Chapter 278: Swamp Hydras Evolution Path

The battle between Locke and Hathaway had finally come to an end.

Youre so bad. Im still injured. Dont you know how to be more gentle?

Hathaway lay in Lockes arms, pressing her chin against his chest.

Forget it. Who was the one who insisted on fighting me for 300 rounds? My old waist was almost broken by you.

Locke looked aggrieved.

Although the strength of the old man was not worth mentioning, it was the first time that the Swamp Hydra fought on its own.

As its master, even if it did not go over to help, it should be there to hold the line.

If it encountered danger, it could also make up for it in time.

At the very least, he should not be fighting with Hathaway here until the Swamp Hydra was finished.

Dont you dare say it.

Hathaway quickly covered Lockes mouth and giggled.

Although the two of them had often fought before, it was the first time that they had gone into hiding like this.

She was a little excited when she thought about it.

After the Swamp Hydra swallowed the Twin-headed Chimera, it unsurprisingly learned the Liquid Flame skill.

Liquid Flame was a variant of fire magic.

The fire element was mixed with the earth element and part of the water element to form a substance that was similar to a strong glue.

Once it stuck to the body, it could not be extinguished.

Even if one had touched it a little, it would burn through the bones.

The Twin-headed Chimera only had s.p.a.ce and fire element on the surface. Being able to master the Liquid Flame skill meant that it had good talent in earth and water magic.

Unfortunately, it fell into the hands of the old man and its talent was buried.

Locke habitually glanced at the hidden evolutionary path of the Twin-headed Chimera.

If this Battle Beast had met him when it was young, it would have definitely shone brilliantly.

What a pity!

As for the dead nameless old man, in Lockes eyes, he was just a fool who had wasted a top-grade Battle Beast.

His death was not worth regretting.

The guards of the castellans residence were originally trapped in the swamp

Locke had not intended to kill all of them. The swamp had only swallowed the area to his chest before it stopped.

He did not expect to die in the end under the old mans Firestorm.

There was nothing worth cleaning on the battlefield. Other than the traces of the Netherworld Swamp and Firestorm, there was only black ash left.

Locke waved his hand, summoning a gust of wind to blow away the dust on the ground.

The original marble floor resurfaced.

As a fine drizzle fell, it quickly returned to its original appearance.

Aside from a few large holes in the tavern, there were no traces of battle left behind.

Young master, youve caused a great disaster. Hurry up and leave before its too late.

This is your tier-5 magic crystal. Keep it for the road!

I have to leave as well. I cant stay in Cloud City anymore. Sigh!

The owner of the tavern ran out of nowhere and took out a tier-5 magic crystal to return to Locke. He looked at the tavern that had been running for many years reluctantly.

Ill handle the trouble that Ive caused myself.

Dont worry, it wont implicate you.

Since Ive given it to you, take it well. Find someone to repair the wall. It can still be used.

Locke looked at the tavern owner in surprise. He did not expect that this chubby fellow, who seemed to be afraid of death, had a good heart.

Foreigner, dont try to be brave. Ive seen many people like you. None of them will have a good ending.

Do you know how City Lord Reids Battle Beast, the Raging Inferno Lion, came about?

The hotel owner tiptoed to Lockes ear and said in a low voice, Three years ago, a youth like you came here. His Battle Beast was the Raging Inferno Lion.

Later, the youth offended young master Morgan and died in the mouth of his Battle Beast.

A few days later, City Lord Reid announced that he had changed his Battle Beast.

The Raging Inferno Lion is a rare light-type Battle Beast. Its combat strength is very good, but its still a lot weaker than your Holy Light Dragon.

Think about it, if you bring the Holy Light Dragon into the city so openly, will there be good consequences for helping you?

Originally, I didnt want to care about your life and death.

But Morgan, that b*stard, harmed my daughter. My poor daughter was only 11 years old at that time. G.o.d d*mn b*stard, he, he

The tavern owner wiped his tears and left quickly.

I stayed here to take revenge. Ive already heard that you destroyed Morgans lower body, so youve avenged me. I came to inform you and repay your kindness. You can do the rest yourself. Whether you die or not is your business. It has nothing to do with me.

Youre a man who can distinguish between kindness and hatred.

Looking at the tavern owner who left in a hurry, Locke flicked the tier 5 magic crystal.

Ill give it to you. You need money to live elsewhere.

Thanks!

The tavern owner was no longer polite. He caught the magic crystal without even turning his head.

What should we do now?

Cloud Citys city lord is a tier 5 expert. Im afraid we arent a match for him.

Hathaway also heard their conversation and walked over worriedly.

If not for the antidote, Locke would not have to suffer such grievances.

Also, he would not have to face a tier 5 expert.

Isnt he just a tier 5 Beastmaster? Dont be afraid.

We cant always face weaker opponents. Only stronger opponents can increase our strength.

I was wrong before. In the future, Ill become stronger as soon as possible.

The mountain city incident will never happen again.

Locke put his arm around Hathaways shoulder, his gaze firm.

Ever since he found out that the Twin-headed snakes hidden evolution path required it to continuously devour other battle beasts, and it even required a blood sacrifice, Locke subconsciously retreated.

After all, a blood sacrifice was too cruel.

Hence, the Twin-headed Swamp Hydra did not continue to advance for a long time.

When the mysterious old man had used Hathaway as a threat and planted a lethal poison, something deep in Lockes heart broke.

After killing the old man, the Swamp Hydra devoured the old man and the Twin-headed Chimeras corpses.

This was the beginning of the hidden evolution path.

This time, not only did it obtain Liquid Flame but its magic power also improved greatly.

With the Swamp Hydras devouring talent, as long as Locke was ruthless enough, its potential was unimaginable.

At the critical moment, if it devoured the Divine Light Dragon, the Swamp Hydra could also have dragon breath and light attributes.

The Divine Light Dragons Dragon Breath was a holy damage that ignored defense.

If the Swamp Hydra could have the Holy Dragon Breath and spit out nine heads consecutively, then a tier 5 city lord would be nothing.

The Divine Light Dragon had followed Locke for a long time and had established a deep relations.h.i.+p with him.

Therefore, Locke was reluctant to give it up.

This time, besides healing Hathaways injuries, he also wanted to find the next Battle Beast.

With the hidden evolutionary path, the trash in others eyes could be turned into magic in Lockes hands.

It was not difficult to raise a Battle Beast with Divine Breath.
