Chapter 9: The Search for Immorton
When the incessant screams gradually dissipated in the air, Chen Xu noticed that something was wrong, and he once again accelerated his speed and ran in the direction where the sound was transmitted.
After turning a few corners, I finally arrived at the place where the incident occurred, and the corpse was lying on the ground, blood flowing irregularly.
These corpses were dressed in black robes, with strange paint on their faces, and it seemed that they were the Pharaoh's Guards who had appeared before, and several of them attracted Chen Xu's attention.
A corpse had lost its ears, a corpse had lost its skin, and the flesh had disappeared without a trace.
"The man who shot it was Immorton." Chen Xu bent his legs, stretched out his hand, and touched the blood on the ground, "Only he needs human ears and skin, but depending on the degree of blood coagulation, he shouldn't have gone far." ”
Chen Xu opened the Black Sutra of the Dead and recited a spell.
"The living, the dead, take revenge, in the name of Anubis."
A scarlet glimmer covered the corpses in this place, and under the pull of the mysterious power, the blood gradually solidified into an elegant blood cat.
The blood cat, according to legend, is a messenger of the underworld, with the ability to suppress the dead, and any undead will encounter suppression after encountering a cat.
After the blood cat walked gracefully on the earth, it left a blood mark everywhere it walked.
"Go, take revenge, and find the man who killed you."
Chen Xu pointed with his hand, and the blood cat meowed, and rushed out.
"Is this magic?" Jonathan said enviously: "You can also become a cat." ”
"It's just a little magic." Chen Xu said modestly: "The blood cat has no attack power for the living, and it may kill it casually, but for the dead, the blood cat has a miraculous effect." ”
"The most important thing is that the sensitivity of the blood cat to the dead, especially to the person who killed it, definitely surpasses the sensitivity of the dead to the breath of the living, and it can help us find Immorton."
"So what should we do now?" O'Connor looked at the strange way of death of the corpse on the ground, and finally believed that his shot had not killed Immorton.
"I don't know." Evelyn looked at the corpses on the ground, the horrible way of dying, even if she was open-minded, she had to be gloomy.
"Priest?" The bearded man in the black robe looked at Chen Xu and asked suspiciously.
"Why didn't you, the priest, obey Immorton's orders?"
"Why should I follow Immorton's orders?" Chen Xu turned his head and looked at the bearded, "Aren't you, the Pharaoh's guards, supposed to deal with Immorton?" Why do you want me to obey Immorton's orders and strengthen Imorton, or do you want you to betray your mission and take refuge in Immorton? ”
"If we had taken refuge in Immorton, we wouldn't have killed so many brothers." The bearded man said excitedly: "From the past to the present, we have been guarding the Tower of Hamna and not resurrecting Immorton, but your arrival has failed us. ”
"You killed our army last time? You're attacking us this time, too? O'Connor also reacted at this time, "All the dead on this earth are your people?" ”
"Yes, we are the descendants of Pharaoh's guards, and in order to prevent the resurrection of Immortun, to prevent the end of the world, we have guarded the Tower of Hamna for generations, and anyone who comes to the Tower of Hamna is our enemy." The bearded man affirmed.
"For this, you can kill people as you like?" O'Connor grabbed his bearded collar and said viciously, "Killed so many people and shed so much blood." ”
"To protect Hamnata, to keep Immorton from coming back to life, I want to say, yes." The bearded man said calmly.
"Alright, you two." Chen Xu frowned, "When is it, you are still arguing here, and now the top priority is to find Immorton and kill him." ”
"You haven't told me why you betrayed Immorton." The bearded man looked at Chen Xu coldly.
"Your gaze makes me very unhappy, bearded." Chen Xu said unhappily: "But now that we are allies, I don't care about your eyes." ”
"Besides, why should I obey Immorton's orders, I am a free soul alone, not bound by anyone, I only act according to my own will, little Immorton, why control me."
The bearded man frowned, thinking deeply.
In his memory, all the priests obeyed the orders of the High Priest Immorton, where the High Priest captured Princess Ansuna and betrayed the Pharaoh, and the priests were martyred.
Since then, the priestly lineage in Egypt has been cut off, and there has never been a single priest with magical powers.
So he can't understand Chen Xu's thoughts, but if he doesn't understand, it doesn't mean that he can't agree with Chen Xu, for him, as long as he can bury Immorton, he can let go of any hatred, even if he was fighting with O'Connor before, he can also cooperate at this time, because the mission is above all else.
"Okay, I believe in you, let's work together to bury Immorton." Bearded man.
"That's the Golden Sutra of the Sun." Chen Xu pointed to the Sun Golden Sutra in Evelyn's hand and said: "It is a book that can deprive Immorton of mana, as long as we find Immorton and recite a spell, we can deprive Immorton of his mana and then kill him." ”
"But now we can't find Immorton."
"Leave the matter to Immorton to me." The bearded man said calmly: "Pharaoh's guards, all over Egypt, we can find Immorton as quickly as possible." ”
……
Inside the passage, Immorton, who had just recovered, was very angry at Chen Xu, the apprentice priest who betrayed him.
"Damned probationary priest, you are the first priest to betray the high priest, your name will be nailed to the holy coffin forever, and your soul will be banished to the underworld to suffer eternal torment."
"Well, before that, I should charge some interest."
Immorton jerked around, and behind him was Benny, a lewd man with a red hat who was carrying a chest full of gold.
"Oh no." Benny also found the newly resurrected Immorton at this time, and he was so frightened that he dropped the gold and turned to run.
"Can you get out of here?" Immorton slammed into Benny's back, looking at him with bloodshot eyes, like a cat playing with mice.
"No......." Benny was so frightened that he took out the cross and kept chanting, "God willing, God forbid, just as a shepherd protects the sheep." ”
When he found that God showed no sign of wanting to protect his hypocrite, he replaced it with a half-moon relic, and then with other relic, until it was finally replaced with a six-pointed star, which made Immorton stop, and it is worth mentioning that this so-called relic, like the cross, was a relict of the rotten street, which could be bought for a pound.
"I need you, slave, and if you do well, I won't skimp on rewards." Immorton pulled out a stack of precious objects from the ancient Egyptian era.
Benny finally knew that he was free from death, and he said in a voice mixed with joy and fear, "Yes, Your Highness. ”
"First of all, I need human blood, sacrificed to Anubis, the god of death, and I need strength, enough to fight against the power of the Golden Sutra of the Sun." Immorton looked at Benny with his bloodshot eyes, "Tell me, where is the blood." ”
"Just outside, Your Highness." Benny said fearfully, "Outside, there is a group of knights who claim to be the Guards, and they say they want to destroy you, I saw them when I went out just now, and I hope their blood can satisfy you." ”
"It's to satisfy Anubis, the god of death." Immorton corrected the error in Benny's statement.
"Yes, to the satisfaction of Anubis, the great god of death." Benny answered.
So, the Guards, who had just met with the Americans and learned about the situation inside, managed to make contact with Immorton, and then they died, and some parts of their bodies became Immorton's parts, and their souls were taken as gifts to Anubis, the god of death, and Immorton, who had obtained all this, longed for more sacrifices, and he aimed outward.
"It's a different time now, Your Highness." Benny faithfully introduced the outside situation to Immorton: "Now the outside world has entered the age of technology...... ”
Meow!
The elegant blood cat walked on the earth, and the traces of blood color were scattered with the pace of the blood cat.
"It's a cat." Immorton covered himself with his robe, "Kill this cat for me." ”
"But ......."
"If you don't kill, I'll send you to hell." Immorton's body turned into sand and flew out, leaving only the sound to stay there.
"This Immorton is really unkind to me." Benny looked at the black cat and swallowed, "Don't you come here." He also took out a stone from the side and emboldened himself.
Meow!
The blood cat squealed gracefully and lunged out, tracing Immorton in the direction he had left.
"Give me death." Benny closed his eyes and threw the stone in his hand, hitting the bloody cat accurately, and the elegant cat suddenly turned into blood and flowed to the ground.
"Don't look for me, Imorton asked me to do it, if I don't kill you, he will kill me, so don't blame me, if you want to blame, blame Immorton."
Benny was overjoyed to see that he had killed the Blood Cat, and then ran away with a shout, running in the opposite direction to where Immorton had left.
At the same time, Chen Xu, who was underground, stopped suddenly, "My blood cat is dead, Immorton has the help of humans, who is it?" Benny or the priest's servant or is it some other unknown factor? ”
