Facts have proved that no matter how smart the undead were in life, their IQ will still be affected after becoming undead.
After his failed attempt to drive the Scarab to attack the Auror team, Shahos set about selecting suitable traps. The first is to lead the group to a specific location.
This is not difficult. As long as he lets the scarab block the corresponding road, these Aurors will most likely choose to take a detour.
It is possible to drive them away in this way. The only thing to guard against is Noah's weird magic.
Even Shahos is quite afraid of Noah's magic, especially when facing Noah directly. Although he behaves calmly, he actually has a sense of threat like a thorn in his back. This shows that Noah has the ability to directly threaten. His strength.
Shahos was quite afraid of this, so after Noah was obviously out of his control, he wanted to find some other bargaining chip to try to occupy a high position.
The man called "Cooper" must be held in hand.
But fortunately, he still had some sense and did not choose to attack directly. His intuition told him that if he attacked directly, Noah would be alarmed, so he could only take a roundabout way.
…
"We need to get out of here first." The older Auror suddenly said, his eyes wandering around, trying to find anything that made him uneasy, "There is something wrong here."
"Dewen, what did you find?" The leading Auror stood up, but did not question his words directly, but asked him if he had found anything.
Devon Carlisle's vision suddenly froze. He took out his wand and quickly used a magic after making a silent gesture. The invisible magic power quickly pulled out the things buried under the sand in the far corner, and flew to Dewen with some grains of sand.
All the wizards focused their attention on what he pulled out, and when they saw what it was, they immediately stood up and took out their wands.
Cooper was standing far away from Devin and couldn't see clearly what was being dragged out, but he took out his wand and asked quietly what happened.
"It's a scarab," Devon lowered his voice, "a scarab that just died."
Dewen's eyes lingered on the cracks on the scarab's body and the juice still flowing in the cracks. He easily judged that the scarab master had been strangled to death, but there were also signs of bites at the joints. It should be a snake. Something like this was made, and it was just made.
The leading Auror beside him also noticed these details. He pursed his lips and glanced around them, especially in the corners. He found many bulges that were not obvious. After carefully opening them with his wand, he opened them with just one The scarab's body was exposed.
Because they did not dare to get too close, the Aurors failed to find some sand marks that were obviously abnormal in some places, but the scarab's corpse had proved that something was wrong.
"There are only scarab corpses." An Auror lowered his voice.
This discovery gave everyone chills in their hearts.
Scarabs are rampant creatures in this pyramid. Whether they are wizards, other guards in this pyramid, or even the Inferi, they will subconsciously avoid these dangerous little guys. But now these rampant little guys are being attacked by something else. The thing was killed, so silently just a few meters away from them that they didn't even notice. The killer didn't even suffer any casualties.
There are other, extremely dangerous snake-like magical animals here!
The leading Auror's expression became ugly, and he lowered his voice: "Quickly, get out of here!"
No one had any objections. Everyone took out their magic wands. In pairs, they released the "Unified Protection" spell and quickly left the resting place, which they had previously considered a safe place.
But this time they did not continue to go deeper, but retreated in the original direction.
Continuing to delve deeper when the situation is unclear is simply to risk death, so they need to go back and make other plans.
Every move of the group was sensed by the scarabs, but due to the previous intimidation of the sand snakes, the scarabs did not dare to approach rashly anymore and could only monitor their position from a distance.
…
"Retreat?" Shahos looked at the scene in the sand curtain with a hoarse voice. The cloth soaked in yellow sand was wrapped around his face, but for no reason it made people think that his eyes must be very ferocious at the moment, "A group of weak people Where can the mice escape to?"
Naturally, there is no way to escape from his grasp.
The scattered sand on the ground rolled up without wind, forming a salon roll that wrapped his figure in it and quickly spread out. When the sand returned to silence, Shahos's figure had disappeared.
Although he can't leave the pyramid to see the light, nor can he go to the guard area on the bottom, other places are under his control and he can come and go as he pleases.
But Shahos also thinks very highly of himself and doesn't bother to arrest people with his own hands, nor does he need to.
…
The large grains of sand slipped a little, and an adventurous wizard who was still on the upper floor looked down at his feet in awareness.
"Is the ground moving?" The wizard looked at the moving sand under his feet in confusion and asked his companions, "Do you feel it?"
"Maybe it's another statue." His partner didn't care about the inconspicuous little movement under his feet, and was concentrating on trying to break the curse attached to the magic item in front of him. "Those guys are not just walking around. ?"
"I feel different."
"It can't be an earthquake."
"...It seems so."
The vigilant wizard was convinced that this level was not too dangerous. It was probably just the movement caused by the bulky stone statue guards walking around.
In the depth three floors below, which they were unaware of, the pyramid's tunnel was slowly rotating at an imperceptible speed.
This pyramid was constructed by wizards, so the passage chambers inside are also movable. Shahos's control over this place is naturally not only to be able to monitor or know the magic in every corner, but also to truly be able to Control the changes inside this huge mausoleum.
The Aurors walking in the passage were unaware that their feet were moving, and they did not know that their retreat had been replaced by another road.
They didn't go too far, they just retreated into the passage connecting the two floors.
Magical creatures generally have territories and will not leave their territory at will. In addition, exploration is not easy, and no one wants to fail in their previous efforts.
This gave Shahos an opportunity.
If this pyramid is regarded as a model at this moment, people watching the model will be surprised to find that a certain floor begins to rotate, the corridor inside gradually changes direction, and even the sloping corridor connecting the two floors begins to gradually rotate. With the change, the entrance on the upper side changed from a passage to a dead end, dividing the upper and lower floors and cutting off the way for the Aurors to go up.
