Chapter 116: River Styx
Chapter 116: River Styx
The outside of this tower is covered with moss and celadon red bricks. It looks quaint, but the door is closed and no one is guarding it.
The tower stands tall and straight, and Shuwen estimates it to be at least thirty meters long. From the outside, one can see that the tower has no windows. If it wasn't for the spire at the top, it would look more like a chimney.
Xia Kela looked at the tower: "It should be here."
Amjad responded: "I didn't remember this tower before. It should have been built after we were sealed and sent away by our father."
Bagir observed the surroundings: "There are no guards here, and Dracula probably doesn't know the usefulness of this place."
Xia Kaila nodded: "Go in."
This tower is connected to the Hero's Road in her mouth, Shuwen thought as he followed them.
Or should we say that the tower itself should be connected, then the Hero's Path should also be in another dimension or this tower should be a teleportation tower?
Pushing open the door and entering the tower, the tower was dark and dark. Xia Kela cast magic, and the magic power in her body surged. When she turned around the tower, the bottom floor was lit up.
As the light came on, the spiders on the top of the tower moved up and down, crawling into the shadows. Looking at the floor, they saw footprints.
Looking up, it seems to be an endless spiral.
Xia Kaela walked in front, and as she stepped forward, the lights hanging on the wall lit up step by step.
All the way up silently, to the top is a large room with a fireplace, sofa and chandelier, and there is a door directly opposite the fireplace.
Shuwen looked at the door and became more and more sure of his idea: "The path of the hero you talk about is another different dimension."
Xia Kela was nervous subconsciously, but nodded immediately: "According to your mage, it should be considered."
Sure enough, it is a different dimension. This place can be connected to another dimension, so the different dimension should also be able to connect here. It is rare that you can enter my place and I cannot enter yours.
As long as it can be connected here, it means that people from other dimensions can enter the earth through here without raising the alarm of the Karma Taj dimensional defense system.
This situation is too dangerous. This is just waiting for the dimensional version of stowaway.
So is this underground kingdom considered an alien dimension or a part of the earth? This is a fishing boat specially designed for smuggling.
Thinking of this, he was even more curious about the underground kingdom.
Xia Kaila opened the door, and the world behind the door was no longer the scene of an underground kingdom. All she could see when looking down was darkness and gloom. The sky was not visible in the distance, and there were only downward stairs nearby. Except for the stairs, there is no other support, no walls, no lights.
This door is enchanted and is a portal.
Xia Kela poked her head out, then retracted again: "We need torches."
He was about to dismantle the sofa to make a torch.
Shuwen took out props from his pocket and distributed them to everyone, and everyone walked down the stairs holding torches.
Although there is a light source, the light here seems to be somewhat suppressed, and the radiation is not far away.
Shuwen silently memorized the number of steps, but when he remembered , he disliked the number too much, and only vaguely felt that it might take two or three hours to walk away.Finally, step down and step on the ground, instantly giving people the illusion of landing.
This staircase is also somewhat magical, no matter where the person stepping on it is, as long as they have not stepped down the steps, they will not be able to see the real height.
After landing, there is a cave. The stones in the cave are black and weird, with stalactites hanging on the top, and everyone advances along the only road.
Like the stairs, it was also very dark here, but because of the space, the lights illuminated clearly.
This passage was also very long, and Shuwen thought it took about two or three hours to walk.Here the watch is useless.
Both Frank and Wade were soldiers, and their sense of time is stronger than that of Shuwen. Regarding Shuwen's feeling, Frank expressed his senses: "It's not just three hours, but more than four hours."
Wade confirmed Frank's feelings.
After walking for about an hour, it suddenly became clear, the surrounding area became wider, and the darkness seemed to become thinner.What is even more surprising is the appearance of sound.
There were only their own voices in the passage, but now there was the sound of running water.
Crash.
Crash.
Everyone walked over quickly, and immediately saw a river that ran across and led to an unknown place.
Stepping on the desert outside the cave, the surrounding area seemed to become colder.
Shuwen looked at the river and couldn't help frowning.The river was black, like ink.It's just like ink, but the river water still makes people feel uncomfortable.
Just as he was thinking, a boat suddenly floated above, and a skull with a cloak was ferrying across the boat.
Shuwen stared at Xia Kaila: "This is hell."
Xia Kela was about to speak, but the skull who came by boat shook his head and said, "It's not hell yet, this is the River Styx. Only after crossing this river and reaching the other side of the river, can we go to hell."
The other party corrected Shuwen's statement.
Shuwen frowned even deeper.
His fears seemed to have finally come to pass.
Sure enough, it was possible to smuggle.Sure enough, the underground kingdom can be used as a smuggling ship. As long as other dimensions are connected to the underground kingdom, they can completely avoid Karma Taj's defense system and enter the earth.
Fortunately, there has been no large-scale invasion so far, which also shows that at least not many people in hell know about this passage.
And there is more than one way to come to hell, more precisely, there is more than one way to come to the Styx.
The person may not necessarily know where they came from.
Just as he was thinking about it, the skull suddenly shouted a sharp voice. Although it was a skull, he could still make a sound: "Wait, it's the breath of the living. You are not the dead, you are the living."
Everyone rushed to guard, and Shuwen temporarily put aside the matter of Xia Kela taking them into hell.
Just when everyone thought the skull was about to attack, he suddenly said, "I haven't seen a living person for a long time."
Then he grabbed the oar in his hand and paddled the river, and was about to leave.
Xia Kaila hurriedly shouted: "Hey, stop the skull!"
The skull stopped and turned degrees to look at Xia Kaila. The expressionless face seemed to be saying: "What?"
Xia Kaila shouted: "Boatman, we must cross the river and take us there, otherwise we will kill you."
The skull slowly turned around and said while turning him: "Sorry, I only carry dead people across the river, but if you are willing to wait a few minutes, then I can carry you over for free."
He was talking, but he didn't see any movement, and suddenly there was movement around everyone.
The ground shook like an earthquake, and small holes suddenly appeared. The small holes looked deep, and suddenly hands came out.
They sprang from the ground to the ground.
A bunch of zombies.
