Chapter 2197: Styx Cologne

Grandma Green took a deep look at the young mage, and said softly: "You don't need to explain, there are some things, it's better to keep them in mind."
Qiao An was relieved upon hearing the words.
"Little mage, put the branch here first. I need to spend three days to infuse it with mythical power, and then you can take the branch again."
The green mother-in-law stared at the tender green branch in her hand, and then she spoke again after a long time of contemplation.
"In addition to this branch, I still have something I want to give you, but if you want to get that treasure, you must pass a harsh trial. I am still not sure whether you have the ability to pass the trial."
"What trial are you referring to?"
Qiao An asked curiously, and at the same time he thought of the test he had received at the "Wisdom Spring". He cut out an eye and hung upside down on a branch for nine days and nine nights.
That was the biggest bitterness he had ever suffered in his life, and the worst crime he had ever suffered. Looking back, he still feels lingering fears.
Green mother-in-law did not directly answer his question. She pointed to her feet and said to herself: "Under my feet, where the roots extend the deepest, at the bottom of the'Spring of the Beginning', there is a mysterious clear spring, the evil Styx Dragon. One family, the children and grandchildren of Niederhogg, dream of breaking through my root blockade and possessing that spring."
"The spring water hidden deep under the tree..." Qiao An muttered to himself, his strong sense of sight made him immediately think of "the fountain of wisdom".
Granny Green waved her hand, beckoning him not to interrupt and keep listening.
"Child, let's make an agreement. If you can rely on your own strength to hunt down a mythical Stygian dragon that has reached the ancient level, or take a step back, it will play an indispensable role in the fight to hunt the Stygian dragon. I’ll give you a chance to accept the trial. Would you like to try it?"
"I am willing!" Qiao An solemnly promised.
The ancient dragon of Styx, the heir of the ancient mythological poisonous dragon "Nid Hogg", as a true dragon, also has a mythical lineage, and the strength is probably not inferior to the cold forest snake dragon.
Joan was a little bit pressured to single out such a monster. But as long as he is fully prepared, he is at least 80% sure to slaughter the Styx Ancient Dragon!
"Yes, you are very courageous." Green mother-in-law smiled and nodded. "My child, I hope you have the strength not inferior to courage. I look forward to your performance."
The conversation ends here, Qiao Ann bids farewell to Green Granny and leaves the Ashwood.
...
Clark, Gayna, Hilde, and Ms. Helin were still waiting outside the woods. Seeing Qiao Ann came out, Gayna hurried up to greet him, and couldn't wait to find out what Mother Green had said to him in private.
Qiao Ann knew some details could not be revealed, so he vaguely prevaried.
I only said that I knew the two elders of Green Granny. Because of this relationship, Green Granny agreed to help him strengthen the "Branch of Ilminsur", and also put forward a test, asking him to kill a mythical Styx Dragon.
...
"What? Killing the ancient dragon of the Styx, relying on your strength alone?" Ms. Helin shook her head flatly, "Mrs. Green is joking, it's impossible to do it!"
"Mom! Don't talk too much. I don't think Mother Green is just talking about it casually, maybe Qiao An can really do it!" Gaina sang her against her mother openly.
Ms. Helene gave her daughter an angry look.
"The six Styx ancient dragons, Gein, Moin, Grabac, Ovenir, Grafvorud, and Swafenir, all possess powers close to the legendary level, and they are all Tier 6 mythical creatures. You don't know how terrible they are?"
"No matter how genius Qiao An is, after all, he is only a 17-year-old child, how can he fight the mythical dragon on his own!"
"But you and Dad have said that the cold forest snake dragon that occupied Sigurd's cemetery before is not under any Stygian dragon, right?" Gayna asked her mother.
Ms. Helene hesitated and nodded: "I said this before, but so what?"
"The Cold Forest Snake Dragon is dead. It was nominally killed by me, Hilde, Sharon, Clark, Big Horn, and Joe Ann. In fact, we all know in our hearts that Joe Ann played no role in that dragon battle. replace."
"As for the rest of us... Frankly speaking, it doesn't matter if there is one more or one less."
"I even suspect that even if we don't participate and rely on Qiao An alone, as long as we give him more time to investigate the cold forest snake dragon, collect intelligence, and plan combat plans, we can finally achieve the great cause of slaying the dragon."
Winter Witch had firm eyes and had absolute confidence in her judgment.
Clark repeatedly nodded his head: "I agree with Genna! Aunt Helin, I was born and died from the south with Qiao'an, no one knows him better than I do!"
"You said that the ancient dragon of the Styx is very dangerous, can it be more dangerous than the "Snow Demon" Wendigo? The ancient dragon has the power of 6th order mythology, and the snow demon also has the power of 6th order mythology, and it is immortal. My brother was killed cleanly!"
"The Styx cologne is indeed very powerful. I definitely don’t deny it! Six years ago, I encountered the ancient dragon named Gein on the Arctic seashore and had a fight with him, if it weren’t for Genna and Hilde passing by. , Rescued me from Dulong's mouth, and my life was lost."
"But then again, brother Qiao'an is much stronger than me. No matter how fierce the poisonous dragon is, can he be more fierce than Granny Amanda in the Wandering Gulch? As a result, the lich lady was beaten by brother Joan and begged for mercy. !"
Frost Giant's eloquence is even better than his boxing skills. Qiao Ann couldn't help blushing and embarrassed by listening to him blowing wildly.
Ms. Helene was also deeply shocked, turning her head to look at her daughter and Hilde, her eyes revealed an expression of disbelief.
"The big guys tell the truth!" Hilde assured him.
Genna nodded again and again.
In fact, she herself had doubted that Clarke's description of JoAnn's past brilliant achievements was somewhat exaggerated.
However, since the battle of slaying the dragon in the yew forest, she has completely dispelled Qiao An's suspicion.
...
·Allusions of "Tree of Life" and "Poisonous Dragon" (from Norse mythology)
Under the "inexhaustible fountain" Hwagmir, there is a terrible poisonous dragon named "Nidhogg".
This poisonous dragon kept gnawing at the roots of the "Tree of Life" and six big snakes, Goin, Moin, Grabak, Ofnir, Grafvorud (Grafvollud) and Svafnir (Svafnir), to help the dragon do this job of destroying the roots of the tree.
Both the poisonous dragon and the serpent wanted to kill the "tree of life".
It is said that when the "Tree of Life" dies, the end of the gods will come.
