Chapter 158: The Boat of Candles [Second Update]

The River Styx is a mysterious river that leads to the world of the dead.

In the whole of Faynan, there are not many Styxes, and most of the Styx appear in the most remote places of Fanan.

According to official sources, the River Styx was the main way for the Consulates of Hades to transport the souls of ordinary people to the world of the dead.

Each river of Styx has a wide range of watersheds, but the concept of this watershed does not refer to a single plane - but to flow from top to bottom through many planes of the multiverse.

Its end point is the mysterious and cold world of the dead.

Marven knew that the River Styx here was nothing more than a tributary.

Along the banks of the River Styx, there is a white dock with many [Candle Boats] floating on the dock.

Under the inspiration of the Archon of Hades, the souls of ordinary people will successfully arrive at a certain place to meet, and then be escorted to the dock and sent to the candle boat one by one.

Each candle boat floating on the River Styx symbolizes a departed soul.

The River Styx is the most dangerous place in the world.

It stands to reason that even if Marven wants to stand up to the arrangement of the snake witch, he should not be close to such a dangerous area.

It's just that there is a little problem with the Styx docks today!

……

On the gentle slope covered with moss, Marven quickly jumped off the back of the rock lizard.

He gently stroked the lizard's back and conveyed his meaning.

For the rest of the journey, he could only rely on his own feet, and the spiritual mount could no longer carry him on.

He told the rock lizard not to run around and wait for him.

Although it has been domesticated, Marven doesn't know if it will succeed.

But he was ready to return to this place, and the lizard had already run away.

Immediately after, he walked over alone.

After about five minutes, the River Styx was in sight.

Marven continued to look east. A bright lighthouse shimmered with a dim glow.

This glow will attract nearby spirits to the Archons of Hades.

Marven retracted the breath of his whole body, entered a stealth state, and slowly approached the dock.

As Marven expected, there is indeed a very crazy congestion situation at the Styx dock today!

After being promoted to the Night Master. Marven's body has been transformed, and his eyes can already see souls that are invisible to ordinary eyes.

He stood on a hillside and looked down, but saw all kinds of souls bustling, almost blocking the entire Styx docks!

Above the River Styx, rows of candle boats even drifted downstream in some congestion.

Seeing this scene, Marven was glad that he had guessed correctly; On the other hand, there is some sadness in my heart.

The reason why this is happening is naturally because of this terrible cataclysm!

One-third of the Faynan population died in just two weeks!

A large number of souls are homeless. The Archon of Hades is probably going to be busy!

Although this is very good news for the monarchs of the world of the dead; Before the cataclysm, they should have prepared in advance, but when the cataclysm came, they still did not expect that the number of dead people would reach such a terrifying number!

The docks of the River Styx are completely blocked!

A large number of undead are waiting for the Archon of Hades to deal with, and the already understaffed world of the dead is busy!

In this way, it was given to Marven a will!

A chance to sneak across the River Styx!

……

On the other side of the River Styx. It's an open mountain area, there. Entrenched in a tribe of spider-men.

As long as you pass through the Spider-Man tribe, you can bypass the rotten mushroom swamp and arrive at the final destination of Marven's trip, Devil's City.

Now the question is how to cross the river.

Because of the strategy, Marven is also handy in handling things.

The Candle Boat is a very special substance, it is the only thing that can float on the River Styx.

The waters of the River Styx. Whether it is a living person or a soul, once it falls, it will be swallowed directly.

Even if it is a god, if it is contaminated with a little water of the River Styx, it will suffer a heavy blow.

Marven, of course, did not dare to risk his life.

He stole into an area where the Candle Boat was denser. Because the Archon of Hades was so drawn to fooling around, he easily calculated a safe route!

A faint red line appeared in front of his eyes.

In the next second, Marven didn't stay anymore, he stepped on the shore with one foot, and the whole person jumped high!

His figure was like a rabbit falling like a falcon, and he landed on a candle boat with great lightness!

There was an old man with a blank expression sitting on the candle boat, and he couldn't see Marven at all!

"It's not a big problem!"

Marven was overjoyed and moved on.

According to the previously calculated route, he jumped on the candle-burning boats, and the Archon of Hades on the docks did not even notice that there was a human being able to cross the River Styx with such an opportunistic method!

After all, it is extremely rare for so many candle boats to appear on the River Styx.

I was bumped into by Marven, and Marven was lucky.

Five minutes later, he jumped on the last candle boat.

This place is less than twenty meters from the other side of the River Styx.

This distance, with Marven's strong physical fitness, is completely easy.

It's just that the moment he landed on the candle boat, he suddenly felt a pair of eyes staring at him!

That's a boy!

Unlike the indifferent eyes of the undead on the rest of the Candle Boat, this boy could actually see himself!

There was also a look of surprise on his face.

It's just that Marven's face became even more stunned!

Because he saw a familiar face, and a pair of familiar pupils!

Crimson eyes, gritty faces.

This is a Hamon man! And Isabel is of the same family.

What's even worse is that this boy is the same Hamon clan that Marven fought side by side in his previous life!

Although at the beginning, Marven only regarded it as an important task figure; But later, Marvin already has a pretty good impression of this boy named Jay!

The other party's indomitable spirit and the momentum of seeing death as if they were at home shocked Marven.

"How did Jay die?"

"Could it be that because of the butterfly effect that I appeared, he died unexpectedly in the cataclysm?"

Marven was in turmoil.

Jay also seemed to see Marven's astonishment, he looked at Marven, and suddenly said something amazing:

"I don't want to go to that world."

"When I was a kid, I heard my grandmother say that it was the coldest place in the world. I don't want to leave. ”

"Can you help me? Mr. ”

Marven hesitated, knowing that he couldn't delay more.

The boat of candles is constantly drifting downstream. If it's too late, you might be taken away!

At that moment, he gritted his teeth and directly took out the Book of Naru!

If it were someone else, he might have left it alone.

But Jay is different. This little boy has been recognized by Marven from the bottom of his heart.

He didn't want to cause this Hamon genius to accidentally become a numb undead because of his appearance!

Anyway, take him away from the Candle Boat first!
