Chapter 158: The Candlelight Boat
The Styx is a mysterious river leading to the world of the dead.
There are not many River Styx in the entire Fernan, and most of the River Styx appear in the most remote places in Fernan.
According to official information, the Styx is the main way for the consul of the Underworld to transport the souls of ordinary people to the world of the Dead.
Each River Styx has a wide basin, but the concept of this basin does not refer to a certain plane alone, but many planes flowing from top to bottom through the multiverse.
Its end is the mysterious and cold world of the dead.
Marvin knew that the River Styx here was just a tributary.
Along the Styx River, there is a white pier, with many [Candle Boats] floating on the pier.
The souls of ordinary people will arrive at a certain place and meet up under the inspiration of the consul of the underworld, and then be escorted to the docks one by one to send them to the candlelight boats one by one.
Each candlelight boat floating on the Styx symbolizes a lost soul.
The River Styx is the most dangerous place in the world.
Logically speaking, even if Marvin had to bite the bullet and sternly defend the snake witch's arrangement, he shouldn't have been close to such a dangerous area.
However, there is a problem with the Styx Pier today!
...
On the mossy-covered slope, Marvin quickly jumped off the back of the rock lizard.
He gently stroked the back of the rock lizard and conveyed his meaning.
On the next journey, he could only rely on his own feet to move forward, and this spiritual mount could no longer carry him forward.
He told the rock lizard not to run around and wait for himself.
Although it was domesticated, Marvin didn't know whether it would be successful.
But he had already made plans to run away when he returned here.
Immediately afterwards, he walked over alone.
After about five minutes of touching, the River Styx was already in front of me.
Marvin continued to look eastward, a bright lighthouse shining with dark light.
This kind of brilliance will attract nearby souls, making it easier for the consul of the Underworld to do business.
Ma Wen restrained his breath in his body, entered a stealth state, and slowly approached the pier.
As Marvin expected, the current Styx Pier is indeed in a very crazy congestion!
After being promoted to the Lord of Dark Night, Ma Wen's body has been transformed, and his eyes can already see souls that cannot be seen by ordinary naked eyes.
He stood on a hillside and looked down. But he saw all kinds of souls bustling, almost blocking the entire Styx Pier!
Above the Styx, rows of candlelight boats floated downstream in a little congested manner.
Seeing this scene, Marvin was glad that he guessed it correctly; on the other hand, he felt a little sad.
This is naturally because of this terrible catastrophe!
One-third of the Fernan population died in just two weeks!
A large number of souls are homeless, and the consul of the Underworld is probably going to be busy!
Although this is very good news for the monarchs in the world of the Dead; they should have prepared in advance before the catastrophe, but when the catastrophe came, they still did not expect that the death population would reach such a terrifying number!
The Styx Pier is completely blocked!
A large number of undead are waiting for the handling of the consul of the underworld. The world of the deceased, who is already understaffed, is busy!
In this way, Marvin will give you one!
An opportunity to sneak across the Styx!
...
On the other side of the Styx River is an open mountain, where a spider-man tribe entrenched.
As long as you pass through the Spiderman tribe, you can bypass the rotten mushroom swamp and arrive at the Devil's City, the final destination of Marvin's trip.
The question now is how to cross the river.
Because of the strategy, Ma Wen is also very comfortable in doing things.
The Candlelight Boat is a very special substance. It is the only thing that can float up on the River Styx.
The water of the Styx, whether it is a life or a soul, will be swallowed up directly once it falls.
Even if a god is contaminated with a little water of the Styx, he will suffer severe damage.
Of course, Marvin did not dare to take risks with himself.
He secretly found an area with a relatively dense candlelight boat, because the consul of the underworld was attracted by fooling around. He easily calculated a safe route!
A faint red line appeared in front of his eyes.
The next second, Ma Wen stopped stopping. He stepped on the shore and jumped high!
His figure was like a rabbit rising and falling, falling lightly on a candlelight boat!
There was an old man with a blank expression sitting on the candlelight boat. He could not see Ma Wen at all!
"No big problem!"
Ma Wen was delighted and kept moving forward.
According to the route calculated before, he was jumping on the candlelight boats. The consul of the underworld on the dock did not notice that there was actually a human being able to cross the Styx with this opportunistic method!
After all, it is extremely rare for so many candlelight boats to appear on the Styx.
It was just that Ma Wen was hit by him, and Ma Wen was also lucky.
Five minutes later, he jumped onto the last candlelight boat.
This place is less than twenty meters away from the other side of the Styx.
This distance is completely easy to deal with Ma Wen's strong physical fitness.
But the moment he landed on the candlelight boat, he suddenly felt a pair of eyes staring at him!
That's a boy!
Unlike the indifferent eyes of the undead on the other candlelight boats, this boy could actually see him!
There was also a look of surprise on his face.
But Ma Wen's face became even more shocked!
Because he saw a familiar face and a pair of familiar pupils!
Crimson eyes, gritty face.
This is a Harmon! He is of the same race as Isabel.
What’s even more terrible is that this boy is the Harmon man who Marvin fought side by side in his previous life!
Although at the beginning, Marvin only regarded him as an important task figure; later on, Marvin already had a considerable likes of this boy named Jay!
The other party's tenacious spirit and his aura of dying were shocked by Marvin.
"How could Jay die?"
"Is it because of the butterfly effect that I have appeared that he died unexpectedly in the catastrophe?"
Ma Wen was in a mess.
Jay seemed to see Marvin's surprise, and he looked at Marvin and suddenly said something amazing:
"I don't want to go to that world."
"When I was a kid, I heard my grandma say that it was the coldest place in the world. I don't want to leave."
"Can you help me? Sir."
Ma Wen hesitated for a moment, knowing that he couldn't delay it.
The candlelight boat kept floating downstream. If it was a little later, maybe I would be taken away!
He gritted his teeth and took out the Book of Naru directly!
If it were someone else, he might leave.
But Jay is different. This little boy has already gained Marvin's approval from the bottom of his heart.
He didn't want to accidentally become a numb soul because of his appearance!
No matter what, take him away from the candlelight boat first!
...
