Chapter 683: Rest
From the River Styx?
Anzanji's words made me stuporous, what is the River Styx? To put it simply, it is the legendary river of life and death, it is said that this river is the watershed between the world and the underworld, once you cross this river and walk on the Nai He Bridge, it is the real underworld.
Although there are legends about the underworld in both China and abroad, the cultures are different and the beliefs are different, resulting in these legends not being unified, but one of them is to figure out that people should have their own place after death, rather than becoming a yin spirit and staying in the world forever.
In the metaphysical theory of the East, this place is called "Hell", and the West will name it Hell, of course, it doesn't matter what the place is called, the important thing is that the monster that attacked us just now actually crawled out of the River Styx, what does this portend?
Could it be that the gate between the two worlds of yin and yang is just below the foot of this five-peak mountain?
I suddenly broke out in a lot of cold sweat, and Chen Hu was also scared enough, saying What did you just say, Styx? How could the creatures of that place appear in the Five Peaks Mountain?
An Zanji's face sank like ink, and he gritted his teeth and said that he didn't know what was going on, but he had been studying the scriptures left by Zhang Mazi recently, and he had seen the existence of creatures similar to the one just now in the scriptures.
I was thinking about the possibility of this sentence, when suddenly, the small soldiers in front of me let out an exclamation, and someone shouted, "Boss, come and take a look, Meng Jun is no good!" ”
Only then did we think of the dead body that had just been salvaged, and hurriedly ran over with Chen Hu, only to see a stiff corpse lying by the edge of the pool, the protective shield had been sucked away, and the head was as if it had been splashed with sulfuric acid, the flesh and blood were blurred, and it had been seriously deformed. Half of his head dissolved, and one of his eyes remained in his bloody sockets, while the other, dangling from a tendon, swayed in his chest.
This tragic scene deeply stimulated my eyeballs, and also made Chen Hu's cranial nerves fall into a weak twitch, he angrily scolded in the water, using all his vicious words, but he couldn't get back the life of the young soldier next to him, and finally he could only kneel weakly, bury his head on the ground and choke a few times.
After venting his emotions, Chen Hu reluctantly sorted out his emotions and asked me what should I do? I glanced to the side, looked at the little warriors, and asked if there were any children, and if so, please stand up as soon as possible.
A group of little warriors, you look at me, I look at you, and finally stood up with a red face, and asked me what I wanted them to do, I pointed to the pool and said, "Pee, pour the boy's urine under the water, since this thing is from the River Styx, it will definitely have a fear of masculine heavy things, in addition to the child's urine, glutinous rice or cinnabar is also okay." ”
Several little warriors were half red in their faces, avoided it from a distance, and peed on the edge of the pool, to my surprise, An Zanji actually unbuttoned his pants, Chen Hu and I both stared at him with wide eyes, An Zanji turned around casually, saying what, don't believe it?
At such a serious juncture, I almost laughed at him, after the crowd finished peeing, I made some arrangements by the waterhole, and then said to Chen Hu, "The smoke has not yet dispersed, let's withdraw quickly, lest someone choke on the smoke, and then it will be trouble." ”
Chen Hu pointed to the depths of the cave and asked if we didn't go inside? I sighed and said that I was not in a hurry at this time, it seems that the mandrill will not appear, we can go outside to rest and recuperate first, and when everyone has recuperated enough, we will go into the cave early tomorrow morning to investigate.
Chen Hu had no choice but to agree, not long after we walked out of the cave, Zhang Qiang immediately walked up quickly, saying What kind of monster appeared in the cave, why did a large group of people go in for so long? I was so tired that I didn't bother to explain to him, but Chen Hu told Zhang Qiang what had happened with a sad face, and Zhang Qiang was so shocked that he almost sat on the ground, pulled my arm, and said Brother, do you see clearly, that thing is indeed from the River Styx?
I shook my head and said I didn't see it, but Anzanji said he did, and he said yes, presumably so. Zhang Qiang said scared, the monsters in the River Styx are not a joke, what if something happens, I don't think it's as good as ......
As soon as this old boy pouted his ass, I knew what he was planning, and immediately said with a tiger face, don't even think about it, it took such a big price to get here, how can you give up halfway? If we were gone now, what would happen to the two little warriors who died? What to do with the dead in Lao Ma Village, someone has to stand up and collect debts from these monsters.
Chen Hu nodded heavily, and said That's right, these monsters killed my two brothers, but they can't just leave it at that, and I can't explain to the organization when I go back now. Zhang Qiang frowned and said that he didn't care if he didn't explain it? If you continue like this, more people will die.
Chen Hu immediately glared at him, he was already in a very unhappy mood, and almost quarreled with Zhang Qiang directly, I had to separate the two when I saw this, I sighed helplessly, and said What is the noise, I really convinced you, and you are still in the mood to quarrel, save some energy, is it not good to stay and deal with that monster?
The two of them were silent, sat aside and sulked, and soon, Chen Hu walked towards me again, and whispered to discuss the next plan, I said that I just took the time to look at the edge of the cave, this cave is one ring after another, but it is more complicated than the cave I have gone down before, go deep in the net, it may be dangerous, and it is very easy to fall into the labyrinth, the biggest trouble comes from the monster from the River Styx underwater, you must also know how powerful that thing is, if you really encounter it head-on, Our firepower may not be able to handle such a terrifying opponent, and it is very likely that there will be even greater casualties.
Chen Hu sighed, "It's not, but two of our people have died, since we have found the target, we can't go back empty-handed, so I can't hand over at all, you must know that these military police are all seconded by me to the relevant departments, and I lost two for no reason, and I can't catch those monsters, this is really ......"
Zhang Qiang said, "Actually, I understand what you mean, aren't you afraid that it will be difficult to make a difference when you go back, so you just set up a trap outside, catch a few mandrills and go back, just say that this thing is not good?" ”
Chen Hu immediately glared and said, "The surname is Zhang, what are you doing with me, will I do such a thing?" ”
Zhang Qiang snorted, "It's better to do this than if you take someone in to die!" After speaking, Zhang Qiang persuaded me again, "Brother, it's not easy to make money these days, it's even more difficult to save your life, my brother just summed up, I feel that everyone doesn't need to be in such a hurry to enter the hole and work hard, it is better to lead the whole staff thoroughly, as the old saying goes, stay in the green mountains without worrying about no firewood, we ......"
This time, without waiting for Zhang Qiang to finish speaking, I waved my hand to interrupt him, "Lao Zhang, I can't listen to you this time, we haven't figured out where these monsters came from and how they were formed, if we retreat this time, we may not have a chance to destroy them again in the future." ”
