The sky in the underworld is gray, thick and gloomy, and full of depressing atmosphere. Looking carefully, it seems that it is not made of clouds, but turbid sewage that is constantly churning - or the concentration of miasma is too high.
High, creating the illusion of a liquid.
According to the common sense of physics, such a sky should turn into black raindrops, but Cheng Peng waited for a while and did not see even a drop of rain falling. The dark power of death that filled the air of the underworld seemed to be stronger than miasma.
Something more pure and powerful, although it seems to be intangible, has extraordinary strength, enough to completely lift up the miasma of unknown thickness, dividing the gray sky and the gray black earth.
Of course there is water in the underworld. A big river with no visible head is meandering on the gray-black earth. The water in the river is pure black, and bubbles are rising continuously as if it is boiling. When each bubble bursts, a stream of water will appear.
The black miasma quickly rose into the sky and gathered into the boundless gray and black.
When he first saw this river, Cheng Peng thought that there seemed to be something swimming in the water of the Styx River, but when he took a closer look, he found that there was nothing - at least, nothing tangible.
After a while, he accidentally saw a piece of white bones that came from nowhere and fell into the river. The moment it fell into the water, it disintegrated and turned into countless tiny dusts. Then it sank densely without any trace of it.
Float on the water.
Perhaps there are indeed residents in this river that is constantly generating miasma, but I think they are probably just ghosts and the like.
There is always wind blowing in the underworld, but the direction and force of the wind are not fixed at all. One moment it was a light breeze blowing from behind, and the next moment it may become a howling wind in front of you, mixed with many lamentations.
and screams, and from time to time the gray soil on the ground was blown up, exposing the white bones beneath the soil.
When he first saw those white colors, Cheng Peng thought he had seen it wrong, but he soon corrected his misconception, because at this time, an incredibly strong hurricane blew, and the speed may have been close to the speed of sound.
Sweeping across the earth, it completely tore up the unstable gray ground, not only rolling up the soil, but also the bones.
In just a moment, the surrounding gray earth completely turned into mountains of bones. At first glance, all the ground was made of bones. The layers of bones turned into the earth and mountains, full of horrifying atmosphere.
feeling.
The white bones rolled up by the hurricane were crushed to pieces by the roaring hurricane that exceeded the speed of sound almost instantly, mixed with the gray soil, mixed with the black miasma rolled up from the Styx, and turned into dark dust.
, and then when the wind weakened, it fell down thinly, and soon accumulated a thick layer again, turning the bone-white ground back to the gray-black appearance that Cheng Peng had seen when he first arrived.
(This is really an uncomfortable place...)
Cheng Peng did not speak rashly. He was not sure whether speaking in such a place would cause any trouble. Although he could use his domain and wind control ability to avoid the disgusting dust, he could not guarantee that his voice would not be blocked.
When he heard something else, in line with the mentality of doing more than doing less, he just sighed secretly in his heart, put aside these meaningless sighs, and recalled the task description given to him by Mr. Marco.
"You can't judge the direction in the underworld. You can only move forward along the Styx River and keep walking in the direction of its flow - but remember to keep a distance from it. The water of the Styx River has a terrible adsorption force. If you are accidentally sucked by it,
If you live there, neither gods nor demons can escape."
"Walking along the River Styx, you will see a crystal bridge inlaid with gold. There are beasts and demons beside the bridge. The person guarding the bridge is the demon god Modgud. Although she seems to be an old witch who is no different from a skeleton, she is
She can summon thousands of monsters from the River Styx at any time, so don’t even think about killing the boss and destroying the artifact!"
"Don't try to cross the Crystal Bridge by yourself, just wait by the bridge. Our connector Wilfred will send his companions from the other side of the bridge every day to stand on the bridge and observe the things around him. He
He will recognize you at a glance, and after exchanging the connection code, he will take you to Hades. With his guidance, you can get permission to cross the bridge from Modgud without having to hand over your own blood."
"After crossing the bridge, you will see the huge demon dog Garm. After passing through the iron gate behind it, you can enter the real Hades. No matter what kind of existence, whether it is a hero or a god or demon, as long as he does not get Hel's permission, he hastily
You will die immediately the moment you step in, no luck!"
"Maybe you need to wait a moment at the door, or maybe the responder happened to be carrying a seal at the time. Anyway, sooner or later you will be able to enter, and then you can see Wilfred. Give him the things, and the mission is over.
It’s done.”
"Wilfred is the protagonist of the story of "The Guilty". He once killed the goddess of war Valkyrie's Legion of Heroes alone. If you can get any tasks from him, as long as it is not too
No matter how difficult it is, you might as well give it a try - if it were you, you might be able to accomplish it..."
Mr. Marco explained the mission in detail, and Cheng Peng could not see the slightest chance that he would fail the mission.
In fact, everything went as he said, without any setbacks.
Cheng Peng walked along the River Styx for two days. He encountered large numbers of undead on the road several times. However, because his domain completely isolated his aura, the undead who had lost their eyesight could not see him at all, and completely treated him as if he did not exist.
.Even if someone comes close by chance, they will be carefully pushed out by him using the domain of the ice and snow spear - although the domain power of the ice and snow spear cannot resist the power of death that pervades the underworld, and is penetrated with holes.
It was almost gray, but it was more than enough to deal with a few powerless undead.
When he couldn't help but wonder if he was going in the wrong direction, he finally saw the glowing crystal bridge at the end of the horizon. At this time, even a calm man like Cheng Peng couldn't help but quicken his pace.
He hurriedly walked towards the Crystal Bridge.
At this time, he already understood why Mr. Marco said that the responder could recognize him at a glance - the undead around him were still moving forward unhurriedly, and for them, time seemed to have lost the concept of time. Yes
The only ones who feel impatient and quicken their pace are those who are still alive.
Cheng Peng only walked halfway when he saw a figure who had been standing still on the bridge walking down from there and heading towards him.
It was a little girl of twelve or thirteen years old. She looked as cute as a doll. She was wearing a gorgeous dress and carrying a small hand crossbow that looked more like a toy than a weapon. She seemed very harmless.
But Cheng Peng noticed that the little girl's eyes were cold to the core, without any warmth, and there was no emotion at all. If it weren't for the life, it would be like a doll's glass eyes!
She stopped when she was about twenty meters away from Cheng Peng.
"Password," she said shortly.
"Shadow." Cheng Peng answered according to Mr. Marco's instructions.
"Wrong!" As she said this, she raised her crossbow and pointed it at Cheng Peng, as if she was going to attack.
"Yes, that's wrong." Cheng Peng smiled, but he didn't have any intention of relaxing in his heart - the moment the little girl raised her crossbow, he felt a strong murderous intention, and for the first time in her eyes,
I saw human emotions for the first time.
It was joy, intense joy full of longing.
She desires to kill! She is a true murderer!
Facing such a murderer, Cheng Peng certainly didn't dare to take it lightly!
The little girl held up the crossbow and stared at Cheng Peng for a long time, as if she had been taking aim and might launch an attack at any time, but the joy in her eyes gradually dimmed and slowly returned to the original coldness.
"Follow me." As she said this, she turned back and walked towards the demon god Modgud who was bringing many demons and beasts with him, forcing all the dead who wanted to go to Hades to hand over their remaining blood.
The so-called password is exactly the words "password - shadow - wrong - yes, wrong".
