Greece brings evildoers

Chapter 396: Charge, Charge (5.4k)

Snake-footed giant Polorus!

In the stone forest, the Argonauts, who were frustrated by one blow, immediately recognized the identity of the giant by the faint light of the fluorite.

Before the war, in order to know both themselves and the enemy, the goddess of memory Mnemosyne once opened the [Library] of the Temple of Memory and popularized the origin and composition of the Guigantes to the humans, heroes, and gods who participated in the attack and defense of Thessaly.

According to the [Divine Genealogy] in the Temple of Memory, there are 150 giants of pure blood in the Guigantes.

At the beginning, the endless mating desire of the father Uranus made the mother goddess Gaia very painful, so she united the twelve Titans to overthrow Uranus's suppression. In the end, the youngest son Kronos castrated Uranus with a sickle, and Uranus's blood splashed on Gaia, causing her to give birth to the Guigantes.

In terms of bloodline, these giants are the pure descendants of the earth goddess Gaia and the sky father Uranus. Although they were not born from traditional reproduction, their fighting talent and divine power are only slightly inferior to the twelve Titans and the three hundred-armed giants.

Among these 150 people, there are 13 most outstanding giants, 10 of whom have become the soul containers of the god king Kronos and the nine Titan gods, and can compete with the main gods of Olympus on the ground battlefield.

The last three, although they do not have the status of the main gods, are much stronger than the ordinary Gegantes giants and Olympus gods.

The snake-footed giant Polorus in front of us is one of the three.

"The little cubs that Olympus and humans bred together? What a beautiful smell!"

The snake-footed giant looked at the Argonauts who broke into the underground palace, licked his lips with his scarlet forked tongue, and his dark vertical pupils revealed a greedy grin. He immediately swung his thick black snake tail and attacked the feast in front of him.

For the giants, fighting, killing and swallowing the divine blood of prey are the most effective ways to grow, and these little mice basically all exude a strong divine aura, which is simply an excellent tonic delivered to the door.

Seeing the monster coming like the wind, Atalanta pulled out a divine pattern arrow carefully crafted by the craftsman god from the quiver, and at the same time pulled the sky bow in his hand to the full, and poured the violent power from the other side of the moon goddess Artemis into the arrow.

"Burning shadow, back moon arrow-Dark sky eclipse shot!"

Boom!

Instantly, a sharp purple-red arrow of light whistled forward, and the surging divine power smashed the dome of the stone wall. Dozens of thick stalagmites broke at the root and smashed into the stone forest like sharp spears.

For a moment, the monsters and giants who were besieging Hercules were either pierced by the falling stalagmites or forced back by the flying debris.

But this level of attack was like tickling for the snake-footed giant.

The hard stalagmites and the surging magic power flowed on his body, and were easily bounced off by the black scales covering his body, leaving only shallow white spots and dents.

At the same time, the abdomen of the running snake-footed giant contracted, and his throat moved, and a large ball of dark green venom instantly spurted out of his mouth and sprinkled on the Argos heroes' camp.

"Zizi!"

In a sharp sound like boiling oil entering water, the magic barrier hastily erected by Medea and Helen was quickly melted through, and the dark green venom took the opportunity to pour down.

Fortunately, Medea and Helen's magic barrier gave everyone time to react. Seeing the terrible corrosiveness of the poison, they immediately dodged.

But as the poison landed, a large area of ​​thick green poisonous fog instantly rose from the ground.

Several Argonauts who were closer accidentally inhaled a mouthful of it, and suddenly felt dizzy and black in front of their eyes.

The Thessaly God Blood Guards who covered them into the underground had weaker resistance. As soon as they came into contact, they bled from all seven orifices, their skin ulcerated, and fell to the ground screaming.

"Bang! Bang!"

The God of Medicine, who saw that the situation was not right, immediately took out two pottery bottles filled with powerful antidotes from his bag and threw them into the rapidly spreading dark green poisonous fog, which purified the terrible poison.

But the few God Blood Guards who were unfortunately hit before had already been poisoned into their internal organs and could not be saved.

Their limbs twisted and spasmed, and they kept scratching their bodies until they tore open their skin and flesh, took out their internal organs, and ended their lives with their own hands. Only then did those faces that were in extreme pain show a trace of comfort.

Everyone was horrified when they saw this.

Hercules saw the tragic scene behind him, and his heart sank.

The first batch of casualties appeared...

Although he had long understood that this expedition deep into the hinterland of the local area was extremely dangerous and the heroes who participated in it were in danger of death at any time, when the bad news came, Hercules still felt a little reluctant and angry.

"Bastard! You are looking for death!"

In the roar, Hercules pulled out the nameless axe and sword behind him, and the divine power of his whole body burst out, forming nine powerful slashes in an instant.

"Puff puff puff!"

A cloud of blood mist suddenly exploded on the body of the snake-footed giant Polorus, and he fell to the ground with a scream.

As a professional snake killer, Hercules always hits the vital points, and the targets he chooses are all the fatal weaknesses of snakes, such as the head, lower abdomen, heart, spine, etc.

Normally, ordinary snakes will go to hell after being hit.

However, under nine consecutive slashes, the snake-footed giant on the ground, which was almost cut into pieces, stood up staggeringly. The broken spine automatically reset itself, the broken heart grew again, and the torn flesh healed quickly. .

In just a blink of an eye, the monster recovered to its full state, its dark vertical pupils staring at Hercules, the man who posed the greatest threat to him, with sinister and angry eyes.

Damn immortality!

The Argonauts cursed secretly in their hearts when they saw the scene before them.

"Whoosh!"

At this time, Chiron took out a green-gold arrow engraved with secret texts from his quiver, bent his bow and shot it into the heart of the snake-footed giant Pelorus.

A deathly gray aura filled the air from the tip of the arrow, causing the snake-footed giant who had just stood up to fall down again, and his body's healing and regeneration slowed down significantly.

But soon, the snake-footed giant's pierced heart valve began to squirm on its own, squeezing out the arrow shot by Chiron inch by inch.

Chiron's heart sank when he saw this.

In order to deal with these giant spirits, the craftsman god Hephaestus once rushed to create a batch of immortal artifacts for the heroes of the Argonauts Expedition.

The arrow he shot just now was one of them.

But in the end, it had little effect.

After all, the giant spirits are protected by the earth, and when they step on the earth, they will be endowed with powerful self-recovery capabilities, making them almost immortal.

After breaking through the Holy Garden and devouring a large amount of magic potions and golden apples, their immortality was further enhanced.

In addition, the power of the ten Titan Temples seems to have covered the entire underground labyrinth. These mass-produced magical tools that restrain immortality in their hands are barely enough to deal with ordinary giants, but the three of them, including Porollos, are stationed underground. Although the high-level giant spirit does not have the status of a main god, its own immortality has been strengthened to the point of near immortality.

Not to mention these divine blood heroes who are equipped with mass-produced magical tools, even if the real Lord God arrives, it may not be that easy to really kill these high-level giant spirits.

"Don't get involved with this thing! The mission is the most important thing!"

Chiron once again shot an arrow that suppressed immortality into the body of the snake-footed giant, and at the same time issued a reminder to Hercules ahead.

The most effective way to destroy the nearly endless regeneration ability of the giants is to destroy the Titan Temple that continuously provides them with power and protection.

Hercules obviously also understood this truth. He immediately abandoned the snake-footed giant on the ground who was still healing himself. He swung his nameless ax and sword, slashed and smashed, and plowed a bloody path through the densely packed monsters and giants.

"There is an exit ahead, follow me!"

Upon hearing this, the Argonauts resolutely maintained a tight formation and accelerated forward with Hercules as the spearhead.

After all, their mission is not to exterminate the monsters and djinn underground, but to destroy the Titan Temple. There is no need to fight these troublesome monsters here.

And while everyone was running wildly, there was a sharp sound of breaking through the air from behind.

"puff!"

A thick, black snake tail struck like a javelin, piercing the chest of an Argonaut.

Immediately, the handsome young man vomited blood and was thrown into a group of monsters.

"Hyras!"

When Hercules in front saw this, his face showed grief and anger, his eyes were red, and he subconsciously wanted to turn around and rescue him.

This young man is not the false character disguised by his teacher Perseus before, but his real adopted son and his most trusted homosexual.

Although he couldn't win over his adopted son who insisted on participating in the expedition, he still placed Xulas in a safer rear area out of selfish motives.

But unexpectedly, this child still failed to escape his fate.

"He's hopeless, leave quickly!" Chiron shouted solemnly.

Hercules' congested brain couldn't help but cool down. He gritted his teeth and glanced at his adopted son who had been overwhelmed by the beasts and the snake-footed giant who was slowly standing up from the ground. He suppressed the grief in his heart and turned around to lead the Argonauts away. to this dangerous place.

Passing through the wavy light door, another familiar sense of spatial confusion came over me.

Before the Argonauts could recover, their bodies were falling rapidly. The dark and steep pit and the sharp rock thorns growing in it expanded rapidly in their eyes.

"Wind, with your lightness, you take away my weight. My wings are fluttering, and I soar without falling!"

As the sons of the wind god Boreas, the two Argonauts Zetes and Calais sang divine words, incited the air currents around them, and supported their teammates to fall slowly.

Poof!

At this moment, dense stalagmites fell from the dome, fast and sharp. The two sons of the Wind God, who were busy assisting their teammates in landing, were caught off guard. Several stalagmites pierced their armor and penetrated their wings.

The two Argonauts were in pain, their blood was spilled, and they were no longer able to control the airflow, and they lost control and fell into the pit together with everyone else.

Telamon and Katniss, who had quick eyes and quick hands, immediately smashed the bucklers filled with divine power into the bottom of the pit. The violent flow of magic mixed with the metal fragments of the bucklers shot out, shattering the rock thorns at the bottom of the pit, and dangerously The crisis was resolved.

"There's something coming from above... there's something coming here, hurry up!"

When the two sons of the Wind God heard the rustling noises around them, they hurriedly pulled out the stalagmites that penetrated their wings and warned their teammates.

At this time, Atalanta jumped up the rock wall and looked around at the dark surroundings. She quickly found the slightly bright exit ahead with the help of the archer's excellent eyesight.

"There is a road ahead!"

As the rocks above their heads fell, the auras mixed with monsters and giant spirits quickly approached. Hercules and Chiron decisively ordered people to help the injured Fengshen twins, and led everyone to speed through the narrow and rugged rift valley. , rush into the light gate in front before the monsters and giant spirits encircle them.

However, as soon as Xing entered the door, densely packed monsters and giant spirits discovered their traces, roaring and swarming towards them.

Everyone fought their way out and rushed towards a light door.

But new monsters and giant spirits arrived one after another.

Just like that, one fan, two fans, three fans...

Five fans, ten fans, twenty fans...

Gradually, the Argonauts, who were tired of running for their lives, faintly realized that something was wrong.

"Wait! Look at the traces here, this is the starting point where we just came in~!"

Chiron stopped the people who were looking for a way out, and pointed to an arrow mark on the stone wall with an ugly expression.

Atalanta recognized those traces left by herself, and her eyes narrowed.

"Could it be that we've been going in circles?"

When everyone heard this, their hearts were filled with gloom.

After some brief thought, Chiron issued the order.

"Change the route this time! Take a different passage and leave marks along the way!"

Everyone did as they were told and rushed through the light gate again.

Ten times, twenty times, thirty times...

After an unknown amount of time, they seemed to have finally gotten rid of their pursuers. The scenery in front of them suddenly became clearer, and a courtyard full of fluorescent plants came into view.

On a giant dead tree, seven kingfishers stood on the branches and made crisp calls.

The sweet sound is like the rhythm of a lyre, which reminds people of the afternoon sun, the soft bed, and the arms of a lover.

Even the air becomes like aged wine, mellow and sweet.

The Argonauts couldn't help but slow down, greedily enjoying this pleasant and beautiful melody, and staggered towards the dead tree in the center of the courtyard.

As the crowd approached, the seven kingfishers on the dead tree seemed to be singing more cheerfully.

Zheng~!

At this moment, a passionate note suddenly appeared, like a piece of gold or jade, it was earth-shattering, and it instantly diluted the comfortable and lazy sound in the courtyard.

"wake up!"

The talented singer Orpheus, the son of Apollo, played the harp with his fingers like a storm, and used high-pitched and sharp music to warn his companions.

The Argonauts suddenly woke up, stopped and looked around, breaking into a cold sweat.

I saw the fluorescent plant spreading from the dead tree slowly opening its front end, revealing its predatory organ covered with ring-shaped serrations.

The seven kingfishers standing on the branches spread their wings, and their petite bodies suddenly transformed into tall women with bird wings on their backs. A pair of claws shaped like iron hooks pierced the faces of the heroes.

"Fuck you uncle!"

Seeing a pair of claws thrust into her eyes, Katniss was so frightened and angry that she immediately picked up the spear in her hand and stabbed a bird-winged girl on the tree.

"Chirp!"

The injured bird-winged girl suddenly went crazy, screamed, fluttered her wings and retreated, pulling her body away from Katniss's gun point, and at the same time fired several iron feathers forward.

Katniss quickly turned her spear around and almost used all her strength to push away these fast and fierce iron feathers.

"What the hell?!"

Clenching her slightly trembling hands, this female warrior from Thessaly, who was famous for her bravery, looked at the seven bird-winged girls on the tree in horror.

"The seven kingfisher goddesses - Alcyonedes. It is said that they are the seven daughters of Alcyonius, the king of the djinn. They are named after their beautiful singing voices. But since Cronus devoured the king of djinn After the consciousness of Alcyonius was refined into his own soul container, the seven daughters of Alcyonius, the King of Djinns, disappeared because they mourned their father. They did not expect to turn into such ghosts. Look!”

Orpheus, the son of Apollo, stepped forward to answer. Looking at the seven kingfisher goddesses on the tree whose sanity had obviously been eroded and who were extremely ferocious, his face showed deep regret and pity, and at the same time he cursed Cronus in his heart.

After all, the only one who could transform the seven daughters of Alcyoneus, the King of Djinns, into such ghostly forms was probably the cold-blooded and ruthless Titan King.

"Then what's going on?"

The Argonauts drew their swords and raised their guns, struggling to slash at the fluorescent tentacles that were sweeping around them like a swarm of snakes, and asked anxiously.

These things that spread out from around the dead tree were like a combination of animals and plants. Not only were they extremely tough when cut down, but red-black sap that looked like blood would flow out from the fractures, making strange squeaking sounds. Distraught.

What makes the heroes even more troublesome is that the vitality of these things is actually stronger than that of ordinary giant spirits, and the speed of their destruction cannot even keep up with the speed of the regeneration of these things.

The medical god on the side sniffed and vaguely smelled a familiar smell from the pools of red and black juice on the ground, and his face changed slightly.

"Is this... a golden apple tree?"

When the genie clan invaded the Holy Garden, they not only ate all the golden apples, but also sacrificed the golden apple tree with the power of the earth to the god King Cronus.

The dead tree with tenacious vitality in front of me seems to be the original form of the golden apple tree.

However, due to the contamination of divinity, this thing has become demonic, trying to prey on all living creatures that are close to it, nourishing itself with the flesh and blood of outsiders.

"Don't go there!"

Realizing the origin of this thing, the God of Medicine quickly stopped several Argonauts who wanted to rush forward and cut down the dead tree.

However, it was too late.

Roots like snakes and pythons broke out of the ground, and rocks shattered wherever they passed, and dense shade green plants spread and grew wildly.

"Puff!"

Then, green vines like tentacles tightly bound the legs of several Argonauts, and the glowing roots had already inserted into their thighs, sucking their vitality like hungry giant snakes.

In just a blink of an eye, the skin of several Argonauts who were hit shrank and turned into skeletons.

Green fluorescent vines emerged from their eye sockets and grew wantonly. The weird scene made the Argonauts shudder.

"Retreat! Retreat!"

Chiron shouted a warning while shooting arrows that restrained immortality, cutting off the vines growing from the magic golden apple on the ground.

The Argonauts also worked together to stop the seven kingfisher goddesses who were flapping their wings and rushed up, and retreated from this dangerous place while fighting.

However, when the rain comes, it pours.

Boom!

Rocks flew everywhere, and in the dense smoke and dust, thousands of monsters and giants jumped out from a light ripple that opened behind them and rushed straight towards them.

Medea saw this and quickly threw out the Fang of the Piton and several magic crystals, summoned a row of dragon tooth soldiers and magic puppets, and briefly resisted these swarming monsters and giants to buy time for her companions.

However, facing the situation of wolves in front and tigers behind, these delays were just a drop in the bucket.

The space for everyone's activities was soon compressed to the extreme, and they could only watch these underground monsters rushing in like a tide.

Just as the Argonauts, who were on the verge of despair, were ready to give it a try, a torch burning with golden flames flew from a rock wall and hit the demonized golden apple tree.

Suddenly, the demonized sacred tree twisted wildly, making strange sounds like rats, and the fluorescent vines drilled into the ground one after another.

"This way, come here!"

A deep voice came from a cave somewhere, and a middle-aged man in a black robe was waving at them.
