Chapter XXVII

After dealing with a group of monsters that came to chase them again, the four of Percy rushed to the penultimate stop on the road to the underworld - the [Lotus Nightclub] in Las Vegas. Here, the remnants of an ancient tribe in the world are hidden, the lotus-eaters.

The Lotus Eaters, a group of people who survived from very ancient times, are now less than 300 people. Legend has it that this tribe feeds on the Forgetfulness Lotus Fruit and possesses a powerful illusion that can sink people. If it is used in conjunction with the Forgetfulness Fruit, even if the weak gods don't pay attention, they will fall into their path and fall completely. []

This is a powerful force that is close to the priesthood and is only separated by a thin line from the law. Percy, who has little experience, will be easily fooled.

Sure enough, after politely tasting the Forgetfulness Lotus, the four of them only felt that after a period of dizziness, they had almost forgotten everything except their own names.

Four, oh, it should be three! Percy, Glover, and Annabeth were all caught in a carnival, and Luke quietly disappeared from the sight of the three after sneering. The three people who were playing very high at the moment didn't realize this situation at all.

…… Day 5......

"Rick, you old immortal, do you want to swallow the Scepter of Thunder alone?" In a large hall like an auditorium, a bald man slammed the table and laughed very cruelly, "You're not afraid that you don't have this appetite and end up dying?!" Zeus, you're not so easy to fool......"

In the hall, there were six people, five men and one woman. Among them, sitting at the top is an old man in his fifties who gives people a sense of excessive shrewdness and even a little treacherous, he is Rick in the mouth of the bald man, the patriarch of the Lotus Eater tribe. The other five are all leaders of several big forces in the dark world.

"It's been turned upside down." A peach-eyed man with a pale face pinched his orchid finger and gently took a sip of tea, unhurried, every word was very clear, and it made people feel a little uncomfortable: "Zeus has lost the Thunder Scepter for more than five months, 9 days, and there are still 9 days to make up half a year." Hehe, once that happens, Zeus's priesthood will be weakened by half, with his power**, how can he bear it! Patriarch Rick, you're playing with fire......"

Rick didn't move, just listened with a smile on his face, and thought of himself as a passing soy sauce party.

A very ordinary-looking young man scolded the old fox and asked: "Patriarch Rick, the consequences of this incident are very clear in everyone's hearts, I believe that the patriarch is even more like a mirror, it is clear, Zeus, who has gone crazy, will not care about the balance of this world, the little brother is puzzled, where is the Rick patriarch sure that he can resist Zeus's anger?" ”

Having said that, Rick is too unkind to be a turtle again, his two mustaches shook, his thin lips moved slightly, and he said slowly: "You are all coerced by Zeus to come to recover the Thunder Scepter, and the losses of several clans are also very large these days, what are you dissatisfied with?" ”

Well, what does this guy mean? Do you still want to plot against us? When a few people thought of this possibility, they couldn't help but sneer secretly, and their hearts were full of disdain, just because you hundreds of people also want to overthrow Zeus, you really don't know whether to live or die!

Rick's eyes rolled wildly, and he took the reaction of the five people into his eyes, and smiled: "The old man guesses that a few people must think that I am beyond my strength and kill myself, right?" ”

The bald man laughed unceremoniously: "Old guy, it turns out that you know you can't do it, hahaha......"

Rick knew that this bald guy who looked rough and had no scheming was actually a vicious character in his heart, so he didn't think it was wrong, he clapped his hands lightly, smiled secretly, and said, "Today, the old man will introduce a person to everyone here......

………… Divide......... Cut......... Line............

In the middle of the night, Percy suddenly said that he was a little tired and wanted to rest for a while, so he lightly touched a few bewitching beauties beside him, and then staggered into a suite that was luxurious enough to make Oreo cry, and fell asleep, snoring as rough as a dead pig in a few minutes.

"Chief, that kid has slept soundly." In the surveillance room, a man with a three-petaled lotus tattoo on his forehead takes his eyes off the screen, picks up a phone, and reports Percy's situation to someone on the other end.

"That kid is very powerful, don't let your guard down, remember that you must let him take a piece of Forgetfulness every half an hour, otherwise there will be a danger of getting out of control!" In the microphone, the voice of the chief pipe was low and cold.

"Yes!" The man was startled and instinctively replied in a loud voice. As soon as the microphone was lowered, he picked up another phone and whispered to a female tribesman to do everything she could to feed a piece of Forgetfulness into Percy's mouth.

However, he didn't notice that just as he was listening intently to his superiors' instructions, the luxurious blanket that covered Percy suddenly trembled slightly, and then some parts of the body rose or fell and quietly changed a little.

This situation is like being suddenly replaced by a person who is as similar to Percy's size as nine out of nine under a thick blanket!

At the same time, on the naturally textured wooden floor, a fine speck as light as catkins drifted down the edge of the corner door with a subtle air flow from nowhere, drifting through the corridor, all the way to the basement of the Lotus Nightclub, and stopped in a dark room like an empty utility room.

Through the faint light from nowhere, a strange pattern appeared on the floor of the room.

It is a three-layered concentric circle, the outermost layer depicts a flaming flame-like ornamental pattern, the middle two circular areas are filled with dazzling intricate lines, and the innermost circular area is succinctly drawn with two lines in the form of crossings, dividing the circle into four fan-shaped areas.

The tiny and light dust swirled around the picture for a while, and suddenly it trembled violently as if it had made up its mind, and shot straight into the center of the ring, like thunder and lightning, and with a single flash, it reached the intersection.

Suddenly, the dust flickered, the glimmer brightened, and an irregular thirty-polygonal color brand appeared.

The rusty sign turned slightly, turned a certain corner to that intersection, slowly sank, and made a soft "drop" sound, completely submerged in it, and disappeared. It's hard to imagine that a piece of slap was swallowed up by that little dot.

Kaka Ka ...... Thundered...... There was a dull sound of the machine running, and the two rings spun rapidly in an instant, and after thirty seconds they suddenly stopped, and the originally chaotic lines in the area suddenly changed into a delicate and complex lotus picture.

After the picture was assembled, the circular area in the middle made a muffled "thump" and suddenly sagged. The two rings sank, and in a matter of seconds, a hole large enough to hold a person appeared in the room.

The dust trembled with excitement and shot in!

After sending off the five bald men, Rick felt comfortable physically and mentally, he had never felt so happy as today, he was so excited that it was a little difficult to sleep, and he tossed in bed until nearly midnight before he felt a little sleepy.

However, just as his upper and lower eyelids were fighting, and he was about to fall asleep, his heart pounded, and the violent contraction drove away all his sleepiness, and his heart palpitated!

"What's wrong?!" Covering his heart, Rick felt his heart pounding as if it was about to pop out of his chest, and a feeling of palpitations that didn't come enveloped him, making him very overwhelmed.

"Something big must have happened!" Rick's mouth was dry, and large beads of sweat seeped through his skin, sliding across his face and wetting his nightgown, leaving him cold on his hands and feet.

Suddenly remembering something, Rick grabbed a phone on the bedside and roared in a hurried tone, "Is there anything new about that kid Percy?!" ”

The man on the other side was frightened by Rick's tone, and only replied cautiously after three seconds: "Patriarch, that kid didn't wake up, he slept soundly......"

"Did you sleep soundly...... That's good......" Rick knew that his subordinates would not dare to hide anything, and the heart that had been mentioned in his throat was about to fall back into his stomach as soon as he loosened his mind.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration -

Wrong! No, no, no, no!!

Rick's eyes widened, and his whole body froze: people who eat the fruit of forgetting worries will not feel tired!!

Finished...... Rick went so weak that he could barely hold the microphone. He only felt that his eyes were black, and his whole body was on the verge of collapse, and he would go completely crazy at any time!

My Lotus Eater clan has been working hard for so many years, is it really going to be destroyed in my hands......

No way! I will never allow it! Rick held back the tiredness that welled up from the depths of his soul and pressed the microphone to his ear again with his trembling right hand. Over there, the patriarch didn't speak, and the man didn't dare to walk away.

"Go see how that kid is doing!" Holding back these words word by word, Rick's last bit of strength was drained, and he suddenly went limp, and fell on the bed. The big bed that used to make him feel comfortable physically and mentally seemed to have become ice for thousands of years, and it was so cold that Rick couldn't stop shivering.

Hehe...... Just as Rick's eyes were glazed, not knowing what to do, and he was blankly waiting for an answer on the other end of the phone, a mocking chuckle sounded in his ears, like a basin of ice water, completely extinguishing the last trace of luck in his heart!

………… Divide......... Cut......... Line............

Somewhere on the eastern side of the Pacific Ocean, a silver tent the size of a small mountain bag collided with the current, and unconsciously drifted to the edge of the west coast of the Pacific Ocean, the seabed of the east coast of the United States, in less than a day's effort, and then was pushed down by several waves and thrown onto the beach, a remote and dense coconut grove.

A warm and humid sea breeze blew, and the silver tent shrank rapidly as if it had shrunk into water, instantly shrinking to the size of a fist, and was grabbed by a man. This person is none other than Luo Tian.

Putting away the silver tent, Luo Tian condensed his spiritual power into a line and swept forward like a radar, and the surrounding terrain was instantly imprinted in his mind. Compared with the world topographic map a little, Luo Tian couldn't help but show a look of astonishment on his face.

East Coast, and less than two minutes from Los Angeles (at the speed of a certain law)!

Isn't this the address of Hollywood...... Luo Tian smiled strangely, turned into a streamer of light, and disappeared. If Oreo is right about what he has done, the entrance to the underworld is somewhere in Hollywood.

The underworld, that sounds interesting......
