The hydra egg vibrated more violently as the man curiously peered inside, as if the creature inside was in a frenzy.
A crack appeared on the surface of the snake eggshell, and the monster inside was about to crawl out. Tu Longjian also found the key method amidst his many thoughts!
The Heavenly Spiritual Root naturally possesses a suppressive attribute against dark, serpentine creatures, and a corner of the inherited methods records the secret technique for contracting with the Hydra.
However, this secret technique is too obscure and inconspicuous. In the original story, Gan Xiuming only discovered this secret technique by chance when he had become very powerful.
At that time, the Poison Peak Master was blind and rashly provoked this arrogant dragon. The result was naturally that he was humiliated, and at the same time, the hydra egg also fell into his hands.
After searching for rare and precious treasures for Hydra, Gan Xiuming successfully hatched it. Because of the early contract, Hydra was enslaved by him with resentment and became an indispensable part of his powerful fighting force.
Now that the butterfly effect has occurred, Tu Longjian is not only being hunted down by a powerful figure who is very likely from the Heavenly Dao, but he has also triggered the premature incubation of the Hydra.
If she hadn't been able to accurately grasp that fleeting secret technique information amidst the massive amount of data, she might have been bitten to death by the newly emerged Hydra!
Under the curious gaze of the pale-faced man, Tu Longjian took a handful of his heart's blood and poured it over the head of the little snake that was about to hatch.
The little snake was flicking its tongue, confidently and arrogantly reaching out, when suddenly its hot blood soaked it, leaving it disheveled and furious. It then spoke in a human voice, "How dare you! How dare you treat me like this!"
The creature, smelling the blood coming from the weakened female cultivator before it, said imperiously, "I told you, I stopped drinking blood a long time ago."
However, after licking the blood off its body, it found it somewhat delicious, so it took pity on it and said, "Little slave, I will offer you your heart and leave you with a whole body."
Tu Longjian ignored the Hydra's arrogant and evil demands, and instead muttered an obscure incantation in a low voice.
"The incantation awakens the spirit, the covenant binds the wilderness, the divine thought initiates the covenant, the snake's shadow conceals the pattern, the heavenly root serves as the guide, the nine heads obey the command, the blood covenant transforms into a lock, forever serving as subjects."
"Once the contract is made, life and death are of our own choosing."
As the last sentence fell, a blood-red light shone between Tu Longjian and the Hydra, signifying the completion of the contract.
The hydra froze, gritting its teeth, and said, "Insolence! How dare you, a mere Foundation Establishment ant, enslave me under a contract!"
A bloodthirsty thought flashed through his mind, and he shot towards Tu Longjian's vulnerable neck like lightning, his sharp fangs approaching her carotid artery, trying to tear off a piece of flesh.
The power of their unique contract shone brightly, violently repelling him.
No matter how domineering he once was, he is now just a small snake, weakly lying on the ground twitching after being struck by that overwhelming force.
Tu Longjian looked down at its convulsing body, stepped on the tip of its tail, and said coldly, "The contract is complete. You should have realized that when you were licking my blood."
"You!" The hydra's scales exploded, and the feeling of having its tail tip stepped on made it extremely dissatisfied. It was a mixture of shame and a tingling, electric shock-like sensation. This damned human cultivator actually knew an ancient secret technique!
It's because he's currently in a weakened state that he fell into the trap set by that wicked cultivator.
"I advise you to be careful with your words." Tu Longjian turned his head, his face pale from blood loss, which made his resolute eyes stand out even more.
What's your name?
The hydra angrily flicked its tail tip, but ultimately held back, its sinister beastly eyes fixed on her. "I am the Shadow of the Underworld."
"Do you know that you have made a pact with the Demon Lord!"
Tu Longjian, who was controlling the Qingfeng Hanshuang Formation, was somewhat surprised to hear this. Had she unknowingly abducted a Demon Lord?
Wait, the Demon Lord is great! Maybe he can help her kill that madman.
With a hint of anticipation, she asked absentmindedly, "Then, Demon Lord, can you kill that person inside?"
Because of the contract, Shadow can see the scene within the maze through the power of the contract.
He said with utter disdain, "That ant?"
"Don't order me around with such a simple request; it would be beneath my dignity."
However, no sooner had he finished speaking than the ant he was referring to, Yun Mo himself, darted out of the maze and grabbed its neck with one hand.
Feeling the cold hand on his neck, Mingying flew into a rage, only to find to her horror that she could not break free.
This person is unusual!
At that moment, Yun Mo's other hand tightly gripped Tu Longjian.
He raised his hand, and Tu Longjian's face turned red from being strangled. She struggled in the air, and no matter how hard she tried, Yun Mo was unharmed.
Completely exhausted, Tu Longjian could only primitively bite Yun Mo's tiger's mouth with his teeth, trying to make him let go.
Even though she bit off a piece of flesh from the hand of the death-like man in front of her, he didn't even flinch.
"It's useless, all in vain," Yun Mo said coldly, like the judgment of the Grim Reaper.
"By...why...?" Tu Longjian squeezed out a question from the thin air, his eyes filled with hatred.
"Just because you're an anomaly, you deserve to die." Yun Mo glanced sideways at her passing life, a hint of pity suddenly flashing across his face.
He suddenly let go, and Tu Longjian fell weakly to the ground, gasping for breath of fresh air.
Just because she's an anomaly, does that mean she deserves to die?
What about the original owner whose fortune was stolen? Should they also die?
Those who steal other people's precious lives are still living well in this world, so why is it that she is the one who dies?
Were they the ones who died?
She was just a soul from another world whose body had been destroyed and who had unfortunately wandered into this place. She was full of resentment but had no one to confide in, and she had managed to get to where she was today with only her courage.
She hadn't even properly questioned why Heaven had wronged her to this extent, yet Heaven had turned around and eliminated her as an anomaly.
How ridiculous that Heaven is so unjust!
"You...you'd better pray...that I die...today, or else...I will...repay...you a thousandfold!"
Seeing Yun Mo clutching his head, seemingly recalling something, looking extremely pained, Tu Longjian sat halfway down on the ground and snorted coldly.
As she spoke, a ball of light gathered in her hand, as if she were preparing to perish together with the person before her.
Has she gone mad?!
Mingying also fell to the ground. As soon as she raised her head, she saw Tu Longjian's dangerous actions and a look of surprise flashed in her eyes.
It wasn't his business at all; in the past, he might have even had the leisure to watch a self-destructing fireworks display.
However, now that Tu Longjian has formed a contract with him, if his master dies, he, as the contracted pet, will certainly not be able to survive either!
The hydra lunged at its master, and all nine of its ferocious heads snapped off in one go!
With only eight heads remaining, the Shadow of the Underworld, along with Tu Longjian, used the power of the severed heads to suddenly disappear from Yun Mo's sight.
