  Chapter 105 The Ferryman's Gaze

  "Xu Yi, let me show you something good."

  Ed took two coins from the cabinet. They seemed to be some kind of ancient coins with beautiful carvings on them.

  "What is this?" Xu Yi asked curiously.

  The resentment enveloped on the coins was very light, and it didn't look like some powerful supernatural item.

  "Put these two coins on your eyes and try it." Ed handed the coins to Xu Yi.

  Xu Yi took the coins, weighed them, and then put the two coins in front of his eyes.

  This is the territory of the Warrens. If the other party wants to attack him, there is no need to bother. Besides, he doesn't think the other party will attack him for no reason.

  The money was covered in front of his eyes, his psychic ability was activated, and the scene in front of him suddenly changed.

  He saw a long winding river with black water and reddish mist floating on the surface.

  where is this place? Xu Yi was a little curious.

  At this time, a small boat slowly sailed towards him. The boatman was shrouded in a black robe, and his hood covered his face, making it difficult to see clearly.

  The boat was getting closer and closer, and the boatman suddenly raised his head, and the blood moon in the sky illuminated the boatman's face.

  Xu Yi was shocked. It was not a human face at all. It was covered with blue scales and had devilish horns on its head.

  The boatman is a demon, and a powerful one at that.

  Xu Yi calmed down quickly. After all, he had seen a lot of evil spirits and demons.

  The Eye of Darkness suddenly activated, and he saw that the boatman's body was covered with gray threads, densely packed, like countless iron worms squirming.

  It is the dark fog without a master.

  What is the identity of the other party? Why is there so much ownerless fog of darkness hanging over me?

  The pupil of darkness moved automatically, and the fog of darkness was drawn and poured into his pupils, making his eyes become cold.

  The boatman just happened to pass by here and did not find Xu Yi. But when the dark fog was pulled, the boatman turned his head suddenly, his purple-red pupils staring at Xu Yi without a trace of emotion.

  The oppressive feeling from those pupils was so strong that Xu Yi subconsciously closed his eyes to avoid it.

  In reality, Xu Yi had two coins covered in front of his eyes and his eyes were closed tightly.

  But when he closed his eyes in the psychic illusion, he opened his eyes in reality.

  "Are you okay?" Ed asked worriedly.

  People with psychic abilities usually just see some interesting sights when they put these two coins in front of their eyes. Xu Yi has never been in this situation, breathing rapidly and sweating all over his head.

  Xu Yi recovered and found that he had left the strange river and returned to the Warren couple's supernatural treasure room.

  "What is this?"

  Xu Yi took down the coins in front of his eyes and asked with lingering fear.

  "The ferryman's coin is a legend from ancient Greek mythology. I wonder if you have heard of it?"

  Ed continued to explain, "The souls of the dead must pass through the Styx if they want to enter the underworld, and Charon, the boatman in charge of the ferry, It is not a fuel-efficient lamp, he will ask for bribes from the souls of the past, otherwise the soul will drift in the River Styx forever."

  Xu Yi has indeed heard of it, and it has become a custom in some places.

  When people in those places are buried, they will deliberately choose two ancient coins to cover the eyes of the deceased.

  In this way, when their souls passed through the River Styx, they would have money to give to Charon, the boatman, so that they could pass smoothly.

  "So the river I saw is the River Styx?"

  Xu Yi still couldn't believe it. Just two coins allowed him to peek into a place like the River Styx?
  "That's not the real River Styx, it's just one of the thousands of projections of the River Styx. Speaking of which, what exactly did you see, and why did you have such a big reaction?" Ed asked curiously.

  "I saw Charon, the boatman."

  Xu Yi concealed the matter of absorbing the fog of darkness from Charon, the boatman, because it was too sensational.

  Ed became even more confused, "Both Luo Lin and Judy have seen the projection of Charon the Boatman, but they have never been in this situation like you." "

  Maybe it's because I'm less courageous!" Xu Yi quickly changed the subject, At the same time, he handed the coin back to Ed.

  After Ed took the coin, he was stunned for a moment.

  The cold feeling on the coin disappeared. He squeezed it a little harder, and the coin actually broke into more than a dozen pieces like crispy potato chips.

  "This thing is too flimsy!" Xu Yi muttered, feeling a little guilty.

  But at this moment, deep down in his heart, he was satisfied. [Eye of Obscure +18, current progress: 50/100]

  In just a short while, the experience gained by Eye of Obscure was almost as much as that of killing Demon Jason once.

  It seems that the legendary ferryman is also a demon. Those dark fogs obviously do not belong to Charon, the ferryman himself, otherwise they would not be easily swallowed by him.

  Is it because the opponent killed many demons that the fog of darkness was lingering?
  He couldn't find an answer to this question yet.

  "However, we can't do this kind of thing again!"

  Xu Yi knew very well. Because it was the first time he peeked into the Styx, the boatman Charon failed to notice him.

  If he enters the River Styx next time, the other party will definitely find him as a thief.

  Just thinking that Charon the boatman might have killed a large number of "accomplices" made him feel a little numb.

  Placed in a society of demons, the other party would be a brutal "murderer".

  Since the River Styx exists, does that mean that the legendary land of the underworld also exists? Xu Yi suddenly thought of something.

  "Let's get down to business first!"

  Ed was a little distressed after losing a supernatural collection, but he couldn't blame Xu Yi, after all, he was the one who proposed all of this.

  Xu Yi's eyes lit up as he looked at the wide variety of supernatural items.

  I don't know if there are any things similar to the ferryman's coins here. If I get a few more, I'm afraid I can fill up the Eyes of Darkness.

  In the following time, Xu Yi was like a hard-working little bee, constantly looking for the "Eye of Darkness Experience Pack". With the help of the Warrens, the Eye of Obscurity continued to advance.

  "Okay, let's end it here!"

  In the afternoon, Xu Yi had just finished devouring the dark mist on an owl ornament when Ed suddenly interrupted him.

  "Wait a minute! Wait a minute! I see it's on that cat-face mask too!" Xu Yi was unwilling to leave this treasure trove of experience.

  "That one is too dangerous. The seal of the magic box cannot be opened." Ed pushed Xu Yi out.

  Xu Yi hesitated for a moment, then reluctantly stopped.

  There shouldn’t be anything slipping through the net! Xu Yi looked around.

  Except for those items that were too dangerous, he basically absorbed everything else that contained the fog of darkness.

  He looked at the system panel and a smile appeared on his face.

  [Eye of Obscurity, current progress: 78/100]

  The entry information of Pupil of Obscurity has also changed.

  A strong feeling of coldness filled his pupils, Xu Yi closed his eyes subconsciously, and slowly opened them after a moment.

  The world in front of me is different again.

  He could clearly see the dark corners and see the dust flying in the air. The passing dust slowed down and its trajectory was clearly displayed before his eyes.

  "There are only the last 22 percentage points left to reach the final ultimate ability!" Xu Yi was in high spirits.

  "Judy, are you looking for something? The things inside are not toys and cannot be taken out!" Ed rubbed his temples, feeling tired.

  As soon as Judy came in, she squirmed around like a loach.

  "I know, Dad!" Judy didn't find what she was looking for and left a little reluctantly.

  The death piercing bomb is not here. Is it in dad's bedroom? Judy thought.

  Ed suddenly turned to look at Xu Yi, "I promised you before, and you have shopped around several times, so have you decided which gift to choose?" (End of Chapter
