Chapter 391 The River of the Underworld(2/2)
As soon as he said this, Senjo, Barrett, and Dr. Banks all looked over, waiting for his decision.
Although Su Lun often stays in the laboratory and makes a little appearance, everyone in the Dawn Group knows that he is the core of the team.
Su Lun frowned as he heard this, appearing very cautious. After all, this is not the sea ruins that Sir Isaac went to back then. This decision is related to the lives of everyone in the Dawn Regiment.
But there seemed to be no other way to leave Haixu.
After pondering for a moment, he asked first: "Tani, are you sure about going on?"
"no problem!"
Tani used his expertise to give an affirmative answer, and added: "The scope of this sea whirlpool is very large, and the wind direction is also stable. We just need to follow the whirlpool pattern. The strength of the 'Eternal Night' is enough to support us."
It was torn apart by the sea whirlpool. But I don’t know what will happen after it goes down. We can’t come up again.”
When Su Lun heard this, he glanced at Qian Jiao and the others, and received a firm look in response.
Everyone in the Dawn Group has absolute trust in him.
Su Lun calculated all the possibilities in his mind and said without much hesitation: "Then let's do it."
"good."
Tani's serious response came from the communicator, followed by the control command: "Sail operator is in position! Prepare to rush into the sea spin!"
The chief navigator gave the order, and everyone held their breath and concentrated.
After adjusting the sail angle, the "Eternal Night Emperor" rushed towards the huge sea swirl.
This crazy move immediately stunned the dozens of adventure groups who followed the Dawn Group behind them.
The "Black Panthers" knew something inside. Their leader "Red Nose" Miles was also an experienced adventurer. He did not hesitate to order his subordinates to throw away the heavy gold and silver belongings on the ship and follow them.
The other ships hesitated.
In such a huge whirlpool, regardless of whether they can stay stable, no one can make the decision immediately to give up the treasures on the ship that were exchanged for their lives.
The Dawn Group also ignored those strangers.
The "Eternal Night" soon sailed into an area with exaggerated vortex ocean currents. The traction force on the hull of the seawater became stronger and stronger, and its maneuverability became smaller and smaller.
"Retract the jib, keep the mainsail under control! Place half a spear to stabilize the hull!"
"Hold on tight, we're going to hit the waves!"
""
Tani's hoarse roar came from the communicator.
Under his command and control, the ship's hull was at an almost 90-degree vertical angle, riding on the ripples of the sea at an ever-increasing speed.
Everyone's hearts were hanging in their throats, and their expressions were either solemn, excited, or anxious.
Although the Poseidon-class battleship is powerful, it is so feeble when faced with the power of nature. Once it is operated carelessly and gets involved in the turbulence, the ship will be crushed into pieces by the power of the huge ocean current in an instant.
fragments.
But after a violent collision, the entire ship suddenly became stable.
The huge centripetal force stuck everyone's feet to the deck. It looked very dangerous, but like a train on the right track, it became stable.
At this time, Tani's excited voice came from the communicator: "Hahaha, the dangerous moment has been passed, and we have successfully entered the stable flow rate area of the sea vortex!"
As soon as these words came out, there were sounds of great relief on the deck.
Su Lun looked at the dark swirling black hole with no bottom visible, his eyes filled with energy.
It was a feeling of falling into an endless abyss.
Facing the abyss, fear was no longer there, but endless courage filled my heart.
The same goes for Qian Jiao on the side. Looking at each other, they both saw the fearlessness in the other's eyes.
And those around them, Lolotta, Kama, and Yabok, had never seen such a scene before, and their little faces were full of nervousness.
The sea swirl seems to have no end, leading into endless darkness.
Expectation gradually emerged among the uneasiness on everyone's faces.
This is also one of the joys of adventure. The route ahead is always full of unknowns.
In a very short period of time, the "Eternal Night" descended vertically for about ten kilometers. Suddenly, everyone saw a bright blue light in their field of vision.
After a moment of violent impact, it felt like the ship had crashed into the river from a waterfall, and the water flow became gentle.
It was pitch black all around, but there were groups of blue jellyfish-like spirits flowing through the water.
Su Lun examined it and found out that what it showed was actually [the soul of the deceased].
He was overjoyed and said loudly: "We have arrived at the 'River of the Underworld'!"
When everyone heard this, their faces lit up with joy.
Seeing this river means that they are on the right path and will hopefully get out.
At this time, Su Lun shouted again: "Everyone throw down the [Obolus Silver Coin]!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone threw a silver coin they had prepared into the water. This was to bribe the ferryman of the River Styx to redeem their souls who were supposed to go to the underworld.
"Crash!" The silver coin entered the water, and everyone in the Dawn Group closed their eyes.
In the legend of the Roman Kingdom, a large black river surges from the underworld, called the "Agron River".
Its branches are all over the major planes. After people die, their souls will float along this river to the underworld. The undead must pay a silver coin to the ferry god before they can safely cross the river by boat, otherwise they will end up in the River of Pain.
Wandering and lost along the coast, never finding a home.
Su Lun also closed his eyes. This is the rule on the River Styx. If you really see the ferrying god, you must take her place to extradite the dead souls and never go back. Or you may wait until the next successor to go there.
underworld
After paying the fare, the Yongye cruised slowly upstream on the river, and the slightest sound of water could be heard in my ears.
Mr. Jing said that the River Styx gathers all the dark laws of this plane, and flowing upstream on the River Styx will wash away people's souls and allow people to understand the mysteries of some dark laws.
Entering Haixu was an accident, and it was also a great opportunity.
An opportunity that most people will never be able to touch in their lifetime.
Everyone in the Dawn Group closed their eyes, crossed their legs, stood, or lay flat, and contemplated carefully.
Su Lun cultivated dark spiritual power and understood the "Law of Death". The breath of the Styx made him feel very comfortable.
For the first time, he felt the difference in the law of death.
The "law of death" is like a big tree, so the leaves are all different shades of green, tender green, light green, crystal green, dark green, and even the richest black.
Su Lun felt that what he understood was just one of the leaves, neither too green nor too dull.
He could clearly feel that there was darkness behind him, and they were heading in the direction where the law was becoming more and more bleak.
I don’t know how long it took, it seemed like hours or days.
Suddenly, everyone felt the light.
Su Lun opened his eyes, and when he took a look, he saw the long-lost blue sky, white clouds, and the warm sun.
The dark energy accumulated after staying in the land of the dead for a long time was also swept away, and the entire spiritual world became clear.
"Hahaha we are finally back!"
"Oh, that damn undead smell in the sea ruins made me feel that the sea breeze smells so good for the first time!"
""
On the deck, everyone had a party, immersed in the great joy of returning from the adventure.
As the River Styx flowed backwards, everyone seemed to have been cleansed in their souls. They couldn't describe the feeling, but they all had expressions of harvest on their faces.
For the first time in two hundred years, the Evernight was exposed to sunlight, and its murderous black sails looked domineering under the sunlight.
The flag of the Dawn Regiment flutters on the mast.
Not far away, the ships of the "Black Panther Regiment" also followed.
"Red Nose" Miles wanted to return to Lu Ying and guessed that the Dawn Regiment had other important matters, so he waved goodbye to Barrett.
Although a lot of treasures were lost, everything was brought back. Overall, the harvest from this trip was pretty good.
After bidding farewell to the Black Panthers, Tani used a sextant to determine their approximate location and reported: "Mr. Su Lun, we are now several thousand nautical miles away from where we first entered Haixu."
Su Lun did not forget that their main goal this time was the "void ruins". He said: "Continue sailing!"
Everyone cheered and Yang Fan set sail.
