Jiang Ming and the others followed them to the indigenous tribe. In front of him were nearly a hundred natives, men, women, and children, and several older natives wore strange masks on their faces, like evil spirits from hell.

"Patriarch, they are polluted outsiders." The tall and thin man who had led the team earlier saluted one of the old men and said respectfully.

"Buck, I have received a decree from Lord Hades, and you take them to a holy place to be purified by Lord Hades." The patriarch's voice sounded hoarse, as if he had just recovered from a serious illness.

Seeing the patriarch, Jiang Ming frowned. The patriarch looked weak, but the momentum exuding from his body made him feel faintly creepy.

Obviously, if you work hard, you will definitely lose. After meeting Hades, there may be an answer.

Half an hour later, Jiang Ming and the others followed Buck around to the rear of the tribe. All the way down, only the dense woods were seen, and the sounds of birds and beasts became less and less, and in the end, no sound could be heard at all, and it was unusually quiet. Equally, it is frightening that what used to be a green meadow turns black and the trees are completely bare and lifeless.

"Outsiders, follow the road by yourselves, until you reach the end, and you will see the Lord Hades. Remember, do not try to run away, and do not look back, or you will be severely punished by Hades. Buck admonished, and untied their hands.

Can't run away, can't turn back, it's like I've heard it somewhere!

Jiang Ming took Wang Yan by the hand and cautiously walked slowly along the only path. His brow furrowed slightly, remembering a legend from Greek mythology, very similar to what Buck said.

According to legend, Orpheus came to the underworld at the cost of his life in order to save his wife. He used his beautiful sound to impress the Immortal King. Hades felt pity and agreed to Orpheus's request, but put forward one condition: Orpheus must not look back at her before leaving the underworld, otherwise his wife will never be able to leave the underworld.

Orpheus happily thanked the king of Hades and led his beloved wife on the way home. He and his wife crossed the valley and the Dead River, and the journey was gloomy. Finally, through the light at the exit, Orpheus turned around happily and hugged his wife, only to find that she had turned into a stone statue. Orpheus was so grief-stricken that he stayed in the underworld to play forever for his wife, who had been turned into a stone statue.

"Your story is so bleak." Women are always full of sentimentality for tragic stories, and Wang Yan burst into tears after listening to Jiang Ming's story.

After Jiang Ming finished telling the story, he shook his head and sighed: "Actually, I've been doubting. Was what Orpheus saw at the beginning really exported? Perhaps all this is a trap for Hades. ”

"Trap?" Wang Yan didn't understand, how could the Hades King set a trap to deal with mortals?

"Yes. Hades used the forged exit to leave the affectionate Orpheus in the underworld, so that he could hear Orpheus's moving sound forever. In this way, not only did he sell a favor, but he also made Orpheus stay willingly. ”

Jiang Ming slowly said his bold guess.

He had heard many versions of Orpheus's story, but they all found one thing in common, that is, Orpheus did not resurrect his wife after all. In fact, birth, old age, sickness and death are human nature, and Orpheus wants to resurrect his wife against the sky, which is naturally against the laws of nature. How could Hades, as the Lord of Death, not know this truth. So, all this is false, and Hades' actions have an insidious purpose. This better explains the reality of Orpheus's "exit".

"Did you notice that our situation is very similar to the story of Orpheus." Jiang Ming said solemnly: "So, we can't turn back, no matter what happens, we can't turn back." ”

Wang Yan nodded and followed Jiang Ming all the way.

The strange thing is that this road can be seen at a glance, but it can't go to the end. Moreover, as the road deepens, the surrounding temperature gets lower and lower, gradually approaching freezing. The coldness of the air seemed to make the physique of the star warrior unable to resist it.

Jiang Ming found goosebumps all over his body, and the panting in his mouth could be faintly visible.

However, it is impossible to turn back. He didn't want to fulfill Orpheus's tragedy. There was no way, he could only hug Wang Yan, and the two snuggled tightly and walked slowly, barely holding on.

After walking for about ten minutes, a strange sound suddenly sounded around me. It resembles a woman's melancholy sigh, like a rapid moan, occasionally mixed with a piercing scream.

Jiang Ming's heart was beating when he heard it, not to mention Wang Yan, who was a woman. She almost turned around, but fortunately, Jiang Ming hugged her tightly, so nothing happened.

"It's okay, it's all an illusion. Have you forgotten that there was nothing here before we even stepped on the road? ”

Jiang Ming said softly, his eyes were full of determination. He also warned himself that all this is a test for Hades, and as long as he doesn't look back, nothing will happen.

However, the next moment something even weirder and more terrifying happened.

As the road progressed, someone caressed his back, as if a soft and elastic hand touched his shoulder, and then gradually moved to his cheek, making people feel cold and frightened.

The feeling was so real, and the steps were getting heavier and heavier, as if something was pulling at the thighs. The sound of crying became clearer and clearer in the ears, making people feel like they were having a mental breakdown.

"I ...... I can't help it......" Wang Yan's voice was full of tremors, and her hands slapped her face indiscriminately. She felt frightened, but even more curious, and her heart seemed to be choked, as if she was about to vomit.

"No, there must be no turning back!"

Jiang Ming's whole body was covered with sweat, and he didn't care about the difference between men and women, his cheek was against Wang Yan, who was distracted, and he protected the other side of her face with one hand, and walked forward with difficulty, emphasizing from time to time that this was an illusion.

Since it wants to lure itself back, it means that it can escape its doom if it does not look back. Turning around and turning back will definitely not be good.

After a long while, the trail changed. Surrounded by the blood-red river of death, countless heads emerged from it, moaning in pain, screaming, asking for help, confiding in the misery of his life, especially the miserable cry of the baby came from behind, which made people trance-like and more unbearable.

However, Jiang Ming will not look back. He knew that mercy would only make it all go short. In this path that resembles a passage to the underworld, only the ruthless can go to the end.

Finally, at the end, a voice with a magnetic surname was heard.

"Congratulations, you have passed the test of the passage to the underworld."
