Chapter 1085: River of Pain
"I'm X, and Hades' test, and I'm going to do this with me?" Wang Yichen was happy. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Co-authored this BOSS doesn't believe that Wang Yichen really doesn't want to play this game, and he has to test his determination to make sure he really doesn't want to play before stopping?
This kind of mentality is also in the middle of the two! Is it so unacceptable that others don't want to accept your arrangement?
However, this change also made Wang Yichen immediately realize that perhaps the task rules of this task are not to forcibly prevent players who do not want to participate from leaving, but only to do limited blocking.
Just like now, if Wang Yichen wants to break through the interception of those creatures in the second ring area, it is almost impossible, but the so-called test of determination or something, he is still very sure to complete it.
Perhaps this is the rule of the game for this hidden mission, and even the boss cannot violate this rule.
Although I still feel that it hurts a bit to not let people quit this setting, as long as this matter is still in accordance with the rules, Wang Yichen has nothing to fear. Speaking of which, he is also a veteran gamer who has been tested by missions for a long time, and he is very confident in his temper, and does not think that anything can shake his resolve.
Hades, one of the Greek gods who ruled the underworld in ancient Greek mythology, specializes in the goods of the dead. So the level set by Hades is undoubtedly a ghostly underworld level.
Standing at the entrance of the Hades level, all Wang Yichen could see was a black haze land, and the ghostly mist contained an extremely strong death qi, even exceeding the amount of death contained in Su Yiming's satanic magic.
If Wang Yichen's current cultivation was only comparable to when he fought Su Yiming, then this mist full of dead air alone was enough to make it difficult for him to move an inch. Obviously, this so-called level that tests the will and determination still has considerable requirements for the strength of the player.
Fortunately, Wang Yichen's current cultivation in the realm of divine power was enough to fight against this dead mist. But to resist the dead air in this mist, Wang Yichen's divine power consumption will definitely be very fast, which is a huge test for his divine power reserves.
And this ghostly death mist looks almost boundless!
Faced with such a situation, most people will retreat from the difficulties. However, Wang Yichen almost didn't hesitate, and stepped directly into this dead mist, which seemed to have no return.
In ancient Greek legends, the underworld controlled by Hades had many very torturous links. For example, Karon, who will cross the river of pain by asking for silver coins; Cerberus, the three-headed dog guarding the gates of the underworld; and the three judges of the underworld, Aiagos, the trial of Milos and Radamantis, each with a flower head, and so on.
These are all ways to torment the undead and intruders repeatedly, and in ancient Greek myths and legends, only a very small number of heroes with both wisdom and courage, and blessed by divine power, were able to leave this terrible underworld alive.
All in all, this is a place of death full of traps, and when the living get to this place, even if it's a tiger, you have to lie down, and even a dragon you have to coil. To be able to return safely from this place is already a miracle. In addition to having brains and strength, you have to have someone behind you, and you have to be careful to avoid all troubles as much as possible in order to get out of here alive.
As a gamer, Wang Yichen can't be ignorant of the plane of ancient Greek mythology, and even if he really doesn't understand it, the tumbling dead qi in this underworld level, and the undead wailing and wandering in this dead air, are enough to remind him that this is a dangerous place.
However, Wang Yichen didn't seem to see or hear everything in front of him, so he stepped directly into the underworld level without turning around.
Soon, Wang Yichen came to a turbulent black river. This river is the Agron River in the underworld, the River of Pain, also known as the River Styx.
This is the first obstacle to the underworld, and no one can cross the river on their own, only Karon, who drives the boat of the river Styx, can ferry the dead to the other side. However, Cuaron would ask each deceased for a silver coin to cross the river, and only those who paid the crossing fee could continue their journey to the underworld, otherwise they would have to wander along the banks of the River of Pain all day long, unable to find a home.
"Shhh!! Roar!!! ”
At this time, those who felt the breath of life on Wang Yichen's body along the River of Pain suddenly rushed towards him frantically.
In Greek mythology and legend, the dead and the spirits of the dead along the River of Pain were harmless, and even when they saw the living, the poor spirits of the dead would flee in panic.
However, this is not the case in this underworld. At least the undead who wander along the banks of the River of Pain are nothing like the legends suggest. As soon as they sensed the anger of the living, they were like sharks smelling blood, and one by one they became extremely crazy.
The strength quality of these undead along the River of Pain is not too high, and it is probably just the strength quality of the purple mid-level troops.
But in the mist of death, these undead obviously have the blessing of Hades's divine power, and they can exert some of their divine power, and their real combat power is not at all reflected in the quality of their strength.
What's more, there were obviously a lot of poor ghosts in ancient Greece, and there were undead who couldn't afford to pay the river crossing fee. Accumulated over hundreds of thousands of years, the number of these poor undead who lingered and wailed along the banks of the River of Pain can only be described as innumerable.
With such a number of god-blessed undead striking at the same time, this is enough to destroy a normal gamer's server, a terrifying wave of attacks!
With Wang Yichen's current strength, it is not impossible for him to cope with such a wave of attacks. But the premise is that he must use powerful skills, and he must break through the encirclement of these undead as soon as possible, and he must not stay in this wave of undead for too long.
However, Wang Yichen's response was unexpected - he did not use any skills to fight back against these undead, but simply relied on divine power to defend against the impact of these undead.
This kind of passive way of coping with beatings is not Wang Yichen's consistent style. But in Wang Yichen's view, this is not a simple battle, but a demonstration and competition of willpower.
What he wants is not simply to destroy the undead along the river of pain, but to show his strong will and determination in the face of difficulties and pressures.
This kind of mentality and intention made Wang Yichen's divine power attribute change again.
Countless undead spirits, with hideous looks and terrible wails, frantically rushed towards Wang Yichen. But no undead can really touch Wang Yichen's flesh and body.
Around Wang Yichen's body, the fluctuations of divine power were surging, and it had almost formed a substance! In the dark and gloomy environment of the underworld level, these jumping divine power fluctuations are set off with extra vividness and vividness, looking like flames burning almost at the same time!
All the undead were instantly incinerated by this flame, and they were wiped out in ashes.
But more undead came one after another, still wailing and rushing towards Wang Yichen's body without hesitation, without flinching because of the fate of his companions.
In front of the gloomy and suffocating river of death, countless crazy undead let out a creepy wail, and continued to attack Wang Yichen like ocean waves. Just looking at this scene is enough to make many people tremble and even have a nervous breakdown.
However, Wang Yichen's face did not change color in the slightest, but he moved forward steadily step by step.
The flaming divine power in his body resisted the mist of death in this underworld level, and also resisted the crazy tide of undead. Reasoning, Wang Yichen's divine power should be violently consumed under this double pressure, and it is normal for it to decline more and more.
But what is shocking is that under such tremendous pressure, the divine power on Wang Yichen's body not only did not dim, but became more and more intense and dazzling.
When he arrived at the banks of the River of Pain, the divine power on his body fluctuated, still bright and intense like the scorching sun! Even the endless darkness of this underworld level seemed to be torn apart by Wang Yichen's divine power fluctuations, like sunlight piercing dark clouds.
It seems that all of a sudden, the undead who launched a crazy attack on Wang Yichen disappeared all at once, and almost at the same moment, these undead suddenly fled together quickly, avoiding Wang Yichen far away, and disappeared into the endless darkness.
The almost eternal wailing along the River of Pain seemed to pause for a moment.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa......"
On the dark, deep, rushing, seemingly boundless river of pain, there was a faint, but incomparably clear paddling.
"You deserve to suffer! Evil ghosts! ”
"Don't wish to see heaven anymore!"
"I'll lead you to the other side!"
"Eternal darkness, fire and ice!"
In the loud shouting, a pitch-black, as if hidden in the boundless mist, made it impossible to see what kind of boat slowly came from the depths of the River of Pain and appeared in Wang Yichen's field of vision.
On top of this boat, there stood an old man hunched over his waist and holding a long pole. The old man had a black beard, fire-breathing eyes, and a gloomy temperament. Apparently this is the only boatman on the River of Pain, Caron, the Ferryman of the River Styx.
When Caron, the ferryman of the River Styx, rowed the boat in front of Wang Yichen, he didn't seem surprised why such a living person Wang Yichen appeared in this place of death in the underworld. He just stopped the boat, stretched out his hand to Wang Yichen without saying a word, and made a gesture to ask for money.
From the relevant records of Greek myths and legends, it can be seen that this Caron is a greedy scoundrel. Relying on the fact that he is the only boatman in the River of Pain, and has an absolute monopoly on resources, Caron will ask each undead for silver coins, and those who do not pay will dare to refuse to carry them.
Even, even if he is a living person, as long as he takes money to bribe him, he will dare to break the rules of the underworld to take out work.
However, because of the weight of the living, the Styx Boat would be very unsafe and dangerous, so Caron's charge for the living was obviously much more expensive - only the golden branch that had been broken from the garden of Persephone after the Underworld allowed Caron to take over the job of ferrying the living.
Wang Yichen had no gold branches, not even silver coins. As a gamer, things like energy coins and crystal coins are their common currency, and Wang Yichen naturally won't carry additional currencies from other planes, unless he wants to go to other planes to do tasks, he will prepare such things.
But this time, this mission came so abruptly that he didn't say hello at all, Wang Yichen was not prepared at all, how could he bring such a thing?
So Wang Yichen shrugged his shoulders at Caron very simply, waved his hand, and signaled that he had no money.
Cuarón didn't say much, just pouted contemptuously, paddled the pole, and turned away with the same crispness.
But at the moment when Caron just turned around and turned his back to Wang Yichen, Wang Yichen made a decisive move and punched the back of Caron's head.
No one can describe the speed and trajectory of this punch, it is a divine blow carrying powerful divine power! Since mastering the divine power, Wang Yichen has rarely used this kind of hand-to-hand melee attack method, but at this time, the power of the sudden attack is enough to make the ghost cry and make the god howl.
Caron, the ferryman of the River Styx, although he does not seem to have a high status, is just a boatman. But in fact, he has a very good background, he is the son of the dark god Erebos and the goddess of night Nyx in Greek mythology, and is the brother of the god of space, Ethel, and the god of day, Hermela.
In fact, if you think about it, you know that if this thing has no background, can it openly ask for bribes in the realm of Hades, the king of Hades, for so many years, and even beat the idea of the golden branch of the queen of the underworld, but there is still nothing to do?
Therefore, there is no doubt that Karon is a god with real divine powers, at least a gold-level creature. Considering his relatively deep background, he will not be the bottom character among gold-level creatures, at least it can be regarded as a midstream grade.
Such creatures, in the Second Ring of the Far North Region, are the most numerous, and they are also very difficult to deal with. Under normal circumstances, Wang Yichen singled out a midstream gold-level creature, and the victory or defeat was at most five or five, and even if he could win, it would take a lot of time, energy and divine power.
So it didn't seem like a wise choice for him to attack Caron. After all, this is in the underworld level, by the river of pain, this is Caron's home field, Caron with home advantage is probably more difficult, Wang Yichen may not be his opponent.
Even if you don't talk about Caron, just the endless rolling dead mist can already cause considerable pressure on Wang Yichen, and it will continue to consume Wang Yichen's divine power.
In this case, Wang Yichen should try to avoid any unnecessary battles and save his own divine power consumption, how can he take the initiative to provoke a powerful opponent?
