"I don't like talking nonsense, Rebek."

Sitting on the stone bench, Ron reignited his cigar and exhaled white smoke: "Tell me everything you know."

"Don't think about it!"

Rebek's voice seemed a little sullen, and his head was facing the ground causing him to put a mouthful of grit into his mouth.

"Bah...Bah!"

He turned his head hard, showing his side face, his red eyes fixed on Ron, his teeth sharp like wild animals.

With that wrinkled, shriveled old face, like a corpse crawling out of hell, it is fierce and frightening.

"Ignorant mortal! You don't even know what's in it!"

"When my lord comes, you heretics will confess your sins in the Styx!"

"Oh……"

Rebecq swears and swears scorchingly, but Ron responds casually.The latter turned around and asked after listening.

"Is Ribek a believer in any sect?"

"This... sorry sir."

The captain of the excavation team thought for a moment and shook his head: "Although Mr. Rebeck has settled in Alabastan for more than ten years, he is devoted to studying knowledge and rarely shows up, so our locals don't know much about him."

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

"But I know some clues that should be related to how he became like this."

"Oh? Come and listen."

Ron came to his spirits, changed his foot and stepped on Rebeck's head, beckoning the captain to continue.

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

The team leader began to tell.

Mystery stories are always indispensable in no man's land in the desert.

Its unconquerability has created a legend that there are as many stars in the desert, and even the Nafirutali family who has ruled here for hundreds of years dare not say that they know every sand dune.

The story of the team leader is about the legend of the desert Styx.

Legend has it that there is a Styx underground in the desert, and the souls of the dead will sink into the sand sea, cross the Styx, and go to the kingdom of the undead.

Hundreds of years ago, a small town was eroded by yellow sand. Large numbers of livestock were flooded by yellow sand. The wells dried up and the people had trouble living.

Looking at the shattered town, the town mayor decided to move and lead everyone to find a new home.

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

Even now it happens from time to time.

Because deserts are not always static.

Like the sea, it has ebb and flow.

The closer you are to no man’s land, the more unpredictable the environment there.

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

However, I don't know if it was bad luck or something. The mayor led the residents to walk for ten days, and none of the oasis recorded on the map was seen.

This day, the water is in a hurry, and the weaker elderly and children are dying. Faced with the eyes of the residents asking for help, the mayor is very painful.

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

"It's the river! There is water!"

"What a big river, we can save it!"

Wow...!

At the same time, the sound of rushing water shook the sky and awakened the men, women and children in the camp.

The mayor led people to the sand dunes and looked at the black giant python that was tumbling and agitated. He lost his language ability.

He didn't understand why a river suddenly appeared here. Their location was unknown how many kilometers away from the coast. Even the sea could not flow here, and they would be swallowed by the desert half way.

But this did not hinder the joy of everyone, holding drinking utensils, ran to the river to fetch water.

It's rare for everyone to have a good night's sleep this night.

On the second day, the mayor immediately ran to the sand dunes after getting up, looking at the still existing river, he was ecstatic and announced that he would build a new home here.

No matter how rivers appear, they live on water in the desert, and no creatures can live without water.

Now there is a Danshui River by his side,

The reconstruction work is proceeding smoothly. With water sources, there is vitality.The mayor breathed a sigh of relief as the dying residents slowly recovered and the livestock were full of energy.

but.

Good times are not long.

On that day, when someone got up and found that the blood vessels under his skin had become very dark, and the black was interspersed in the skin like ink, he was shocked and hurried to see a doctor for treatment.

However, the doctor didn't have much to do with this. After asking some questions to make sure that his body was not abnormal, he reported the matter to the mayor.

Faced with this strange disease, everyone is at a loss.

Fortunately, the strange disease only changed the color of the blood and did not have a bad effect on the body, so everyone gradually relaxed their hearts.

Until one day...

In the night, the mayor had just fallen asleep when he suddenly heard a roar that was not human-like.The town suddenly fell into chaos, with screams and weird "chih~chih~" sounds everywhere.

When the mayor went out and took a look, he found a group of dark monsters chasing the residents.

They have an upright posture similar to humans, but their eyes are red, their bodies are covered with thick black liquid, and their palms turn into sharp blades.

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

And he knew that person.

It is the blacksmith in the town!

The sword that killed the "monster" was still made by this blacksmith.

Monsters are what people become!

This shocking news made everyone unexpected. Everyone was suspicious and guarded each other, for fear that their companions would turn into those terrifying monsters next moment.

No one knows what happened next in the town.

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

"I've heard this story too!"

A young guy in the excavation team raised his hand and said: "When I was young, my mother used this story to coax me to sleep, telling me that those people actually died early. The reason they didn't find the oasis was because they were in the realm of the dead, not the real world.

Ron: "..."

Your mother is such a talent!

Is this a horror story?

However, this deliberate also has a meaning, warning people that although the source of water in the desert is important, it cannot be drunk at will.

In the story, the residents of the small town became monsters, obviously because they drank the water from the big river that suddenly appeared.

This is also a very important enlightenment education for children.

"Yes, Styx!"

At this time, Ribek suddenly raised his head with a look of admiration: "The great Lord of Styx, the master of the kingdom of the undead! Please show your might and take away these blasphemers!"

"..."

There was silence all around, only the sound of people's breathing one after another echoed in the quiet underground space.

After a few seconds...

Boom!

The violent vibration frightened everyone. The workers looked back and looked at Rebeck, who was stepped on the ground by Ron again, and the corners of his mouth twitched wildly.

Uh……

Almost forgot, now the scariest guy here, but "Blue Dragon" Ron!!!

"The bullshit Lord of the Styx!"

"If it is so awesome, there will be world government shit?!"

"You have a temper to rule the world, idiot!"

Ron spit out white smoke in disdain, and stepped on Rebek's head a few times to completely block his mouth.

All inanimate gods are paper tigers!

The "Lord of the Styx" in Rebek's mouth has at most a special ability to turn people into monsters. Maybe it is a strange parasitic virus.

And Ron believed in his fists more than the "god" exaggerated by the legend.

If there really is a Lord of Styx, Ron would want to fight with him to see if his strength after awakening is really standing on the top of the world.

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

Ok.

It seems...that's the truth.

There are a lot of legends about living alone in this world, how can you have a relationship with the Lord of Styx?
