Chapter 012: Scorpion Bracelet

After confirming that there was no threat, Lin Xiao strode to the end of the passage and raised his foot to kick the brick wall that was not very strong.

"Boom."

The earthen wall, which has a history of more than 2,000 years, simply collapsed, and after Qin Yan also came out, this special escape passage collapsed like the secret room inside, burying all the secrets inside under the yellow sand.

Under the bright moonlight, Lin Xiao took a deep breath of fresh air, and a sense of irritability for no reason suddenly surged into his heart. This sense of irritability came so suddenly, that Lin Xiao, who had always been calm and calm, also showed a tangled look on his face.

Qin Yan, who had been secretly paying attention to Lin Xiao, also noticed that something was wrong with Lin Xiao, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with you?" ”

Lin Xiao didn't answer, and his brain began to spin rapidly.

"Something was missing, I must have missed something, but what had I forgotten?"

The Ark of the Covenant, Cairo, the Word of God, Immorton, Van Helsing, and so on, Van Helsing!

One thought after another intertwined in his mind, and after a while, Lin Xiao finally let out a long breath:

“…… I have a rough idea of what the task of getting the Ark of the Covenant is only a C grade. ”

Such a sentence immediately made Sister Qin Yu interested.

"Getting the Ark of the Covenant is not the end but a new beginning, and continuing to have it is a hidden task that is not explained or rewarded...... The level is about B or A.,If you hide somewhere, it's estimated that nine out of ten will be found and taken away by others.,If you hold the ark of the covenant, you'll be watched by the Catholic Church in this world.,If we're not demons and vampires, maybe we'll be co-opted.,But now it's estimated that meeting is a never-ending situation.。

And because it is the Ark of the Covenant, a supreme holy object that is more noble than the Holy Grail in Jesus' last supper, it is unlikely that they will appear at the beginning with the highest level of strength but they will not send rookies over, but even the highest strength will not reach the level where they can ignore the army, otherwise the war mode of warships and cannons will really be rewritten into a direct confrontation of mass destruction magic. ”

And as he said this, a strange smile suddenly appeared on Lin Xiao's face.

"It is still impossible to estimate the specific strength of them when they arrive, but it seems that it will not be us who will bump into them first~ If there is no accident, when they arrive in Cairo first, these people will first happen to bump into Immorton who is about to conquer the world - it was just a matter of pretending to be out of sight, but since they saw it with their own eyes and there were people watching on the side, how could the duty of expelling evil also start first...... Is this a disaster for pond fish? ”

“……”

Regarding the focus of this sudden jump, Qin Yan, whose expression was a little numb, had nothing to say at all.

This is simply a standard pit teammate, or unconsciously let people take the initiative to step into it...... However, even if he knew the situation, he did not stop this behavior.

After a pause, Lin Xiao exhaled:

"Then, the trouble that will be caused by taking over the Ark of the Covenant is basically like this, and then the value of the Ark of the Covenant can be assessed for the time being......"

Almost all of the Bible's accounts of the Ark of the Covenant focus on its great power, such as the razing of mountains, the destruction of armies, the extermination of cities, and so on. In the conquest of Jericho, the Hebrews carried the ark of the covenant and blew the ram's horns, and the walls were immediately blown down, and Jericho was easily captured.

This principle is still relatively easy to guess, it is nothing more than the energy collected into a large-scale attack, nine percent of the energy is the so-called power of faith, the attack method according to the description in the Bible includes thunder and lightning, lasers, shock waves, etc., and the description effect is basically a nuclear bomb level of the city-level mass destruction weapon.

Qin Yan said with a little excitement: "Then didn't we get a big killing weapon?" ”

"You're thinking too much," Lin Xiao complained and shook his head very dryly: "The opening of the Ark of the Covenant requires real noble church personnel, at least godly saints of God, as for me, forget it." ”

According to the Bible, only priests were allowed to approach the Ark of the Covenant, ordinary people would die if they came near because of their sins, and the Ark of the Covenant did not always bring good luck to its owner.

In 1050 B.C., the Felix defeated the Hebrews, took possession of the Ark of the Covenant, and brought it back to their city of Ekron. Soon, however, the artifact was painful to the people of Felix. They put the Ark of the Covenant in the temple, only to find the head and hands of Felix's idol "the dragon" missing the next day! And the people of Ekoron were stricken with terrible leprosy, and the painful plague did not cease until they returned the Ark to the Hebrews.

Judging from this case, the Ark of the Covenant also has some kind of automatic identification system, and has a special ability that cannot be described in exact language for the time being, but this ability should only have an effect if the Ark of the Covenant has been opened, and the people who have come into contact with the Ark of the Covenant in "Raiders of the Lost Ark 1: The Ark of the Law" did not happen to either the Nazi officers or Jones, until the Ark of the Covenant was opened, and a thunderbolt appeared to kill all the "guilty" people of the Nazi officers.

Getting the Ark of the Covenant, the impact of a short period of time may not be obvious, but it prompted Lin Xiao to change his decision to stay in this time for a long time to earn points - the longer the time, the more uncertain factors, the greater the danger!

From the time they entered the secret room where the Ark of the Covenant was sealed to the end when the two of them returned to the ground, in fact, even if the middle series of conversation time was added, only ten minutes had passed.

But looking at the bright night sky overhead, both of them felt refreshed. - Compared to the cave full of snakes and rats, and filled with the rancid smell of mummies, this is indeed paradise.

After this task was completed, Lin Xiao's magic power and spirit were consumed a lot. So the two stopped hurrying, found a hotel, and began to rest.

Early the next morning, the two found the bazaar in Cairo, and after paying the price of two gold bars, they successfully rented a punk steamboat, and sped towards the temple of Akkadian in the rising sun.

When the sun rose in the east again and the darkness disappeared under the dawn, Lin Xiao and Qin Yan finally saw the destination of this trip.

It is an ancient capital city that is no bigger than the Tower of Hamna, but not too small, with towering stone pillars, quaint statues, and walls that show the marks of time to announce the glory days it has experienced.

As can be seen from the opening clip of the movie "Legend of Gods and Ghosts 2: The Return of the Mummy", this is the city that the Scorpion King Mozius finally conquered after exchanging his soul for an army, and it is also the capital of the kingdom that once made him finally defeated after seven years of hard battles.

5,000 years ago, this ancient city was once glorious, but the ravages of the Reaper's legion when they conquered it destroyed almost all the outlying buildings, and only the temple dedicated to Horus in the center of the city was still intact, so much so that during the Theban Dynasty, which later ruled Egypt, it was used by the pharaohs to seal the Scorpion King's bracelet left after the Scorpion Emperor's return to the underworld, and set up loyal guards to guard it strictly in case the Reaper legion reappeared.

Temple of Akkadian.

After paying a gold brick and deliberately revealing the golden glittering pockets, the Arab who drove the airship patted his chest with a smile and promised that he would definitely stop in place, and when Lin Xiao and the others returned from their adventure, they would never move half a step.

Walking into the dilapidated temple, feeling the antiquity and grandeur of the former temple from the desolation, the two slowly walked into the secret room that had been sealed in the dust for three thousand years.

And the moment the two of them stepped into the tunnel, the juggernaut's prompt sound had already sounded.

"Successfully get the Scorpion King's Bracelet of Death within 30 minutes, reward points 3000 reward points, count one C-level side plot, and if you fail to complete it in 30 minutes, the mausoleum will collapse, and 5000 reward points will be deducted."

Just like when you got the Ark of the Covenant before, you have to complete the quest within a limited time, but there will definitely be a follow-up to this quest, such as reaching the Amshei Oasis to open it and get the Scorpion King's treasure.

After entering, it was another scene that made people's scalps tingle, at least Qin Yan had already covered her mouth, and her face was indescribably disgusting and helpless. Look at the thickness of the cobwebs on it is as old as this tomb, and at first glance it looks like a black carpet has been laid on the ground, although this carpet is more weird and will squirm on its own, but if you look closely at what kind of carpet it is in the past, it is clear that there are hundreds of black scorpions!

And among these small things with poisonous needles, there are still a few white bones belonging to humans scattered around, and a few scorpions happen to be nesting in the eye sockets of the skull...... It was probably a tomb robber who had come in from another source, and had gone through a lot of trouble to reach his destination, only to be killed by these scorpions.

The people watching this scene are really a little creepy, and even Lin Xiao, a guy with big nerves, is a little hairy.

Lin Xiao snorted, raised his hand and released the wall of flames, a wall of flames more than one meter high and more than ten meters long, began to slowly push in the tomb, and suddenly a series of dense "crackling" sounds sounded, and the strange fragrance slowly wafted and penetrated into the nostrils.

These are just ordinary scorpions, they crawled in from the corner after the tomb was sealed, and the flesh and blood of those corpses multiplied on their own, and they may have been affected by some yin qi, but at least they didn't show anything unusual on the outside...... It may be a little bit toxic, but as long as you don't get stung, it's fine.

However, the difficulty of being stung by scorpions is actually quite high, these things are not much faster than lobsters that come ashore, and their heavy carapace makes them almost the bottom of the arthropods.
