Chapter 8: The Glory of the Gods
As the convoy came to an abrupt stop, there was a loud roar in the sky.
A shadow on the ground quickly magnified, and everyone looked up, only to see a fierce bird in the shape of a giant eagle, swooping down like an arrow from the sky, gathering its wings in the blink of an eye, and landing proudly beside the frame of the two priests.
This bird of prey has feathers like iron all over its body, facing the sun, refracting a faint black-gray light, its body length is not less than the size of an adult, and its beak is sharp like a scimitar, nearly half a foot long, it is not difficult to imagine the destructive power of its cracked stones piercing iron.
These are actually not enough to make everyone shout at the same time, and the most shocking thing is that under the claws of the fierce bird, it is also tightly grasping an earthy yellow desert monster python that is nearly three zhang long and the thickness of an ordinary person's calf.
It was a sand python at the top of the food chain that could hunt lone wolves, with open flesh and broken scales, and blood flowing.
The eagle's claws easily broke into its body.
The sand python is still writhing and struggling, but being imprisoned at the feet of the giant eagle is like a monkey in the palm of the Buddha, no matter how difficult it is to turn over the big waves, death is only a matter of time or night.
'Shhhh
There was a sound of a cloth being torn. It was the giant eagle that poked out its curved beak and pierced the scales on the top of the sand python's head, and then grabbed the python's skin and pulled it with force. Although the sand python was in pain and churned violently, it could not stop the scales on its head, which were peeled raw by the eagle's beak, revealing a large piece of pink and white tender flesh under the skin.
This scene is especially terrifying, a fierce and cruel giant eagle that regards the sand python as a plaything.
Fang Di can conclude that this legendary creature of black and gray raptor has long been extinct on the earth in the future, and it must be an ancient xenomorph, and it may even be the descendant of a murderous creature left over from prehistory, and it is impossible to imagine that it can still be seen in ancient Egypt thousands of years ago.
The horrification of the slaves continued, and the priests on the two chariots in the center of the convoy, as well as the majestic old man and the beautiful girl, had already disembarked one after another, surrounded by the elite soldiers of the other chariots.
In the procession of welcoming the people under the pyramid, several people hurried to greet them, with a respectful attitude, called the old man who got down from the car an adult, saluted and worshipped, and after seeing two priests with expressionless faces, they followed the old man and the priest and began to inspect the entire pyramid construction site.
The crowd of people who came down from the convoy did not look at the tens of thousands of slaves near and far, and strode around the pyramid.
Only the beautiful girl was full of curiosity, looking around, showing a lively and active personality.
When the two priests and the old man inspected the construction site, the slaves were still not allowed to move, and everyone stood still with bated breath, but the giant eagle was not restricted by anyone, and with a roar, he grabbed the dying sand python, and flew away in an instant, not knowing where to fly to enjoy his meal.
Fang Di was hidden among the slaves, his eyes were staring at the two priests in white robes with feminine faces, and he showed a look of special concern to the black mist that was constantly looming around the two of them, rhythmically undulating.
It was clearly a supernatural power, extremely mysterious.
Suddenly, an alarm appeared in Fang Di's heart, and he immediately withdrew his gaze from the two priests.
Almost at the same moment, the two priests' eyes were as sharp as falcons, lightning turned back, and their eyes seemed to turn into black holes that devoured light, cold and terrifying, completely devoid of whites, and scanned their surroundings in horror and ruthlessly.
Fang Di was stunned, knowing that the two of them were sensing his gaze, so he looked back.
This is not simple, you must know that the two sides are not only dozens of feet apart, but also Fang Di is hidden in the slave team, and many eyes watching the sacrifice from a distance, they are actually induced.
This kind of sensitive perception ability, if used against the enemy, can make the opponent have nothing to hide, which is really terrifying.
The two priests' pitch-black eyes, which were not like human beings, scorched and swept through the crowd, and all those who were stared at by them could not help but feel a wave of horror in their hearts, feeling like they were being stared at by a poisonous snake, and death would come at any time, and it was extremely dangerous.
The two of them inspected for a long time, but finally found nothing, so they closed their dark eyes, looked at each other, and both looked a little surprised.
The old man who was walking with the two priests naturally noticed their abnormal reaction, but he did not speak, and the look of a deep groan on his face flashed. Then he continued to listen to the superintendent who was in charge of the construction of the pyramid behind him, and reported the progress of the construction, nodding slightly from time to time, his face was as heavy as ice, and he looked extremely strict.
When the group made their way to the bottom of the pyramid, where dozens of boulders were listed, they stopped together.
The Governor, who was a little bloated and fat, stepped forward, smiled before saying a word, and said in a humble voice: "Please use the power of the two priests to show the glory of the gods, and to perform great miracles for our mortal slaves." ”
The bright girl also spoke for the first time, and said with longing in her eyes: "Two uncles, let's start quickly!"
Her voice is crisp and magnetic, and like her appearance, it is unforgettable and very attractive.
In ancient Egypt, priests represented God's apostles on earth and held honorable status. The governor of the pyramid construction site, whose status is equivalent to that of the Ministry of Industry in the ancient Chinese court, the two priests are still unpretentious, but when the girl speaks, the two of them give enough respect and nod at the same time.
The two priests walked together and came to a boulder.
Their expressions were full of reverence, and their mouths uttered a murmur that did not resemble that of a human, and they recited a series of strange syllables that no one could understand.
The voice was very strange, it didn't sound high-pitched, but the tens of thousands of people around it felt like they were whispering in their ears, and it was extremely clear.
And every syllable can resonate with people's souls, and everyone near and far feels that with the ups and downs of the tone, their minds are churning and vibrating, as if the soul is boiling and about to burst out of the body.
What's even more strange is that the top of the golden and blue gorgeous staff in the hands of the two priests suddenly burst out of a black line the thickness of a finger, like a spiritual snake, and burrowed into the earth in a flash.
In the next moment, the souls of the many slaves in the vicinity, or the spiritual power, the murmur of the priest, and the strange power generated by the staff in his hand, seemed to be connected as a whole, forming a magnificent and surging power, like a huge spiritual force field, invisibly scattered and permeating the void.
This power was controlled by the staff in the priest's hand, and after it was raised and lifted up, and after making a gesture to touch the gods, a miraculous scene was presented in front of everyone's eyes.
The sand and gravel ground in front of the priest began to rise rapidly, lifting and pushing the huge stones weighing more than ten tons on the ground into the air, as if a pair of giant hands were stretched out from the ground, placing the stones in the corresponding positions on the pyramid accurately.
Fang Di was dumbfounded, and the shock in his heart was second only to when he saw the sun meteorite and manifested his vision outside the sky.
What he saw in front of him was definitely not the strength that human beings should have! At this moment, Fang Di even suspected that the place he crossed over was not ancient Egypt on earth, but a mythical world similar to ancient Egypt.
Otherwise, how could we have seen such an amazing power, which can only be described as a miracle.
Fang Di retraced in his mind the steps of the two priests to show such methods.
Previously, when the priest began to chant, Fang Di had felt that as the sound entered his ears, a strange force was about to invade his body, forcibly collecting his spirit and body, but he was resisted by a natural flow of heat in his body, and it was unsuccessful.
The others didn't have the means to do it, so they were recited by the staff and the mysterious incantation in the hands of the priest Tong Guò, extracting a small part of the power in the body, and like rivers converging into the sea, gathering into an inexplicable vast divine power in front of them, causing the earth to rise and rise, causing a scene in front of them.
This seems to be an unheard of, long-standing ancient witchcraft power.
Although Fang Di roughly figured out the key points, he was still extremely shocked in his heart.
Travel back in time to Ancient Egypt.
Priests from the Holy City.
The miraculous power of what you see in front of you.
What kind of world is this?
After the tea cup time, the two priests' expressions became more and more tired, and the sound of the incantation in their mouths became weaker. They had apparently expended a great deal of energy, to the point where the oil had dried up.
And under Fang Di's far beyond ordinary eyes, he also found that the skin of the two of them was losing its luster, and they were sinking and emaciating at an extremely slow rate. They became as terrifying as living mummies, with a trace of black qi seeping out of their bodies, like ghosts.
When the two finally stopped chanting the incantation.
The earth slowly calmed down, and the miraculous scene finally came to an end.
There were only tens of thousands of people left around who could see this scene, and everyone had a look of awe on their faces.
Countless people suddenly began to call the name of 'La' in unison. It was the supreme god of Egypt, the all-powerful sun god.
The sound waves are like the tide of the sea, surging endlessly, and the power is amazing.
After a long time, when the voice of the shouting crowd faded, the voice of the governor suddenly sounded, shouting: "The two priests have consumed a lot of life force because of the power of summoning the gods. ”
As soon as he said this, Fang Di immediately noticed some slaves around him who had been working for more than several months, and a trace of fear flashed on his face at the same time.
The fat face of the Governor Inspector flashed with a strange brilliance, but his expression was very calm, and he continued: "According to the previous rules, after the priest has shown a miracle, he needs to have a servant of the gods and sacrifice his humble life as compensation for the priests and lords after summoning the divine power・・・・・・・ we will follow the custom, in the slave ranks, select ten healthy young slaves to fight, and the defeated will become the priest's tonic." ”
Undoubtedly, the price of becoming a tonic is death.
The governor's words fell, and Fang Di inexplicably gave birth to a sense of impending danger.
At this moment, another voice sounded, saying, "I would like to inform the Governor that among the slaves under the command of our team, there is a man who has invaded our country from outside, and he is in good health. The slave team under his care let him come out to fight. I think it's the best person to dedicate to the priests. ”
When Fang Di heard the voice, he immediately knew that something was wrong, and scolded in his heart, because the person who spoke was Tatu.
At the same moment, Fang Di understood Tatu's conspiracy. The reason why he pardoned Fang Di's whipping yesterday was precisely so that on the surface, Fang Di's body was completely unscarred and could participate in the cruel battle as a priest's tonic.
Tatu also arranged for Fang Di in advance, and he has been working tirelessly since yesterday, until now.
It is important to know that any ordinary person who has worked for a day and a night, and has been exposed to the scorching sun for several hours, will inevitably be tired and want to die, and if he participates in the life-and-death struggle between slaves, he is doomed to a fiasco.
This shows the viciousness of Tatu's intentions.
But Ren is Tatu has made a lot of calculations and exhausted his means, but he never imagined that it was because of his arrangement that Fang Di entered the pyramid last night, and there was a mysterious change, opening the door to cultivation, and the state at this moment was really far better than any moment in his life.
Fang Di sneered in his heart, in the games of the past and present, the losers were mocked and insulted by the winners.
This time, it's going to give Tatu an absolute surprise, and make him a loser often.
On the other hand, it might be a good opportunity・・・・・・
