Chapter 263: The Scorpion King
"Who are you?" The sturdy cowboy with a pair of gloomy eyes at the head held the pistol straddling his waist, and looked coldly at the sudden appearance of the oriental face in front of him. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
In these chaotic times, there are countless people who travel around the world in search of wealth and a better life. Naturally, there are countless stories that arise from wealth. This era is not the peaceful world that will be decades later, this era is the same in both the East and the West.
It's a crazy time and everyone is crazy to survive.
"I'm a passer-by, and I just wanted to ask what time it is." There was a harmless smile on the face of the promise. He already knew what the three cowboys were going to do, and what was in the heavy box they were carrying. Promises are still very respectful to those who are about to die.
"Look up over there yourself." Cowboys don't want to be eventful at this time. After all, it's a busy station. He raised his hand and pointed to a large bell not far away, "There's a bell there." ”
"Thank you." Promise gave them a deep look, smiled and turned to leave.
"Questions?" The horse boy next to him stepped forward and asked in a low voice, and made a cut gesture "Do you want to ......"
"Don't be too troubled." The strong man with cold eyes glanced at the promise that walked towards the guards, and shook his head slightly, "Do serious things first, and get our 100,000 yuan in hand!" ”
They weren't afraid, in fact, the hands of the three cowboys were already covered in blood. Human life in this era is not valuable. They just don't want to cause more trouble.
The three cowboys soon got on the old-fashioned coal-fired train that was parked on the platform. And the promise, who had been watching all this from a short distance, smiled, and then the figure flashed and sneaked into the train unconsciously.
The Scorpion King is a legendary story. It is said that 5,000 years ago, a powerful king, the Scorpion King, appeared on the African continent and tried to conquer the world with his army. However, this invincible army rushed to the ancient Egyptian empire under the leadership of the Scorpion King, and was defeated in a war that lasted for several years.
Originally, there are many stories of myths and legends around the world, and there is nothing to make a fuss about. It's just that in this world, this myth is real. The Scorpion King was defeated and fled into a desert. And the name of that desolate desert is Amsha.
The Scorpion King, who was about to die in the desolate desert, could not resist the threat of death. He swore to the Grim Reaper that he was willing to give everything he had, both his life and his soul, to Anubis. As long as the Grim Reaper can let him defeat the enemy and let him live.
Then, the Grim Reaper accepted his oath and instead of taking his life, he became the leader of the Grim Reaper's legion.
Amshe, the originally incomparably desolate desert, has also turned into an incomparably huge oasis under the divine power of death. The Scorpion King, on the other hand, leads the invincible army of the Reaper to completely defeat his enemies and take revenge.
Oaths are generally not something that can be made casually. This is especially true in a world of gods. After fulfilling the agreement with the Scorpion King, the Grim Reaper took his soul and placed him and the invincible Grim Reaper army in the pyramid of the Amshei Oasis. Waiting for 5,000 years to awaken again.
The promised mission of the ring was to kill the Scorpion King. Of course, as the commander of the Reaper Legion, the Scorpion King is not something that any cat or dog can see and challenge. If you want to challenge the Scorpion King, the premise is to have the Scorpion King's bracelet. This is the map and the key to awakening the Scorpion King.
It is not enough to awaken the Scorpion King, because the promised task is to kill it.
However, after dedicating his soul to the Grim Reaper and becoming the leader of the Grim Reaper's legion, the Scorpion King already had an immortal body. The most hated thing about people like Promise is the immortal body. Because even if you can beat it, it won't be long before people will come back to life in full health. Who can not be angry when this kind of thing happens?
The Scorpion King's immortal body was bestowed by Anubis, the god of death. If you want to break it, you must have at least the same power as Anubis. Promised that if he had powers similar to those of the gods, he would not have to run around the world to do tasks.
If you can't break the power set by the gods, you can only use the rules of the gods. And that rule is the Spear of Judgment. A legendary artifact that can kill the Scorpion King. The first thing he promised to complete his quest to remove the curse from Annihilation was to obtain the Bracelet and the Spear of Judgment.
Since the three cowboys got on the train with Immorton's things before, according to the plot of the movie, this is the time when Immorton, the big boss, is on his way to Amsheh Oasis. The little boy with the bracelet should have been in the car at this time. As for the Spear of Judgment, you can get it by following the little boy. All of this is a benefit of knowing the plot well.
Of course, according to the theory of the ring, the more promises are made, the more things are changed. So Promise decided to keep a low profile as much as possible, and only show up when needed. This may minimize the impact on the world's original trajectory.
The Scorpion King promised not to worry too much, after all, with the skill of the promise, as long as he could get the Judgment Spear with a fatal blow, then it would not be too much of a problem to kill the Scorpion King. His concern lies in the boss, Immorton, the high priest of ancient Egypt.
It was an ancient high priest with three thousand years of mana. Familiar with all kinds of spells and spells, this kind of person or monster promises that he has no interest in fighting. After all, his understanding and ability in this aspect of spells is almost zero. Those who attack the enemy's strengths with their own shortcomings are stupid.
When I promised to get into the car quietly, I already felt inexplicable palpitations. There is a strong presence on this train. The promise didn't mean to provoke him, because he wasn't his target.
The train quickly left the station and headed along the tracks into the desert beyond. And it didn't take long for the promise hidden in the last carriage to suddenly feel a strong aura rising into the sky, like a seed buried in the ground that instantly grew into a towering tree.
Xu Yu grinned, looked at the whole carriage around him, the turkeys, live sheep and even camels that were panicked by the outburst of breath, and shook his head slightly. It seems that the three hapless cowboys have been hung up as sacrifices. As an ordinary person, participating in this kind of game is an inevitable consequence. Greed is always the greatest original sin.
It was clear that Immorton's mana had been fully restored. Fortunately, Promise was in a carriage full of all kinds of live livestock, and it was difficult for Immorton to sense his presence.
However, although it was safe for the time being, another problem soon appeared. As soon as Promise appeared in this world, he hurriedly got in the car and prepared to go to the Amsey Oasis. There was nothing on him. Not to mention weapons or anything, there is not even the most basic food and water.
Although in terms of the physical fitness of Xu at this time, not eating and drinking for a long time will not affect him. But when the stomach growls, the feeling of hunger and thirst is not lacking. I have to say that the promise of gradually becoming more fond of enjoyment cannot bear this kind of thing.
Although there are a large number of poultry and livestock around, it is a pity that the promise cannot be used to drink blood. He loves the fine food that has been cooked. Even if the environment doesn't allow it, at least cooked food.
Fortunately, although the train is always on the way, it still occasionally stops in some towns. Promise to seize the opportunity to take advantage of the parking opportunity to run to the town and empty gloves white wolf.
Of course, the promise wasn't enough for everyone to do it, and he wasn't so mad yet. He always picks some local rich people to help, just to get some food.
Time flew by and the train stopped near a huge temple. Everyone left the train with all their gear and creatures, and the promise was no exception. It's just that his figure is very well hidden, and no one has noticed him.
"Clever little one." Perched on a beam hidden at the top of the temple, Promise looked slightly sideways at the little boy wearing the Scorpion King bracelet below, with a smile on his lips.
Wearing the bracelet of the Scorpion King, you must reach the pyramid within seven days, or you will die. And once you put it on, you can't take it off, and the way to Amshe, the land of the gods, will only be known to those who wear the bracelet. Once a person dies, he can only wait for the next time to open, and the next time he needs to open it for 5,000 years.
These harsh conditions forced all those who wanted to enter Amshah to never let the child die until they officially arrived. Xu thought the same thing, so he followed closely behind the child. Just watch as this clever kid delivers information by pouring water and living sand to build a model of where he's going next. This information is also useful to him.
Promise knew that the spear of judgment that had been earmarked for the purpose of the child was in the hands of the child's uncle at this time. And the boy's uncle will soon be here.
The next day, Promise followed Immorton's team from a distance in the direction of Philae's Temple Island. After following the road for a while, Xu Promise made a note of the nearby scenery, and then his figure disappeared into the air in a flash.
"Alex left the tie and piled a sandcastle for us." The little boy's mother, Eve, an archaeologist who is said to be the reincarnation of an ancient Egyptian princess, held her husband's hand tightly, "It's the island of the temple of Philae, what a smart child." ”
"Hmm. A smart kid indeed. Promise's stunned voice startled Eve and the others. When they hurriedly turned around to resist, Promise had already deceived themselves into coming to their side.
Promise not to have too much contact with the characters in the movie. Promise only to be busy with his own business unless necessary. Whether the people here are good or bad, there is only one word for promise, and that is useful people. As long as it is useful, there will be no psychological burden on what he does. Compared to being trapped here for 5,000 years, he promised to do anything in order to complete the mission.
After a series of lightning-fast punches and kicks, he promised to subdue several people soon. Several people didn't even have time to see the promise clearly. Looking at the few people lying on the ground and moaning, Xu Promise checked the guns in his hand, and looked at the few people with a smile on his face, "May I ask where is Mr. Jonathan?"
