The northern mountain range is close to the Styx River. Thousands of birds can't fly over the mountains. The environment is appalling. It is a standard restricted area of life and no living person can get close to it.
The vast mountains stretch endlessly, pitch black without a trace of green. The tops of the mountains are shrouded in dark clouds, and you can't see your fingers. Lightning flashes from time to time, and thunder rolls incessantly.
There are high mountains, some are covered with magma fissures, high temperatures distort the air, and some are bone-chillingly cold, freezing to the bone.
It is hated by humans and gods, and is occupied by countless monsters as its territory.
In fact, this is indeed the case. This mountain range is the territory of Phorcys, the 'Father of Monsters', a primitive sea god who symbolizes the 'wrath of the sea'.
After the rise of the Zeus family, the divine power of the ocean was taken away by Poseidon, and Phorcys became the angry king of monsters.
Perhaps because of the original god, although Phorcus is the grandson of Gaia, the mother goddess of the earth, he is also the son of Gaia...
Well, that's not important.
In short, although Phorcus has noble blood, his appearance is really not to be complimented. Most of his daughters have inherited hateful genes and have the power of gods, but they are treated as monsters.
Among them, the more famous ones are the three sisters Siren and Gorgon, as well as the three sisters of the Styx Witch 'Graai' who are the targets of everyone's trip.
By the way, Gorgon is the Gorgon, and Medusa is the youngest of the three sisters. She was killed because she was too soft to pinch.
Of course, this is also related to her offending Athena.
Rumble————
A thunder streaked across the sky, and everyone moved forward holding torches. With the sudden flash of bright light, they could see the black mountains in full view.
After arriving in the mountains, no one dared to ride the Pegasus anymore, and even walked with caution.
Russell suddenly realized that he had been surprised before. In Perseus' equipment, the feather shoes and the black pegasus had overlapping functions, which was obviously unnecessary.
Only now do I understand that the feather shoes are Perseus' exclusive props, while the Pegasus is a means of transportation that can be used by everyone.
"The Pegasus that person threw is quite humane."
Russell muttered, and suddenly there was a bright flash of light, and the silver thunder snake danced towards him, hitting his divine inspiration.
"..."
Everyone was speechless. It seemed that Russell had been hit too many times along the way.
"You bunch of fools, don't look at me like that. Why does lightning only hit me every time? Haven't you got the B number yet?"
Russell snorted coldly, feeling worried about everyone's IQ: "I didn't want to say it originally, but I had good intentions and attracted the thunder to myself. Not only did you not appreciate it, you also questioned my luck. I can only say it loudly."
"Brother, you are so kind."
"you shut up!"
"..."
Everyone looked at Russell speechlessly. It made sense. It perfectly explained that lightning only struck Russell and not others, but... what was wrong?
Under Ai'e's guidance, the group walked along the black scorched earth mountains and arrived at the peak shaped like a huge palm, where the Styx Witch lived.
Graai means 'old woman' and 'grey witch' in Greek, and the combination means old witch.
The three sisters are strange in appearance. They are humanoid but not human. They share one eye and one tooth. They are Peverido, who represents "vicious", Enyo, who represents "violent", and Deno, who represents "terrible".
"A visitor is coming."
One of the three sisters, no one knew which one, walked out of the cave with a huge eyeball in her palm.
"who is it?"
"Give me your eyes, I want to see too."
"..."
They look terrible, and their level of curiosity is comparable to [Silent Hill], but the problem is that the nurses and sisters in Silent Hill are not good-looking enough, and each one has a devilish figure.
Russell didn't dare to look, and focused on Ai'e. In comparison, she was like a white light in the dark night, a proper goddess.
I wonder if this goddess poops, will it be pinched?
Ai'e kept silent and took two steps away from Russell. Her eyes were so cold that she must be thinking about something very rude.
"Witch, we are Argosians, and we are here to find a way to defeat the sea monster." Dragu said straight to the point.
No one paid attention to him. The three witch sisters surrounded Perseus and touched him randomly, leaving saliva while touching him.
"Perseus, the young son of Zeus, so fresh, strong, handsome, and full of energy."
"The bloodline of the King of Gods."
"Give me your eyes, show me quickly."
"..."
Perseus was scratched for a while. The witches were so ugly that he subconsciously moved closer to Russell.
Bang!
After being kicked on the butt, Perseus fell to the ground and was stacked on top of him by the three witch sisters who followed him. Just as they were laughing and laughing, they suddenly realized that something was wrong.
Where have the eyes gone?
Crack! Crackling————
The crackling of firewood and the boiling sound of a large pot made the three of them look towards the source of the sound.
Russell squatted beside the pot, holding a big eyeball in his hand, frowning and said: "Is it better to stew it in one pot, or roast it?"
"Russell, calm down."
"Yeah, is this thing really edible?"
"I'm about to throw up!"
"..."
The atmosphere suddenly went awry. The three witch sisters squeezed through the team and came to the pot to try to get their eyes back.
They stumbled over something unknown, and the three of them fell to the ground. Before they could get up, a chill felt on their necks.
Russell threw out three long swords and pierced the ground diagonally. The sword blades were close to the necks of the three people, making them dare not move rashly.
"Tell me, Sea Monster Xiang... Bah, what is the weakness of Sea Monster, and how can I defeat him?"
"Impossible. The sea monster Sethus is a monster created by Hades using his own flesh and blood. It has great power and no one can kill it."
"That's right, no one."
“Only God can.”
"..."
"Haha, this interrogation is so formal. Why didn't you entangle them?" Ai'e mocked.
"You are such a vicious woman. When you are unlucky, you want others to be unlucky too... Oh, why bother women?"
Russell sighed at Ai'e, lowered his head and said fiercely: "Stop doing this with me and answer my questions, otherwise I will roast this eyeball and feed it to yourselves."
As soon as the words fell, the three witch sisters suddenly panicked. Their intuition told them that Russell was different from others and had the ability to do all this.
"Medusa!"
"Medusa's eyes can petrify everything she sees, and she can kill the sea monster Sethus."
"Cross the mountains and reach the other side of the River Styx, where is the prison where Medusa is imprisoned."
The three witch sisters sold Medusa instantly. What's worse, Medusa is also their sister.
With the information in hand, Russell threw his eyeballs, hitting the three of them, and called everyone to rush to the next stop.
"Wait, young... I don't know how to describe you..."
The three witch sisters called out to Russell: "You have unparalleled power, as unstoppable as a god. Your father must be a powerful god."
"It's hard to say whether it's divine or not, but it's powerful... It's really possible."
Russell left without looking back. His father, Luo Hantang, had the Mediterranean hairstyle of the local support center and was only one step away from the strong.
As everyone left the strangely shaped mountain peak, a bolt of thunder fell and struck Russell steadily.
Ai'e seized the opportunity, stepped forward and said, "Things have suddenly become difficult. We can't control Medusa. What are you going to do?"
"Cut her head off!"
Russell casually gave the correct answer and added: "This is the original plan. We just have to follow the process step by step."
"Original plan?"
"yes!"
Russell nuzzled at Perseus: "On the way, in addition to defensive armor, shields, and running shoes, he also picked up the divine sword 'Hepal' and a magic bag to hold living creatures. , which says it all.”
"You mean..."
Ai'e's eyes flashed, showing an expression of sudden realization.
"The divine sword 'Hepal' is not suitable for fighting, but the owl's head is very handy. The magic pocket cannot store living things that are too big, but it is just suitable for holding a head."
After speaking, Russell shook his head. If these were written by Zeus, it can only be said that Hades's plan to sow discord was seen through.
After listening to Russell's analysis, Ai'e couldn't help but sigh. If this is the so-called fate, then Perseus, like her, has no choice but to do so.
"Do you think Perseus is a puppet of fate just like you?"
"You think so too?"
"Ai'e, don't belittle yourself. There is still a difference between you and Perseus."
Russell patted Ai'e when he saw him, his eyes were burning, and he encouraged: "He is half-human and half-god, and the son of Zeus. His talent and bloodline are extremely good. You can't compare with him. You can't even compare to him in terms of chest muscles. Stop thinking nonsense." .”
(?_?)
Ai'e was stabbed severely when she needed care the most. Ai'e was so angry that she didn't talk to Russell for a long time.
…
The River Styx is so far away that you have to climb mountains to reach it, and it takes at least three months of hiking.
Fortunately, there was no shortage of transportation and lightning rods, and everyone was able to reach the Styx Ferry in two days without any danger.
In the distance, a green phosphorescent light paved a winding path, and translucent shadows were arranged neatly, with stupid faces, walking slowly on the path.
"The souls of the dead are waiting for Charon, the ferryman of the underworld. If we want to reach the other side of the River Styx, we can only take Charon's boat."
Ai'e had a headache and said: "Charon only ferries for the dead. The living want to take his boat, unless they have the golden branches in the garden of Persephone, Queen of the Underworld. The problem is that we don't have them."
"What kind of garden?"
Russell asked curiously, if there is a garden with sprinklers, he is very familiar with it and knows the way.
"Brother, there's something flashing over there. I'll come as soon as I go."
Perseus trotted away. Russell shrugged upon seeing this and raised his eyebrows and said to Ai'e: "Look, this is the difference. I have a good old man who delivers ladders to rooms and shoes to people. Why do you compare with them?" ?”
Ai'e was so angry that her chest hurt, and she vowed never to say another word to Russell again.
At this time, the mountain stream moved strangely, and screams echoed endlessly.
"Brother, save me————"
