Dragon Clan: Thought So Far.

"I can see how surprised you all are. I think the unlucky guy in the ice cube is probably one of your old acquaintances." Rijirev held the hair tie she had taken off her wrist in her mouth, then used both hands to tie her long hair into a high ponytail. The cold wind blew through her hair and brushed her cheeks.

She pulled out a black bayonet from the weapon box beside her and waved it with one hand. At a certain moment, her posture resembled those fencing masters in international fencing competitions who were fully armed, wearing iron masks, murderous aura, elegant and quiet.

But then she threw away the bayonet and took down two crossed fire axes from the tower crane next to her. The axe blades had even been tempered, and the muzzle flame flashed a gorgeous purple-blue color.

"But we have more important things to do now, don't we? I've read in books that the largest existing snake in the world is the Senran, and they live in the Amazon jungle. Those ghost creatures should be about 10,000 kilometers away from here, but now they are attacking us in the icy sea at minus dozens of degrees Celsius as if their blood is burning."

The number of snakes attacking the Imer head-on is decreasing, and more heavy machine guns, operated by Yusuf's crew, are joining the ranks of the creators of the steel barrage.

After all, Hydra was just a monster contaminated by dragon blood, not something like the Yamata-no-Orochi which was comparable to a god even among pure-blooded dragons. Its long neck that was cut off by Rijireif's fire axe had no way to be restored. A huge amount of blood gushed out from the broken neck, and the remaining four heads retracted like springs, but the huge snake body was struggling in pain.

It was much longer than an ordinary giant snake, and when it raised its long neck from one side of the deck, it looked like a devil looking down from the abyss at the human world. Only half of the Hydra's body was on the deck, and the other half was still hanging on the side of the Imer ship by the friction of its scales. Its stunted and deformed limbs twisted randomly until the second head suddenly spurted out white frost from its mouth. The frost spread over the broken neck and immediately formed pink ice crystals that completely blocked the blood flow. The monster's twisting and struggling finally stopped.

Even the bullets from the heavy machine gun, the most powerful weapon they had at hand, could not cause effective damage to Hydra's scales. Yusuf was trying to restart the close-in weapon system that was cooling the barrel.

Two crew members drove a huge bulldozer and used the front end of the bulldozer to form an insurmountable line of defense in front of Nono. The other two crew members came behind the bulldozer carrying flamethrowers.

The first moment they saw Hydra boarding the ship, the horror enveloped everyone on the ship from the inside out, but Rigidrev's axe, like a god descending from heaven, not only cut off Hydra's long neck, but also shattered the crew's fear.

Fear has always been human's instinct when facing wild beasts. However, using knives and spears to pierce the hearts of lions and tigers when they are afraid has been the only way for humans to stay at the top of the food chain for tens of thousands of years.

More and more metal bullets joined the storm blowing towards Hydra. It was suppressed tightly. Dense sparks splashed on the hard and extremely tough scales. Yusuf was surprised that if the scales of this thing could be obtained by the Academy of Sciences, it would not take long for human material science to undergo earth-shaking changes. At the same time, he was shocked that the girl with silver-gray hair beside him was so beautiful that people dared not look up at her. She had such strong wrist strength that she could fly an axe and cause the greatest damage to Hydra so far.

"Too slow, tell your men to cease fire!" Reggie Leif said coldly, pulling off Yusuf's noise-canceling earplugs.

Yusuf hesitated for a moment before signaling the heavy machine guns and other guns that were aiming at Hydra to turn around and deal with the snake group in front first.

The pressure from the steel barrage suddenly decreased, and Hydra's four heads roared towards the sky. The roars were sharp and distant, like the sound of the tide echoing on the ice.

With its pathetic IQ and inadequate brain, it hadn't yet realized what would happen next. It only knew that the torrential blows on its body suddenly disappeared, and the steel and flames that suppressed it also disappeared.

The severed long neck was dead and drooping limply, and golden flames were burning in the pupils of the remaining four snake heads. It looked at the people on the deck with the eyes of looking at its prey, until its eyes met Constantine. A trace of vague fear was revealed on its hideous facial bones, which was actually human.

But Constantine didn't even pay more attention to this Hydra. When he calmed down and concentrated, he could smell more fishy smells coming from under the side of the ship, and hear the sound of dense scales scraping against metal, like herds of wild boars trampling on dead leaves in the winter forest.

Obviously, the monster approaching from behind the Imer was not just this one.

At this time, Regis Love was already walking forward slowly with two fire axes in her hands. She was wearing a slim silk nightgown under her white winter coat. The cold wind blew her skirt, like flowers blooming in the snow.

In front of Hydra's huge body that was like a sperm whale, Rigidreve was as small as an elk challenging an African elephant. After a moment, it finally noticed that the girl who had just dealt a heavy blow to it was gradually approaching.

Three of the four swaying figures were staring at Constantine, while the remaining one was looking down at the delicate and slender girl in the cold wind. The girl did not look very threatening, but the closer she got to him, the stronger the sense of danger that pricked his nerves became.

The distance between Rigidrev and Hydra grew closer and closer, and her footsteps became lighter and lighter, until finally she looked like Shuofang flying low over the deck.

The remaining four heads of Hydra finally focused all their attention on Rigidref at the same time. Those bloody mouths, which were as huge as rolling shutters when opened and had sharp teeth that could crush steel, gathered the reaction of some elements. Extremely cold white frost, golden thunder fragments, green thick acid mist and invisible but high-temperature airflow that made the surrounding air seem distorted, all overflowed from the gaps between Hydra's teeth.

According to legend, serpent dragons are the closest subspecies to dragons. Every time they grow a head, they gain a new spirit, until they finally gather the elements of the four great monarchs and become a true Hydra.

Now this giant snake has grown five heads, and it must have a very high status even among the Hydra clan.

When Rigidrev launched the charge, Hydra clearly retreated.

Just as humans will subconsciously dodge when faced with a sudden crisis, snakes will also make similar movements when faced with danger.

Although Regirev only launched the charge silently, without any elemental fluctuations on her body and without chanting any high-pitched and ancient words, Hydra knew very well that she was a more difficult opponent than the sperm whale.

But as the top predator on this ice field, Hydra is never a waste who sits and waits to die. Two of its four long necks that contract like springs suddenly pop out, and its speed is even faster than a bullet, setting off a roar similar to a sonic boom in the air.

The two hideous heads were like two sharp swords stabbed by a peerless swordsman, attacking Rigidrev from two different directions, one above and one below.

There shouldn't be any carbon-based creature in the world that can resist such an attack. Whether it's the turbulent and violent elemental turbulence or the kinetic energy that can pierce or overturn the truck in an instant, in theory, it should be able to turn Regislove into a blur of flesh and blood in a second. But Regislove suddenly jumped up, her skirt blooming, and the fire axe was swung with a sharp whistle, smashing down heavily on the two long necks stabbed by Hydra.

But she underestimated the instinct of the beast and ignored the cunning and treachery of the dragon subspecies. There was actually a third long neck hidden behind the two heads that stabbed in front. The head that followed closely behind had a bloody mouth and was approaching Rigidref who was falling like a small locomotive with tremendous force.

The girl's condition at the moment was extremely dangerous. She couldn't dodge in the air without a foothold.

But she actually flew out a fire axe, and chopped off a snake head below. The kinetic energy of the snake head, which had begun to show signs of dragonization, had not yet been reduced. After separating from the long neck, it continued to fly forward a distance of more than ten meters, hitting the iron guardrail on the edge of the deck and completely deforming it.

Facing the snake head that was charging at her like the front of a train, Regislove simply snorted coldly. She did not dodge. At a certain moment, a crackling sound of bones popping came from her slender body, and a dragon bone state similar to that used by Lu Mingfei and Yuan Zhisheng was activated in Regislove's body. The delicate girl's bones tightly bit and strangled the steel cable like a tower crane. Her free hand clenched into a fist, and there were actually hard bone protrusions on the joints of the fist.

Then the punch landed on Hydra's facial bones, which were harder than bronze, and shattered them. The huge kinetic energy was completely absorbed and returned by Rigidrev in an instant. The long neck trembled and flesh and blood fell apart, as if the cervical vertebrae were trying to break free from the constraints of the muscles to breathe fresh air.

Then another fire axe accurately fell on the other long neck that Hydra popped out. The axe blade cut through the scales, tore the flesh and blood, and embedded itself into the cervical vertebrae. Hydra struggled violently.

A light snow fell from the sky. The boiling blood gushing out from Hydra's wounds dyed the flying snow red. The air was filled with a disgusting fishy smell. Hydra, who had lost four heads in a row, finally showed fear, but at the same time its pupils turned scarlet, as if its reason was overwhelmed by madness.

Nono looked solemnly at Regislove, who was panting slightly after falling on the frozen deck. She had lost her shoes at some point, and her bare white and delicate feet were stepping on a snake head that was still open and trying to swallow something after being cut off.

After a moment, Rigidrev bent down, and her seemingly non-lethal fist easily smashed Hydra's hard skull, pulling out a sharp section of spine that was covered in blood and emitting hot steam from deep inside the skull.

Then Rigidrev slowly swung the fragment of the spine, reminiscent of an assassin charging at you with his dagger.

Hydra's headless long neck was waving in the air, reminding people of the giant octopus monster emerging from the deep sea in myths and legends. However, with the blessing of the dragon bone state, Rigidref showed physical fitness that even far exceeded Caesar and Chu Zihang. She smashed the snake's tail and long neck in mid-air with her fists, and broke in front of Hydra so forcefully.

She used her wrist, whose bones were tightly connected and whose hardness was even greater than that of fine steel, to block the long neck that was coming down again. She tore off a large piece of flesh and blood and threw it into the mouth of the last snake head, which had opened its bloody mouth and was about to release a certain word spirit. The sharp spine pierced out and pierced Hydra's abdomen from the front.

After doing all this, Rigidrev retreated like lightning, and a sour and smelly liquid spurted out from the giant snake's abdomen. Then a white phosphorus incendiary bomb was thrown accurately into the wound where the internal organs could be seen. Dense white smoke then spurted out from the gaps in the wound, all of which were white phosphorus powder.

The poison and flames devoured the monster's flesh and blood madly. After a moment, it burst into flames and turned into a living torch, dancing wildly and falling from the deck.

A few seconds later, a heavy roar was heard on the ice, but more roars came from the side of the deck.

Constantine took a step forward. "Leave it to me next." He said, "I think there's something wrong with the body in the ice. Maybe the facilities on the ship can help us figure out whether he is Professor Schneider or not."

The next moment, dozens of snakes more than ten meters long stretched out from the edge of the deck. Their thick snake bodies were like giant trees covered with scales, and their ferocious golden vertical pupils flashed with crazy light.

Nono gritted his teeth.

It turned out to be a whole group of three or even five-headed Hydras. No one knew when they bypassed the ice and came to the rear of the Imer.

"You are very strong." She looked at Ridgelife who was adjusting her skirt beside her.

"From the outside, I look no different from you. According to Vincent's theory, I don't believe that the Kingdom of God really exists in this world... There are at least ten people like me even on the icebreaker in the Far North. Why do you think I can be called a saint?" Rigirev sneered, "I am much stronger than other sisters. My blood can calm down the fallen hybrids on the verge of collapse. My great-grandmother Maria of the Star was polluted by that door, and I inherited that pollution... For many people, the only thing they want to get on that ship is the blood of God. I don't need the blood of God because that thing is flowing in my body. I am a pathetic Holy Grail. I was born to be free instead of imprisoned. I have seen the sky, the sea, the forest, and all kinds of handsome guys, but those things never belong to me. So I want to escape. Whoever doesn't let me leave is my enemy. Whoever is my enemy, I will chop him into pieces with an axe."

She spoke calmly, but her tone was extremely cold.

"The academy... they won't imprison me and draw blood for experiments, right?" she said quietly.

Nuonuo was stunned for a moment. She thought of what would happen to Lu Mingfei if he was captured, and suddenly she felt tired and a little scared.

"The academy will," she said, "but we won't, because I'm a desperate man struggling in the cracks of this world just like you." Nono put her forehead close to Regislove's forehead. Blood was still flowing on the hem of Regislove's skirt. Heat rose from her body, and the mist enveloped both girls.

"Miss Chen, there are people on that boat." Yusuf shouted.

Nono's head suddenly raised, she snatched the telescope from Yusuf's hand and looked at the Yamal which had become a ruin in the distance.

It was a man. He was standing on a relatively intact porthole, with the corpses of two giant snakes lying at his feet. He was wearing a tuxedo in this climate, with blond hair and very long forehead hair.

Although it was just a slightly blurry figure, Nuonuo recognized him.
"Percy..." she whispered. (End of this chapter)
