Chapter 224 Goddesses are all petty
"Success! We succeeded!"
The snake mother jumped up from the ground excitedly and rushed to Loen beside her, wanting to express her excitement and gratitude at the moment.
However, Thetis, who was supporting Loen, took the lead and inserted herself between the two of them, blocking the excited Echidna and giving her a dry cough as a reminder.
"Would you like to put on your clothes first?"
The coolness on her body woke the snake mother up as if from a dream. She quickly took the clothes handed to her by the sea goddess and put them on herself to cover up her exposed spring light.
Although as a member of the gods and monsters, the wildness in her bones makes her not care about the shame of being naked, but when facing the god who gave her new life, she still has to maintain a minimum of respect and reserve.
Watching Echidna shed her half-snake form, transform into a human-like appearance, and walk towards him, Loen's eyes could not help but be attracted by the exaggerated ups and downs of her white gauze skirt, as majestic as a mountain.
Then, he glanced at Thetis, who was wearing the same gauze skirt and serving as a control group.
I have to say that there is a difference between those who have given birth to children and those who have not.
“Ahem!”
A cough with a hint of embarrassment interrupted someone's reverie. Thetis, aware of this, crossed her arms and her pretty face flushed slightly.
Loen smiled guiltily, quickly retracted his impolite gaze, turned to look at Echidna, and asked in a gentle voice.
"How do you feel now?"
"Very good! Very good!"
The snake mother moved her limbs excitedly, with satisfaction evident on her face.
“Not only is there nothing wrong with my body, but I seem to have become younger.”
Women are born to love beauty, and Echidna, a fairy, is no exception. She seems extremely happy about her now more delicate skin and more human-like beautiful appearance.
But in the midst of her excitement, the Snake Mother also discovered a small problem.
"My divinity seems to have declined a lot, and my strength is not as good as before."
"That's for sure."
Lorne nodded and explained in a deep voice.
"After such a long period of being corroded by the dead energy, your soul and body have been separated. With my ability, even if I resurrect you, I will definitely not be able to restore you to your previous state. It will probably take some time for you to return to your peak state."
"I understand this, but I still want to thank you for doing so much for me."
Echidna nodded slightly, and looked at Lorne with tenderness and appreciation.
"Now, I believe that you have indeed taken good care of my three daughters. They are lucky to have met you."
"You flatter me."
Luo En smiled warmly and took the initiative to invite him.
"Given your current condition, I suggest that you return to Athens with me. It would be better to recuperate on Ares Mountain for a while, get familiar with your body, and recover your previous strength before making any plans."
Having said that, Lorne played the emotional card and added a sincere sentence.
"Besides, Medusa and the others must have missed you too."
Hearing this, Echidna, whose maternal instinct and longing were aroused, nodded immediately and readily agreed to Lorne's proposal.
“Boom!”
Just as the four were about to continue talking and discussing the details of the next arrangements, a dull roar was heard from the stone gate.
Dozens of scaly black vines that looked like snakes broke through the stone wall and hissed as they spread towards the people in the cave.
When Luo En saw this, his face changed and he quickly shouted a warning.
"Oh no, Typhon is coming!"
"It must be that too much vitality has gathered in the cave during this period of time, which has attracted the attention of this monster!"
Thetis supported the staggering Lorne, her lips tightly pursed and her face solemn.
Seeing more and more snake-like black vines pouring in from the cave, Echidna's expression became serious and she spoke immediately.
"Follow me, I'll take you out!"
As she spoke, veins bulged on the snake mother's hands, transforming them into sharp claws. She and Thetis worked together to disperse the vines at the door, and then cleared a way for the group.
Thetis helped Lorne onto Cerberus' back and summoned two water balls, which hit Sisyphus and Adonis in the face.
Suddenly, the two unlucky guys who were unconscious on the ground woke up suddenly, wiped the wet water stains on their faces, and looked around blankly.
"Are we out?"
"No, I'm running for my life!"
Thetis responded in a deep voice while casting a spell to blast a group of black vines that were rushing up into several pieces.
Sisyphus looked at the broken black vines on the ground, which twisted and squirmed and turned into groups of hissing black snakes. His face suddenly turned green.
"Is this thing still there? I'll throw it away!"
Similarly, Adonis, who woke up a step later, looked at the collapsing corridor behind him and the large group of black snakes that were madly squeezing forward. He was at the end of the team and the narrow corridor in front of him had been blocked by his teammates. He could not run away. He could only raise his trembling hands and frantically squeeze the few divinities in his soul to block the invasion of the monsters behind him together with his fellow sufferer Sisyphus.
Fortunately, only groups of black snakes were chasing them, and the terrible leader of Typhon seemed to be unable to move freely due to some restrictions.
In addition, as a local native, Echidna is very familiar with the various passages and routes in the Arima Crypt.
Therefore, after several twists and turns, everyone successfully got rid of the group of black snakes behind them.
Just in case, they didn't dare to stay any longer and continued to pass through the dark and complex underground passages towards the ground.
I don’t know how long I walked in the darkness, but a ray of golden sunlight penetrated the mist and came into my eyes.
Coming out?!
Everyone was excited and immediately quickened their pace, breaking through the barrier of dense shade of plants to greet the long-awaited dawn of the world of the living.
“Ouch!”
However, as soon as he came into contact with the strong breath of life and the bright sunlight outside, a puff of green smoke rose from Adonis's body, and he retreated into the darkness with a grin.
He was in a state of soul, and having stayed in the underworld for some time, he was contaminated with a lot of death energy.
Therefore, even if you escape from underground, you will inevitably be burned by the breath of the world of the living.
Seeing this, Loen took out the Holy Grail, engraved the defensive spell of protecting the undead on Aiyu Island with divine blood, and shook it at Adonis.
"Come in here!"
The Prince of Cyprus had no doubts and hurriedly turned into a shadow and hid in the Holy Grail.
"Ahaha, you all have other things to do, right? I'm leaving now. I won't bother you anymore!"
At the same time, Sisyphus, who was unaffected, laughed while pushing the power of the god of wind in his body to the extreme, protecting the back of his neck with both hands, and rushing away quickly.
As the whistling wind sounded in his ears and the bright sunshine sprinkled on his body, Sisyphus, who had run some distance away, could not help but feel ecstatic and moved to the point of almost crying.
Damn it, I ran so many times in advance and finally succeeded this time!
At this time, Lorne and Thetis in front of the Arima Crypt looked at each other and put down their arms helplessly.
You know what, this old guy is quite clever...
Forget it, just go. He didn't hear any key information anyway. Besides, he can also be a scapegoat and attract the attention of the gods of the underworld for them.
After deciding to let Sisyphus go, Loen turned around and looked helplessly at Cerberus, who was squatting in the shadows, sticking out his tongue at him with a lingering look.
As the guard dog of Hades and the dangerous offspring of Typhon, it still had the mark of Hades on its body, so it obviously couldn't go with them.
"Go back first. I'll come to see you after a while."
After moving the dog head in the middle and whispering some instructions, Loen left some honey cakes and wine, and stood at the entrance of the Arima Crypt with the Snake Mother, watching Cerberus walk towards the depths of the underworld, looking back every few steps.
When the dog's figure completely disappeared in the darkness, Loen turned his head and looked at the snake mother beside him.
"Lady Echidna, I have some personal matters to attend to. If you don't mind, how about letting Thetis take you to Athens? I will send a message to Medusa and the others to come and pick you up."
"good!"
The snake mother nodded slightly and had no objection to this arrangement.
As a god who had returned from the dead, and with Typhon's family, she was also worried that she would run into some of the main gods of Olympus and die again.
However, Thetis, who was entrusted with this task, did not move for a long time, and looked at the client subtly.
Lorne smiled slightly and threw out his chips as usual.
"Understood, one more favor!"
"no."
However, Thetis on the opposite side shook her head with a meaningful look of mockery on her face.
"Do to Athena what you did to me."
“…”
Looking at the owl feather stuffed into his palm and the sea goddess walking away with Echidna, the silent Loen's mouth twitched slightly.
Goddess, you are such a petty person.
Meanwhile, Ares Hill in Athens.
“A-choo!”
A white owl standing on the roof of the temple, looking at the whole of Athens, felt a chill running down his back for some reason and sneezed loudly.
