Chapter 308: Hercules (5,000 Words for Subscription)
The carts were moving along the river of fire, the dark space, the mist shrouded, the hot energy of the river burning their skin, every breath of air they inhaled was like inhaling fiberglass with the smell of sulfur.
The comfort that the River of Fire brought to them was only temporary, so every once in a while, they had to take a sip of the liquid flame.
However, their injuries were also healed by the waters of the River of Fire, and apart from being unkempt and muddy, everything else was okay.
It's just that the environment here is so hot that the water will evaporate quickly when it comes outside, but fortunately, the water of the River of Fire can quench your thirst.
There were several corpses at the edge of the river, and there was nothing left but broken bones and shiny stains that had been roasted in the heat of the river, presumably eaten by some beast of prey.
It seems that even here there should be some food chain.
After walking a few more kilometers, they found themselves on the edge of a huge cliff again.
The flaming waters of the River of Fire flow down from the jagged edges to become a waterfall of flames.
Below the mountain is a desolate gray plain with black trees erected like insect hair.
Bubbles bubbled up on the ground, and from time to time bubbles swelled and burst, spitting out monsters one after another, like the larvae that came out of the eggs in many horror games.
Seeing this scene, the hunger that White and the others had originally born also dissipated into nothingness.
All the newborn monsters were crawling in the same direction, towards a black mist that engulfed the horizon like the front of a storm.
The River of Fire was flowing in the same direction, flowing through the middle of the plain, meeting with another black river, perhaps the River of Sorrow.
The two rivers merge into a steaming, boiling torrent, and become one and run towards the river.
The longer White stared at the storm of darkness, the more intense the unwarranted fear grew in his heart, and there could be anything hidden in between—the ocean, the bottomless pit, the monsters.
"Can we fly over?" Theseus asked at Merlin.
"That's probably not a good idea either." Char pointed to the sky.
Black shadows with wings hovered in the blood-red clouds.
"What's that?"
"Maybe it's some kind of demon." Cassifer in front of him said, "This is the world of demons, and there are countless demons. ”
"Is the place you're going to be in that black fog?" White asked.
Char had no words, and this place was just as dangerous for him, because it was different from the enemies he might face in this world.
Monsters like Hydra abound here, and here are more of the Titans who once wrestled with the Greek gods.
Char spent all his destiny when he faced a man who had fought with death and had been severely damaged by Arthur's holy sword.
And the power of fate he obtained from Arthur also made a large amount of expenditure during this time, such as the fate of Peng Lie's first generation, as well as Zhang Daoling and Xuanzang who appeared in Beichen.
However, even if he didn't consume these powers of fate now, he would definitely not be able to take out the amount of the unusually huge power of fate that he felt in this area.
If he really comprehends one of the five great dharmas in the future, he may be more relaxed.
Therefore, he chose to follow this group of people, and the power of fate will bless them.
But even so, he was watching the dangers around him.
After all, the protagonist's aura will only bless the protagonist.
The moving cart jumped nimbly at the foot of the cliff, and in a short time it landed at the bottom of the cliff, and in front of them stretched an endless wilderness, full of monster larvae and large trees like insect hair.
To their right, the River of Fire branched off into several tributaries, eroding the fields and expanding into a delta of smoke and fire.
To the north, on the main road of the river, the ground is covered with potholes, and from time to time sharp rocks rise abruptly, like exclamation points.
The dirt was surprisingly smooth, and the cart stepped on it, picking up a little dirt and debris, revealing something beneath the dirt and debris.
It was a membrane, like skin, and it was just a tip of the land.
White was the first to notice this, and he almost threw up, but there was nothing left in his stomach but the water of the flaming river.
He felt something around him watching over them, something huge, and he couldn't focus on that feeling because it was everywhere.
The term surveillance is also not very accurate, because it does not mean that it has eyes, it is simply aware of their existence.
The rocks overhead looked more like rows of giant teeth than like steps.
Sharp rocks are like broken ribs, and if the earth is skin
White's breathing stagnated, and a chill gradually enveloped his body, causing the cold hairs on his body to stand on end.
He turned his head to look at Char.
"Sir! Something is wrong here. ”
Char didn't say anything, just stared quietly into the distance.
White followed his line of sight, and in the black mist, an equally majestic figure was slowly walking towards him.
He seemed to be human, but he was about three meters tall, and even the dark shadows could not stop his burly and strong lines, and his black hair was flying in the wind
Before they could come to their senses, the earth began to tremble violently, like an eight-magnitude earthquake, and the earth began to tear apart, and the course of the River of Fire was cut off and poured into the cracks.
The tooth-like rocks behind White began to peel off, revealing the dark white dentin structure within, and the sand and shards that covered the skin-like membrane slid in all directions.
The beast beneath their feet is waking up
The violent tremor also caused the all-terrain vehicle under them to start shaking violently.
Several people in the car were shaken.
"Cassifer." Char shouted.
"Got it!"
The flames of Cassifer, who was controlling the car in front of him, rose several meters high again, and a pair of metal wings spread out on either side of the castle.
With the wings spread, the car flew up to the sky!
The tremors below intensified, and the whole land seemed to tilt, countless worms, trees, lava, and rivers sloping to one side, either to the bottom or into the torn abyss.
The behemoth rose from the abyssal land.
They saw the outline of the beast, and it was a giant.
Overhead, the blood-colored clouds were overhead, and the whole head was submerged in it, surrounded by thunderclouds, and the thunder flickered, revealing his burly body flowing with a river of fire, like an ancient god.
They have never seen such a being, or rather, they have only heard of it in mythology.
They don't have any direct comparisons when they listen to myths, so they don't think so.
But when they actually faced this ancient god, they were all shocked by the power, majesty, and antiquity of the existence.
Their mouths were slightly open, and their whole bodies were trembling.
In the depths of their souls, they seem to remember the fear and awe of their ancestors for them.
But the shudder was shattered by an arrow that pierced the sky.
It's an arrow, but it's more like a pillar, but it looks like an arrow.
The arrow pierced through the clouds and into the giant's eyes.
"Woo!!"
The roar of pain spread throughout the abyss, blood rained down, the vivid blood red around him became more and more conspicuous, and the river of fire on his body began to boil, and even erupted magma, and he looked very angry.
White and the others looked in the direction where the arrow was fired, and the majestic figure gradually revealed.
It was also a little giant, with black messy hair scattered haphazardly behind his head, like a lion, and dark skin, but not the black of a black man, but a sun-burned complexion, but darker than bronze.
His muscles bulged, and in the light of the moon, every muscle glowed, filled with the scent of male hormones.
The surging blood qi burned around him, and it was because the muscles bulged excessively, causing the capillaries to burst, which made him feel like he was bathed in blood mist.
Of course, the most eye-catching thing is the super huge longbow that is more than twenty meters long on his side, floating in the air.
On the bow, there is a spiral-shaped, super-huge arrow like a Roman column, which is ready to be fired.
"That's . Who? White muttered softly.
"Hercules." Dina said she wasn't really sure, just casually.
But in this world, if there is anyone who best matches the appearance of the legendary Hercules, it is the one in front of him.
"Ah!!!h
The titan covered his eyes in pain, the arrow should have other damage in addition to physical damage.
If that being was really Hercules, then perhaps the question could be answered.
In the Twelve Trials, after the death of the hydra, Hercules fed the arrows with the venom of its gall.
These poisoned arrows later accidentally wounded the centaur Caron. Charon was immortal, but the snake was venomous and painful, so he gave up his eternal life, preferring to die instead of Prometheus, and finally flew into the sky and became a centaur.
The poisoned arrows also buried the cause of Hercules' own death. After completing twelve tasks, he returned home with his wife to settle down. On the way, another man, Manesus, was shot with a poisoned arrow.
Before he died, Centaur deceived Hercules' wife, Deianira, that his blood was the elixir of love, and that he would put a little on his clothes, and whoever he put on it would be loyal for the rest of his life.
At that time, there were rumors that Hercules was going to marry Rohr. In order to win her husband's heart, Deianira did as the men and horses said.
Hercules put on the new clothes given by his wife, and the venom of the hydra seeped into his skin through the blood of Nessus. He tried to rip off his clothes, but he was stuck to his flesh and couldn't be separated. A generation of heroes died here.
Floating next to Hercules may be the bow and arrow he used to kill the Hydra in the first place.
It is also the real reason why they took such a big risk to come to Hades.
The venom of the hydra is so poisonous that even an immortal cannot escape, but it cannot kill the gods, but it can also cause great pain to the gods.
I saw the giant stretch out his hand again and make a gesture of drawing his bow, his muscles bulging, and he seemed to be exhausted.
The super huge bow and arrow more than 20 meters long on his side was also slowly pulled away.
He aimed at the giant's leg and released the bow without hesitation.
"Boom !!!"
The huge arrow, as thick as a Roman column, shot out in an instant, and with a loud explosion, the arrow was wrapped in a white barrier, and then it emitted a sudden roar.
As the speed of an object approaches the speed of sound, it will gradually catch up with the sound waves emitted by itself.
At this time, due to the compression of the air by the object, it cannot propagate rapidly, and it will gradually accumulate on the windward side of the object and its nearby areas, and finally form a sudden change surface of physical properties such as pressure, temperature, velocity, and density in the air - shock surface.
The shock surface will increase the resistance of the air to the aircraft, which is commonly known as the sound barrier, also known as the sound barrier cloud.
The earth was tossed over by the shockwave, and a deep valley was plowed straight out.
As it was about to reach the Titans, the stout arrow split into hundreds!
Then.
"Puff !!"
"Moo!!"
Hundreds of arrows sank deep into the giant's knees, abdomen, and chest, and the arrows as thick as pillars were not too large for the titan giant's massive body.
But at the wound, a powerful toxin began to eat away at its body, and the Titan's body went limp, half-kneeling on the ground, and the earth trembled faintly.
Extremely angry, the titan raised his hand, reached into the clouds, grabbed a bolt of lightning from the clouds and projected it at the black hunk below.
"Boom !!"
Thunder and lightning lit up this dark realm, and the air was filled with electric charges, and even White and the others, who were watching the battle from the side, felt a tingling sensation.
The speed of thunder and lightning was the speed of light, and it hit the destination almost instantly, and as the light and shadow dissipated, a huge scorched black pit was directly left in the place where the black macho man was just now, and the black macho disappeared.
"Look, over there!"
They followed White's line of sight, and on the plain, a dark figure was moving at high speed in the direction of the giant. Because the environment here is too dark, and the skin of the black hunk is very dark, so it is not very clear to see.
He's fast, and it's hard to imagine such explosiveness with such height and weight.
And how could the titan allow this being to come near him, he raised his other foot and stomped heavily on the ground.
With a monstrous sound like a meteorite hitting the ground. The whole earth began to crack rapidly around the giant, and the earth shook and trembled wildly, like a super earthquake of more than ten magnitudes, and countless boulders protruded from the magma.
The monsters that were still alive on the earth were shaken into the magma by the shock, and some monsters were instantly annihilated by the sputtered magma.
The black macho man was very nimble, jumping nimbly from the protruding rocks to avoid the lava.
But the Titan wouldn't let him be so wishy-washy, and the thunder and lightning in the sky were like rain, pouring down towards the black hunk below.
He dodged a few, but still some hit him, but his reflexes were also quick, and he raised his hand directly, and a bronze shield appeared on his hand.
The lightning struck the shield and was led to one side by the black hunk, shattering the boulder on the other side.
Assuming that he was really Hercules, the gods had given him many weapons as gifts.
These include a silver bow from Apollo, the god of light, a quiver full of arrows from Hephaestus, a sword from Hermes, the messenger, and a gold cuirass and bronze shield from Athena, the goddess of wisdom.
The shield is Athena's emblem, and the legendary hero Perseus also used the shield given by Athena to kill Medusa.
As the thunder and lightning bounced, he also bent his knees, accompanied by a monstrous thud, and a sonic boom.
His whole body rushed towards the titan like a rocket, and the stones under his feet shattered instantly.
He landed straight on the giant's knee, and with the help of the arrow stuck in the knee, it was shot upwards again and again, and landed on the giant's thigh.
There were many parasites on the monster's body, and when he saw the black man, he immediately rushed towards him, and he raised his hand, and a thick giant sword appeared in his hand, but it was only a normal length sword compared to his size.
The demon that rushed to the front was directly beheaded by him with a sword, and then, he directly projected the blade out, and after piercing through dozens of demons, the giant sword was firmly inserted into the skin of the Titan Behemoth's waist.
A giant orangutan-like beast half a head taller than him roared and rushed towards him.
His scarlet eyes flickered, and the palm of his hand turned into a knife and plunged directly into the orangutan's chest.
With the ferocity in his eyes, and with a low groan like a beast, the orangutan was directly torn apart by him, and countless internal organs mixed with blood flew around.
The next moment, he threw a punch directly at the demon who was rushing towards him on the right, and the demon turned into a blood mist in that instant, fusing with his boiling blood, and his whole person was shrouded in a blood-colored mist.
In the mist, the scarlet eyes were full of murderous intent, and the corners of the grinning mouth contained pure desire and joy for killing.
Seeing this murderous scene, even the well-informed Char let out a lifetime of snort.
Not to mention the trio of White and Dina.
It was a warrior they would never see in the human world.
Brave, primitive, powerful, and indomitable!
It was as if every drop of blood on his body was boiling with fighting intent.
He is the origin of the Spartans and the origin of the Spartan spirit.
Whatever it takes, to win.
Defy all fears and go for victory.
No matter how long and arduous the road ahead, victory will be won.
Because you can't survive without victory.
Until the last drop of blood is shed, it will only be shed in battle.
no doubt
Undoubtedly.
