Chapter 589

The Argonauts hit land again, and they came to rest on the other side of Bisnia, where Phineus, the son of the hero Agenor, lived.

Because Phineus abused the ability of prophecy taught to him by the god of light Apollo, he suddenly became blind in his old age.

In order to punish Phineus, the gods sent a harpy with a woman's head to attack Phineus, so that Phineus, who was blind, could not eat normally.

These harpies snatched as much food as possible from Phineus's presence, and soiled the rest of the food, rendering Phineus inedible.

Although under the torture of the harpies, Phineus was starving and dying, but Phineus once received an oracle from Zeus: when the Argonauts came, he could get rid of the harpies.

When the Argonaut arrived, Phineus, who heard the news, hurriedly left the house and came to the shore. Phineus was so weak that his legs were trembling, and he staggered when he walked. When he came to the Argonauts, he was immediately exhausted and fainted on the ground.

The Argonauts who got off the boat surrounded the poor old man and were amazed to see him withered.

After Phineus woke up, he immediately pleaded with the Argonauts.

Since it was the request of the gods, the heroes naturally agreed to expel these harpies for the king.

The Argonauts set a table of sumptuous food for Phineus. Before Phineus had time to eat, a group of harpies rushed down from the air like a gust of wind and greedily pecked.

The Argonauts threatened loudly, but the harpies remained unmoved until they had swallowed everything up before flying into the sky with an unbearable stench.

The heroes chased them with their swords drawn, but the harpies were in the air and they couldn't do anything about the birds.

Ye Ting knew that these harpies were monsters raised by gods. The gods did not allow Argonauts to kill harpies. The existence of these harpies and Phineus was just an excuse to give Some prophecies from the Argonauts, just a little help.

But will he let the gods succeed?

Chapter 0741 The secret help of the gods

The harpies fly high in the air and cannot be dealt with by ordinary methods, so the heroes plan to use bows and arrows.

Ordinary bows and arrows are not deadly to harpies, so Ye Ting secretly enchanted the arrows with "hit" magic, and painted them with venom from Medusa in Gorgon state.

Such arrows must be able to hit the "hounds" of these gods.

The Argonauts didn't know about this. They picked up the arrows enchanted by Ye Ting, bent bows and arrows, and shot them at the harpies in the sky.

At this moment, they found that their archery was inexplicably accurate.

But no one thought about it much, and everyone thought it was because they had followed the oracle of Zeus and were thus blessed.

Some even began to praise the great god-king loudly.

The arrows hit the flying harpies one after another. As magical beasts, the harpies are not so easily killed by ordinary arrows, but they still screamed loudly.

At this time, Aerys, the messenger of Zeus, appeared.

The rainbow goddess Aerys proclaimed the divine will of the god-king Zeus to the Argonauts.

"O heroes of the Argonauts, never kill the great Zeus' hound harpies. But I can swear by the Styx River Styx that these harpies will never torture Agenor again. son."

The Argonauts stopped their hands after hearing this.

Just as Aerys was about to take the harpies away, the arrow-shot harpies suddenly began to fly crookedly.

Aerys thought that they were injured and didn't care. With the physique of beasts, such injuries would heal quickly.

Unfortunately, it backfired, and these harpies had no chance to heal again. As they flew, Medusa's poison had entered their bodies from the wound, consuming their vitality.

All the harpies hit by arrows lost their lives.

And Aerys didn't know what happened at all, so he could only watch the monsters of Zeus get killed and injured.

Then she remembered the culprits, the Argonauts.

It's a pity that neither she nor Zeus can take revenge on the Argonauts, because they still expect the heroes to work for them.

In this way, they can only eat this dumb loss.

On the other side, the Argonauts, who were unaware of everything, feasted the dying king Phineus on the Argonaut.

Phineus devoured the clean and rich food greedily, as if it were all happening in a dream.

At night, the aged king Phineus, in order to thank the Argonauts, gave them a prophecy.

"In the narrow channel of Cenos you will first come across the Collision Rocks, which are two steep mountains. They did not grow from the bottom of the sea, but floated from afar, and sometimes the currents brought them together and collided, and sometimes Separate them again. The tide is running between the two mountains, making a terrible roar. If you don't want to be crushed, you must paddle hard and fast as you pass between the two mountains, and let the boat fly like a dove. After there , you will come to the seaside of Mariantina, the entrance to hell. You will pass many mountains, bays, and places where the Carubles dig iron ore from the ground in sweat. Finally, you will reach Dakota The shores of Erchis, from where the swift waters of the broad Faris flow into the sea, and then you will see the great castle of King Aietes,

There a dragon that never sleeps guards the golden fleece that hangs from the canopy of the oak tree. "

King Phineus was full of gratitude to the Argonauts, and after saying goodbye to them reluctantly, the Argonauts embarked on a new adventure.

When the Argonauts came to the narrow strait of Cenos, the Argonauts heard a thunderous noise in the distance, and saw two huge bumping rocks floating on the sea collide with each other, drifted away, and then collided again. Together.

The rock-banging went back and forth like this, and the thunderous sound continued to sound.

The rock crash was too huge. Compared to them, the Argonaut was as small as a toy. For a time, everyone lost the courage to move forward.

Then the crowd remembered King Phineus' prophecy that if the pigeons could fly through the two rams without fear, then they could move forward with confidence.

As soon as the two rams separated, they hurriedly released the pigeons.

Under the expectant gaze of the Argonauts, the two rams began to approach each other again as the dove flew past.

The sea set off huge waves in the strait, the sea and the sky were roaring, and the two floating giant rocks were about to lean against each other, leaving only a line of space for the pigeons to fly over. The pigeon flapped its wings and finally flew over safely, and the colliding rocks clipped the pigeon's tail feathers.

Seeing this scene, Tifes loudly encouraged the paddling hero to take advantage of the separation of the giant rock to row bravely.

The Argonauts moved forward with the current, and the Argonauts made concerted efforts to row the oars, and the oars were bent like bows.

When the Argonaut was about to pass through the middle of the two ramming rocks, the vortex on the sea surface pulled the ship into the middle of the ramming rocks again, and the huge rock almost rubbed the hull of the ship.

But in the end, the Argonaut was still not caught. Like a pigeon, the Argonaut survived the difficulty at the last moment and was only clipped off a few boards at the stern.

This experience greatly lifted the spirits of the heroes of the Argonaut, and the decadence and pessimism that had been caused by the deaths of many of their companions in the Amazon were swept away.

With the blessing of God and the instructions of prophecy, what other difficulties could stumbling them?

After a day and a night of sailing, the Argonaut arrived at the kingdom of Caliber, just as Phineus had predicted.

The people here neither farm nor herd, but spend all day mining iron ore in the desolate land, in exchange for food with people from neighboring countries.

They labored hard in dark cellars and thick smoke, and lived without joy.

When the Argonauts arrive on the Isle of Aretea, they unexpectedly meet new friends and companions here.

They walked a few steps ashore, and met four young men in ragged clothes walking towards them.

One of them hurried towards them and said for help.

"Good-hearted people, no matter who you are, please help us poor people in distress, give us some clothes to wear, and give us some food to satisfy our hunger."
