Chapter 162: Take away the mana
As soon as he entered the forest, Lin Meng summoned Zhao Xin and Timo, this forest is not safe, on the contrary, it is extremely dangerous! In the movie, Immorton led a large group of red-clad cultists into the forest with weapons, and those cultists were almost wiped out here.
An extremely gloomy aura filled the forest, and everyone walked vigilantly, sensing Lin Meng, who was extremely strong, had a faint feeling, as if in the dark, some eyes were peeking at them.
"Ah......h
Timo let out a sudden exclamation, barely knee-tall as it nearly crashed head-on into a skeleton as it walked through a blade of grass......
It's a bit inaccurate to say that they are skeletons, because these can be seen as a layer of shriveled skin, something that wraps around bones, and more like rotten zombies. Lin Meng picked up the branches and grass blades in front of him, and saw a lot of corpses with shrunken flesh and skin, and skulls shrunk into fist-sized corpses, which were pierced on sharp branches.
Further ahead, I saw skulls hanging one by one in a cage made of branches, and the whole scene was as terrifying as entering hell.
"Look, this is the Roman legion, the army of Napoleon in the 18th century!"
Lin Meng said in surprise when he saw the badges next to some corpses and translated the words on them with branding.
"In the 18th century, Napoleon invaded Egypt and hit the vicinity of the Pyramid of Khufu...... I am afraid that he learned of the legend of the Scorpion King and sent an army to find the invincible army of death, only to be destroyed in this place. ”
"Woo Woo ......"
There seemed to be a sound in the darkness, and there was a faint sound of footsteps stepping on the fallen leaves, and Lin Meng turned his head suddenly. Several sharp thorns shot from afar, and he slammed the cactus' staff's thick head forward, slamming the thorns into the metal. Light up a few sparks.
A few more thorns shot from another direction and inserted them on the surface of Zhao Xin's body, this man's face quickly turned gray, obviously the thorns were highly poisonous.
Lin Meng threw out a wind card, and the flying gray-white wind blade poker cut off a large number of plant stalks, and some small things appeared in everyone's sight. The appearance of these monsters is terrifying. Similar to Diablo's "Skinner" in the third scene.
Atrophied, shriveled skin, gray rotten flesh that wraps around the body. The surface of the rotten meat also exposed Bai Sensen's ribs and skull......
These monsters, in fact, were originally monkeys, and after the appearance of the Ashem Oasis three thousand years ago, some monkeys entered the oasis to live. But the oasis is the embodiment of the divine power of Anubis, the god of death. There's a strong smell of death in it.
Over the long years, a large number of monkeys have died here, being attacked by death qi and turning into zombie-like undead creatures. Like the mummy guards, the monkeys are extremely agile and adept at using weapons, collecting poison grass thorns from the forest and making them into blow arrows!
Lin Meng and Ye Ying, who have watched the movie, are right to the monkeys that appeared. I was prepared.
Zhao Xin's face quickly turned dark blue. Those ordinary people in the movie were blown by the thorns, and they immediately died on the ground without saying a word, which shows the violence of the thorns!
"Plop puff!"
Teemo lifted his blowpipe and blew out blowguns, sending several monkey zombies to the ground with arrows stuck in their throats. But more monkey zombies rushed out of the darkness, and when they saw this monster, Lin Meng's face became ugly.
"Heaven and earth are infinite, and Qiankun borrows the law!"
One by one, the fireballs bombarded out, and the Qiankun Falei really had a restraint effect on the necromantic creatures, not to mention the monkey zombies were hit head-on by the fireballs, just by the aftermath of the explosion, their bodies would immediately burn out and smoke, and they would turn into ashes.
Fifteen fireballs in a row blew up a large number of monkey zombies, and by the way, the flames also burned out a blank area.
Hearing the darkness, and remembering the footsteps of Xi Suosuo, Lin Meng shook his head, I don't know how many monkeys and zombies are in the dark part of the forest, he is not as lucky as the protagonist O'Connor, this trip will definitely be difficult to move an inch in the monkey's sniping!
After thinking for a few seconds, he opened his mouth and blew out a stream of fire, more than 10 meters long, scorching the trees in front of him, and after a while, these trees began to burn.
"Wind!"
He opened his hand again, and the storm that surged in the air immediately pushed the fire forward, and more trees were ignited, and a fire quickly burst into the forest, and the flames rose straight up, almost staining most of the sky red.
After pushing the fire with the wind and igniting a large area of the forest, Lin Meng said: "If you advance from the forest, you will be sniped by monkeys, and if you use a tornado to fly the two of us from the sky, it will consume too much mana...... I simply set the forest on fire without wasting any more magic, the naturally diffusing fire will burn a large area of the forest and the monkeys and zombies in it...... There's still plenty of time, so it's a big deal to wait a day or two before moving forward. ”
The heat wave was rolling in the flames, and Lin Meng and his party retreated to the place where the airship had fallen before, that is, the place where the canyon had just entered the forest, and the black man had already dragged the airship to the creek to think about how to repair it.
"Hey, we're back, repairing this airship, is there anything we can do to help?"
……
On the sky plane, Emerald with goggles saw that in the distance below, a forest actually began to burn, and said in surprise: "Are the Dream Team setting fire to the forest?" ”
"Well, they must have encountered those monsters...... Moreover, they did not rely on flying tools, they were ready to enter through the forest on foot, and we would enter the pyramids first when we did the planes...... Very well, let's ambush there......"
The fire burned for two days and two nights, reaching the pyramid of Ashem, and began to extinguish when it came into contact with the pyramid, which was guarded by the divine power of Anubis, the god of death.
Issy's airship has been almost repaired during this period of time, at least the broken airbag has been repaired, but the airship originally relied on gas combustion to fly, and now it has no power, and the black man is modifying some of the equipment on the ship to prepare to fly with hot air.
Lin Meng didn't wait any longer, after all, there were less than two days left, and the curse would attack and take his soul!
Although he is a cursed blood clan that has mastered the power of domination, Lin Meng's soul is far ten times more powerful than ordinary people, and he has the ability to dominate the soul, he doesn't want to try the ability of the god of death in this world!
With Ye Ying, Zhao Xin, and Timo, they walked in the direction where the pyramid was located, and the burned road was full of ashes left by the forest, and there were no more nasty monkey zombies to sneak attack, and the next day was almost noon, and the dream team finally arrived at the Ashem Pyramid.
Yellow boulders, pyramids towering, and statues of Anubis in the form of the god of death are arranged at both ends in front of the pyramids. When stepping into the pyramid along this path, Lin Meng got a brand prompt: "Enter the pyramid of Ashem, you will no longer be threatened by the curse, you can take off the Scorpion King bracelet......"
"However, to completely remove the curse contained in the bracelet, the bracelet must be placed in front of the statue of Anubis and sacrificed."
Lin Meng raised his hand, the Grim Reaper bracelet that was originally tightly clasped on his wrist, at this moment showed a burst of light, he pressed the mechanism on the bracelet, and with a crisp sound of "pop", the scorpion-shaped bracelet opened directly and fell off his wrist.
"We set fire to the forest, and Immorton may have come in after waiting for the flames to burn, or he could have entered the pyramids early, we ...... Depend on...... He's coming. ”
Before Lin Meng's words fell, he saw a bald man wearing a black cloak walking from the road between the two rows of Anubis statues, his face changed and he hurriedly took out the cactus staff, and Immorton, who was holding the Black Sutra of the Undead in his arms, smiled and said: "It seems that the curse has been lifted, give me the Death Bracelet ......"
"Fast forward to the pyramid!"
Lin Meng hurriedly turned around and ran towards the pyramid, Ye Ying, Zhao Xin and Timo were also running wildly, there were no traps in the pyramid, and after entering, there was a vast space of golden brilliance, with long stairs going down, and torches burning on the copper pillars on both sides, illuminating the hall brightly.
At the bottom of the staircase was a golden floor covered with a large and strange scorpion coat of arms, and on either side sat a golden statue of Anubis.
In the movie, when Immorton walked to the scorpion crest, black gas erupted from the golden statues on both sides, taking away his mana, making him an ordinary person, and Lin Meng was not worried that he would also be taken away from his mana - for him, mana corresponded to blood energy and magic power.
After all, he is not a man of this world, Anubis, nor is he his god!
The most important thing is that Immorton is the resurrection of the dead, and the essence, especially the soul, still belongs to the underworld, and the power of Anubis, the god of death, has a dominant position over such an existence.
Sure enough, when Lin Mengshun ran past the two golden statues, there was no abnormality, and Ye Ying, Zhao Xin, and Timo in the back also ran past without accidents. Running through the scorpion heraldic ground, you came to a high platform, and in front of it was a gate made of gold with embossed patterns.
Everyone on the Dream Team entered the golden gate, and Immorton in the back took Ansuna and walked down the stairs step by step.
"Escape into the pyramids? It's useless, in the pyramid of Anubis, the god of death, no one can escape, and if I get the bracelet of the Scorpion King, and then kill the Scorpion King, I will dominate the endless army of the god of death, enough to rule the army of the world! ”
Immorton sneered as he walked, and when he reached the bottom of the stairs and passed the bronze statues on either side of the scorpion motif coat of arms, black air suddenly erupted from the mouth of the bronze statue of Anubis.
The bald man screamed in pain in the air current, and countless streams of light poured out of his body, turning into a ball of light and flying towards the depths of the pyramid.
"What's wrong?" Ansuna asked nervously.
Immorton's forehead was covered with cold sweat, he gasped and raised his hand to use his mana to move a nearby table, which could move the mana of the river into the air, but he couldn't even move the table, and he whispered with horror on his face:
"Anubis, the giant god, took my mana ......" (to be continued......)
