To be king [Greek mythology]

.

As for why Thurpus' face was so pale and he kept clutching his abdomen, Minos thought of it almost immediately.

These two people were really not what they thought, they were sent by the lord of the city-state, but his two brothers.

Minos panicked when he saw Thurps' reaction.

The other party would rather just hang there and die than believe that he will catch his rhythm.

"Thurps, I..." Minos was at a loss, not knowing what to say, "I'm sorry, I kept something from you, I didn't expect it to turn out like this..."

Thurps frowned impatiently.

"Can you let go, I will catch you, you are hurt, Surpus." Minos looked at Surpus anxiously, with a trembling tone, "Can you come down? Let me see Let's see where you are hurt, okay?"

Thurps remained unmoved, but his arm was a little weak because he clung to the tree trunk too hard to endure the pain.

The nearly broken branch was supported by a branch below, and there was no possibility of throwing Surpus to death.

If Thurpus is to go down, either Minos will come up, or Surpus will let go.

"Thurps..." Minos looked at the olive tree beside him, becoming more anxious.

He can't climb trees.

"Come down, Surpus, I won't hide anything from you anymore, okay?" Minos felt that Surpus seemed to be breathing shallowly, and his whole body was frightened.

There was timidity and crying in the child's tone of voice, "I was really wrong, don't be angry, don't die, come down, Thurps."

Thurps finally moved. He turned around and almost lost the strength to open his eyes.

Minos hurriedly wiped the moisture from his eyes, and stretched out his hands, "I will catch you, Thurpus, let go, trust me? I will never hide you again, I swear, I mean Swear by the River Styx."

Thurps was in a state of chaos, his consciousness was already blurred, but he was somewhat aware of Minos' anxiety and kindness.

Then he finally let go of his hand, unable to bear it and passed out.

Thurps is not light, and after Minos caught the person, he felt a moment of hotness in his hand and then a severe pain swept over him.

He almost thought his hand was going to break off.

However, he didn't have time to take care of his hands more. Enduring the pain, he stretched out his twitching and twitching hand to lift Surpus's clothes, and glanced at Surpus's deputy department.

A huge group of red marks floated in Surps's deputy department, and there was a faint tendency to spread.

Minos had seen such wounds before, and all the wounded died without exception.

Thinking of those lifeless corpses, the future judge of Hades stared blankly at Thurps, his mind blank.

For the first time since birth, Minos felt so helpless.

Chapter 9

Minos looked down at Thurps, who was breathing weakly, his hands and feet were cold.

He really didn't expect this to happen.

Whether Radamandes and Sarpedon would really send people to the depths of the forest to kill him, or Thurpus would suffer such serious injuries, he never thought about it.

In Minos' eyes, the world was not so cold, so cold that he didn't even have the most basic kindness and family affection.

He overestimated Thurps' abilities.

No matter how smart Thurps is, even if Thurps can support the two of them on his own, even if Thurps has survived alone in the dangerous forest for two years, but Thurps is only a year older than him. Just a two-year-old kid.

It is impossible for a child to gain the upper hand in a fight with a strong and burly adult with a weapon in his hand.

Being able to kill a person is already a very proud record.

But Minos didn't want to see Surpus have such a proud record - because the price of killing that man was Surpus' life.

Minos had never felt so bewildered by the death of anyone, and the weakness and soreness spreading from his beating heart made Minos lose all strength.

This is probably what my mother felt when she cried in front of the statue of Zeus every day, called sadness.

Thanadus, the god of death, followed the breath of death. The sword in his hand was hanging high, and it was gray and black in the sun, which represented death.

He bent down and lifted up a lock of Thurpus's hair. He only needed to lightly swing the sword to cut off a strand of the dead man's hair, and he could cut off the connection between the living soul and the world, and extradite the dead man's soul into the underworld.

Sensing the breath of death around him, Minos raised his head to wipe off the wetness from his face, and looked blankly and panicked at the void in front of him.

He knew that the god of death, who was feared and hated by people, was by his side and was about to take Thurps' soul away.

The meerkat screamed, stood upright, and took a look with its small paws on Surpus' belly. Then it turned and ran towards Minos, and directly put the clothes Minos was wearing on it. The small animal skin bag sewn on was bitten open, and the animal teeth inside were pulled out.

The tooth was placed on Thurpus' heart.

Thurps's feeble, staccato breathing steadied immediately.

Thanadus glanced at the animal tooth in surprise, let go of Thurpus's lock of black hair, and stepped back to look at Minos carefully.

This is Typhon's tooth, or a rare good tooth.

Since Typhon fell into the abyss, he has never left the void in the depths of Netherland. It is not easy to get Typhon's teeth—even if Typhon has a hundred heads and many teeth, it is not easy .

Thanadus could tell at a glance that Minos had part of Zeus's blood, and Zeus had directly driven Typhon into the abyss, so it was not surprising that he had some spoils belonging to Typhon in his hands.

Thinking about it this way, it is not unacceptable for a demigod with the blood of Zeus to have Typhon's animal teeth. This only proves that Zeus actually attaches great importance to these descendants.

Typhon's teeth can deter all beasts, and Typhon's strength is enough to resist death.

It is quite easy to resist the death of an ordinary human with Typhon's animal teeth.

Thanadus held his sword and glanced at Thurpus who asked Minos to show Typhon's fang, but he really didn't see any tricks on the kid's face.

He was above average in height, but his pale face and the still-dead breath made Thurpus look like a lifeless corpse.

Even the Grim Reaper didn't think carefully about the exciting appearance of a corpse.

The child of Zeus is precocious, Thanadus thought, and he had something to chat with his majesty and his brother again.

Minos felt the retreat of death, and his eyes fell on Thurpus, who was breathing steadily. The ashes of death on Thurpus' face gradually faded, and the red mark on his abdomen also gradually disappeared. Thurpus's pale face showed signs of health. flush.

Minos leaned over fiercely, being careful not to touch the animal tooth, pinched Thurpus' wound around, and found that there was indeed no problem.

Thurps looked much healthier than before.

Minos looked back at the mongoose, who was squatting on Surpus' stomach and staring at him.

Minos felt a little silly staring at a mongoose, so he quickly looked away and looked at the animal tooth.

He never knew that this animal tooth had such a great use.

Minos was pretty sure that the breath he just noticed came from the god in the underworld who sowed death in the world. As a half body with the blood of the king of the gods, although he had no way to directly see the god who hid himself , but they can feel their breath.

The reason why the breath of death receded was because of the appearance of this animal tooth.

Minos glanced at the unrecognizable corpse devoured by the wolves that had long since disappeared due to the arrival of the god of death.

He thought of the fearful look of the wolf that wanted to come over just now, and looked down at the animal tooth, feeling warm in his heart.

This is what Zeus left them. It may not be so precious to Zeus, but for a half-human who has half-human blood, his lifespan is not as good as that of a god, and he is not much better than other humans except for his body and talent. For God, it is quite useful.

I didn't know the usefulness of animal teeth before, but now you see, don't you use them.

This is the first time that Minos really felt the kindness from Zeus.

The meerkat was wary of Minos, fearing that he would take the tooth away.

Minos was sick and didn't think of this. He looked at Surpus and made sure that most of the injuries on the opponent's body had healed. At least the movement would not cause severe pain or aggravate the injury, so he stretched out his hand to Surpus. , wanting to carry people on their backs and leave.

Although he didn't know why Surpus hadn't woken up yet, Minos knew they couldn't stay here for too long.

Looking at the traces here, there must be more than one person here, the traces of the corpse being dragged are still there, a straight line, not at all like the traces that wolves could drag out.

And Thurps is not a very impulsive person, and his actions have always been cautious.

It must be that these three people said something that would threaten their survival if Thurps rushed out.

Minos thought he knew something about Thurpus, and the only thing in this forest where Surpus exploded with a single poke was the cave.

Probably these fighters from Crete discovered something. After all, it is too difficult to find a place more suitable for survival than this cave, and there are all their property and food reserves in the cave, and the traces of life are too heavy. , and after confirming that Minos is not dead and there is someone helping him in the forest, these men will definitely not let it go.

I have to say, Minos
