Chapter 11: The Seven Stone Gates
Looking at the empty sarcophagus, his expression was calm, as if this result had been expected by him. I asked him anxiously, "No, what the hell is going on? Isn't the crystal ball supposed to be in this tomb? How can it be empty?"
"Have you ever heard of the legend of the Seven Days of Divine Power in Egypt?" I shook my head. In ancient Egyptian theory, "seven" represented the union of spirituality and matter, and they believed that the process of life, including the signs of disease, had a seven-day cycle. Even the construction of the pyramid combines the square base, which symbolizes the four elements, and the sides of the triangle, which symbolize spirituality, and together they form the number "seven". The Muse also hints at the "continuation of the seven" at the end. "Seven" is very important for us to find the crystal ball, and if I am not mistaken, this tomb should have seven doors. ”
"Seven doors?" I was taken aback, "it's too late, we still have to open six doors, we need to hurry!" I pointed the compass pointer clockwise to six in the same way as I opened the first door, when the wall against which the sarcophagus was leaning suddenly made a sound, and the middle part slowly sank into the ground, and the shape of a door appeared.
"Let's go!" I pulled through the door on the wall when I suddenly felt a very fast wind rushing towards us in the darkness, its whole body was jet black, and its sharp claws were faintly visible. "Be careful!" quickly pushed me away, and the animal pounced. I was shocked to shine my searchlight, and a black cat was crouching on the ground and looking at me viciously, its eyes were green, and it was indescribably strange in this dark environment.
"How can there be cats here?" I asked, scared. "In Egypt, cats were considered gods. Each cat is mummified after death and transported to a specific place. This cat is supposed to be the messenger guarding this mausoleum!"
"You mean, this cat, it's a mummy?" I tightened my sleeve in fear.
"That's right!" he said, "His eyes are always on the black cat's every move. The cat was very dissatisfied when he saw that we had managed to avoid its sneak attack, and it spun around on the ground restlessly, and suddenly bared its fangs, opened its large red mouth, and screamed "woo", which was extremely high-pitched and terrible, and it was particularly frightening in this dead tomb, and then it leaped up from the ground and pounced on us with lightning speed.
I quickly pulled out my pistol from behind and aimed it at the black cat, but just as the bullet was about to hit it, the black cat disappeared. I just wondered why the cat was gone, and suddenly I heard a sharp cry of "meow" behind me, and the cat pounced from behind, seeing that the claws were about to grab my back, and at the last moment, I didn't use my arms to protect me, and the cat's claws slashed through his left arm, grabbing a few cuts in his black robe, leaving a few shocking blood marks.
"Are you hurt?" I asked anxiously, if it didn't matter. Bu frowned and snorted, "It doesn't matter to me, it's okay if you're not injured, my duty is to protect you." ”
I was moved in my heart, I can't sacrifice myself to protect me like this, I can't be so cowardly, I don't care what kind of demons and monsters he is, just fight with it, don't I say that I am possessed by a god? A main god is afraid of a demon cat, won't the gods laugh when I recover my mana?
I looked around and saw a rusty copper sword on the ground, so I quickly picked it up and pointed at the demon cat squatting on the ground and said, "You evil animal, don't be a good mummy of your cat corpse, but you come out to make trouble, but not looking for death?"
The black cat was furious, and it bared its teeth at me, and spun around on the ground like a leopard, when suddenly it jumped up and pounced on me again.
I saw that it was menacing, and I couldn't help but be a little timid, but there were still words on my lips, "Dust to dust, go where you should go!" desperately stabbed the black cat with his sword, only to hear a scream, the cat fell into the corner, struggled and writhed in pain for a while, and turned into a dry corpse wrapped in cloth. I looked at the bronze sword in my hand in disbelief, and then looked at it, and I didn't want to cover my injured arm, "This is the ancient Egyptian sword that exorcises evil spirits and slays demons, and I don't want to be discovered by us here." ”
