What is that?

Su Ziyu felt a slight sensation as he arrived beside the volcanic lake and instantly turned to look at his side.

Six gigantic serpent heads suddenly emerged from the volcanic lake.

One after another.

In the blink of an eye, it devoured six small demons, and only then did its enormous serpent-like body reveal itself.

The creature's size was enormous, hidden beneath the water, its body was unclear, but just the visible gigantic heads were approximately one meter in diameter, its slender necks nearly ten meters long, with scales covering the body like a serpent, and on the surface, there were visible scars from being slashed with blades or axes.

——"Nine-headed Serpent Lizard (Legendary Creature)!"

Where are the other three heads?

Why can I only see six heads?

Su Ziyu quickly noticed three necks with heads chopped off on its massive body; judging by the wounds, they seemed to have been sliced off in one go, indicating that the attacker must have been another large creature.

"Still eating! Damn!"

This Nine-headed Serpent Lizard seemed completely indifferent to the demons. In this short time, it had already swallowed the little demons, its huge head again biting towards other prey.

Su Ziyu didn't waste a moment, launching a massive fireball right at its head.

Boom.

Amid the explosive flames, the Nine-headed Serpent Lizard let out a miserable cry and then fiercely glanced over at Su Ziyu not far away.

"Kill it!"

With a wave of Su Ziyu's hand, the surrounding demons swarmed forward.

The Frenzy Demon charged the fastest, advancing rapidly on all fours, leaping onto the Nine-headed Serpent Lizard's neck, locking its limbs around the neck, then biting ferociously. Many Sharp Claw Demons jumped onto the Nine-headed Serpent Lizard, leaving scratch marks on its surface with their claws.

A thick, long serpent tail swept through the air.

More than ten little demons and Sharp Claw Demons were swept away instantly, landing and perishing on the spot.

This creature was extremely ferocious and brutal.

Facing hundreds of demons, it had no thought of retreat; instead, it moved its massive body directly towards Su Ziyu.

Its movement speed was fast.

Killing many little demons along the way.

——"Teleportation!"

Su Ziyu used a teleportation spell to appear over a hundred meters away, accompanied by three Fire Burning Demons, casting spells at the Nine-headed Serpent Lizard. This creature's life force was shockingly robust; even though demons had left many wounds on its body, it still appeared high-spirited and combative.

"Why won't it die!" Su Ziyu became a bit anxious.

The battle continued.

This was an extremely brutal and bloody fight, a full-on attrition war.

Seventy to eighty small demons perished.

Half of the Sharp Claw Demons died.

Five Frenzy Demons were killed.

Currently, the main assault force was the Frenzy Demon and Fire Burning Demon; only the Frenzy Demon could inflict significant damage on it, while the other low-tier demons merely distracted the enemy. This Legendary Creature's skin was too thick; even the demon's claws could only scratch its surface, hardly causing lethal hits.

A lamenting cry.

A Frenzy Demon struck one of the Nine-headed Serpent Lizard's heads with the Hammer of Chaos, and the head soon lost its life essence.

After another head died, the Nine-headed Serpent Lizard seemed frightened and attempted to escape back to the nearby volcanic lake. There was no way Su Ziyu would let it retreat, rushing head-on and using demon claws to grab one of its eyes.

Boom.

The Nine-headed Serpent Lizard's enormous body was likely close to thirty or forty tons, and neither the Sharp Claw Demons nor the Frenzy Demons could halt its escape.

Once it entered the volcanic lake, the demons might be powerless against it.

Meaning the forces Su Ziyu lost would have died in vain.

——"Time Acceleration!"

Seeing the Nine-headed Serpent Lizard nearing the water, Su Ziyu instinctively used the ability Time Acceleration, and unexpectedly, everything around seemed frozen, and the Nine-headed Serpent Lizard appeared to halt, retreating in slow motion.

Su Ziyu's figure darted forward, his sharp demon claws instantly piercing the serpent head's eyeball, one after another, two, three, four, five...

Bang.

As Su Ziyu landed, the Nine-headed Serpent Lizard emitted a mournful cry, the remaining five heads had all their eyes exploded, and its massive head was awash with splattering blood.

The demons instantly swarmed!

The wounded Frenzy Demons grew increasingly ferocious, frantically tearing at the Nine-headed Serpent Lizard's neck, swiftly killing another serpent head, then the second, third...

When the last serpent head was eliminated, the Nine-headed Serpent Lizard's massive body collapsed heavily.

"Gained 36000 points of Power of Slaughter."

"Gained 1 point of Soul Value."

"Gained 60 points of Demon Gene."

"Gained 120 points of Insect Race Gene."

"The Abyssal Blood Pool captured a Legendary Quality soul!"

"You have slain a Legendary Creature! … Unlocking leader template! … Can be upgraded to leader by consuming resources! …"

The battle ended.

Su Ziyu's plan to explore the southern region had to be abandoned, only able to try bringing back the incredibly massive corpse of the Nine-headed Serpent Lizard with the remaining demons.

Heavy casualties!

Over a hundred little demons perished, only thirty or so Sharp Claw Demons remained, five Frenzy Demons were left, one Frenzy Demon was killed, one crippled, the Fire Burning Demons suffered no casualties, and the Enchanting Demon lieutenant was unharmed.

If Su Ziyu hadn't discovered that the Time Acceleration ability could be used at the end, all those demons might have died for nothing.

He tested his abilities when he arrived.

Because his body had changed, becoming the Demon Incarnation, he found that all Spiritual Energy was unusable, initially unaware that Time Acceleration could still be used, only coming to realize then that the Time Acceleration ability seems linked to the Hourglass of Time, meaning it could still be used despite the body switch.

He couldn't use abilities like Spiritual Telekinesis, Spiritual Lightning, Spiritual Vision, and Flashing.

"Skin this creature for me!"

Due to the enormous size of the corpse, even collectively lifting it was a chore for the demons, so Su Ziyu had them dismember the Nine-headed Serpent Lizard, transporting it piece by piece back to the main base.

It seemed frequently preyed on demons and the Insect Race, with many bizarre, disgusting items found in its three stomachs.

"Master!"

"Let me do the skinning! They'll only ruin this serpent skin!" As the battle ended, the Enchanting Demon lieutenant immediately rushed up.

She had a flattering puppy-like expression, seemingly afraid Su Ziyu would be angry.

Throughout the fight, she had never approached the Nine-headed Serpent Lizard, just cast a few useless Charm Spells from afar, proving Su Ziyu's judgment correct—Enchanting Demons need not be numerous.

They cannot engage in frontal battles.
