Banner of the Evil God

"I never thought that one day I would visit a mud monster." Looking at the gray swamp that had come into view in the distance, Sui Xiong just felt a little funny.

Yoniel is a mutated mud monster that lives in a large gray swamp. As a famous legendary monster in the Ash Forest, it has a unique appearance and a unique personality, full of "different styles".

Sui Xiong flew a little closer and saw its figure. It was a huge pool of mud, crawling in the center of the swamp. It was dark and shiny, showing a metallic luster that mud should never have, and the swamp under its body exuded a strange smell, which was neither rotten nor vicious, nor any poisonous gas, but like... hunger.

Sui Xiong had heard about Yoniel. This legendary monster was powerful and greedy, but its diet was quite strange-it did not eat any known living things, and had no interest in food, vegetables, fish and meat. The only thing it was interested in was bones.

What's even more amazing is that there are endless skeletons buried underground in the Ash Forest. So every night, a large number of skeletons will appear and attack any living creatures around them crazily.

So during the day, Yonir always lies on the ground lazily and sleeps. When it gets dark and he's hungry, he will split into several mud monsters and attack from all sides, sweeping up all the skeletons he can find and feasting on them.

Thanks to him, there is a safe area deep in the Ash Forest where no skeletons are active. There are many creatures living here, and some of the wise ones respect this huge mud monster as a patron saint, build an altar for it in the swamp where it usually rests, and purchase the bones of monsters as sacrifices.

The main source of these sacrifices is Longhou Town.

As Longhou Town, which relies on hunting monsters as its main source of income, of course there is no shortage of monster bones. The wise creatures who believe in Yonir purchased various bones for sacrifice, and finally found that the requirements of this mud monster patron saint for sacrifices are really strong and simple-the bigger the bones, the better, and the bigger it likes.

So they set their sights on those large monsters, so that the hunters in Longhou Town have developed a habit. If they hunt a large monster, even if it is a little hard and troublesome, they will take its bones back or drag it back as a whole.

To be honest, since those creatures are so poor that they have to rely on Jonil to survive, they naturally can't afford any decent wealth. But most of the hunters in Longhou Town are a group of warm and hospitable people. As long as they don't cause too much trouble to themselves, they are willing to help others.

Not only that, there are also some forces trying to help Jonil, and they give hunters some money from time to time to ask them to help those people.

Among them is Snowflake, who goes by the alias "Frost Tyrant".

So even if those Jonil believers are so poor that they have nothing and can only use wood and some not rare minerals as trading items, they can always exchange a lot of things to sustain their lives.

When gradually approaching Jonil, Sui Xiong slowly lowered his altitude to avoid arousing the hostility of the other party. But he obviously thought too much. The mud monsters in the sun lay in the almost completely frozen swamp, basking in the sun lazily, motionless, and completely ignored his arrival.

On the ground, there were several gray intelligent creatures that picked up their weapons and took alert postures.

Sui Xiong carefully looked at these creatures who believed in Yonir. They looked quite similar to humans, but their bodies were covered with gray-black dust. This layer of dust has special magical powers and can maintain body temperature well, allowing them to live normally in this icy and snowy land.

Their lower limbs are a bit short and their upper limbs are very long, which looks very strange. Although their heads also have structures similar to eyes and mouths, they can't see eyeballs, only two surging mud, which is very strange.

This situation is certainly not what normal creatures should have. In fact, they will only change into their current appearance when they are close to Yonir. When they are away from Yonir, they will change into another appearance-the most common one is a savage covered with thick fur.

Some powerful wizards have captured this kind of savages and studied them, but found that their bodies and bloodlines are essentially not very different from humans. The reason for this strange phenomenon is that they are too close to Yonir and are affected.

Near this legendary beast, the "world" itself has been distorted and turned into its accustomed appearance. Those intelligent creatures living near it have also been distorted by its power and have undergone strange changes.

These intelligent creatures are not strong enough to resist this distortion, so they can't find their changes at all. In their opinion, whether they are close to or far away from Yonir, they are still the same and have not changed.

Even when they find that they have become hairy savages in their communication with the residents of Longhou Town, they will not feel uneasy or worried, but think that this is natural and no big deal.

A magician once spent money to buy a few slaves and let them live with Yonir for a period of time. After they have changed, they will try to remove the change. This experiment was quite successful, and the slaves did not feel anything wrong when they looked at the weird images they recorded at the time. According to them, everything was normal and there was nothing strange at all.

The magician finally couldn't suppress his burning curiosity and moved to live next to Jonil. He cast a lot of protective spells on himself, but they were useless. After a few months, he became a monster next to Jonil and a hairy savage elsewhere.

Fortunately, he still had friends who pulled him back in time and cured him.

His sacrifice was worth it. After this study, the magicians finally determined that the area around Jonil had undergone changes similar to the "Kingdom of God". This super-giant mud monster actually had the power of a god. It's just that its intelligence is too low to achieve a transformation from its essence - or the speed of this transformation is very slow, so slow that it is almost unobservable, so this strange phenomenon occurred.

Sui Xiong was of course a little curious about this, but first, he had to communicate with Jonil's believers and make them believe that he was not an enemy.

In fact, it was very simple.

The giant jellyfish waved its tentacles and took out an astonishingly large leg bone.

This bone did not come from any monster, but was made by Sui Xiong himself. Anyway, it is nothing more than piling up various minerals and nutrients, which is no different from building a house.

However, for those followers of Yonir, this is an absolute gift. They immediately put down their weapons, happily stroked the huge leg bone that was almost as tall as them lying on the ground, and admired it.

"My Lord will like this gift very much!" A creature that seemed to be the leader said, "Guests from afar, the Peaceful Swamp welcomes you!"

The Peaceful Swamp is the name they gave to this area.

It is indeed safe here, as long as you don't mind turning into a monster and your whole body and mind being distorted.

Sui Xiong would certainly not be affected by Yonir's power. He fell to the ground, shrank in size, chatted with the residents of the Peaceful Swamp who didn't realize what was wrong with them, and took out food to share with them.

The recipes of these residents did not become as strange as Yonir, and they still ate and drank like ordinary creatures. In order to prevent food and water from being contaminated by the ubiquitous negative energy, they dug storage rooms underground and used the purchased magic materials to build warehouses that could shield negative energy for storage.

The cost of doing so is not low, so for them, clean food and water are quite precious resources. It's okay in winter, the ice and snow on the treetops in the forest are not polluted very much, and can be used as a reliable water source. But there is no way to get food, so they can only rely on purchases.

The batch of food that Sui Xiong took out was specially caught by him in the sea. The quantity is quite considerable. For these people who live in poverty, it can be regarded as a considerable fortune.

They happily lit a bonfire, sang and danced. Although the movements were weird and even weird, the joy was not fake. Sui Xiong lay on a nearby stump, and seeing them so happy, he couldn't help laughing.

As the day wore on, and it was getting dark, Yonir's followers used various tools to drag the bizarrely large leg bone to a simple altar in the swamp. Because the altar was not big enough, they could only put one side of the bone on it.

After doing all this, they worshiped and prayed to Yonir, and then went into the cave underground.

The winter night in the north was bitterly cold, and even if they had changed their form with the blessing of Yonir, they could not resist it. Only by hiding in the relatively warm underground could they survive this long cold night.

When the moon rose, the huge mud monster that had been lying motionless all day shook slightly, shattering the ice that had accumulated on its body during the day, and then slowly squirmed its body and changed its shape.

In the center of its upper body, the mud-like material slowly flowed and gathered into a human-like shape. But the head was like a giant octopus, and each arm had four tentacles, which looked quite weird.

This strange creature stared at Sui Xiong, who had transformed back into a giant floating jellyfish, for a while and asked him questions.

The will was vague, sticky and soft, like a mixture of glue and mud, but fortunately, it was finally understood.

Sui Xiong smiled, sent a friendly message, and reminded it to pay attention to the huge bone on the altar.

When Jonil noticed the huge bone, it immediately let out a long and happy howl.

Just as it was trying to eat the bones, Sui Xiong took out another one and said that he had more.

So, the most powerful mud monster in the world, the unconscious guardian of the tranquil swamp, was easily bribed by a pile of big bones.

When Sui Xiong said goodbye and left, this guy learned the first word in his life other than instinct.

Friend.

For those friends who specially cut out the two words in the middle of "making friends with fists", I strongly suggest that you find some clean water and wash your brains. Maybe you have also been influenced by Joniel and haven’t realized it yet...otherwise why are you so dirty!
