Chapter 75: Passage to the Underworld
The old man shouted like this, which directly attracted everyone's attention.
Cutler, who was listening to a serenade and looking at the stars, was the first to react, he turned his head to look at the old man, and found that two blue pillars of fire about ten meters high appeared in the two braziers in front of the old man.
Behind the pillar of fire was a mist where the road ahead could not be seen, and on both sides of the fog was a little bit of blue glow.
"This is the passage of the underworld, as long as we follow the passage and don't cross the blue band of light, we can go all the way to the Golden City."
At this point, the old man asked his men to bring a copper basin, in which something resembling a leaf was soaked in water.
"When you go in, you will bring one with you, and after walking through the pillar of fire, press this thing to your eyes, so that we can see the strange monsters in the underworld, no matter what you encounter, don't be afraid, with the protection of flames, there will not be any undead strange to attack us, and when you get to the ground, you just need to eat the leaves, you can leave the underworld passage and appear in the Golden City, it's very simple, right."
Cutler walked up to the old man, took a leaf from the basin, looked it up and down, put it to the tip of his nose and sniffed it, and then said, "Your witchcraft is very interesting." ”
"The wisdom of the ancestors is as everywhere as the light of the sun."
The old man said calmly, and in his tone, there was a radiance of confidence.
Cutler snorted, scratched the leaf over his eyes, and walked between the two pillars of fire, and then Cutler's soldiers raised their weapons and aimed them at the leaders of the scene, signaling that they could go.
The old man laughed and picked up a leaf, but he honestly put the leaf on his right eye, and then walked in slowly.
The next to follow in was the snake attack tribe brave people full of cannon fodder, this time the snake attack tribe suffered a big loss, Cutler called out all their brave men, as long as they were adult men, all of them were arranged in, and nearly sixty people were put together.
Pressed by the muskets of the Cisse soldiers, they all stepped forward and picked up the leaves, pasted them on their right eyes, and then followed.
He was followed by Lloyd and thirty brave men from the Eagle Tribe.
After that, the deer-eating tribe also sent thirty people, the Inca side sent fifteen people, and then the three Mayan tribes sent twenty people each, plus forty Cisse soldiers, a total of 225 troops entered the underworld passage in this way.
After everyone entered the passage, the ten remaining Cisse soldiers became the guards here, which was the only way for Cutler to stay, after all, this was not their home field, and they needed to prevent anyone from messing around here.
Except for some members of the Inca tribe, all the others were driven far away, for fear that they would come up and destroy the burning pillar of fire.
However, Cutler, who entered the passage of the underworld, did not pay attention to this.
The moment he stepped over the pillar of fire, he entered a fog.
It's not appropriate to say that this is a fog, in fact, it's just a white expanse, and the range of sight is not far, although it is not to the point where you can't see your fingers, but it's certain that you can't see far.
Cutler could only rely on the moving blue light in front of him to guide his way, and he barely managed to get into the wrong position.
After about four or five steps, Cutler felt that something was not right, didn't he say that they were coming immediately after him, why didn't he hear the footsteps behind him until now?
Cutler stopped, his hand pressed directly to the weapon on his waist.
At this moment, the old man's voice came from his ear, "Don't stop, the road to the underworld is always alone." ”
"Play dead." Cutler snorted, took a silver cross from his pocket, pinched it in the palm of his hand, and said something in his mind, then closed his eyes, stood there for a moment, turned in a direction, stepped out of the blue light, and entered the real fog.
The moment he stepped out of the blue light, Cutler felt a change in front of him, and what seemed to turn into a chaotic wilderness with a strange blood-red full moon in the sky.
Above the wilderness, there are many skull-like things that can move on their own even if they don't have a body.
As soon as Cutler stood up, they were sensed by those things, and they pounced on Cutler as if they were going crazy.
"It turned out to be these little things, it seems that the gods here can't do it either, and there is no way to clean up even the remnants of the remnants, but why does that guy have to limit us to the route he has set, is it possible that there is something in that route?"
As he thought about it, Cutler looked around, and soon he saw that there was a low barren mountain not far away, from which he should have a full view of the wilderness.
Cutler didn't think much about it, he went straight to that side, and after a while, he climbed up the barren mountain, and those remnants sensed Cutler's presence, but these little things had no combat power at all, and Cutler could crush those skulls with one kick, and he couldn't stop Cutler's footsteps at all.
Standing on top of the barren mountain, Cutler saw the general situation of the wilderness, and he also noticed that the passage made of many blue flames did not follow a straight line.
In the wilderness of the underworld, it is clear that a large circle is drawn, and there is no direct straight line, although the end of the flame passage points to a city-like phantom, but the turning point in the middle has another mystery.
Seeing this, Cutler's face froze, and he took out the cross and placed it between his eyebrows, then stared at the turning point of the passage with wide eyes.
He found that there seemed to be a golden figure there, and the style was immediately informative.
The figure had stood in the wilderness for a long time, and was about to become one with the earth.
"It turned out to be for this, but if you want to deceive me, you still underestimate me Cutler, although I am called the Demon Slayer General, I also have a title that you don't know, God Slayer."
With that, Cutler slid down the barren hill and quickly ran towards the Blue Passage.
He was running quite fast, and almost in the blink of an eye, he was almost back in the blue channel.
However, it is precisely for this reason that Cutler does not notice that when he runs out, the shadow of a feathered serpent appears in the direction of the city's phantom, which is exactly the same as the one that Ryuji saw when he first entered the Golden City.
