"Roar!!!"
With the roar of the giant beast, Galante was directly hit by the giant beast against the wall on one side. The ground was already full of corpses. In just one minute, this monster was like a wolf among sheep. They started killing.
Galante felt that it should be able to kill faster, but it seemed to slow down its movements deliberately, as if it was playing tricks on them.
But if it was true, he wouldn't be surprised, because no one has come here for more than three thousand years.
A normal person who was hit like this would probably have had his internal organs ruptured and died on the spot.
However, apart from the pain, he was still conscious.
Soon, he saw the monster slashing at Simon, who was holding a wand and shooting at him.
Galante's expression changed and he shouted, "Simon, run!"
But it was already too late, the huge bloody mouth was about to split Simon in two.
But also in this moment.
A figure suddenly broke into Galante's sight.
"Whoops!"
With the sound of the giant thing waving through the air.
Tony jumped up high, raised the giant ax in his hand that was several times taller than him, and slashed hard at the monster's neck with his whole waist like a crescent moon.
"clang!"
With the sound of heavy metal clashing, sparks shot out from the intersection between the ax blade and the giant crocodile.
The giant ax was built by Tony and the dwarf, and Tony's technology was also used on it. This technology will apply a strong magnetic field to the ax blade to stimulate molecular motion.
No matter what the material is, the microstructure itself is uneven. Therefore, when high-frequency vibrations of several thousand hertz are applied to the material, the vibration amplitude will be slightly different in the uneven places.
As long as this frequency is increased, these tiny uneven vibrations can be quickly accumulated to fatigue in an instant. Coupled with the cutting effect of the weapon body, the material can be easily cut.
This is a weapon that acts on intermolecular forces, also known as a high-frequency weapon.
Nowadays, the technology to cut through molecules and thus cut through steel already exists, but the problem lies in the materials that can withstand this frequency.
Although the vibranium in Tony's world is adequate in terms of material, it has a characteristic that it absorbs vibration energy and is not suitable for high frequency knives.
However, mithril fits all of these perfectly, both in terms of hardness and toughness.
Of course, this is not all about this weapon.
Following the splashing sparks, the hammer-like device behind the ax blade unfolded, steam spurted out, and then lit up with a light blue light, exerting a secondary thrust on the axe.
Yes, this is a power axe.
Just as Tony defined this ax, it was an ax used to hunt dragons.
"Puch!!"
With the dual buffs of high-frequency cutting and power devices, the armor that the giant beast was proud of was easily broken, and blood burst out.
"Roar!!!"
The giant crocodile roared in pain and tried to break away from Tony, but how could Tony let him get his wish at this moment.
He once again increased the thrust of the power ax, exerting force with a slightly ferocious expression. The next moment.
"boom!"
The ax also hit the ground hard, making a dull sound, and blood spurted out and poured on Tony's body.
The strong smell of blood filled the underground space. A huge wound was cut on the neck of the giant crocodile, and blood kept pouring out.
It staggered back a few steps, trying to escape, but before it entered the lake, it completely lost its life.
For a time, there were only some gasping sounds left in the entire cave.
People stared blankly at the corpse of the monster that killed many of them, and then looked at Tony holding the giant axe, their hearts trembling.
But Tony didn't look at the giant crocodile, nor at these people. Instead, he silently dragged the ax towards his box, and the ax blade made a long scratch on the ground.
In the long silent road, the buzzing sound of metal scratching the ground was particularly obvious.
It was clearly not his style to use such crude weapons.
If it wasn't for the purpose of dealing with the monsters inside, he would never have brought it.
But now he has experienced the thrill of punching with the power weapons in many games.
Tony threw the ax into the box again, then took out a piece of cloth and quietly wiped the blood on his neck and gauntlets.
He has experienced so many battles that he has long been desensitized to blood.
He raised his hand, put away his visor, and turned it into the steamy glasses again. He looked at Galante, who was still stunned in place.
"What are you still doing?
Go check on the wounded. "
Galante reacted and quickly stepped forward with the others to check on the wounded and those who were still alive.
After these people walked around, Galante walked over with a gloomy expression and said to Tony.
"No casualties."
That is to say, everyone injured by the giant crocodile basically died.
Now there are only seven or eight people left here.
For a moment, the atmosphere in this cave was a little solemn.
"Are you scared?" Tony asked calmly.
"If you're scared, you can go back the way you came."
"Now that we are here, there is no point in going back."
Galante quickly regained his composure.
He is immortal and is not afraid of death. Moreover, this team was formed temporarily and they have only known each other for a short time. It is not that sad to say that it is sad.
He had just returned from the front line in West France not long ago, so he adapted to this kind of sacrifice quickly.
Tony was already equipping the equipment at the fastest speed just now. It took more than ten seconds to put the equipment on him. Taking out the ax from the box took the longest time. After all, it was very difficult to just lift such a heavy thing. .
If he had enough mithril or obtained the Philosopher's Stone, he would choose to make a full-body exoskeleton armor, so that it would be relatively easy to pick up the axe.
Tony did not continue talking, but picked up the box and turned around and walked deeper into the tunnel.
The people behind him looked back at the giant beast and swallowed slightly. Blood was still flowing from its neck, and it even had some human limbs in its mouth.
Even though it has completely lost its vitality, it is still scary.
They hurriedly turned around and followed Tony in.
They gradually went deeper into the cave, and the room became wider and wider as they walked. After walking about a few hundred meters, they saw a huge, simple golden door blocking them in front of them.
The giant door is about thirty meters tall, ten stories high. I don’t know what material is used on it, but it is shining brightly, as if it is made of gold. It has various reliefs, including an eagle head and a human body, with the sun above its head and the sun under its feet. The god Ra of the ship, the Eye of Horus on one side occupies a corner like the sun.
There are some tall obelisks inserted at the door. I wonder if it is the principle of some kind of refractor. At least hundreds of meters underground, sunlight is projected on the cliff above and shines on the obelisks.
People watched all this in a daze, and this huge door shocked them no less than the pyramid.
They saw many Egyptian buildings along the way. If not counting this underground palace, there was no place comparable to this door.
What is behind this door?
Tony also tried to move forward.
But then, countless sand and stones flew in front of him, gradually forming a terrifying behemoth.
The sphinx, with a crown on its head and a pair of wings behind it, was very similar to the Sphinx they saw outside.
But the difference is that this giant beast is alive, and it is more majestic and noble than a dead thing.
He was about the same height as the door. He looked serious, looked at everyone present with dignity, and spoke slowly.
"Leave, humans in a foreign land, this is not the place you should come to."
There is no doubt that the giant beast in front of me should be the legendary Sphinx, the Sphinx.
"Ahhh! I know this!"
Nige seemed to have finally encountered a familiar area and walked excitedly in front of the Sphinx.
"The answer is people!"
As he shouted this sentence, Tony fell silent, and the rest of the team behind him also fell silent.
There was even a doubtful look in the Sphinx's eyes.
A look like what are you talking about?
"Isn't that wrong?" Nige said with a slightly stiff expression.
Recalling the consequences of answering the riddle of the Sphinx incorrectly, he quickly ran behind Tony.
"The Sphinx of Greek mythology and the Sphinx of Egyptian mythology are not the same thing." Tony said helplessly.
Many parts of Greek mythology are based on Egyptian mythology, such as the similarity between Thoth and Hermes, and the Sphinx.
The Sphinx is a winged monster with the body of a lion and the head of a woman in Greek mythology.
Sitting on a cliff near the city of Thebes, he asked passers-by a riddle: "What walks on four legs in the morning, two legs at noon, and three legs at night?" If the passerby guessed wrong, he would be killed.
Oedipus correctly guessed that the answer to the riddle was a human being, and the Sphinx jumped off a cliff to her death in shame. The Sphinx was later compared to an enigmatic figure and a riddle.
But in Egypt, the image of the Sphinx is completely opposite.
The lion's body represents strength, wisdom, and kingship.
The human face, of course, symbolizes the authority of the Pharaoh.
It is a sacred symbol and is seen as a symbol and protector of the power of the Egyptian Pharaoh, a benevolent and noble being.
Naturally, this kind of existence would not care about a small character like Nige. His expression was still calm and majestic, and he did not want to talk to them too much.
"Leave."
"What if we insist on going in?" Tony asked.
The sphinx stared at Tony without saying a word.
For a moment, the atmosphere in this area was a bit solemn.
The breathing of these people was also slightly stagnant, thinking that another conflict was about to break out.
But what they didn't expect was that the Sphinx slowly spoke.
"Okay, anyway, this place is about to collapse, and you won't be able to stay long after you enter."
But after a pause, he continued.
"But to enter this place behind you, you must be dead."
This sentence obviously contained some ambiguity. As soon as the words came out, everyone except Tony took a step back.
But when they reacted, the Sphinx still made no move, as if quietly waiting for their answer.
Galante seemed to realize something and turned his head to look at Tony.
Tony also turned to look at him.
Although Tony didn't speak, at this moment, Galante already understood the real reason why the gentleman wanted to come by himself.
Galante thought for a moment, took a deep breath and said to the Sphinx.
"I want to go in."
The Sphinx raised his eyebrows in surprise, and said after a moment.
“There are very few people in this world who are not afraid of death.
However, have you thought clearly?
In fact, you still have a lot of time to enjoy the beauty of life. "
"I figured it out," Galante said.
The Sphinx nodded, "Well, living is actually the road to death."
His eyes lit up and he looked at Galante.
"Then...as you wish."
At that moment, Galante felt like he was losing consciousness.
When he gradually regained consciousness, he felt that he had entered a very warm place.
His eyelids moved and he slowly opened his eyes.
Everything in front of him made his pupils shrink slightly.
