Chapter 188: Entering the Tomb (Asking for Subscription, Asking for Collection, Asking for Recommendation)
O eternal life, Muggles and wizards alike will always be dazzled by this thing and do countless evil deeds. Think about Qin Shi Huang back then, and then think about Voldemort who treated his soul like a slice of bread and ended up completely inhuman and human, and you will know how many heroes and heroes are planted on it. This witch king in the Amazon rainforest is just one of them.
As Ryan was thinking about this, more information flooded into his mind, and I have to say that soul communication is a very good way. He can bypass the most troublesome language barriers.
It turned out that after these people died, the witch king did not let them go. He attaches their souls to the insects, known as the Demon Eaters, and keeps them as his gatekeepers for the rest of their lives, while constantly sucking the soul energy they have generated from their pain.
They had gradually lost themselves in a thousand years of torment, until Ryan had just helped them regain their senses with a transcendent spell with a lot of merit. So they were willing to give Ryan everything they had in their hands, on the condition that Ryan would lead them through the magic door that the Witch King had set up that they couldn't pass through now anyway, so that they could take revenge on the Witch King.
Ryan groaned, after all, it meant that the bugs were to be restored to their soul state and attached to their bodies, but in this way, his own soul was open to them. If they have bad intentions, Ryan will never recover.
The three leading souls had a lot of social experience during their lifetimes, and they could see at a glance what Ryan was worried about. So they offered to take death itself as a witness, and they swore not to hurt Ryan in the process.
Soon they made an oath, and Ryan felt that the oath was of a very high rank, even higher than the unbreakable oath. In this case, Ryan also relieved his heart, and when he opened up, the sea of knowledge was ready to accept these souls.
Hermione watched anxiously as Ryan sat motionless, and if it weren't for Ryan's chest still rising and falling, she would have even thought something had happened to Ryan.
Suddenly, Ryan stood up and stepped out of the cloth on the ground towards the crystal arch bridge at the edge of the platform. Hermione subconsciously wanted to grab Ryan, but unfortunately she was half a beat slower, and she could only watch Ryan step out of the protection of the platform and step onto the arched bridge.
"No!" Hermione screamed as she saw the black mist on the pool of blood begin to glow with an ominous blue glow, and then the whole black mist rushed into Ryan's body. At the same time, a large amount of black mist was also produced in the blood pool, flying towards Ryan.
Just as she was about to rush onto the bridge, she was suddenly restrained by the light from the white cloth blocking the intersection, and could only watch as clouds of black mist poured into Ryan's body.
Eventually, all the black mist poured into Ryan's body, and after a few more stiff moments, he finally regained his mobility, and he turned around after a few more twists of his hands and feet.
Seeing Hermione, who had been magically fixed on the white cloth, Ryan waved his hand to dismantle the magic. At that time, he was worried that Hermione would rush straight to him as soon as he was excited, so he made preparations in advance, and in the end things turned out to be as he expected.
As soon as the restraints were released, Hermione immediately jumped up and hugged Ryan, and then immediately let go and took a step back and asked, "Are you okay now?"
"It's okay, I've just negotiated with those souls in the black fog and made a simple deal that is beneficial to both parties. Now we can cross the bridge. With that, Ryan put away the white cloth and Hermione, and the two of them crossed the crystal bridge with the five mummies hugging each other.
Sure enough, when I walked across the crystal bridge, there was no longer the black fog. Hermione saw this scene and obediently didn't ask what exactly happened.
Coming to the platform opposite the blood pool, the golden gate appeared in front of them. With the help of the bunch of souls in his mind, Ryan recognized that the pattern on the gate was actually their words. And all the words engraved on this golden gate only record the honorific title of the witch king back then.
"It's a big show. Ryan sighed as he read the words on the door as the spirits had instructed him. When the last syllable fell, the golden gate opened inward, revealing a diagonal passage made of small ashlar bricks inside.
Ryan commanded a mummy to explore the path as usual, and as soon as the mummy stepped into the passage, it was completely destroyed by an inexplicable force, and he didn't even know where this mummy-destroying force came from.
"This is the life between the lives set by the Witch King back then. A soul's voice sounded in Ryan's head, from the soul of the old man he had just chosen to represent.
"Although I don't know much magic, I participated in the construction of this pyramid temple as a scholar. I was one of the last people to be killed, citing a small mistake. Now that I think about it, the witch king should kill people for secrecy. The soul let out a wry laugh and continued.
"But before I was killed, I had seen the blueprints of this temple, and behind that golden door was called the Living Room, and no undead creatures were allowed to enter. I think that the magic on the golden door did not allow us to enter at that time, probably because we were afraid that we would choose to enter the golden gate after being tortured and obtain eternal silence. Then there would be no one to guard his pool of blood for the Witch King. ”
It seems that these mummies can't be taken away, because after entering the pyramid, the Ten Thousand Worlds Grocery Store has been in a state of combat all the time, so Ryan can't stuff it into the Ten Thousand Worlds Grocery Store.
After slashing out the mummies one by one, Ryan and the others stepped into the tomb, only to find that the entire door was made of gold, the first metal that humans could use, and the tomb owner's tyrant spirit was unmistakable.
The entire tomb path emitted a faint white light, a stark contrast to the darkness and dead silence of the place where I had walked before. It seems that the owner of this tomb really believed that he could attain eternal life, so on the way into the tomb, he was completely dressed up in the world of the living.
Naturally, there are no mechanisms on this section of the tomb, on the one hand, it may be that the tomb owner thinks that the blood pool and demon devouring insects just now can kill all the uninvited guests, and the tomb owner of such a large amount does not have enough resources to set up a second similar defense. And for those who were able to get past that defense, it was a superfluous thing to have a mechanism behind that was not as good as it.
On the other hand, he may feel that he is an eternal, that the tomb is his home, and that normal people will only set traps outside their homes, and few people will set them in the living room.
After making sure that there were no traps here, Ryan and Hermione sat down in the middle of the graveyard and began to rest, and by the way, Ryan took out a bottle of water from his bag and handed it to Hermione, after all, they had been walking here for more than an hour, so it was necessary to take a good rest before facing the next challenge.
