I Created the Myth of the Old Ruler

"This thing doesn't look very tasty, but it's actually really bad."

The man wearing only a sleeveless blouse held a worm's leg in his hand. The leg was covered with white and tender meat. The meat was sizzling on the fire and exuded a strange smell.

In Lu Jian's words, it's like the smell left on the palm of your hand after killing a bedbug.

It is also very smelly.

Under the bright starry sky, five people sat around the bonfire, beside the towering sand dunes, the firelight reflected on the silver gravel, making the surroundings brighter.

The muscular man in the sleeveless short shirt is called "Giant Wrist", who can control the flames, the short man is called "Blazeheart", and the thin and pale man at the end is called "Old Dream".

"Hey, you two are newbies. You may not know the rules in this wasteland. The names of wasteland hunters are secrets. We prefer to call ourselves by nicknames. Of course, a loud nickname is sometimes easier to let go than a name." People remember, don't they!"

The giant wrist gave out a hearty smile and explained briefly.

It can be seen that although his hands have the appearance of humans, there are countless broken stones on the skin of his arms. These broken stones grow on his hands like crystals, with a bright luster.

Similar to the giant wrist, Yanxin's right palm is completely wrapped in crystals, like a prosthetic limb, while Old Dream has the same crystals near his eyes, and even his eyes shine like gems.

"Crystal nucleus disease..."

From their communication, Lu Yi knew that this was the reason for the destruction of this world.

Yes, there is some difference between this foreign land of the wasteland and other foreign lands, that is, it was indeed destroyed.

The world used to be extremely prosperous, with a technological level far surpassing that of Lu Yi's world, but a disease swept the world, and bright crystals appeared on the body of the sick, and these crystals would continue to spread over time, eventually making the sick suffer The whole body of the patient becomes hard crystal.

After experiencing disasters and wars, the wasteland became what it is now.

And the three of them, such as the giant wrist, are patients with crystal nuclei disease.

Crystal nucleus disease is the source of extraordinary abilities in this world.

As long as you have crystal nucleus disease,

There will be certain lesions in the body, so as to gain power beyond the limit of ordinary humans. Some people can mutate their bodies and grow strong giant arms. Some people can manipulate flames for their own use, and some people can influence the hearts of others.

However, with the passage of time, while the extraordinary abilities of patients with crystal nucleus disease are getting stronger and stronger, they will also make themselves more and more advanced towards the end. The more they use their abilities, the faster the crystal nucleus will spread. , when their abilities fully bloom, they will become a crystal flower in the desert.

"Nicknames, I think we should get two too, don't you think?"

Lu Jian looked at Shia beside him.

"...Well, indeed."

Shia was still a little dazed by the weird situation in this world, and she nodded when she heard Lu Jian's words.

"Then my nickname is...Mage."

she replied immediately.

Although Lu Jian wanted to complain, it was obviously not the time. He thought about it and said his nickname.

"Clown, you can call me a clown."

"What a funny nickname, hahaha."

The giant laughed, and handed the grilled worm meat to Lu Jian and Xi Ya.

"Here, eat it while it's hot, it will stink even more if it's cold."

"......thanks."

Shia took the meat skewers, her face was a little ugly.

Lu Jian took his own string and sniffed it close with his nose.

It does smell like bedbugs.

He reaffirmed.

Immediately, Lu Jian took a bite.

"Ok?"

The taste he didn't expect at all is like the taste of seafood that has been dead for several days and has been fermented and rotted, thrown into a pot and boiled, then dipped in wasabi and soy sauce and fed into the mouth.

It is a flavor that cannot be described by "delicious" and its synonyms.

Especially when the meat entered his throat, Lu Jian could even feel them beating.

In fact, even after being roasted on the fire, the worms were still wriggling, as if they thought they could salvage them again.

Seeing Lu Jian's face turned livid, Xi Ya subconsciously stopped the meat skewers she was about to put in her mouth.

"What's the matter, if you don't eat enough, you won't have energy tomorrow."

The giant urged.

Under his earnest gaze, Shia swallowed, and lightly took a bite of the worm's flesh.

Puchi puchi puchi—

When she was biting, the worm flesh suddenly struggled violently, like a carp trying to escape from the fish tank.

"Ha, this piece of meat looks very fresh, you are blessed, fresh meat tastes good."

The giant said enviously.

It took the female mage a little effort to get the meat into her mouth completely, and even while chewing, Lu Jian could still see the piece of meat dancing in her cheek.

"......tasty!"

However, when Shia swallowed this piece of meat completely, the expression on her face suddenly lit up.

"?"

Lu Jian raised a question mark.

He was very surprised to see Shia, savoring the taste of this piece of worm meat carefully, as if it was some kind of tomahawk steak, high-end barbecue.

Isn't this person the kind of guy who pretends to be delicious to trick others into eating it even though it's not delicious?

Lu Jian pondered.

Shia took another bite of the bouncing bug meat, and in less than three minutes, that big piece was completely eaten by her.

"The taste is really good, it makes me feel full of vitality, just like my mother's handicraft."

The mage girl patted her stomach... the armor on her stomach, and said with satisfaction.

"Haha, it seems that you are the one who can enjoy this meat, so happy!"

The giant laughed loudly, and tore off another piece of worm meat, without roasting it, and chewed it dry, making a crisp chewing sound.

"Is... really delicious?"

Lu Jian put the piece in his hand aside, and picked out a bunch of lively insect meat, took a look, and took a bite with his eyes closed.

Gulu Gulu, Lu Jian swallowed this piece of meat.

"...My sense of taste and yours, there must be a serious illness."

That's how he commented on Shia.

The bonfire was burning, and Lu Jian and Shia offered to keep vigil. The two sat beside the flames, and the three wilderness hunters slept separately in a posture that could wake up at any time, wrapped in blankets, and camel-like creatures for riding was chained near the luggage.

It was the first time for Lu Jian to spend the night in the desert. He looked up at the starry sky and found that the star map of this world was very different from that of the earth. He tried to find Aldebaran, but he found nothing.

At this time, Shia, who was resting with her eyes closed, suddenly opened her eyes.

"It's a new day."

She said so, and then took out an old book from her bosom.

Opening one of the pages of the book, Shia began to mutter something slowly, as if praying.

"what are you doing?"

Lu Jian asked a question.

Shia didn't answer, but waited until it took a few minutes to finish reading, then closed the book and looked at him.

"I am praying for the spell to be used today."
