Chapter 12: Achilles' Heel

"Achilles, take off your clothes. ”

"That's not good, okay? Mom. ”

"Hurry up and take it off, there's no time!"

......

Su Muran took off her clothes whimsically under the urging of Thetis, and then was ruthlessly pressed into the water by her.

"Ah!!!!!h

It hurts! The pain all over his body was as if he had been cut by a knife, and Su Muran immediately screamed. He dared to swear to the heavens that the feeling of touching the river was ten thousand times more painful than the feeling he felt when he was stabbed by the wooden sword yesterday!

Su Muran struggled to climb out of the river, but Titi grabbed his head without hesitation and pressed it into the water.

"Listen, Achilles. Thetis's trembling voice came from behind him, "The pain is only temporary, and if you can't bear it now, you will suffer a hundred times more in the future than you do now." ”

Su Muran forced himself to stop the idea of getting out of the water, he gritted his teeth and persevered, but the huge pain made his body spasm uncontrollably.

Titis grabbed Su Muran's heels tightly with both hands, her eyes were already full of tears, if she could, she was really willing to bear this inhuman torture on behalf of her son, but there are always some things in this world that others can't replace, and the same is true of this matter in front of her.

As time passed, Su Muran's body trembled more violently, and he felt that the muscles on his cheeks were as hard as iron stone.

Thetis couldn't help crying, although it was Su Muran who was suffering, but her heart was as uncomfortable as a knife. Crystal tears fell into the dark water, gradually merging with the river, and she muttered, "I'm sorry, Achilles, if there was any other way, my mother would never have brought you here." ”

However, Su Muran's consciousness was now a little blurred, and he couldn't hear what Thetis was talking about at all.

The black waves rolled, and the figure of a woman slowly emerged from the water, it was Styx!

"Thetis, you don't need to blame yourself, although Achilles is very uncomfortable now, it will be good for him in the future. Sticker paused, and said, "Pain will make him strong, anger will calm him, the body of a god will make him invulnerable, and if you want him out of his doom, be ruthless now." ”

Thetis didn't answer, but the hands that grabbed Su Muran's heels were two points harder.

"Can you give Achilles divine power now? I'm afraid he really can't stand it. Thetis looked at Su Muran, who was already unconsciously curled up in the river, and couldn't help but ask Styx, and she could clearly feel that the divine power in her body was beginning to dissipate.

"It's not time yet, he's just in pain now, not angry, and I'll remind you when I need to. ”

Under the slightly gray sky, the minutes and seconds passed.

I don't know how long it took, Su Muran's curled up body suddenly began to stretch, his fair skin gradually became flushed, and he suddenly struggled to get up from the river.

"It's now!"

With Styx's reminder, Thetis, who had been waiting, immediately poured all the strength of her body into Su Muran's body. Su Muran, who was trembling, immediately calmed down, and his hot skin immediately began to subside.

Since Su Muran was pressed into the water by Titis for the second time, he knew that his mother was serious, so he had to grit his teeth and bear the pain. According to the simple record in the book, Achilles soaked in the river water and directly turned into copper skin and iron bones, he always thought it was very simple, but he didn't expect it to be so difficult!

Bearing this kind of Ling Chi-like pain, Su Muran gradually became confused, and whenever he was about to faint, his consciousness would suddenly clear, and he didn't know what was going on!

It was Stix who made the move, and although she didn't make any special moves, her attention was always on Achilles. There were also demigods who came to soak the river in an attempt to live forever, but in the end, they couldn't bear the pain and fainted, and finally died.

But Su Muran didn't know this, and after repeating this a few times, the nameless fire in his heart immediately burst out, and he couldn't suppress it.

The anger almost made him feel that even the pain in his body had been relieved, but he did not rejoice in the slightest, because the anger had burned his reason dry. At this moment, he just wanted to get up and smash everything around him and vent the anger in his heart.

Just when Su Muran couldn't control it and was about to get up, a cold female voice suddenly sounded in her ears.

"It's now!"

Su Muran was stunned for a moment, and in the next second, a warm air flow penetrated into his body from his heels, and the anger in his heart seemed to be sucked away by something, which made him calm down immediately.

The air flow quickly swam around his body, and wherever it passed, the pain immediately began to lessen.

"To my surprise, Achilles held out for six hours. Styx was also a little surprised, many of the demigods who had come here before couldn't hold out for so long, not to mention that Achilles was just a child.

Su Muran heard an unfamiliar voice coming from behind him, turned his head to look, and found that a beautiful woman was standing beside Thetis looking at him, and immediately took a breath and plunged back into the water.

He's still naked!

Even if she was seen by Thetis, how could she comfort herself that she was an old mother after all. But somehow, a woman stared at herself, what was going on?!

"Yo, the little one is still shy. ”

Stix couldn't help but laugh, this little child's ostrich-like posture was so hilarious. Although the river is very dark, how can she hide it from the eyes of the gods, not to mention that the river is her own incarnation, and she knows everything in the water.

Thetis couldn't stand her son's humiliating performance, and gritted her teeth and said, "Hurry up and raise your head, this is the goddess Styx." ”

What? She's Stix? No wonder the voice sounds so familiar.

Su Muran suddenly remembered that he seemed to have heard this voice on the snowy mountain before. But what does this have to do with him? You can't just hear her voice and shine yourself in front of her! Su Muran has already made up her mind and will never leave the water.

"Little guy, don't hide, I'm the river you are soaking in, and I know very well how many hairs you have. ”

Su Muran was stunned for a moment, he thought about it carefully, it seemed that this was really the case! Thinking of what he looked like just now, he was really embarrassed. Since it's all like this, then just break the jar and break it!

With a "bang", Su Muran's head came out of the water.

Before he could speak, Stix reached out and a black spray slammed into his face.

"Baptism doesn't take effect until it lasts twelve hours, so you'd better try not to show it. ”

What? Su Muran retracted his head back into the water stupidly. Just now he asked me not to hide, and now he wants me not to take the lead, this woman is even more contradictory than my mother.

"I'm sorry I was negligent, Aunt Styx. Thetis hurriedly apologized to Stix, and then tightly grasped Su Muran's heel and continued to transmit divine power.

Aunt Styx, so this woman is her own...... Auntie?!Su Muran's sense of resistance in her heart immediately decreased a lot, and she continued to comfort herself, how can you say that she is also an elder, just watch it.

But something more important now came to his mind, according to the record, although Achilles soaked in the waters of the Styx to gain an invulnerable body, he had a fatal weakness.

Because Thetis held his heels with both hands when she put him in the river to soak, his heels did not gain invulnerability and remained mortal heels. In the end, Achilles died because he was shot in the heel.

Su Muran tried to move his feet, but Thetis immediately grabbed his heels and reprimanded: "Achilles, don't move, otherwise your mother will beat you." ”

Sure enough, Thetis was also holding on to his heels.

A lesson from the previous car, a teacher from the back. How could a wise traveler make such a low-level mistake? Su Muran shook his head proudly, he had to tell Thetis about this.

Hardly poking his head out of the water, "Mom, I have something to ......" A wave slapped on his face, and the river water poured directly into his mouth.

"My heel poof......" is another wave.

"I didn't soak in the water!" After speaking, while the waves had not yet come, Su Muran plunged into the water.

Thetis was stunned for a moment, and as a god, she immediately thought of the consequences, and her face, which was a little pale because of the loss of divine power, turned even paler.

Styx's face also became much more grim, and she frowned and said nothing.

"Maybe I'll hold it in a different place now?" Titis looked at Styx like she was looking at a straw.

"It's useless, the transformation god body will take twelve hours, and if you change it now, Achilles' weakness will become two. Styx shook his head with a cold face, she didn't expect this stubble either.

"What then?" said Thetis was immediately anxious, as if she saw the goddesses of fate smiling mockingly at her, mocking her for her senseless rebellion against fate's arrangement.

Styx looked at Thetis, who was about to cry, and frowned, "Don't worry, Thetis, maybe there is a remedy." ”

"Aunt Styx, please tell me quickly. If it weren't for the fact that her hands were still holding Su Muran's heels, Thetis would almost have pounced on Styx at this moment.

"Since I can't let Achilles' heels soak in the river, then I'll give him the most agile feet in the world, and no matter whose weapon he has, don't want to hurt his heels!"
