Chapter 18: The Collapsed Stone Statue

Under the quicksand, inside the mausoleum. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Charles and Cassie were sitting on the ground, eating the dry food provided by Charles, while listening to Pharaoh Amumu, oh no, Atum, tell stories about this mausoleum and this lost city.

"This mausoleum where you are is is a pyramid built for me by my tribe to absorb the power of the sun! And I'm the prince of this territory! ”

"It's just you, or the prince, I don't believe it!" Charles chewed his bread and said disdainfully.

Cassie took a sip of water and didn't speak.

"You're clearly jealous of me! Shorty! ”

"If you have the ability, come out, and call me a little man again, I have to beat you up!"

"If you have the ability, you can find me in my coffin!"

“……”

"I'm afraid!"

"You have the ability to come out!"

"You have the ability to come in!"

"Don't make a fuss, Charles, listen to him continue." Cassie said coldly.

"Humph!" Charles caught a glimpse of Cassie's piercing eyes and hurriedly turned his head away.

"Humph! I have been suffering from a strange disease since I was a child, and my father, in order to let me live, prayed to the then Master Landry to cast a spell to save me, and it was at that time that I met the legendary Master Landry. ”

"But my illness is so severe that the master said that my body and spirit have begun to be rejected, so my body must be sealed and only my spirit remains. Master Landry wrapped my entire body around my whole body with a strange rune bandage and told me it was a spell called 'Mummy'! ”

"Later, my physical body was sealed in this pyramid, but my spiritual power has been greatly enhanced, I have been living here by relying on my strong spiritual power, Lord Landry said that when my spiritual power grows strong enough, I can get rid of the shackles of my physical body and rune bandages and get a new life!"

"I was in this pyramid, silently absorbing the sun's energy, occasionally my father and mother would come to see me, I felt very relieved, until one day, I suddenly felt the whole pyramid was shaking, I don't know what happened outside, but I can feel the continuous solar energy before, suddenly stopped, even the father and mother who occasionally came to see me never came again, just like that, I spent year after year in the dark, alone."

"You said you've been on this...... Uh, pyramid, so how do you know where that torture is? Charles asked, confused.

"It's Landry's torture, you little man! Are you questioning the words of my Pharaoh Atum! ”

"Questioning? I don't believe you at all, okay? ”

"If you have the ability, you come into my coffin, I promise not to kill you!"

"You have the ability to come out!"

"Charles!"

“…… Miss, it's obvious that he provoked me first! ”

"Coward little man!"

"Try it again! Oops! Hurt! ”

"Charles, be quiet for a while! Amu ......, oh no, Atum, what about the future, how did you know the whereabouts of Master Landry's artifact? ”

"Because, Master Landry, it was in my pyramid that he was killed by the gods!"

On the other side, carefully following the man in black all the way, Galen and the two walked through countless ruins and walls, and without attracting the attention of the man in black, the two got as close and close as possible.

However, when they tracked down a huge square, they had to give up on getting closer, choosing to wait for a better time to catch up again.

The man in black ran through the square, his steady and regular footsteps echoing in this empty city, as if he was the owner of this city, admiring his long-lost hometown. He even looked at the elaborate statue at the dry fountain in the center of the square, grabbed the yellow sand piled up in the basin, and let it slide between his fingers.

Seeing the man in black leisurely enjoying his leisure time there, Galen and Carter hid behind a broken wall, not daring to make a sound, and the two leaned side by side on the broken wall, pricking up their ears and waiting for the footsteps to sound again.

Tread, step, step.

The sound of slow footsteps sounded again, and Galen, who had been waiting for a long time and was about to fall asleep, and Carter, who had closed his eyes and recuperated, opened their eyes at the same time, and then looked at each other!

Galen felt that something was not right, how did he feel that Carter's eyes were right in front of him?

Belch!

It seems a little too close!

The tips of the noses of the two people touched together!

Then, Galen's eyes widened and Carter narrowed!

There is a murderous aura!

Galen slowly stepped back, then looked down and saw a short knife against his lower abdomen!

Galen immediately changed to a serious face, one hand in front of his face, waved again and again, and then desperately glanced in the direction of the square!

Carter understood, and the corners of his mouth twitched on his cold face, and he glared at Galen, and then put away his short knife.

Galen breathed a heavy sigh of relief, recalling Carter's close face just now, Galen couldn't help but feel a little excited, but when he saw Carter's fierce eyes, he immediately became serious again, leaned on the wall, and began to listen carefully to the footsteps coming from the square,

Waiting for the footsteps to go away, Galen peeked his head out of the broken wall to see what was going on outside.

"He seems to have walked into that big house over there!" Galen whispered as he saw the black figure flash into the magnificent building across the square.

"Wait, we go over now, we will definitely be discovered, this square is empty, it is easy to be discovered!"

Carter looked from the other side and said, then, she took a few strips of cloth from her fanny pack and tied them to her feet as she said, "Tie the strips of cloth to your feet so that we don't have much movement when we pass!" ”

Galen's eyes lit up, and he admired Carter's little skills very much, and hurriedly took the strip of cloth and tied it to his feet.

After tying strips of cloth around their feet, the two waited patiently for a while.

"Let's go!"

Carter gave the order, and the two of them turned around and sneakily approached the building where the man in black had just entered.

This magnificent building, I don't know what it was used for before, its grandeur has far surpassed the other buildings around, on the front wall, twenty-eight dozens of people high circular giant pillars support the layers of ceilings, carved on both sides of the gate with delicate reliefs, there are two huge beast-headed statues!

Galen and Carter each tiptoed to the sides of the two beast-headed figures and stopped.

Galen looked up at the huge beast-headed figure beside him, even though it was as large as him, it seemed so small.

Carter gave Galen a wink, motioning for himself to take a look before making a decision.

Just as Carter was about to poke his head out to look, a small, strange sound came into her ears.

Carter's brow furrowed, and the voice seemed to come from a very close distance.

So, Carter gently pressed his ear to the stone statue, listening carefully to the small voice coming from the stone statue.

Click, click!

A small voice came into Carter's ears, and Carter frowned even deeper, what kind of sound was this?

At this time, a small piece of gravel snapped and hit Galen's face.

Immediately afterward, Galen, who was full of strangeness, saw cracks appear on the two beast-headed statues!

Weathered stone is peeling off the cracked stone statues!

Then, the whole stone statue began to crumble!

"Carter! Come on! ”

Galen no longer bothered to expose his whereabouts, and shouted with a hiss.

Carter also noticed something was wrong, and in an instant, he moved to safety.

Galen ran to Carter's side and watched as the two stone statues collapsed into two beast-headed monsters!

One, it's a kobold!

One, it's a crocodile-headed human body!
