Chapter 32: A Difficult Trek and Overcoming Thorns

When Yin Ho Khotan waved the spear in his hand and lightly tapped it on the mist in front of him.

The faint golden-red glow was like the rising glow, dispelling the white mist in an instant.

A vast oasis that resembles a tropical rainforest that should never have been in the desert emerges in a distorted light and shadow.

When the target appeared, Yin He Khotan didn't say much, and took a step directly towards the mirage-like wonder.

At this step, it was the end of the world, and his whole person became ethereal, as if he had squeezed into another distorted world.

Clark and the others didn't dare to delay, so they hurriedly followed him and squeezed in.

The crowd's bodies were weightless for a moment, as if they were on a roller coaster that was speeding wildly, but soon, they felt a solid ground under their feet.

Fresh air poured into their trachea and lungs through their mouths and noses, carrying the unique scent of water vapor and grass and trees unique to the forest, instantly dispelling the boredom that had just been in the desert.

Obviously, this is no longer the desert of southern Egypt.

Clark and the others looked up, and in front of them was a circular oasis surrounded by mountains, the dark mountains were as dark as ink, as if they merged with the thick night sky overhead, only the pyramid in the center of the oasis was brilliant and tall.

At the top of the pyramid, there was a cold white light, like a small bright moon, providing light for the creatures of the entire oasis.

As soon as they entered here, before Clark and the others could stand still, a dazzling white light shot out from the light cluster at the top of the pyramid, shining on Clark and the others.

Mori Bai's cold rays, with an absolute low temperature and a chill enough to freeze the soul, completely locked the group.

In the face of the sudden attack, Yin He Tian was not surprised, but indifferently recited the divine text on the "Black Book of the Dead", accompanied by the awkward voice, the eight black tentacles behind him twisted and entangled, instantly turning into a hideous and terrifying giant mouth, silently devouring the rays shot from the top of the pyramid.

"It seems... The hosts here didn't seem to welcome us too! Laura saw this and made a joke.

Instead, he opened his mouth and explained to them.

"Although Anubis has fallen into silence due to Ragnarok, the power he left behind is also very powerful, even just a trace of divine power, and it is also spiritual, and it can spontaneously fight the enemy.

It's the same as the human stress response, which senses the hostility of us intruders and naturally doesn't relent. ”

As he spoke, the beam of light continued to shine through, but the black giant mouth behind Yin He Khotan did not refuse, and after several times, the beam was never fired again.

Without the attack of this long-range defense system, Clark and the others followed closely behind him, following the trail of his walk, towards the pyramid in the center of the oasis.

They were a group of five people, and Yin He Khotan led the way in front with a golden spear and the "Black Book of the Dead".

Then there is Laura, who is armed with a dog-legged knife and pistol, and Hermione, who is holding a magic book, while Clarke, who is empty-handed, and Neville, who is armed with a short sword, walk in the rear, taking cover and guard.

Oh, by the way, besides them, there's another guy who isn't human, and that's that voodoo wizard.

He actually didn't want to enter here with Clark and the others, so he didn't talk all the way to reduce his presence.

However, when Clark entered the oasis, he also brought the voodoo doll that held his soul with him.

This thing is related to his life, and he naturally can't be indifferent, so he can only control his body that has been refined into a resurrection corpse to keep up.

Along the way, although everyone is fully armed, and there are magicians and wizards, the progress is still not smooth.

In this pristine rainforest, which has existed for an unknown amount of time, there are many dangers that they could not imagine.

As a primeval jungle that no mortal has ever set foot in, there are no roads to walk in.

Clark and the others had only been walking for a short time when they were blocked by vines, trees, and weeds, and they had to rely on weapons to chop their way open.

The terrain also changes from flat to steep, and along the way, you can see evergreen vines that snake like snakes, hanging from a height, and a variety of roots, shrubs and vines, and even some swamp traps covered with fallen leaves.

As soon as you step on it, the mud will go straight up to your knees, and if there is no one to help, you can only sink deeper and deeper in the powerless struggle.

In addition to the difficulty of walking, because the air in the jungle is extremely humid, everyone's bodies are also sticky, and the breath is also very difficult.

And the lush vegetation and damp and shady environment also contribute to the growth of those tropical poisonous insects.

Neville stomped on a locust that was about to climb his ankle, then waved his palm to dispel the poisonous mosquitoes that had gathered around him as black as a cloud.

This is still with Yin He Khotan, and the cursed aura exuded from his body makes those poisonous insects and poisonous snakes dare not approach, otherwise they are afraid that they will face more poison.

But even so, it took them a full half an hour, and it was only a short distance, and the distance in a straight line was not necessarily a thousand meters, and at this speed, they might not be able to get to the pyramid before dawn.

"It seems that we have to speed up our progress," said Yin Ho Khotan, who was walking at the front, suddenly, "The places we passed along the way were lush with vegetation, and although there seemed to be no traces, the vegetation in some places was too fresh. ”

"What does that mean?" Clark asked.

"It means that they are all born by the divine power of Anubis, and only in this way will those plants be so delicate and verdant." Yin He Khotan's eyes were like electricity, and he said categorically.

"He wants to slow us down!

After all, this is the gap between the underworld and the present world, and when night comes, this place will be close to the present world and attract the souls of the dead. When the sun rises, it will be repelled by the yang world and close to the underworld.

And at that time, the Anubis divine power that has penetrated into the underworld will be able to exert even greater power.

Everyone will be careful, I'm afraid there is still trouble waiting for us ahead! ”

With that, he took the lead and quickened his pace, and the rolling yellow sand spread forward from his feet, and the ground along the way was dry and cracked, and the bushes and jungles began to wither, even break and fall.

It was as if all the places that had been passed by the yellow sand had been drained of moisture.

Even those poisonous insects are no exception.

Clark and the others followed him closely, stepping on the sand and moving quickly, but soon, the trouble that Khotanese had spoken of was as promised.

With the sound of rustling in their ears, Clark and the others noticed that something seemed to be beginning to appear in the surrounding jungle.

"What's that?" Gu Gu

Hermione shouted, and everyone looked ahead, and they could see a winding road in the jungle ahead.

On both sides of the road, there seemed to be something hanging.

When the team got closer, they found that it was some rattan cage, and inside the cage, there were several piles of withered bones.

"Looks like there's some kind of cannibal here."

Clark noticed that the bones were very similar to humans, and they were still wearing the remains of old armor, which seemed to be very old.

Laura, who specializes in history, looked at the details and pondered: "These bones are soft and skeletal, they must have been dead for hundreds of thousands of years, combined with their armor style, there is no doubt that these are soldiers when ancient Rome ruled Egypt." ”

On the side, he also exerted his ability as a high priest and medical scientist, and commented on the preservation techniques of these bones from a professional point of view.

"These people who left behind their bones seem to use human bones as decorations and totems.

It can be seen from the skulls stuck in the sticks around us that they have a strong religious and ritual character.

However, it can also be seen that the skeletons they can obtain are limited, and there do not seem to be any other living creatures in this oasis.

So much so that they had to vigorously develop bone protection technology, and the bones that were mistakenly put into it and then eaten clean by them were preserved to life.

This technology has surpassed most ancient civilizations...... I don't know if they figured it out themselves, or if it was given to them by Anubis. ”

"It's kind of similar to voodoo, but it looks more ancient and backward......"

The voodoo wizard opened a hidden hole in the tree and pointed to the skulls piled up into the wall:

"This head reduction is a symbol of our native African voodoo technique, in which shamans use herbs to shrink the skull for easy preservation and make it into materials and artifacts for witchcraft."

Clark endured the discomfort, and while watching this cruel and barbaric scene, he analyzed according to their statement:

"In other words, among the cannibal tribes here, there are not only indigenous warriors who can use daggers and poisoned arrows, who are agile and good at hiding, but also spellcasters who are good at ancient African voodoo witchcraft?"

Yin He Khotan nodded and sighed:

"Those guys are supposed to be the original indigenous tribes who migrated here and believed in Anubis.

It's a pity that with the arrival of Ragnarok, Anubis gave up here, so they slowly became inhuman and ghostly in this kind of ghost place. ”

He glanced around at the silent jungle around him, and suddenly raised his hand, and with a wave of his hand, a sand spear shot out of the yellow sand under his feet, piercing the trunk of a large tree as thick as a man, and nailing a dwarf hiding in the forest to the trunk.

These little creatures were dark-skinned, covered in oil paint, and covered with hideous bone spurs, not like humans, but seven or eight points like house-elves.

"Be careful, it's a resurrected corpse!" The voodoo wizard who had been following Clark couldn't help but remind, "This is a method used by voodoo wizards to concoct voodoo warriors, also known as the resurrection corpse." ”

"Seeing them like this, I'd rather call them soul dolls." Laura looked at the little monster struggling to turn to ashes on the sand spear, and was in the mood to make a joke.

However, the voodoo wizard had a serious face.

"Don't underestimate them, it's in the hands of Lord Khotan, they are so easy to deal with.

The production method of the resurrection corpse is extremely cruel, it needs to suppress the consciousness of the living, and then use highly toxic witch medicine, combined with blood sacrifice and other witchcraft methods, to refine it into a living dead who has no pain, is not afraid of death, and has a mutated body.

The power of ordinary resurrection corpses is strong, because the witch medicine seals off the self-protection measures of their human body, so it is equivalent to burning life.

Regardless of the musculoskeletal endurance limit, the soul corpses are infinitely powerful, and even if they are hit hard, they will not easily lose the ability to resist.

Not to mention that this cannibal indigenous tribe is so old, and their voodoo may be mixed with evil spells passed down from Anubis. ”

A voodoo wizard actually said that Anubis passed down evil spells, which is really magical.

At this time, more "resurrection dolls" also appeared in the surrounding jungle, and the battle began at this moment.

"They have a lot of sorcery and poison attached to them, so it's best to kill them from a distance. Also, you have to wear positive energy protective equipment on your body, and finally, remember to hit the head, that's the key to them!"

The voodoo wizard added at the end, pointing out the secrets of these cannibal dwarfs.

Then, under Clark's control, he waved the poisoned turquoise dagger and rushed forward to act as a meat shield.

Beside him, Neville's eyes, which had been covered with spells such as [Resistance to Negative Energy Shield], [Giant Transformation Technique], [Defeat the Enemy Opportunity First], and [Oil Paste on the Soles of His Feet], flashed brightly, and the fairy short sword in his hand slashed diagonally downward.

With the blessing of the power brought by the [Transformation Giant Technique], the long-accumulating Cross Slash cut off the heads of three small resurrection corpses.

Hermione held the magic book in her hand, chanted incantations in her mouth, and sprinkled a little pearl powder, and soon her whole body bloomed with a pearl-white glow.

These rays of light are soft and not dazzling, just getting closer to make people feel warm, tired, and full of energy.

Not only that, but under Hermione's control, these rays of light could also be condensed and emitted into rays.

Once those little resurrection corpses were hit by this white beam, black smoke quickly rose from their bodies, and they quickly turned into a pile of white bones.

In addition to the two of them, Laura's marksmanship is also very good, and in such a complex place, her hit rate is surprisingly high.

Every bullet can often play a big role.

On the contrary, it was Khotan, as if they were preparing to save their strength to deal with the enemy behind, and did not make a big move.

The bullets and guns and the cold light of the swords are intertwined, like a gorgeous waltz, in this damp and dark rainforest, quickly harvesting the lives of those dwarfs.

They were targeted at the weakness of their heads, and their skulls were splashed like white flowers in full bloom, and they were almost powerless under the killing of Clark and others.

The whole scene did not look like a massacre, but rather like a peasant uncle harvesting baby cabbage in the field.

It's just that these "baby cabbages" are all terrifying monsters with big heads, sharp teeth, and hideous faces.
