Chapter 299: The Styx Monster
On the docks of the Twilight Zone, a slender figure wrapped in purple armor and wearing a white cloak stood quietly by the River Styx, a face under the cherry helmet was beautiful and heroic, eyes as deep as stars, the bridge of the nose was high, and her lips were pursed, although the armor covered most of her body, no matter which direction she looked at, it was undeniable that she was a stunning beauty, her temperament was cold and noble, and no one dared to desecrate her beauty.
She is Zijia Chihiro, a fierce general who has made countless achievements in the southern and northern wars with the Emperor of Hades, but because of her refusal to resist the courtship of the Emperor of Hades, she was relegated to the Twilight City to be the commander of the city, and she has been doing it for three thousand years.
Purple Armor Chihiro's star-like deep gaze faintly stared at the busy scene on the dock, and suddenly a huge building ship slowly sailed into the harbor, and at the bow stood two soul-seeking yakshas, one black and one white, known as black and white impermanence. There are a lot of black and white impermanence under the four great princes, and black and white impermanence does not specifically refer to one or two people, but the yaksha who do this kind of errand is collectively referred to as black and white impermanence. Otherwise, so many people die every day in the world, if there is only a pair of black and white impermanence, how can you be busy.
Every day, countless ships full of souls sail to Twilight from all directions, and Chihiro, the leader of Twilight, also has to examine the spirits on these ships to prevent people with bad intentions from sneaking into Twilight.
After the ship docked, the four purple armor guards strode up to the building ship, and the black and white impermanence brought the four purple armor guards into the cabin to examine all the souls one by one, and after a while, the four purple armor guards who had completed the review walked down the ship and walked to the side of the purple armor Chihiro and reported, "General Chihiro! This soul ship from the Xiyuan Continent carries a total of one hundred and twenty souls, forty-one women, seventy-nine men, all of them have been examined, and there is no abnormality."
"Hmm!" Chihiro's tall and delicate Yao nose snorted lightly, and ordered, "Take them all."
"Yes!" the four Purple Armor Guards led the way to the building ship again, and the one hundred and twenty souls that had been connected by the soul chain were driven off the dock from the building ship, and lined up to walk towards the east gate of the Twilight Zone.
When a group of souls walked past Purple Armor Chihiro, Purple Chihiro's powerful divine sense swept over each soul one by one, and at the back of the line, the soul of a woman in white caught her attention.
The woman in white is Shengxue, her temperament is elegant, beautiful and moving, it is obviously not an ordinary family, when the divine sense of Zijia Chihiro swept over her body, her eyes instantly froze, and the shocked look in her heart was overflowing.
In the early days of Mahayana, it turned out to be a master in the early days of Mahayana? Zijia Qianxun was puzzled, not that the masters of the Mahayana period would not die, on the contrary, cultivators fought each other, and dead people were very common, but after death, cultivators generally did not go the same way as ordinary people, especially cultivators who cultivated to be powerful, and after death, they would have a way to preserve their original gods and enter the river of reincarnation by themselves.
It is very rare to be caught by the Soul Seeker Yaksha like this, and because of this, Purple Armor Chihiro has maintained enough attention to the woman in white, of course, only to keep an eye on it, although a Mahayana master is not particularly common, but it is not a great existence, and there are not a few masters in the underworld Soul Snatching Period.
After the purple armor Chihiro finished the review, she waved her hand, and the four purple armor guards immediately escorted more than a hundred souls into the twilight city.
As soon as Purple Armor Chihiro saw all the souls enter the Twilight City, the demon bell on her waist shook violently, and Purple Armor Chihiro frowned slightly, and took out the demon bell on her waist with a suspicious face.
Sensing the will of the Hades Emperor through the Demon Bell, the Purple Armor Chihiro looked shocked, "Swallowed the Sansheng Stone, escaped into purgatory and came out of purgatory alive?"
When she heard the silver armor Qianjun say that there was no news even from the red armor Qianye, her face instantly sank, the golden armor thousand wolves, the silver armor Qianjun, the red armor Qianye, and the purple armor Qianhiro The four people have been friends of life and death since ancient times, and the feelings in them are naturally not understandable to outsiders.
If Hongjia Chiba loses his life because of this, the three of them will definitely not let Xiao Yu go, even if it is the end of the world, Xiao Yu's body will be broken into thousands of pieces.
On the other side of the Styx, a ferry boat docked on the shore, and there used to be dozens of large and small ferries here, but today happened to coincide with the opening of the monthly trade fair in the Twilight City, so the merchants and travelers of the entire underworld rushed to cross the river today, and the ferry became busy all of a sudden.
Xiao Yu looked at the vast Styx, and finally gave up the plan to fly directly over, no one knew what kind of ghosts were hidden in the Styx, since everyone had abided by the rules of crossing the river by boat for millions of years, he could only follow the current. The River Styx is the most dangerous area in the underworld along with the land of purgatory and the mysterious place in the north, and if you really provoke these old monsters hidden in the dark, I am afraid that you will not know how you will die when the time comes.
Just ask the existence that even the Hades Emperor does not dare to provoke easily, how can Xiao Yu dare to challenge their authority, at least not yet.
"Do you want to cross the river objectively?" Xiao Yu was looking around on the shore, and a boatman wearing a hat and a cloak came out of the only ferry, smiling at Xiao Yu in a friendly smile.
"Cross the river!" Xiao Yu nodded, jumped into the bow, and jumped onto the bow of the boat.
The ferry boat is not big, not like a building boat, only slightly larger than an ordinary fishing boat, with a boatman standing at the bow and stern, and a black canopy propped up in the center of the boat, standing in the cabin just enough to stand upright. The cabin is also not large, and can accommodate about twenty people.
Looking at the vast river Styx through the window of the black canopy, Xiao Yu really doubted that such a small boat could cross the river safely. However, seeing the expressions of the two boatmen who were full of confidence, Xiao Yu breathed a sigh of relief again, after all, these ferries have been traveling on the River Styx for many years, and I think that the two boatmen have enough experience in dealing with the mysterious River Styx.
Xiao Yu thought that the ferry would not leave the ferry until it was full, but he didn't expect that Xiao Yu was the only one on the boat, and the ferry also set off from the shore. Xiao Yu's eyes moved imperceptibly, and he strengthened his vigilance.
"May I ask the boatman, how much do you have to pay for crossing the river once?" Xiao Yu asked lightly, which can be regarded as a probing to the bottom.
"It's not expensive! a hundred red crystals!" the boatman's head at the bow of the ship did not reply.
"One hundred red crystals is indeed not expensive!" Xiao Yu replied lightly, slightly relieved in his heart, one hundred red crystals may be considered astronomical in the Xiyuan Continent, but for Xiao Yu, it is really nothing, the number of red crystals in his chaotic space is uncountable, and it is naturally not a problem to pay one hundred red crystals.
While talking, the ferry had already sailed into the depths of the River Styx, and the boatman at the stern of the boat suddenly added "a hundred red crystals plus your body"
"Flesh?" Xiao Yu was stunned, his pupils gradually dilated, his feelings were on the thief ship, no wonder he was the only one on this ship, and the other party was going to drive the boat, so he had already made up his mind.
"I don't know what use my physical body is for Your Excellency?" Xiao Yu wondered, he had only heard that some cultivators' physical bodies were destroyed, as long as the Yuan Shen was strong enough, he could also be reborn, but these two boatmen were not strong in their cultivation, what use did his physical body have for him?
"You're going to die anyway, so it's okay to tell you" The boatman at the bow of the boat put down the penny in his hand, turned around and explained to Xiao Yu, "The underworld is not like your yang world, the underworld is seriously lacking in physical bodies, but your human physical bodies can refine armor and weapons to resist yang fire, so human physical bodies are very scarce in the underworld, and the price has also reached sky-high prices, as long as you have a physical body, especially the physical body of a cultivator like you, you can exchange for a large amount of cultivation resources." ”
"In other words, are you going to exchange me for cultivation resources?" Xiao Yu finally understood, it turned out that the body of the most worthless person in the yang world was a rare refining material in the underworld, and his own body had already become the prey of the other party, and he believed that as long as he dared to refuse, the other party would have all kinds of means to deal with him.
"That's right, you see if you can be caught or wait for us to do it" The two boatmen in the bow and stern of the boat lifted the hats on their heads at the same time, revealing a hideous face, and the momentum on their bodies was undoubtedly revealed, and they were all masters of the middle stage of Hades.
"Do you think you two can handle me?" Xiao Yu sneered.
"I know that you are a master of the incarnation period, that is, it is equivalent to our Hades cultivation here, maybe we are not your opponents on land, but on this Styx, I am afraid that no matter how high the cultivation is, I can't help my two brothers" The boatman at the stern of the boat smiled with a ghostly smile.
"Really, then I want to see what kind of means you have" Xiao Yu shouted angrily, his mana was surging, and the powerful qi machine locked on the two of them, as long as the two of them made any move, Xiao Yu would not hesitate to kill the two. Of course, if it was unnecessary, Xiao Yu still didn't want to kill the two of them so early, after all, now that he was in the middle of the River Styx, it would be difficult for him to cross the other side of the river if no one was driving the boat.
The two boatmen smiled strangely at Xiao Yu at the same time, and then opened their mouths, and a strange sound of "ho ho" came out of their mouths, and the calm river Styx gradually became undulating, and the hull of the boat shook violently with the waves.
Xiao Yu stabilized his body and looked into the River Styx, only to see many dark shadows faintly passing around the hull of the boat in the dark River Styx, it seems that this wave was caused by these unknown monsters.
If you want to keep this ferry, you have to disperse this group of water monsters, otherwise it won't be long before the ferry will be overturned by the waves and fall into the River Styx, which will be really dangerous.
Xiao Yu didn't dare to slack off, hurriedly ran the Yang Divine Technique in his body, forcibly protected the ferry, and split another mana into the water, and there was a chirping scream in the water, and dozens of meter-long big herring fish surfaced, all of which were injured by Xiao Yu's mana. But these big herring fish are different from ordinary herring, these big herring fish have four human hands on their fins, and the facial expressions of these herring fish are also extremely humane.
Xiao Yu had to sigh at the mystery and strangeness of this long river Styx, and he didn't know how many strange creatures like this were still in the river Styx.
