Chapter 353 The End of the Hunteress Legend
Since he already had the ability to remove the curse, the great hero naturally reached out and stroked the lion's head.
With just a touch, the strong lion rolled on the spot and recovered his human identity. It was a handsome young man. He looked at his palm in surprise and was very happy.
The great hero touched another lion and other little lions again. The once cursed huntress and her young children returned to their former appearance.
It was not until this time that the great hero met the hunter whom he had not met. It was as beautiful and frivolous as the world imagined, with bright eyes.
The Hunter thanked him to bow down to the great hero.
"Thank you, Hercules. If it weren't for you, I really don't know how many years would it take for us couples to recover our identity and appearance."
"I accept your thanks, but I also ask you to promise me something, and I will compete with you for archery."
The great hero readily accepted the huntress's gratitude, but also made a request.
He had heard the story of this hunter a long time ago. It is said that she was taught archery by the hunting queen Artemis, so she was hit every time and eventually relied on her own archery to successfully kill the Calydon wild boar.
Of course, he had the intention of competing for such a person.
The hunter of course agreed, so the three of them decided to find a place to compete together. However, in order to take care of her children, the hunter needs to clean up his residence and then go to compete with the big hero after a while.
So the hero went to the nearby city first and waited for the Hunter's family in advance.
But the hero had arrived in the city before, and he met an old woman on a small road. The old woman looked very pitiful and kept crying.
The great hero softened his heart and asked in a good voice.
"Old man, are you in any trouble? If your son is unfilial, please tell me and I will teach him a lesson for you. If you lack food and clothing, I have some money here."
The white-haired old woman wiped her tears and choked.
"I was not bullied. My sons are all very good, and I am not short of clothes and food. But I am a down-and-out old woman, bullied, and no one can help me. When I think of this, I I couldn't help crying."
The great hero said in confusion.
"Who bullied you? Tell me?"
The old woman looked up, looked at the great hero in front of her, and said sadly.
"To be honest, I used to be a decent and famous person, and I had a lot of land at home. But recently, two rude people made trouble at my home. So I complained to the judge, but fortunately the judge was kind and fair. , punish them for doing hard labor for me for a hundred days. Unexpectedly, after only a few days of service, the judge's son heard the demands of the two men and felt that the punishment was too heavy, so he changed the document and wiped out their hard labor. "
"Young people, now people laugh at me, saying that I am old and useless, so I was bullied by others. I was so angry that I hid here and cried silently."
The old woman beat her chest and stamped her feet, her voice full of complaints.
Then, she asked the great hero.
"Young man, you are honest and fair. Do you say that if you do something wrong, should you be punished?"
"Of course, if you do something wrong, you should be punished."
"Then are I doing something wrong?"
The great hero felt that a hundred days of hard labor was not too much, so he said.
"Since they are making trouble in your house, it is worth being punished. A hundred days of hard labor is not too long, as long as they know their mistakes and repent in the future. Old man, where are they? I'll catch those two people here now. You continue to work hard labor.”
The old woman stared at the great hero in front of her and stared for a long time.
After she felt uncomfortable in the big hero's body, she nodded slowly, showed a satisfied smile, and covered her mouth and smiled.
"Haha, young man, you are such an honest and kind-hearted person, willing to say so much to my old lady. Alas, my old lady is not a bad person, in fact, it's just that two young people made a mistake. You're right, as long as they do them Just correct me if you know your mistakes. I don’t force anything, and I don’t want them to serve me for a hundred days, as long as they serve half of me.”
"Do you still need my help?"
"Oh my god, no need."
The old woman waved her hand and said with a smile.
"I just heard someone tell me that the judge's son still felt that he should insist on the punishment, so that my old lady would feel relieved."
The great hero vaguely felt something was wrong and wanted to ask a few more questions, but the old woman was walking slowly towards the jungle.
There was no way, the hero could only continue to walk into the city, but the more he thought about it, the more he became, the more he was getting worse, and suddenly there was a flash of inspiration, as if some kind of confusion had been broken.
"not good!"
He suddenly shouted, turned his head and was about to run back.
When he hurriedly crossed the jungle and came to the hunter's family, he saw the hunter's family with humans on the upper body and four-legged lion on the lower body.
"It's sad, great hero, the goddess of nature, Sibri still refuses to forgive us and turns us into this half-human and half-liu."
The hunter said helplessly.
At this moment, the guess in the great hero's mind was confirmed. The old woman I just met was Sibri, the goddess of nature. It was precisely my carelessness that made the hunter suffer another tragic punishment.
He wanted to remove the curse from the Hunter's family again, but found that his hands were no longer effective, as if the half-human and half-liu were their true bodies.
The hero felt ashamed. The invincible hero felt that he had let down the two people in front of him.
The female hunter comforted him.
"It's okay, hero. Compared to the past, it's much better now."
No mistakes in one sentence, one post, one content, one 6, one 9, one book, one bar!
As she spoke, she stretched out her hand.
The hand that used to be had become a lion's claw, and could no longer hold a bow.
After handing a gorgeous arrow to the hero, the female hunter said sincerely.
"This is the precious arrow given to me by the goddess Artemis as a reward for my service to her. I have always treasured it, and I am reluctant to give it up even if I become a lion. Now I can no longer draw the bow, I just hope you can make good use of it."
Taking this gorgeous arrow, the golden arrow seemed to be made of gold, exquisite and beautiful, more like some kind of work of art than a weapon, no wonder the female hunter has always collected it.
Neither of them mentioned the agreed competition again until they parted. The two most skilled archers in the entire Greek world never had a competition after all. It was a pity to miss it.
After that, the huntress and her family disappeared quietly.
Later, the great hero would occasionally hear some rumors.
Legend has it that the huntress and her husband went to a distant place together and gave birth to many half-lion and half-human offspring, who then married mortals. Therefore, in that distant place, some humans with lion ears, lion tails, and lion claws can be seen. They are their offspring.
Of course, these are all later things.
At this moment, the great hero only felt a deep sense of powerlessness.
Even as powerful as he was, sometimes he had to admit that there were some forces that he could hardly defy.
"Gods..."
He said sadly, but he had to force himself to move forward and complete his mission.
Such troubles finally reached their peak when he met the rampaging white bull.
The powerful white bull with infinite strength caused earthquakes on the earth wantonly to punish mortals for its owner. When the hero arrived, the big white bull was lying on the ground and resting leisurely.
The hero did not intend to take its life, so he tried to subdue the mad bull with his strength.
He held the bull's horns tightly with both hands. When the bull was awakened by the hero, it tried to break free frantically, and the powerful force was enough to crack the earth. But even such a strong force could not resist the hero's strange power.
The hero rode on its back and tried to tame the bull by force.
After a fierce confrontation, the bull was out of breath and had to admit defeat, wailing and surrendering to the enemy on its back.
So the hero rode this big bull that could walk on water, ready to pass through the sea and return to the king to ask for a reward.
However, when the big bull came to the sea, the sea suddenly became angry, and the surging waves and tides were turbulent, showing the power of its master.
Finally, a majestic face emerged from the sea, and the lips of the face opened and closed.
"Demigod, this is a feud between me and the king. It has nothing to do with you. Go away!"
