Soon Shasharu found a target for Otto, and the location was also near the territory of the lizardman clan.

This is a large and gloomy swamp, which may not be a good place for humans and most monsters.

But for the lizard people, this is undoubtedly a treasure land that can provide a lot of fish food.

Lizardmen like this environment very much, but even the bravest lizardmen warriors rarely enter here to hunt.

Because there are several hydra lizards living in this swamp, some people also like to call this terrifying monster Hydra.

Legend has it that the hydra was formed from the blood of the dragon god Lenairia who was killed by Tiamat, the mother of dragons. They are a very terrifying reptile monster.

They have the body of a crocodile and several snake-like heads with long necks. Even if their heads are cut off, they can still regenerate with the help of their natural magic. They are quite difficult opponents.

For the lizardman clan, it would be difficult to deal with even one such enemy, let alone the number of hydra lizards living in this swamp that is close to ten.

Cassiopeia, the Mother of Thorns, once tried to take advantage of these monsters, but in the end she had to give up.

This kind of monster does not understand any language, it only knows hunger and killing, and cannot be tamed at all. If you want to recruit them as your kinsmen, you have to spend a lot of money to cast wisdom on them, and the reward is completely out of proportion to the investment.

Originally, Shashalu didn't want to target this group of difficult monsters, but it happened that fire was the fatal weakness of such monsters.

Otto's flame breath was very powerful, so he tried to recommend it to Otto.

Otto is also very interested in this, because the hydra itself can provide a lot of meat, and Otto is also curious about what new abilities he can gain after devouring this monster he has never seen before.

Shashalu did not bring elite lizard warriors with him for this operation, but selected some smarter young men from the clan.

They are generally small in stature and are usually responsible for investigation work within the clan.

His ability in frontal combat is average, but his ability to save lives is truly top-notch.

Otto and a group of people entered the outskirts of the swamp. Although she was a little disgusted by the dirty environment in the swamp, Sophia still followed her with her nose covered.

In order to prevent the sewage from the swamp from getting on her body, she made a wooden saddle on an ogre.

After these days of training, the two ogres have become quite obedient. One is used as a mount for Sophia, and the other is a handyman.

Shasharu explained the mission requirements to his lizard-men cubs, and a dozen skinny lizard-men immediately dived into the pools of the swamp.

Most lizardmen can hold their breath for more than fifteen minutes and are quite good at surviving in swamps and jungles.

The task of these lizardmen is very simple, that is to lure the hydra lizards out of the swamp one by one.

The hydra is a ferocious giant monster. When it reaches adulthood, it is even the same size as an adult dragon. Although its combat effectiveness is much lower, even Otto will be in great trouble if he is beaten by a few of them.

Soon, a lizard man ran back with a hydra.

This lizard man controlled the speed of his running very cleverly, so as not to throw away the hydra lizard behind him, but at the same time making the opponent feel that there was hope of catching up with him.

With the hydra's sad intelligence, it couldn't notice any problems at all. It just thought that it would soon catch up with the moving piece of lizard-man meat pie in front of it.

Hydras are quite cruel creatures. They are greedy and can even target their own heads when there is no food.

Therefore, except when mating, multiple snake lizards rarely gather together, which also provides the possibility to trap and kill them separately.

This hydra has only three heads and is only about six meters in size. It seems that it is not yet fully mature, so it has to live on the periphery of the swamp, and is therefore the first prey to be attracted.

Even if a hydra loses one of its heads, it can quickly grow it back using its innate magic. This is the main reason why they are more difficult to deal with.

And it's very simple to defeat them, just cut off all the heads before they grow new ones.

It is precisely because of this factor that the more heads a hydra has, the more powerful it becomes and the more difficult it becomes to deal with.

But this was just a hydra with three heads, so before Otto could take action, Sophia was already chanting a spell quickly, and several wind blades flew towards the neck of the hydra with almost no gaps.

When the lizard man who was acting as a bait in front saw this, he immediately lay down on the ground and rolled around to avoid the wind blade's attack trajectory.

The three-headed basilisk's running pace suddenly stopped. In almost an instant, three of his heads had been cut off by the wind blade, leaving no time for it to regrow a new head.

The poor monster didn't even know what happened before he lost his life, and his body fell limply into the swamp.

Its body is edible, so of course it cannot be wasted. Several lizardmen are skillfully breaking it down so that it can be packed away.

Of the two ogres, one is responsible for serving as a mount for Sophia, and the other can act as a coolie at this time. He is like a tireless mule transporting the pieces of meat packaged by the lizard people to the edge of the swamp.

Here, there were lizardmen and wooden carts responsible for transportation. After handing over to each other, he ran back with clumsy steps, fearing that if he went too slow, Sophia would use the fireball spell to hit his face.

That really hurts!

When he returned to the swamp, another three-headed basilisk fell under Sophia's wind blade. This ogre's words alone were already too busy, so Shashalu recruited some elderly basilisks from the clan.

Or female lizardmen come to help carry it.

Of course, things will not always develop so smoothly. The next person attracted by the lizard man's bait was a multi-headed snake lizard with six heads.

The size of this monster has grown to eight meters long, and it is a very powerful and fierce character even among its kind.

The lizard man who acted as the bait had a deep bone-visible scar on his back, which was obviously left accidentally while luring the six-headed basilisk.

He tried his best to lead the six-headed basilisk back here, but in the end he collapsed from exhaustion.

Sophia released multiple wind blades in succession to attract the attention of the six-headed basilisk, but it did not have much effect.

The poor lizard man was eventually torn into pieces by the multiple heads of the six-headed basilisk and swallowed.

"hateful!"

Sophia angrily smashed her little hand on the ogre who was acting as a mount. Such force would only scratch the ogre's itch at most.
