Hydra is the name of a snake in myths and legends. The body is huge, with scales, and nine tails below the waist, dragging, and there is the sound of iron collision. There is a small hole at the end of each tail, which can be ejected, like a bullet.
The legend of the Nine-Tails Snake was recorded by Yuan Shuang's Qing Dynasty: “Someone named Maoba, when he was young, went to Jiangxi to buy paper. That times, the paper workshop were in deep mountains. The people working in the workshop must stay. The night came, they all locked the door, did not go out. They said that in the mountains there are many different beasts, not only tigers and wolves. One very bright moonlight night, Mao could not sleep, wanted to open the door to see the moon. He relied on martial arts and could still bear it, so he opened the door to the outside. Not a few dozen steps away, suddenly saw dozens of monkeys, running to tears, picking a big tree to climb, Mao also peeked from afar. Not long after seeing a snake, coming out from the forest, its body like arches, eyes gleaming, the skin was even fish-scale but hard, nine tails down from the waist, pulled together, yes sound like armor. But under the tree, it raised its tail, spinning into a dance. Each tail has a small hole, inside the hole produces saliva like bullets shot on trees. Inside the monkeys, some were screaming falling to the ground, their stomach cracked and died. Then slowly eat the three monkeys, pull the tails and go. Mao was scared, returned, of course it was dark at night, dared not go out.”
