The Styx is the mysterious river leading to the world of the dead.
In the whole of Feinan, there are not many Styx rivers, and most of the Styx rivers appear in the most remote places in Feinan.
According to official sources, the River Styx is the main way for the Archon of Hades to transport the souls of ordinary people to the world of the dead.
Each of the Styx rivers has a very wide basin, but the concept of this basin does not refer to a single plane—it flows through many planes of the multiverse from top to bottom.
Its destination is the mysterious and cold world of the dead.
Marvin knew that the River Styx here was just a tributary.
Along the river Styx, there is a white pier, on which there are many [Candlelight Boats].
Under the inspiration of the consul of the underworld, the souls of ordinary people will smoothly arrive at a certain place for rendezvous, and then they will be escorted to the pier and sent to the candle boat one by one.
Every candle-flame boat floating on the Styx symbolizes a lost soul.
Styx is the most dangerous place in this world.
Logically speaking, even if Marvin had to bite the bullet and face the arrangement of the Snake Witch, he shouldn't get close to such a dangerous area.
However, today's Styx Wharf has a little problem!
…
On the gentle mossy slope, Marvin quickly jumped off the rock lizard's back.
He gently stroked the back of the rock lizard, conveying his meaning.
For the rest of the journey, he could only rely on his own feet to move forward, and this spiritual mount could no longer carry him forward.
He told the rock lizard not to run around and wait for himself.
Although it has been domesticated, Marvin doesn't know if it will be successful.
But he had already made plans for the rock lizard to run away when he returned to this place.
Then, he walked over alone.
About five minutes passed. Styx is already in sight.
Marvin continued to look towards the east, and a bright lighthouse shone with a dim light.
This radiance attracts all nearby spirits to it. It is convenient for the consul of the underworld to handle affairs.
Marvin restrained his breath, entered a stealth state, and slowly approached the pier.
As Ma Wen expected, there is indeed a very crazy congestion situation at the Styx Wharf today!
After being promoted to Lord of the Night, Marvin's body has undergone a transformation, and his eyes can already see souls that ordinary naked eyes cannot see.
He stood on a hillside and looked down, but he saw all kinds of souls bustling around, almost blocking the entire wharf of the River Styx!
On the River Styx, rows of candle-lit boats floated downstream in a somewhat congested manner.
See this scene. On the one hand, Marvin was glad that he had guessed right; on the other hand, he felt a little sad in his heart.
The reason why this happens is naturally because of this terrible catastrophe!
One-third of Feinan's population died in just two weeks!
A large number of souls are homeless, and the consul of the underworld is probably going to be busy breaking their heads!
Although this is very good news for the monarchs of the world of the dead; before the catastrophe, they should have made preparations in advance. But when the catastrophe came, they still did not expect that the number of dead people would reach such a terrifying number!
The pier of the Styx River is completely blocked!
A large number of undead are waiting to be dealt with by the consul of the underworld, and the already understaffed world of the dead is very busy!
In this way, Marvin was given a chance!
A chance to sneak across the River Styx!
…
On the other side of the Styx River, there is an open mountainous area. There is a tribe of spidermen entrenched.
Just go through the spider tribe. You can bypass the rotten mushroom swamp and arrive at the final destination of Marvin's trip - Devil City.
The question now is how to cross the river.
Because there is a strategy. Ma Wen is also handy in handling things.
The candle boat is a very special substance, it is the only thing that can float on the river Styx.
The water of the Styx River, whether it is a living person or a soul, will be directly swallowed once it falls.
Even gods would be severely injured if they were contaminated with a little water from the Styx River.
Of course Marvin didn't dare to put himself in danger.
He secretly found an area where candle boats were more densely populated, because the attention of the consul of the underworld was attracted by ghosts, he easily calculated a safe route!
A thin red line appeared before his eyes.
In the next second, Marvin didn't stay any longer, he stepped on the bank, and he jumped up high!
His figure was like a rabbit rising and falling, landing on a candle-lit boat with incomparable lightness!
An old man with a blank expression sat on the candle-lit boat, and he couldn't see Marvin at all!
"It's not a big problem!"
Ma Wen was overjoyed and moved on.
According to the previously calculated route, he was jumping on candlelight boats one after another. The underworld consul on the pier didn't even notice that there was a human being who could cross the river Styx with this opportunistic method!
After all, it is extremely rare for so many candle boats to appear on the Styx River.
It just happened to be bumped into by Marvin, and Marvin was lucky.
Five minutes later, he jumped onto the last candlelight boat.
This place is less than twenty meters away from the other side of the Styx River.
This distance, relying on Marvin's strong physical fitness, is completely easy.
It's just that the moment he landed on the boat of candlelight, he suddenly felt a pair of eyes staring at him!
That's a boy!
Unlike the indifferent eyes of the rest of the undead on the Candlelight Boat, this boy can actually see himself!
There was also a look of surprise on his face.
It's just that Ma Wen's face became even more astonished!
Because he saw a familiar face and a pair of familiar pupils!
Crimson eyes, gritty face.
It's a Harmon! Same family as Isabel.
What's more terrible is that this boy is exactly the Harmon tribe that Marvin fought side by side in his previous life!
Although at the beginning, Marvin only regarded him as an important task figure; but later, Marvin already had a good impression of this boy named Jay!
Ma Wen was shocked by the other party's tenacity and attitude of looking at death as home.
"How did Jay die?"
"Did he accidentally die in the catastrophe because of my butterfly effect?"
Marvin was distraught.
Jay also seemed to see Marvin's astonishment. He looked at Marvin and suddenly said something surprising:
"I don't want to go to that world."
"When I was young, I heard my grandma say that it was the coldest place in the world. I didn't want to leave."
"Can you help me, sir."
Marvin hesitated for a moment, knowing that there should be no further delay.
The candle boat is constantly floating downstream. Any later, maybe I will be taken away!
At that moment, he gritted his teeth and took out the Book of Naaru!
If it had been someone else, he might have let it go.
But Jay is different. This little boy has already got Marvin's approval from the bottom of his heart.
He also didn't want this Harmon genius to accidentally become a numb undead just because of his appearance!
No matter what, let's take him away from the candle boat first!
