Chapter 119: Open the door, the four gods send warmth! (Last day to ask for monthly tickets)
A few hours later, the four gods gathered in the valley outside Knossos.
Then, the host, the goddess of wisdom Athena, wearing a bronze skirt and armor, holding the Aegis in one hand and the Spear of Victory in the other, struck each other, making a crisp sound.
The three Gorgon sisters, who possessed the divinity of snakes, pulled the reins of three celestial horses and drove a bronze chariot out of the sacrificial site in the city.
Artemis, the goddess of hunting, put the thumb and index finger of the ring to her lips and blew a rapid whistle.
A breeze blew through the forest. Three lop-eared dogs, two mixed-colored dogs, a spotted dog, and seven very fast Spartan dogs arrived first. Then two long-horned female deer with golden bits pulled the golden chariot towards their master. Behind them, twenty nymphs dressed in hunting clothes, with bows and spears on their backs, all of them heroic and nearly two meters tall, marched with long legs and quickly gathered in the valley.
Apollo, the god of light, gracefully raised his hand, picked up the seven-string lyre that appeared in his arms, and gently plucked the notes.
Nine Muses with flying skirts gathered in response, accompanying Apollo with laughter and singing.
They are the nine daughters of Zeus, the king of gods, and Mnemosyne, the goddess of memory, who is one of the Titans. They are also the collective name of the nine ancient goddesses of art and science in Greek mythology. They represent the myths and legends expressed through traditional music and dance, that is, the poems handed down from the times. Apollo, the god of light and prophecy, is their main god.
Looking at the three main gods who were ready to hunt, as well as their respective subordinate gods, Loen and Hestia could not help but look at each other.
With this situation, what kind of prey is there on the island that is enough for them to hunt?
"We're going to the Crete Mountains?"
Hestia swallowed, uncertain.
Even if all the species that can breathe in the entire Crete Mountains were to join the battle together, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to survive more than one round with such a luxurious lineup, right?
Athena shook her head slightly and gave a meaningful smile.
"No, if you want to hunt the biggest and best prey, you have to go to the Sea of Oceanus!"
In an instant, Loen understood everything, and a gloating expression appeared on his face.
Sure enough, based on his understanding of this goddess of wisdom, this woman could hide three or four holes to dig traps in just one sentence.
How could she possibly invite Apollo to visit her despite Hestia's dislike for her?
Athena will only be so enthusiastic when there is no good banquet!
At present, the only thing that can be considered a threat to Crete is naturally something on the sea.
Coincidentally, Artemis had just been ambushed from a distance and was worried about where to vent her anger.
Since they had a common goal, the two sides naturally hit it off, including Apollo who had feelings for Hestia.
In other words, they are not going to form a team to fight in the wild, but to form a team to kill Poseidon!
Now, there’s something interesting to watch!
Realizing the real purpose of this trip, Loen immediately put on a look of deep sorrow and complained to the three main gods.
"Not long ago, the monsters on the Oceanus Sea were rampant and launched a beast tide, destroying thousands of ships and countless fertile fields. Hundreds of thousands of Minoans died at the hands of these monsters. Among them, the six-headed, twelve-legged sea monster Scylla, the great whirlpool Charybdis, and the three Siren sisters entrenched in the Strait of Messina are the most powerful and hateful!"
"Well, that's them!"
Suddenly, Artemis, who had already developed a tacit understanding with Loen, took over the conversation and selected the target for the first hunt.
"Everyone, I'm one step ahead! The first kill is mine, you guys should fight for the second place!"
Having said that, the goddess of hunting dragged Lorne onto the chariot without further ado and put the reins into his hands.
"Quick, lead the way!"
Without waiting for Loen to speak, Artemis whipped the horned deer on its butt.
Suddenly, the two long-horned deer let out a low moo, and immediately lowered their heads to pull the chariot, rushing into the air towards the vast sea, leaving a trail in the distance.
Twenty nymphs, the gods' followers, followed closely behind, walking on the turbulent waves as if they were walking on flat ground.
They are both nymphs and descendants of the ocean, and are naturally close to water.
"Oh, that's so cunning, Artemis!"
Seeing her own slave god being kidnapped right in front of her, Hestia was so angry that her eyes widened.
At this moment, Athena smiled, stretched out her hand, and took the initiative to extend an olive branch.
"Aunt, do you need help?"
"Let's chase! We can't let Artemis get ahead of us!"
Hestia immediately nodded angrily, and it was unclear whether he was talking about the hunt or something else.
"certainly!"
The Goddess of Wisdom readily agreed and immediately reached out to pull the Goddess of the Hearth onto her chariot.
The three Gorgons in charge of driving the horse, some were filled with anger as they shared a common enemy, some were filled with excitement as they wished the world would not be in turmoil. They all swung the reins and gave orders to the winged Pegasus, which was usually white in color and was raised by them.
"Pegasus, good boys, come on, come on!"
Suddenly, three pure white Pegasus snorted, flapped their snow-white wings, and galloped rapidly across the sea.
In a blink of an eye, of the three hunting teams that were originally moving forward in unison, only Apollo was left alone.
Looking at Artemis and Hestia disappearing into the distance, the handsome man who was always the focus of the scene had a changeable expression.
"Walk!"
Finally, Apollo squeezed out a stiff word from between his teeth. The nine Muses noticed that their main god was obviously unhappy, and did not dare to say much. They immediately hummed passionate tunes to mobilize the passion of the horses pulling the chariot, speeding them up and rushing towards the team in front.
Above the sea, three hunting teams tore through the turbulent waves and rushed forward.
Under the deep water, the awakened sea beasts floated up with roars.
However, as soon as they appeared, they were brutally slaughtered.
The silver arrows became thousands and thousands, as dense as rain.
The golden arrows fell from the sky like meteors;
The light-like spears were as swift as lightning, cutting through the waves;
Some were as majestic as mountains, some were as long as dozens of meters. The sea beasts with various appearances were really unlucky and died on the spot before the enemy could even see them clearly.
Blood flowed like a river beneath them, and the strong smell of blood spread in all directions. The violent ether almost condensed into substance, accusing the outsiders of bloodiness and brutality.
But then, the nymphs spread out in an arc, skimming across the sea, taking away the magic cores as trophies;
The sea water crawled and churned like a swarm of snakes and pythons, swallowing up blood and flesh, pushing aside heavy floating objects, and clearing the channel;
The nine Muses, singing or humming, paid tribute to the dead souls, purified the miasma and dead air growing on the sea surface, and prevented the spread of disease...
Under this all-round attack of massacre, cleanup and cleanup, the originally noisy coastal area suddenly became quiet.
As the three hunting teams swept along the way, they soon arrived at the Strait of Messina where the Sirens lurked. They knocked on the doors of several of Poseidon's demigod followers and sent heartwarming greetings.
"boom!"
Apollo, who had not been able to show anything, raised his hand slightly, and the golden halo sank into the sea and exploded, and the surging and fiery divine power spread in all directions.
For a moment, the deep-sea creatures, sensing the danger, scattered like birds and beasts and fled in panic.
In this chaotic tide of beasts, the four main gods easily discovered the mermaid Scylla, the great whirlpool Charybdis, and the three Siren sisters mixed in, and then started their first hunt.
Artemis took Lorne with her and headed straight for Scylla, who was the easiest to deal with. She wanted to win the first battle as soon as possible and then enjoy the post-war celebration.
Because the best reward is already in her hands!
It's about to explode. Please vote for it at the end of the month. Please support me, so that I can stay at the tenth place in the new book monthly vote list.
