53 Blackie

"Bwahahaha, Bow to me you plebeians, I am the Supreme Demon God, bow to me Bwahahahaha."

"Someone anyone please save us, deliver us from this evil."

"Save you!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hahaha there is no one who can save you all your heroes and Gods have either submitted themselves to me or are dead. Bwahahahaha."

Suddenly a loud thunder strikes the area where the so called Supreme Demon God was standing.

A loud roar was heard as the cloud parted, a wickedly dangerously terrifyingly awesome looking 9 headed Hydra descended from the heavens, on its back was our hero he raised his hands as...

A hand appeared and pinched his cheeks hard, "Long Yu stop day dreaming."

Long Yu woke up from his dazed state as he was brought back to a dreadful reality, he was still stuck in the marshes sitting on Han's shoulder, and he does not have any pet which has 9 heads.

Jessie: "Have you awoke from your day dream, Long Yu?", she said with a teasing sing song voice.

Long Yu coughed lightly as a he blushed before trying to salvage any dignity he had left, "I was not day dreaming, I was thinking of a very high level strategy."

Jack: "Sure whatever floats you boat kid, whatever floats.", Long Yu pouted at that.

Bashista: "As much as it is funny to see the comedy routine you goes should quiet down, try not to draw their attention on us."

The Shadow Wolves, watched with rapt attention, as the 'Purple Heart Shaped Pear', matured and was ready to be plucked. Soon the new team made their move, a person dashed towards it as he was flanked by his friends on both sides , their strategy was simple the person would grab it then pass it to someone else, they would confuse the beasts as they would scatter in different directions and then they would meet up at the teleportation tower where the barrier would prevent the beasts entry. A simple yet effective strategy but they over estimated themselves, as these so called young masters had only hunted mostly under controlled environment, most were grown as if inside a greenhouse, but reality was harsh and hit the first person in the form of a 2nd rank Wanxiang Adept Stone Crocodile, which paralyzed the person long enough to eat him, thus effectively breaking the formation.

"It is only a 'Stone Crocodile', there is nothing to fear as long as one does not look into its eyes, we can kill it.", the people looked at the crocodile with bloodlust as they prepared to kill the nuisance in front of them and claim the ultimate prize, but alas their luck would not be with them they were ambushed by a 'three eyed anaconda', a fifty foot long anaconda tore throw the formation as it ate a couple in his ambushed and injured quite a few of them before it glared at the 'Stone Crocodile', both of them were of the same rank whereas the ants surrounding them were only, Zifu Disciple, so it lunged towards the Crocodile trying to get a grip on it, the thirty foot long beast in an incredible show of agility dodged, before it opened its jaws wide and bit the snake. They rampaged through the group of humans and a few unlucky who got caught in between were crushed like the bug.

The haughty lady was a little further away from them, she cast a glance at her supposed teammates, she was never in favor of this plan but unfortunately someone with high and mighty attitude decided to be the big boss as he led these idiots to their doom.

The unknown lady, "Let us go while these brute try to figure out who has the bigger stick and have their attention elsewhere, we will go and steal the fruit and make a run.", she said to the two females who were waiting by her side.

The slowly and quietly made their way towards the fruit while the three way battle raged on. As they neared the fruit the almost had a heart attack as they saw a serpentine looking face feasting on the fruit without any care of the world, where similar looking heads kept an eye on the battle before it with what seemed to be casual amusement. A head carelessly glanced at those women with a bored glance. At first the haughty woman was angry at the beast, before she noticed the other six similar looking heads, and soon it dawned to her she was standing in front of a 6 headed Hydra. With a great show of leadership she commanded the two women along with her, "RUN FOR YOUR LIVES, RUN DO NOT LOOK BACK JUST RUN!!!!!". They ran like madmen as fast as they could while the Hydra watched them with hidden amusement as it pondered should it chase them or not, suddenly one of its head turned towards a particular direction as its eyes narrowed, before his complete attention was brought towards the battle taking place only to have his anger focused on the two other beasts and those other foolish humans, their attention brought to this direction by the shout of those fleeing humans and those bugs just send murderous glare towards him and he did not like that.

The Crocodile and the Snake double teamed on the Hydra, who just dodged and bit them and both the beast gave a loud shriek as they foamed in the mouth and fell dead, the humans who were charging up at him stopped as they looked at him with fear until one of the smarter ones recognized the beats as he stammered out, "I-i—it is a H-h—hy-hydra!!!!!!!!!!!".

The arrogant looking man who had been leading those people just snorted, "tch if you are scared a t such lowly beast give up being a cultivator, a puny beast lik...", he did not get to finish as a glob of poison doused him and with speed visible to naked eye he melted in front of them. The men gulped before they ran while the Hydra gave them a chase.

Meanwhile Long Yu was looking at the Hydra with star struck eyes, he wants it no he needs it, he will have to convince the hydra to be his pet somehow only fools will let some awesome creature leave without making him their pet.

So he began to cheer his future pet, "Go Go Blackie Blackie Go Go, show thwm who is the boss."

The team Shadow Wolves was startled before Tina asked him, "Yu who is this Blackie you are cheering."

Long Yu with a smile on his face spoke out, "Why of course the 6 headed hydra , he is going to be my pet then all the adventure we would have , kukukuku.", he finished speaking while rubbing his hands like some clichéd villain in some children story book.

They inched away from the Long Yu, who according to them has gone off to some deep ends, while Han was cursing his bad luck as he was stuck with child with issues.

Bashista turned towards the creature only to see it staring directly at him, it knew where they were. He bellowed out, "RUN!!!!! It found us run towards the teleportation tower."

His teammates quickly turned on their heels and made a mad dash with Long Yu trying to protest against retreat, which was immediately put to stop as Han quickly put a hand on his mouth to stop him screaming and carried him under his arms.

They ran without looking back and any unfortunate fool who came in front of them was trampled by their charge. As they made a mad dash they suddenly felt a humongous aura belonging to a rank 6th Wanxiang Adept coming after them as every creature of the marsh was trying to steer clear from the creature's path. Soon they came in sight with the teleportation tower as they dashed in followed by a trio of women who ran so fast as it looked liked as if they flew in.

Ruth: "Safe finally safety.", as the team wheezed while trying to catch their breath.

Long Yu: "Why Han why did you take me away from cute little Blackie.", Han was about to answer when they heard a loud snapping of trees they turned towards the direction where the sound came only to see two injured people trying desperately to run from the beast chasing them, the one who was slower was swallowed whole by it, as the beast revealed itself from the shadows to be the Hydra they were fleeing from, it spat poison at the other one who was closest to the tower. The poor injured man was within a few feet from the tower a smile bloomed in his face he was safe, but soon the poison hit him and before he could react he was melted by the toxicity of the poison his still smoking and sizzling skull rolled inside the safety of the tower. Long Yu was horrified for a fraction of a second before the array worked its magic, and he chirped up at the Hydra, "Blackie~". All but Veronica who was just behind him holding tightly alongside Han preventing him from running towards the beast noticed clearly saw the array as his hood was down, but before anyone could react Bashista activated the teleportation circle and everyone was teleported far from the place.

The Hydra looked towards the place from where the small human child vanished, the kid was different than the rest it did not fear him but also it did not understand why his blood was compelling to lower his head towards the kid. It shook its head before pondering as he looked at the tower, if he stayed around its vicinity maybe he could get to eat all those tasty humans again, a fanged grin came to its snout as it laid wait for some unsuspecting victim.

Meanwhile back in Ayindril,

Everyone was laughing at seeing Long Yu's reactions.

Veena managed to somehow speak between her laughter, "The kid is hilarious he even gave a name to the Hydra, hahahaha, I never had so much laugh in a very long time."

Celestia: "So true sister, Ryuu is hilarious, but it also seems the apple does not fall far from the tree, isn't that right sister Xiao Xiao.", she teased Xiao Xiao.

Xiao Xiao blushed as she had one day under the influence of alcohol had blurted out some of her embarrassing moments during her adventuring days to her newest sisters, and it seems her child has somehow unknowingly trying to outdo her.

Antariskh: "What do you mean mother?"

Nuwa: "Now now daughter, that is a secret you may not know, but don't you have a hunter party to greet."

Antariskh:" I know, I know but I do not want to miss my baby brother's adventure", she replied with a sad frown.

Veena: "Then you should hurry and finish your job, you all are already very late now run along and finish it fast."

Antariskh nodded as she left with her sisters to collect the Void beast's cadaver, which she had ordered a few of her subordinates to hunt as their punishment and she was running a few days late in collecting the corpse.

Far away a light shown as six individual appeared inside a large room, where they dog piled on top of each other. They stood up before glaring at each other as two of them pointed at each other glaring while shouting out, "YOU!!!!!!!!!"
