In fact, Zeus's description of Iheuti was inaccurate.
She is not really a demi-human.
True demihumans, such as Castalia, simply have some of the characteristics of a lion in their body structure.
But Iheuti is different.
As the goddess of fertility.
The Elk Goddess is not only rich and generous, but also has a hidden powerful vitality that is rare in the world.
The most obvious manifestation is that she has two life systems that can maintain the operation of physical skills.
From the waist up of a human body, it is no different from a human being, with all the organs present. From the waist down, it is the body of an elk, which also has a set of organs belonging to an elk.
At first glance it seems a bit crude and confusing.
Isn't this equivalent to combining a human from the waist with an elk's chest?
But this is not the case.
Only superiors like Jiang Lu and Zeus, who are also gods, know how precious this physique is.
Although as long as there are people who believe in them, gods are theoretically immortal.
But in fact, if like Nyarlathotep, you first make the gods lose their ability to resist, then imprison them, and then erase their faith, death will only happen sooner or later.
So at this point, Iheuti obviously has a huge advantage, because unless Iheuti's two life systems are destroyed at the same time, there is no actual threat to it at all!
If only a certain life system is damaged, then they will feed each other back and rely on divine power to repair injuries that are fatal to humans in a short period of time.
With such characteristics, Iheuti may not be considered the most powerful of the gods, but she must be among the most difficult to deal with.
The young wizard, Jiang Lu, was asked by Yihewuti to be in front because of her strong charm, so that she could always be wrapped in pleasure and joy by seeing Jiang Lu's eyes.
Jiang Lu originally came here to help Zeus realize his wish. Although he didn't dislike Iheuti, an existence that had surpassed the purity of demi-human blood, he really didn't have any preferences or interests, so he didn't care about it.
But when he planned to act as a leader, he accidentally discovered the secrets of Iheuti's body.
When Jiang Lu discovered this, he was also quite amazed, because he had never been exposed to this magical body structure before, let alone imagined that one individual could have two sets of life systems.
This also caused him to rarely show his ignorance due to his lack of knowledge when appeasing Iheuti.
"Why do you have two belly buttons?"
With a blushing face, Ihewuti stretched out her hand to press down the gold waistband that was lifted by Jiang Lu, covered her lower abdomen again, and muttered:
"Then that's not the belly button."
Jiang Lu was stunned for a moment, then nodded calmly: "Sorry."
"It's okay." Yihewuti lowered his head, deliberately messing up his long, white and smooth shawl hair, covering his face, and quietly looked at Jiang Lu's reaction through the gaps between the hair strands in embarrassment.
"Isn't that weird?"
Jiang Lu is a person with strong empathy. He immediately noticed Yihewuti's inferiority complex. Although he didn't know why a noble goddess would have such emotions, he was extremely sure that this was what he liked. The kind of uneasiness one feels when one's weaknesses or flaws are exposed in front of others.
The reason why Jiang Lu is Jiang Lu is precisely because of his terrifyingly powerful mentality and unimaginable tolerance.
He felt that he must use an extreme method to protect the self-esteem of the restless girl in front of him.
So, as naturally as he would smell it subconsciously after taking off his socks, he put the finger he had just withdrawn under his nose and took a breath, then looked satisfied.
There is a tiger in your heart, smell it carefully!
This action made Ihewuti's heart tremble.
She could not help but compare the man in front of her with Nyarlathotep.
If it were him, would he do such a thing for me?
The answer instantly came to her mind.
"What did you say?" Jiang Lu pretended not to hear Yihewuti's question "Is it weird?" and asked knowingly.
"No, no, I didn't say anything." Iheuti lowered his head.
At the same time, Zeus was fully prepared.
Compared to Jiang Lu, Zeus is not at a disadvantage.
Perhaps the two of them stand together and are evenly matched, but that is still compared with Jiang Lu. If compared with the gods of Greece and even the entire universe, Zeus is definitely far ahead.
He is worthy of the legend he left behind. With only the materials in the kitchen of the oak house and the various fragrant flowers outside the oak house, he was able to rub floral essential oils with his hands and attract Iheuti, who spent all day in the sea of flowers. The gods are itching.
"Miss Iheuti."
Zeus smeared the essential oil on his hands and raised his hands like a surgeon in front of the operating table:
"Then, physical therapy will begin."
"Then please."
Jiang Lu originally just wanted to be a spectator, but after discovering Yihewuti's secret, he changed his mind.
He also poured essential oil into his hands like Zeus, and then smiled gently at Iheuti: "I may be a little unfamiliar. If you have any discomfort, please tell me at any time, okay?"
"Yeah, okay." Ihewuti nodded with a hot face.
Zeus was a little confused, frowned slightly, and tapped Iheuti's deer body with his hands soaked in essential oil, and his fingers made a weird beat on her skin.
Jiang Lu didn't react for a while, but as he took a closer look, he suddenly thought of something.
Morse code!
You are really versatile, my friend.
As the last blow fell, Jiang Lu also understood what Zeus wanted to say.
【what's the situation? Who is coming? 】
After thinking for a moment, Jiang Lu placed his fingers on Yihewuti's shoulder.
[Proceed as originally planned, I won’t compete with you. 】
【oh? So what are you doing? It's hard to end like this. 】
[You may not believe it, but she has two belly buttons, but one belly button is not a belly button. 】
【Um? 】
Zeus first looked at Jiang Lu in confusion, and then suddenly realized.
【Oh~】
【got it? 】
【learn! 】
【We are in the same boat, advancing together and retreating together! 】
[Master Jiang, try to attack her in the middle! I'll cut her off! 】
The two of them turned into pianists, and their fingers were flying around Iheuti's body.
Not long after, Ihewuti, who didn't know what was going on, was already on the bowstring, unable to dismount.
But this is just the beginning.
Although Jiang Lu and Zeus were just laymen, as the saying goes, a good doctor becomes a good doctor after a long illness. He had never eaten pork and had seen pigs run away. Their green tricks were more than enough to fool Ihewuti.
Pressing method, kneading method, pushing method, rubbing method, rubbing method, holding method, pinching method, hitting method, point method, rubbing method, twisting method, tapping method, and vibration method.
Ihewuti was clearly arranged by the thirteen massage methods of the two people.
The numbing sensation brought by the massage made Yihewuti's four slender legs involuntarily bend up, and her hands tightly hugged Jiang Lu's arms.
Jiang Lu and Zeus exchanged looks, both showing a look of determination.
When the time comes, cross the river in white clothes!
Listening to Yihewuti's cry in the oak house, Huang Xiu'e breathed a sigh of relief and finally let down all her guard.
In her opinion, as a cat owner, since this kind of sound appeared, the enemy must have been suppressed and beaten by her two stupid servants, so she didn't have to worry anymore and was ready to use her claws at any time.
So she went to catch butterflies in the flower garden with peace of mind.
But what surprised Huang Xiu'e a little was that the battle lasted for a long time.
There was no movement several times, and she thought Jiang Lu and Zeus would soon capture the enemy alive from the house, but after a while, the fighting started again.
Huang Xiu'e was a little confused.
Obviously listening to the sound should have a huge advantage, but why can't we always tell the winner?
Could it be that the enemy's vitality is so powerful?
She couldn't understand it, so she simply stopped thinking about it.
Anyway, it doesn't matter if you can't beat him, she will use her claws on her own.
Until nightfall, everything finally returned to calm.
Not long after, the three of them walked out of the oak house one after another.
Zeus walked in the front, his face full of joy, it could be seen that fighting was so exciting!
Jiang Lu came out side by side with Yihewuti.
As they walked, Jiang Lu warned: "As long as you do what I say, your husband will definitely fall in love with you again."
"Really?" Yiheudi asked happily.
"Of course." Jiang Lu nodded: "The healing fruit can not only heal the body and mind, but also repair the relationship between people. But there is only one thing to note. You'd better not take a shower before he comes back and wipe it. Enough."
"Okay, I remember it." Yihewuti said gratefully: "Thank you, Mr. Wizard."
"Then, let's say goodbye first." Jiang Lu said goodbye to Yihewuti.
Zeus bowed: "Thank you for your hospitality."
"No, no, I'm the one causing trouble for you."
After bidding farewell to Ihewuti, the two took Huang Xiu'e and left the oak house.
Lying on Jiang Lu's shoulder, Huang Xiu'e looked at Ihewuti who was holding the door frame and felt very puzzled.
Is this person an idiot? It's really strange to be beaten and still happy.
The two people who left the oak house went straight to the sleeping maze.
They have two things to do.
The first is to determine the status of the gods imprisoned in the maze, and the second is to find a way to lure Nyarlathotep to sense the changes here and rush back from the underworld.
As they walked on the road, Zeus was obviously worried.
"Is it really okay?"
"It's definitely no problem." Jiang Lu smiled confidently: "Even Nyarlathotep couldn't have imagined that I poisoned his precious wife, and he would definitely fall into the trap!"
"Then I'll just believe you."
Zeus chose to trust his brother, but out of shock, he couldn't help but ask:
"But is syphilis considered a poison?"
"Jie Jie Jie." Jiang Lu looked proud: "You are wrong, this is not ordinary syphilis."
"That is."
"This is the King of Poisons, a collection of more than 20 infectious diseases including HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, genital warts, herpes, hepatitis B, scabies, candidiasis, molluscum contagiosum, chlamydia trachomatis infection, Bowen-like papules, etc., and was fused and enlightened by me, the evil god, to become the King of Poisons!"
Jiang Lu said slowly:
"If you are poisoned by me, even a god! I will kill you to show you!"
"Although these words should be very domineering, I don't know why I feel a little strange." Zeus took a deep breath.
"Haha, it doesn't matter whether it's a black cat or a white cat. Any cat that can catch mice is a good cat."
"So, how do you plan to name this poison?" Zeus asked.
"Well" Jiang Lu rubbed his chin and fell into deep thought. After thinking for a while, he came up with a good idea: "Then let's name it after the first goal and use an allusion."
"How to say?"
"This poison is called: Dalang, go to sleep."
Zeus thought for a while and felt it was inappropriate: "Is it too long? And it sounds a bit unclear."
"Then what did you call it?"
"Nyarlathotep and Iheuti each have a sound." Zeus thought for a while: "What about Neti's poison? It can also coincide with the way of poisoning."
"This sounds a bit obscene." Jiang Lu had reservations about this: "It feels like it damages my demeanor."
"You say it as if it's not obscene. And you have the demeanor to post it?" Zeus said angrily.
"Then let's do it." Jiang Lu waved his hand.
Naming is not something he is good at, otherwise he would not have come up with names like Huang Xiu'e and Zhu Jianye.
Anyway, as long as you can get by.
While the two were talking, they had arrived at a sleeping maze in a basin. The maze looked like a circle from above, with intricate roads and traces of the operation of many mechanisms.
In a palace in the center of the maze, many people who were chained were locked in iron cages, listless and unable to move for a long time.
They are obviously the imprisoned gods, who were deprived of their divine power by Nyarlathotep in some unknown way and turned into mortals.
As soon as he arrived here, Zeus just glanced at it casually to confirm that he was not looking in the wrong place, then turned his attention to the maze itself, and said with some surprise: "It looks a bit like the Minotaur maze."
"Really? I'm not sure." Jiang Lu didn't feel anything special. He just asked, "It's the maze where the Minotaur is imprisoned, right?"
"What tauren? That's my nephew after all."
Although Jiang Lu had never seen the Minotaur Labyrinth, he had heard about it.
To put it simply, King Minos of Crete did not send the promised sacrificial bull to Poseidon, the god of the sea.
The petty Poseidon possessed the bull and seduced Queen Pasiphae, the wife of King Minos. Soon after, the queen gave birth to a monster with the head of a bull and the body of a bull.
In order to hide this monster called the Minotaur, King Minos ordered Daedalus, the best craftsman on the island, to build a labyrinth to imprison him. This labyrinth was called the Labyrinth of the Minotaur.
Thinking of this, Jiang Lu couldn't help but sigh with disdain: "Alas, Greece, alas, Poseidon."
"What do you mean?"
"It's hard to say." Jiang Lu shook his head.
"But Poseidon is indeed a born." Zeus said happily.
"But can this be considered a maze?" Jiang Lu looked down at the entire sleeping maze: "It feels like just finding an escape room is more complicated than this."
"I don't know what this maze is like, but if it is similar to the Minotaur maze, it actually relies on a combination of mechanisms and divine power to achieve an effect that is called a ghost wall over there."
Zeus analyzed:
"The mechanism alone cannot contain so many gods, and it is difficult to do this with Iheuti's divine power alone, so I am almost certain that Nyarlathotep's divine power is attached to it."
"You understand so well." Jiang Lu guessed something: "Crete is all mortals, and at most they can only set up some traps. Combined with your understanding of the maze and the maintenance of your nephew, let me guess, the maze you are talking about The divine power in it is not yours, right?"
"It's mine."
Zeus did not hide anything and admitted frankly:
"Although he is possessed, the Minotaur has also inherited part of Poseidon's divine power, and the mechanism alone cannot contain him at all.
Poseidon hates his child and does not want to see him one day, but it is not convenient for him to exert divine power to suppress the labyrinth, so he can only ask me to help him.
The Minotaur was a kind boy, but it was not his fault. "
Obviously, Zeus had some affection for this Minotaur nephew, but according to the records in the myth, he had been killed in the labyrinth a long time ago. I don't know what Zeus thought about this matter, but at least he must have felt uncomfortable.
"Sorry, I won't call him Tauren again."
Jiang Lu patted Zeus's shoulder comfortingly.
"It doesn't matter, it's all over." Zeus said with relief.
"So." Jiang Lu brought the topic back: "How should we lure Nyarlathotep back through the layout of the labyrinth so that our Minotaur plan can proceed smoothly?"
"What the hell?" Zeus suspected that he heard wrongly.
"I'll tell you how to lure Nyarlathotep back."
"I'm not asking about the latter part."
"How to make the Minotaur Project go smoothly."
"Why is it called this plan?"
"Aren't we the Minotaur Nyarlathotep?"
Zeus looked at it carefully, and then said angrily: "I told you not to call him Minotaur. You just changed all the Minotaurs to his name, right?!"
Jiang Lu frowned when he heard this and said: "Just replacing keywords won't work. It seems that it still needs to be combined with the context."
"You're fucking artificial intelligence running the model, right?!"
"Okay, okay." Jiang Lu calmed Zeus's emotions and finally said seriously: "Let's talk about business."
"Can you please stop making it sound like I'm being unreasonable?"
Faced with Zeus's accusation, Jiang Lu simply chose not to listen.
In desperation, Zeus had to give up arguing with him and said: "It is very simple to lure Nyarlathotep back. There are two ways to make him sense the abnormalities in the labyrinth.
The first one is to enter the maze directly, then his divine power will sense our presence and rush back as soon as possible. However, I am not sure whether we can come out after entering. After all, we are just two losers now.
The second is to destroy the maze. The advantage of this is that we will not be trapped by the maze, but how to destroy it is a problem, because the stones building the maze will become extremely strong with the blessing of divine power, and it is also not something we can lose now. "
"Then just call Nodens over, right?" Jiang Lu said easily.
"It's inappropriate." Zeus shook his head: "It sounds okay, but with Nodens's powerful divine power, Nyarlathotep will be able to recognize him immediately. If he directly turns his spear and heads towards the dreamland, What about the abyss?”
"What does the Dreamland have to do with us? Isn't our purpose to save these gods?" Jiang Lu didn't care.
"Well," Zeus said again, "Then he may have other plans for Nodens and use these gods as hostages."
"Some necessary sacrifices are inevitable, right?"
Jiang Lu and Nodens are completely at two extremes. One is crazy and mentally consumed, while the other is completely inconsolable:
"We have worked so hard to save them, and we have a clear conscience. They should also be considerate of us."
"But what Nodens said is that you must see Nyarlathotep before summoning him. If it was just as simple as rescuing them while he was away, Nodens should have taken action long ago."
"If you say that, then I really can't refute it." Jiang Lu Xiaoxiong spread his hands.
Zeus sighed: "In this case, we can only go in, but whether we can come out depends on luck."
"maybe."
Jiang Lu put his left hand into his pants, lowered his head and fiddled with it for a while, then took out his left hand and raised it up like Doraemon:
"Dang-dang-dang! Evil God's left hand!"
"I thought you were going to pay for something big."
"Don't worry, there must be a sense of ceremony." Jiang Lu said.
"But what's the use?"
"Didn't you say that you can also destroy the maze itself?" Jiang Lu shrugged: "I'll just dig it out, there's no need to go in."
After saying that, he jumped out of the basin and slid down the hillside.
"Is it really useful?" Zeus was a little skeptical, but still followed Jiang Lu to the maze.
Finding a random spot on the outer wall and squatting down, Jiang Lu skillfully picked at the wall, just like he had done to help Isina get out of trouble.
Zeus, who was standing on the edge, punched the wall first, but the wall did not move at all.
After thinking about it, he picked up Huang Xiu'e, who represented the sharp tip of the halberd after absorbing the power of Nodens' trident, and asked her to scratch the wall with her claws.
But Huang Xiu'e grabbed it hard several times, but it only left some white marks on the wall, and the depth of the marks was less than one centimeter.
This made Zeus feel a little desperate.
If even Huang Xiu'e can't do it, then let alone Jiang Lu who can only become tough.
Zeus wanted to question how long it took to dig so hard, but unexpectedly, he saw Jiang Lu move his fingers a few times, and the wall that was originally built tightly began to crack. After a while, Jiang Lu actually started to dig directly. A brick fell.
The people of Zeus were dumbfounded.
"No brother, this maze is made of large blocks of raw stone. How did you manage to cut out stone bricks of this size?"
"Don't you understand yet?"
Jiang Lu said proudly: "I'm showing off my skills."
"ah?"
"I just want to create a strong setting where seams will appear even if there are no seams and I touch them." Jiang Lu explained.
"What kind of strange setting is this?"
Zeus was speechless, but he had to admire Jiang Lu's ability.
Because after Jiang Lu explained, he also understood that it was true that the maze was made of raw stones, but Jiang Lu just cut out the shape of the bricks and then pulled out the "bricks", which was more difficult than simply destroying it.
It's like the difference between stabbing someone with a knife and stabbing someone while simultaneously tattooing them.
He couldn't help but look at Jiang Lu's left hand.
They carried the divine power on the trident. Although the ability to exert it had to be discounted, it was the genuine power from Nodens after all. However, the divine power of the three of them combined was not as good as Jiang Lu's own. It's somewhat intriguing that body fragments work.
Zeus thought about it carefully, and it seemed that he had never delved into how strong Jiang Lu was in the past. He just relied on the inertia of his thinking and believed that they were all the main gods of the same world, and their strength should be almost the same. In addition, Jiang Lu's behavioral logic , and it is easy for people to overlook the fact that he is actually a main god.
Looking at it this way, I may have misunderstood him a little bit.
Thinking of this, Zeus's eyes couldn't help but become a little solemn.
At this time, Jiang Lu also said thoughtfully: "I don't know why, but I always feel that the feeling of digging at this wall is very similar to the feeling when I broke Isina's curse. I was thinking, sealing Isina Could it be that the stone statue and the seal of this labyrinth have the same source?"
"It shouldn't be. It was God who sealed the brothers and sisters, and what we are facing now is Nyarlathotep." Zeus felt that Jiang Lu was thinking too much.
But Jiang Lu, as a party involved, didn't think so.
"Hard to say."
"You mean?" Zeus's expression became solemn.
"I don't know." Jiang Lu said calmly: "It's useless to think about it now. There will always be a chance to verify it in the future."
"Yes." Zeus nodded.
So Jiang Lu stopped talking and started dealing with the wall seriously.
Not long after, he had dug a hole half a man's height into the solid outer wall.
At this point, Jiang Lu has dug through the corners of Nyarlathotep in all directions, from Iheuti to the Sleeping Maze.
"That should be enough, right?" he asked Zeus.
Zeus carefully inspected the powerful divine power contained in the wall that did not belong to Iheuti, and nodded: "That's enough, he should have felt it."
"Then let's escape first." Jiang Lu clapped his hands, stood up, and helped Zeus return to squat outside the oak house.
Nyarlathotep, who transformed into the Black Pharaoh, did not go to the battlefield of the underworld. When Jiang Lu and Zeus were exchanging experiences with Iheuti, he had already appeared in the dreamland and was waiting not far from the Great Abyss. A sea area.
Realizing that the maze had been destroyed, he smiled playfully.
"Did the old guy really take action himself?"
He thought of the two people and the cat outside the oak house, and felt a little funny.
Nodens would actually send such a fry that takes the bait as soon as he casts the bait to go against him. He is simply an old fool.
He could already imagine how lucky they were that they "happened" to mention the place where the gods were imprisoned, how lucky they were that they "happened" to go out, and how lucky they were that they "happened" to go somewhere far away, for a short while. Can't come back.
The Sleeping Maze was endowed with a carefully calculated share of divine power. To this extent, it would not have been destroyed unless Nodens personally took action. However, compared to destroying the Maze with all his strength, under the premise that he could not go back for a while, For Nodens, destroying walls one by one must save divine power and be more cost-effective.
"In that case."
Nyarlathotep smiled: "You take your time and save those trash, I'm going to be a guest at your home."
He smiled and walked towards the great abyss.
However, before he could get close to the seafloor fissure, Nordens from the Great Abyss noticed his arrival.
Facing Nyarlathotep, Nodens showed no fear at all. He galloped out angrily. Before anyone arrived, tsunamis and storms swept towards Nyarlathotep.
Nyarlathotep was surprised: "Why are you still here?"
"Is it strange that I protect the Great Abyss and Dreamland?"
Nodens felt provoked and said angrily:
"It's you, you dare to come to my territory with great fanfare and show off your power. I think you won't leave this time!"
The two have been fighting for so many years but neither can do anything to the other. The ultimate reason is that as long as they are on their respective territories, they are invincible.
So when Nyarlathotep discovered that Nodens had not left the Great Abyss at all, he turned around and left without even thinking.
Fortunately, he was vigilant enough. While recommending to the Great Abyss, he left a portal that could cross space. He could run away at any time. He even had time to angrily scold Nodens:
"rat!"
Before Nodens had time to exert any force, he saw the opponent running away quickly, like a punch on cotton, and the opponent's hand bit back, which made him furious.
Throughout the South China Sea, lightning flashed and thunder roared, and tsunamis and storms gathered together, which looked particularly terrifying under the dark clouds.
After Nyarlathotep left the Dreamland, he immediately rushed back to the Sleeping Maze to see what was going on.
When he found a big hole in the wall, he was surprised and puzzled.
Because he couldn't believe that the two people and the cat could destroy the wall without the help of Nodens and only by carrying his divine power.
This makes no sense at all.
So he subconsciously began to cover the entire planet with his spiritual thoughts, searching for traces of Jiang Lu and the others.
But found nothing.
"Left?" He frowned: "He came and dug a hole in my wall, but didn't go in, and then ran away? What the hell!"
Reluctantly, he had no choice but to return to the Oak House.
Iheuti noticed his return immediately and went out to welcome him into the house.
"Welcome home, dear husband." Ihewuti smiled like a flower.
Following Jiang Lu's instructions, Iheuti perfectly displayed her charming side in front of Nyarlathotep.
This made Nyarlathotep a little flattered.
"Yes, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have left you." He said subconsciously as usual.
"It's okay." Yiheudi kissed his lips: "The meal is ready."
"okay."
Nyarlathotep thought that Iheuti would be in a mood like before, but he didn't expect that instead of being awkward, she would bring him an unprecedented gentleness. This made Naiya's plan inexplicably go wrong. Latotip got some comfort and planned to put aside his unhappiness for a while and spend some time with his wife.
He did not notice that Jiang Lu, Zeus and Huang Xiu'e were hiding in a secret place outside the oak house.
"Back." Zeus whispered.
Jiang Lu nodded: "Now it depends on Yihewuti."
"Meow." Only Huang Xiu'e called out dissatisfied.
Jiang Lu covered her mouth and comforted her: "Just bear with it, bear with it and it will be fine. We destroyed his maze, and maybe he will find us. There is nothing we can do about it."
"Even so," Zeus covered his nose: "Do we really need to hide in the vagina of a female elephant? To be honest, although it looks like an elephant, there's no telling what it is on this planet. , it’s even scarier when I think about it.”
"This is the most spacious place I can find by opening the door without being discovered." Jiang Lu vowed: "And haven't you seen Kingsman? I have a theoretical basis for this."
Today, my mother called me to urge me to get married. I talked with her for more than an hour. It was a little late to update. It was only 8,000 yuan. Hehe, good night!
