22.Nine-headed snake (1)
“Damage!”
Me and Lenny ran through the forest with all our might to get out of the range of the breath.
But how can a mere human escape from the waves of miasma? We had no choice but to hide behind huge rocks to avoid the waves of breath that stung the back of our heads.
Heart beating like crazy. A musty smell enters the nostrils. And a rock that gets smaller and smaller. It was a rock the size of a house, so it lasted for a long time, but even after a minute, the future will melt with this rock. I don’t want such a future. I just want to go to the bottom of the dungeon for a hydra kid.
Escape at least!
Go to the mainland, settle down, live a normal life, get married… Anyway!
“Hey! Any good way? If we go on like this, the two of us will get along well and end up turning into purple-flavored juice!”
Oh, that’s right. Now is not the time to think about things like this.
I put my hand on the rock. All I can do now is this.
“Production.”
The boulders that began to melt became well-trimmed rock walls and began to block a larger area. You should be able to hold out a little longer than before. Regardless of who said it first, we ran with all our might before the rock wall melted away. The sloshing puddles of poison bother me, but it’s not the time to care.
Anyway, it’s the same whether you fall into a puddle poison and search for it or get hit by a breath.
“No way?! You can’t go back like this!”
“Thinking!”
From noble mtl dot com.
The breath that made my back sting is gradually decreasing. In the first place, there is no way that a creature that is not a machine can use such a poisonous breath for a long time.
But…
“Hey! That bastard is following us! Any way?!”
The ground rumbles. Since he is so big, the sight of him spreading terrifying vibrations just by dragging his body and moving sent chills down his spine.
You can never run away with speed. When I was certain of my conclusion, I spoke directly to Lenny, who was running next to me.
“You go back like this and bring Karina! I will lure him out!”
“What? What are you going to do?! What can you do with a guy like that?!”
“Don’t worry, there are ways!”
I pointed in one direction with my finger. It was in the direction of my territory. Lenny’s eyes meet. Lenny nodded her head with a serious face.
Lenny ran in the direction I pointed. It was the opposite of where I was going.
“This way! You little snake!”
I screamed as I ran out into the open road on purpose so I wouldn’t catch up with Lenny. Lenny, who had gone into the woods, would no longer be seen. Just when I was sure Lenny had completely escaped, I ran into the wooded area. No matter how tall they are than elephants, you can’t ignore trees at all. Slow down a little bit to increase the distance.
I know some of the geography of this area.
Let’s run to the point that popped into my head.
I ran to the place I was aiming for, retracing the faint map in my head. The ground shook, the poison in the puddle splashed like a rock, the eerie cry and the occasional breath threatened my life every minute, but I was confident that I would not die.
A crisis like this would come and knock on our door once in a while.
“f*ck. It’s just going to be finely.”
It is finally here. The largest rock in the realm of snakes. I quickly climbed over it and glared at the snake running toward me. Naturally, nine pairs of eyes also make eye contact.
Run away. Run away run away run away run away…
The fear of snakes, imprinted in human DNA, whispered fear in my ears.
A really sweet, sweet suggestion.
Run with all your might like a frightened rabbit.
At this moment, I was a rabbit. All you can do is run away.
…But I am human.
You can’t just run away like a rabbit.
“…Let’s try it.”
Just like the first time I encountered a hydra a few years ago.
It blooms rocks. The tip of the shovel is stuck in the rock, and stone dust scatters. I activated the skill in a low voice.
“Production.”
My eyesight soars before I finish my words. What I made was a stone pillar. A somewhat flimsy column with a narrow root part, about 15 meters high, with sharp horns hanging in the direction of the hydra. If you look at it from a distance, it will look like a huge pickaxe-shaped pillar without a back head. I stood at the top of the stone pillar and glared at the hydra. The hydra looked up at me from the suddenly rising pillar.
Really high. If you take one wrong step, you will die not from a snake, but from a fall.
“…Should I be glad I became a zombie hydra?”
It sounds like crap, but it could be true. Because the sane Hydra was a cunning fellow.
I clearly remember leaving a bear cub in front of me seven years ago.
Thanks to that, we waged a war with the bears for nearly a year.
Attempted sabotage not too long ago.
The young hydra was a guy who knew how to benefit from her without losing money.
“Looking at it this way, turning into a zombie isn’t bad.”
Hydra is approaching. It was like a dump truck rushing at her with her huge body. But this was just one of many things I’ve experienced on this island. I stepped on the back of a pillar that started to lean like the Leaning Tower of Pisa and looked down at the hydra that was starting to get closer.
Nine pairs of eyes stare at me standing on top of a collapsing pillar. It didn’t seem to pay attention to the pillars. As if, like a zombie, all I had to do was kill me, the nine heads rushed at me with reckless hatred.
As the hydra’s head got noticeably closer, I kicked off the steeply leaning pillar and jumped down.
A wild wind blows over her head just barely.
Did the head pass?
In my slanted vision, I saw a heavy pillar of rock crushing one of the hydra’s heads. The horns forged on her head pierced her neck just behind her head.
The gambler succeeded. Even a monster like that wouldn’t be able to move right away with its throat pierced.
Landing on the back of the hydra, I glide along the smooth back like surfing. I was able to step on the floor safely because I was a reptile with slippery skin. That doesn’t mean it’s safe.
As soon as I landed on the floor, I immediately rolled over like an action game character to the sound of the air above my head. The ground cries. The poison in the puddle flew like an explosion and stuck to my armor. I reflexively covered my face. At a glance, the armor was half flimsy. At this rate, what is called hide is a situation where the body will melt.
I ran to a nearby tree, ripped off the bark, and immediately used the skill.
“Repair.”
The bark of the tree I was holding stuck to my body. The shape has become very rough, but there is no time to care about that. Trees deprived of their protective shield melted into poison in an instant and collapsed. I looked away from the fallen tree and looked back at the hydra.
The hydra, which I could see through my slightly jagged field of vision, was trying to turn around with its head turned towards me. However, due to the stone pillar, he was unable to turn his body. But it can’t last that long.
Raise your eyesight and look up. It was seen that the pillar had pierced the neck bone of the head in the middle. Wouldn’t that be enough to get his whole head ripped off while struggling?
In the end, it was a very short time.
Should I run away?
Since it’s a zombie, it should be easy to end it if Carina comes. She doesn’t have to fight.
I turned and ran through the woods. I hear the roar of a snake behind my back. Does he still retain some intelligence even after becoming a zombie? If you think about it, the speed of blood circulating in snakes is so slow that zombieization may have progressed comparatively less. Even so, proper thinking already seemed impossible.
“It looks like the chase is over, but when will the two of them come…”
Return to the green area and look in the direction of the house. Of course, I couldn’t see the house, but I couldn’t help but think of it now that I was out of danger.
After all, it’s dangerous outside the house.
After this job is over, you’ll have to lock yourself in the corner of the house for a few days. It’s an uninhabited island where you have to live busy, but sometimes you need time to heal.
…After all, if you catch that snake, there will be only dungeons left.
“…Even though he became a zombie, his voice is booming.”
I plugged my ears at the hydra’s behavior causing creepy noise pollution, in case someone wasn’t a zombie. Only after this, I can’t hide anywhere comfortably.
…But the sound seems a bit close?
I think I heard it from right behind-
At that time, my survival instinct, which had been forcibly honed for 10 years, sounded the alarm.
I immediately turned and looked at the road I had run from.
“This crazy.”
A purple water gun is flying.
I rolled my body to the side to avoid the breath pouring towards me. A hot wind blew through my body.
Rising up, I clicked my tongue as I looked at the marks made by the purple water gun that passed by.
The place where the poison passed was all melted.
If I had been hit, I would have died.
“It’s the first time I’ve lived and lived like this…”
A pair of eyes stare at me.
Yes. It is a pair.
A head torn off by a f*cking pole is coming to catch me by itself, what kind of crazy situation is this?
No matter how many snakes are in the head and stuffed together, this is beyond the line. You crossed the line!
How the hell does it work?
If your hair is cut off, look it up! I gave it the name Hydra, just to name it roughly, but what a really disgusting regenerative power.
Isn’t this too much?
…Hu, this is not the time to get excited.
Take a deep breath. One two. One two…
I calmed down and glared at the snake, which had significantly slowed down compared to before. There is still some distance. About 30 meters.
Looking over, the main body doesn’t seem to be able to find me.
From noble mtl dot com.
I gritted my teeth and muttered as always.
“…Well, at least one head is worth it.”
What can you do about a severed head!
“You’re scary because you have 9 heads. One is enough to f*ck you bastard!”
I fixed the shovel.
