Those who reincarnate must die.

After a long and arduous journey, Zhang Lang finally arrived at the location of the fourth-level lord, as marked by the old man. (Google search reading)

From the ground, it appears as a bottomless pit hidden in the woods, about three meters in diameter, pitch black and deep. You wouldn't even notice it if you looked at a map or observed from high above.

Zhang Lang jumped in and landed steadily after falling several dozen meters.

The opening above could only let in a dim light, unable to illuminate the way ahead. Relying on his extraordinary eyesight, Zhang Lang saw that he was in a vast, empty underground space.

The ground beneath his feet was sloping, getting deeper as he went forward. After walking more than a hundred meters, Zhang Lang saw an underground pool with a surface as calm as a mirror.

This is it...

Zhang Lang put down the box of gold coins, used his divine weapon hand to pick up a huge rock from the ground, and threw it far into the pond!

Pfft!

The boulder stirred up waves, creating ripples on the calm water...

A moment later, a shadow appeared on the water's surface, and soon, a head with a slightly swollen red top emerged, its golden eyes fixed on Zhang Lang on the shore, as if to say, "Was it you who threw that stone?"

This is a snake's head covered in scales, about the size of a water tank, and roughly triangular in shape, indicating that it is a venomous snake!

This is the Lord? Putting aside its toxicity, just looking at the size of its head and neck, it's far smaller than a Mud Dragon, and its carapace doesn't seem that hard and thick. The title of Lord seems a bit undeserved...

However, Zhang Lang did not rush to attack. He drew his Champion Sword and pointed it at the giant snake head.

Upon seeing the sword tip, the snake's head recoiled slightly, then flicked its tongue, hissing threateningly, before slowly rising, revealing its increasingly thick neck, and... other heads!

Indeed, in addition to this head, the second, third, and fourth snake heads also surfaced one after another. Finally, when the complete giant snake appeared in front of Zhang Lang, it was a colossal beast resembling a peacock spreading its tail!

Hydra! This is the ultimate lord of the fourth level.

Clearly, the giant hydra had no good impression of this intruder who had disturbed its peace, and immediately split off one of its heads to bite Zhang Lang after it appeared.

Upon seeing the enormous head, as big as a water vat, opening its mouth to reveal two sharp fangs that were about to bite, Zhang Lang remained calm. He slid to the side to dodge, and with a clang, slashed down with his Champion Sword, severing the neck. The massive head fell to the ground and rolled down the slope back into the pond!

Zhang Lang examined the Champion's Blade in his hand. The sharp blade was visibly damaged. This was a rare weapon with durability attributes, yet it had chipped after just one strike! If it weren't for Zhang Lang's incredible wrist strength, even breaking through the monster's scales with that single blow would have been difficult…

Looking at the nine-headed water snake again, the severed neck began to writhe wildly, instantly regenerating bones and muscles. Judging by the speed of its regeneration, it was no less impressive than Zhang Lang's...

No, what happened next left even Zhang Lang somewhat in awe...

Instead of one cervical vertebra, two vertebrae grew from the broken end, and then a huge skull grew from the end of each vertebra, which was quickly covered with muscles and skin...

After one head was severed, two more grew back!

"Just like the bounty poster said..." Zhang Lang sighed, sheathed the Champion's Sword, and let it repair itself. Then he shook his hands, which were wielded by divine weapons.

At this moment, Hydra launched another attack, this time with all three heads attacking simultaneously!

Zhang Lang brandished his pair of divine weapons, swiftly severing two of them, and at the last moment, he raised his Vajra Leg and kicked them to pieces!

The one that was kicked to pieces by the Vajra Leg wearing shoes immediately began to regenerate, but the wound severed by the Divine Weapon Hand did not react!

Clearly, returning to simplicity can break this regenerative ability... Of course, based on Zhang Lang's previous experience, it may not be permanently broken... Especially for living creatures, the regenerative ability should recover over time!

That should be enough for a while!

Zhang Lang snorted coldly, leaped high into the air, and activated Void Moon Step. It was as if a razor had swept across the body of the Hydra. With two swishes, the two snake heads flew off!

Just as he was about to fall into the water, he flipped in mid-air, jumped up again, drew a sharp angle and turned back, and with a wave of his divine weapon, another snake head fell!

And so, Zhang Lang, like a pinball, bounced back and forth above the empty underground lake, drawing zigzag lines. After the ninth jump, he had just cut off ten snake heads, leaving only one!

Facing this one, Zhang Lang drew his Tiger Roar sword, aimed it at his brow, and launched a critical strike!

boom!

Scales exploded, blood and flesh splattered, revealing the white bones beneath! Then, four more shots rang out. Without the cushioning of flesh, fine cracks appeared in the skull and eye sockets, and Zhang Lang, who was in mid-air, was sent flying backward by the enormous recoil!

With his right hand, he roared and thrust back, while with his left hand, he unleashed the Heavenly Punishment at the last remaining snake head!

Bang! The already cracked skull exploded instantly, the entire upper jaw was blown off, and the brain inside could not be spared either. This last part of the head was also blown away!

The hydra's life finally ended, transforming into two attribute points that flew into Zhang Lang's body.

Not to mention its enormous body and hard scales, its regenerative ability and the ability to take more and more heads are enough to give an ordinary reincarnator a hard time.

According to the bounty poster, this nine-headed water serpent has regenerative abilities throughout its body. To kill it, you either need a way to instantly blast the entire serpent into non-regenerative fragments, or you need to destroy all of its heads at the same time... This may not be the most powerful monster, but it is definitely the most difficult monster to kill!

Zhang Lang dragged the enormous corpse ashore, cut open the snake's belly according to the method described in the bounty poster, and dug out a snake gall the size of a basketball!

This is the bounty material for Hydra. According to the description, although removing or destroying this thing is not fatal, it is the source of the monster's venom and the only organ on its body that cannot regenerate. Therefore, the authorities use the snake gall as the only evidence of a kill.

Holding the snake gall, Zhang Lang suddenly had an idea: if he didn't kill the water snake, but only dug this thing up and took it back, could he exchange it for a reward?

"It should be possible!" Xu explained, "But only you have that kind of ability. If an ordinary person could extract the gallbladder from a live snake, wouldn't they have no trouble killing it? The simplest method is to use high temperature to burn the wound, which can effectively slow down its regeneration. As long as your strength far surpasses itss, you'll always find a solution!"

After Hydra died, a huge portal slowly rose from the bottom of the water, and a path emerged from the entrance, which could be stepped on to get closer.

Needless to say, Zhang Lang naturally chose to continue to the next floor. After opening the door, he saw the scene on the other side...
