Qiao Yu couldn't help but open her mouth in shock.
He and Zuo You walked forward after passing through the Gate of Hell. As they walked, an endless ocean appeared in front of them.
At the same time, the system prompt tone also sounded.
[Congratulations to the player for completing mission one, now mission two is released.]
[Task 2: Cross the Agron River and protect the cross from being lost.]
[Warm reminder: The Agron River is called the first river in hell. The water in the river is so weak that even feathers cannot float on the water. 】
The turbid yellow water of the river is as daunting as the mother river of Asan Kingdom next door.
Moreover, at a glance, you can't see the other side of the Agron River at all, which makes Qiao Yu unable to believe that this is a river.
The strong smell of corpses emitted by the river kept entering their nostrils.
"Qiao Yu, look over there." Zuo You pulled Qiao Yu's arm in fear.
When Qiao Yu heard the sound and looked around, her pupils suddenly shrank into needle shapes.
Because on the edge of the river bank, there were countless wailing and screaming dead people.
Their expressions were painful, their bodies were thin, and they were crying and howling on the bank of the river.
Qiao Yu patted Zuo You on the shoulder to tell her not to be afraid, then walked forward and asked politely.
"Brother, please ask, why are you crying here?"
However, the deceased seemed to be unable to hear Qiao Yu's words and continued to cry in pain.
"It's his grandma's, I'm asking you a question!"
Snapped!
Qiao Yu slapped the dead man on the forehead, and the dead man instantly turned into ashes.
"Look, there's nothing to be afraid of." Qiao Yu said, spreading her hands towards Zuo You.
Zuo You: "..."
"No need to ask, it's impossible for them to answer your question."
An old voice sounded.
"Those who died were all people who did nothing during their lifetime. They had no achievements or faults in their lives. Therefore, they can neither go to heaven nor go to hell."
"I can only wander in pain on the banks of the Agron River forever and ever."
Zuo You and Qiao Yu looked for the source of the sound, and were surprised to find a dark boat floating on the Agron River.
This surprised the two of them. The other world system said that even feathers could not float on the Agron River.
So what happened to this ship?
The person who spoke was an old man with a white beard on the dark boat.
The old man was about 1.65 meters tall, holding a long oar. His naked upper body was tattooed with totems that Qiao Yu couldn't understand, and his body was all muscular.
"Who are you?" Qiao Yu asked loudly.
"I am Charon, the ferryman of the Agron River. Do you want to cross the Agron River?"
After Charon finished speaking, he glanced at Qiao Yu and the two of them, then he was stunned and his pupils shrank suddenly.
"Wait! Are you alive? How could a living person come to the shore of the Agron River?"
"What's wrong? Can't living people cross the river?" Qiao Yu asked.
"What did you say? Say it again, you alone want to cross the Aglon River?"
Charon's eyes widened as if he heard something incredible.
"Yeah, can't you?" Qiao Yu asked, blinking.
"Of course not! The Agron River is the first river that separates the underworld and the human world. Its importance is self-evident. No living person can ever cross the Agron River!"
"If you two living people must cross the Agron River..."
Charon's eyes narrowed slightly, a dangerous light brewing inside.
"Gotta pay more!"
Qiao Yu, Zuo You: "..."
Qiao Yu was originally prepared for a fight, but Charon's sudden attack almost broke his waist.
"What does adding money mean?" Zuo You asked.
"Anyone who wants to cross the Agron River must pay a ferry fee. You are living people, so you will naturally have to pay more."
Charon looked serious.
Qiao Yu chuckled, pulled out a big red envelope from somewhere and gave it to Charon.
"Well, it's stuck. I'll leave it to you to cross the Agron River."
Charon's eyes narrowed instantly, he took the red envelope with a smile, and gently twisted it with his hand.
A bright smile instantly appeared on his bearded face.
"It's a small matter. It's not a big problem if a living person wants to cross the Agron River."
"But you have to think carefully, what lies ahead is not a tourist attraction, but a real hell!"
Qiao Yu glanced at Zuo You, then whispered into Charon's ear and asked.
"So are there succubi in hell?"
Charon showed a smile that all men understand.
"Of course there are. In the second hell, Black Wind Valley, there are succubi everywhere."
Zuo You glanced at the two of them doubtfully. She didn't understand why the two men, who had never met before, instantly became so close that they were like good brothers who hadn't seen each other for many years.
"Come on, since you are so good at getting into trouble, let's get on the boat." Charon happily propped up the boat and approached the shore.
As soon as the ship approached, the wailing dead on the shore surrounded them like locusts smelling blood.
"Go away!"
Charon roared and waved the oar, and he photographed all the dead being turned into powder.
But the undead still rushed towards the boat one after another.
"Stop inking and get on the boat! Otherwise these disgusting things will keep coming!"
At Charon's urging, Zuo You and Qiao Yu boarded the ship.
As the dark boat left the shore, the dead only dared to watch from a distance on the shore.
It seemed as if there was something in the Aglon River that frightened them very much.
"Brother Charon, why don't the dead cross the river by themselves? The dead should not be afraid of drowning anymore, right?" Qiao Yu asked.
"Haha, cross the Agron River?" A sarcastic look appeared on Charon's face. "You can try putting your hand out of the boat."
Hearing this, Qiao Yu carefully stretched out her hand.
Snap!
A pale, cold hand suddenly stretched out from the turbid yellow river water and clamped Qiao Yu's wrist like an iron pliers.
Qiao Yu was startled, stretched out her other hand and chopped off the pale hand with all her strength.
He quickly retracted his hand, and then countless pale hands stretched out from the Agron River.
Seeing Qiao Yu shrinking back, those countless hands also shrank back to the turbid bottom of the river, as if they had never appeared before.
Qiao Yu vaguely seemed to see pale and distorted faces flashing away from the surface of the Agron River.
"What the hell is this!" Qiao Yu couldn't help but feel a little scared.
"hehe."
Charon showed a strange smile.
"Those are all unlucky people who failed to cross the Agron River. Except for my boat, it is impossible for anything else to float on the Agron River."
"They sink into the dark and cold water of the Agron River for eternity. Anything that enters the Agron River will be dragged to the bottom by them and become their kind."
Charon raised the oar behind Qiao Yu.
"And you two will soon be part of the people at the bottom of the Agron River!"
"How dare you fool me with money from the living world, go to hell!"
"Qiao Yu, be careful!" Zuo You exclaimed, trying to stop him.
However, Charon's attack was so fast that Qiao Yu had no time to react.
Whoosh!
With a burst of wind, Qiao Yu was knocked away by Charon's oar, and then fell straight into the Agron River.
