On the evening of the fourth day after leaving Eden Village, Li Mengxi and his party checked again and again and felt that they should have found the location marked on the map. However, there is nothing but the sand.

"Is it really here!" Surrounding Li Mengxi, who was holding a map in his hand, Xun Hui asked. The wind was a little strong tonight, and her voice had to be raised a lot.

"This map is very accurate, we shouldn't be wrong if we follow it!" Li Mengxi looked at the map again and raised his voice and replied.

"Maybe there's some mechanism, and according to the copy map, we're looking for an underground labyrinth!" Hephaestus suggested loudly.

It was at this moment that Léon Friedrich grasped the slightest question and exclaimed, "How can you be sure that this map is accurate!"

"Yesterday, I measured it, and the distance on this map is proportional to the actual distance, and the outline of the terrain matches the ......"

"You're so stupid!"

"Hey, what did you say all of a sudden!" Hinata immediately cried out with some dissatisfaction.

"No, Nayin, Leon is right, I'm so stupid!" Li Mengxi said through gritted teeth as he stared at the map in his hand with resentment.

"What's going on?"

At this time, others also reacted.

"How can this be?" Xun Hui also exclaimed.

"What the hell is going on!" said Hinata, a little angry.

"Miss Hinata!" Hephaestus finally explained to her, "Think about it, which map has been provided by the system so far that it is so accurate? It can only be hand-drawn to such an extent! No matter where Paliusis got this map, it is not the same as the copy strategy we have got!"

"Then weren't we deceived by him!"

"That's right!" Xun Hui also said hatefully, "But what did he do by tricking us here? With the speed of the sand shark, we can rush back to the village in a day and a half." ”

"What?" the wind was getting louder and louder, and Hinata Nain couldn't hear what Xun Hui said clearly.

"I said, what did he do by tricking us here!"

Listening to Xun Hui's roar that couldn't be broken, Li Mengxi suddenly realized something. He jerked his head and looked around.

Before I knew it, all the grains of sand in this area flew up and swirled up in the air.

"He's for this, Sharon Roll!"

......

Recently, Barrett, who has often been doing combat training by herself, also did not return home until the evening today. Along the way, she felt that the village was a little strange today.

So she walked into the house, and saw that her parents had prepared their meal and sat at the square table in the foyer waiting, and Barrett sat down nearby as she greeted.

"Daddy, haven't the guards come back yet?" she asked.

"Today is the first time to do field training, and it's normal that there are a lot of things that don't go well, probably because of this, it's late. Chief Esis explained.

"That's right. Barrett's heart was still very uneasy as she responded.

Two days ago, Paliusis made a public apology, and these days he has visited many people in the village with gifts. Thanks to this, now the attitude of the villagers towards him has eased somewhat.

This should have been a good thing, but in Barrett's eyes, she became more and more uneasy. Because, this transformation is too fast, too abnormal. However, even if I asked my father about this anxiety as I had just done, I would only get an optimistic answer.

I hope I've thought about it too much.

After saying something in her heart, Barrett focused her attention on dinner.

Meanwhile, behind a low sand dune quite far from the village, the late returning guards were lining up to watch the captain of the guard, Paliusis, who stood on the dune.

Rausis stood behind his father, with a complicated expression, and he knew that tonight was what his father called the day of "revolt."

"My loyal soldiers!" said Palyus, who had been brewing for a long time, "you have heard enough of the rumors that have been going on in the village. I ask you, am I really as heinous as they say!"

"No!"

"The captain of the guard is just worried about the village!"

"Yes, we guards who have been following you know it very well!"

"You are not guilty!"

"Then everyone, can you resist for the sake of justice, for my sake?" said Paliusis, and the clamoring guards fell silent, and confusion was written on everyone's face. "For my sake, to take the village?"

What's going on?

For a while, everyone felt a little overwhelmed.

"Guard, Captain of the Guard?"

"What does it mean to take the village?"

"We're definitely on your side, but, even so, taking the village or something is a bit too much, right?"

Listening to the guards' objections, Rausis's heart tensed. Sure enough, the guards would not approve of such a thing as swords against the villagers.

"Alas!" said Paliusis, too, with a sigh, "you are like them." Forget it, that's why this thing is needed. ”

The words were closed, and he held up his left palm. In the palm of his hand, there is a delicate small incense burner, pitch black and inlaid with golden skull decorations, which looks full of eerie smell.

Just when everyone's eyes were attracted to this thing, puffs of black smoke came out of the hole. They hovered in the air for a while, and then suddenly they unexpectedly shot at the guards under the dunes.

As streaks of black smoke invaded their bodies, the guards fell to the ground one by one, revealing unbelievable expressions of pain and letting out a miserable wail, their bodies arching like steamed prawns.

"Father!" exclaimed Rausis, in horror as he stared at everyone, "what the hell is this......"

"This?" said Palius, smirking as he gazed at the strange incense burner in his palm, "This is one of the items left behind by the tyrant who once ruled the desert, the Dead King's Incense." It dwells the souls of three hundred faithful servants of the Dead King, who will be absolutely loyal to the bearer of the incense burner, the one who gave them a shell. ”

"Smack!"

Explosions erupted from the bodies of those who had stopped wailing, and the mutation began.

The guards' bodies gradually swelled, and their skin could not withstand the changes inside and cracked and peeled off, revealing patches of pitch-black fur. Their heads were elongating slightly, fangs were sticking out of their mouths, and the nails of their hands and feet were replaced by sharp claws.

"Whew!"

Finally, with a howl, the first guard to complete the mutation stood up, and there was no trace of humanity left.

The beast's limbs, rickety torso, and dark fur together form a giant-like body more than two meters tall, with the head of a "sand fox wolf" on top.

This human-wolf monster is called "Anubis, the loyal servant of the Dead King".

First the first, then the second, then the third, the fourth...... The hundred-strong guards had all been turned into an army of monsters. They discarded the weapons that belonged to humans, and used the yellow sand at their feet as materials to condense hideous weapons such as scimitars, spears, and moonblades.

Immediately, one by one, they raised their heads and stared at their master, Palius, with blood-red eyes.

On the top of the low knoll, Palyusis looked at his new army and hooked the corners of his mouth with satisfaction, and then pointed in the direction of the village behind him with a wave of his hand.

"Take that village!"

"Whew!"

The bloodthirsty nature boiled over the commander-in-chief's orders, and Anubis's army let out an earth-shattering roar of excitement. Immediately, one by one, they scrambled to run, leap past the father and son of Paliusis, and rushed towards the village of Eden.

Soon after.

Under the cold moon, the ominous ominous man broke the silence of the village from the south.

"Boom!"

The Moonblade Halberd slashed head-to-head, smashing the door and the nearby wall to pieces.

The girl who was sewing clothes in the hall could not react to what was going on when she was grabbed by Anubis's claws.

The girl's father, a craftsman, rushed out of the back room, saw what he saw, picked up a hammer and smashed it at the monster's jackal head.

"Bang!" followed a muffled sound, and Anubis's head twisted to the side with the force of the impact.

It seemed like a heavy blow, but it didn't do much.

Anubis shook his somewhat drowsy head, then slowly turned his head to look at the man who dared to attack him. Then, without mercy, it swept through with a halberd.

The girl's father was instantly cut in two, and his body smashed through the wall and flew down into the street.

Outside this house, at the southern end of the village, a large number of Anubis broke into the homes of the villagers and hunted for prey. And then, as this one is now clamoring for......

"Kill everyone who dares to resist!"

The mighty Anubis took up a third of the village with little effort. However, the villagers are not exactly lambs to the slaughter.

Although the men are not full-time warriors, most of them stand up to the monsters that endanger their families. Craftsmen wield hammers and awls, while hunters wield bows and knives.

Thanks to their hard work, many old and weak women and children were able to flee to the north and bring the news with them.

Although the village chief of Isis makes decisions most of the time based on the results of their deliberations, this village chief is not in vain!

In this crisis situation, he immediately made appropriate arrangements independently. The elderly, the weak, the women and the children took refuge in the reservoir in the northeast, while the men went to the guards' arsenal to get regular weapons and organized a defense with the hunters as the center.

As a result, the Anubis continued their offensive north for a while and were met not with scattered and chaotic villagers, but with an organized and combative defensive line.

Although Anubis is many times stronger than the villagers individually, the number of villagers is several times greater than that of Anubis. For a time, the villagers, although unable to defeat the Anubis army, barely managed to stop their attack.

However, it was at this time that the captain of the guard, Paliusis, who had been walking slowly, finally arrived in the village.
