Demigod Chapter 12 Crusade
Charon stood at the bow of the ship and silently turned the ship in the direction of the mouth of the cave, which was a strange thing, and it was a hell, a mountain said there was. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"I apologize for what I just did, the river of hatred can magnify a person's ugliness and create a sense of hatred for others. Even the god who crossed the river could lose his divinity, and its river god, Styx, was the daughter of Okanos. Sorry, I'm babbling on and on. Selena stroked her hair gently.
"It's okay, we're all about to popularize your knowledge. Yi Min bared his white teeth and smiled at her. The colors on his body were getting brighter, and the rest of us were looking a lot duller.
I also reflected on what I had just done, and indeed, I had an inexplicably disgusting feeling for all three of them. Now think about how ridiculous your actions were.
"It's time to get off the boat," Selena quickly stood up. "We have to hurry, Lin An and Wang Yimin are about to be pulled back by the ring. ”
Charon rowed the boat to shore and came to a steady stop with great skill. Selena hurried ashore, desperate to save her boyfriend. When I came ashore, I turned to look at Charon, who was silently turning the bow of the boat. I don't know why, but a strange thought popped into my mind, and I bowed to Charon. To be honest, I myself was intimidated by this gesture and just wanted to express my endless gratitude to him. Since I don't know if he has a face or not, he can only defend himself through this way. Charon had collected the gold, but he could have let us fight on the Styx River, but he prevented us from falling into the river. Know how many gods in this hell want us never to go back.
"Ah Yi!" I looked at Selena's cry to the entrance of the cave. A figure gradually became clearer, and through the dim light, it could be discerned that this was Xu Yi. He dragged his right leg and limped slowly towards us. His gaze was glazed and lackluster, and his pale face was covered with viscous liquid. The clothes were tattered, and the yellow-green liquid was all over the body. The belly swelled like a woman who was five months pregnant.
"Searle?" Xu Yi let out a low, hoarse voice. "Quick.. Come on. ”
"No, I'm here to save you, let's go back. Selena hurriedly ran over and hugged Xu Yi, like a bird returning to her nest, with a satisfied expression on her face.
"No, there's a problem, call her back. Lin An whispered next to me. Then he also ran over and grabbed Selena's arm. "Let's go, Xu Yi can't live anymore. ”
"What are you talking about, we came to save him. Selena broke free of Lin An. "If Ah Yi doesn't leave, I won't leave. ”
"He's right, ...... quickly," Xu Yi continued to say in a hoarse voice. Suddenly, his mouth was wide open, and his eyes tended to pop out of the hole like a glass ball. A few tentacle-like objects protruded from his mouth, and my stomach churned at the sight. Selena yelled and hurriedly let go of her hand, she leaned on Lin An's body and kept retreating. I really can't look directly at what will happen to Xu Yi next.
"What is this?" Yi Min looked behind me, his eyes wide open.
I felt a chill in my back and I slowly turned around to see several spiders the size of a wolfdog crawling towards me. To make matters worse, there were spiders crawling all around us, and they had already surrounded the five of us!
Xu Yi's stomach was deflated, and instead a big spider was tearing his mouth and crawling out of his stomach, and I felt the hairs all over my body stand up in fright from this terrifying and disgusting scene. Selena fell to her knees as if she had lost her support, and Lin An dragged her closer in our direction, trying to keep him away from the spider.
However, it didn't work, because except in the direction of the Styx River and the mouth of the cave, there were spiders pressing closely. I try not to pay attention to their ugly and abominable faces.
"Hanhan, how many spiders can your lightning kill at one time?" Yi Min whispered in my ear.
"I don't know, I'll try. "I began to pray to my father, whom I had never met, that the power of lightning would come out of my hands.
Nothing happened.
I started to get nervous, why didn't it work, did my father really abandon me?
I prayed again.
Still nothing happened.
"What's the matter, where is the lightning?" Yi Min pointed his golden sword at the spider swarm in front of him with both hands, his voice already trembling.
"I don't know what's going on, the lightning never comes out. I replied in a more hurried voice.
"I see, this is hell, and it is not under the jurisdiction of Zeus, so lightning can't hack here. "Lin An has pulled Selena to our side, he explained to us.
At this time, Selena sat on the ground, and kept repeating in a whisper: "He's dead, he's dead......"
"Then what should we do, are we going to be eaten by these ugly monsters?" Yi Min had already begun to wield the golden sword in his hand, and the golden light behind him was shining brighter and brighter.
I also held the golden dagger tightly, this dagger that can kill gods must be able to beat these mutant spiders as well. But there are so many of them, I guess I didn't have time to kill one, and I went into their stomachs.
Yi Min kept shouting Selena's name, trying to save her from her trance, but at this time, for Selena, who was in hell and lost her feelings, rescuing her boyfriend was all her heart's support, but at this time, Xu Yi was lying there in a disfigured manner, lying so quietly. Her collapse was inevitable.
"Quick, Selena, we need Sleeping Powder or some other useful potion, or we'll all die here. Yi Min shouted as he waved his golden sword indiscriminately.
I heard the "click" sound of spiders' mouths, as if we were chewing on these delicacies.
"Brother An, what do you suggest?" At this time, I can only turn to Lin An for help, I really hope that he can continue to bring unexpected things and solve this problem with his clever brain. I don't have that idea of being on the Styx River at all.
"If you want me to say," Lin paused. "Let it be!"
It can be said that my thoughts at this time are in the hope that I can stay in hell with a good death, but this seems to be an extravagant hope.
Suddenly, a singing voice came to my ears. I'm embarrassed by my ridiculous brain now, when has it been, and the singing still echoes in my head, maybe there's something wrong with my nerves.
"Who sang this song?" Yi Min shouted.
This singing voice is very delicate, it is a girl's singing. It was crisp and silky, like a stream of warm water gliding over my ears, and I couldn't help but indulge in it. I let go of the golden dagger in my hand, and the only thing I wanted to do was relax and listen to the sound of heaven in silence.
The spiders around us also behaved strangely, and they began to shift their movements, slowly crawling towards the river, one by one, into the Styx River. It seems to be guided by the singing.
I saw the boat that had just picked us up on the river, and it was quietly parked on the river. Charon stood at the bow facing us, holding in his hand a long stick with two pointed ends at the top, in the shape of a "U", like a giant fork. A piece resembling a mermaid's tail hung from the side of the boat. Could it be that there are mermaids in this world?
The spiders on the shore silently bypassed us into the rippleless river, and we were immersed in the song while watching the amazing scene before us. All the spiders sank to the bottom of the river, and Charon and his boat disappeared from view.
"Charon has come to our aid?" I immediately began to wonder as I came back from the song. Maybe he's reciprocating my gratitude.
"No, that's not Charon. Lin An looked into the distance and said. "Look at his weapon, it should be a two-strand knife, and that person is Hades. ”
"Hades?" I was shocked. I read in the book that Hades is one of the three giants of the twelve main gods, the elder brother of Zeus, and also the administrator of the underworld, the god of the underworld. By the way, isn't that my uncle?
"Did Hades come to help us? Yi Min muttered as he picked up the sword he had dropped while listening to the song.
A roar rang out at the mouth of the cave, fiery eyes that seemed to pierce us, and once again seeing Alastair still didn't diminish the fear in my heart. His breath could blow us into the river, and we stared at him blankly, not knowing what fear was.
"Why," Alastair said in a deafening voice. "Why do you have to break in?"
"You killed my friend and imprisoned Flora, either of which could have motivated me to come here. I glared at him and flashed the golden dagger. "If you can resurrect my friend and hand over Flora, we will be spared from war. I said as I brandished the golden dagger, hoping to give him some intimidation.
Sure enough, this trick had a certain effect, and Alastair's body trembled. I suddenly felt a surge in confidence.
"War-free pact, yes. His voice was still strong and powerful. "You, come with me. He pointed his finger at me.
I was shocked that a god of execution was going to negotiate with me? Or maybe it's a conspiracy where he wants me to go with him and then take the opportunity to kill me. Again, my heart was nervous, but thinking that I had a golden dagger in my hand, I thought I could try it.
"Don't, Hanhan, this is a trap, he wants to kill you. Yi Min shouted at me. His whole body was covered in golden light, and it looked like he was going to be back to the normal world soon.
I think it's actually a wise decision to go, and it would be best if I could avoid a war. After all, we have the Golden Dagger, and Alastair probably doesn't want to do it, no matter what conditions he offers, as long as he can resurrect Xu Yi and rescue Flora, I can accept it.
I looked at Lin An and saw that he was holding his chin in his hand and was lost in thought. Behind the spectacle lenses, he seemed to be puzzled by something. He nodded at me.
"Go ahead. ”
I looked back at Yimin, gave him a determined look, told him to rest assured, and walked over to Alastair.
"I'll just wait outside, and if something happens, I'll call out, my golden sword can split stones!" Yi Min said. He seemed to want Alastair to know that he didn't have to play any tricks, and that we could all handle it.
I followed Alastair into his cave, which could be described as a finger missing, or rather a sight to be invisible.
Alastair touched me and gestured for his position. I turned around and felt him right in front of me. A smell of blood hit my nose.
"Listen, I know what you want. He opened my hand and placed a cool thing on my hand. Strangely, there is no echo in the entire hole.
"What is this?"
"The key to the garden. ”
When I heard this, I suddenly felt very hairy inside. According to the instructions of the goddess Hera, the existence of the Garden of the Gods should be kept absolutely secret, and even the teacher Okanos did not know about it. But Alastair not only knew, but got the key.
"Flora is no longer here, but she asked me to pass on this key to you. Believe it or not, I'm just an ordinary god of execution, and I can't do anything like implanting spider eggs into a human body. But trust me, I didn't hurt him, and the key is real. ”
"Then why do you do this?"
"I don't have time to explain those. No matter what I did, the result was inevitable death, so I chose this path. Your friend's body is dead, but my soul has been placed in mine. I see that your golden friend is about to return to the world, let him take me, and I can guarantee that your friend's soul will return to you intact. ”
That sounds like a good piece of advice, and I'm thrilled to know that Xu Yi has a chance to be resurrected. And even if Alastair wants to play any tricks, we have a golden dagger against him. But more questions arose as to why Alastair said he was going to die, and that he knew about the garden. It sounds like he's scared of something, is there a bigger conspiracy behind this?
Alastair and I walked out of the cave to find that Yi Min's body was moving backwards.
"I'm going back!" he shouted to me.
"Wait a minute," I said quickly. "Trust me, pull Alastair. ”
He looked at me suspiciously, but did as he could. Alastair straddled the back of his neck with one hand, and they sped off into the distance.
Suddenly.
A dark shadow flashed across the sky, and Alastair's body exploded in the air.
I stared blankly at the air, what's going on?
The black shadow rushed towards us quickly, and Lin An quickly spun his ring. The golden light behind him also became very intense, he carried Selena on his back, grabbed my arm and shouted, "Hold me, let's go!"
I hugged his body tightly and closed my eyes. Let the whirring wind flash in my ears.
