Unlimited Survival

Chapter 2481 Entering Hades
Zi Lan shrank her tongue, "No, I'm not dead, I don't want to forget everything."

Hades said softly: "Then, there is only another way to cross the river, and that is to wait for the ferry boat, and the ferry boat will help you cross the river."

Zilan laughed and said, "It's okay to say that a guest like me needs a ferry boat to cross the river. You are the majestic master of the underworld. Why do you have to wait for the ferry boat?"

Hades said calmly: "This is the iron law of the underworld. Even I, the ruler of the underworld, cannot violate it. It is easy to enter the underworld, but it is impossible to get out. The Styx River will not flow backwards, and no one can force it." Pass through the four major tributaries, so once you cross the Styx, no one can leave. And this, this is the importance of the ferry boat."

Zi Lan frowned and asked: "Wait, you said that after entering the Styx River, no one can leave, so how did you leave?"

Hades turned around, stared at Zilan with cold eyes, and said calmly, "Do you think I'm alive?"

Zilan's pupils shrank suddenly, "You mean, you just left the underworld with your soul, and your body never left?"

Hades smiled faintly, "Yes, only here, I am the real master, I am the existence of eternal life."

Zilan frowned and said, "But, if you haven't even left the underworld, how can you send me out intact after our cooperation is over?"

Hades glanced at Zilan, but didn't speak.

"Hey! Don't pretend to be deep! This question is very important, okay!" Zilan shouted loudly.

But Hades seemed to have settled down, standing firmly on the bank of the River Styx.

I don't know how long I waited, but a European-style boat that can only accommodate two people rowed over.

The boatman rowed the boat, a slovenly man with a bare upper body, his brown hair, which had not been combed for a long time, was rusted together, his beard was thick and thick, hanging down to his chest, his eyes were blazing, The arms are strong, the nails on the fingers are all gray, and the gray stains in the nails are disgusting.

But his rowing posture is really elegant and poetic.

Such a simple boat that can only accommodate two people, in the violent waves of the blood river, did not capsize, and was extremely stable, it is really amazing.

Of course, this boat is also very special.

Various Western inscriptions were engraved on the ship's side, and the hull was not made of ordinary wooden materials, but rather made of horniness scraped off a donkey's hoof.

When the Styx ferryman saw Hades, he bowed deeply, and then stopped the boat steadily.

Hades said indifferently: "Hello, Caron."

Caron, the Ferryman of the Styx, smiled with yellow teeth, "Hello, my master."

"Take us to Hades."

"Please get on board."

Hades walked onto the ferry boat with a calm face, and the ferry boat didn't even shake, as if Hades had no weight.

Yes, the soul is indeed weightless.

Zilan followed closely and walked up, and the Styx ferry boat shook violently immediately.

The ferryman Karon roared angrily: "A living person! It is impossible for a living person to board the ferry! Get off!"

Zilan replied: "I am a guest invited by your Pluto!"

Hades said lightly: "Caron, I am indeed my guest."

Caron said helplessly: "Master Hades, the River Styx is moody. The ferry boat can only carry weightless souls, but it can't carry a living body at all. What's more, the body of a living person is a burden in the underworld. and burden, how about we kill her and only keep her soul?"

Zilan said angrily: "How dare you! Believe it or not, I made all of you Hades uneasy?"

Hades said lightly: "Caron, I believe in your ability, there must be a way to take us across the River Styx."

As he spoke, Hades took out a golden laurel branch from his sleeve and handed it to Karon.

There was a greedy look in Caron's eyes.

He snatched the golden branch and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Pluto, I will do my best to send you to the other side!"

As he said that, he started to prop up the long pole full of runes, and rowed in the rushing and violent Styx river.

The turbulent waves of the Styx River avoided the long poles and the ferry boat one after another. Although the ferry boat was not very light, it still moved forward steadily after all.

Zilan couldn't help asking curiously: "Hades, I've heard the legend about the ferryman of the Styx River. In the legend, didn't he only accept gold coins?"

Hades said lightly: "Oh? Really? Is there such a thing? I don't know."

Karon turned his head and gave Zilan a fierce look, "Little girl, do you want to talk too much? Believe it or not, I shot you into the River Styx with a long pole? Huh, let me tell you, the water in the River Styx is the same as the water in your world." Water is different! The water in the world can float feathers, but the water in the Styx River cannot float feathers! Only materials made from donkey hooves can float on the Styx River! You living person, as long as you If you fall into the River Styx, you will surely sink! Never even think about going ashore!"

Zilan quickly retracted her tongue.

As the saying goes, you can't offend the driver by car, and you can't offend the boatman by boat.

What's more, in the territory of the underworld, if the boat capsizes, only oneself will be injured.

This Caron was indeed collecting money for the ferry. Of course, what he collected was money from people who were unwilling to forget the souls of their previous lives.

And this kind of thing belongs to "gray income", Hades of Pluto naturally doesn't know, but Hades of Pluto also knows that he can't let the only ferryman on the Styx river work in vain, so he folded it from the garden of the queen of the underworld. He bought a golden branch and gave it to Caron.

Hades didn't care about Caron's behavior either, just standing on the stern of the boat like a statue.

On the shore, countless dead saw Hades, weeping and wailing bitterly, wanting to pounce on Hades, begging Hades to give them another chance to die.

However, as soon as their bodies touched the water of the Styx, they were immediately engulfed by the angry waves of the Styx.

Caron grinned and said, "Did you see the little girl? This is the power of the Styx! Everyone in the underworld, including the dead, including the undead, and even the gods, cannot pass through the Styx! They have to sit on my donkey." Hoof Ferry! Hahahaha!"

Zilan glanced at the bloody distance, "At this speed, when will we reach Hades?"

Caron grinned and said, "Why are you in a hurry? Do you know that the River Styx has four major tributaries?"

Zi Lan asked in surprise: "There is still a tributary of the Styx River? I thought this was the complete Styx River!"

Caron sneered and said, "Hmph, how could it be so simple? Very few people in this world can get out alive after entering the Underworld. Why? It's very simple, because of the protection of the River Styx! If there is no River Styx, the undead will die." A large number of them poured out of Hades, and they were resurrected from the dead! In this world, people are dying every day, every hour, or even every second! It is simply impossible to control them with the forces of Hades! So the River Styx is the best defense!"

"Do you know what will happen if the undead rush out of Hades?"

"Hey, the dead are resurrected, but their soul power is not enough to support them, so they will become zombies."

"So, if the River Styx breaches, the Hades will be fine, but the whole world will be finished."

Zilan couldn't help but gasped, "It turned out that zombies were formed in this way, I thought it would be a virus infection."

Caron sneered and said: "That's what the world says, but people in the world don't really believe that there is a world of the underworld besides the human world. Because they can't prove the existence of the underworld, so they I don’t believe in the existence of Hades, tell me, are human beings very stupid creatures.”

From this point of view...

Zi Lan frowned, "You said just now that the Styx River has four major tributaries?"

"That's right." Caron explained: "The river we are driving is one of the branches of the River Styx. The Styx River is also called the River of Wrath. After crossing this branch, you will be Cosette. the River of Sorrows, the River of Lamentation, and further in, the River of Culplegdon, also called the River of Flame, and the last one, which is the one closest to Hades, is the River of Akron, also called the River of Anguish. Now, you should understand why only ferry boats can cross the river Styx, right? Because no one can bear the torment of these four rivers of Styx, not even gods.”

Hades, who stood at the stern, said nothing, as if he didn't exist.

Soon, the ferry made of donkey hooves passed through the turbulent river of anger and came to the calm river of lamentation.

As soon as she entered the river of lamentation, the sighs of countless resentful spirits rang in Zilan's ears, and she couldn't help being in a trance, and almost fell off the donkey's hoof boat.

Kalong said with a smile: "Little girl, it seems that your soul power is not bad, and you have not been confused by the sound of lamentation. You know, when normal people come here, their emotions will be severely negatively affected. The whole person will be demoralized and there will be no hope at all."

Zi Lan said coldly: "I am at least...a survivor."

Caron sneered, "Survivor? Huh!"

Zilan worked hard to stabilize her mind, trying not to be disturbed by the sound of lamentation.

She took a sneak peek at Hades, and found that Hades was still standing on the stern of the boat expressionlessly.

Also, as Pluto, it would be too funny if he would be affected by the lament on the river Styx.

However, the soul power carried by these lamentations is indeed very strong.

People are dying every day in this world, and people are sighing every day, and all the desperate sighs have turned into the river of lamentation.

In fact, the most frightening thing is not the long-lasting lamentation, but the lamentation that the river is too calm, without even a little ripple.

It's like a pool of stagnant water, with no direction, no end in sight, so desperate that you are about to suffocate, and you can't help but want to lament.

However, Zilan held back, all the uneasiness and bad emotions in her heart were also suppressed by her efforts.

I don't know how long I paddled, the temperature suddenly rose, and the surrounding area was full of raging fire.

This is no longer a river of lamentation, but a river of flames.

The water here was like burning magma. Where the ferry passed by, ferocious flames licked crazily, as if they wanted to burn the ferry completely.

Zilan subconsciously shrank her body to prevent Huomiao from licking her hair.

Caron sneered and continued rowing.

Hades, the king of the underworld, still maintains this sculpture-like standing posture, standing at the stern.

His black robes were bathed in flames, but showed no signs of burning.

Is this a special effect of Pluto's robe?

Zilan frowned slightly, and immediately realized that the robe on Hades was nothing special from ordinary robes.

Hades' hair was also licked by the flames, but the strands of hair were not burnt.

There are only two explanations for this, one, Hades is immune to flames, and two, the flames here are not real flames, but a kind of resentment like flames.

Zilan is more inclined to the latter.

After all, this Hades is not the body, but just a soul body similar to a clone.

So the flame here should be the fire of resentment.

Of course, Zilan didn't dare to try it lightly, after all... If you don't die, you won't die.

Karon rowed the ferry slowly, and after an unknown amount of time, the river of flames finally passed.

Zilan let out a long breath of relief.

Immediately afterwards, the ferry came to the Akeron River, the River of Distress.

This river is more like a normal river. The river is not turbulent, nor will it turn into sighs and flames, but a solid liquid.

Kalong laughed and said, "Little girl, do you like this river?"

Zi Lan said lightly: "This river is not bad."

Caron laughed and said, "If you know that this river is full of tears from relatives of the deceased, you probably don't think so."

Zilan was taken aback, "You said the river is full of tears?"

Caron said with a smile: "Yes, people die every day in this world, so there will be family members of the deceased crying bitterly every day, so this river of distress will continue to flow."

Zilan laughed and said, "If people don't die one day, wouldn't your river be dry?"

Caron said with a smile: "It is impossible for this world to be immortal. When this world is immortal, it will be the end of the world."

Zi Lan smiled, "That's true."

Hades standing at the stern suddenly said, "Here we are."

Zilan was startled, and looked around blankly, and found that she was still in the middle of the distressed river.

Caron grinned, reached out and grabbed a rope, and fixed the ferry on a trestle that suddenly appeared.

Zilan suddenly felt dizzy.

After this dizziness disappeared, the scene in front of him suddenly changed, and a gloomy and grand spiers castle appeared.

This is Hades.

A group of Hades guards in black armor all over their bodies appeared beside the trestle bridge, and with a bang, they knelt down on one knee towards Hades.

"Welcome His Majesty Pluto back home!"

Without saying a word, Hades stepped through the Hades guards.

Zilan also jumped off the boat, and the dexterous ferry immediately shook violently.

The ferryman Karon hurriedly stabilized his center of gravity, so that the donkey's hoof ferry would not capsize.

Zilan turned her head and smiled, "I'm sorry, Brother Caron, by the way, can I still find you when I go back?"

Caron smiled coldly, "Yes, as long as you get paid, and then say three times silently about the Ferryman of the River Styx, I will come by boat."

While saying this, Caron thought in his heart: "Little girl, you still leave the underworld? You can ask the queen of the underworld, she is a god, even she can't leave!"

While thinking, Caron rowed away.

The River of Distress has once again returned to its former state.
