Chapter 128: Styx Water General
That night, I didn't have any more insomnia and had a good night's sleep.
To say that youth is really a cost, after a night's rest, the fatigue of the past few days is instantly swept away, and even the mind is much clearer.
I got dressed, washed up, and started packing up what I had to use.
The side pockets of the backpack were filled with dry food and drinking water, and the main pocket was stuffed with ropes and detonators, and gunpowder. The purple cinnabar and the corpse charm were placed in the pocket of the combat uniform, and the tantric iron rod was pinned to the waist.
In addition, a folding sapper shovel was hung on the outside of the backpack, and other things like flint, compass, binoculars, multi-purpose saber, etc., all of which were properly prepared.
For this piece of equipment, it weighs at least forty or fifty pounds.
After I had put my things on my back, I moved around a little and walked out of the house when I found that it didn't interfere with my movements.
Outside the room, the bridge keeper and a few of his men were looking at me with worried faces.
I laughed and said, "What? Secure? ”
The bridge keeper lowered his voice and said, "Bring the communicator and signal adapter, and hide them secretly, so as not to be found and destroyed by others." ”
"Also, the town guard has arrived, and is leading people to secretly search the area around the River Styx. His old man asked me to tell you a word, the ghost tomb is dangerous, if you can't do anything, remember to protect yourself first! ”
I was slightly surprised, I didn't expect the Qinghai Town Guard to come so quickly, and as soon as he arrived, he began to search for the whereabouts of the Blackheart Fairy.
I whispered, "Thank you for me, Lord Keeper." ”
The bridge keeper nodded: "Remember! Delay as much time as possible, if we kill the black-hearted fairy, we will notify you as soon as possible, and you will leave the range of the ghost tomb immediately! ”
"Also, if you can't stand it, you will retreat! The Warden will help you break the precepts once! ”
I don't know what the Qinghai town guard meant by breaking the precepts once, but I think it should help me solve my worries.
It's just that I thought about it, but I still refused: "Don't bother the town guard, I'll try it first!" ”
With that, I put away the communicator and signal adapter, and walked up the river Styx.
According to the information I saw last night, the ghost tomb is at the edge of the River Styx, about seventy kilometers away.
Because the mountains are undulating and the streams are crisscrossed, vehicles cannot cross, and they must keep moving forward on two legs.
On the other side of the river, it was still raining continuously. Although there was no rain on my side, the sky was cloudy and gloomy, giving people a very uncomfortable feeling.
I carried my bags and walked forward, and when I first looked back, I could still see the soulless bridge that straddled east and west. But after crossing the two mountain beams, all that was left was the vast wilderness and the rushing river Styx.
At this time, I slowly picked up my pace, and it was not until noon that I took out dry food and drinking water, and ate myself a round belly.
After eating and drinking, I buried the garbage in the ground and glanced into the River Styx.
I don't know when, several floating corpses appeared in the river.
I frowned, ordinary floating corpses are going down the river, but these floating corpses are swimming upstream, I go fast, and the other party floats fast.
If I walk slowly, the other party will drift slowly.
Obviously, this is an evil creature living in the River Styx, relying on the clouds and rain, and not afraid of the light outside, wanting to go ashore and swallow a few living people.
I didn't take these guys to heart, and continued nonchalantly, but as I walked, there were more and more floating corpses in the River Styx.
Some of the rampant creatures were staring at me with their heads tilted and staring at me even in the water, smiling at the corners of their mouths and showing their jagged fangs.
The bridge keeper is right, the Styx is yin, I don't know how many lonely souls and wild ghosts are hiding in it, if it is an exorcist with a little less strength, there is really a possibility that there will be no return.
I stopped, suddenly raised my voice, and said, "Friend, come out and talk?" ”
There was a burst of laughter from the River Styx, followed by a gruff voice: "We don't talk about food!" ”
Your sister, what has become of this arrogance? Am I food?
I didn't laugh angrily, and said, "It's just a bunch of floating corpses that don't enter the stream, and they dare to use exorcists as food?" ”
These guys aren't very powerful, but they're very annoying.
Because they will follow you all the time, and when the Yin Qi of the River Styx has escaped, they will step ashore and swallow you cleanly, even the bones of a human being.
Ten thousand steps back, even if they don't dare to go ashore, the floating corpses of the River Styx will gather sooner or later, and some other dirty things will be attracted sooner or later.
I thought about it for a while, and walked quickly to the bank of the river, only to see that the river was agitated, constantly lapping on the bank, and those floating corpses felt the yang energy on my body and gathered over one after another.
Countless floating corpses turned pale, their eyelids turned outward, and Bai Sensen's swollen skin looked disgusting and wanted to vomit.
But I smiled and said, "Give you a chance, get out of here now, and save your life." It's not easy to survive in the River Styx, so it's not good not to get your soul scattered when the time comes. ”
I don't know which floating corpse it is, laughing: "Exorcist! We used to be exorcists, too! Later, he fell into the River Styx and died, and it came to such a point! ”
"You are not very old, you are not strong, and the number of people is small, how can you hurt us?"
"Why don't you come and join us, become one of the floating corpses, and travel through the Yin and Yang worlds in the River Styx?"
The corpses shouted, "Join us!" Join us! ”
I was so annoyed that I shouted, "I'm annoyed! ”
I saw that the tantric iron rod was suddenly withdrawn, and a black flame suddenly appeared, and in an instant, the scorching heat collided with the cold river water, producing a pale black mist.
The surrounding corpses scurried around: "Yang Huo! He has a yang fire! ”
I sneered, and the black flame of my soul suddenly fell, and then spread rapidly towards the surface of the water.
In an instant, the nearest floating corpse was ignited by the soul black fire.
These floating corpses of the River Styx are actually transformed by exorcists after their deaths, and they are hidden in the depths of the River Styx on weekdays, and only when there are exorcists on the shore, they will float silently, and then wait for an opportunity to attack the living.
For thousands of years, since the River Styx was diverted to the Yang Dynasty, the River Styx Floating Corpse has been the local tyrant.
This group of things is like hyenas on the grassland, they don't have much ability, but they are numerous, which makes people annoying. Local exorcists who live in the area know that if you don't have any strength, it's best not to walk near the River Styx.
But this time, the group of floating corpses in the River Styx encountered the iron plate.
The soul flame was originally made of the three souls and seven spirits as combustibles, and when I used this thing to ignite the divine fire belt before, it used to make the soul black fire in the tantric iron rod extremely weak.
Now countless floating corpses in the River Styx were densely packed, covering almost the entire surface of the river, and the scattered souls caused this black flame to spread at an extremely fast speed in an instant.
The nearby floating corpse of the River Styx let out a strange cry on the spot, but the flames were raging, and the next one was ignited. In an instant, I saw a black fire sweeping across the river.
The floating corpses of the River Styx, which was still menacing just now, instantly became a group of soft eggs crying for their fathers and mothers, and then they were busy burrowing into the River Styx to extinguish the fire.
But how domineering is the soul black fire? The quicker Styx floating corpse can still keep its three souls and seven spirits, and those who react slowly, before they sink to the bottom, the three souls and seven spirits have already been absorbed as fuel.
I squinted and watched the countless floating corpses go up and down, and I saw the domineering black flames covering the entire surface of the river.
I don't know what's going on, but my heart has become very happy.
It turns out that before I know it, I have become very strong and strong.
I remember when I first debuted, I was still chased to the sky and into the earth by the golden immortal corpse. But now if the golden undead were in front of me, I would be able to beat it all over the ground with a stick.
The soul black fire came and went quickly, only to see the river surging, gradually extinguishing the black flame.
Then the floating corpses of the River Styx, which lost their souls, were swept down by the river, and those floating corpses that were lucky enough to save the three souls and seven spirits were hidden under the water one after another, never daring to come out again.
I didn't care, so I put the tantric iron rod back into my waist, turned around and left.
But at this moment, suddenly a strong man with bare arms came out of the river, his eyes widened with rage, and he roared sharply: "Exorcist! Who gave you the guts! How dare you set fire to the River Styx! ”
"I don't care who you are! Right now! Right away! Immediately! Come back with me and be punished! ”
I turned abruptly and saw the strong man half on the surface and half under the water. He held an iron chain that was intertwined around his arms, but his body fluttered, and he turned out to be a bodyless revenant.
When the strong man saw me looking at him, he said angrily, "You went into the water by yourself!" Or I'll go up and get you! ”
My heart moved and I asked, "Who are you?" ”
The strong man laughed, "I am the Thunder Commander under the command of the Lord of the River Styx!" Take charge of the tributaries of the River Styx! Exorcist! You don't even know me, and you dare to walk on the edge of the River Styx? ”
I suddenly remembered some of the news I had read in the book, and immediately gasped, the people of the Lord of Styx?
You must know that the River Styx runs through the eighteen layers of hell and flows through the Xudu Underworld, during which it meanders and flows, and it is the most important river in the underground world.
Such a river has naturally given birth to countless powerful guys.
Among them is the Lord of the River Styx, who is in charge of one hundred and eight tributaries of the River Styx. In each tributary, there is a water general who guards it.
All exorcists who die in the River Styx, both in body and soul, belong to the River Styx and are not subject to the Temptation Capital.
And the task of the water general is to accept these dead people of the Styx, and then, according to the rules of the Styx, those who should be sent to the Styx Mansion will be sent to the Styx Mansion, and those who should be disposed of on the spot will be disposed of on the spot.
I thought that these things were just rumors in the book, and they might not be credible. Because in the Styx, where there is no curse, people come and go, and there is no Styx water coming out to find trouble.
But I never expected that I would light a fire in the middle of the River Styx and burn out a thunderous water general.
This guy even wants to catch me in the River Styx and be punished? Are you kidding?
