"He escaped, we..."
Kang Xi originally wanted to catch up with Jian Feizao and kill him, but when he saw the messy battlefield, he realized that Russell had consumed a lot of energy, so he changed his mind and said, "I'll chase him, and you can rest for a while."
"It doesn't matter. A few minor injuries won't affect your movements. If you chase into the mirror space, it will be difficult to reunite." Russell put away his guns and wandered to the front of the corridor. He estimated that the time was almost up, and then walked in with Kang Xi. .
The two walked less than fifty meters, and there were blood stains on the walls and the ground. Kang Xi walked forward and squatted down, his fingertips were stained with blood, and his face showed a solemn look: "The blood is still very fresh, someone got there first. What bad luck.”
Russell nodded silently, blood splattered on the wall, and there was a pool of blood on the ground. He could deduce the scene at that time at a glance.
Jason attacked Jian Feizao from behind, covered his mouth, and then wiped his neck with a dog-leg knife.
"Damn it, I've worked so hard to fight until now, and finally my health is reduced, and someone actually picks up the head." Kang Xi said bitterly. He could get reward points for killing the reincarnations of other teams, but now they are gone.
"It's just like playing games. There's nothing to worry about. Let's go. Mission first."
"Alas! This is your reward point, don't you feel bad?"
"It's not worth it to feel bad for such a small amount of money."
"Tch, damn rich people."
…
The two of them walked along the complicated corridor in tandem, twisting and turning until Kang Xi was dizzy. At this time, Russell suddenly accelerated, grabbed her arm and ran all the way.
The mirror space appeared again. The two passed through the invisible barrier and left the seemingly endless corridor. A narrow path with stone steps appeared in front of them.
The stone path extends downward, and there are two stone statues at the entrance, both of which are wolf-headed men kneeling on one knee. The cave is so dark that it is difficult to see the reality, but you can feel a cold and dark atmosphere hovering at the end.
According to the structure of the pyramid, this downward passage is likely to lead directly to the tomb chamber. The two looked at each other and nodded, and walked in without hesitation.
As I walked, a colorful ancient mural appeared on the wall, one every ten meters. It recorded the life of an Egyptian emperor who was about five thousand years ago. He was brave and good at fighting and had great national power. When he was most powerful, he led his army in an attempt to conquer the world.
Conquering the world is just a saying. Throughout history, those who wanted to conquer the world were eventually conquered by the world.
This great emperor was no exception. His invincible army suffered a disastrous defeat and retreated all the way to the desert. Except for the emperor himself, all the soldiers and generals were mercilessly swallowed by the desert. On his deathbed, he sacrificed his soul to Anubis, the god of death, gaining unparalleled power and successfully revenged himself.
Kang Xi stopped to look carefully, and soon frowned: "Jason, when you look at the mural on the wall, do you think of anything?"
There is nothing special about the mural, but after the emperor succeeded in revenge, his soul was taken away by Anubis and turned into a ferocious giant scorpion.
"In the second part of the Mummy series, the Emperor should refer to the Scorpion Emperor..." The bright scorpion pattern on the mural was so lifelike that it stung Russell's eyes. He frowned and said, "If this civilizational ruins really represent ancient Egypt, So why is it the Scorpion Emperor? Did he really exist in history?"
"It should have existed, but it was overly mythologized by later generations." Kang Xi pointed to one of the murals, which showed the Scorpion Emperor sacrificing his soul, and Anubis, the God of Death, appeared: "Compared to the Scorpion Emperor, Emperor Scorpion, this is the boss, if the main god raises the difficulty level and lets him appear, we will be in big trouble."
Anubis is the god of death in Egyptian mythology. He was once the king of the underworld. He is famous for his heart scale ritual. As the guardian of mummies, he is an indispensable role whenever a pyramid appears.
"What you said makes sense, but that's not what I meant."
Russell shook his head slightly: "At first, I speculated that the five major ruins were the four ancient civilizations, plus an Aegean civilization, or a monster civilization, but the sudden appearance of an imaginary character disrupted my previous speculation. .”
"What speculation?" Kang Xi asked confusedly, not knowing why.
“Have you ever wondered who represents Chinese civilization?”
"Well……"
Kang Xi was asked how many historical figures were mythologized by later generations, including Huangdi, Yandi, and Chi You. How should she answer?
"Let's go, finish exploring this ancient Egyptian civilization first, and we'll talk about the rest later. Don't worry about Anubis showing up. His level is too high, and he will be weakened even if he appears. After all, the main god wants the reincarnation to complete the task, isn't it? Come and die." Russell shrugged. At this point, he can only take one step at a time.
The two of them continued deeper into the stone path and walked for about five minutes. The cold atmosphere became stronger and stronger. Finally, dim light came on and they reached the end of the stone path.
After walking out of the stone path, the view suddenly opened up, and a huge space appeared inside the pyramid. The space with a diameter of two kilometers extends upward, as if it runs through the sky and the earth, beyond the upper limit of vision.
In the cylindrical space, corridors were densely arranged on the walls on all sides, and Russell and Kangxi walked out of only one of them.
Kang Xi was looking up at the sky when he was pulled by Russell and half-crouched to hide under a stone scorpion statue.
"What's wrong?"
"Stop talking and look down."
Upon hearing this, Kang Xi looked down and saw a stone square about a hundred meters away from them. Nine pillars were arranged around the edge. There were statues above each stone pillar, representing the Nine Pillars of God in ancient Egyptian mythology.
Nine fireballs were suspended above the stone pillars out of thin air, and the firelight illuminated the square like daylight. The most eye-catching thing was the scorpion statue in the center.
The stone statue is more than 20 meters tall by visual inspection, with a strong cold air sealed in its body. It is surrounded by black mist, and it moves like breathing. Around the stone statue, there are massive amounts of gold and silver treasures scattered, piled up into mountains of gold and silver, which are particularly eye-catching when the firelight shines on them.
"That one should be the Scorpion King. Does killing him count as completing the mission?" Kang Xi asked. The Lord God didn't mention any method that would be considered a successful exploration of the ruins. She could only think of this.
"There is too little information, let's take a look first." Russell looked down attentively. They had arrived not too early, and someone could not help but take action.
A group of four reincarnations approached the stone statue cautiously. One of them took out a rocket launcher from the space ring, aimed at the stone statue and fired. Their idea was the same as Kang Xi's. If they blew up the stone statue, the exploration would be complete.
boom! !
The rocket shot out, and was blocked by a suddenly raised sand wall in front of the stone statue. The sand wall had amazing defensive power, and the power of the rocket explosion did not even make it shake.
The firelight overflowed, and the sand wall twisted and closed, turning into a bald man wearing a black robe.
The sacrifice of the Pharaoh, Immortun!
"If you want to gain the power of the Scorpion Emperor, you must abide by the rules set by Anubis and fight me one-on-one. Only the winner will be qualified to challenge the Scorpion Emperor." Immorton looked at the four reincarnations. , said expressionlessly: "Which one of you will come first?"
The four reincarnations looked at each other, then nodded in unison, and took out their respective weapons: "Hmph, to deal with this kind of devil, there is no need to argue with him about the moral principles of the world, let's go together."
Russell looked at it and nodded secretly. The person speaking was a talented person, and his ideas coincided with his.
