A titanic serpent burst out of the clearing, looking to be over twenty meters long…probably even thirty meters if I hadn't estimated wrongly. Multiple heads writhed, the end of their necks merging into a single tail.
A hydra. A commander-ranked spirit beast, it was an intimidating beast. Fortunately, it didn't have regenerating heads like the one in the Greek legend (I guess that would make it a monarch-ranked spirit beast). In any event, we didn't have the strength to fight against a spirit beast as powerful as the hydra. It was the equivalent of a peak Blackened Skies realm cultivator, if I wasn't mistaken.
"Run!" Fu Xi shouted. Out of all of us, he had the highest cultivation realm, but even he was only low Yellowed Lands realm at best, and he was no match for the hydra. The rest of us followed his lead, crashing through the forest and trying to flee the immense spirit beast on our trail.
