Chapter 225: Death Race "Two in One Chapter"
"Who the hell are you?" I heard that Zhang Yao was not Egyptian, nor was he Sudanese. Camper and his big friends are in a mood like a roller coaster, and they are really up and down.
"It's not for you to worry about who I am. You can just keep doing what you want when I don't exist! Zhang Yao floated in the air, did not answer this somewhat silly question, but pointed to the cracked wall, and made a gesture of please to the two dozen people in the field.
With Zhang Yao's movements, he was a little cold for a while.
The more than 20 Sudanese who were still alive all looked at Kanbo, after all, in the battle just now, Kanbo's combat effectiveness was undoubtedly the highest among everyone. As a matter of course, he became the temporary leader of these people.
"Kanbo, this person doesn't seem to be in a good mood, we have to be careful." An old Sudanese whispered close to Kampo's side.
"I know, but what's the use of knowing. We can't afford to offend this person. Hearing the old man's words, Camper looked helpless.
Zhang Yao, a stranger of unknown origin, has a series of actions with some kind of purpose. Although Kanbo didn't know what Zhang Yao's purpose was, he didn't think it would be a good thing for the Sudanese to come.
However, strength speaks louder than words. Just like Sima Zhao's heart is already known to passers-by, but the Cao Wei regime is still overthrown.
Although Kan Bo had bitter words in his heart, he knew that he had no strength to resist, especially before Zhang Yao completely showed his malice, and he was even more unwilling to establish a strong enemy.
"Let's go." With no sadness or joy on his face, Kambo whispered to the two dozen or so Sudanese around him, swept away all the weapons that could be collected in the room, and rushed into the cracked passage.
Zhang Yao, who had been observing Camper's reflection, nodded imperceptibly after seeing Cambo's movements.
His gaze swept over the room, the scattered mummies, and flew towards the passage with the same leisurely contentment.
"There are so many gems, all of them are good sapphires, and we have made a fortune!"
"Hurry up, dig out a few pieces of these gems, and our family will have something to rely on.
As soon as Zhang Yao entered the passage, he found that the Sudanese, who had entered one step ahead of him, did not continue to advance. Instead, they focused on the sapphires on both sides of the passage, one by one inlaid on the walls.
The sapphires set on the walls are densely packed and look like tens of thousands. These gems exude an intoxicating luster under the light of torches, which makes all the Sudanese can't help but step forward.
The Sultans, carried away by greed, have long forgotten that they are conducting sacrificial selections. After the initial hesitation, the men pounced on the gems on both sides and pried them down with the sharp weapons they were carrying.
"Hurry, hurry, we have an hour, that's enough for us to get a few more gems!"
"Don't touch this, this is what I like, and no one is allowed to rob me."
More than two dozen Sudanese had been dazzled by the luster of the gems, and they didn't notice Zhang Yao who walked in, and they were full of disdain for these gems.
"How can there be so many gems here, are these Egyptians already so rich!" Camper stood beside these men, one of the two who didn't pry the gems. The other is the old man who had advised Kanbo to be careful before.
"No, the Egyptians could not have been so rich. There must have been a mistake somewhere, the Egyptians could not have possibly put out tens of thousands of sapphires in one passage. ”
The old man, who didn't do anything, answered in the affirmative of Camper's words. But this group of people who have been blinded by greed can't think of the selection of this priest, and the most important thing is to race against time. On the contrary, they all thought that they still had time, and they all wanted to dig up a few more sapphires, and then go to complete the so-called priesthood selection.
"Sapphire!" Zhang Yao floated behind these people, looking at the so-called sapphire, with a mocking expression on his face.
Anyone who has seen a mummy movie may have a lingering fear of these, the gems set in the walls.
Because these things set in the walls are not sapphires at all. Rather, it is a kind of corpse beetle that has weathered the walls for too long, long enough to have an extra blue protective shell, the infamous corpse beetle.
Inside the blue shell, it was just a disguise of a group of demons.
Just as Zhang Yao was watching the progress of the situation with a playful gaze, a Sudanese was about to break the protective shell of a beetle because he used too much force.
The beetle that "Squeak" smashed through the protective shell rushed out of it as soon as possible, and then as if the air defense alarm was sounded, the piercing screams echoed throughout the passage.
"This, what is this!"
"Necro Beetle"
Shocked by the screams in their ears, the Sudanese, who were busy prying with the gems, came back to their senses one by one. And Zhang Yao, who has been watching all this with a playful gaze, also explained it appropriately.
"Ghoul beetle!" The first to be stunned was the Sudanese who alarmed the beetle. At this moment, he was still fantasizing about the wealth brought by sapphires, and he watched in a daze as the beetle rushed to his feet after screaming, as if it were a suicide attack.
"Squeak" uses a suicide attack of the corpse beetle, screaming and waving its wings behind it. Although the pair of inconspicuous wings were not enough for him to fly, the speed was still as fast as lightning, and ordinary people could only vaguely catch a black shadow, followed by a frightened scream.
"Ah, ah, what, what helps, help!" The sudden screams broke the silence of the Sudanese.
It was summer, and everyone could see that a moving bulge was roaming around the unfortunate man's body. Like a moving tumor, the sultan screamed, rushing from the flesh to his head.
When the "bang" tumor reached its peak, the Sudanese who had been burrowed into the body by the corpse beetle, his head burst open like a watermelon that had been burst.
The burst head was accompanied by a splash of brains. A beetle with its wings vibrating in the firelight, gently shaking its body under the gaze of everyone.
"Ghoul beetle, ghoul beetle!" Camper kept repeating what Zhang Yao had said, if he couldn't understand the title before, when the beetle proved it with his own actions, he finally knew the meaning of the corpse beetle.
"Bang, bang" accompanied the Sudanese who was killed by the corpse beetle, and the wall sounded like a crackling sound like burning bamboo.
One, two, three sapphires on the walls, one after another quickly burrowed out of them with a crackling sound, and after only a few breaths, the ground was already covered with a black torrent.
"Camper!" Some of the frightened sultans shouted Kampo's name.
"Throw away those gems, run, run for me if you don't want to die!" Camper came to his senses, roared at his companion, and then, like a frightened rabbit, ran towards the passage behind him.
At this point, whoever doesn't run is a fool.
One by one, the Sudanese who reacted dropped the sapphires that they showed weakness and treasured, and ran away. And the corpse beetle that fell to the ground, perhaps because it had not been active for too long, fluttered its wings on the ground for the first time, and did not choose to pursue it immediately, but gave the Sultan time to escape.
One by one, the Sudanese ran fast, accompanied by the corpse-eating beetles on both sides, constantly shedding their shells from the walls and falling to the ground, giving people the illusion of life and death.
However, this is not the speed of life and death in the movie version.
Those who run slower here are destined to be eliminated by the ghoul beetles. And those who are eliminated by the corpse beetle have only one end, and that is death.
A race to the death had begun, and Zhang Yao was floating quietly in the air, his whole body wrapped in a blue telekinetic shield.
And on the ground, the adapted corpse beetles moved with a sound like flowing water. They were like a black torrent, catharsis heading forward.
"Help, help"
"Boom!"
The black waves swept in instantly, and a Sudanese who fell behind did not even shout for the second time for help, and was drowned by this black torrent. Three seconds later, a pile of bones was left on the ground.
In fact, the speed of the corpse beetle is really much faster than that of ordinary people.
Zhang Yao had been floating above this black torrent, and he could be sure that the speed of these beetles was completely comparable to the full sprint of an Olympic champion. If ordinary people compare their speed with these bugs, the only ending will be to be caught up and then devoured mercilessly.
"The first level of mural mummies requires boldness and confidence. Only those who are bold and confident enough will have the courage to confront these mummies and find a way out. ”
"In the second level, what is needed is to be careful and cautious. Only those who overcome greed in advance and perceive danger can avoid this catastrophe! ”
Zhang Yao floated in the air like a dandelion, and every time he arrived, he was accompanied by the screams and bones of the sultans.
The screams along the way represent the corpses along the way. In this regard, Zhang Yao showed indifference.
At this moment, Zhang Yao is like an observer observing the survival of animals in the wild. For a wildlife observer, whether animals live or die, they are nothing more than nature's cruel laws of elimination, and it doesn't matter whether they are sympathetic or not.
"Boldness, faith, prudence, and meticulousness are already there, and since this is the examination of a qualified priest, what does the third level mean?"
After another scream, Zhang Yao looked at the pile of white bones left on the ground and couldn't help but look ahead
Ahead, three Sudanese, including Kabo, had crossed a fault.
The existence of this fault is obviously a holy place that can't be touched by corpse-eating beetles, which also means that this speed of life and death has come to an end at this moment.
"Hi my friend. Congratulations on surviving, and if you don't mind, let's go! Zhang Yao floated above these people like a ghost, he didn't pay attention to the breathlessness of the three Sudanese, but instead spoke with an indescribable coldness.
can't refuse, Zhang Yao, who can't wait to know what the third level is. In the tone of his words, with the meaning that he could not refuse, the three people who listened to it were cold.
"We need to rest, we've fought with the mummy before, and this time we've been running for more than twenty minutes in one go, and we don't have the strength anymore." Kanbo tried not to look at Zhang Yao's eyes, lowered his head and retorted softly.
"Rest, you mean, I'm going to wait here until your rest is over?" Zhang Yao looked at Kanbo with a smile, and a blue light flickered on his right hand.
"No, we just"
"Bang!" As soon as Kan Bo wanted to explain, Zhang Yao waved his right hand lightly, and there were only two of the three Sudanese who survived.
Zhang Yao, who kills people with a wave of his hand, is still calm. He smiled and shook his head, and said calmly, "No, I won't wait for you, you can continue now!" ”
Of the two sultans who survived, only Kampo and the old man remained.
There was fear and resentment in the eyes of both of them, but there was more fear than resentment, so that these two smart people knew how to choose.
Without saying a word, Cambo and the old man stood up with each other's arms.
After standing up with difficulty, the two brothers and sisters glanced at each other, their eyes full of sadness. Even, compared to the fear brought by the corpse beetle, Zhang Yao, who kills people in conversation and laughter, is more like a demon to them.
"Keep going." Zhang Yao was still suspended in the air, as if driving cattle and sheep, driving Kan Bo and the old man forward.
The bumps along the way and the big fight with the mummy are a big test for a boxer like Campo.
Kampo's face was visibly tired, and the old Sudanese, who was already sixty or seventy years old, fell to his knees the next moment he stood up.
"Please, please. Let me rest for a while, just ten minutes off! The old man of the Sudanese tensed up the moment he fell, and he could only look at Zhang Yao with pleading, hoping that Zhang Yao would give him a little time.
"When people are old, they are useless. Rest, will those mummies give you rest, or will those ghoul beetles give you rest? ”
Zhang Yao did not show a model of respecting the old and loving the young, but stretched out his hand to the old man of the Sudan. Under Camper's widening eyes, blue energy was injected into the old man's body.
As soon as the blue energy entered the old man's body, in the next moment, the exhaustion on the old man's body was swept away.
"This, this" The old man's eyes were hard to hide the consternation, he could feel the comfort exuding from every cell in his body, and at this moment he seemed to be able to destroy the world.
Of course, what destroys the world is nothing more than a mental delusion.
Zhang Yao's face was expressionless, looking at the adoring eyes of the old man and Kanbo, and suddenly smiled strangely: "Don't look at me like this, I do whatever I want." If I want to help you, I'll help you. I want to see you die, and I'll watch you die. If you die slowly, I'll do it myself. ”
The words that scared Zhang Yao made all the luck of the old man and Kanbo disappear in a strange smile.
Thinking back to entering the pyramid, what Zhang Yao has been doing. The old man and Kanbo really found that all Zhang Yao's actions were unscrupulous, and he acted completely by the joy and anger in his heart.
A person who only acts on the basis of joy and anger is absolutely not worthy of justice.
Such a person, if not a demon, is a stable Chaos camp. Because there is no restraint on behavior, in a sense, it is evil, especially when this evil is not concealed.
The two of them, who were taken aback by Zhang Yao, regained their infinite fighting spirit and walked towards the next passage.
The space where the corpse beetle is located is a corridor itself, but there are obvious fractures in this corridor, which divides a corridor into two separate passages.
Walking in this passage, which is different from the corpse beetle, the two of them did not dare to stop at all along the way, always paying attention to possible dangers.
Perhaps frightened by the mummies, or the ghoul beetle, the two of them traveled very slowly.
A passage that didn't know where it led at all, the two of them walked for more than ten minutes before it ended, and when the passage came to an end, there was another hall in sight.
This is a brand new hall, and it is also the second hall that Zhang Yao encountered after entering this pyramid.
This hall is full of quaintness, and the precipitation left by time. Compared to the first hall full of mummified frescoes, it is even more magnificent, and the contents are several notches higher.
Rows of kobold statues stand silently around the hall.
The main color in the hall is black, and against the backdrop of these kobold stone statues, it looks so mysterious and majestic.
"What is this, these kobolds don't turn into monsters, do they?" As soon as he entered the hall, Kanbo, who had been frightened by the mummy once, kept his distance from these kobolds.
"No, in ancient Egyptian legends, the kobold's human name was Anubis, the god of the underworld and the dead."
"Anubis has a jackal head, a common wild dog that searches for carrion in cemeteries. Since there is a statue guarded by kobolds, it means that there can be no other danger. After all, Hanubis is a god and will never use his image to act as a monster! ”
Compared with Cambo's half-understanding, the old man on the side was much calmer. It is said that there is an old man in the family, if there is a treasure. After hearing the old man's words, although Camper's heart was still very nervous, he was obviously relieved.
"Did you notice, there are eight passages in this hall, leading in all directions." Cambo had just breathed a sigh of relief, and the old man spoke slowly again.
And with the old man's words, there was also a faint sound of footsteps in the passages in all directions.
What is it, is it a monster, or is it a human Kang Bo and the old man are all clenching their weapons, looking at the other passages with a rough and uneasy look, only Zhang Yao is alone, showing a slight smile on his face.
"Here it is, the third test." Zhang Yao's eyes were hidden in the divine light, and he looked at the other passage and smiled slightly.
