I seriously doubt there is something wrong with my Chaldea

Atalanta glanced at Lixiang beside him, but Lixiang still didn't mention the girl who was inseparable from him in the past. After a moment of silence, she also knew what Lixiang meant.

"Ho..."

She let out a breath, she didn't have any need to intervene in the matter between the two of them, or in other words, there was no room for her to intervene at all.

"........."

In a simple room in that village, the pink-haired girl still closed her eyes, sleeping in a beautiful dreamland.

The speed of the heroes is very fast, which is enough for ordinary people to walk up the ridge for most of the day and only need to pass through it in a straight line, and then go all the way down the mountain, passing through the continuous wet jungle, and turning over the disturbing things in the jungle. Angry vines.

This time, because he had lived in the village over there for two days, Lixiang could clearly feel that after turning over the hillside on that side, the surrounding climate became sultry and humid.

"Ho..."

Li Xiang exhaled a foul breath, and saw that the trees in front of him had changed from deciduous forests to lush tropical trees with well-developed roots, vines and bushes were entangled, even if they were all heroes with inhuman power , It is inevitable to be hindered by such a difficult road.

The four of them were silent, they just quickened their pace. After walking through the sweltering woods for a few minutes, they didn't seem to have reached the end of the woods.

"Are the trees here so big?"

Lixiang was a little surprised. The Lena Lake he saw from the hillside was huge when he came from there before, and the extension of this ridge was very short. Logically speaking, they should have walked through the woods for a few minutes and saw The lake is right.

"...I'll go up and have a look."

After Lixiang's reminder, Atalanta, who had vaguely sensed that something was wrong, immediately jumped up to the crown of the tree, leaped up like a bird, and took a look at the scenery in front of him.

"How's it going?"

"There is still about five stadia's dense forest ahead, and you can see the surface of Lake Lena, and there are many trees growing on the surface of the lake."

Atalanta's voice came from the canopy above her head, and then she jumped and fell directly to the ground.

"It's a swamp..."

Atalanta's words made Hercules think of this possibility. The area of ​​Lake Lena is so large that it is not impossible to have a swamp with a certain area.

And it is said that Hydera lives in a swamp full of poisonous miasma, that is to say...

"Come here, everyone, I will engrave something for you."

Li Xiang frowned, he had already felt the innumerable and unknown strange breath, although now he still didn't feel the fleeting stench that he smelled before, but he could no longer hold on like this, he Quickly walking in front of Atalanta, she stretched out her hand naturally, and the young man immediately engraved the original rune on the back of her hand that could resist the poison.

Chapter 56: When a famous hero becomes his senior

"What is this? Can you still do magic?"

Xu Las, with short white curly hair, looked at the shimmering ancient characters engraved by Lixiang on the back of Atalanta's hand, and couldn't help asking curiously.

"It's just a little bit of trivial stuff."

Lixiang lowered his head and said, the power of this rune can prevent the protected person from being cursed by others, and will not be controlled by outsiders, and it can also be immune to severe poison... Although it is said in effect, but he Not many times, the last time I used it was to protect them from the so-called plague in the Plague Village, but this time it was directly used to deal with Hydra's poison...

This made him somewhat uncertain, but something is better than nothing, even if it can't completely block the poison, it can definitely play a role.

"………yes."

Regarding Lixiang's unconsciously modest words, Atalanta was silent for a moment and then nodded, as long as it can be useful-this is her attitude as a hunter.

"Shuras and Hercules should also engrave this. Although there is no way to guarantee that it can block the poisonous attack [-]%, I believe it can still be useful."

Li Xiang glanced at Xu Las, and then said.

"........."

But Xulas took a small half step back slowly and shrank behind Hercules. She didn't trust the young man in front of her so much.

"...cough, sorry, Hylas is not very good at getting along with others, you should engrave this rune for me first."

Lixiang nodded, and then carved the runes on the back of Hercules' hand to resist poison and curse.

When observing closely, Li Xiang could see clearly that this man's skin showed a dark copper-colored skin that had been exposed for a long time. His arm was like a wood carving hewn from a tree root. It was thick and full of powerful beauty. His big hands It was a circle bigger than my own hand, and each finger was like a copper pipe.

He didn't say anything, just engraved the ancient text on Hercules' arm.

"Hmm... Strange magic, I've never seen such a technique before... I can't believe that you are a magician, Theasius."

"...No, how could..."

Li Xiang waved his hand, smiled and shook his head, "I've said it all, I just know a little bit about it, this is something taught to me by a magician I knew before, if you want to say something powerful, It should be that person."

"You are really humble."

Hercules nodded, and said to Lixiang, there was a little surprise in those eyes.

"It belongs to Shuras."

Lixiang outlined the outline of a circle of ancient characters in the air, and then showed the shape of the original rune, and the rune rune appeared in midair.

He waved his hand lightly, and the rune flew to the back of Shuras's hand as if he had come alive.

"………Humph."

There was a trace of surprise and surprise in Xulas' eyes, but she didn't say much, and she didn't reject the rune that flew to the back of her hand too much.

"Then, let's go quickly, we must speed up."

Li Xiang said to the three, and then continued to walk towards the last edge of the forest.

The temperature slowly dropped, but the air was still humid. Lixiang stepped here slowly, and not only the sound of fallen leaves being crushed, but also the uncomfortable sound of water came from under his feet.

"It's really a swamp."

Li Xiang frowned slightly and whispered, but the speed of walking forward did not decrease in any way.

The non-existent road under their feet became muddy. When they stepped on the fallen leaves, they left footprints on the spot and slowly accumulated a little bit of water. This situation accompanied their steps, and the fallen leaves Gradually disappeared, the dense bushes and vines disappeared, replaced by knee-high swamp water, and soft mud under the feet.

Their bodies sank slightly, and while their legs were twitching in the water, Lixiang and Hercules quickly muddied the impure water, and at the same time, a smell of mud floated to the surface, making people unbearable. live gagging.

"Well……!"

Lixiang frowned, and couldn't help covering her nose. Compared with the mud in other rivers, the smell here was stronger, and at the same time, it was accompanied by a faint strange smell mixed in it.

It's like the strange smell of wood and spices rotting together. Although it's a stinky smell, it's not pungent, nor is it that strong, as if there are still residues of the original spices in it.

"Did you smell anything?"

Li Xiang frowned and asked.

"It smells, like the smell of some fine spice after it's been out for a long time."

Hercules, who walked through the swamp with Lixiang, undoubtedly felt it most directly. He raised the tip of his nose and said with a frown.

"and many more……"

Atalanta, who was walking through the canopy with Shylas, caught a glimpse of the slightly shimmering luster on the back of Hercules' hand on the water, and she couldn't help but also lowered her head to look at the back of her own hand.

The runes shone with soft light, as if they had some reaction.

"I said...do you two feel any discomfort like dizziness?"

she asked.

"...No, no."

Lixiang and Hercules looked at each other, then said.

"...Your rune is reacting, if it is not a problem with the rune, it means that we are already in a poisonous miasma"

Atalanta said lightly, although her words were calm, her eyes kept scanning the surrounding water surface, wanting to see if there was anything unusual around her.

But the surrounding swamp water was calm as usual, only the ripples that Lixiang and Hercules inevitably shook when they walked through the swamp made ripples one by one.

"...Be careful everyone, it seems that we have already broken into His territory."

Hercules was unmoved, but he still couldn't help frowning when his eyes swept over the flickering runes on the back of his hand, and said to the others.

"Um……"

Lixiang nodded silently, and then followed Hercules in front, and Hylas and Atalanta on the canopy walked among the high branches together.

"..."

But when Lixiang and his group continued to move forward not far away, the knee-deep water surface had slight normal ripples and undulations in the originally turbid swamp water.

After about ten minutes, they crossed the short distance of five testias. Originally, this distance should be a distance that they could easily cross casually, but because they were deeply trapped in the swamp , all their actions had to become slow and strenuous.

Not to mention Hylas and Atalanta have been walking between the treetops, but Hercules and Lixiang, whose legs have been stirring in the somewhat cold swamp water, still can't help but slow down their speed.

The poisonous miasma around him also became more and more terrifying, and the stench of rotting spices became stronger until it overwhelmed the original muddy stench around it, and even the sight in front of him seemed to be a little distorted and blurred.

The heroes who obviously felt these changes were more sure that if they wanted to kill Hydera, they had to fight quickly. They quickened their pace, and finally they were about to pass through this annoying swamp forest in the last step, between the thick layers of trees, A huge "nest" that looked like a tangle of rotting trees and growing branches appeared in front of them.

here is……

Lixiang's eyes widened when he saw the huge cage-like thing.

"Is this Hydra's...'lair'?"

He took a deep breath, and then couldn't help asking softly.

This is the first time that only he and Matthew are facing the famous and dangerous monster in mythology, and it is also the legendary extremely poisonous Hydra. If he said that he was not nervous, even he would not believe it. .

But this nervousness quickly turned into the calmness of hunting in the past. His hand slowly touched the dark red bow hanging on his body, while the other hand revealed a little bit of firefly-like light. The faint light is somewhat conspicuous in the dim woods.

Hercules glanced at the young man beside him. The young man in front of him looked like a seasoned warrior, and he saw the shadow of a certain god from the young man's figure ready to go.

"Little Junior Brother."

Hercules suddenly called him with a new name.

"Ah...? Eh?"

Li Xiang was taken aback for a moment, and couldn't help but look back at the great hero beside him.

"...It seems to be true."

Hercules read the accident in Lixiang's eyes and the momentary trance and puzzlement, and smiled involuntarily on his face, which was much more cordial than the smile just now.

"As expected... Are you really Teacher Chiron's new student? Hmm... You are Pi Liwen who came here after I left, but you have already practiced here. It seems that I have an excellent junior brother."

From the simplest behavior just now, he could tell at a glance that the other party was his junior brother. Hercules said to him with a smile, completely in the tone of a senior and an elder, Li Xiang was a little taken aback.

"Cough...Actually, I have my own reasons for leaving Pi Liwen so early...I'm actually a half-way student...I haven't learned a lot of things from the teacher..."

The big hero in front of him became his predecessor because of the sudden change of angle. When he was asked about the teacher again, he couldn't help but feel a little at a loss.

"But Teacher Chiron released you, which means that you are already capable of dealing with most of the difficulties you need to face."

Hercules smiled, then suddenly turned to Lixiang's right, and said, "Okay, let's talk about the teacher after we solve this scourge first!"

Chapter 57: Two Songs Are Born From One Song

"Brother?"

Lixiang called Hercules. For him, it was more convenient and kinder to call this great hero by his first name than to call him brother.

But he didn't feel anything unusual, and when his pupil of the star sea engraved with ancient runes swept across the calm water, there was no strange reaction, and the surroundings were still as calm as ever.

"It's just my gut feeling."

Hercules didn't explain the reason to him in detail, he narrowed his eyes and pulled out his stick.

"boom!"
