The first thousand and eighty-four chapters also depends on the owner of the dog
"Brother, I vaguely remember something very important, but I can't remember it..."
Perseus frowned. When he calmed down and showed a thoughtful expression, most people wouldn't be able to tell that his IQ was low.
It's understandable, after all, the pants are still on my head and my face can't be seen, so how can I read my expression?
"Then don't think about it. This kind of thing is just like your pants. You can't find it when you want to look for it, and it will appear by itself when you don't want to look for it." Russell comforted Perseus with kind words, so that Perseus didn't need to worry too much.
"I see."
Perseus thought it made sense. Although he didn't understand it very well, Russell was so smart that he must be right to listen to him.
"Brother, what are you doing?"
"I'm thinking about cutting off her head."
Russell touched his chin with one hand and thought, holding a long sword in the other hand. At his feet was Medusa, which was tightly wrapped in white chains.
Medusa was first wrapped into a rice dumpling by her long tail, and then tightly wrapped in chains. She could not see or open her mouth. Although she was awake, she could not make any sound, and it was extremely difficult to move.
This white chain comes from Russell and is his waistband, which became a chain after consecration.
"Why not cut it? Wasn't it planned at the beginning?"
"You don't understand..."
Russell pondered and did not say the reason. He was planning to chop off Medusa's head because he had not yet met Zeus at that time. After meeting him, he always felt that something was fishy.
For example, if you look closely at this temple, you will find that the incomplete sculpture in the hall is a female figure, holding a shield and a spear. If you guessed correctly, it should be Athena, the 'goddess of wisdom', one of the twelve main gods.
Considering the legend that Perseus beheaded Medusa, Athena gave advice and gave equipment, and Medusa's head eventually belonged to Athena.
Russell judged that the mastermind behind this incident was not Zeus, but Athena herself.
The three witch sisters said that apart from gods, only the eyes of Medusa can kill the sea monster Sethus.
The directivity is too strong, a bit too absolute!
Among other things, Typhon, the famous ‘father of all demons’ in Greek mythology, is not considered a god. The sea monster Sethus only serves as a food delivery to him.
The more she thought about it, the more conspiracy she got. Athena wanted Medusa's head, but she refused to do it, but asked Perseus to do it.
Russell didn't know what Athena was taboo about. He imprisoned Medusa but didn't kill her immediately. He had just arrived and had not yet figured out the confusing relationship between the gods and could not figure out the reason.
But the goddess of wisdom is so smart, and what she does must have deep meaning. If you follow someone who understands, you will never go wrong.
Russell pondered for a moment, then pulled off the pants from Perseus' head and put them on Medusa's head.
"Brother, I remembered, I have no pants."
Perseus saw the light and immediately clapped his hands: "You are right, when I didn't want to look for it, it appeared by itself."
"Stop showing off your intelligence, pick her up and go back to Argos to kill the sea monster."
"oh."
Perseus picked up Medusa, but he felt that the latter was extremely heavy. He kicked his feather shoes a few times, but he didn't fly.
"It doesn't matter, I'll throw it on the back of Pegasus later."
"But even Pegasus can't move her?"
"Fool!"
Russell slapped Perseus on the head and gave advice: "You can carry Medusa on your shoulders, then ride on the Pegasus to help share some of the weight. Isn't this settled?"
"Brother, you are so smart."
"Well, you are really stupid too!"
Russell rolled his eyes, there was no fun in fooling fools.
He took the lead out of the temple, followed by Perseus who was dragging Medusa, moving very slowly.
A whistle was blown, and the black Pegasus circled in the air several times, reluctant to fall down. There was a gloomy expression on the horse's face.
Once, he was the most handsome boy in the clan, with long black mane and flowing hair. He sweated like oil when running. His body was strong and brave in the sun. He charmed many mares.
But now...
These adventurers are simply inhuman!
Perseus followed Russell's advice and carried Medusa on the back of a Pegasus. The latter's legs swayed, and it flapped its wings and accelerated its sprint. It took several hundred meters to stumble and successfully lift off into the air.
"Brother, I'm going back to Argos first, you should hurry up."
Perseus waved with all his strength and patted the Pegasus on the head. The latter roared and cried blood, and headed towards Argos at full power.
When he was a thousand meters away, Perseus lowered his horse's head and landed on the ground. He put Medusa on the horse's back and he rode on Medusa.
"I'm exhausted. Please work hard, Ma. I'll take a rest and take over later."
Tianma: "..."
…
At the entrance of the temple, Russell waved to Perseus's back and told the adventure team that the mission was successfully completed. They should hurry up and rush back to Argos, and they might be able to catch the celebration party.
"Through everyone's unremitting efforts, we have completed the impossible task. You are all the pride of Argos and have made an indelible contribution to defending the country."
The soldiers cheered when they heard this, and Dragu touched the fat meat that overflowed from the armor, with a look of confusion on his face.
Did you work hard?
when?
Everyone returned the same way to the Styx Ferry, where Charon would wait for them as agreed.
Ai'e struggled for a long time, then took the initiative to approach the son of Zeus and asked her doubts: "Why did Perseus bring back a complete Medusa? Shouldn't her head be chopped off?"
Russell shook his head slightly: "There is something fishy going on. I think there is a conspiracy here, and I don't want to be used as a weapon."
"But Perseus can't control Medusa, so she has no reason to help us defeat the sea monster."
"Yes, when her life is in danger."
Russell was very sure: "Change the sacrificed princess to Medusa. If she doesn't petrify the sea monster, she will be eaten. She will work hard to save her life."
"..."
Ai'e was speechless for a moment, and was thinking about how to classify Russell correctly, when suddenly her feet rumbled and trembled, and she saw a small hill moving rapidly towards here from a long way away.
The black monster is on all fours, its body is extremely majestic, more than ten meters tall, like an enlarged fighting dog.
It has three heads, a snake's tail, and its hair is coiled with venomous snakes.
The three heads were ferocious and ferocious, spitting out red flames, purple poisonous smoke and black fog respectively, leaving mottled burn marks on the ground wherever they passed.
"That's...Cerberus!?"
Ai'e pulled out her long dagger and called for everyone to hide.
Cerberus, the three-headed dog of hell, guards the gate of Hades for Hades. It allows the souls of every deceased to enter the underworld, but prohibits any soul from leaving.
Likewise, the gate to the underworld guarded by it prohibits the living from traveling to and from it.
Such a powerful monster, and one of the priests of the underworld, is far stronger than Medusa, and the ordinary humans in the team are no match for it.
Russell didn't want to cause trouble, so he followed Ai'e's advice and huddled with her behind a black rock in a very low-key manner.
It was obvious that a small corner could only cover one person, but because of shame, two people were squeezed out.
"Don't look at me like that, you asked me to hide."
"Yes, I am a bitch."
Ai'e glared at Russell fiercely and probed to observe the whereabouts of the three-headed hell dog. She didn't understand why it didn't guard the gate of the underworld, but ran to the edge of the River Styx for a walk.
"It may be to divide the territory. Dogs have a strong sense of territory."
Russell made an assumption, but Ai'e decisively ignored it. The three-headed hell dog only looked like a dog, but in fact it had the blood of Titans and was a powerful monster. Otherwise, it would not have been selected by Hades to guard the gate of the underworld.
Boom!!
The three-headed hell dog was lying on all fours, its six eyes blazing fiercely, and it was gradually moving away amid the tremors of the earth.
Ai'e breathed a sigh of relief and moved away from the black solid stone. The next second, Russell grabbed her arm and dragged her back.
"you……"
"Don't talk, don't make a sound."
Russell covered Ai'e's mouth and tilted his head in the direction where the three-headed hell dog left. After a moment, the black mountain moved back.
The three-headed hell dog strode forward, with the head on the left sniffing the smell of meat in the air, the head in the middle showing its fierceness, and the head on the right opening its bloody mouth, dripping saliva.
Soon, three heads locked on the position of Russell and others, roared and roared in unison, scratched the ground with their forelimbs, leaving claw marks, and rushed towards them.
"According to my many years of experience, the dog wants to eat meat buns."
After Russell finished speaking, he dropped Ai'e and accelerated with his toes, leaving sunken spider web cracks in place. He used the reaction force to increase his speed to the limit in one breath.
His body disappeared, leaving behind an afterimage. When he reappeared, he was already in front of the three-headed hell dog. He kicked out his right foot with great force and steadily hit the head in the middle.
boom!!
Time froze slightly, and half a second later the air exploded. The head in the middle of the three-headed hell dog was slightly deformed. A powerful impact spread from the neck to the whole body, and the body slowly floated off the ground.
The afterimage whizzed past, Russell retracted his feet and fell on the spot. Countless smoke and dust exploded on the ground in the distance, as if water was floating around. The huge body of the three-headed dog bounced up and landed three times in a row before stopping.
The group of people headed by Draco were slightly startled, but they were not too surprised. They had known for a long time that Russell was not an ordinary person and was more powerful than Perseus.
"Russell, no, that's Cerberus. Even if you can defeat it, it will attract the attention of Hades."
Ai'e whipped up a strong wind and landed next to Russell, advising him not to cause more trouble.
"What do you mean, it depends on the owner to beat the dog?"
Russell raised his hand and pointed at the three-headed hell dog that got up: "Don't be stupid, woman, it's not that I want to cause trouble, it's the trouble that provokes me."
"Why?"
"If I guess correctly, Cerberus did not guard the gate of the underworld, but came here. It should be the intention of Hades, the king of Hades."
"What's the meaning?"
"Hades sent his dogs over to investigate the origin of the golden branch."
Russell made a rational analysis. If someone's wife's token suddenly appears, they must always investigate it.
"But the golden branch was given by Zeus..."
Ai'e shut up mid-sentence. Yes, where did Zeus get the golden branches? There is a big problem here.
