"I don't like to talk nonsense, Rebecc."

Sitting on a stone bench, Ron re-lit his cigar and exhaled white smoke: "Tell me everything you know." ”

"Don't think!"

Rebecc's voice was a bit urn-like, and his head was facing the ground, causing him to fill his mouth with a mouthful of grit.

"Phew...... Bah! ”

He turned his head with difficulty, revealing a sideways face, his reddened eyes fixed on Ron, his teeth sharp as beasts.

Combined with the wrinkled, shriveled old face, like a dried corpse crawling out of hell, it is fierce and terrifying.

"Ignorant mortals! You have no idea what's inside! ”

"When my Lord comes, you heretics will repent of your sins in the River Styx!"

"Oh......"

Rebecc's burning oath was met with Ron's nonchalant response. The latter looked back and asked.

"Is Rebek a believer in any sect?"

"This ...... I'm sorry, sir. ”

The leader of the excavation team thought for a moment and shook his head: "Although Mr. Rebeke has been living in Alabastan for more than ten years, he is dedicated to his studies and rarely shows up, so we locals know very little about him. ”

Seeing Ron's disappointed look, the captain immediately added.

"But I know some clues that should have something to do with him becoming like this."

"Oh? Let's hear it. ”

Ron came to his senses, put his foot on Rebeck's head instead, and motioned for the captain to continue.

"Yes! It's like this......"

The squad leader began to tell.

Desert no-man's land is always full of mystery stories.

Its invincibility has given rise to as many legends as the stars of the desert, and even the Nephilutali family, who have ruled the place for hundreds of years, dare not say they know every sand dune.

The story of the Squad Leader is a legend about the Desert River Styx.

Legend has it that there is a river Styx beneath the desert, and the souls of the dead will sink into the sea of sand and cross the river to the land of the dead.

Hundreds of years ago, there was a small town that was eroded by yellow sand, a large number of livestock were flooded by the yellow sand, wells dried up, and people could not survive.

Looking at the shattered town, the mayor of the town decides to move and lead the group in search of a new home.

This kind of thing is common in the desert kingdom of Alabastan.

It's happening even now.

Because deserts are not always static.

Like the sea, it has its ebb and flow.

The closer you get to no man's land, the more unpredictable the environment becomes.

When the yellow sand began to eat away at the living space, migration became the only hope for people to survive.

However, I don't know if it was bad luck or something else, the mayor led the inhabitants for ten days in a row, and there was not a single oasis recorded on the map.

On this day, the water was in an emergency, and the elderly and children with weak constitutions were dying, and the mayor of the town was very distressed in the face of the residents' eyes asking for help.

At night, everyone gathered together to rest, and suddenly someone outside exclaimed.

"It's the river! There's water! ”

"It's such a big river, we can save it!"

Boom la la ......!

At the same time, the sound of rushing water was earth-shattering, waking up the men, women and children in the camp.

The mayor led the people to the sand dunes, looking at the black python that was rushing and tumbling in front of him, and lost his ability to speak.

He couldn't understand why a river had suddenly appeared here, they were located so many kilometers from the coast that even the sea could not flow here, and they would be swallowed up by the desert on the way.

But this did not hinder the joy in everyone's hearts, and they took drinking utensils and ran to the river to get water.

This night, everyone had a rare good night's sleep.

The next day, when the mayor got up, he ran to the sand dunes, looked at the river that still existed, and he was overjoyed and announced that he would build a new home here.

No matter how rivers appeared, in the desert they live on water, and no living thing can survive without water.

Now that there is a freshwater river by his side, a fool will change places.

The reconstruction is going well, and with water, there is life. Watching the dying residents slowly recover, the livestock were full of energy, and the mayor of the town breathed a sigh of relief.

But.

Recently.

On that day, someone woke up and found that the blood vessels under the skin had become very dark, black like ink interspersed between the skin, and he was immediately startled and hurried to the doctor for treatment.

However, the doctor didn't have much to do about it, and after asking some questions to make sure he was not in any shape, he reported the matter to the mayor.

In the face of this strange disease, everyone is at a loss.

But fortunately, the strange disease only changed the color of the blood, and did not have a bad effect on the body, and everyone gradually relaxed.

Until one day......

During the night, the mayor had just fallen asleep when he suddenly heard a roar that did not look like a human outside. The town was in chaos, filled with screams and strange "smack~sss

When the mayor stepped out, he found a group of black monsters chasing the residents.

They have an upright human-like posture, but their eyes are red, their bodies are covered in a viscous black liquid, and their palms are razor.

After trying his best to kill a monster, the mayor was horrified to find that when the slime faded, it was a normal human corpse exposed!

And he knew the man.

It's the blacksmith in town!

The sword that hacked the "monster" to death was still from the blacksmith's hand.

Monsters become human!

This earth-shattering news caught everyone by surprise, and everyone was suspicious and suspicious of each other, for fear that their companions would turn into those terrible monsters in the next moment.

What happened next in the town no one knows.

Anyway, in the end, only a few survivors escaped and brought the news out, giving the desert such a legend about the River Styx.

"I've heard this story too!"

A young man in the excavation team raised his hand and said: "When I was a child, my mother used to lull me to sleep with this story, telling me that those people were actually dead long ago, and the reason why they didn't find the oasis was because they were in the realm of the dead, not the real world at all. ”

Ron: "......"

Your mother is a talent!

It's a horror story, isn't it?

However, this intention also has a moral meaning, warning people that although the water source in the desert is important, it should not be drunk freely.

The townspeople in the story turn into monsters, apparently because they drink water from the big river that suddenly appears.

This is also a very important enlightenment education for children.

"That's right, Styx!"

At this time, Rebec suddenly raised his head with reverence: "The great Lord of the Styx, the master of the realm of the undead!" Show your power and take these blasphemers away! ”

“……”

There was silence all around, only the sound of everyone's breathing echoed in the quiet underground space.

After a few seconds......

Boom!

The violent shaking startled everyone, and the workers looked back at Rebec, who had been re-stepped on the ground by Ron, and the corners of their mouths twitched wildly.

Belch......

I almost forgot that the scariest guy here now is "Dragon" Ron!!

"Lord of the Styx!"

"If it's that awesome, there's a world government?!"

"Have the temper to rule the world, idiot!"

Ron spat out white smoke in disdain and stomped on Rebek's head a few times, completely blocking his mouth.

All unmanifested gods are paper tigers!

The "Lord of the Styx" in Rebecc's mouth has at most a special ability that turns people into monsters, maybe some strange parasitic virus.

And Ron believes in his fists more than the "gods" that are exaggerated by legends.

If there really is any Lord of the Styx, Ron wants to fight him twice to see if his awakened strength is really at the top of the world.

Hearing Ron's speech, the excavation team was dumbfounded.

All right.

Seemingly...... That's really true.

There are a lot of living legends in this world, how can you have a half-dime relationship with the Lord of Styx.
