"The village doesn't look like it's human." Not far from the village, Fang Yu suddenly stopped, he looked at the silent village, a low wall stretched in front of them, and opened his mouth to speak.

"yes, we weren't here like this before, it's a little weird." A silver-colored Vislan Ranger climbed over the wall with one hand, took a few steps forward, and suddenly lowered his head and let out a ghostly cry: "What the hell is this!" ”

The crowd followed his gaze to his feet, where the gray earth was covered with a thick layer of black smoke, flowing like water streaks that reached up to his ankles, and the smoke and dust spread in the distance, in the direction of the Andert village.

Akane's face changed, and she rushed over the low wall, and she took a few steps forward into the village, and suddenly froze in place as if she was enchanted.

When everyone saw her expression, they had a faint uneasy premonition in their hearts, and they all climbed over the wall and followed. Fang Plover walked last, behind the box and Tenarek, after he crossed the wall alone, he deliberately lowered his head and raised his foot in the black smoke, and the smoke and dust dissipated a little sticky, as if a corrupt hand was grasping his foot and neck.

But in the blink of an eye, the illusion disappeared, and he could move forward normally, but it took a little more effort to take each step.

He looked up, and the other human abilities were far superior to him, and this slight difference didn't seem to feel anything unusual, only a few Divine Officers Electors stayed behind, and they glanced at each other a little strangely.

There were whispers of disbelief from the people in front.

"How so!?"

"Orient!"

"Miss Dan Loni!"

Akane walked pale to the center of the village, where under the red-pleated umbrella mushroom tree lay a lifeless nezumi corpse, her chubby body in a human-style gray dress, looking a little clumsy, but her wide black eyes stared at the sky indifferently, hollow and silent, but it made people laugh.

Fang Plover parted the crowd in the back and got closer, making way for him and Sophie to see the corpse. Sophie covered her mouth and widened her eyes in disbelief at what she was seeing.

Fang Yu half-crouched down and opened the female rat-man's mouth with her hand, revealing her inner front teeth and pulling out her slimy tongue. There was a commotion among the people of Silver Vislan, and the ranger seemed to want to come up and stop him, but was stopped by several clerics.

"Don't interfere with him." They whispered a reminder.

"What are you doing!" Sophie also shouted a little uncomfortably, but suddenly, she saw a stitch of black smoke coming out of the nostrils and mouth of the female rat man.

Fang Yu reacted quickly and fanned it with his hand, and the black smoke immediately dissipated, and he only looked at this scene with a slight frown.

Sophie was stunned when she saw this scene, and gradually regained the calm that Her Royal Highness Princess Vislan should have, and she apologized to Fang Yuan: "I'm sorry, I was a little ...... just now"

"It's okay," Fang Yu said lightly, "I understand, who is she?" ”

"Her name is Dan Loni," Sophie took a deep breath, "I was fine when I met her three years ago, she invited me to drink the glow-in-the-dark wine that she brewed herself, and I—I gave her this dress in return...... I didn't expect her to be still wearing it, she must have loved it, she must have loved it......"

She covered her mouth, blinked her already red eyes, tears glistened, and she couldn't say anything more.

"I'm sorry," Fang Yu whispered, but he could understand the feelings, "But I must tell you that she was alive not long ago. ”

He gently lifted Miss Nezumi's slender hand, which hung limply, and then opened her eyelids with his other hand, and there was not a trace of starlight in her dark pupils. Parker let out an 'ah' in the back and took a step back, nearly hitting the box.

Fang Yu didn't look back, and asked, "Isn't it familiar?" ”

"Exactly like Miss Attila's brother!" Parker said in a trembling voice, his upper and lower teeth fighting, looking terrified: "When we saw his corpse from the hands of the Black Goat Chamber of Commerce, it was also like this, his eyes were black, like two holes!" ”

"That's it......"

"Starlight is gone......" Sophie resisted to make herself look too weak: "How can this be, has this happened many times in a short period of time, why didn't they leave, who is so cruel!?" ”

"I'm afraid not," Fang replied, muttering, "It's exactly like Dorifin—"

"Dorifin?"

Fang Yu didn't answer the question, he stood up and looked at the others, and calmly ordered, "Go and check this village, see where the others are, and if anyone is still alive." ”

The people in Silver Vislan were stunned for a moment, they looked at Fang Yuan, who suddenly changed their appearance, and felt that there seemed to be an invisible pressure emanating from each other's body, which was completely different from what they felt before. They looked at each other, but at last nodded slightly in obedience, and then turned and dispersed—

Miss Dan Loni had another corpse beside her, a male nezumi named Otean, whom the Plover had flipped over and mortally wounded him in the back, a narrow sword wound.

Miss Dan Loni was the same, with the same sword wound in her heart.

He gently helped the two 'people' up and leaned against the fungus tree, covered them with his hands, and covered their eyes, Akane and Sophie watched him silently on the side, somehow, the two felt that the image of the young man was much more stable.

"Eddard ......" Sophie seemed to suddenly understand something: "The adventure group you were in before was called the Dawn Star, right?" ”

Fang Yu understood what she wanted to say, but only smiled at her gently: "Feel better now?" ”

Sophie was stunned, her heart was slightly warm, and she nodded to him.

"And what do you think now?" He asked again.

"I have to avenge them—" she replied.

"Revenge is inevitable, everyone has their own debts to pay," but Fang Yu seemed very indifferent: "But don't let hatred blind our eyes, let it see more of the truth, listen to the details - look at Miss Dan Loni, the people who killed them are not far away." ”

Sophie was shocked, and couldn't help but raise her hand and rub her eyebrows, she has always been very calm, and the guild also asks of her. In the face of many dangers, she always tries her best to make herself calm, but when the real thing comes, she finds that she is not as good as a big boy she has only met once.

But this little princess of Silver Vislan will never understand what kind of experience has shaped him today.

The boy who had been under Miss Scarpe's wing was long gone.

But she was still a little distracted: "What should we do?" ”

"Look again." Fang Yuan looked ahead, the tallest building in the village, he got up and walked in that direction, and said to the others, "Follow me." ”

Tenaric followed the box, and Akane, after getting Sophie's consent, also walked up with a halberd in hand, and only Parker hesitated at the end before he caught up with a cower. Fang Ou entered the building with a short body, and was greeted by a gray-black human face, covered with corpse spots, looking at him with empty eyes, his mouth wide open, and he was about to pounce.

Fang Yu was startled, but actually calmed down and realized that it was the corpse of an adventurer.

It was only when he had just calmed down that the corpse suddenly giggled and pulled himself out inch by inch from the spear that had pinned him to the ground, and at the same time reached out to Fang Yuan's face and hugged it. Fang Yu reached for his three-style lion handcuff, but a sword light had already passed over his shoulder and pierced into the throat of the undead.

The latter fell backwards, tearing apart the upper and lower parts of his body, and fell to the ground like dust and shattered into several pieces.

Fang Yu didn't need to look back, he knew that it was the sword of the box.

"It's an adventurer passing through here," Sophie looked at the corpse's black hole in the eyes, and her tone was a little unnatural: "This should be the Elector, but why is there no starlight, what about the Caller system?" ”

In addition to this corpse, there were three other corpses in the house, the dwarven crossbowman died next to the wooden frame, his head split by a sharp blade, and Miss Nightingale fell on her back in the black smoke in the center of the room.

The healer's death was similar to that of Miss Nezumi outside, and when he turned to flee, he took a sword in his vest and fell not far from Miss Nightingale.

Fang Yu silently walked past the corpses of the three people, and the box was behind one person and one sword, sending the corpses of these people to rest in peace.

In the middle of the room, at the end of the carpet was a mushroom throne, and there was a heavy wheezing sound from it, and an old nezumi was staggering to its feet, red in his eyes, looking at the five of them with resentment.

It staggered forward, shouting hoarsely, "Die, human! You ruined everything! ”

"Patriarch Neander!" Sophie let out a low cry.

The rat-man's chest was splitting open, and from it came a blue soul fire that didn't look like a humanoid. The box took a step forward and drew its sword at it, but Neander waved his staff, and an invisible force hit like a storm, knocking the secondary two boy out of the air.

Parker, who was hiding behind, couldn't help but whistle when he saw this, the other party could be regarded as meeting a colleague, and this mouse was also a power magician before his death.

The rat-man pointed the head of the staff in his hand at the Owl again, but the Owl took a step forward and grabbed the head of the staff, raised the handcuff with his right hand and pulled away the hammer, and a flame erupted, and the Rat-Man was shot in the chest and flew out directly backwards and crashed back into the throne.

His right hand was also broken, and he pressed the black smoke hole in his chest with his remaining left hand, and the red light in his eyes went out, and he screamed hoarsely.

But the screams eventually fell low.

Finally, it turned into a few low moans: "Beware of the ...... of the dead"

"Beware of the Crows......"

"Be careful...... The woman ......"

"Southern ......"

"They went to the south......"

Then he tilted his head and gradually lost his last breath.

Fang Yu raised the gun in his hand for a long time, and at the same time threw away the wooden staff in his left hand, and the wooden stick bones cut from the roots of the tree rolled into the darkness.

Sophie didn't speak for a long time, and the tall lizardman walked past the two of them and dropped a sentence: "It's dead, don't believe the voice of the dead, there's something underground, I hear whispers in the darkness, maybe someone is trying to bewitch us." ”

"But ......"

"What is the South?" Fang Yu stopped looking at the corpses, and suddenly asked.

"Styx," Sophie reflexed, whispering, "there is a crossing, and that river flows through the deepest part of Anderter's underground, and some say it goes straight to the center of the earth, but no one has ever confirmed it. ”

Fang Yu suddenly remembered a legend.

The Nezumen, the Mardalan Molemen, and the Orpheum Rabbits (not mammals, but a branch of the Orpheum Demons) form a rodent alliance that spreads across the land of Aitalia, and they worship the geocentric myth that all of Aitalia's subterranean rivers flow deep into the depths of the earth, where the souls of the mountains rest.

The land of the dead.

Therefore, the name Styx is actually a very common name for the nezumi, and any river near the nezumi village may be called the Styx by them.

The lizardman prince half-knelt down in front of the rat-man's throne to take a closer look at the latter's death, and the Neander patriarch clenched his left fist as if holding something, and he reached out and broke it open, and took it down, glancing at it with its scorched vertical pupils.

"Let's go there," Fang said, "do you know the way there?" ”

Sophie nodded.

The others had already turned and walked out of the house.

Tenaric straightened up as well, and walked towards the Owl, shoving something into his hand as he passed him.

Fang Yu was slightly stunned, and when he looked back, the lizardman prince didn't say a word, leaving him with only a back. He then looked down at what he was holding, a brooch, in the shape of a lily, shining in the palm of his hand.

There is an ancient dwarven script on it, and the inscribed proverbs are like a quiet time, like water flowing:

'Time passes like water, and wisdom grows day by day—'

Fang Yuan's heart tightened, and he slightly felt that it was a little dazzling.

He pondered for a moment, and carefully put the brooch away.

Sophie watched him move and asked, "Do you know this brooch?" It doesn't look like a nezumi thing, and I'd like to see it somewhere. ”

Fang Yu nodded, but did not answer more.

The others who had entered the village to search also returned one after another, bringing back bad news from all over the place, almost no one in the village survived, and the corpses were one after another, as if they had been attacked suddenly, without warning.

Snoven, the dwarf, was found dead in his bar, having been stabbed through the heart with a dagger and lying on the bar, bleeding profusely.

The finder brought back the dagger, but it was plain and there were no clues on it.

But Sophie told the man to turn the dagger, and then said through gritted teeth, "It was the Jeffrey Redcoats who did it." ”

"But it's just an ordinary dagger." Fang Yu asked.

"The Jeffrey Redcoats can't hide it from me," Sophie replied word for word, "the tip of the dagger is badly worn, but there is no notch on the surface, and it is a spare dagger, which is usually used for throwing." ”

"Only the Nightingale of the Jeffrey Redcoats likes to do this, because their main dagger is generally unionized and will certainly not remain on the field."

Of course, it doesn't have to be absolute.

But here, she knew it was a big deal.

"Ed, help me catch up with them." She said to Fang Ou, her tone a little pleading.

Fang Yu nodded, but after a little thought, he suddenly stopped and asked another question:

"Why are the Jeffrey Redcoats ahead of us?"

Sophie was stunned.

Contrary to what Fang Ou expected, the River Styx to the south of the Anderter village is not an ordinary underground river.

Sophie led the group through a complex of caves with rugged terrain before arriving at the place. When Fang Yu saw the mighty underground river rushing forward, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment—it was a fluorescent green underground river, emerald green was the color of the glowing algae in the river, and the green light reflected the strange underground caves in the distance, the spectacular stone stalactites and the symbiotic underground flora.

It has a wide river, a slow current, and a dreamy blue mist on the river, reflecting the green water, with a clear blue, really like the legendary fog that permeates the land of the dead, and a lonely ferry, standing in this fog.

The trestle stretches into the river, and a fog lamp hangs next to it, which is not extinguished all year round.

This place is so similar to the legendary real Styx that even Fang Plover couldn't help but be stunned before he realized that the ferry was not built by the nezumi, but in the style of the ancient Sinsas snake people.

Seeing this scene, he couldn't help but wonder in his heart if this ferry port had anything to do with the black holy city on the original ground.

Someone in the team suddenly screamed.

Fang Ou raised his head, only to see that in the fog, there was something flowing down from the river upstream, but when he looked closely, he found that it was a swollen corpse soaked in water, it was a human before, with a pale complexion, staring at the people on the river bank with a protruding black gaze.

Drift down slowly.

Then more floating corpses appeared, and from the upstream flowed, a shy and heavy, bulging belly, and under the translucent skin, it seemed that green intestines could still be seen, swimming like worms.

It's disgusting.

Several of the girls in Silver Vislan couldn't help but retch with disgust when they saw this scene, and the others also let out gags as they led.

Fang Yu also had some pantothenic acid in his stomach, and he couldn't help but ask Sophie: "Is this what this river looks like......?" ”

Sophie was slightly better off the scene, but she shook her head palely: "I've never seen a scene like this, what the hell is going on down here......" But suddenly, she stopped.

Everyone was watching as the underground river suddenly became dim, the green light gradually disappeared, and a layer of heavy black appeared under the river, like mud, and the spreading black gradually soaked down from the upstream.

Until the whole river is polluted.

Fang Yu stared farther away, a golden clockwork fairy in his hand flew out, and he clearly saw that in the mist, a behemoth was breaking through the mist.

It was a boat—

The high bow of the ship is a hideous dragon.

The slender hull of the ship is nailed to a round shield painted with skeletons and spiders.

The sail was open on one side, and it looked dilapidated in the mist.

And suddenly, there was a distant soft song in the mist, like ghosts, whispering the song of the dead—

"Yo-hea, yo-he, the ancient ship road-"

"The Ancient Ship Path, to the Mist of Death......"
