127 The Ferryman of the Underworld
The flame minotaur who solved the first test of the underworld, and the dead minotaur suddenly burst into flames and turned his huge body into ashes, and then Yang Weiwei and Long Xiangtian glanced at each other, and then they stood aside and put their hands on the big iron door leading to an unknown place in the underworld.
"Are you ready?" The two looked at each other, and both saw such a question in each other's eyes, and then nodded in unison, and at the same time pushed the big iron door open with their arms, and the dazzling light came out of the crack in the door, when the iron door was opened to a certain extent, the light in the door completely wrapped the two of them, and the next second, a strong sense of weightlessness and dizziness invaded the heads of the two.
"Wow! It feels like going to the park as a kid to make a pirate ship! Long Xiangtian endured the feeling of dizziness and vomiting, and just when the complaint ended, the white light shining from the door had already wrapped him and Yang Weiwei together, and when the strong light dissipated, the figures of the two had disappeared, and the big iron door to the unknown place in the underworld had been completely closed.
"Wow Wow Wow Wow !!" Yang Weiwei and Long Xiangtian screamed at the same time, flashed out of thin air from a position 5 meters high from the location, and then fell to the ground together, fortunately, Yang Weiwei quickly adjusted his body shape in the air, and immediately rolled forward the moment he landed, unloading the force that fell to the ground.
Compared with him, Long Xiangtian's falling posture is a little worse, it is directly on the buttocks, fortunately, the flesh on the buttocks of the human body is the most and the strongest, Long Xiangtian fell down and there was no big problem on the body, but he could feel that his buttocks were numb with pain, and he finally got up after holding his butt and shouting in pain.
"Looks like you're not good at improvisation?" Seeing Long Xiangtian's bad posture, Yang Weiwei teased.
"I just didn't have time to react!" As if to justify his current embarrassing situation, Long Xiangtian retorted loudly.
"That's a ...... It's a place that can't be described in words. Without bothering with Long Xiangtian again, Yang Weiwei looked around at the nearby scenery and sighed softly, Long Xiangtian also glanced at it and couldn't help but show the same expression as him.
The gray sky does not reveal a trace of light, obviously there are no dark clouds covering the sky, but there is a gray mist in the air all the time, this is a desolate place where you can't see any trees, the only place to attract attention is about 50 meters in front of the two of you, there is actually a river!
"River!?" Seeing the river not far away, Long Xiangtian hurriedly used his eyes to find the end of the left and right sides of the river, but what made him feel solemn was that the left and right sides of the river could not see the end no matter how he looked at it, as if it was a river that could not see the length, but the other side of the river could be clearly seen.
"That's that~ That's it! To use the name of the Chinese underworld, this river is the legendary river under the Nai He Bridge! Long Xiangtian raised his right index finger and said excitedly as if he had guessed the answer.
"That means it's the River Styx~ So what is the blood-red river we fell down in before called?" When Yang Weiwei heard this, he looked at the other party suspiciously and asked.
"Uh...... Is that? I don't know! Long Xiangtian also felt the contradiction in his language at this time, if the river in front of him was the River Styx, then what was the blood-colored sea full of resentful spirits before, no matter how you looked at it, the previous blood river sea was more like the River Styx, but in this case, what kind of river is this river now?
"Well~ Instead of having time for us to guess here, we might as well go over and take a look." Yang Weiwei's mention of yƬ was immediately recognized by Long Xiangtian, so the two of them stepped towards the river, but when the distance became shorter and shorter, the faces of the two became more and more strange.
"What is this?" Coming to the river, Long Xiangtian's eyes widened slightly, and he asked softly to Yang Weiwei beside him in a stunned tone.
"Hell knows!" Yang Weiwei rolled his eyes speechlessly, and subconsciously replied, the river in front of him was really unexpected by him, because the color of this river was very different from the color of the river in his memory, it was actually pitch black!
"Black river!?" Long Xiangtian exclaimed in disbelief, this color of water he had only seen when he was on earth, it was the industrial sewage discharged from many factories, but the sewage was stinky, but the black water here had no meaning, if it wasn't for the different colors, it was no different from ordinary river water.
"Oh~" Yang Weiwei and Long Xiangtian's ears suddenly sounded with a light sigh of surprise, probably because their attention had been focused on this black river, so the two of them would ignore something, such as the small boat docked on the shore, and the figure on the boat who was shrouded in pitch-black robes and held a giant sickle on his shoulder in his right hand.
Because the body is hidden in the robe, and the black hood on the top of the head only exposes the chin, Yang Weiwei and Long Xiangtian can't see each other's true faces, but the huge crescent-shaped sickle in their hands is full of a heavy sense of coercion that makes people feel depressed.
"I can't imagine that someone can come to me through the first test of the underworld, I am really surprised!" Like the kind of screeching sound that comes from a tape jamming, the figure holding the giant scythe has an oozing smile coming out of his mouth, as if admiring the strength of Yang Weiwei and Long Xiangtian.
"Are you ......?" Long Xiangtian subconsciously wondered, but Yang Weiwei beside him frowned solemnly and said softly: "You are the ferryman of the underworld!?" ā
"Oh~ I can't imagine that there are still people in your human world who know this title, I really miss it! There are a lot of strong human beings who can come to me in the past, but they all call me directly by the name of 'demon' or 'evil creature', which makes me very unhappy, and you human beings have a very good appetite for me, so I don't embarrass you, as long as you can give me a satisfactory reward, I can send you to the other side by boat. ā
"On the other side of the river is the Hades Palace, where is the residence of the Hades, of course, you can't see it with your eyes here, because there is a layer of enchantment guarding it, only if I send you to the other side of the river, you can see the Hades Palace, and when the time comes, it will be up to the Hades to decide your life and death, whether it is reincarnation or direct resurrection to the human world, then you can only resign yourself to fate." Let out his own oozing laughter again, said the ferryman of the underworld.
Turning his head to look at each other, Yang Weiwei was the first to ask, "Then what reward do you want from us before you are willing to cross us to the Hades Palace on the other side of the river?" ā
"Well, this~ I think the weapons on your bodies are very good~ Why don't you give me the weapons, then I'll cross you to the other side of the river!" Looking at the long knife in Yang Weiwei's hand and the rebellious blade on Long Xiangtian's back, the ferryman from the underworld smiled.
"Are you kidding?" Yang Weiwei asked coldly, if they were allowed to send their weapons, then even if they reached the Hades Palace, it was very likely that the Hades would not let them be resurrected, and the weapons in their hands would be the best bargaining chips for them to negotiate with the Hades.
"I'm never joking!" The ferryman of the underworld put away his smile, his tone suddenly became gloomy, and said.
"I don't think this guy actually had any intention of crossing the river from the beginning!" Long Xiangtian frowned and said loudly to Yang Weiwei, and then the two who glanced at each other put their right hands on the weapon in unison, it seemed that they were planning to use a tougher method to let the underworld ferryman send them across the river.
"Stupid humans! You are too arrogant to make my ferryman Charon of the underworld submit! Holding the giant scythe in his right hand aloft, Charon, the ferryman of the underworld, laughed loudly.
"How do you know if you don't try it...... The ferryman of the underworld, Mr. Charon! I used to be a man who couldn't get along with all kinds of captains! Using the thumb of his left hand to push the long knife out of the scabbard, Yang Weiwei put on a posture of being ready to fight.
Xiaoxun ended PS: I can't get along with various captains because I complained about what Kui Ye did in "God of War", the captain of the 1st generation of the hydra Hydra Hydrary was thrown back into the belly of the snake, and in the follow-up, Kui Ye was killed by Ares and sent to the underworld after stabbing the captain, and then kicked down the Styx.
In the 2nd generation, the captain was still a tragedy, he was summoned by the war hammer in the Eastern Barbarian King, and was killed by Kui Ye again, and in PSP's "Chain of Olympus", he directly killed the underworld ferryman Charon with Zeus gloves, and the plot here is a little pinching him. (To be continued.) )
