Under the leadership of the little old man, Kamiyagawa took a turn around the Santu River for a while.

Eventually, the River Styx was found.

Although the name of the Santu River is "Santo", there is actually only one river, and the so-called Santu refers to the three ways to cross the river.

The dead soul came to the River Styx, and first weighed the karma of his life at the Snatcher and the Hangman. Depending on the severity of the sin, Styx will automatically switch the difficulty mode of crossing the river.

Innocent people can easily cross the bridge built by the Seven Treasures of Gold and Silver.

Minor sinners are unable to cross the bridge and have to cross the Styx River on their own. In the case of the Tempus, the River Styx is just a shoal.

Serious sinners, on the other hand, face the Hell mode of the River Styx, the strong Fukase.

Legend has it that the current of the strong Fukase is as fast as an arrow, and the waves are as high as a mountain. Large rocks rolling out of the upper reaches will crush sinners, and sinners will rise to life even if they are broken to death, and then they will be smashed by large rocks again.

Sinners come to the surface and will be shot by arrows. And once the criminal sinks to the bottom, the strong Fukase Orochi will be waiting there.

So as long as you step into Qiangkatome, there is basically no possibility of going out.

On the banks of the River Styx.

"Styx should be in the state of the strong Fukase right now...... Am I a bad person?"

"No, there are no more robbers and hangers, and no one has accused me, and this is probably what the Styx is like at this stage."

In front of the Kamiya River is a terrifying river with turbulent water, like a violent evil dragon, breaking through the mountains and walls, and bursting down violently.

The dark and terrible water was turbulent, and the vicious waves emptied and made loud noises.

The river is full of boulders rolling, undercurrents are creating, and black whirlpools are constantly swirling, with the momentum of engulfing everything. On either side of the river, towering peaks seem to be giants watching this fierce force, while the river relentlessly washes away their foundations, leaving them crumbling.

Although standing by the river, the rich water vapor splashed by the torrent made Kamiyagawa feel no different from standing in the water, and if you stumble slightly, you will be swept away by the turbulent current, and you will never be able to break free again, and you will fall into the abyss.

Kamiyagawa stood on the shore and looked across the river with his eyes condensed.

Above the river, there is a mixture of rapids and mist, and visibility is low. Moreover, the water surface of the strong deep se is extremely vast, and the black and swarthy pieces are twisted together, even if [Autumn Slash] provides a visual bonus, it is still impossible to see the end at a glance.

"There's no possibility of crossing this river on its own, is it?"

Kamiya smacked his tongue and then called out the whale.

The little whale dragged its big tail and appeared in the *** call.

Kamiyagawa: "Can your whale spirit move in this water?"

In the face of the pitch-black and turbulent strong abyss, the calf seemed to be a little worried, and its big tail swayed uneasily. It's obviously a sea monster, but I'm afraid of going into the water.

But he still didn't hesitate to summon his whale spirit.

As soon as the huge whale made of white bones entered the River Styx, it heard a rumbling sound and a mournful whale chirp.

Kamiya didn't even see what was happening, and a dark blue fluorophore rose from the water and returned to the conch in the hands of the whale.

The whale that had just tried to go into the water should be gone.

The little whale took a little effort to explain the situation with Kamiya - there were many big rocks under the water, rumbling over, and the whale spirit couldn't dodge.

It seems that forcing the crossing of the water will not work.

Kamiya pondered for a few seconds, and then summoned another Shikigami: "Urtengu."

"Wow!"

The tengu appears as a crow and stands on the head of the whale.

"Do you think the River Styx can fly over it?" Kamiya asks Tengu.

It's another simple attempt.

Instead of flying directly across the River Styx, the Utengu tried to hover the river bank for a while.

In the end, he came to the conclusion that the wind and waves on the strong Fukase were too strong, and there was a strange power entrenched, and if he tried to fly, he might be able to barely fly for a while, but it was estimated that he would not last long

It will be swept into the river by the wind.

If you fall into the river, it will be the same fate as the whale spirit just now.

"You can't force it in the water or in the air. It may also be that with the current strength of the Turning Whale and the Utengu, they can't force the crossing, and for now, they can only cross the Santu River in the prescribed way."

Kamiyagawa got a little useful information about the River Styx.

As for the two boys in the family, they were quite frustrated because they didn't help the head of the family.

Kamiya didn't care much about that, though, and it wasn't their fault.

If the River Styx could be crossed so easily, it would seem abnormal.

After briefly comforting the whale and the black dog, Kamiyagawa called them all back, and only took the little old man to explore along the riverbank.

I walked for about ten minutes.

The little old man standing on Kamiyagawa's shoulder suddenly leaned close to his master's ear and shouted, and raised his hand to point forward. But the sound of the water was too loud, so his voice was still inaudible.

Something must have been discovered.

Looking in the direction of the scout's finger, you could see a little glimmer of light the size of a grain of rice swaying from side to side somewhere in the pitch-black abyss ahead.

The light was a dark blue, too inconspicuous compared to the vastness of the River Styx.

It's like a dark curtain, poking a small hole in the light with a thin needle.

"You go back to the Bird Bronze Match first."

Kamiya looked at the light on the River Styx, thought for a moment, first called the little old man back, and then continued to walk along the riverbank with an unsheathed text in his hand.

Where the dark and turbulent River Styx overlapped with the white mist, the small blue light continued to flicker. But no matter how much you walked forward, the distance between Kamiya and the light didn't seem to be closer.

The two sides always kept a fixed distance.

"Where the hell is that thing?"

And when Kamiyagawa stopped and thought for a while, he suddenly had a feeling-

Something in the River Styx seemed to notice him.

As soon as this feeling was created, the light that was originally the size of a grain of rice suddenly magnified, and in an instant, it was the size of a wheel.

It flickered faintly in front of Kamiya.

At this time, I can also see what this light is, it is a lantern, the shape of a horseshoe lamp, but the whole body emits a strange dark blue light, like a fluttering ghost fire.

The lantern hung from the side of a small wooden boat, half of which was completely soaked in the water of the River Styx, but the light was not extinguished.

As for the wooden boat with the lamp, it was completely wooden, old and narrow, and it looked like it could accommodate about a dozen people.

"The ferry boat on the River Styx?"

This kind of wooden boat with an extremely simple and simple shape, Kamiyagawa has only seen it in film and television works.

The small wooden boat floated on the vast river Styx, like a small dead leaf floating on the boundless sea, and the old hull creaked with the tide left and right, making people look insecure.

Wrecked whales will be smashed into the River Styx, and although this simple wooden boat situation seems dangerous and dangerous, it can float on the River Styx.

There's really no place to reason.

On the wooden boat stood two tall and thin figures, unusually tall, at least two and a half meters tall, both dressed in black cloak robes and holding wooden oars.

The bodies of the two were tightly covered, and no other body parts were visible except for the wizened and thin palms of the dry branches.

Even under the cloak it was pitch black, like a dead black hole, gloomy and depressing, and it was completely impossible to see what was inside.

"If this wooden boat with a horseshoe lamp is a Styx ferry, then these two figures must be the boatmen of the Styx?"

Kamiyagawa holds a text in his left hand, his thumb resting on the blade, ready to push the edge of the knife out of the scabbard.

He shrunk slightly, looking back and forth at the two men on the boat.

Snatch the clothes and hang the clothes

Weng and the little ghost of the buried head river are incomparably bad in the three ways, and the desire to attack is extremely strong, who can guarantee that the ferryman on the River Styx is a good thing?

After hesitating for a while, Kamiya secretly made a decision in his heart, and reached out and took out the [Six Dao Money] that had been prepared a long time ago.

According to legend, the six coins were used to cross the River Styx.

Let's try it first, you have to try this kind of prop in your hand, and see if these two ferrymen are willing to take the money and cross themselves directly to the other side.

Six quaint copper coins overlapped slightly in Kamiya's palms, lined up a little, and displayed to the two boatmen.

However, they didn't react to the six coins, and still stood still in the bow of the ship, like two silent statues of curiosity, black and pressing.

Waves continued to splash under the boats, and the dark and cold water of the river hit the two boatmen, flapping and flipping their wide, already soaked black robes.

"Don't?"

Kamiya was a little surprised, this is not quite the same as the legend.

Slightly embarrassed to hold the six coins and show them for a while, the two boatmen still did not have a decent reaction.

There was no way, Kamiya could only put away the props for the time being.

But as soon as the coin was collected, one of the boatmen moved, stretching out his long, shriveled palm, fingers slowly bent and released.

A quirky and stiff beckoning motion.

The cuffs of the wide black robe shook off with his movements, but the cuffs were also full of black holes, and except for the exposed palms, the other body parts covered under the clothes were completely invisible.

"He told me to go up?" Kamiyagawa roughly understood what the boatman meant.

You're beckoning yourself to board, right?

And it doesn't seem to have received the material money.

It's weird to think about these two boat ladies this way.

Or, is Santu Chuanli not interested in collecting money privately now?

"I'm tired."

After a brief hesitation, Kamiyagawa silently clenched the scabbard in his hand, his eyes always kept his eyes in a state of contraction, and he stepped onto the ferry.

Squeak –

The ferryman's oars pushed the shore, and the small wooden boat headed for the steamy waters of Tsukatome.

As soon as the ship left the shore, Kamiya heard some strange noises.

When I was on the shore before, I could hear the sound of the rushing water, and I couldn't notice any other sounds.

But when they reached the water, all the movements that they had been inaudible were revealed.

The water was filled with the sound of boulders colliding, and the cries and wails of pain, and the sounds of horror and screams were mixed in with the roaring water, one over the other.

The sound of hell, that's about it.

The dark and terrifying strong Fukase, the evil waves are emptied, and the terrifying noise is endless. Boulders roll at the bottom of the river, anacondas lurk, and their souls turn upside down in the undercurrent.

The little raft floated in such an environment, completely involuntarily, and the horseshoe lamp hung on the side of the boat and swayed, and occasionally collided with the waves and the hull of the boat, making a strange crashing sound that resembled a groan of pain.

Then the wooden boat was pushed farther and farther away by the waves, and gradually disappeared into the mist, and the light of the lantern also turned into a little point of light the size of a grain of rice on the vast water, and gradually disappeared......

……

Kamiyagawa didn't know how long the ferry boat had been floating on Qiangfugase, or where he had been.

Anyway, now staying on the boat and looking out, the dark waves stir up the white mist, and the front and back are all the same.

As for the two boatmen on the River Styx, they didn't do much work the whole time, they didn't even paddle, they just went with the flow, and let the boats roll up and down in the surging waves.

Just as Kamiya felt a little impatient, the wooden boat suddenly shook violently.

It seemed that something was hitting the hull of the ship underwater.

Immediately afterward, a neat shout was heard from the mist, and the voice rang out from all directions: "Yasa! Yasa!"

"Yasa" is the shouting sound of rowing.

"It's finally here."

Kamiyagawa held down the hilt of his sword and looked around, while also keeping his eyes on the two Styx boatmen at the bow of the boat.

Originally, he didn't think the two ferrymen had any good intentions.

They didn't even take six dollars!

Bang bang bang.

Kamiya heard the clapping.

In the strong Fukase, where the noise shook the sky, the sound of this slapping was also very clear.

It appears to be someone slapping the hull of the boat hard in the water.

Bang bang, bang bang!

Soon, the sound of wet slapping came from the water, and the whole wooden boat seemed to be completely surrounded by something underwater.

Then, I saw a shriveled palm poking out of the dark river water, and vigorously climbed the boat gang beside Kamiya.

The fingers like dead branches shook violently twice, and a voice could be clearly heard coming from under the surface of the water where the arm was: "Gollum...... Lend me a spoon...... Grunt."

In the face of such a grotesque and terrifying scene, Kamiya did not panic at all, but grinned: "Is the boat ghost all this kind of routine? Even on the River Styx."

He already knew what was underwater, and "Strange Tales of Things" gave hints.

Even the two "ferrymen" were the same.

The name given to them by the system is - [Ghost of the Strong Fukasefune]

In Japanese folklore, if someone dies on a boat, they will turn into a boat ghost.

This kind of undead tale usually appears in groups, and when they appear, they will hang their chin on the boat gang and beckon, "Come with us?"

It is also said that the ghosts of the boats would borrow the handles from the people on the boats, and once they had the tools, they would turn the handles upside down, and the water magically began to flow into the boats until they could no longer fit in the boats.

On the smaller fishing boats, the boat ghosts will even scoop water into the boat one by one until the boat sinks.

In short, according to the folk saying, when you encounter a boat ghost borrowing a spoon, you must make a hole in the bottom of the spoon, or simply bring a bottomless spoon before going to sea.

And these boat ghosts on the strong deep seze, I don't know what the origin is, maybe it is the souls of those wicked people who are constantly tormented here?

Probably because of the special background of their birth, and carrying high-end prefix mods such as "strong deep se", the boat ghosts here are quite strong. The strength of the individual is above D, and the two who act as "ferrymen" even have C-level.

Regarding the two people who control the ferry, Kamiya is a little uncertain.

He wasn't sure if the boat ghost was posing as a ferryman, or if the boatman on the River Styx was a boat ghost.

But it doesn't matter if it's not.

Anyway, the face has been torn, even if these two boat ghosts are really the Yin Gang on the Santu River?

Kamiyagawa's kill is not bad for one or two.

"I don't have a handle here, so try this!"

Kamiya quickly flipped his body, and the [Banshee] appeared in his palm, and the bronze bayonet popped out.

Winter!

There was a muffled sound.

Kamiya struck before the ghost of the boat, and the bayonet of the musket pierced through the palm of the hand that had climbed up from the bottom of the water, nailing it to the gang.

And that's not all.

On the small wooden boat that shook violently, Kamiyagawa leaned over and rushed forward with agility, his movements were not affected by the field at all, and he slashed straight towards the ghost of the black-clothed boat on the bow of the boat!

"I've been trying to cut you for a long time!"

The indigo-colored smart sword light flickered, and the black robe that emitted moisture on the boat ghost burst out.

Beneath the gap in the robe, countless strange shapes agitated in an instant.

The sound of flesh and skin clashing kept coming.

Several severed limbs that had been severed by a single word rolled out of their robes, and then there was a "pop" from the cracked black

Under the robe, the number of thin palms that could not be distinguished was crowded out!

Underneath the ghost's robes, there was nothing else or any other body tissue, all this skinny oozing arm.

"Lend me a spoon...... Come with us, right?"

The palms of the hands are talking.
