Law of the Swarm

Chapter 239 Tragic Hydra

The meeting with Hydra Diamius was not exactly the same as System imagined.

The thick black snake body is coiled on the branches of unknown plants, and nine snake necks of almost the same length are split from the top of the snake body.

Each snake neck has a snake head with a size of 1.5 meters and a slightly different shape.

Some snake heads are triangular, some are oval, some are big and flat, and some snake heads look very three-dimensional...

These snake heads stayed in different places peacefully, and they looked very harmonious from a distance.

In System's vision, Hydra might find him disliked and immediately attack him, just like humans swat flies and mosquitoes to death; they might be very interested in his existence and would be willing to communicate with him; It is also possible to choose to eat him directly as the food brought by Rex; of course, the greatest possibility is to ignore him, a weak creature, just like humans would not deliberately pay attention to ants on the side of the road.

But through the ability to perceive emotions through [Mind Teleportation], System discovered the abnormality under the peaceful appearance of the legendary creature Hydra.

One of Hydra's snake heads twisted its neck to look at him, and expressed doubts, as if wondering what he was.

As for the other eight snake heads, they didn't pay attention to him at all.

The unbelievable thing that System felt came from the other eight snakeheads who looked very normal from a distance.

Because the remaining eight snake heads, although expressionless and seemingly calm, are discussing something in a unique way of spiritual communication.

These eight snake heads have special spiritual communication abilities, so System cannot completely distinguish the emotional fluctuations.

However, System could still feel from the remaining eight smugglers the expectations, unwillingness, sorrow, contempt, sorrow, anger and other emotions among the several smugglers.

With years of experience in using [Spiritual Connection] and [Spiritual Network], System probably knew and guessed what the heads of Hydra were discussing.

System also deduced the truth that Hydra Diamius hadn't moved for nearly a hundred years.

A truth that looks very strange and makes people feel dumbfounded——

Several snake heads of Hydra Diamius are discussing how to move their bodies, and until now they have not decided on a result...

Nine heads, one body.

If it is just an ordinary mortal or magic rank, Hydra with a low IQ will easily act according to the instinct of the body, and there will be no such troubles.

But unfortunately, the hydra Diamius has now become a legendary creature with outstanding intelligence. Each snake head has a high level of wisdom, and there are several strange and stubborn snake heads among them.

So even now, how Hydra will act has not been discussed and determined.

Based on the emotions emanating from the snake's head, System made some inferences and roughly simulated the mental journey of Hydra's debate for many years...

……

Scenario [-]:

Boss: "Brothers, I think this body, let's take turns controlling it, how about a snake head controlling it for a day?"

Xiao Er: "It's fair."

Xiao Si: "I disagree, whoever is stronger will control the body."

Xiao Qi: "I agree with fourth brother, come on fourth brother, let's fight and see who is the strongest."

Xiao Liu: "Superficial! Whoever has the highest intelligence should control the body."

Little San: "I'm going to the water!"

Xiao Wu: "I want to go to heaven!"

Xiao Jiu: "Look for a female snake!"

Xiaoba: "..."

……

Scenario two:
Boss: "If you are strong or intelligent, you can control your body for a longer period of time. How about sharing the rest of the time equally?"

Xiao Er: "I don't agree, it's not fair."

Xiao Si: "Then I will occupy half of the snake's body time, and you can share the rest as you like."

Xiaoqi: "I have the other half of the snake's time, so you don't have to share it."

Xiao Liu: "Fourth brother, and Xiao Qi, have you two asked our opinion?"

Little San: "I'm going to the water!"

Xiao Wu: "I want to go to heaven!"

Xiao Jiu: "Look for the female snake!"

Xiaoba: "..."

……

Scenario three:
Xiao Yi: "Xiao Si and Xiao Qi, you should know that this body cannot be manipulated by being strong. If this continues, we will still be unable to act. We must formulate a set of rules."

Xiao Er: "I agree with what Big Brother said, we need to make a fair rule."

Xiao Si: "Whoever controls the power can make the rules."

Xiaoqi: "The rules should be made by me."

Xiao Liu: "Two idiots!"

Little San: "I'm going to the water!"

Xiao Wu: "I want to go to heaven!"

Xiao Jiu: "Look for the female snake!"

Xiaoba: "..."

……

System speculated that the original nine smugglers' dispute should be like this.

And then over time, whether they want to make the rules, want to get a fair result, respect power, or have the highest wisdom, they eventually fail.

They lost to a few strange creatures among the snakeheads, and finally came to a stalemate.

……

Scenario [-]:

Xiao Yi: "Xiao Wu, let's go to the water for a while, and then go to heaven, Xiao Jiu, how about going to the female snake after a while?"

Xiao Er: "It's fair."

Xiao Si: "Obviously our strength is so strong, why do we need a female snake? I disagree, we should find a female dragon!"

Xiaoqi: "It's free, as long as you can leave here."

Xiao Liu: "Brother, can you stop the ink stain?"

Little San: "Go to the water! Go to the water!"

Xiao Wu: "I want to go to heaven!"

Xiao Jiu: "Mother Snake! I want to get one now!"

Xiaoba: "..."

……

After System met Hydra, the way Hydra discussed was like this.

During the discussion, emotions such as expectation, unwillingness, lamentation, contempt, sadness, anger, etc. also permeated these smugglers.

Generally speaking, the legendary creature Hydra Diamius, although possessing great strength and good wisdom, is actually a tragic existence.

And it was precisely because of Hydra's extremely tragic experience that System found hope in selling the [Data Template].

If there is no accident, except for those strange snake heads, those snake heads with normal intelligence have a great chance to like the various functions in the [data template].

It is even possible to be obsessed with the game in [Data Template] like Lich and Skeleton Dragon.

……

System quickly acted, using [Spiritual Connection] towards the snake head who was closest to him and was watching him but hadn't made a sound, and then sent out a spiritual message.

"Your Excellency Diamius, I'm sorry to interrupt your discussion, please allow me to introduce, my name is System."

As System sent the spiritual message, the remaining eight snake heads seemed to be able to share the spiritual message sent by System. Except for a few strange snake heads, the rest of the snake heads turned around one after another, aiming at transmitting the spirit. System of the message.

"Interrupt our discussion? Do you know what we are discussing?" One of the smugglers sent a somewhat shocked spiritual message.

"Damn it! Don't let it spread!"

Accompanied by a spiritual message, System saw a gray-white light appear in the eyes of a snake head with a slightly sharp head.

[Shadow Avatar] produced an inexplicable change. After two breaths, System's [Shadow Avatar] became an immovable stone sculpture...
