Shall we go to open up the wasteland together tomorrow?

Sniff.

"What a nice smell."

A refreshing fragrance in the cold darkness makes people feel refreshed.

"This smell... so familiar..."

"It's... Songxia flower!"

Ethan was extremely surprised. Why is there the fragrance of Songxia flower here?

The fragrance of Songxia flower is not as warm as its appearance, but it is fresh and timeless, and the fragrance lasts forever.

The smell is not competitive, but it seems to have already filled my heart.

Every time I smell it, it feels like my soul has been washed.

Only the Songxia Palace in the entire federation has this kind of flower.

Is there any connection between Songxia flower and hell?

"Hiss~"

There is movement.

Ethan frowned.

There are not many records about hell in Professor Taylor's collection, but one of them is about the Styx.

'Hell is separated by the Styx, and there are boats on the river, which can ferry the dead souls. '

Through the mist on the Styx, you can vaguely see a small boat slowly approaching here.

The giant oars clearly cleared the water, but they seemed to be able to blend into the darkness, and the water surface was calm.

"Quack, quack~"

At this time, a raven landed on the boat with a ghost in its mouth.

"Haha, here we go again, a new soul."

A hand reached into the soul in the darkness and grabbed a ray of light.

Then the sound of chewing was remembered.

But the poor soul became much dimmer.

"Well, it tastes good, get on the boat."

The dim soul was thrown into the corner of the boat like a piece of garbage, and there was no movement.

It was not until this time that Ethan saw the boatman on the boat clearly.

He was naked, a little hunched, with eyes like fish eyes, open round, and pointed ears, but not as elegant as elf ears, but rather very ferocious. He held a huge wood that was extremely mismatched with his body in his hand, stirring the water of the Styx.

"Flutter~"

At this time, a raven flew over from the boat.

It hovered back and forth above Ethan's head.

It was the raven that wanted to pick him up before.

It seemed that he was still unwilling to give up.

"Huh~"

The sound of the boat breaking the water stopped.

It landed on the shore.

The shadow on the boat looked at Bryant and Ethan.

"Hiss~"

"It's you again, the damn snake."

"I let you escape last time, but you dare to come back!"

The voice was hoarse, with a strong breath of death, without a trace of life, like a walking corpse.

It was Dudin language.

Ethan happened to be proficient in it.

"Hiss~"

It turned out that he was the ferryman of the underworld - Charon.

The last time Bryant came in, he encountered Charon.

Charon was greedy by nature, and if you wanted to cross the Styx, you had to pay him a satisfactory reward.

But Bryant had nothing at that time, and Charon refused to take him across the river.

Bryant was angry, bit it, and then left in a hurry.

It was a narrow road for enemies to meet at this time.

"Hiss~"

Compared with the last time, Bryant was much stronger.

Not only did he drink the ‘Spring of Enlightenment’ and master the ‘Shadow Flow’ technique.

And he also learned new abilities from the unknown crystal ball.

“Hey, there’s another living person?!”

“How long have you not seen a living person?”

“Five hundred years? Or a thousand years?”

“Too long, too long.”

The boatman looked at Ethan with his eyes up and down.

“No wonder he can endure the deathly aura of hell. It turns out that he has a golden branch from the garden of the Queen of Hell.”

The golden branch from the garden of the Queen of Hell?

Following the boatman’s gaze, Ethan looked at the badge on his chest.

There happened to be a golden branch on the ‘Evergreen Red Sun’ badge. He originally thought it was a section of processed ivy, but it seems not to be the case.

However, what is worrying is that the energy stored in the badge is limited, and the color of the air mask is not as bright as when he first came in.

If it goes on like this, it can only last for another hour or so.

"What is that? Oh, it's the flash of treasure."

"My precious~"

"I can actually see it again, my precious."

For the first time, Charon's eyes narrowed, emitting a faint and terrifying light.

Ethan looked at his greedy appearance, and there was a trace of fear in his heart.

"Thief~"

"It's you, you thief!"

Charon raised the huge oar in his hand and hit Ethan.

Ethan frowned. This monster was so unreasonable. He slandered people's innocence right away.

He dodged the giant tree and shot out the thought thread directly.

"You still slander me as a thief? I think you are a robber."

He just saw Charon grab something from the soul.

"Robber? My uncle Charon?"

"Hahaha, this is a joke!"

"Quack, quack, joke, joke."

As if to cooperate with him, the raven in the sky actually grew a human face and laughed strangely.

"I am the kindest man in hell. There is no one kinder than Master Charon."

"I rowed the boat to take them across the Styx so that they can re-enter reincarnation."

"It is natural to charge some fees."

"If I don't take them across, they will only be corroded by the death energy here, turned into death energy, and sink into the Styx."

"How kind I am, Master Charon."

"Kind, kind."

The raven in the sky echoed.

The voice was strange and shrill.

"But you are a complete thief!"

"That blue ring, that's mine! It's mine!"

"my precious~"

Blue ring?

Ethan was slightly surprised and looked at his right hand.

"Can you see it?"

He could actually see the hidden 'Ten Commandments Ring'.

He removed the ring's veil, and a stunning blue light lit up on Ethan's hand.

"my precious~"

"my precious~"

Charon stared at the Ten Commandments Ring greedily, muttering to himself.

"Charon recognizes this ring."

"It belongs to Charon, the reward for crossing the river."

"Charon deserves it."

"That living person said that as long as he can ferry the boat, the exchange is mine!"

"Charon doesn't like to carry living people across the river, but that ring is so beautiful."

"Charon wants it!"

"It's so heavy, so heavy, living people are really heavy, my boat almost fell apart!"

"It's so heavy, but Charon likes that ring."

"I want that ring."

"Charon is so tired, but he finally succeeded. I took a living person across the Styx."

"He asked Charon to take off the ring, but... Charon couldn't take it off."

"Woo woo woo~"

"Charon couldn't take it off, Charon was so tired, Charon fell asleep."

"My ring, my treasure."

"my precious~"

Charon looked at the intoxicating blue light on Ethan's hand and said a lot of words like a dream.

Ethan listened attentively, and he already had a guess in his heart.

It should be the previous owner of this Ten Commandments Ring, most likely Emperor Gosha.

He probably came to hell before.

He used this ring as bait to trick Charon into rowing a boat to take him across the river.

After arriving at the place, let Charon take the ring.

But once the contract of the Ten Commandments Ring is signed, it cannot be taken off.

So Charon did not get the ring, and finally fell asleep from exhaustion.

Thinking of the fragrance of Gosha flowers wafting from the other side, Ethan further confirmed this guess.
