Noah was forced off the line, and Cooper was not in a good situation.
After advancing for half an hour, the three Coopers once again returned to the starting point.
They probably fell into a circular corridor or were trapped here by some magic spell. This was the third time they had returned to the starting point.
During this period, they also tried to use various spells to escape, but all ended in failure.
Shahos trapped them here, not intending to harm them, but he also wanted to keep them in his hands.
After the spell expires, they can only try to find the mechanism.
In order to preserve their ability to cope with the crisis, the three of them took turns to rest and restore their strength, leaving only one person outside to explore the mechanism.
…
The Auror team did not encounter any accidents after losing three companions, but they clearly noticed that there were more magic traps, as if they suddenly entered the difficult mode from a simple area, which slowed down their search for companions. As for the progress, we can only make plans slowly.
But Shahos, the culprit who caused all this, also looked worried.
It had been a full seventeen hours, he had been waiting for seventeen hours, but the Scarab still found no trace of Noah.
This made him extremely uneasy, if Noah died underneath...
Shahos certainly had reservations about the underlying situation, and of course what he reserved was the part he didn't know. He just didn't tell Noah, and he didn't know the following situation.
The map was real, and so was the route, but it was limited to what he knew. Shahos just didn't explain that there was something he didn't know below.
He knew very well what kind of temperament that Pharaoh had. He played tricks on everyone during his lifetime, and the tomb he built after his death would naturally have back-up plans that others could not expect. After all, he was a despicable, insidious and cunning guy.
Damn, isn't that guy crazy? He is favored by Hades. He shouldn't die so easily. Damn it, he actually threw away the scarab, it was really more than life or death.
But Shahos has no good solution... No, maybe there is still one.
Shahos looked to his side. The sand flowed up and spread on the wall. Pictures emerged one by one, and the figures of the exploring wizards appeared in the pictures.
Isn't this... ready-made cannon fodder?
But it can't be now. He can give Noah a little more time. If he still can't find any trace of Noah, he can only find someone else.
…
A sand snake swam out from the corner of the wall, but before it had time to look around, it was directly overwhelmed by the swarm of scarabs.
The sand snake let out a silent scream before being strangled by the swarm of insects and scattered into the sand on the ground. The sand snakes wandering elsewhere seemed to have heard some kind of call and began to move towards a certain location in unison.
As they get closer, more scarabs appear and "bite" these strange magical powers that they don't know what they are.
This time the sand snakes did not resist. They came one after another and were killed without resistance and scattered into harmless sand. The scarabs, who were not very smart, did not think about what was going on with the sudden appearance of the sand snakes. After all, these sand snakes were not the wizards Shahos cared about, and they would not pay attention to this anomaly without receiving relevant orders. , just kill these "intruders" like prey.
It was the monotonous thinking of the Scarabs that gave Noah's Sand Snakes an opportunity to take advantage - they found a place to hide the hostages.
Although they could not contact their master for a while, the Sand Snakes still left marks for their master one after another, and quietly hid the magic circle that Noah had reserved at their core here, although there was no magic power to activate it. The magic array is just a decoration, and each sand snake only carries a fragment. But once these magic arrays are really formed and activated, they can play unexpected roles.
…
When Noah woke up, the first thing he felt was the weight of something pressing down on his body and the feeling of exhaustion. And the emptiness and non-being that appeared when the magic power dried up, even the throat felt dry and torn.
The magic power has not recovered at all, probably because of these stones, and if he stays here all the time, he will never recover.
Realizing this, Noah moved his hands and struggled to drag his arms to support his body.
When Keya discovered that he was awake, he immediately climbed onto his shoulder and licked his cheek with the snake letter.
"It's okay." Noah climbed up from the ground with difficulty and picked up the long knife in his hand as a support. "We have to get out of here first."
Keya wrapped his arms around his shoulders and hissed the snake letter.
Noah tilted his head slightly and made a confused sound: "Huh?"
He lowered his head and looked at his feet, and found a small black mask lying at his feet. It was in the shape of a jackal's head, which is often called the Anubis mask. There were also some golden magic patterns drawn on it, which was similar to the previous one. The magic patterns on the faces of several Anapa are exactly the same.
Keya picked this up from the black gravel on the ground. It was just a small fragment at first. After realizing that there was something in these piles of sand, Keya went to dig through them one by one, and finally found eight fragments.
And why it turned into a whole mask, Koya didn't know. It just piled these fragments together, and they became like this on their own.
It wasn't enough that this thing was the "culprit" that caused Noah to become unconscious, so Keya angrily slapped and took a few bites. The texture of this mask was very soft and could easily leave traces, but it seemed to have some power. The recovery effect will make the traces disappear quickly.
Noah didn't have the energy to study what this mask was now. He was in urgent need of restoring his magic power, so he simply picked up the mask and stuffed it into his pocket before staggering forward.
The exit is right behind a sarcophagus, which was exposed after the sarcophagus collapsed due to the battle. Now Noah no longer cares about whether there is any danger behind him. As long as he leaves here first, he can regain a certain degree of emergency capabilities.
This feeling of exhaustion and weakness made him feel irritable and exhausted, and he was eager to get out of this situation.
Keya also knew his situation at the moment, wrapped around his shoulders and alerted the surroundings, ready to help Noah deal with any incoming enemies.
Fortunately, the journey was uneventful. After walking mechanically for who knows how long, my body suddenly felt relaxed, and my body subconsciously relaxed.
For a moment of relaxation, Noah's body swayed before he stabilized. He simply slumped on the ground and felt the feeling of the magic power that had been suppressed for too long filling up rapidly in his body. It took a while to calm down the impatience spreading in his heart.
It felt really bad.
Noah, who added another entry to the small notebook in his mind, rested for a while before standing up again.
The next step is to meet the owner here for a while.
