The world-devouring dragon

When the hero left Athens, he also planned to visit Atalanta, who killed the Calydonian boar. The hero thought Atalanta was very powerful and wanted to compete with her in archery.

But when he was about to leave, he heard that after Atalanta killed the Calydonian boar, the female hunter who swore to remain virgin for life attracted many admirers. The female hunter who never tired of betting with her opponents, whoever could beat her in the race could marry her, and whoever lost would be killed by her.

The female hunter hoped that this method could scare off the suitors. Many people were killed by her mercilessly because of their defeat. In the end, one of the suitors relied on the magic of the golden apple to hinder her race. The female hunter who was attracted by the golden apple saw the golden apple while running, and she couldn't help but want to pick it up, so she fell behind.

Later, it was said that the couple committed blasphemy because they couldn't help themselves in the temple of Cybele, the goddess of nature. As a result, they were punished by the angry goddess of nature and turned into a pair of lions, and they have been missing since then.

This is how it was in the era when gods existed. Gods may not always pay attention to your behavior, but once you angered them, the end would be tragic.

The regretful hero had no choice but to go directly to Eurystheus to complete his fifth task.

"Oh, Hercules, great demigod, your next task is..."

The smiling king's eyes were full of horror.

As Hercules' uncle, he thought that each of the tasks he assigned to the hero would lead to death, but he completed them one by one.

Look, the lion that fell from the moon, the immortal hydra, the prey of the hunting goddess... Each one is a challenge that mortals cannot reach and heroes are afraid of, but they were completed one by one by the man in front of him.

Back then, he casually said that as long as the hero completed his ten tasks, he would be willing to give up the throne, and the hero really agreed for some reason. But now, four of the ten tasks have been completed, and there are still six tasks...

Calm down, I still have six chances, not to mention that these four tasks have consumed his time for almost ten years, and the remaining six tasks can also be completed...

Looking at the extremely powerful man in front of him, the king smiled, trying to comfort himself, and maliciously fantasized about using time to kill him.

"Your next task is very simple, that is... clean my cowshed and clean up the cow dung in one day."

The king smiled, but the words made the servants and nobles around him laugh.

This is not actually a task, although Eurystheus has a lot of property and the cowshed is large, it is not easy to clean, and one day is indeed too short. But the real problem with this task is that it is a humiliation for the great hero. No hero would bow his head to clean up the cow dung.

Yes, this is a humiliation.

Eurystheus just wants people to know that this powerful hero was forced to bend down and clean up the cow dung under his orders, and finally stunk all over, like a slave.

Is such a person worthy of taking my throne?

The king was smiling, but the mission was full of malice.

The hero saw the malice, and his brows were slightly furrowed, but the long-term adventure softened the rage in his bones. He stared at the king deeply, agreed, and turned away.

When the hero left, he just went to the cowshed to take a look.

It was indeed a big cowshed, with thousands of cows in it, and the cow dung had not been cleaned for years, making it difficult to remove. Even if a hundred people spent a month, they might not be able to clean it up, let alone one person in a day.

The attendant on the side was still trying to hold back his smile, and bowed his head to the hero and said: "My lord, do you need me to prepare cleaning tools for you?"

It was really bizarre that a distinguished demigod cleaned the cow dung in the cowshed himself.

The hero snorted, turned around and took a shovel, but he didn't go to shovel the cow dung, but dug a long ditch next to the cowshed.

No one understood what he wanted to do, because the hero dug the ditch all the way to the river, and then began to call beside the river.

"River God, show up, the son of Zeus is calling you here."

After calling three times in a row, a half-dragon, half-human creature emerged from the river, that is, the river god of this big river.

"Demigod, what do you want?"

"I ask you to do me a favor and pour the river water into this ditch to clean up a cowshed not far away."

The river god was angry at the request of the demigod.

"Demigod, I am not the cleaning slave, you go find someone else to help..."

Before the words fell, before the river god could react, the hero flew over and captured it.

The river god tried to wrestle with the hero, and the river rolled out a whirlpool. The huge whirlpool tried to drag the hero down, but the hero's arms were like cast iron and stone, and he couldn't break free no matter what.

Finally, the river god was exhausted and had to beg.

"Okay, demigod, I promise to help you, please let go of your hand."

When the demigod hero let go of his hand, the river god let the mighty river water flow into the ditch, directly washing and cleaning the entire cowshed.

Then, the river god immediately dived into the river and was never seen again. Probably for many years, the river god refused to show up again.

In this way, the great hero did not tarnish his glory and completed this humiliating task in a smart way.

The stunned king could not accept this reality. He racked his brains to find faults, and finally refused to acknowledge the mission on the grounds that the great hero asked others for help.

"It doesn't matter if you don't acknowledge it. Then you can assign a new task."

The demigod snorted and said proudly.

The king's forehead was full of sweat, and he was frantically thinking about what new task he should arrange for the demigod next.

Let alone what the fifth task that Eurystheus finally arranged for the great hero was. At this moment, on a plain somewhere in the world, three people were struggling.

"White fog! Are you sure that the centaur is here?"

The reincarnation named Lao Jiu shouted loudly in the gusts of wind.

In the four-man team, the dead Tan Lang was good at martial arts. Fighting, infiltration, and reconnaissance were all his specialties. Swordsmen are used to killing enemies, and killing thousands of troops is no problem. Lao Jiu is the leader of the team, and the team action is mainly planned by him.

Bai Wu is the only female among the four. She looks weak, but anyone who underestimates her will suffer a great loss. She is proficient in many spells. She has learned various spells in Dungeons \u0026 Dragons, Lord of the Rings, and even Type-Moon. Prophecy spells are also her area of ​​expertise.

According to Lao Jiu and Bai Wu, the cause of death of characters in the plot world will always be related to the original text. The closer it is, the easier it is to succeed.

For example, Godzilla's natural enemy is King Ghidorah, Superman's opponent is Batman, and so on.

Hercules' final ending is to die from the venom of the Hydra, so in theory, using the venom of the Hydra is the best. But unfortunately, I don't know if it's a coincidence, when they entered this world, it was just when Hercules killed the Hydra.

The venom of the Hydra is now only on Hercules, and there is no more anywhere else.

Although they also thought about stealing, after squatting for half a year, the few people finally confirmed that there was no hope. Stealing things from Hercules is not much different from defeating Hercules.

If stealing fails, then we can only find another way.

So Bai Lu suggested to find the centaur who indirectly caused Hercules' death.

In the original myth, Hercules' wife Deianira wanted to cross the river, but she couldn't swim, so a centaur who made a living by helping people cross the river proposed to carry Deianira on his back.

As a result, halfway through, the centaur saw Iannira's beauty and became lustful, so he wanted to abduct her. Deianira shouted for help, and Hercules saw her on the shore and immediately shot the centaur to death with an arrow.

However, before the centaur died, he told Deianira that the blood from the wound shot by the arrow was a magic potion that could save love, and asked Deianira to accept it. Deianira believed it and secretly kept it in a bottle.

When Hercules captured Iole later, Deianira regarded this beautiful woman as a love rival. This poor woman tried to use the "love potion" left by the centaur to save her marriage, but it eventually led to the death of Hercules.

Bai Wu is proficient in magic. She believes that this centaur is the real murderer who killed Hercules in the sense of mysticism. Compared with the venom of the Hydra, perhaps finding the centaur is more likely to find a way to kill Hercules.

So under the guidance of Bai Wu's magic, the three spent nearly a year on the road and search, and finally determined the approximate range.

"That's right, the centaur should be nearby, we just need to find the river."

Bai Wu believed in her magic and insisted.

She looked at the surrounding environment, and her pupils were still golden.

This is a kind of eye technique she learned when trading with other reincarnations. It originated from the world of Naruto and can greatly increase the field of vision. Later, after being compatible with the magic eyes of the Type-Moon world, it has many wonderful uses.

Under the gaze of the golden pupil, she finally found the trail.

"Quick! I see it, right there."

Bai Wu shouted to his companions happily, and the three of them quickly went in the direction Bai Wu pointed.

There was indeed a river not far away, the river was winding and difficult to cross, and it was also full of strange rocks, so it was impossible to sail. Beside the river, there was a centaur strolling leisurely there.
