Chapter 142: Watchdog
"They are good at using poison, which is smeared with a layer of powder called the Nine Shades of Fire, which is a kind of grass that grows in the deep underground in the extremely cold place, called the Nine Shades Grass, dried in the sun, ground into powder, and will burn when encountering any liquid, the toxicity of this grass is incomprehensible, and the high temperature produced can sell gold and iron, you see."
Li Yuqing pulled out the dagger for self-defense, gently scraped off a thin layer of powder on the metal sheet with the blade, and returned it to Zheng Dong.
Zheng Dong understood at a glance, which meant that this person had the Tianyun Sword, if he really sent the gold piece to Susa's family, it was to return the relics on the surface, but in fact, let him send it to the door with the sword, what Susa's family would do after seeing this gold piece, it was obvious, even if he didn't send it, the poisonous weed powder on the gold piece would kill him at some point.
Susa is still calculating others when he is dying, and he is doing things in such a short time, and his heart can be described as vicious.
Zheng Dong threw the gold piece twice in his hand, he wanted to throw it away, and then thought about it, when he returned to the secular world in the future, it would be good to use this gold piece to make any gold jewelry, so he put it away, took out the Aegis, and the two of them flew quickly along the road they chose, hoping to fly to the end, if they could get out of the maze, it would be the best, if not, they could turn back early if they hit the south wall, and choose the second way to continue trying.
Along the way, they crossed the ditch and flew across the river, without stopping for a moment, and the two even sat down and had lunch together, of course, slowing down the flight speed, otherwise they would be cold and their stomachs would not be able to stand it.
Walking and walking, the road gradually extends forward along a rushing river, enjoying the scenery on both sides of the river, eating a simple lunch, it is rare to have such leisure time, it will be Zheng Dong's turn to sigh, "This scenery is beautiful, but unfortunately I can't find anything suitable to say, hey, I only graduated from primary school in terms of Chinese studies, I only remember a poem by Li Bai, the apes on both sides of the strait can't stop crying, and the light boat has passed the ten thousand mountains." ”
Li Yuqing covered his mouth and smiled, two shallow dimples appeared at the corners of his mouth, and said: "I think" the green mountains on both sides of the strait are opposite each other, and the lonely sail comes by the side of the sun', which is also Li Bai's poem, which may be more appropriate. ”
Looking at the end of the road, the sunlight quickly receded on the stone wall, disappearing into the deep and dark canyon, Zheng Dong was afraid of the dark since he was a child, but now he flew to the dark, and he couldn't show his nervousness in front of the girl, men want face.
But the further they flew, the sunlight had completely disappeared, the light around them dimmed, and the faces of the two gradually became nervous, and the river that had been wild and jubilant became quiet here, meandering forward quietly like a ghost, and the clear and transparent river water became turbid, and finally merged into a big river in front of you, a few dead branches on the bank of the river were like arms like white bones, and the branches at the end were like open hands desperately grasping to the sky, the water surface was black mist, there was no sound of water flowing, quiet, the kind of silence that made people's scalp tingle.
For some reason, the Aegis stopped in front of the river, Zheng Dong had to dispel the idea of crossing the river by Aegis, took it away, took out the flashlight, and the two of them could only see a distance of four or five meters in the black fog with the flashlight, "Follow me." Zheng Dong reminded.
The two men walked a few steps along the riverbank, but found nothing, and could not find a boat to cross the river, when suddenly the sound of rowing water came from the middle of the river, and they stood still and waited to see what was going on.
A broken ship full of holes slowly sailed out of the foggy darkness, a man more than three meters high, dressed in a black robe, rowing unhurriedly, and when the boat docked, the boatman's appearance was also clearly seen, green eyes, full beard, and a hand stretched out expressionlessly.
Zheng Dong looked inexplicable, but Li Yuqing spoke, her teeth chattering, "Please, may I ask you, is this the River Styx?" ”
The boatman didn't talk, just nodded.
"Let's go." Li Yuqing whispered.
"No, what if there's a way out ahead." Seeing that the boatman had no malicious intent, Zheng Dong ignored Li Yuqing's dissuasion and asked, "Is there a way out ahead?" ”
The boatman nodded.
It's good that there is a way out, Zheng Dong happily continued to ask, "Can you take us across the river?" ”
The boatman nodded, and held out his hand again.
Oh, he asked for the boat fare, Zheng Dong remembered the gold piece, took it out and put it in the boatman's hand, he accepted it, returned to the boat and picked up the oars, and waited for Zheng Dong and the two, Zheng Dong happily pulled Li Yuqing to get on the boat, Li Yuqing hesitated, saw Zheng Dong's eyes full of joy, or followed the boat in ignorance.
The boat rowed very slowly, the two stood at the bow of the boat, Li Yuqing lowered his head and did not speak, Zheng Dong opened his eyes wide, shining a flashlight on the opposite bank, trying to see the situation ahead, but the thick black fog on the river always blocked his vision. The boat drove to the middle of the river, and countless miserable white corpses floated on the water surface nearby, although Zheng Dong was proficient, he instinctively still had a fear of these strange things, the key was that there were too many of them, just like a hundred or so dumplings in a pot at a time.
The hairs on his back stood up, and the boatman seemed to be surprised, and still rowed his boat calmly, but at this moment, the corpses lying on the surface of the water suddenly turned over, and were still lying on the water, opened their eyes, opened their mouths full of rotten teeth, and showed an angry expression on their faces, stretched out an arm to make a gesture of wanting to grab people, gathered to the side of the boat, and slapped the board of the boat vigorously.
Zheng Dong and Li Yuqing's hearts were hanging, for fear that they would climb onto the boat, but the boatman's attitude as always reassured the two of them.
Finally arrived at the other side, the two quickly ran off the boat, Zheng Dong took Li Yuqing and ran a long distance before stopping, "It's so scary, by the way, what does the River Styx mean when you ask him?" ”
"The River Styx is the boundary between life and death, and going forward is hell."
"I'll it, why didn't you say it earlier." Zheng Dong almost jumped on the spot.
"I want to say it, but you're too fast, and you have to take a boat after paying, and you can't return it." Li Yuqing replied helplessly.
"How can there be an entrance to hell in the Garden of Divine Tears?"
Li Yuqing shook his head, "I don't know this, there are remnant souls of heroic spirits in the Divine Weeping Garden, and all of them naturally have an entrance to hell." ”
Zheng Dong wants to scold himself, he is really an ignorant and fearless, he personally sent himself to the gate of hell, and people can't find the entrance to heaven, is there anyone more stupid than himself?
Total, since it's here, then continue to move forward, Zheng Dong took out the shield, and it can be used again, the two of them sat on it and flew forward directly, to see if they could find the exit of the labyrinth, the emperor lived up to his wishes, he saw a gate on a stone wall from afar, and after speeding up, he came to the door, Zheng Dong was about to jump down to take a closer look, and suddenly felt a pull behind him, dragging him to the shield again.
Zheng Dong looked at Li Yuqing in surprise, how could she have such strength when she was usually weak, without waiting for him to ask, he felt an itch on the back of his neck, stretched out his hand and scratched it, and a heavy snort sprayed on his body, he turned his head and looked, even God, so close, looking at such a big dog head, there is a pickup truck so big, blood-red eyes glared at him menacingly, snow-white sharp teeth were exposed, and the fishy smell of saliva came to his face.
As soon as his mind moved, the Aegis retreated a few meters away, the stupid dog did not chase after him, Zheng Dong saw more clearly this time, it was not a dog head, it was three, with a snake wrapped around his neck, a long snake tail, and barbs on it. Li Yuqing, on the contrary, was calmer, she said softly: "It is the three-headed dog of hell, it is said to guard the gate of hell, don't mess with it, it not only prevents the living from entering the underworld by mistake, but also prevents the undead of the underworld from going to the human world." ”
"I see, is this the gate of hell? I don't think there's anything new about it, you say that the gate of hell in the west is open in the east, is this considered crossing the line! My master said that the forces of the East and the West are divided and will not cross the line, otherwise they will be erased by the Lord of Space. Zheng Dong was full of confidence in his inference, "So I'm going to open this door anyway, Yu Qing, you say, how to deal with this guy." ”
Zheng Dong opened the eye of heaven and looked at it, the body protection aura in the early stage of Shenjin is really inferior to a dog!
"Come to think of it, it's all legends, it loves honey cakes." Rubbing his temples, Li Yuqing said with a frown.
Without saying a word, Zheng Dong immediately prepared the relevant ingredients and stove, tossed for a long time, and used a large pot to spread out a large cake that could cover adults, and poured almost five jars of honey on it.
After the cake was ready, Zheng Dong threw the cake in front of the three-headed dog, and the beast ignored it at all, not even bothering to sniff it.
"Think again, what else can be done?" Zheng Dong's stubborn personality does not allow him to give up.
"Oh, it seems to like to listen to music, and it is said that it falls asleep when it hears good music."
"Can you sing?" Zheng Dong regretted a little that when he searched the supermarket, the only thing he didn't take was those records and players, or how simple it would be to put some good music casually.
"No, I can play the piano, but I don't."
"Okay, I'll sing." Zheng Dong went out, he stood up on his shield and sang a military song of the French Foreign Legion. There were some silent crows on the dead branches next to him, and he snorted together, and the crows flew away directly, and they flew back with a discussion-like "quack, quack" twice.
The dog was still indifferent, blindly pleasing it, it really didn't appreciate it, it really showed goodwill, it didn't even look at it, Zheng Dong was angry, "Yuqing, you wait here, I'll clean it up." ”
The two got off their shields, Zheng Dong closed it on his left arm, took out the black dragon mace in his right hand, roared wildly, and rushed forward.
