Dong Zheng. He hid behind a mangrove tree, but the snake head rushed over and bit the mahogany to pieces. Its sharp, stinking fangs brushed against Dong Zheng's arm!

In desperation, Dong Zheng rolled on the spot, and the small river bank fixed by the mangrove roots was very steep. Dong Zheng stretched out his hand to grab the reeds and tried to stabilize his figure, but the cluster of plants was under the impact of his rolling. He was uprooted directly, and fell into the swamp below with Dong Zheng.

The deep silt under the water seemed to have a kind of magical power, which issued a strong suction to firmly suck Dong Zheng's feet, and he couldn't break free for a while.

Dong Zheng didn't struggle in panic, his body was sinking slowly, he fell forward, his upper body lying on the shore, trying his best to slow down the speed of his sinking, and at the same time, the information was transmitted to Arabidopsis in the center of the core.

—The third from the left is its immortal head!

Cui Zuojing immediately rolled onto the embankment and rushed towards Hydera.Dong Zheng threw out a jasmine flower in his pocket with great effort. The flower fell into the swamp and immediately began to grow, its roots plunged into the mud in the water, and white flowers emerged from the emerald green branches and leaves, exuding a rich fragrance.

The snakeheads who were coming towards Dong Zheng were immediately attracted attention, turned directly, and bit off the whole plant of Jasmine in one bite.

Dong Zheng, who had already felt the stench from the snake's mouth, finally got a moment to breathe. He crawled along the embankment with both arms, trying to pull up the lower body who was gradually sinking into the swamp.

And at this time, Hydera, who was temporarily attracted to [Little Jasmine]'s full attention, swallowed the whole plant and looked at Dong Zheng again.

The blade swung to.

The blood was splashed, and it fell on the swamp, causing gurgling mud bubbles. Cui Zuojing cut the snake's neck closest to Dong Zheng in half!

Dong Zheng's head was covered with blood, he didn't have time to take care of that much, turned his head, and had a panoramic view of everything in the dark swamp.

In the center of the core, the leaves and tender stems of Arabidopsis thaliana are already a little wilted, and the poisonous mist affects Cui Zuojing all the time.

Hydera's huge body, flapping wings, and the head that was split in half fell powerlessly, because the old head can't grow a new one for a while, and the rest of the snake's neck is waving wildly, all of which are truly reflected in Dong Zheng's eyes. It turns into a data stream and rushes into the kernel.

Something is being built very fast.

Numerous phantoms flashed in front of his eyes, and he saw the trajectory of the intertwined snake neck movement, and the pale yellow lines were faintly visible.

Dong Zheng didn't know what it was, but there was a voice telling him: do it!

With a thought in Dong Zheng's mind, the path was immediately transmitted to Cui Zuojing's mind. The boy was about to land on the nearby shore, but he gritted his teeth and inserted the knife into the mahogany as hard as he could. Turn around and leap onto Hydera's back.

In an instant, the long tail with sharp bony spurs was thrown out of the mud without warning, and directly hit the position where Cui Zuojing originally planned to land!

Cui Zuojing broke out in a cold sweat. If he hadn't acted on the information sent by Dong Zheng just now and couldn't dodge in time, he would definitely be injured this time.

It was too late to rejoice, Hydera's repeated attacks came one after another, Cui Zuojing jumped on the spot, followed the instructions of the yellow line in his mind, jumped onto the fourth head on the right, grabbed the hard horn protruding from the snake's head, With a swoop, he threw Tang Dao straight out!

The black Tang saber accurately passed through the slits between the three snake heads, and at a very tricky angle, it slashed at the heavily protected third snake head on the left.

The power of the Slayer still remained for a short time after he let go, and the knife cut into the neck of the snake, almost cutting off its entire head!

"Aw—!"

The screams pierced the eardrums, Dong Zheng was stunned, his eyes turned black, and his ears seemed to bleed from the shock.He insisted on continuing to strengthen the flow of the visual port, tried his best to feel the unprecedented mysterious feeling in his heart, and passed everything he could "see" to Cui Zuojing through the core.

Regardless of being excited about the blow, Cui Zuojing fell on the embankment, rolled around a few times, and finally slammed into a red tree before finally stopping.

Cui Zuojing struggled to stand up, and became dizzy for periods of time. The poisonous mist had completely invaded his body. The blow just now had used up his last strength. Now his hands and feet were weak and he could not use any strength at all.

Dong Zheng finally pulled his lower body out of the swamp, dragged the mangrove roots and reeds, and climbed onto the shore.

Hydera, who had been fatally hit, was making the final dying struggle, with blood and mud splashing everywhere, Dong Zheng raised his hands to protect his head and face, hid on the other side of the embankment, and leaned against it exhaustedly.

He closed his eyes and sank into the core. At this moment, the condition of this small grass was very bad. The small leaves showed a poisonous deep purple, limp and weak.

Dong Zheng didn't know what to do, so he could only turn out a kettle to water it, and immediately summoned Cui Zuojing, who was lying on the other side, back to the prisoner's space.

Cui Zuojing's complexion was pale, and he did not forget to say: "The knife..."

"I'll go find it. You're poisoned. Take a good rest first. We'll go find uncle immediately after we get out of here." Dong Zhengfei said quickly.He also felt very uncomfortable. Although the amount of exercise was not as much as that of Cui Zuojing, the amount of poisonous mist he inhaled was not too much, but it was still enough for him to eat a pot.

He tried his best to breathe steadily, and searched in the inner core, hoping to find some way to solve the poisonous mist entering the body.

More than ten minutes passed, and Hydera's struggle gradually weakened, only to hear the indistinct mourning in the chest of the water monster.

The strength of this Hydra is far less than that in the legend. After all, the box does not intend to let everyone die in it. The monsters born will definitely consider the strength of the pilgrims, so that everyone will not be helpless.

Otherwise, based on the current Dong Zheng and Cui Zuojing alone, it is impossible to solve it like this.

When it was completely quiet, Dong Zheng, who had slowed down a little bit, got up. He climbed up the embankment. The huge water monster had lost its ability to move. Blood flowed out, only crimson flesh and blood could be seen.

At this moment, Hydera's huge body has completely emerged from the swamp, crowding the entire waterway.

The faint fluctuations came, and Dong Zheng felt it with his heart, and the source seemed to be Hydera.

Confirming that it was indeed dead, Dong Zheng climbed up on its back, followed the undulations, and found the third head on the left that it dropped.

In the mouth of the ferocious snake head, the dark red crystal was emitting a faint light.

Dong Zheng picked it up, wiped it on his pants, put it in his pocket, and searched again, but found nothing else useful.

The fluctuation on the red crystal is similar to the wooden box originally found in the power cabin. Since it was obtained by killing Hydera, it must be a useful good thing.

Dong Zheng climbed up the embankment again, the boat was gone, and the swamp was only halfway through, and he still didn't know how to get out.

Since Hydera's death, the poisonous fog in the forest has dissipated a lot. The fog doesn't seem to be fatal, it only affects the ability to move to a certain extent, and he still has some strength.

Dong Zheng glanced into the prisoner's space. Cui Zuojing was resting on the bed. The boy was motionless, but judging from the condition of Arabidopsis thaliana in the center of the core, there should be no serious problems. It's just that he inhaled too much poison and his body became weak and his energy was exhausted. up.

Dong Zheng felt an indescribable feeling in his heart. He closed the spiritual link between the two, sighed secretly, and felt uncontrollable guilt.

Every time he encountered danger, it was Cui Zuojing who faced the enemy head-on. Although he was the most powerful among all of them, it was the second time he had been injured in this box.

Without Cui Zuojing, their team would have suffered heavy losses long ago, and very few people could survive. But now, the young man is enduring more hardships that he shouldn't have.

He didn't have to.

This realization made Dong Zheng a little uncomfortable. When he first entered the Pure White Realm and signed a blood contract with Cui Zuojing by accident, he had never felt a similar mood.At that time, his mind was full of how to keep himself and Linhai alive.

What has changed?

Dong Zheng was very clear in his heart.

Still in the real world, various things at work always fill his life, filling up all his time, leaving him no time to think about emotional matters.

Coupled with the realization that it may be difficult for him to find a sincere and suitable partner because of his different sexual orientation, Dong Zheng simply did not waste time in dating.

But in Pure White Realm, everything is different.

There are threats of life and death here, and there are dangers everywhere. It is uncertain when the sun of tomorrow will not be seen, but because the only goal is to survive, many things are much simpler.

So it's like what Cui Zuojing said to Allen at the time - people who have died once, why do they care about so much.

Maybe...he could follow his heart and try to take that step?
