Chapter 187: Entering the Tomb

The mummy was covered with several layers of protective spells by Ryan, and even the rune paper was pasted with seven or eight sheets. After getting ready, the mummy stepped onto the stone bridge under the gaze of the two of them.

The moment the mummy stepped on the stone bridge, it was as if a gust of wind was blowing. The dusty layer on the entire stone bridge was swept away, revealing the finely carved crystal bridge underground.

"Looks like it's just a welcome ceremony?" Ryan had just said with a smile when the black mist that had been floating in the pool of blood rushed towards the mummy on the bridge and enveloped him. Seven or eight seconds later, the black mist cleared, and the mummy turned into fragments of bones and fell into a pool of blood.

Ryan: Well, that's a little too fast.

At that moment, Ryan realized that the black mist floating on the pool of blood was not a mist at all, but was composed of a large group of small insects the size of sesame seeds. These bugs have a restrained effect on magic and are very capable of gnawing. Just now, in their clustered state, it was easy to gnaw away the mummies that were fully prepared for magical defense in just a few seconds.

After that, Ryan tried to throw samples of various things on his body onto the bridge, but all the items he was carrying could not stop the gnawing of this thing, but in the process of the experiment, Ryan also found that these insects have two states, virtual and real, and the lethality of the illusory spirit state to the living objects is even higher than the lethality of those inanimate objects in their physical state. (Under the bribe of five cans of sunshine crystals, Xiaoqing sacrificed a doppelganger to find out about this.) )

In the same way, the magic defense of these bugs is also very high, and all magic is not very lethal to them. It seems that the hard break is just adding nutrients to the blood pool underneath.

"Otherwise, we'll just turn around and go out and rush straight over the main road. Hermione proposed when she saw Ryan standing here for a long time, still looking ugly.

"The problem is that the people out there on the main road are terrorists. Ryan hesitated for a moment, but thinking about the information he had gotten about the Blood God Cult, he became firm. "Wizards who fall into their hands tend to become raw materials for their experiments, and at least they can die a little more quickly than they do over there. Besides, I think I've got a way to get rid of these bugs. ”

After Ryan finished speaking, he took out a piece of white cloth with various mysterious patterns drawn from the space bag and spread it at the junction between the platform and the bridge, and then sat down cross-legged on the white cloth. This white cloth was made of the spider silk that the Terma people had obtained after they had exterminated the Eight-Eyed Giant Spider in the Forbidden Forest before, and many runes had been drawn on it with a lot of valuable materials. This cloth is meant to be used as a makeshift altar where there is no altar, but it can only be used three times before the magic on it is depleted.

After sitting on the white cloth, Ryan took a knife from his bosom and made a cut in his hand, allowing blood to collect on the floor in front of him. He then pulled out Klingvi's teeth and dipped them in blood, drawing runes through the air. The runes were drawn into silver runes, floating in mid-air and slowly revolving around Ryan.

"It looks like a kanji. Hermione whispered to herself. Indeed, this is the rune that can communicate with the undead in the Maoshan Upper Clearing Method.

If the Norse magic of life is like fire, it is good at manipulating all kinds of dead creatures and the power of death, and it is very effective for those who are no longer self-conscious. The means of communication with the dead in the East are generally like flowing water, which tends to moisten things and penetrate silently, which is much gentler in operation, and is also conducive to communicating with these undead who may have self-awareness.

"The Imperial Decree of the Supreme Order, Chao Ru, Lonely Soul, Ghost, All Four Beings, Grace ......" Ryan glanced at the insect swarm on the pool after reciting the incantation, and found that these insect swarms flew even more chaotically.

This requiem spell should theoretically appease the swarms. He decided to see what was going on. So he made a gesture with his left hand and said. "Open the eyes of the sky", and then silently opened his eyes.

Everything in front of him turned gray, and he checked himself and Hermione first, and found that the three orange life fires on the two people were burning, which meant that their souls were in good condition for the time being.

Later, when he turned his gaze to the pool of blood, he was stunned. Because he saw countless blue ghost fires floating above the blood pool, each ghost fire represented the soul of a human after death, and now the bright spot on the blood pool represented that there were at least nearly 100,000 souls in this place, but unlike normal souls, these souls stayed there as stiff as if they were frozen, and each soul was bound by black mist chains.

But there should still be a little bit of instinct in these souls. Ryan saw them magically surrounding the platform he was on, silently stopping in mid-air. This should have been attracted by Ryan's spell that had just surpassed the revenant.

It seems that the transcendence mantra is useful, and thinking of this, Ryan added the power of merit while chanting. As Ryan chanted, the black mist wrapped around these ghost fires dissipated little by little. Finally, after reciting seventy-seven and forty-nine times in the transcendence, the black mist finally dissipated completely. These ghost fires also slowly recovered from their original frozen state, and began to have some agile aura.

But unlike ordinary souls who are overpowered, no matter how much Ryan recites the transcendent spell after that, it doesn't work. And he sensed as if the spirits had some message to tell him.

"They probably don't have malicious intent. Ryan thought as he thought to the souls in front of him, hoping that they could choose a few generations to tell him what he wanted to say.

A few minutes later, three ghostfires larger than the other ghostfires came out of the crowd and came out in front of Ran, and then sent a message like Ryan.

The idea contained a lot of information, and it took several minutes for Ryan to figure out what the ghosts were trying to tell him after receiving it.

The pyramid is indeed a temple, but it is also the tomb of the most powerful sorcerer king in ancient times. In this era when the Witch King and his sorcerers ruled the land, they were able to produce abundant seeds, and they could use powerful magic to change the flow of rivers to level the land, making the wood and stone tools in the hands of the natives stronger than metal.

In this case, the powerful local natives quickly conquered large swaths of the surrounding land, and a jungle empire was born, thinking that everyone could live happily under the rule of wizards, but they forgot that wizards are also human beings and will grow old with the passage of time.

So the Witch King began to frantically search for a way to eternal life, and one day, the Witch King left without saying goodbye, until a year later he returned with a wound all over his body.

Since then, the Witch King has become extremely violent. He killed all those who advised him, even his favorite concubines and his most loyal ministers. Began to force everyone to build this huge pyramid for him in this space he had opened up.

And all the souls in this pool of blood are the souls of the builders who were killed during the construction of the pyramid because they were not good enough.
