Chapter 7: First Encounter with Immorton
In the dark underground, the rancid smell hit Chen Xu's nostrils again, making Chen Xu a little uncomfortable.
It was his second time here, but the first time he had just come down and he had changed his plan and ran back, and the second time, he had to go underground.
The Tower of Hamna is the burial ground of the Egyptian pharaohs, with passages and various treasures, many traps were set up in order to prevent outsiders from digging here, and the poor warden was fascinated by the fake gems here, and finally died under the mouth of the scarab.
Chen Xu put the Black Sutra of the Undead on the ground, spread his hands out, and did not rely on the power of the Black Sutra of the Undead to cast magic.
"The attachment of death, the resurrected living, in the name of Anubis, the god of death!"
The black dust swept up, and a scarlet glimmer emerged from his eyes, and the illusory portal opened on the other side of the underworld.
Above, he sacrificed the souls of the dead who died under the locusts to Anubis in exchange for the power of the underworld, that is, magic.
At that time, because it was the first sacrifice, Anubis, the god of death, gave him an additional reward, and the souls of the gods among the dead also made Anubis particularly happy.
With the power he received from Anubis, he could easily cast this magic - the resurrection of the underworld.
The so-called resurrection of the underworld is the basis of all the magic associated with summoning the dead.
Because in order to summon the dead from the underworld, it is necessary to obtain the coordinates of the underworld, and only in this way can you communicate to the underworld, otherwise, the summoning magic will fail.
Wisps of black gas emerged from the portal of the underworld, and the quaint patterns were gradually filled with blood, and when the blood filled the entire underworld portal, the underworld portal immediately opened.
The whirlwind came to an abrupt end, dust to dust, and everything subsided, except for the black-red glimmer of light emanating from the cracks in the portal of the underworld.
Anubis, the wolf-headed man, walked out from behind the portal of the underworld with a steel fork.
The illusory body, accompanied by black qi, unconsciously, the area where Chen Xu was located was completely shrouded in darkness.
"Young priest, you are the only priest who has communicated with the underworld in the past hundred years."
Anubis, the god of death in Egyptian mythology, is responsible for guarding the portal to the underworld and protecting the bodies of the dead on earth.
"Say what you want, and the great Anubis will grant you."
"Dear Highness Anubis, I need the coordinates of the underworld to perform the magic related to summoning the dead." Chen Xu said respectfully to Anubis in front of him.
He had to be respectful, although he didn't know if this Anubis was a god or not, but Chen Xu could feel his strength.
"Young priestess, you are welcome to learn the magic of the dead, but I need to warn you that you must not harm any soul." Anubis, the god of death, reminded.
"Yes, Great Anubis."
Thinking of the duties of Anubis, the god of death, Chen Xu was silent.
"Okay, the coordinates of the underworld are for you." Anubis, the god of death, waved his hand, and a mark appeared in Chen Xu's soul.
This mark is the coordinates of the underworld, with it, Chen Xu can summon the souls of the dead from the underworld, just like Immorton resurrected Ansuna.
Everything in front of me slowly became illusory, until it disappeared in front of me.
"Dead, call you in the name of Anubis, come back to life."
Chen Xu's fingers clicked, and a pile of soil appeared on the ground, and two hands stretched out their hands from under the ground, pushing the dust away, and the body climbed up from below.
This is a mummy, the white cloth wrapped around its body has become tattered, and there are other miscellaneous colors on it, and it walks crookedly, and at a glance you know that it is the kind that has no combat effectiveness.
However, Chen Xu didn't need him to have combat power, Chen Xu only needed it to find Evelyn.
"Go, find Evelyn for me."
The dead are very sensitive to the breath of the living, they can easily sense the living within a radius of ten miles, and the terrain of Hamna Tower cannot stop the dead at all.
When Chen Xu summoned the dead, Evelyn had just gotten rid of her fear.
"What's that?" Evelyn patted her chest with her little hand, calming her frightened heart, "It's terrifying. ”
"Those are locusts, probably some curse I've broken." O'Connor picked up the torch and walked quickly and carefully as he walked the road ahead.
"It seems that Chen Xu didn't follow." Jonathan looked around and whispered, "It seems that he may have suffered misfortune as well, but unfortunately the gold he promised me has not been given to me until now." ”
"What gold?" Evelyn asked, turning her head.
"Nothing." Jonathan chuckled.
"Be careful." O'Connor in front of him came to a sharp stop, blocking Evelyn and Jonathan, and in front of him, a small dirt bag bulged out, and countless scarabs poured out of it.
"Scarab." Evelyn exclaimed, her body trembling like a sieve.
"Let's go." O'Connor pushed Evelyn back, and he followed back, taking out the rifle in his hand as he retreated, and shot at the scarab beetle repeatedly.
Every time he fired, he would kill a group of scarabs, but there were so many scarabs that they made up the Black River.
"Hurry up and run." O'Connor wasn't struggling pointlessly, just running with Evelyn.
Behind the scarab beetle, a mummy is shaking its body, swaying and walking, like a candle in the wind, as long as it blows, it will be extinguished.
Chen Xu followed behind the mummy, chanting incantations in his mouth, and a trace of joy flashed on his face.
"This is the scarab, Evelyn, they should be right in front." Looking at the black river-like scarab beetle, Chen Xu didn't have any fear.
For ordinary people, these scarabs are the most terrifying creatures, as long as they are caught, they will burrow into the body, and then they will be in pain, and if they are caught by the scarab team, it will be even worse, only for a moment, all the flesh and blood in the body except for bones will be eaten by these terrifying scarabs.
But Chen Xu is not an ordinary person, he has magical powers, just like the apprentice priest of Egypt, and the scarab beetle is a magic that every priest must learn.
Yes!
The screams of the female surname came, attracting Chen Xu's attention, "It should be Evelyn's voice, and Immorton should also be there." ”
Chen Xu immediately ran in the direction where the voice came from, just in time to see Evelyn with a frightened face, and not far in front of her, a creature with bones all over her body and rotten flesh on the bones was standing there.
"Immorton." The moment Chen Xu saw this creature, he knew that he was the purpose of his trip, and immediately chanted a spell in his mouth.
"Barbatos, Barbatos, Barbatos......."
Chen Xu's hand glowed with green light, and these lights gradually condensed together to form a green arrow.
Immorton also seemed to have spotted Chen Xu, and when he turned around, he only saw that the skeleton had a tongue and eyes on its face, and there were still bloodshot eyes.
This was what Immorton had taken from the American, and as an escape from the underworld, he could only decorate his frightening interior by taking the appearance of others.
If you don't have eyes, you can take your eyes, if you don't have a tongue, if you don't have skin, you can take your skin, and even flesh and blood can take it, you don't need to worry about genetic rejection, you don't need to worry about whether you can use it, as long as you take it, it's his.
"The Black Book of the Undead." Immorton's hoarse voice was full of longing, "Probationary priest, obey the order of the high priest and offer me the Black Book of the Dead." ”
As the high priest of ancient Egypt, Immorton naturally had dominion over the other probationary priests and priests, and he could command them at will, even if they were to die, without disobeying them, otherwise they would suffer the most terrible punishment.
"Die, corrupt green arrows."
Chen Xu's hand was the same, the green arrow flew out, there was no need to aim, the green arrow shot directly at Immorton, penetrating his heart, the green liquid melted, constantly corroding Immorton's body, corroding those bones and the attached flesh shreds together.
In just a few moments, Immorton corroded half of his body, and from the outside, he looked like a poor mummy with half of his body clipped.
"You dare to betray me." To this day, Immorton's eyes are still incredulous, in ancient Egypt, no priest dared to betray the high priest, even if it was the order of Pharaoh, it was not higher than the order of the high priest, for the probationary priests and priests, the high priest was their heaven, their earth, their god.
So when Chen Xu attacked him, he was still in a dream, oh, I don't know if the mummy had a dream.
O'Connor over there happened to see Evelyn, he ran over quickly, he didn't even have time to change his breath, and gasped: "Found you, what kind of hide and seek, let's go...... Wow! ”
O'Connor's eyes just happened to see Immorton, and at the same time Chen Xu in front of Immorton was also in his sight, "Chen Xu is not dead?" He's here too? ”
"You can't kill me, even if you have the Black Book of the Undead." Immorton roared, "Give me the Black Book of the Dead, stupid probationary priest, and I can forgive you for the offense you just had. ”
The swept sand stuck to half of Immorton's body, his body rapidly recovering.
"What a nasty immortality." Chen Xu cursed in a low voice, beckoning Evelyn and O'Connor, "You guys go and find the Sun Golden Sutra, only the Sun Golden Sutra can kill him." ”
"No, I can too." I don't know if I don't want to be overwhelmed by Chen Xu, O'Connor screamed violently, raised his gun, and aimed it at Immorton is a shot.
Bang!
The bullet hit Immorton's head accurately, and the powerful impact smashed Immorton's head to pieces, and the seemingly immortal Immorton immediately fell to the ground.
"Look, bones that have rotted for so long are fragile."
"You can't kill him." Chen Xu, who is familiar with the plot, naturally understands that only the Sun Golden Sutra can completely kill Immorton and attack him with modern guns, which can only temporarily block his movements, and after a while, he will continue to be resurrected.
"I've already killed him." O'Connor said stubbornly.
Chen Xu didn't want to raise the bar with O'Connor, but raised his head and said lightly: "Then should we go to find the Sun Golden Sutra." ”
"Okay." Without waiting for O'Connor to answer, Evelyn replied in his place, "Since the monster is dead, let's go find the Golden Sutra of the Sun." ”
