Chapter 269: Hades' Obstruction
"That's right, my name is Melachros, and I just died......
Melagolos looked very excited, after all, the souls around him were all puppets without any senses, and the months spent in hell had almost driven him crazy.
After looking at Hermes and Hercules who rushed over, Zheng Shu let go of his body, and Hermes took the initiative to continue talking with Melagaros.
Sure enough, as a god specializing in guiding the undead, after Hermes appeared, Melaculus was obviously much more relaxed, and babbled to make his origin clear.
However, Zheng Shu was in no mood to care about what he was talking about now, but thought about the throbbing that he had suddenly appeared just now.
Looking at it like this, it seems that the soul of the monster just now caused this throbbing that appeared in him.
According to Zheng Shu's thoughts, he should have chased after him directly and asked for clarification, but because of the throbbing in his heart, his reaction was a beat slower, and when he came back to his senses, the soul of a monster that was originally so big suddenly disappeared.
"The ...... of the Horse-Riding What the hell is going on, I'm starting to get a little grumpy now. Zheng Shu secretly gritted his teeth.
"Don't worry, I'll bring your news to your sister!" At this time, Hercules' voice summoned Zheng Shu out of his contemplation.
It turned out that while he was secretly struggling, Hermes and Hercules had already finished talking to Melagaros.
Looking at the soul that was satisfied with the departure, Hercules staggered to Zheng Shu's side and sighed slightly: "This guy is a little unlucky, fortunately he ran into us, anyway, he also helped him, and it is not bad to get so much information." ”
"Ah...... Very good. Because of what happened just now, Zheng Shu still seemed a little absent-minded.
In fact, because most of the information about ancient Greek mythology Zheng Shu was obtained from games or animations, he didn't know exactly what happened to Hercules after he came to hell, and only knew three more classic things.
They are to rescue Theseus, defeat Hades, and capture the three-headed dog of hell, Kerberus.
Zheng Shu himself did not have the ability to see in the future, and even the hints that his sixth sense could send were speculated based on the information he had obtained, so Zheng Shu could clearly understand that the reason for his heart throbbing must be among the three things he knew.
……
……
Because Zheng Shu and Hercules had already reached hell, Hermes quickly said goodbye to the two and left-he was also a god of the underworld, and according to his duties, theoretically, when he met Zheng Shu, a creature like them who trespassed into hell without permission had to be punished.
However, Hermes is very self-aware, even if he has the blessing of the power of the field, facing these two fierce gods is basically a matter of resisting one more punch. Although as a god of the Ming Realm, his immortality is almost full, but it hurts to be beaten by someone.
Hermes didn't think he had any masochistic hobbies, so after sending Zheng Shu and the others to hell, he simply left the place and returned to the tavern in the city of Thenaron to pretend that nothing had happened.
Zheng Shu and Hercules did not embarrass Hermes, after all, the other party had already done their best to send the two of them here, and they also obtained the information provided by Melagaros, plus the strength of the two people, they could basically be regarded as rampant in hell.
When Zheng Shu and the others descended to hell, because of Hermes's deliberate guidance, they were not too far away from the royal city of Hades.
In addition, both Zheng Shu and Hercules were physical monsters, so they simply spread their feet on the plain and ran quickly.
Within a few minutes, the two of them had crossed most of the distance.
……
……
"Be careful!" While running, Hercules suddenly issued a warning.
Zheng Shu's current strength is much weaker than Hercules, so after Hercules gave a warning, he ran for a while before Zheng Shu noticed the special aura that appeared in front of him.
Zheng Shu took a look, it was a huge rock on the side of the road, it looked not small, and it was a good place to rest. The two glanced at each other and slowly slowed down, drew their weapons and prepared for battle.
"Huh? The breath seems to be a little wrong, and the thing in front of it shouldn't be a creature from hell, right? Zheng Shu suddenly noticed the problem after taking a few steps forward.
Hercules also frowned and nodded: "That's right, I didn't feel the breath of the gods of the underworld, and it was not like the breath of the soul, the two guys in front should be alive." ”
"Living......" Zheng Shu nodded knowingly.
At such a point in time, the two living people who appeared so close to the royal city of Hades should be Theseus and Peritous.
Speaking of which, these two old brothers are also talents, and the purpose of Theseus's visit to hell this time is to courtship Persephone, the queen of the underworld.
Not to mention what kind of stupidity did this guy Theseus, he dared to hit the wife of Hades, who is one of the strongest in the entire Olympus, and this guy really dared to risk death to come to Hades's territory to prepare to woo his wife.
And Pelitous is even more clever, his friend came up with such an outrageous idea, not only did not stop it, but even foolishly followed him to hell to accompany Theseus to courting Persephone.
…… Yes?
Zheng Shu doesn't want to discuss this guy's brain anymore, Theseus is going to go to someone else's wife to court, what can you do with you?!
At that time, whether Theseus succeeds or not, this guy doesn't seem to be suitable on the sidelines, right?!
And the most outrageous thing is that in ancient Greek mythology, in the end, Theseus was rescued, and Peritous died in hell because Hercules really didn't have time to rescue.
Because the logic of the whole thing is so outrageous, Zheng Shu doesn't know where to start complaining.
In short, because of the shocking and magical behavior of these two people, Zheng Shu remembers this incident quite deeply.
And in the face of the arrogant thoughts of the two of them, Hades actually just locked them to the stone where they sat down to rest.
Although theoretically, Hades has no intention of releasing these two people at all, and basically intends to consume them alive in hell, but in a sense, this can already be regarded as revenge with virtue.
After getting close enough, Hercules's solemn expression finally relaxed completely, for he had recognized it as the breath of his old friend.
And the two who came to hell and tried to green the territory of the Lord of the Underworld to rob his wife finally sensed the breath of their friends in despair.
The two of them were locked to the stone by Hades for I don't know how long, and they had basically fallen into a desperate situation of running out of oil and lamps, and it was in this situation that they suddenly felt the breath of Hercules, and Theseus almost fainted with excitement.
"Hercules! It's me! Unable to straighten up because he was bound in chains, Theseus could only bend over and wave his hand in an attempt to make Hercules find himself.
And after seeing Hercules turn exactly to his side, the smile on Theseus's face became even brighter.
"You ...... What's going on? How could it be in hell? Hercules looked his friend up and down, his brow furrowed.
No wonder he didn't find out that this was his friend at first, these two people are in too bad a state now.
Because they have been in hell for a long time, their means of resisting the invasion of hell have been damaged, and the aura on their bodies has been partially eroded. Coupled with the fact that he has not been replenished with food for a long time, if he is not lucky enough to meet him, it is estimated that he will transform into a real undead in a few days.
Theseus seemed to be able to say two sentences, but Peritous next to him had collapsed to the point that he could not even speak.
"Let's not mention this yet, come and help us get out of here." Theseus was not embarrassed to explain his intentions, after all, even in ancient Greece, his operation was really a bit outrageous, and it belonged to black history that could be remembered for a lifetime.
"Okay, grab my hand!" Hercules didn't care about his friend's stuttering, he just stretched out his hand.
He had already discovered just now that the chains on the wrists of these two people were not real substances, but were made of divine power, and it seemed that they should be able to use half of the strength of the bound people to strengthen themselves.
In other words, without the help of others, once you are bound by this chain, you will never be able to break free by one alone.
This kind of confinement is not a very good way to put it in the world of the living, because this kind of bondage can be easily broken with the help of others, but it is unexpectedly suitable in this world where there are only undead.
Seeing that Theseus took Hercules' hand, Zheng Shu silently walked up to Pelitoros and pulled his hand up.
He knew very well that Theseus would be discovered by Hades after he was rescued, so that Peritous died in hell before he could be rescued.
To be honest, if Zheng Shu met these two people by himself, he might not bother to care about anything, after all, compared to these two guys, Zheng Shu felt that his relationship with Hades might be better, and he also contributed a lot of sacrifices to Hades.
If Hercules had gone to the hands of Lapilitous at the beginning, Zheng Shu would definitely not be nosy, and people like Theseus would have died!
However, if he was to watch Pelitoros die like this, Zheng Shu would be a little unbearable, after all, although this buddy is not very good at his brain, he doesn't have any bad thoughts in himself, and he came to hell simply to accompany his friends.
Peritoos, who was already close to being unconscious, also woke up after being held by Zheng Shu's hand, and glanced up at Zheng Shu weakly, a grateful smile appeared on his face.
"This guy is a little too silly, but his status should be quite high, right?" Zheng Shu thought silently in his heart.
Turning his head and Hercules glanced at each other and nodded, the two of them violently pulled the chains on the two guys directly.
Boom Boom!
The moment the chain was broken, the ground erupted violently, and the huge rock in front of him immediately cracked and fell like a landslide with surging force.
"Get out of the way!" With Hercules' roar, Zheng Shu and Hercules dragged the person in their hands and jumped backwards violently.
If it was an ordinary landslide, the two of them naturally didn't need to be so careful, but this rock carried a lot of divine power on it when it fell, and it seemed that it should be Hades's insurance method.
"Thanks......" Peritous reluctantly squeezed the words out of his mouth.
He was now in a cold sweat with fear, if it wasn't for the person in front of him who pulled him away, he would probably have confessed here this time.
"You're welcome, eat something, you look like you haven't eaten for a long time." Zheng Shu put Pelitoos on the ground, reached out and took out a bag of "instant noodles" from the backpack behind his back and handed it over.
Watching Theseus and Peritous eat the bag of "instant noodles" like starving ghosts, an inexplicable smile appeared on Zheng Shu's face.
Hunger is the best seasoning for humans, and having eaten such a delicious thing in a near-death environment, they will inevitably miss this bag of "instant noodles" when they return to their home country.
Zheng Shu vaguely remembered that the status of these two people did not seem to be low in their country, and under the effect of upward and downward effects, their "instant noodles" should soon spread throughout that country.
Zheng Shu, who was smiling, suddenly changed his face, glanced at Hercules next to him, Zheng Shu nodded at him: "You go to Hades' royal city first, I will stay here to take care of these two people, after all, with their current state, it is estimated that there is no way to leave hell by themselves." ”
Hercules was stunned for a moment but didn't think much about it, after all, he was also worried about how to deal with these two people just now, Theseus said that Peritous was completely like he was about to collapse into a coma.
"Good! Then I'll trouble you first, and I'll finish the trial and come back soon. After making up his mind, Hercules did not hesitate too much, and immediately took a step towards the city of Hades, which was already able to see the city gates.
Quietly watching Hercules go away, Zheng Shu turned his head to look to the side. Theseus, who were still frantically grabbing food just now, suddenly fell into a deep sleep, and from their snoring, it seemed that they should have slept deeply.
Zheng Shu glanced at the two of them, and turned in one direction with a calm face: "Hercules has already set off by himself." ”
"Okay, I'm so sorry to stop you all of a sudden." A hoarse-sounding voice came from the air facing Zheng Shu.
