The Styx was the mysterious river that led to the world of the dead.
There were not many Styx in the whole of Fernand. Most of the Styx appeared in the most remote places in Fernand.
According to official information, the Styx was the main way for the Underworld Archons to transport the souls of ordinary people to the world of the dead.
Every Styx had a wide drainage basin, but the concept of this drainage basin did not refer to a single plane. Instead, it flowed from top to bottom through many planes in the multiverse.
Its destination was the mysterious and cold world of the dead.
Ma Wen knew that the Styx here was just a tributary.
On the shore of the Styx River, there was a white dock. Many [Candle Boats] were floating on the dock.
The souls of ordinary people would be summoned by the Underworld Archons and successfully arrive at a certain location to meet up. Then, they would be escorted to the pier and sent to the Candle Boats one by one.
Every candle boat that floated on the Nether River symbolized a soul that had passed away.
The Styx was the most dangerous place in the world.
Logically, even if Ma Wen had to bite the bullet and go against the Snake Witch's arrangements, he should not have approached such a dangerous area.
However, there was a problem at the Styx's pier today!
…
On a gentle slope covered with moss, Ma Wen quickly jumped down from the back of the rock lizard.
He gently stroked the back of the rock lizard and conveyed his intention.
For the rest of the journey, he could only rely on his own feet to move forward. This rather intelligent mount could no longer carry him forward.
He told the rock lizard not to run around nearby and wait for him.
Although it was tamed, Ma Wen did not know if it would succeed.
However, he had already prepared for the rock lizard to run away by the time he returned to this place.
Then, he walked over alone.
After about five minutes, the Styx was already in front of him.
Ma Wen continued to look east. A bright lighthouse was shining with a dim light.
This kind of light would attract the nearby souls to make it convenient for the Underworld Archons to do their work.
Ma Wen restrained the aura of his whole body and entered stealth mode. He slowly approached the pier.
Just as Ma Wen had expected, the current Netherworld River Pier was indeed extremely congested!
After advancing to the Ruler of the Night, Ma Wen's body had been transformed. His eyes could now see souls that were invisible to the naked eye.
He stood on a hill and looked down. He saw all kinds of souls bustling about, almost blocking the entire Netherworld River Pier!
On the Nether River, rows of candlelight boats floated downstream in a congested manner.
Seeing this scene, on one hand, Ma Wen was glad that he had guessed correctly; on the other hand, he felt somewhat sorrowful.
The reason for such a situation was naturally because of the terrifying cataclysm!
One-third of Fernand's population died in just two weeks!
With a large number of souls without a home to return to, the Senators of Hell would probably be extremely busy!
Although this was good news for the Sovereigns of the Undead World. Before the Cataclysm, they should have made preparations in advance. However, when the Cataclysm arrived, they did not expect that the death toll would reach such a terrifying number!
The dock of the Netherworld River was completely blocked!
A large number of undead were waiting for the Senators of Hell to deal with. The Undead World, which was already short of manpower, was overwhelmed!
In this way, Ma Wen was given a chance to learn!
A chance to sneak across the Netherworld River!
…
On the other side of the Netherworld River was an open mountainous area. There was an arachne tribe there.
As long as he passed through the arachne tribe, he could bypass the Rotten Mushroom Swamp and reach the final destination of Ma Wen's trip — the Demon City.
Now the problem was how to cross the river.
Because he had the strategy, Ma Wen could handle things with ease.
The candlelight boat was a very special material. It was the only thing on the Netherworld River that could float.
The water of the Netherworld River, whether it was a living person or a soul, would be directly swallowed once they fell into it.
Even the gods would be seriously injured if they came into contact with a little of the water of the Netherworld River.
Of course, Ma Wen did not dare to take the risk.
He secretly found an area with a relatively dense number of candlelight boats. As the attention of the Senators of Hell was attracted by the demons, he easily calculated a safe route!
A faint red line appeared in front of his eyes.
In the next second, Marvin didn't stop. He stomped on the shore and leaped high into the air!
His figure was like a falcon swooping down like a hare, and he landed on a candlelight boat with great agility!
On that candlelight boat sat an old man with a wooden expression. He could not see Ma Wen at all!
"It's not a big problem!"
Marvin was overjoyed and continued forward.
Based on the route he had calculated earlier, he jumped on the candlelight boats one by one. The Senators of Hell on the dock did not notice at all that there was a human who could use such an opportunistic method to cross the Netherworld River!
After all, it was an extremely rare situation for so many candlelight boats to appear on the Netherworld River.
It just so happened that Ma Wen had bumped into them. Ma Wen's luck was pretty good.
Five minutes later, he jumped on the last candlelight boat.
This place was less than 20 meters away from the other side of the Netherworld River.
With Marvin's powerful physique, it was a piece of cake for him to cover this distance.
However, the moment he landed on the candlelight boat, he suddenly felt a pair of eyes staring at him!
It was a boy!
Unlike the indifferent gazes of the other undead on the candlelight boats, this boy could actually see him!
There was even a hint of surprise on his face.
However, Ma Wen's face was filled with incomparable astonishment!
Because he saw a familiar face, and a pair of familiar eyes!
Crimson eyes and a face filled with unyielding determination.
This was a member of the Harmon Clan! He was of the same clan as Isabelle!
More importantly, this boy was the Harmon Clan member that Ma Wen had fought alongside in his previous life!
In the beginning, Marvin only treated him as an important character in the mission. But as time went on, Marvin developed a good impression of this boy named Jay.
The boy's unyielding spirit and unflinching attitude in the face of death shocked Ma Wen.
"How could Jay have died?"
"Could it be due to my butterfly effect, that he died in the Great Cataclysm?"
Ma Wen's mind was in a whirl.
Jay seemed to have noticed Ma Wen's astonishment. He looked at Ma Wen and suddenly said something astonishing.
"I don't want to go to that world."
"When I was young, I heard from my grandmother that it is the coldest place in the world. I don't want to leave. "
"Can you help me, Sir?" "Sir."
Ma Wen hesitated for a moment and knew that he couldn't delay any longer.
The candlelight boat continued to drift downstream. Any later and he might be taken away!
Gritting his teeth, he retrieved the Book of Naru!
If it was someone else, he might have just washed his hands of this.
But Jay was different. This boy had obtained Ma Wen's recognition from the bottom of his heart.
He didn't wish for his appearance to cause this genius of the Harmon Clan to turn into a numb undead!
No matter what, he had to bring him away from the candlelight boat first!
…
The second was even more intense.
