Chapter 3: The Styx Caves

Captain Pock, in a blue coat and little leather boots, stood on the side of the ship. In front of him, two sturdy crew lifted the heavy iron anchor, and with a thud, the anchor sank to the bottom of the river with a string of iron cables.

"Well done!" said the old goblin. Then he turned around, took two quick steps, came to the other end of the deck, and respectfully reported to the solemn Salaquis: "Your honorable lord, as you can see, this is the destination, the ship has come to a standstill, and you can set off at any time." ”

Saraquis nodded, and Old Polk bowed, then immediately withdrew.

This is the upper reaches of the River Styx, near the central mountain range of the Demon Continent. Because of the rugged terrain, this section of the Styx is particularly turbulent. Under the impact of the rushing water, the "Polar Star" swayed from side to side, swinging uncertainly.

Saraqis looked back at behind him, the two true gods of Hileaia and Hoffman, and the three spatial gods of Dick, Lisa, and Clinton were all standing behind him.

"Let's go. Saraquis said lightly, and then his wings were flattened, and his whole body lit up with a flashing divine light, and he jumped forward, and the whole person fell straight into the bottom of the river.

Dick and the others didn't delay much, and the sound of popping into the water sounded one after another, and everyone jumped out of the boat.

The black divine power around Dick's body swollen, forming a spherical shield, and even if the water under the river was turbulent, it could not wet a piece of his clothes. Looking up, he saw that he had a total of six clusters of divine power flames shuttling back and forth at the bottom of the river, and slowly sank to the bottom of the river.

Dick froze, and he also urged his divine power to fly downward, closely following the others.

As you go deeper and deeper into the bottom of the river. The light above me was getting dimmer and the water pressure around me was getting stronger. The crowd could only be illuminated by the flames of divine power. And consume more liliang to fight the water pressure.

Suddenly, the water rolled over, and a large shadow rapidly approached from a distance. The giant tail flicked, bringing up a vast current of water that hit everyone almost unsteadily.

Closer, it was a huge strange fish, nearly 100 meters long and tens of meters wide. The whole body is covered with hideous scale armor, the thick fins and tail of the fish bring a huge flow of water, and the huge eyes look at everyone deadly, revealing a bloodthirsty brilliance. Bai Sensen's fangs were densely packed in his mouth, and he was biting towards everyone at this moment.

Dick wasn't impressed. He had long known from the book that the mountains and rivers of the hell plane also gave birth to huge beasts, but apart from their huge size and infinite strength, the beasts in hell were not anything else outstanding.

The strange fish in front of him is to the gods what an ordinary fish is to an ordinary person.

Even the three true gods didn't make a move, and Lisa casually released a "Spatial Rift Slash" that cut the strange fish in two, and the space where the six people were was immediately filled with blood.

Hiraya looked at the blood-stained river around him and frowned, "Remember to be clean next time." ”

"Understood. My lord. Lisa bowed her head.

The six of them then proceeded to the bottom of the river, encountering several strange fish of different appearances, all of which were tackled. The only trouble was when everyone didn't check for a while and alarmed the fish, in an instant. An overwhelming array of strange fish filled the field of vision. And the water is rolling, and the mud and sand are flying, making it impossible to see.

Dick. Lisa and Clinton kept unleashing dimensional storms to slash the fish, but they couldn't kill them at all. Zuihou or Hoffman personally shot. Under a knife, Fang Yuan burned the sky with a sea of fire. The water evaporated, the fish were all charred, and a huge hole appeared in the surface of the River Styx, and the transpiring mist rose like a cloud. After a few seconds, the surrounding river rushed in with a roar, filling the hole in the water.

Dick had forgotten how long he had been descending at the bottom of the river, and he knew that there was no light in the waters except for the divine light that emanated from the six of them. I only knew that the water pressure around my body had reached an alarming level, so that everyone had to shrink the divine power shield to reduce the pressure. I only know that there are no fish swimming past me now, and the whole sea is as silent as death.

It continued to descend for dozens of minutes, and countless turbulent whirlpools appeared at the bottom of the river, which was originally calm and waveless.

"It's here. Saraquis spread his wings and froze in place, "Be careful, if you go any deeper, there will be a rift in space." ”

With the light emitted by the divine power on everyone's body, Dick looked down, only to see that the space at the bottom of the river was like rags and full of hideous cracks, the small ones were only the size of a finger, but the large ones were across the entire bottom of the river. The fissures were a deep, pitch-black color, like wounds on the body of a beast. The turbulence of the raging space is like blood spilling from a wound.

Spatial rifts engulfed the waters of the River Styx, forming countless whirlpools and undercurrents at the bottom of the River Styx. Even from such a distance, everyone could feel the turbulence of the undercurrent and the suction power of the spatial rift.

Dick had some doubts in his heart, according to the knowledge he had gained from the book, Hell was a plane created by the Lord of Darkness, and even if the plane was destroyed, the Lord of Darkness should be able to use divine power to repair it, but the Lord of Darkness Weishenme ignored these spatial rifts?

Saraquis ripped off the March Key around his neck, and sent it to Dick with his divine power, saying, "Go ahead, inject your spatial divine power into it, and activate the teleportation magic array in it." ”

Hoffman and Hiraia also gave Lisa and Clinton the fragment of the Key of March that they owned.

The three of Dick glanced at each other, and they all saw a hint of complexity in each other's eyes, and then the three of them began to inject pure divine power into the March Key in their hands.

The Key of March emitted a soft silver glow, which grew brighter and more condensed as the divine power entered. Above the three necklaces, three magic arrays gradually emerged, with complex and mysterious patterns and incomprehensible meanings.

Saraquis, Hoffman, and Shilaia all stared at the scene with unblinking eyes, their eyes flashing to reveal the excitement in their hearts.

As the divine power continued to be injected, the March Key gradually floated from the hands of the three Dick and rose into the air, like three cold stars rising in the darkness.

The pendants of the three necklaces shimmered with dazzling light, slowly flying towards the same place, and as the Key of March approached, the three magic arrays above gradually overlapped. The key to the month of March was completely fused together, and the pattern of the new moon, the half moon and the full moon flashed in the beads.

Then, above the Key of March, the magic array that had completely overlapped suddenly burst into flames, illuminating the space within a radius of a hundred miles. Under such a bright light, even Shili, who was a god, couldn't help but close his eyes.

When Dick opened his eyes again, there was already a different scene in front of him. The last moment was still at the bottom of the dark river, and the undercurrent was surging, but at this moment it was already in another unfamiliar space.

It's an underground cavernous place. The top of the head is an upside-down stalactite, the foot is a jagged stalagmite, and the front and back are left and right silver-white stalactite pillars or stone walls to cut off the space.

Stalactites, stalagmites, and stone pillars emit a faint blue light that provides a faint illumination of the space, and when you look closely, you can see that the stalagmite pillars are inlaid with countless small blue crystal fragments, and it is this crystal that emits light.

"It looks like it's still a crystal vein, but I don't know what this blue crystal is. Dick muttered to himself.

Dick turned around and looked around, he was alone in the vast space, and it seemed that the Key of March contained a magic array that teleported randomly within the range. The others were teleported to somewhere.

At this moment, Dick suddenly felt a stirring of the magic mark in his body, and his heart sank, Saraquis was trying to locate him!

Without any hesitation, Dick immediately sat cross-legged on the ground and ran the "Ring Curse", now he has no use value for the three true gods such as Saraquis, and Dick will never dare to risk letting Saraquis find himself.

The magic marks that control the divine power of the whole body surged into the body layer upon layer, wrapping it like a large cocoon, and then slowly eroded.

The agitation of the magic mark gradually stopped, and Dick let out a long breath. (To be continued......)
