Chapter 397: Styx!

"Fellow human beings, stop...... It's enough, and no matter how much you try to redeem it, it will only add to your troubles...... I can't do it......" Under Zhu Zilong's rescue, the female swordsman woke up like a light return. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

But, unfortunately, the first thing she said when she woke up was so powerless, this is the opposite.

Fortunately, Zhu Zilong's energy and ability are okay.

He managed to save her, but it was impossible for the woman to walk on her own. So, Zhu Zilong hugged her all the way.

In this way, the real test lies in the journey itself.

For this abyssal desert is a vast barren land with no people, no grass and thick dust, and the crimson sun like a furnace is always scorching it, and the ground temperature is suffocating.

Walking in this environment, you will feel like you are putting pork on a hot iron plate, and layers of cooked flavor and oil will bubble out.

Sweat spilled on it, and white smoke rose in an instant. Every moment consumes a huge amount of stamina!

The terrain along the way is dominated by dusty plains, interspersed with many bottomless rifts and huge craters. Smoke filled with the smell of sulfur rose from the sun. According to the succubus, these rifts and craters are actually portals to other levels of the abyss, but they are not helpful for travel.

Because the teleportation in these places is random, the devil knows where to send people.

It is even possible to send a person directly to the home of another powerful demon, or to the dinner table, or to the bottom of a volcano. In short, the risk of gambling is too great, otherwise, Zhu Zilong will definitely choose to go through these teleportation areas.

What's even more terrifying is that although in most cases, portals have two-way entrances, they can sometimes become one-way. Travelers who jump into these traps. You will be trapped in the turbulence of eternal time and space, and there is no way to save yourself!

Therefore, even the gods would not easily choose to borrow the entrance of these teleportation functions.

I don't know, how long I walked.

Finally, I walked out of the desert area, and in front of me was a dark red river Styx.

The river meanders between the plains, and at times, the river cascades into certain rifts and giant pits, creating huge waterfalls. Other rifts and craters gush out large amounts of sewage and become the source of tributaries of the River Styx.

Zhu Zilong asked if it was possible to cross the river, which would save a lot of time.

As a result, the succubus did not hesitate to reject this suggestion, on the grounds that the river was alive and weird.

As expected, when Zhu Zilong came to the river.

The River Styx, which used to flow calmly like a small river, suddenly roared, the waves rolled, and the rapids were unstoppable.

The thunderous sound turned out to be the roar of the river. But all this was so strange that I had never heard the slightest sound of the rushing river before, and it was not until it was close to a certain distance that the rumbling sound suddenly came to my ears.

"It's weird!" Zhu Zilong frowned.

Zhu Zilong slowly took a few steps back, and the huge sound of the rushing and roaring river suddenly disappeared, and he once again experienced the silent silence. However, when he took another step, a loud sound suddenly crept into his ears again.

It all seems so incredible that it's hard to explain.

Zhu Zilong got closer, and immediately found that the river made people dizzy for a while, the river water was yellow, and there was an evil aura, which made people involuntarily disgusted.

A stone tablet stands on the yellow river embankment, and the two ancient vicissitudes of time on the huge stone tablet are particularly eye-catching--- "Styx - Hades the Ruler"!

Hades?

Zhu Zilong couldn't help but be stunned, it can't be the same name, right?

However, there is indeed such a character in the myths and legends that seem to be on the other side of the earth.

He is the emperor of the underworld who rules the underworld in Greek mythology, and is also one of the twelve main gods in some versions of the main gods. He is the son of the second god-king god queen Kronus and Rhea, and the elder brother of Zeus. He was married to Persephone, the daughter of Zeus, the god of grain, and Demeter, the god of grain.

The Greek mythological view of death does not exist as heaven and hell with the judgment of good and evil, but believes that the underworld is the only place for all the dead, so the mythological image of Hades is cold, but as an early myth, it is different from the dualism in religious mythology.

Hades is the "King of Hades", although he is in charge of death, he is not the "Grim Reaper", nor is he the "judge" of the underworld; The god of death is Thanatos and the god of sleep is Hypnus, and they are the sons of Nyx. There were three judges, Mions, Rhadamanthus, and Aiakos, who were the demigod sons of Zeus.

In Earth legends, reach Hades. Here, a great black river flows, the Akeron - the river of pain. The river blocked the way, and only Charon, a bearded boatman, could ferry the undead to the other side. However, the spirits must pay a fee to cross the river before they can board the boat, otherwise they will wander along the banks of the River of Pain and find no home.

Obviously, the connection between the two is only partially similar.

Zhu Zilong walked to the side of the stone stele, and vaguely saw some ancient patterns, and saw that it was engraved with the wind and frost of the years, and it was conceivable that it must have experienced endless and long years.

Looking at the surface of the river again, the yellow water that rolls and roars through is endlessly dead.

At this moment, the piercing sound of flapping wings sounded in the nearby woods, and a large flock of birds and finches were overwhelming. Coming here to cover it. However, this kind of bird is really frightening, although it is only the size of a palm, but its appearance is extremely peculiar, it is actually a wolf's head and a sparrow, I really don't know whether to classify it as a bird or a beast.

In the face of the dense and boundless wolf-headed birds, Zhu Zilong and the succubus both thought that it was better to avoid the edge for the time being.

If there are too many ants, they will also bite the elephant to death.

Being able to communicate is the king, if you can't communicate, how much you kill, to exhaustion to death, may not be able to wipe out the opposite population.

These strange birds, all with blood-red eyes, bared fangs, glowing with a cold light, the most terrifying thing is that when approaching here, each strange bird began to spit out ice spikes.

Fortunately, no matter how much the ice spikes are hung, they can't make the forest burn.

Zhu Zilong and the others dodged into the forest, where the towering trees were dense, but they were not afraid of these strange birds.

Wait until they fly by, and the target is not themselves or others. Zhu Zilong caught a few of them, controlled them in the palm of his hand and observed them carefully, and found that these strange birds were more like a race of insects.

Well, wait, these weird birds are not sane. Why don't you fly over the river, but around the river?

"Because the top of this river is forbidden to the sky, no birds and flying races can fly over it, they can only take a detour, otherwise, why wouldn't I propose to fly over it directly...... The succubus's voice rang out in the back.
