The night in the desert is much better than the day. The breeze blows through, which washes away the heat of the day. Kai doesn't like the desert because the scenery here is too monotonous. Sometimes Kai understands why Set, the god of the desert, rebelled in the first place.
His brother was named the god of fertility by the sun god Ra, who was in charge of the land on the banks of the Nile. And what about Seth? Ordered by the Sun God, he could only walk in the desert day and night, constantly fighting against the heat and cold. Any individual would be unhappy with this kind of differential treatment.
But the desert also has some benefits for Kai, that is, when he is in this desert, he can feel his strength constantly increasing. The desert inflammation is originally the root of the desert. It gave birth to the desert, and the desert also nourished it. . Being in the desert gave Kai a sense of relaxation that relieved him of his burden.
Since waking up in this era, Kai has been feeling oppressed in his body, and his magic and divine power have been suppressed.
For example, in the mausoleum, Mr. Hyde was face to face and was hit by a thunderbolt from Kai. If Kai was sleeping, the thunderbolt would have been enough to blow Mr. Hyde into smithereens, but his strength After being suppressed, Mr. Hyde was only seriously injured and could recover immediately. This is a reflection of Kai's current strength. He cannot be said to be weak, but he is definitely not that strong either.
It feels like the whole person is sinking under the water. Although I can still move, the resistance is very high. This greatly suppressed Kai's strength. At first Kai thought it was because he was weak due to sleeping for too many years.
Before the sleeping curse took effect, Kai killed Saigon and robbed him of his 'beyond life and death', making his soul independent between life and death. But the soul still fell into a deep sleep. Moreover, sleeping for thousands of years will inevitably lead to a weakened soul, which will also affect the body.
Speaking of which, this curse is really awesome. It actually made Kai sleep for thousands of years before the curse expired. Because of this, Kai didn't pay much attention to the strangeness in his body at first.
But in the months that followed, Kai still failed to recover. The strength is still only about three levels of what it was in its heyday, which is very abnormal.
And that oppression is still with him to this day. Kai spent months trying to figure out why, but came to the conclusion that he was fine, body and soul, and had recovered. What's really wrong is the world!
This is not a case of Kaizhong's second disease and complaining about the world, but it is true.
Kai had not noticed it before, but only after he found out that he was fine did he feel a subtle change in the world. The most obvious example is that the energy in the air has become 'lazy' and is not as active as it was thousands of years ago. To mobilize that energy, more effort is required, but the effect is worse.
It was as if something had trapped the energy, making it inert.
Whenever Kai has free time these days, he will study what is causing the change in the energy between heaven and earth, but he has found nothing. Is it because of changes in the environment? By analogy, if this is really the case, then Kai thinks there is a reason for the disappearance of those gods.
Because this environment is no longer suitable for the survival of the gods, those powerful gods are okay, at best they are suppressed, but those weak lower-level gods, or the newly born gods are destined to have a difficult time. They will gradually lose control of their energy and become increasingly mediocre.
No civilization can be maintained only by a few powerful individuals. Once the underlying structure collapses and the foundation is gone, the civilization will naturally disappear.
Although he thinks so, Kekai still feels a little strange, because even if this is really the case, with the capabilities of those civilizations, they will never be like now. Even the traces of existence have disappeared, leaving only some legends and stories circulating. Based on Kai's understanding of those great gods, their wisdom is enough to cope with such changes, and they will definitely not watch their civilization disappear.
In this way, Kai looked at the clean sky in the desert and had random thoughts in his mind.
It wasn't until a cup of hot coffee was handed to Kai that he recovered his thoughts.
"What's wrong? Can't sleep?" Catherine came to Kai wearing a silk pajamas and carrying coffee.
Ever since Kai gave Catherine a bracelet that could suppress the power of blood, Catherine's dressing style has become a bit more liberal. Normally, she would still wear a nun's uniform, but once in private, she is much more open-minded. For example, right now, this pajama outfit is very unrestrained. There is a suspender silk petticoat underneath, and the skirt only reaches a little below the thighs. If the wind blows, it may be exposed. If she hadn't added a large silk pajamas, it would be What a hooligan.
"No, I'm just thinking about something." Kai looked at this seductive beauty and touched his nose a little awkwardly. He always felt that his nose was a little itchy.
Kai knew that Catherine wasn't trying to seduce him. The witch was not that superficial. She just held it in for a long time because she had been wearing extremely conservative clothes before. Now she can safely show off her skin as she likes, but she doesn't want to be so relaxed in front of unfamiliar people, so she can only take advantage of it.
"Miss you little archaeologist?" After Catherine and Kai got to know each other well, she discovered that Kai was actually not much different from many young people, and he was not as tall and divine as the legendary hero in his imagination. In fact, if you think about it, Kai just fell asleep. It's not like he really experienced so many years. His mental age is still stuck at the moment of falling asleep.
There is nothing wrong with saying he is a young man.
Kai smiled.
"That little girl is just a little naive, not what you think. You..." Just when Kai was about to tell Catherine to stop talking nonsense, suddenly a dark wind blew by, just like Sanjiutian standing in the wind, freezing. In people's hearts. Kai immediately threw away the coffee in his hand, took out a Winchester M1887 shotgun from the King's Treasure House, and fired a shot not far away from him!
A mummy covered in tatters and holding a bronze weapon was beaten out of the darkness.
The Winchester M1887 is a lever-action repeating shotgun that is very powerful and easy to operate. The tubular magazine can hold seven rounds of 24-inch 12-gauge shotguns. It has excellent power and battery life. After firing the first shot, Kai fired three more shotguns in three directions, and immediately three more mummies were shot out of the void.
Catherine on the other side was not to be outdone. Her hair immediately wrapped around her body, and she appeared in a tight black reflective combat uniform. Then four magic circles appeared around her hands and feet, and four modified giant revolvers appeared out of thin air on her hands and high heels.
Bang bang bang bang, four consecutive shots quickly followed Kai and knocked out the four mummies from the void.
With the sound of several gunshots, the entire camp was awakened.
The first to come out was the duo of Lao Fu and Cotman. Since the last time they dealt with Immorton together, these two old men have become extremely in tune with each other. They usually chat together, and this time they also appeared together.
When they appeared, they immediately realized something was wrong because they couldn't see the enemy. I could only see soldiers being injured, but there was no trace of the enemy. However, the old man's experience came into play at this time. After Coatman saw the empty footprints on the ground, he immediately bent down and grabbed a handful from the ground. The sand was thrown in the direction where the footprints appeared.
The sand hit the void and was actually bounced out of thin air, revealing a little outline. Lao Fu immediately followed up and shot the invisible mummies out of their invisibility with continuous shot.
Then came Captain Nemo and Hyde, who were one tent. Captain Nemo was not as troublesome as Coatman. Although he could not see the enemy, according to his perception ability, which he had practiced for a long time in yoga, those heavy-footed enemies could not escape his eyes and ears. He only saw him pull out his scimitar, Three times, five times and two times will take out the prototype of the invisible enemy.
Hyde naturally followed suit and opened fire wildly with a rifle from somewhere else.
But that's it, except for them, others are unable to resist this kind of invisible undead monster. When those soldiers saw the mummies, they were like housewives seeing cockroaches and mice. They had no use except screaming and beating.
"Catherine! Break their invisibility!"
