Chapter 306: Strange
"Where there is a trap, I think Mr. O'Connor you should return it." Tang Bai said lightly. Even if you don't know anything about this place, the traps and traps here are as unhindered as a stripped beauty in front of an alchemist.
"Wow, what's buried here? Gold? Jewel? Jonathan was originally happily stroking the stone wall, but after hearing Tang Bai's words, he immediately withdrew his hand like an electric shock, but the excitement on his face was not less at all, but became more intense.
"Jonathan, while you're imagining what's in there, you'd better imagine how we're going to get it out?" Evelyn, who was pulled back by O'Connor, unceremoniously replied to her money-hungry brother.
"Master, do you want those condemned prisoners?" Hérault's gaze turned to the nine coarse cloth-wrapped condemned prisoners in the ranks, with nothing on them. And Evelyn and Jonathan also set their eyes on the faces of the nine death row prisoners and Tang Bai.
"No, they're still useful to me." Tang Bai waved his hand.
"And here?" Ero glanced at Tang Bai a little bewildered.
"Stand back gentlemen." Tang Bai waved his hand to both sides, and Jonathan and Ero took a few steps back for some reason, retreated to the wall behind them, and leaned against the wall of the stone wall, subconsciously looking at Tang Bai.
Wand, raised.
The spell sounded.
Under the gaze of everyone's angry eyes, a thick stone slab was attached to the outside of the box. In an instant, it fell apart and shattered. Then a white mist of water sprayed out of the box. Intensely corrosive, the stone slabs and ground around the white fog are eroded and scarred.
The faces of everyone who saw this scene suddenly changed again. O'Connor even had a sense of fear of escaping death. If he had continued on his own way just now, he might have been killed by the extremely corrosive liquid. He couldn't say that he would have to catch up with an Evelyn standing beside him.
"Now it's time to dig." After Tang Bai made sure that there were no other traps inside. Only then did he gesture to Ero and them. Ero, who had already seen Tang Bai's many strange abilities before, immediately commanded the nine death row prisoners to get busy.
"Oh my God, what was that just now?" Evelyn shook off O'Connor's hand holding her arm, and rushed towards Tang Bai with a look of surprise and excitement, her slender palm tightly grasped Tang Bai's right arm, and asked with a flushed face.
Jonathan and O'Connor on the side were not as excited as Evelyn, and Jonathan's mouth was wide open. into a circle. O'Connor, on the other hand, subconsciously pulled out his pistol again, opened the safe, and aimed his gun at Tang Bai. A look of vigilance and nervousness.
"It's just a little bit of magic." Tang Bai replied to Evelyn simply, then turned his head to look at O'Connor, and said again casually: "And Mr. O'Connor, can you change the position of your gun?" Although it is not a threat to me. But I don't want to be pointed at it just like that. ”
More than a dozen muzzles were pointed at O'Connor in an instant with Tang Bai's words. Hérault even motioned for O'Connor to lower his pistol.
"Don't do that! For our sake of what we are about to harvest, don't fight among ourselves! Evelyn was a little at a loss to stand between Tang Bai and O'Connor. As for Jonathan? Seeing that the limelight was not right, he had already quietly rushed from O'Connor's side to Tang Bai's side along the wall.
"Well, you have to forgive a soldier who has been on the battlefield and betrayed by his own commander and companions, they will always be a little sensitive and neurotic." In the face of Evelyn's pleading eyes, O'Connor pulled a pistol in his hand to his fingertips. Inserted back into the holster, he raised his hands and said.
Tang Bai waved his hand. The focus was redirected to the nine condemned prisoners. They have pulled out a cube of the box.
"Hand over the box." Tang Bai beckoned.
If the impression is correct, this box will contain the Bible of the Dead, as well as Ansuna's Kanob altar.
Kanob altar, which means translated Egyptian funeral man.
Funeral urns are vessels used in ancient Egypt to hold the entrails of mummified dead people, and the lids are often in the shape of human heads. Each funeral urn is accompanied by corresponding runes and incantations to prevent the internal organs of the deceased from being violated.
The ancient Egyptian funeral urn is derived from Horus, the patron goddess of the pharaohs in ancient Egyptian mythology and a symbol of kingship. He is portrayed as a god with a mirchick head and a human body. He had four sons, the head of a man, the head of a baboon, the head of a wolf, and the head of an eagle, named Amshet (for the liver), Habi (for the lungs), Domtef (for the stomach), and Kebshanave (for the intestines), and according to the Egyptian belief in funerals, they kept the internal organs of the deceased (liver, lungs, intestines, and stomach except the heart) in four jars.
For Immorton, these funeral men, as well as Ansuna's mummified body, are one of the necessary conditions for Ansuna's resurrection.
Nine condemned prisoners dragged the box in front of Tang Bai. Facing this box, including Ero, there is an urge to try.
"This box has a curse inscribed on it." After Evelyn wiped the dust off the lid of the box, she raised her eyes and glanced at Tang Bai.
"Do you even have to believe that? Rather than the ethereal curse, I think we should open the chest and see what's inside. Maybe the curse was just for scare? Jonathan glanced at his sister behind Hérault, and after saying a word, immediately retracted his back.
O'Connor opened his mouth, but remained silent. If he had been before, he would have been dismissive of things like curses. But now, he, who had seen the evil here, and Tang Bai's eccentricity, had more or less doubts and doubts about this kind of illusory thing.
Tang Bai frowned slightly. He could see the curse engraved on the box, and he could read the ancient characters on it. Although curses have always been associated with wizards, I believe that no wizard is truly willing to put a curse on it. Especially an ancient curse that has been passed down for more than 3,000 years.
No one can say exactly how effective this curse is. Although he believed in his own strength and the ability to save his life, Tang Bai did not have the idea of experiencing it for himself. What made him scratch his head even more was that in order to obtain the Bible of the Dead, this box had to be opened.
I have the impression that the people who opened this box were the Americans. But now, where are the Americans who were supposed to be here? A strange look flashed through Tang Bai's heart.
Suddenly, a dense burst of gunfire rushed into the ears of Tang Bai and the others, causing everyone who had been vigilant because of the surrounding environment to pull out their firearms one after another and look around nervously. And O'Connor, who was extremely sensitive to the sound of gunshots, subconsciously tensed his muscles at the moment when the gunshots rang out, and his knees were slightly bent to cover Evelyn behind him.
