Bloody sword energy overflowed.
Phantom Sword and Dimensional Slash were used frequently as if they had no consumption, and Yang Tao's figure had long since turned into afterimages, constantly moving and maneuvering within the tower's space.
20 meters…
The Hydra's enormous head truly appeared instantly in front of Yang Tao, as if it had been there all along. Looking at its gaping maw, Yang Tao even felt a bloody smell.
21 meters.
Looking at the Hydra's head, which was within arm's reach, Yang Tao's face showed a brilliant smile.
The Yamato in his hand swung out quickly.
Puff, puff…
The Drawing Sword's scoring system was triggered, and the Yamato's damage surged.
The bloody sword energy directly exploded this Hydra head. Accompanied by a rumbling explosion, the original head disappeared, but two new heads grew from its body.
"Cut off one, grow two, huh…"
Yang Tao forcefully threw an ender pearl. As his body vanished from its original spot, over a dozen fireballs, each more than a meter in diameter, smashed into the place where he had just stood.
He had to dodge this thing.
It wasn't just simple flame damage; it would explode.
Most importantly, the Hydra's shots were inaccurate. They could be parried if they hit the Battlesign or the Yamato, but they would explode directly if they hit the ground.
This was very annoying.
20 meters…
As soon as he entered this position, the mindless Hydra instantly reappeared in front of Yang Tao.
The Yamato, whose score had already reached S, could now unleash its full damage. He took a slight step back and lightly struck the Hydra's new head.
'As expected, it still needs to be a Inch stop to work.'
Last time, he was purely careless, carelessly walking into the Hydra's bite skill's trigger range and being instantly killed by that incredible explosive damage.
Once you gain experience with some things, they become faster and faster.
As the number of Hydra heads increased, its attack frequency also became faster and faster, and the sky-filled rain of fire showed no signs of stopping.
Dense fireballs came one after another. Yang Tao had no chance to stop his footsteps and could only constantly move around.
He forcefully threw a bright red Cherry Bomb.
An explosion sounded, and Yang Tao charged directly towards the Hydra, simultaneously swinging the Yamato in his hand. Just as he expected, a Hydra head appeared under the Yamato.
Puff…
The Hydra's body froze in place.
Accompanied by bursts of white smoke, the Hydra's enormous body dissipated within the high tower, and a treasure chest appeared in the middle of the high tower.
"Very good!"
The Blue Knight, who had been watching the entire time, walked out from the entrance. His gaze lingered for a moment at the spot where the Hydra had disappeared, then he walked over to Yang Tao's side.
"Your speed and strength are good, but you still lack practical combat experience. You use the rules, but you are also bound by the rules…"
"This monster is bound by the rules. If it could move freely, you would undoubtedly lose…"
Upon hearing the Blue Knight's words, Yang Tao said helplessly, "If I had over 9,000 health, if I let it touch me even once, then I'd lose…"
For him, health was strength.
Moreover, datafied enemies were completely unreasonable. Even if he wore down one hundred million health to one drop, his actual combat power was no different from being at full health.
"Is there any quick way to improve my strength?"
The Blue Knight gently shook his head, his armor clanking with a rubbing sound as he said, "There are no shortcuts, only combat… Take every battle seriously."
Yang Tao nodded lightly and made up his mind. When he had time, he would challenge strong opponents without relying on datafication. Cheaters were certainly formidable, but diligent people were even more formidable.
Because then he could righteously say, 'All of this was achieved through my own hard work!'
Then he would fiercely input 'gamemode 1'.
"Let me see what the spoils of war are…"
He walked to the chest in the middle and opened it.
[Hydra Steak] × 825
[Blazing Blood] × 250
[Life Crystal] × 2
[Charm of Life] × 64
…
There were also some miscellaneous items, but they were all basic supplies.
"825 pieces of Hydra Steak? Did they roast the entire Hydra??"
He took out all the life crystals from the chest and used them. His maximum health increased by another 40 points. He put everything else from the chest into his backpack.
He took out a piece of [Hydra Steak] and handed it to the Blue Knight beside him, smiling, "Try the taste, this is a Hydra specialty!"
The Blue Knight was not polite either, reaching out to take the light-colored 'snake meat' from Yang Tao's hand.
"Is this the meat of that monster just now?"
"That's right."
Yang Tao also took out a piece for himself to replenish the hunger he had just consumed, then took out some [Charm of Life] and handed them to the Blue Knight: "Put these into your armor. These things should be useful to you."
The Charm of Life could be said to be the Totem of Undying in the Twilight Forest. It looked like a pink heart sticker.
When a death event occurs to the user, this item will attempt to cancel the death event, consuming one charm with each successful effect, and generating a red charm effect above the user's head that follows the player's movement.
Even if the user is killed by /kill and void damage, the Charm of Life will still be consumed and take effect.
However, its quantity was relatively small. Generally, it could only be found in treasure chests in various buildings in the Twilight Forest world, and the quantity was very rare. Not all treasure chests had them.
The Blue Knight 'ate' the steak and looked at the [Charm of Life] Yang Tao handed him, asking somewhat confusedly, "What is this? It looks quite pretty."
Pretty?
Yang Tao subconsciously imagined the Blue Knight's armor as a pink paint job and suddenly felt that if there were a Pink Knight, it would be very humorous.
"This thing can grant immunity to some deaths."
"Of course, it cannot directly restore you to your peak state; at most, it just keeps you alive."
The [Charm of Life] could restore eight health points and grant a health regeneration effect, but for the Blue Knight's 230,000 maximum health, 8 health points could only be said to keep him alive.
But it was stronger than the original Totem of Undying, only harder to acquire than the Totem of Undying.
After organizing the rewards in the chest, Yang Tao and the other person once again walked to the upper level of the high tower.
The moment they stepped into the upper level, dense monsters appeared in front of them.
Swarms of Skeleton Druids.
Skeleton Druids generally only spawned in the Dark Forest and areas with their spawners, usually near Druid Huts.
They were like Skeleton Archers wearing green rags, but they held golden hoes instead of bows.
Seeing these expendable Skeleton Druids, Yang Tao smiled and said to the Blue Knight, "Wait for me, I'll go clear them out first!"
With that, he carried the Yamato and walked into this level. The Skeleton Druids launched countless green grass seeds.
This was the Skeleton Druids' ranged attack method.
In addition to causing a small amount of damage, it could also poison people.
However, in front of Yang Tao's 'five-speed electric fan,' everything was meaningless.
