Listening to Chucks's words, there was a loud bang in my brain, and I finally understood what Chucks was doing, it turned out that he wanted to help me sit on the throne of the lord of the lost city, but ...... Isn't that too despicable, a little too shameless?
However, as soon as the thought arose, I remembered what had happened that night, and when I thought I was going to die, I had sworn that if I ...... If there is another life, I swear! No matter what means I use, I will become the most powerful person, despicable or shameless, I will let all people live according to my laws, I am the Tao! I am the reason!
Now, I don't have to die, I don't have to go to the next life to fulfill this vow, and besides, when I left Dream City, I swore that one day, I would come back, as a friend who could be friends with Liz!
Thinking of this, I made a decision suddenly, but I'm still not ready to lie, I should still talk about integrity, if I don't even talk about credit, is it still a person?
I don't lie, but I must also sit on the throne of the lord of this lost city, for my ideals, for my oath, in the face of such an opportunity, I must go all out!
Slowly raising my head, I looked at Situka deeply, and for a long time, I said in a low voice: "From now on, you have to remember for me, I am me, the old city lord is the old city lord, and there is no relationship between the two of us!"
Speaking of this, I raised the chain pendant in my hand and said strongly: "Now, the token of the city lord is in my hand, I am the city lord of the lost city, as for other issues, I don't need to explain it to anyone!"
Hearing my words, Chucks couldn't help but look at me anxiously, opened his mouth, and was about to speak, but I raised his hand to stop him, being a person can be despicable, shameless, and even lewd, but you can't deceive people, this is my guideline!
Just when Chacks stomped his feet anxiously, to his surprise, Situka became serious violently, and said: "Don't worry, city lord, from now on, there is only one city lord in the lost city, and you are our city lord, and we will obey your life!"
After a pause, Situka showed an excited look and said excitedly: "The old city lord has really found a bold successor as he said, and in this way, there is finally hope for the lost city!"
Seeing that Situka recognized me, I couldn't wait to pull Situka to the side of the carriage, lifted the animal skin and straw on the carriage, pointed at Xiaoqiang and said, "Situka, you can help me see, is there a way to cure him?"
Situka frowned and looked at Xiaoqiang, for a long time...... Situka was surprised: "Where did you find such a big scorpion, it's really too exaggerated, I never thought that there was such a big scorpion in this world, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it if I killed me!"
Anxiously frowning, I didn't urge anxiously: "Don't say it's useless, tell me quickly, do you have a way to heal Xiaoqiang's injuries!
Listening to my words, Situka shook his head helplessly and said, "I'm sorry, I can't cure him, I'm just a beast master, and I won't treat injured phantom beasts!"
Oh, my God...... How so!
Listening to Situka's words, I couldn't help but despair, just when I was in the dust, Situka continued: "But you don't have to worry, there is a phantom beast master in the maze who specializes in treating phantom beasts, as long as he is transported to the maze, he will be saved!"
I didn't care about blaming Stuka for panting for words, I couldn't wait to say: "Okay, let's hurry up, you will lead the way, we will rush back to the lost city as soon as possible, time waits for no one!"
All right!
Stuka didn't argue any further, and after resolutely answering the order, he turned around and strode ahead to lead the way, while Chucks and I stepped into the carriage and followed behind Stuka from a distance!
After leaving Tucker Town and continuing to walk for two hours, we finally reached the edge of the misty swamp, and I couldn't help but marvel at the large wetland...... This is the swamp!
The so-called swamp is not as eerie as I imagined, on the surface, it is a verdant green meadow, the grass is full of pure water, it looks clear and lovely, how can there be a trace of horror.
Seeing me staring at the swamp**, Situka dutifully explained: "City Lord, don't be fooled by the illusion of the swamp, it looks like a meadow on the surface, but in fact...... Underneath the turf, there is dozens of meters, or even hundreds of meters of deep silt, once you get into it, the gods can't save you!
As he spoke, Stuka found a stone the size of a head and threw it at the grass in the distance, only to hear a thud, and half of the stone smashed into the soft grass, leaving only half above the surface!
Under our watchful eye, the stone sank slowly little by little, and it only took about a dozen seconds for the whole stone to completely disappear to the ground!
Looking at the green meadow in front of me in shock, I couldn't help but subconsciously open my mouth wide, this meadow looks so ordinary, so beautiful, but I didn't expect that there was such a murderous motive hidden!
Looking at Stuka in disbelief, I said in horror, "It's so dangerous here, so how do you tell where is the swamp sauce jar and where is the path for people to pass?"
Hearing my words, Situka couldn't help but smile bitterly, shook his head, and said, "In fact, there is no road from here to the Lost City, so how can we distinguish the roads?"
Kindness?
Frowning in confusion, I looked up and down at Situka, puzzled, "If there is no pathway, then how did you get here......?" Can you fly?"
Listening to my words, Situka smiled slightly, and then ...... He closed his eyes slightly, quietly facing the swamp, and stood there motionless!
Looking at Situka in confusion, and was about to ask, when he suddenly ...... There was a commotion in the swamp...... Crash...... When I looked at it in amazement, I saw a waterline, which was rushing in our direction!
Roar!
Under my gaze, in a huge roar, a huge lizard more than ten meters long jumped up from the swamp, and landed in front of us with a bang, staring at us with a pair of big green eyes!
Oh no!
Seeing this big guy, I took more than a dozen steps back, and my right hand quickly rested on the hilt of the sword, and at the same time, Chux also leaped back, and pulled out the dagger at his waist with lightning in both hands, ready to fight at any time!
At this moment, Situka opened his eyes, turned his head with a smile, and was about to say something with a smile, but suddenly said with a wry smile: "What are you doing here......?" Are you going to kill my phantom beast?"
Your phantom beast!
Listening to Stuka's words, Chux seemed to think of something, and slowly straightened up, looking thoughtfully at the huge lizard......
Nodding slightly, Stuka walked slowly to the huge lizard, which was one and a half meters high, caressed the lizard's rough and hard skin, turned to me, and said, "Didn't you ask me how I got here? Now I can tell you that I came here on his own!"
After a pause, Stuka continued to explain, "His name is the Swamp Monitor Lizard! He is the fastest moving creature in the swamp, and the most powerful being in the swamp, the swamp is their world, and they are the king of the swamp!"
Looking at the huge lizard standing obediently beside Situka in horror, combined with Chax's previous description, I roughly understood, this huge lizard may be the phantom beast that Chucks said before, almost everyone in the lost city has their own pets, but ...... They don't call their pets pets, they call them phantom beasts!
