"Okay, where do we go now?"
As Lin Ke spoke, he raised the Sand Blade in his hand.
He walked quickly in the direction of the Sand Blade and soon heard a series of "rustling" sounds.
He lowered his head and saw the river water which was as dark as ink.
Styx.
The surface of the River Styx was as calm as a mirror, without a single ripple, yet one could hear the "clattering" sound of waves hitting the river bank.
Moreover, Lin Ke just approached it and immediately felt a piercing coldness.
It was completely different from the cold felt by the flesh. It was as if the coldness came from Lin Ke's bones and could almost freeze one's soul.
Not only that, the air here also has a smell of decaying objects. Every breath makes Lin Ke feel as if he is in a hunting ground full of corpses.
He raised his head and saw that in the distance, the river had completely merged into the darkness, like the sea at night.
At this time, the water currents on the shore seemed to have life. They began to roll and hit the shore, and then a few drops of black water splashed onto Lin Ke's skin.
However, after just a brief contact with the water droplets, Lin Ke immediately felt a piercing pain, as if many cold hands were pulling at his soul.
The River Styx is dangerous!
He immediately took two steps back, keeping a safe distance from the Styx.
"This is the River Styx." Lin Ke murmured in a low voice. He didn't know how Ramses stepped into the River Styx.
Could it be that in order to see the scenes in the prophecy, he endured the tremendous pain and entered it?
You are worthy of being my younger brother!
At this time, Lin Ke looked down at the Sand Blade in his hand, and a faint light was flashing on the blade.
Lin Ke looked at the Sand Blade, then looked at the direction the Sand Blade was pointing, and suddenly understood something in his heart.
"You want me to go to the other side of the river?"
The light of the Sand Blade flashed, and that was the answer to Lin Ke.
Lin Ke nodded and began to think about how to cross the river.
There seemed to be no tools nearby that could be used.
But it was definitely impossible to swim over. The moment he entered the water, Lin Ke felt that he would faint from the pain.
We have to think of other ways.
So, Lin Ke continued walking along the River Styx, intending to find some tools to cross the river.
Just then he saw a small boat.
The small boat was quietly moored at the shore, and on the boat sat a boatman in a tattered robe.
The boatman's face was hidden in the shadow of his cloak, and only his eyes, sparkling with a faint green light, could be seen.
In his hand he held a long oar which looked stinky.
It was as if the body had already rotted here.
But for Lin Ke, as long as they can help, whether they are human or ghost, they are his friends.
So, Lin Ke stepped forward and said, "Boatman, I want to cross the river."
"Can you help me get to the other side?"
The boatman raised his head, his eyes were neither human nor ghostly, nor like a demon.
Lin Ke didn't know what he was either.
"Cross the river, yes."
“But you have to pay.”
Hearing this, Lin Ke frowned slightly.
Pay?
Where does the money come from in the underworld now!
Moreover, as the Holy Pharaoh, Lin Ke doesn't need to carry any money with him.
However, Lin Ke was not panicked, but said calmly: "I don't have any money."
"But I can give you the clothes I'm wearing. They are priceless."
The boatman raised his mouth slightly, with a very strange smile: "Your clothes are worthless here."
"But, there is another way to pay."
"Use your knowledge."
Lin Ke's voice was a little doubtful. For a moment he thought the other party wanted his brain: "Knowledge?"
The boatman grinned and chuckled, as if Lin Ke was a lamb waiting to be slaughtered: "Just answer a few of my questions, and that will count as your payment."
When Lin Ke heard this, his brain started working immediately.
He thought about how he had been answering all kinds of questions along the way.
He could probably guess that this was a test from the god.
So he nodded, his face calm: "Okay, that would be the best."
"However, in addition to the 'knowledge fee' that should be paid, I am willing to pay additional 'fees'."
"If I answer the extra questions, can you speed me across the Styx?"
The boatman laughed again, and this time Lin Ke could hear that the laughter had a hint of gloating and mocking tone: "Haha, of course."
"Then let's get started now."
"If you answer incorrectly, you will get off my boat immediately."
The boatman began to ask questions and rowed the boat: "I am both the creator and the destroyer, I am both light and darkness, I am both the beginning and the end. What am I?"
Lin Ke almost didn't think about it and immediately answered: "Energy."
When the boatman heard Lin Ke's answer, he suddenly stopped rowing.
Obviously, he didn't expect Lin Ke to answer so quickly.
He smiled evilly, and Lin Ke took that as recognition of his strength: "Then, the second question."
“I am invisible, but I can shape everything; I am voiceless, but I can shock the soul; I am colorless, but I can depict the world.”
"I, what..."
Lin Ke answered again: "Thoughts."
After he answered for the second time, the boatman could no longer laugh.
