"You can't beat it, come back!" Qin Yan shouted towards Yuji. However, Yuji seemed not to hear him, holding the red spear and rushing to the Hydra's side, fiercely stabbing the spear into the Hydra's body.

The Hydra, which had been hesitating whether to continue attacking these people, was provoked by Yuji's attack. It couldn't help but target Yuji with its remaining four heads, seemingly wanting to launch an attack on her.

"Hu hu" sounds rang out, six fireballs appeared out of nowhere, flying towards the Hydra, hitting its remaining four heads. The Hydra, attacked by the fireballs, temporarily did not attack Yuji. Its heads turned in another direction, where Lin Shiqi stood about twenty meters away from the Hydra, continuously summoning fireballs to attack the Hydra.

"Shiqi, why did you come here too, didn't I tell you all to hide?" Qin Yan looked towards Lin Shiqi's direction, exclaiming in surprise.

"I had no choice, this crazy woman insisted on coming here, so I followed," Lin Shiqi said helplessly.

Because Lin Shiqi continuously summoned fireballs to attack the Hydra, the Hydra's attention was drawn to her. The Hydra's four heads targeted Lin Shiqi, seemingly wanting to attack her. Lin Shiqi felt the situation was not good and quickly flew away with the wind, with the Hydra immediately crawling after her, chasing her.

"Stop attacking it, or you'll be killed by this monster!" Qin Yan anxiously shouted at Lin Shiqi, knowing that with her strength, she was no match for the Hydra. If she was hit by the Hydra's attack, she would definitely be instantly killed by the Hydra.

"It's useless, it's too late to retreat now." A voice sounded beside him, and Qin Yan turned his head to see that Dream Butterfly had also come to his side at some point.

"Ah, why did you all come here too, it's really dangerous here!" Qin Yan felt a headache coming on, as Dream Butterfly, Lin Shiqi, and Yuji were not capable of dealing with the Hydra. A slight misstep would result in them being killed by the Hydra.

Dream Butterfly frowned deeply, her expression serious, "It's already too late to say these things now, we have no choice but to go all out."

"Alright... alright, then that's the only way," Qin Yan felt that things had developed to this point, they had no choice but to go all out. He said to Dream Butterfly, "Then Dream Butterfly, you assist me, help me predict the Hydra's actions. If the Hydra attacks you, you must escape immediately."

"I understand," Dream Butterfly nodded solemnly. Qin Yan, holding the large sword, flew towards the Hydra. Taking advantage of the Hydra chasing and attacking Lin Shiqi and not paying attention to him, Qin Yan swung his sword and slashed the Hydra's body, leaving a deep wound.

The Hydra, attacked by Qin Yan, immediately turned its four heads towards him, preparing to launch an attack.

Unauthorized duplication: this tale has been taken without consent. Report sightings.

Before the Hydra could attack Qin Yan, Qin Yan's mind was filled with visions of the Hydra attacking him. He quickly flew through the air, dodging the Hydra's attacks based on the visions in his mind.

The "hu hu" muffled sounds rang out as the Hydra's flames and venom flew past Qin Yan. The "shoo shoo" sounds rang out as two of the Hydra's heads swooped past Qin Yan, their biting attacks missing their mark. Qin Yan narrowly avoided the Hydra's attacks.

"It looks like it's working. With Dream Butterfly's help, its attacks can't hit me!" Qin Yan's confidence surged. He quickly flew around the Hydra, continuously swinging his large sword and slashing the Hydra's body.

At this moment, the Hydra was left with only four heads, a significant reduction in combat power compared to its initial nine heads. Its attacks could hardly hit Qin Yan, who instead continuously inflicted wounds on it with his great sword.

Simultaneously, Lin Shiqi and Yu Ji were also relentlessly attacking the Hydra. Having been severely injured in the previous battle, the ferocity of the Hydra had greatly diminished. Now facing the full-on assault from Qin Yan and his companions, it kept sustaining injuries, showing signs of cowardice. Eventually, it gave up fighting against Qin Yan and the others, turning its heads and crawling towards the direction of the riverbank.

“Don’t chase, let it go!” Qin Yan shouted, opting not to pursue the fleeing Hydra. Lin Shiqi and Yu Ji, not foolishly risking further danger, ceased their attacks and watched as the Hydra made its way to the riverbank, disappearing into the waters.

“We finally drove the Hydra away…” Qin Yan sighed in relief as he watched the direction in which the Hydra disappeared.

Qin Yan then looked around. Yu Ji ran to the side of the fallen Yi Tianchou, closely examining his condition. From her facial expression, it seemed Yi Tianchou was not dead. Qin Yan looked up to the sky, where the stone man, Zhen Jun, was engaged in a fierce battle with Gonggong amidst a barrage of ice spikes.

“Zhen Jun and that Gonggong are fighting so fiercely. It’s hard to tell who will win,” Lin Shiqi said thoughtfully, observing the intense fight between Zhen Jun and Gonggong in the sky.

In the sky, Zhen Jun, covered in stone armor, was flying rapidly, chasing Gonggong and slashing at him with a long spear. Gonggong flew away from Zhen Jun, controlling a large number of ice spikes to attack Zhen Jun, using them to prevent Zhen Jun from pursuing him.

Under the massive onslaught of ice spikes, it was extremely difficult for Zhen Jun to get close to Gonggong. He had to withstand the attacks of numerous ice spikes just to barely approach Gonggong and launch an attack. As a result, Zhen Jun sustained far more damage than Gonggong.

“It looks like Gonggong has the upper hand. We need to think of a way to help Zhen Jun,” Qin Yan said after observing the battle in the sky for a while.

“But how can we help? Gonggong can control so many ice blocks. As soon as we get close to him, we’ll be turned into sieves by those ice blocks and can’t get near him at all,” Lin Shiqi said.

Qin Yan thought for a moment and said, “Let’s do this. I see Zhen Jun won’t be defeated by Gonggong in the short term, so let’s not worry about him for now. First, help me charge this sword with energy. Shiqi, you help me too.”

“Okay,” Lin Shiqi agreed, using her magical abilities to gather elements from the air to summon fireballs and lightning balls, charging Qin Yan’s great sword with energy.

About six minutes later, Qin Yan’s great sword had stored some energy. At this moment, Qin Yan also thought of a way to deal with Gonggong.

“To break through those ice blocks, we need your help, Shiqi. It looks like we have to do this together,” Qin Yan said, extending his hand to Lin Shiqi.

“No problem, leave it to me,” Lin Shiqi, excited to be of help, quickly grabbed Qin Yan’s hand.

Qin Yan controlled the direction of gravity for himself and the great sword, taking Lin Shiqi and flying into the sky towards Gonggong.
