Chapter 245 The Rock Python of the Kokuts River (Part II)
A month-long training session at the Hades Training Camp in Martian Mariner Canyon is quickly coming to an end. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoIn the past month, except for Han Yilong, who has been studying advanced cosmic physics and space theory at the second base, the other six people have been tortured by the three major judges of Hades and tired into dogs! However, the effect is still very obvious. Although within this month, no one has successfully advanced and has remained at the third-order ability, the combat power of the six people has risen several levels, among which the most outstanding progress is Huang Sicheng and Jon.
Jon Marks is from the Max family on the planet Alpha Centauri, and since the death of his eldest brother Thomas Max, the family has been raising Jon as a seedling of the Inspectorate's Secret Service Chief. Therefore, the family almost doesn't care about the cultivation of capable people, and it all depends on their own exploration. With his grandfather, the former head of the Inspectorate, and his father, who is now the head of the Secret Service, two mountains, Jon is easy to get into the Inspectorate. However, Jon has his own plans, he doesn't want to be a royal leg in the Inspectorate, and he spends his days digging for information and doing some stealing things. This time he was able to enter the training camp, Jon cherished it very much, and he has been working hard to learn martial arts skills, and he will talk to Lin Feng about his ability when he has nothing to do. It's been a rapid progress.
As for Huang Sicheng, the eldest young master of the Yellow River family, he was originally a gentleman, but he got the third-order ability by chance, and he didn't know how to use it, so he entered the training camp, and called his father and mother all day long under the heavy training tasks, but he also persevered and gained a lot of practical skills.
Others, like Qin Yan and Qin Hanyan and Jiang Lihua, are not weak in their personal combat ability, and of course the room for improvement is limited, so it is not very obvious. Lin Feng almost didn't make any progress at all, of course, this was what it seemed on the surface. In fact, since killing the rock python with the antibody protein secreted by himself a month ago, he has obtained a lot of ability genes from the rock python gene. For example, one of them is the gene for the structure of scales.
Lin Feng slightly modified this gene and gained what he called the "Protective Saint Armor" ability. This ability almost replicates the scales of the rock python, except that it does not have the colorful patterns of the rock python. Lin Feng's skin looked the same as a normal person, but its hardness and toughness could be similar to that of a rock python's scales, like a piece of armor that greatly enhanced Lin Feng's body's defense. Another ability is to inherit the toxin of the rock python.
Today is the day of the final assessment!
The three major judges walked with six people on the banks of the Kelong River, the second largest river in the underworld, and the so-called Kelong River is of course also a magma river. The Koron River is a branch of the Kokutes River, and when it passes through the Tynas Point, known as the "Gate of Reincarnation", the iron content of the rock is so high that the magma almost turns into molten steel, showing a bright incandescent state, like an ancient fluorescent lamp. The Kelong River enters a large underground lake through the "Gate of Reincarnation" Tenas Point, which is where the six people are assessed.
"The examiner is a fellow named Caron," Minos explained, "this old creature has been in the Styx for most of his life, holding a canoe, and your task is to find a way to board his boat and convince him to cross the river with you!"
"It's that simple?" Huang Sicheng almost blurted out, while habitually digging out his empty pockets, he was expected to be able to take out a few hundreds of millions of checks, but only a handful of dust, swallowing the second half of the sentence into his stomach.
"Easy, hehe," the clown man sneered, "and you'll know then!"
Several people looked at the three major judges with cautious expressions on their faces, and their hearts rose from time to time. After a while, the crowd passed through the "Gate of Reincarnation" Tenas Corner. The Tynas Point is a stalactite made up of stalactites from the cave over time, and the main body takes the shape of an inverted triangle, spanning the Kelong River. After passing the Tynas Corner, and walking for more than ten kilometers, they came to the shore of the Stygian Lake, and the three judges gave a few more explanations, and then hurried back.
The six of them looked at each other, not knowing what to do next. The vast Stygian Lake is immense, and the tumbling incandescent magma illuminates the entire underground cavern. The roof of the cave is a few hundred meters above the surface of the lake, and there are countless such underground caverns in the interior of Mars. At this moment, a vague figure appeared in the distance where the surface of the lake met the top of the cave, drifting under the action of the air above the hot magma. Immediately after that, a melodious and beautiful song came:
"Hi~~, the little ghost on the other side~~, I want to be reincarnated~~, reincarnate to be a good person, do good deeds~~"
After the song, a lonely boat appeared in everyone's field of vision, on which stood a thin thin old man, with a bamboo pole in his hand inserted in the magma in turn left and right, pushing the boat to slowly crash through the semi-condensed magma on the surface of the lake and move forward. If it were on top of a vast lake, it would definitely be a poetic picture, but in the cave beneath the surface of Mars, on the hot magma of the Styx, everything looks so weird and creepy!
"Is it Karon?" Qin Yan stood in front and asked first.
The old man in the boat pulled the bamboo pole out of the magma Styx Lake, and the magma quickly condensed into rocks, and the old man's hands trembled, and the rocks bonded to the bamboo poles broke into countless pieces and fell into the lake, and were melted into magma by the Styx Lake again. Obviously, the bamboo poles and the flat boats have been specially treated, otherwise they would not have been able to withstand the heat of the Styx. The old man only had a thin blue robe with countless patches on his body, his dirty hair and long beard curled, and he grinned, revealing a mouthful of old yellow teeth with only a dozen or so left, "Hehe, it's me, what's the matter, little ghost, want to cross the river?"
"Isn't that obvious?" Huang Sicheng said impatiently.
"Hehe, eldest young master, many times, there are often many people who can't see through obvious things!" Karon smiled meaningfully with a mouthful of yellow teeth.
"Don't waste time, what conditions, let's talk about it!" Under the effect of the armor made of rock python skin, Qin Hanyan regained his face of frost.
"Well, the female doll has the courage and is direct enough, I like it!" Karon swept around his body wrapped in Qin Hanyan's tight-fitting suit, his face countened. Caron put the bamboo pole in his hand on the flat boat, smiled maliciously and said, "Actually, it's very simple, as long as you have the ability to board my boat!"
"Old man, do you have a problem with your brain? This broken boat can carry six of us?" Huang Sicheng said with a roll of his eyes.
Caron snorted and sneered twice, and his bamboo-like body swayed with the boat. The boat swayed, and the magma in the entire Stygian Lake began to roll up and down, and a large number of bubbles bubbled out. The faces of the six people tightened, this phenomenon is obvious, isn't it a sign of the appearance of the rock python?
The boat at Caron's feet swayed as it slowly lifted away from the lake, revealing the true face of the boat hidden in the magma beneath it. Huge scales, large blue eyes that shimmer, a big tongue as thick as a waist, and two poisonous fangs flowing with highly poisonous liquid. The boat on which Caron sat was actually part of a huge and friendless rock python. Caron laughed, and only then did everyone see clearly that the boat was a bone plate on the neck of a rock python. Caron stepped on the neck of the rock python, and as the rock python lifted up from the magma, looked down, and said with a smile: "How is it, is it still too small now, big young master?"
The body of the giant rock python poking out of the magma was about fifty or sixty meters long, and its single eye was much larger than the caron itself. The head of the giant snake is topped with two antlers, similar to those of the legendary dragon. Caron held the dragon's horn in one hand and beckoned to everyone on the shore: "Hey, how is it, come up? I've been very busy lately, so I don't have time to wait for you!"
The giant rock python opened its bloody mouth and roared to the sky, a thick black smoke erupted from the depths of its throat, and a pair of dark blue eyes stared at the rock python armor on everyone's body, probably smelling the same kind from these armors, maybe it was still its own offspring. The rock python suddenly lowered its head and roared at the six people, this time it did not have the black smoke as expected, but directly spewed out a ball of flame without warning.
Flames swept across the magma of the Stygian Lake like a fiery knife stabbing at the six men. Everyone quickly dodged to the sides, and the flames passed past the six people, hitting the cave wall, and suddenly a burst of smoke rose, and the stone wall actually melted into a large circular hole. The faces of the six people changed greatly, isn't this an assessment? How can you still play really?
"Everyone is divided into three groups, outflanking left and right, diverting his attention!" Lin Feng said quickly, beckoning Qin Hanyan and climbing the rock wall from the left. After a month of training, rock climbing became almost instinctive, and the two of them quickly climbed to a height of 50 meters. Lin Feng took out a chain from the backpack he was carrying and nailed it into the stone wall. The other two groups also followed Lin Feng's example and made several climbing facilities on the stone wall.
"Yo drink, the little ghosts are going to move," Karon stood on the rock python's neck with a smile on his face, "Xiaoxiao," he patted the rock python's head, "give them some color and see, remember, you can't get killed, it's not fun to die!"
The rock python roared in agreement, twisting its body and swimming in the Styx, the calm magma tumbling.
