Chapter 40: The Underworld and Hades
Chapter 40: The Underworld and the Underworld
On the other hand, Chu Hao and others naturally didn't know what happened to the Reincarnation Army. They were led by Ai O toward the underworld. As they approached the underworld, the earth became more and more desolate. Some wild animals that occasionally appeared had already disappeared here, and even monsters could not be seen. According to Ai O, the only creature that could survive in the underworld was probably the only monster three-headed dog. This is a monster that can rely on devouring souls to survive. It is called the gatekeeper beast of the underworld. But in fact, this is a monster, not the soldiers under Hades, but also the only life form that survives near the underworld.
As they walked along the way, when everyone was about to reach the Styx, it was already night that day. Everyone built a camp when they were about ten kilometers away from the Styx, then set up camps, assigned sentry guards, etc. During this period, Perseus also took two hunter brothers to hunt a hell three-headed dog...the cub, the hell two-headed dog with only two heads.
"In fact, it is not entirely true to say that it is a young beast. In terms of age, this hell double-headed dog is indeed an adult. Even until it is old and dies, it cannot grow a third head. This is related to its bloodline and strength. Perhaps there are other hidden factors. I don't know. It is said that many monsters, giant beasts, and even monsters have their original ancestors. Those ancestors are said to be stronger than gods. Their descendants inherit part of their power and bloodlines, but are more or less incomplete. Not only this hell three-headed dog, such as thunder eagle, such as Hydra, the strongest Hydra I have ever seen, but only has seven heads intact, and the strongest Thunder eagle leader is only two and a half meters high. The legendary Thunder eagle ancestor is seven or eight meters high, and the body is full of thunder and lightning, which can also cause the sky thunder to fall. The power of this legendary Thunder eagle ancestor is comparable to Zeus."
In the camp, Ai O was talking to everyone about the biological rumors she knew, while Chu Hao listened with relish. Although his expression still looked like I knew this before, he remembered this information deeply in his heart. This information may not be used now, but with the progress of the world of reincarnation, there will always be times when it is used in the future, and these information seems to contain some profound meaning.
Just as Ai O tells everyone the stories of these myths and legendary creatures, the supper was ready. In addition to the godmothers everyone brought, there was also the double-headed dog I had hunted before. But then again, the double-headed dog looked very curious, but the meat was extremely delicious, oily but not greasy, and it seemed to taste like the tenderest veal. After Chu Hao and Zhang Heng and the soldiers of the Reincarnation Army, they felt that their stomachs were always hot, not painful, but a warm and comfortable feeling of their stomachs, which also made them confirm that this meat was indeed not ordinary meat.
"Maybe... I often eat meat from legendary creatures like Hell Three-Headed Dogs and Unicorns, and I can awaken the fighting spirit faster. This is much more convenient than staying in these high magic planes for a long time."
Chu Hao said this very quietly, only Zhang Heng next to him heard it, and Zhang Heng immediately looked like a thief and said in a low voice: "What do you mean is that eating more meat from this type of creature can you have Dou Qi? That is the kind of shining golden light all over your body?"
"It's just possible!" Chu Hao said angrily: "Just make the actions you should do. Don't whisper, you will immediately become so vulgar, as if you hope others will find out... I just mentioned a possibility. After all, we are all born and grown from the plane of Demonlessness, and we don't have the opportunity to study the various attributes of the plane of Demonlessness, and we cannot know the mechanism of awakening the internal power of the fighting spirit, so we can only infer from some logical judgments. The simplest logic is that the biggest difference between the plane of Demonlessness and Demonestation is whether there is spiritual energy, and
The essence of spiritual energy is to allow organisms and non-organisms to absorb them, thereby producing various changes in the plane with demons, such as internal force, such as fighting energy, such as magic, or superpowers. To put it simply, it absorbs spiritual energy and how much spiritual energy has been absorbed, resulting in the difference between demons on the plane, as well as the difference between low demons and high demons. So to absorb, what is there to absorb faster than eating? So from a simple logic perspective, eating food from this world, especially eating high demon food from this world, can definitely make people have Dou Qi, internal force or superpowers faster."
Zhang Heng suddenly realized and said, "Oh, I understand. What you mean is that in the plane where the low demon begins, foodies are invincible, right?"
"...You're so reasonable that I'm speechless..." Chu Hao said unhappily.
"good!"
Zhang Heng suddenly made a move, and then walked directly to the campfire to give the hind legs of the already ripe wolf, then walked back to his position as if no one was around, and then started to chew and eat it. By the way, the size of this two-headed wolf is not the size of the wolf on earth. It can be called a giant wolf, almost the size of a cow on earth, so a hind legs cannot be eaten by one person...
Chu Hao was speechless at Zhang Heng. He was too lazy to care about the idiot and funny killer's actions. He just ate some dry food and went to the place where the Styx was alone. He planned to see the Styx with his own eyes. He was very interested in this world, no, the existence of the world after death.
Since Chu Hao entered the world of reincarnation, he has often searched for various myths, history, science fiction, ghosts, legends and folk songs, and even included virtual information, such as the SCP series, or the Cthulhu myth series, etc. As far as he knows, in many civilizations around the world, there is a river in the afterlife in the world mentioned in many civilizations around the world, and this river is generally the place where the souls who have just died, such as the Nai River in Chinese mythology, the Santu River in Japanese mythology, or the Styx River in Western Greek mythology, etc. This is actually a very strange thing.
You should know that these civilizations had very little communication in ancient times, and some civilizations had no communication at all and were distributed everywhere on the earth. In that case, almost all descriptions of the same rivers of the afterlife were produced. If such a situation is a coincidence, it would be really too coincidental, right?
"Is the Styx?"
In the darkness, Chu Hao walked towards the edge of the Styx without any worries. In fact, he really had nothing to worry about. In this world, his strength may not be as good as any of the gods, and may be inferior to some legendary creatures. For example, he probably cannot match the Siren, but for most creatures in this world, his strength is overwhelming. After having the divine nature, his strength has reached a certain critical point. He is quite clear about this, so he has no worries along the way.
In this way, Chu Hao came to the edge of the Styx easily. Then what he saw was a vast "river" like the sea, which was simply beyond his sight. You must know that Chu Hao's eyesight is not the kind of ordinary people at this moment. Almost as long as he can see it, he could see it as clearly as a telescope. And his vision at night would not have any obstacles. He could see at least dozens of kilometers away, but he still couldn't see the end of the Styx.
"No need to continue to look at it. The Styx does not have an end, at least from a physical level. Even if it is just a tributary of a tributary of a tributary of a river Styx, it still has an end. You can actually regard it as a small part of the external projection of a special plane called the Styx, and what you see is a small part of the projection of this special plane in this plane. The real Styx does exist at a higher level, and it must be a saint, or God, who can directly see and understand things. If you have to describe and explain it, then you might as well consider the Styx as a concept, a concept of certain specific existence in the multiverse, similar to the existence of the bottomless abyss..."
When Chu Hao looked at this boundless and endless so-called "river", a voice sounded behind him. He had heard this voice, which was Hades' voice and one of his main goals this time. But what made him feel incredible and inexplicable was that this voice was speaking words that should not be spoken by Hades, so he immediately turned his head. Sure enough, Hades stood behind him. At this moment, Hades was many different from the treacherous Pluto in the movie. If he had to describe it accurately, Hades looked more vicissitudes and a kindness.
"Meet again, my lord, Hao..."
Hades is an old man. He is smiling at the moment, but the words on his mouth are constantly on his face. He continued, "It is really a very unexpected thing to be able to come here to meet you. Dao Biao went to the Eye of the Eye of the Great Desert, which caused a few loopholes in his surveillance, but I don't have much time left, and the loophole will be closed in fifty-seven seconds, so I try to make a long story short."
"If you want to fulfill your great wish, then first of all, you must get back your memory, at least part of it. Secondly, you cannot accomplish anything with great wishes and memories, so you must get back your strength. Your memory and strength are in the only core fragment that has been preserved, right in the lonely mountain, guarded by Bahamut's direct descendant, his youngest son, Smaug, but please remember that Smaug is the real body, not a projection. Although its power and memory are also sealed, in the only plane, it has the opportunity to unseal the seal. No matter what the situation is, you must avoid such a thing, remember..."
"Don't believe too much about what you have not seen with your own eyes, and what you have witnessed with your own eyes, whether it is good or bad, whether it is good or evil, there is no absolute good or evil in this world..."
"Please try to consider any dialogue or decision with Daobi. Daobi may be for your own good, but as Daobi itself, he often has no choice..."
"Finally... As my Lord's subordinate, I just hope that my Lord can think about it again at the last moment... You have done too much for our clan. In fact, you don't need to do this to this point, so..."
But Hades's words only ended here. Suddenly, a light flashed in front of Chu Hao's eyes. He vaguely saw a mysterious and yellow aura sweeping over. Then, Hades showed a confused expression. Then, he seemed to be shocked, and his whole body made a warning move and floated back dozens of meters away. At the same time, he looked at Chu Hao with a nervous expression and said, "What have you done to me? Why am I here?"
