Chapter 189: The Final Trap

"Why do you have everything with you, it feels like you knew in advance that something was going to happen today. Hermione asked curiously after taking a sip of water.

"You guessed it. Ryan also sipped his saliva and said half-truthfully. "After all, this morning was too strange, so I thought about bringing some things, at least prepared than unprepared, but I didn't expect something to happen. He shrugged.

Listening to Ryan's answer, Hermione was also smart not to ask anything, and sat quietly there after drinking the water, closing her eyes and recuperating.

After resting for a few minutes, they packed up their things and continued along the path towards the main burial chamber. Although this is a tomb on the other side of the world, many places still conform to the Feng Shui concept of the Celestial Empire. So after a large number of forks in the road ahead, Ryan chose the path leading to the burial chamber inside.

Because it is the right road, the further you go, the more luxurious the road becomes. Mosaic mosaics began to appear on both sides of the road, and even gold and precious stones were used as embellishments. But Ryan just walked in front of him without squinting, after all, not to mention that there is a permanent paste spell in the wizarding world that can't take things off, as long as you think that so many treasures within the reach of tomb robbers will always be all kinds of traps, Ryan will not cause trouble for himself at this time.

But it was also a very irritating thing to look at these good things but not be able to take them, but fortunately, after bypassing a huge stone pillar with reliefs telling the story of how the owner of the tomb was sealed step by step, they finally found a wide hall.

Judging by the distance they have just traveled, they should theoretically have crossed the entire pyramid. But the truth is that they are still in the pyramid. The only possibility in this case is that there is a separate space behind the golden door, and this possibility takes Ryan's assessment of the tomb's owner's magical abilities to another level. After all, carving out another space within an artificial space is a very complicated thing, and only a wizard who has studied it deeply can do this.

This hall is very similar to the plaza at the entrance to the pyramid, except that the totem poles in the plaza have been replaced with statues of indigenous wizards wearing feathered crowns and holding feathered wands. At the other end of the hall, a thick-looking wooden door stood, on which an intricate sculpture was written: Kingdom of God.

Behind this door should be the final destination - the main burial chamber, after all, for a wizard who has gone crazy, the only place that can make him think of himself as an immortal feel that it is the kingdom of God is where he is.

According to the common route of tomb robbing, if there are no defenses on the way to the tomb, it is likely that a powerful trap will be set up in the final level of entering the tomb, such as this hall, leaving the unlucky ones who are not prepared or a little carried away to accompany the tomb owner. In a magical world, the danger of these traps often rises by several levels.

Since entering the Golden Gate, this journey is no different from an outing, and the journey has made Ryan's inner unease stronger and stronger. When he saw the wooden door in front of him, he immediately subconsciously thought that if there was a problem, the problem would be in this hall.

Since there is suspicion, it is definitely not possible to hit the head iron directly, especially if there is a laggard existence around him. Thinking of this, Ryan told Hermione to retreat behind the pillar in front of her, and told her not to come out no matter what she heard, and at the same time let Xiaoqing secretly hide on her to protect her.

After they hid, Ryan picked up one of Xiaoqing's clones and threw them into the hall, bounced them on the ground twice and stopped on the road in the middle of the hall, but after waiting for a few minutes, nothing happened.

It's a bit awkward, but Ryan was about to step into the hall when he suddenly stopped because he noticed something was wrong: almost all the sculptures along the way were exaggerated abstract art sculptures with a local Aboriginal style, which meant that everything on the sculpture was somewhat different from the real thing in terms of the proportions of each part.

And now, although these wizard sculptures in the hall also look exaggerated, their body proportions are basically the same as those of real people.

"It can't be that, right?" Ryan muttered to himself as he thought of the contents of a movie in which a great director from his previous life was the protagonist. But considering that the owner of this tomb can kill 100,000 people to make a pool of blood, it is not surprising that he would do such a cruel thing.

Thinking of this, Ryan took out more than 30 jade talismans the size of his thumb. Each of these jade talismans is crystal clear, and if you look closely, you can faintly see that there is a golden lightning flowing inside.

"This is most of the inventory I got from Uncle Nine, I hope my guess is not true, otherwise I don't know when I can get such a good jade replenishment next time." Ryan thought in pain as he asked Xiaoqing's clone to put a jade talisman on each statue.

When he was ready, Ryan walked into the hall with a palm-sized jade plaque in his hand. As soon as he stepped one foot on the floor of the hall, all the stone skins on the sculptures began to fall off, and Ryan could even see that some of the stone skins had fallen off, revealing rotten fabrics and black skin.

"Northern Realm Mingming Ten Thousand Miles Divine Monarch Big Dipper Seven Elements Seven Politics Xuan Ming ......" Seeing this situation, Ryan immediately recited the thunder spell, and finally activated the jade talisman that had been placed on them before these dried corpses sealed in the sculpture raised their wands to cast spells.

When the jade talisman was activated, it suddenly released the powerful energy contained inside, and the entire hall was filled with golden thunder and lightning. Ryan had to squint his eyes to avoid being hurt by the intense electric light.

After more than ten seconds, the lightning storm in the hall finally ended, and all the dried corpses were burned to charcoal. Ryan was just about to step forward to clean up the battlefield, but found that white soul fire floated from the charred dried corpses.

They're actually alive!! A few minutes later, more than thirty figures emitting milky white light floated in the air, and it seemed that the merit god thunder had not only destroyed those dried corpses, but also purified the souls inside by the way.

The lead wizard in a robe and a feather crown gave Ryan a native salute, then stood up and began to mutter. Fortunately, the spirits at the door had made Ryan understand their language, so he could understand what the wizard was saying.

According to the narration, Ryan learned that these wizards were disciples or subordinates of the Witch King, and were later made into a kind of thing called a corpse cocoon by the Witch King, which has the soul of a living person, but the body is dead.

Physically dead, they were deprived of control of their bodies, but they could still feel everything in the outside world, and the constant flow of energy from the blood pool outside the door kept them neither dead nor crazy, and they remained calm and endured the torture forever.

Because their souls belong to the living, they cannot be destroyed by the magic in the tombs. And the living souls are also guaranteed that if outsiders enter this hall, they are flexible enough to inflict serious damage on intruders.

"It's good that I have a lot of heart, otherwise I would have died today. Ryan let out a sigh of relief after listening to the narration of the soul in front of him. Even if their combat effectiveness after being made into a corpse cocoon is not as good as before they were alive, the number of more than 30 is enough to cause serious damage to him.
