Chapter 02: The Battle of the Mummies (2)

The white light flashed in front of them, and after waking up, the four of them appeared in the corner of a huge square. The square was bustling with people, most of the men were wearing white robes, and the women were wearing colorful skirts, and their pupils were deep and exotic.

In addition to Lin Xiao and the four of them, there were more than a dozen adventurers, standing or sitting silently, waiting for the master to release the task.

It didn't take long for a crisp prompt to sound:

"Mission Scenario: Legends of Gods and Demons 1: Battle of the Mummies."

"The main quest is to protect O'Connor, Eve, and Jonathan from dying, and bury the undead sacrifice Immorton. 1,000 points will be deducted for each death, and if all three people die, the mission will fail, and those with insufficient points will be wiped out when the final settlement is completed. ”

"This mission mode is a free mode, adventurers can attack each other, and after killing hostile adventurers, they can randomly inherit a piece of each other's inheritance."

"In this mission scenario, weapons of mass destruction must not be used, and weapons that are more than 50 years old in current technology cannot be used."

Juggernaut's hints are as simple as ever, with no mention of hidden quests, side plots, and the like. It's all up to the adventurers to dig out on their own, and the means are extremely bad. And it always paradoxically encourages adventurers to fight each other, with ill intentions.

After hearing that it was free mode, the adventurers suddenly became wary of each other. And after hearing about the restriction of large-scale weapons and future weapons, several adventurers immediately jumped to their feet and cursed. It is obviously a strengthener who takes the route of science and technology, and under the restrictions of the master, his strength has plummeted by half.

Lin Xiao sat lazily on the ground, ignoring the vigilance of others, and began to seriously think about the plot of the mission.

Legend of Gods and Ghosts......

The story was born in 1290 BC, the Egyptian high priest Immorton and the pharaoh's concubine Ansuna had an adulterous relationship, and when the two sides committed adultery, they were inadvertently bumped into by the pharaoh Seti I, Immorton immediately joined forces with Ansuna to kill the pharaoh, and then Ansuna was forced to kill by the pharaoh's guards.

In order to save his lover, Immorton took great risks to steal Ansuna's body from the tomb, and entered the tombs of the pharaohs and the place where the treasures were accumulated, the tower of the dead, he took out the holy book that can control death, the black bible, and then placed Ansuna's internal organs in five holy bottles, and then used the mysterious spell on the black bible, summoned Ansuna's soul back from the underworld, and saw that the ritual was about to be successfully completed. The ritual was interrupted by the Pharaoh's guards, and Ansuna's soul was forced back into the underworld.

Immorton and his monks were severely punished by the guards, and the monks were mummified alive, and Immorton was betrayed to the most horrific punishment in Egyptian history because he killed the pharaoh and disturbed the peace of the dead, and he was devoured by insects, cut off his tongue, wrapped his whole body in the shape of a mummy, and then placed alive in an iron coffin, and poured a cannibal beetle in the coffin, the Egyptian scarab, and let these beetles slowly devour Immorton, Let him feel that his body is slowly being eaten when he dies, which is a desperate fear like falling into hell. Because this punishment is so vicious, and it is said that the person who has received this punishment, if he returns from the underworld again, will become a monster that destroys Egypt with infinite power!

“…… This is basically the story of the legend of gods and ghosts, it was thousands of years ago, until three years ago, that is, in 1923, a group of soldiers accidentally found the legendary city, the capital of the dead, Hamna Tower, because there were treasures hidden by the pharaohs of the past, so the group of soldiers tried to open the tomb there, but when they opened the tomb, they were attacked by the descendants of the pharaoh's guards, judging from the movie, it seems that only two people escaped from that attack, One is naturally O'Connor, the male protagonist of the movie, while the other is Benny, the villain in the movie, who is devoured by countless scarab beetles at the end. ”

This is the general background of the legend of gods and ghosts. And the next plot is that the heroine Eve for archaeology, and O'Connor went to dig the capital of the dead, on the way, because she didn't listen to the dissuasion, recited the wrong spell and woke up the immortal sacrifice of the thousand-year-old monster, and then the immortal sacrifice began bloody revenge, and the ten plagues of Egypt were confirmed one by one, and the protagonist killed Immorton and sent him back to hell by virtue of human luck. "Everyone, please listen to me." There was a middle-aged man, carrying a tomahawk on his back, with a straight face, and raised his voice: "Although this mission is also a free mode, everyone who has watched the movie knows the horror of Immorton, right?" The undead that can't be killed at any time, the terrifying Ten Plagues of Egypt, and the dust storm that has flooded the city, these monsters cannot be fought by one person, and we need to join forces to fight the enemy. "Hmph, you're exaggerating, aren't you?" An adventurer retorted: "Although Immorton is powerful, but as adventurers, we naturally know that the Sun Sutra is his nemesis, when the time comes, we will dig out the Sun Sutra first, and when Eve wakes up Immorton, we will immediately curse and kill him, isn't the mission OK?" "It's not as simple as you think." The middle-aged strong man shook his head: "I heard someone say in the tavern that the Bible of the Dead and the Sutra of the Sun are quest props that cannot be used by adventurers, and they are of no use to us, only the protagonist can exert its power." "Shall we just keep Eve under control?" Someone asked rhetorically. "yes, it's just an NPC anyway, and when the time comes, we'll give her some money, and we're afraid she won't help us?"

The middle-aged strong man smiled bitterly: "I hope so, but do you think the Juggernaut will give us such a simple task?" “”“

Everyone was silent, indeed, if it was followed, the task would be too simple, it could be said that it was just a trip here. But will it really be that simple?

The protection time was lost in an instant, and the bustling crowd saw the group of adventurers in strange costumes, and immediately kept pointing and pointing.

"Where are we now?" Someone shouted dissatisfiedly: "These foreigners treat us like monkeys!" “

Lin Xiao smiled slightly and said, "Look over there." ”

Hundreds of meters away, a decadent blonde man was being driven by two soldiers to the gallows, and a group of people were already watching below, all with excitement on their faces.

"Damn! Isn't that O'Connor?! ”

"It turns out that at the beginning of the plot, this guy is about to be executed!"

"Then what are you waiting for, hurry up and save him!"

"Don't mess around, everyone didn't mess around, it was the heroine who saved him in the original plot, and if we interfere indiscriminately, maybe it will ruin the plot."

“”

A crowd of people was arguing in a mess, but everyone quickly gathered under the gallows to prevent something from happening to O'Connor.

In the crowd, Qin Yan asked in a low voice, "What should we do?" ”

Lin Xiao shrugged: "Cold salad!" ”

The male protagonist O'Connor is the only one of the two who escaped from the Tower of Hamna, where he obtained the key to open Immorton's coffin, and at the same time, this key can also open the Bible of the Dead and the Resurrection Sutra, in short, it is a very important prop in the whole movie, but when he was fighting with someone in a bar, he was stolen by the heroine's brother, and the heroine Eve went to the legendary city of the dead, Hamnata, which triggered the follow-up plot.

And here, it's just where the plot begins.
