Chapter 124: Escape from the Underworld

Xia Chiyu and Gu Qinyan took Charon's boat and headed forward on the River Styx. You can see a large number of geisters floating in the River Styx, their expressions numb and indifferent. Xia Chiyu carefully observed the wandering spirits in the river, and suddenly turned to Charon and asked, "This river should be the river of forgetting souls, right?" Can I reset my skills? ”

"Would it be useful for you to ask an NPC like that?" Gu Qinyan couldn't help but sneer on the side.

"As long as the keyword is mentioned, the NPC will answer, although sometimes ...... The words are not in place. Xia Chiyu replied.

Sure enough, Charon replied: "The Forgotten Soul River does have the effect of forgetting the experience of this life, but these spirits have forgotten their experience in this world after soaking in this river for a few years, do you also want to soak in it for a few years?" ”

"So how do I get the item to reset my skills?" Xia Chiyu continued to ask, Charon snorted and said with a gloomy expression, "You must go to the source of the Forgotten Soul River...... It only takes a drop of the Forgotten Soul River there to make you forget the experience of this life, but ......" Speaking of this, Charon sneered.

"It's just that there are monsters." Xia Chiyu pursed his lips and said, "It's obviously an NPC, and it's still tricky." ”

Immediately, the two fell silent and continued to move forward in the canoe. Arriving on the other side of the river, Charon had drained the geyists from the ship, and they were on their way again.

"Have you ever thought about strengthening your other spells?" Gu Qinyan suddenly asked at this time.

"How do you mean to strengthen?" Xia Chiyu asked as he checked his nails.

"I mean, your most threatening skills right now are all light magic, but they're too expensive." Speaking of this, Gu Qinyan paused and added, "Of course, there are also forbidden spells. But I think it's too gambling, and I only rely on a few big skills to decide the battle. On the contrary, your other spells can only have effects such as accumulating buffs and auxiliary controls, and there is no threat. ”

"That's right." Xia Chiyu held his chin and groaned.

Looked at. Gu Qinyan continued: "So, if you can improve it, so that your other spells can also have higher damage, it should be more stable in battle, and it is not so desperate." ”

"Well, it's good to mention yì......" Xia Chiyu nodded, and then held his chin and groaned: "However, it is difficult to have such an improvement, after all, I am a light mage." Unless you add some restrictive effects...... For example, design a pre-class skill. When this skill is activated, you can get a certain boost when using other spells alone...... What do you think? ”

"Those are the two modes? And your Seraph? Gu Qinyan asked on the side.

"No, I prefer to be able to stack with the Seraph, after all, my light spells also need to be used alternately with other spells to stack damage, otherwise the attack power will not be enough." Xia Chiyu muttered to himself in deep thought, "Moreover, if this skill can allow me to consume a little less mana when using the forbidden spell, it would be even better...... For example......"

Speaking of this, Xia Chiyu suddenly had an idea: "Hey! I've got an idea! I think this design will be very nice! ”

"What's the design method? Let's hear it. Gu Qinyan said lightly beside him.

"Hey. It is...... It's ...... like this," Xia Chiyu whispered back, "What do you think?" ”

Gu Qinyan frowned and muttered in a low voice, "Hmm...... If it worked, it would feel pretty powerful. But the specifics depend on the balanced values of the skill formula. However, if it can be achieved, then you are in full state. Maybe you can unleash two forbidden spells...... And it also fits your style of play...... Awesome......"

"Hey, let's just settle it like this first, and then slowly get familiar with it when the time comes." Xia Chiyu said with a smile.

Charon continued to carry them forward. After about ten minutes, the boat stopped on the shore. By this time, the river had become much narrower, and it was clear that it was almost at the end of the river.

"Hee-hee-hee, I can only send you here." Charon sneered, "I'll be in danger even further, so good luck to you two......"

Saying that, Charon was about to get on the boat and leave, but at this time Xia Chiyu said: "We still have to book a ticket for the return trip, are you going to leave like this now?" ”

Charon laughed, "You don't need a ticket to go back, we'll see you on the other side of the Styx." ”

"And I'm not going to send you another piece of equipment." Gu Qinyan said coldly, put his hand on the handle of the Taidao knife at his waist, and pounced on Charon. The blade of the sword danced, and then a few flashes of sword light flew from Charon's body. But Charon waved the oar in his hand, and the light sound of swords connecting swords came, and Gu Qinyan's slash was immediately bounced away.

"Yes, one less piece of equipment can barely fight, and two less pieces of equipment can be gg." Xia Chiyu also agreed, and the staff was aimed at Charon, summoning several vines to entangle him and the oars in his hand.

"Hah!" With a scream, Charon broke the vine, and the oar smashed head-on at Xia Chiyu: "Don't underestimate me, mortal!" I'm a god too! Do you think you're going to be killed by you two mortals just yet!? ”

The oar penetrated Xia Chiyu's body, but then he turned into a phantom and gradually dispersed, and Xia Chiyu's real person appeared not far behind Charon, and the staff quickly stabbed out three times: "Three flashes of light, tower cage!" ”

The golden light connected into a pyramid to lock Charon, and then after Gu Qinyan inserted the sword back into the scabbard, he immediately pulled out the double-edged sword and used the two instruments and four elephants, holding the double-edged sword, turning around with his right hand and slashing down at Charon, cutting out a waning moon-shaped arc, and picking out a second waning moon-shaped arc on the double-edged sword in his left hand: "Eclipse Moon Slash!" ”

Immediately, he canceled the two instruments and four elephants of the double-edged sword, reached out and pressed the handle of the Taidao on his waist, held the knife with both hands, and the sword qi rotated in a circle to form a full circle: "Swallow the sun and slash!" ”

In the end, Gu Qinyan took a small step back, pulled out the iron sword on his back waist and slashed obliquely, and the dense sword qi slash fell from above Charon, penetrating Charon's body like a downpour: "Falling Star Slash!" After these three combos, Charon's health has dropped to more than fifty percent, and Xia Chiyu immediately waved his staff to draw a six-pointed star: "Six stars break through the sky, and the light teeth are buried!" ”

The magic circle emerged from Charon's feet, but Xia Chiyu immediately summoned three fireballs to float around Charon, and six rays of light instantly crossed out from the six points of the six-pointed star, passing through Charon's body, and detonating the three fireballs at the same time.

This combo directly killed Charon, and his health quickly reduced to zero, but he did not die immediately. Instead, he slowly knelt on the ground and said with a smile: "Even if you kill me...... You don't have a chance...... Get on the boat for the return trip. ”

With that, Charon fell to the ground, and his body turned into rotting maggots and scattered in all directions. Gu Qinyan took a step back with some disgust, and snorted coldly: "Tsk, it's obviously an NPC, so it's quite good at making Xuanxuan." ”

"Well, once it may be a trick, but if it is repeated, it may be that the system is reminding us. It can be really difficult. Xia Chiyu held his chin and groaned, "Moreover, it is very likely that the system is reminding us that we can't kill the boss, and we need to use other methods to control or avoid the boss, and then seize the task items......"

"You guy...... Did you design this game? Gu Qinyan asked with a frown.

"If you're familiar with the urine of the zuò group, then this game becomes very simple." Xia Chiyu shrugged his shoulders and said, the two of them continued to walk upstream along the river.

I walked like this for a while. In front of him appeared a gray plain, both the land and the plants were gray, and the gray area had no signs of life, but in front of this grassland. A huge temple appeared, somewhat resembling an ancient court. Seeing this, Xia Chiyu hurriedly stopped his pace: "It's a little wrong." ”

"How?" Gu Qinyan asked on the side, "Isn't it just to follow the river?" ”

"Earlier, if I'm not mistaken, this is the Pastoral of Truth. The court in front of it was supposed to be the judgment seat, where the triumvirate of the underworld would judge the dead, and the sinners would be sent to the place of pain to be punished. The innocent person can live happily ever after in a happy place. But...... To proceed, it is necessary to pass through the palace of Hades, the king of Guò. ”

"Hades? How many levels of enemies do you think it will be? Gu Qinyan snorted and laughed.

"I don't know, let's go and see the level of the three giants of the underworld, and we'll almost know." Xia Chiyu shrugged his shoulders and said, Gu Qinyan nodded, and the two blended into the ranks of the deceased, all the way to the judgment seat.

These deceased were no longer conscious, they just moved towards the judgment platform numbly, no one escorted them, and no one drove them away, so Xia Chiyu and the two of them were mixed in and no one found out. After entering the judgment platform, there is a path in front of you that leads to a suspended platform, and below the platform is a bottomless abyss, from which three black-robed giants slowly rise.

The three Inquisitors were none other than the Triumvirate of the Underworld, Radamandis, Aiagos, and Minos.

"I'm cǎo, the eighty-fifth level boss monster...... Hairing. Xia Chiyu glanced at the door of the judgment table, and couldn't help but scold, "Such an inference, Hades King Hades is a proper level ninety boss." ”

"So, it looks like we're going to avoid them." Gu Qinyan frowned and looked back at the river, "Can't we go to the other bank and cross this distance?" Or with that guy's boat......"

"It's not realistic, on the other side of the River Styx is the Land of the Dead, and the souls of the dead who can't afford to pay Charon for crossing the river will have to wait on the shore for a year, and then Charon will take them across the river for free. So there's a river bank full of wandering ghosts, and if you stay there and move forward, I'm afraid you'll continue to accumulate debuffs like the Dead Yin Land because there are too many dead souls. Xia Chiyu shook his head and said, "Moreover, the water in the river is already very shallow, and the metal boat can't go far." ”

"Then you're going to teach me what the to do, right?" Gu Qinyan said impatiently, "This can't do this, that can't work." ”

"Yo? If you are stupid and dare to scold people with confidence, you are also the best. Xia Chiyu said disdainfully, and then came to the river to look at the flowing river, the soul of the dead was slowly floating upstream in the water, "The palace of the Hades, the place of happiness and the place of pain are guarded by the Hades, the god of sleep Shupnos and the god of death Danadus, so there is no need to think about it. ”

"Not to mention, we can't even get past the judgment seat guarded by these three judges." Gu Qinyan didn't have a good airway.

"Then there's only one option left, right?" Xia Chiyu said, pointed to the right and said, "Let's go over there and have a look." ”

"Does this lateral movement make sense? I can't move forward much at all. Gu Qin said unhappily.

Xia Chiyu smiled, and then suddenly scolded angrily: "Then where the do you like to go!" ”

Gu Qinyan was stunned, muttered something, and followed Xia Chiyu honestly. The two of them walked all the way through the Truth Field, and then ......

"What the is this, why are you back?" Gu Qinyan looked at the river in front of him and frowned.

"No, it's not the same river as the one before." Xia Chiyu squatted down by the river and said, "First, we definitely didn't take a detour. It's always been a straight line. Second, you see, the souls in the river are going downstream, and the souls of the dead in the previous river are going upstream. Remember? ”

"Indeed...... Moreover, the souls of the dead in this river are crying. Gu Qinyan looked down and observed the river and said, "Why is this happening, aren't there two rivers in this way?" Shall I take the water of that river? ”

Xia Chiyu smiled at this time: "That's the case, I did hear that there are two rivers in the underworld. the River of Agoron, known as the River of Pain, the one that Charon was responsible for extraditing; The other is the 'River of Wailing', the Kokutes River, which is made up of the tears of the deceased who are serving their sentences, and the cries of the dead can be heard from the river. ”

"But you haven't answered. We should take the water of that river. Gu Qinyan frowned and said impatiently, "What's more, there is an extra river here, and it doesn't feel like it will help anything, right?" Are we still unable to move forward, or do we have to move forward in some way or with some kind of prop to avoid all the various gods? ”

"I don't think so, because AO is set so that you can only use certain means to avoid enemies if you are within five levels of level. And the enemies to avoid are generally below the boss monster. Xia Chiyu raised his index finger and explained. Do you remember Charon saying we would never come back alive, right? Because of such a large number of gods in front. ”

Gu Qinyan nodded, and Xia Chiyu continued: "So, I think, although it's just a guess. But it is basically certain that the gods in front of him cannot be avoided, and even if they find a way to hide themselves, they will definitely die. So, I think. There is another way to get the Forgotten Soul River. What do you think ......?"

As he spoke, Xia Chiyu came to the River of Pain and squatted down, opened the inventory and took out a few crystal bottles: "These revenants are swimming in the Agron River. And going downstream in the Kokuts River, could it be because the two rivers have a confluence point upstream? The spirits of the Agron River made a circle upstream and entered the Kokuts River. ”

"You mean, mixing the waters of two rivers?" Gu Qinyan frowned and asked, "Okay?" It's a bit mysterious. ”

"Anyway, I have no other way, a dead horse as a live horse doctor." Xia Chiyu pursed his lips and said, "When we come back at level ninety, maybe we can still defeat those things in Hades." After all, their HP is not designed to be too large or too little, but normal HP, which means that they can be killed. ”

As he spoke, Xia Chiyu put the water of the Kokuts River in his backpack and walked towards the Agron River with Gu Qinyan.

"And, you see, although this is a level seventy copy, only Cerberus at the door and Charon crossing the river are level seventy monsters, which means that we actually only need to clash with these two monsters." Xia Chiyu explained.

The two went all the way back to the edge of the Agron River, Xia Chiyu said as he poured some water from the Agron River into the crystal bottle containing the water of the Cokutes River, and a crystal light flashed from the crystal bottle.

I saw that the water in the crystal bottle continued to concentrate, from a full bottle of water, and finally concentrated to only one drop, and the river water in the other three crystal bottles was also like this. Xia Chiyu clicked on these crystal bottles to check the attributes.

"The water drops of the Forgotten Soul River, after use, can make the player reset the skill ......" Xia Chiyu said, and suddenly grinned: "It's done!" Although it is a little different from the legendary Forgotten Soul River, the water drops are water droplets. ”

Gu Qinyan held his chin and snorted coldly, "I really made you blind...... Legend has it that the River of Forgotten Souls allows players to reset their skills indefinitely for three days, and the function of the water droplets is somewhat weakened, but ......"

"Can you please stop complaining, can you tell me what your use is on this trip?" Xia Chiyu said dissatisfiedly.

"It's useful to make sure you don't get killed by the kobolds at the door on the next return trip." Gu Qinyan snorted coldly.

Xia Chiyu paused, then shrugged: "Okay, it makes sense." ”

Immediately, the two found Charon's boat and rowed back.

Since the battle area in this dungeon cannot be teleported, you must go out to defeat Cerberus and get out of the battle before you can use the teleport function to return to the guild.

"I don't know what's going on with the ** warlock." Xia Chiyu sat on the bow of the boat and muttered to himself.

"I think it's a bit hanging." Gu Qinyan rowed the boat and said, "It's not that I look down on them, but in terms of IQ, I think the two of them still need to be improved, especially when you make a comparison." ”

"How so?" Xia Chiyu smiled bitterly, "It's true that Lacey is a stupid person, but wake up that guy, although he looks like a stupid person, but in fact, his IQ is not low, so it should be fine." What's more, if the soft one doesn't work, the hard one will come. ”

The two made their way back to the other side of the Agron River, and after going ashore, they passed through the gardens of Persephone, which were planted with pure black aspen and fruitless coconut palms, and finally came to the gates of hell again. However, Cerberus, who was supposed to be guarding the door. At this moment, they had already come to the inside of the gate, blocking the way of the two of them.

"I, I smell it...... The taste of the living. One of the heads of Cerberus roared in a low voice, and then the behemoth slowly stood up, a mountain-like oppressive force spread, and the monster's head opened its eyes one after another, dozens of heads and nearly a hundred pairs of eyes, staring at Xia Chiyu and Gu Qinyan.

"Ah, it's you ......," the biggest head of Cerberus sneered. You remember what I said. ”

"Ah, remember......" Xia Chiyu said, and then coldly raised his staff and shouted: "The dragon roars!" ”

Lightning turned into a dragon and flew towards Cerberus, and several of Cerberus's heads opened their mouths and began to bark. The dark green slime splattered in all directions, and when it fell to the ground, puffs of green smoke came out, and where the venom disappeared, poisonous plants such as aconitum grew out. And Xia Chiyu's thunder and lightning were directly dispersed by the barking of this vicious dog!

"Forty-five skills can't hurt at all!?" Xia Chiyu said to himself in surprise.

Gu Qinyan used the two instruments and four images to turn into two iron swords, and put on a posture of drawing the sword: "Extreme? Chop ......"

The two swords danced at high speed. Due to the speed of the sword qi slash's flight, the slash became sharper and sharper, changing from a crescent moon to a sharp arrow. Suddenly, the sword qi in the shape of a feather arrow flew towards the hellhound, falling like an angel's feather: "Winged Wind Sword Dance!" ”

The sword qi stabbed at Cerberus, but it couldn't do much damage to it, and Cerberus's health was slow to drop.

"The damage is a lot lower...... Gu Qinyan frowned and said, "Sure enough, is it because the equipment guide he gave him when he crossed the river before has his stats dropped too much now?" ”

Xia Chiyu also knew that something was wrong, they were missing one piece of equipment was the main thing, and the other point was because this was the land of the dead, they didn't belong here, and Cerberus Cerberus was a creature here, with the power of the world of the living, it was difficult to defeat the hellhound of the world of the dead, unless it ...... Xia Chiyu looked at the aconitum plants on the ground, and suddenly had an idea.

"Then don't fight it!" Xia Chiyu shouted, and the staff hit the ground, "Devil grass, devil's grip!" ”

Those aconitum plants turned into gray-brown demon vines, trapping the hellhounds like two hideous demon hands, while Xia Chiyu glanced at Gu Qinyan, and the two ran towards the gate of hell together.

"Abominable humans! No, I won't allow the living to leave this ......" Cerberus's roar completely disappeared as the slowly closing gates of hell closed, and Xia Chiyu and Gu Qinyan immediately left the battle.

"It's a great job." Xia Chiyu shook the crystal bottle containing the droplets of the Forgotten Soul River in his hand, and grinned at Gu Qinyan. And Gu Qinyan snorted angrily: "How do you know that guy doesn't have to fight?" ”

"Because there are also legends that there are many heroes who escaped without fighting it, such as Orps and Aeneas...... I took the plunge and gave it a try. Xia Chiyu shrugged his shoulders and said, and then he breathed a long sigh of relief, "However, the idea has worked." ”

Gu Qinyan laughed angrily and replied, "I really convinced you." ”

"Okay, don't worry about that, go back to the guild first, and wait for those two guys to come back!" Xia Chiyu put away the droplets of the Forgotten Soul River, and the smile on his face became intimidating: "I'm about to start a new skill." (To be continued......)
