Chapter 6: The Black Book of the Dead
Sure enough, as Chen Xu expected, without his interference, everything below was the same as the plot of the movie, the prison warden was killed by his head inside because he couldn't bear the pain of the scarab's heart, and the Yankee was melted by the powerful hydrochloric acid.
When night came, the Guards, who had been following them, finally struck.
Dressed in black robes and riding tall horses, they charged in the dark night, throwing torches everywhere and lighting tents, obviously trying to drive these Americans and Chen Xu and his gang away.
However, these guards clearly underestimated the strength of the American cowboys, and by the time the American cowboys counterattacked, the guards had already left behind a dozen corpses and finally had to retreat.
And Chen Xu was hiding under the pillar he had already looked for.
It was a collapsed pillar, propped up by something else, forming a small nest-like space, the small, porous nest, of course.
The closer he got to the target, the more he didn't want to meddle in the plot, he was afraid that he would cause a butterfly effect, change the plot, and make himself irreversible.
"The closer you get to the goal, the more cautious you must be, before you get the Black Sutra of the Undead, everything is wrong, only doing nothing is right." Chen Xu admonished himself like this.
When the Guards were driven away, the three Americans who had gone down came out of it, along with the man who looked like a doctor.
The moment they came out, Chen Xu stared at the black book in the doctor's hand.
"The Black Book of the Undead." Chen Xu's eyes narrowed, and his heart was pounding.
He was so close to his goal that his heart began to rush with him, but he understood that now was not the best time.
Unlike Evelyn, who is curious, this doctor obviously knows the dignity of the Black Sutra of the Dead, and if he robs it now, he will only fall out with the Americans.
Although it is said that this group of Americans will be wiped out in the near future, at this time, they still have a very strong combat power.
"Wait, when Evelyn steals the Black Warp of the Undead...... That's the best time. ”
The doctor seemed to sense something, he turned his head, just met Chen Xu's gaze, and his hand instinctively tightened, "This is mine." ”
"Of course it's yours, Doctor." Chen Xu added in his heart: "But it will soon be mine." ”
"Oh, that's wonderful, you see, what is this?" An American shook his bottle and said triumphantly: "Antiques, antiques from hundreds of years ago, those collectors will pay a lot of money to buy." ”
"What are our antiques, but they have found a fresh mummy." Another American scoffed.
"Yes, the mummy can be dried and used as firewood."
With that, the three Americans laughed.
O'Connor laughed angrily, along with Jonathan.
"Alright, O'Connor." Chen Xu patted O'Connor on the shoulder, "There are still many things to find in it, don't pay attention to them." ”
"yes, there's a lot of stuff in there, unlike some people who find a little bit of it and get triad." O'Connor pursed his lips, clearly haunted by the Americans' gains.
"Look what I found." Evelyn rushed over, spread her hand, and showed the beetle shell, "The scarab's bones are a carnivorous worm, I found it in his coffin. ”
"This bug has corpses to eat and can live for years, and our poor friend was still alive when he was eaten."
O'Connor glanced at the three Americans and said, "So someone threw these bugs down and let them be eaten slowly?" ”
"Yes, very slowly."
"It seems that he was not welcome to be punished like this."
O'Connor and Evelyn casually discussed their poor friend who had been eaten by the scarab, while the other three Americans shuddered, clearly unfazed by such a horrible thing.
"In fact, in ancient Egypt, this horrific punishment was called insect devouring, and it was the most vicious curse in Egypt against the most heinous sinners, though I have never heard of this curse being executed." Evelyn and O'Connor looked at each other, and then said, "I heard that the resurrection of the worm-eaten people will bring ten great disasters to Egypt. ”
"It's just a legend, it's not credible at all." Chen Xu interrupted them, "What we have to do now is to sleep, nourish our spirits, and continue digging tomorrow." ”
Chen Xu yawned, spread the stall he brought on the ground, put on a heavy futon, and then lay down and pretended to sleep.
Evelyn was told this by Chen Xu, and she lost the interest to continue talking about terrifying things, so she had to fall asleep hastily, but she, like Chen Xu, was pretending to sleep.
In the middle of the night, when everyone was asleep, Evelyn sneaked up this time, tiptoed to the doctor's side, stole his Necro Sutra, and then took the key from Jonathan's body, and then walked back.
Chen Xu, who had already been unable to hold back on the side, got up and said to Evelyn: "Hey, Evelyn, according to the original agreement, the Undead Black Sutra belongs to me." ”
"Well, I'm just curious." Evelyn grinned.
"Let's take a look." Chen Xu smiled slightly.
The more he reached the last moment, the more restless Chen Xu's heart became, and he took the Black Sutra of the Undead from Evelyn's hand and opened it with the key.
"I said it's not good for you to steal from others." O'Connor, who was on the side, saw Chen Xu and Evelyn getting so close, and said sourly.
"It's called borrowing." Evelyn didn't even have the interest to turn back.
"There is no borrowing and no returning." Chen Xu said casually, and began to memorize the spell inside.
Sure enough, as he expected, the Black Book of the Dead recorded all the spells and spells of ancient Egypt, which was the crystallization of the wisdom of the ancient Egyptians.
His gaze scanned the Black Book of the Dead, memorizing the words inside.
O'Connor couldn't help but be curious when he saw Chen Xu and Evelyn looking at it so seriously, "What are you talking about?" ”
"Su Wei's aha magic map...... Yatu is, Yatu is, Yatu is (Sun and Moon convergence...... Resurrection, resurrection, resurrection). ”
Evelyn's spell pierced through time and space, resounding beneath the tower of Hamna, and the dead Immorton was resurrected by the spell.
"No......."
The sleeping Doctor awoke from his slumber with wide eyes and glared at Evelyn, "You can't pronounce the incantation. ”
The strange sound of ah-ah traveled through time and space, and resounded directly in front of everyone, and the overwhelming locusts flew out of the desert, and the dense sound of wings flapping was intertwined, like a sea of insects.
"How so?" Evelyn looked at the sea of insects outside, as if in a dream.
"Did something happen?" Jonathan rubbed his eyes, just out of his sleep.
Chen Xu also woke up from the state of silently memorizing spell spells, and when he saw the sea of insects outside, he immediately understood what was going on.
"I didn't expect Immorton to come back to life." Chen Xu thought with annoyance, he originally planned to take away the Black Sutra of the Undead, but because he couldn't wait, he began to memorize the spell spell of the Black Sutra of the Undead on the spot, and as a result, Evelyn recited the spell and resurrected Immorton.
"But it doesn't matter, the Undead Black Sutra is in my hand, and I have also memorized the spells in it, as long as I don't face Immorton directly, the little locust can help me." Chen Xu thought confidently.
"Run." O'Connor pulled Evelyn and ran underneath.
Seeing this, the other Americans ran after him, and some of the Americans who were too late had to be pounced on the ground by the locusts that spread all over the mountains.
The power of one locust is limited, even if it pounces on people, it will not feel too much, but a hundred is very terrifying, and now, not only a hundred locusts pounced on them, but those Americans were immediately pounced on one after another, and their bodies were devoured by locusts.
"Don't......."
The screams were endless, and the American who had a holiday with Chen Xu was also pounced on by the locusts and then eaten.
"God, what the hell have we done?" The doctor looked at the oncoming locusts and finally understood that this trip was a mistake, and they had to pay for their mistakes, and the consequences of the mistake continued, and he was a sinner.
"Upton, Upton, Upton......."
Chen Xu looked at the surging locusts and his face did not change, holding the Black Sutra of the Undead in his hand, and chanting a spell in his mouth.
At the beginning of life, when the ancient Egyptians sacrificed to Apep (the leader of darkness), books existed as powerful spells, and every book of that era was the most powerful and terrifying spell, and the Black Book of the Dead, in that era, already existed.
The locusts like the tide of the sea, when they were about to touch Chen Xu, made a sharp turn and passed by Chen Xu's side.
Chen Xu was like a stubborn rock, standing in the middle of the storm, and the storm composed of those locusts didn't even have the qualifications to hurt him in the slightest.
"The spell spell is in the Black Sutra of the Undead, so the Golden Sutra of the Sun should be the true name of the gods." A cold light flashed in Chen Xu's eyes.
In ancient Egyptian legends, the Black Book of the Dead contains magnificent psalms of Hyola, as well as ancient Egyptian spells and spells, as well as the true names and sayings of the gods.
But just now Chen Xu read the Black Sutra of the Undead, but found that there were only Egyptian spells and spells in it, and there was no real name and mantra of the gods, it seemed that the entire Black Sutra of the Dead was incomplete.
Thinking of the resurrection effect of the Sun Golden Sutra, Chen Xu is almost certain that the true name and mantra of the gods are hidden in the Sun Golden Sutra, that is to say, the combination of the Sun Golden Sutra and the Black Sutra of the Dead is the truly complete Black Sutra of the Dead, or the Book of the Dead.
"The resurrected Immorton will definitely come to me first." Chen Xu said secretly in his heart.
With Immorton's mana, it was impossible for him to resurrect Ansuna without using the power of the Undead Black Sutra, so he would inevitably find Chen Xu.
"I should strike first, find the Golden Sutra of the Sun, kill Immorton, know the true name of the gods, and master the true Book of the Dead."
"But before I can do that, I need to gain enough strength to fight Immorton, not to be robbed of the Black Book of the Dead by him as soon as I meet."
"In the name of Anubis, the god of death, sacrifice the soul in front of you in exchange for the power of the dead."
The reddish shimmer slowly emerged with the chanting of the incantation, covering the dead who were eaten by locusts, this is Chen Xu holding a sacrifice ceremony, he sacrificed the souls of the dead who were eaten by locusts to Anubis in exchange for the power of the underworld.
"Anyway, you sinners who dig graves, death is going to fall into the underworld, so why don't you let me send you a layer and give you to Anubis in advance."
"Hey, there are still devout believers of God, interesting, God's disciples actually came to dig people's graves and steal the Black Scripture of the Undead, it's really a wonderful irony."
