[Greek Mythology] The Ugly God's Counterattack

"Secret?" Hephaestus sneered, "Rather than hear it from you, it's better to find it yourself."

Helios shrugged regretfully: "That's such a pity..." Before he finished speaking, Hephaestus threw out his long whip and whipped it at him.

Helios yelled as he dodged, "Oh! My dear Hephaestus, how could you just attack like this! Oh! This is so rude!"

Looking at the second-generation sun god jumping up and down, Hephaestus narrowed his eyes dangerously, and revealed the sharp needle tip hidden in the long whip with lightning speed.

Helios turned over nimbly, and the moment his feet landed on the tree trunk, Hephaestus entangled Helios' feet together with the tree trunk.

Both feet were entangled at once, the needle point on the whip directly pierced Helios' skin, and bright red blood dripped down.And because his feet were entangled, he was unstable, his center of gravity leaned forward uncontrollably, and he suddenly hung upside down on the tree trunk, and even a few strands of hair touched the weeds below.

Even so, there was no tension on Helios' face, but he said in a relaxed tone, "I'm entangled."

Seeing the other party's expression so relaxed, Hephaestus frowned slightly, suppressed the doubts in his heart, and covered the surface of the whip with divine power.The high-energy burning flame quickly spread to Helios along the long whip, and just when the flame was about to touch his feet, Helios' figure suddenly disappeared.

Disappeared, in front of him and Hades, suddenly disappeared.

The flames burned the trunk to ashes, but Helios was nowhere to be seen.

Hephaestus frowned even tighter. No wonder Helios looked so relaxed at the time. He was confident that he could escape from him and Hades smoothly?

Then how did he disappear?

"What do you think?" Hephaestus turned his head and asked Hades beside him.

Hades' eyes fell to the front, sharp eyes: "Perhaps the Helios that appeared in front of us is just a shadow, just like the mirage you said."

"If that's the case, why does the needle bleed when it penetrates the skin?" Hephaestus said, raising his hand, turning the direction of the whip, and entangled a weed below.He took back the whip, and picked up the weeds with the other hand to observe. The weeds were still stained with Helios' blood, which had solidified and turned dark red. "This blood carries the aura of the second-generation sun god. It is real blood, so it should not be a phantom."

Hephaestus glanced up at the black mist, then scanned around, thinking of what Helios said about everything here being under his control, his expression was a bit serious: "Helios is definitely hiding around here , through a special method, it looks like he is teleporting. Sure enough, this Bolesia Island is too weird."

Hades said: "Since Helios is injured, we can find his breath through the blood."

Hephaestus nodded: "That's the only way." He handed the weeds stained with Helios' blood to Hades: "I don't have a strong sense of this, come on."

I really like Hephaestus' trust and proper reliance on him. Hades' eyes softened a lot, and his tense face was also tinged with warmth.He took the weed, and the weed quickly turned into a round particle with green on the outside and red on the inside at a speed invisible to the naked eye.

"What is the use of this prototype particle?" Hephaestus asked.

"The closer we get to the blood left by Helios, the more the green on its surface turns red. As long as the entire original particle turns red, it means that Helios is nearby." Ha Diss looked at Hephaestus with some curiosity, and explained softly.

With this prototype particle, let's call it a sensory bead, and finding Helios is not a clueless one.

Hephaestus walked ahead with the induction beads in his hand, and Hades followed him a little distance behind, leaving marks all the way.They said they were walking, but they were actually stepping on the tree trunk, because the weeds below them were getting taller and taller, and some of them had even covered their ankles standing on the tree trunk.

The weeds touched the skin and shook gently, itching and even stinging, which made Hephaestus feel very uncomfortable.He kicked the weeds with some displeasure, and said sullenly, "I really want to burn them with fire."

Amused by Hephaestus's childish action, Hades said: "After we go out, you may try to burn the entire island of Bolesia."

Hephaestus snorted softly and fell silent.

Seeing this, Hades suddenly squatted down in front of him and tore off his black sleeves.

Hephaestus looked down at him: "What do you want?"

Hades didn't answer, just said: "Lift your feet."

Hearing what he said, Hephaestus raised his feet subconsciously.

Hades took advantage of the opportunity to wrap the sleeves around Hephaestus' bare ankles, so as to prevent the small thorns on the weeds from stinging Hephaestus.

"The other one," Hades said again.

"I'm not so delicate," Hephaestus said, but raised his feet in coordination.Although he didn't feel that he needed to do this, Hades' move made him unconsciously want to cooperate with the other party.

"Okay." Hades looked at his sleeves covering Hephaestus' ankles, smiled with satisfaction, and stood up.

Hephaestus felt warm in his heart, and turned his gaze from Hades' face back to the induction beads in his hand.At this time, the green on the surface of the sensing bead turned red obviously more than when Hades just took it out, which shows that they are slowly approaching the location of Helios.

Ahead, the weeds were taller and denser than the weeds beneath where they were standing now.

After roughly checking with his eyes, Hephaestus said, "If we go over now, the grass will probably reach our place." He gestured at the height of his thigh with his hand.

Seeing Hephaestus' movements, Hades suddenly raised the corners of his mouth: "I should be a little lower."

Hephaestus was taken aback for a moment, and then realized that Hades was referring to the fact that he was a little shorter than him, and immediately raised his brows, emphasizing: "You are only a little taller than me, and this little bit can be ignored at all. !" He purposely emphasized it a little bit, and in fact it was only a little bit, but it was this little bit that made Hephaestus a little concerned.

Knowing that he had stepped on the opponent's minefield, Hades put his hand to his mouth, coughed dryly, and quickly changed the subject, but the smile in his eyes couldn't be contained no matter what.He pointed to the front and said, "Let's go there quickly."

The weeds in front had already covered the specific position of the trunk, Hephaestus grasped the sensor beads tightly, and jumped to the next trunk accurately, followed by Hades.

When they jumped over, it turned out that the weeds below reached the left and right sides of their thighs.Looking at the dense weeds below, which seemed to have no depth, Hephaestus frowned imperceptibly: "If I didn't sense the breath of living beings, I really doubt that some monsters would suddenly pop out from below."

He glanced casually, and when he saw a weed, he suddenly stopped.

That is…

Hades followed Hephaestus's gaze and found nothing unusual, "Did you find anything?"

Hephaestus did not answer, but hurriedly looked at the sensing beads, and sure enough, the green on the surface of the sensing beads had all turned red.

"Helios is near here." Hades' words became an affirmative sentence.

Hephaestus nodded, pointed at the place he was looking at just now, and said to Hades with certainty: "That weed is the weed that was stained with Helios' blood and then I tore it off with a whip. .Although the section I tore off has grown back, even taller than before, but it has a small hole pierced by the needle point of my whip."

Hearing what Hephaestus said, Hades' expression also became serious, and he had a guess in his heart, but he was quickly denied by himself: "We can't stay where we are, and the sensor beads are gradually changing color, which means that we moving."

Hephaestus clenched the induction beads: "I also don't think we stayed where we are."

Hades frowned: "Could it be that the grass is moving?"

"It's possible." Hephaestus lowered his head and looked down: "Maybe this seemingly ordinary weed is actually something different." Presumably, in a place like Bellesia Island, these weeds can be found everywhere. It is not normal to grow so tall under the cover of black poisonous gas without seeing the sun.What's more, they can move under his and Hades' eyes without being noticed.

Thinking of the sudden disappearance of Helios, Hephaestus expressed his conjecture: "Helios may be under these weeds." Unexpectedly, as soon as he opened his mouth, Hades said the same thing as him .Looking at each other in a tacit understanding, Hephaestus moved his gaze back down.

"Shall we jump off now?"

"Yeah." Hades replied, looking at the weeds below, he held Hephaestus' hand.

Hephaestus' face darkened. Why did he feel that the situation between himself and Hades was like the scene before the couple were about to die on the cliff.He wanted to take his hand away from Hades, but Hades clenched it tighter and tighter. After a little struggle, he didn't break free.At this time, if he struggled again, it seemed that he was too hypocritical.

After looking at each other, Hephaestus' eyes froze, and he jumped down together with Hades.

The wind driven by the impact made the weeds rustle, and Hephaestus and Hades used their other hands to cover their cheeks to prevent the weeds from scratching their skin.

Hephaestus half-closed his eyes and allowed his body to sink. In fact, his vision was now completely dark.He didn't know how deep the weeds were, let alone when they would reach the bottom of the weeds.It's just that there is a kind of self-consciousness deep in his heart, telling him that if he goes down a little bit, and down a little bit, there will be another scene below, and the bottom of the weeds will be the entrance to another place.

Once there, many secrets will be revealed.

On the other side, at the same moment.

In the woods below the sacred mountain of Olympus, a red-haired man was flying towards the sacred mountain without any haste.
