Chapter 229: Chaos
It was a busy camp with campfires, weapons, tents, and a mix of them. Although it was late at night, the camp was still very lively. From the outside, this is a military camp. In the largest tent in the center, three drooping old men stood in front of a table, and in addition to the three old men, there were more than a dozen burly young men, all of whom had a neat mark on their arms, the mark of the Pharaoh's guard.
Eddie, who once led the Grave Keepers in battle against the army of the dead, has become the voice of the Grave Keepers and the outside world in the past few years. This handsome uncle still retains his handsome beard, but at this moment his face is full of solemnity.
On the table is a map of the vicinity of the Hamna Tower. The location of the Tower of Hamna on the map has been replaced by a blood-red X, and next to this huge X, there are countless small red X's. Dense red X's occupy the vast majority of the map, forming a gradual red circle.
"Haven't you heard from the scouts yet?" Eddie asked a young man standing by the door.
If Wen Zhong was here, he would definitely be able to recognize this unlucky kid as the actor he had planned to praise in the studio - Li Suxing.
However, it was obvious that the answer was no, so Li Zhuxing shook his head and said, "Ten of the thirteen scout teams sent out have returned, but nothing has been found. According to the previous law of the fog dispersing, two additional scout teams were sent to the next location that was about to happen, and they still haven't come back, I'm afraid that it will be more than lucky! ”
Add sighed and took out a red pen and drew a red X on a spot on the map. Looking at the map, the perimeter has been enlarged even more! The old man on the side stood up and said, "Add, the current situation in the City of the Dead is no longer something that the Tomb Keepers can stop, it's time to ask outsiders for help!" ”
Add was about to speak, but there was a commotion outside the tent. Everyone hurriedly walked out, only to see a pair of people rushing into the camp from outside the camp with billowing smoke and dust. Soon the horses crossed the camp and stopped directly outside the tent, and the two girls fell off their horses.
Ani and Wang Yun got up, patted off the sand on their bodies, and said, "Chief, the fog has spread again. In addition to the werewolf soldiers, the army in the mist also includes mummies! The legions of the dead are spreading! ”
"Anything else you found? What about the others? The young man in charge of the scout walked out and asked.
There was a hint of sadness on their faces, but they shook their heads neatly.
All along, the scope of the fog has been increasing, but the pharaoh's guards don't know what is hidden in the fog. Just as he had faced the Scorpion King's army, before Eddie had returned from the West, an army of Grave Keepers had broken into the fog and fought the Legion of the Dead once.
The result is naturally self-evident, but the news brought by the people who came back at that time was only the location of the Hamna Tower, and a city of the dead appeared, and the city of the dead was guarded by the army that Anubis had lent to the Scorpion King, the Wolf-headed Legion.
Only this time, the news brought back by the two scouts clearly told everyone present that those humans who died in the legion of the dead did not enter the underworld, but stayed in the human world and were mummified.
"It seems that we can only look for help from outsiders!" Add sighed, "There's no need to send out scouts, withdraw everyone, and don't make any more unnecessary sacrifices until I bring reinforcements!" Apparently, Add was planning to ask his friend for help again.
Looking at the figure of Aditzerma in the distance, the three drooping old men stood without saying a word, but the few young Zhuang factions behind them were talking about it. The first bird is naturally a classmate of Li Zhuxing, this uncle does not have Eddie's good temperament, his face is a little worried and whispered to the three old men: "Relying on those worldly people, isn't it a bit nonsense?" ”
"In the mist of a dry desert, could there be anything more? Go back, follow Add's orders, and wait for reinforcements to arrive! One of the three old men said slowly, beckoning the two old men to walk back again.
As the crowd dispersed, only the thankless Li Zhuxing remained, standing in place with a cloudy and uncertain face.
...
On the other side, a figure walks lonely in the desert.
Wen Zhong was saddened to find that those wolf-headed people did not bring trouble to him, but instead gave him endless despair in the endless desert. Although there were many traces on the ground, after a violent gust of wind and sand, Wen Zhong was desperate to realize that he was lost again.
This time, there were no spectators around him, not even any reminders to get, so he could only walk helplessly alone in the desert. The most unacceptable thing is that these werewolf-headed soldiers and mummies, after being killed, directly turned into a cloud of flying ashes. Monsters that don't explode any equipment are simply stingy at home. So at this time, Wen Zhong has no equipment other than a dagger and a scimitar, oh yes... And a jug of water.
As the so-called start of a person, not even a dog, this can be described as the most fantastic start.
Wen Zhong sighed and began to walk towards the depths of the mist...
...
Far away in England, in a large luxurious villa.
A teenager pushed open the door and walked in, this room was supposed to be a study, and the study was full of books. From the room of books, it can be seen that the owner of this room is a person who loves archaeology. In addition to many archaeological books on Egypt, there are also a series of books on the history and literature of Eastern Europe, Feng Shui in the East, and so on.
There wasn't anyone in the room, and the boy knew that. Without hesitation, he ran straight to one of the shelves, pulled out a book called "History of Egypt", and quickly slipped out of the study. It's just that a few minutes after he left, the books on the shelves fell into a piece because they lost a certain balance point.
"Alex! What did we agree on? A voice came from another room, apparently hearing the collapse of books in the study. Immediately after a sound of footsteps, Evelyn, the heroine of the first part, walked out of the room, so there is no doubt that it was Alex, the little ghost of the second part, who just ran out of the study. After three years, this little ghost has grown into an eleven or two-year-old boy.
If it weren't for the fact that he was played by a sixteen-year-old boy, perhaps this image would be more convincing!
