Chapter Thirty-Three: Into the Depths, Scorpion Emperor
"Kill!"
In the dark rainforest, stumps and severed arms are scattered all over the ground.
Neville, who had been silent, was able to kill, and the snow dagger swung like the wind, and he took a few steps forward, and then suddenly heard a grunting sound in his ears.
He looked up sharply, only to see that deep in the canopy above his head was an old dwarf covered in bone jewelry, chanting a witch spell at him.
The powerful perception brought by the [Enemy Defeat Machine] reminded him that even if he still had the [Negative Energy Shield] on his body, if he fell under this spell, there would definitely be no good end.
He hurriedly changed his body, trying to get rid of the other party's lock, but the malice that seemed to be a poisonous snake wrapped around his skin still did not disappear.
Just as he breathed a sigh of relief, he was about to rush forward and kill the dwarven wizard.
A gunshot rang out, and the dwarven wizard was shot straight into his left eye, then burrowed out of the back of his head with a dull yellow brain and white skull.
Its corpse shook for a moment, and the original condensed voodoo magic was completely out of control, and hard bone spurs drilled directly out of the corpse, becoming like a hedgehog, and fell headlong from the tree, falling at Neville's feet.
Neville looked back gratefully, only to see Laura shoot with ease, cleaning up the more tricky natives.
Soon, thanks to their efforts, this wave of indigenous dwarves was slaughtered.
Seeing these natives who had no fear or pain roaring back, Clark and the others breathed a sigh of relief, they didn't open the peerless perpetual motion machine, compared to the intensity of the battle, they even found that if those natives held out for another ten minutes, they might have to be stretched.
Clark took a deep breath and asked Hindhotan, "Elder, what should we do next?" ”
Yin He Khotan looked at the direction of the dwarf's retreat, then shook his head and smiled: "These guys are not without intelligence, since they have been beaten, presumably they will not dare to disturb us again, and then go full speed towards the pyramid!" ”
Sure enough, as said, in the next part of the journey, apart from the difficult road under your feet, there were no other moths.
After more than an hour, they were only one step away from the pyramid, and in the cover of the jungle trees, an unusually tall golden pyramid was revealed, and the surrounding trees began to thin out.
Due to the spatial distortion effect of the pyramid, Clark and the others did not feel so strange when they saw the pyramid from a distance, and it was not until they approached it at this moment that they were deeply shocked by its unique architectural structure.
As the first of the Seven Wonders of the World, the Pyramid of Khufu that Clark has seen is no more than 146.5 meters tall, and the tower is made of 2.3 million huge stones.
That's it, until the Eiffel Tower was built in 1889, it was proud of all the buildings in the world, and it was the tallest of all buildings! The majesty of the royal power of the pharaohs is fully demonstrated.
However, the pyramid in front of you is impossible to measure its height, and you can't even figure out where its base is.
Around the lower end of this pyramid is a moat-like canyon about 10 meters wide and bottomless.
The lower end of the pyramid, which stretches infinitely towards the bottom of the Grand Canyon, gradually disappears into darkness and mist, and no one knows exactly where it leads.
However, judging from the faint lava light and sparkling ghostly fire that came out of the depths of the canyon, and the terrible yin wind that swept from below from time to time, perhaps this was the way to the underworld.
"The Scorpion King Pyramid is really a miracle...... Yin He Tian looked at the majestic building in front of him, and couldn't help but praise it.
The whole pyramid, without the slightest trace of masonry piling up, seems to be made of a whole boulder, although it looks stone, but with a gold-like metallic luster.
Moreover, there is no trace of wind and sand erosion on the surface of the pyramid, and there is no growth of weeds and vines.
In addition, the tower of the pyramid is also carved with hieroglyphs of the ancient Egyptians sacrificing to the god Anubis, and those dense and unrepeated sacrificial texts are more than recorded in the "Black Book of the Dead".
They circled the pyramid in a half-circle, and reached the entrance to the front, where a narrow stone bridge spanned the canyon.
As far as the eye can see, under the white light, two rows of golden beast sculptures are vividly visible, which are the symbol of Anubis - the jackal.
Behind these two rows of sculptures, facing their direction, a towering stone door reveals the temple inside the pyramid.
Everyone cautiously crossed the stone bridge and entered the temple, and a breath of ancient history that had been sealed for a long time came to their faces.
At that moment, Khotan even felt as if he had returned to Egypt 2,500 years ago, and in that sleep, he received the apocalypse for the construction of the pyramids, and everything around him was so familiar.
Rows of golden jackal warrior statues shone brightly, standing on stone platforms by the wall with spears in hand.
On both sides of the aisle, the flames burning in the stone basins illuminate the entire temple with golden brilliance.
Two more steps deeper, and a deep entrance to the underground appeared in front of them.
A fierce wind rushed from the tunnel, and a long and majestic whistling sound sounded in the ears of Clark and the others.
The voice was like the shouts of the ancient Egyptian gods, and like the shouts of countless soldiers on the battlefield.
For a while, Clark and the others even had an illusion: if they walked into this tunnel, they would immediately receive a thunderous blow from those ancient Egyptian gods.
Seeing this, Yin He sneered, "Pretend to be a ghost!" ”
Then, as soon as his body moved, he walked straight to the ground.
Naturally, Clark and the others followed without hesitation, and in the blink of an eye, they disappeared into the depths of the tunnel.
Descending the long steps, on the ground at the end of the road, a simple scorpion pattern was traced, and on either side of the pattern were squatting figures of the head of the Anubis jackal.
Clark found that the Khotan who had come here stopped and hurriedly asked, "Is there any problem?" ”
Yin He Khotan carefully looked at the floor inlaid with scorpion patterns in front of him, and the squatting statues of Anubis on both sides, with a solemn look on his face.
"I felt the fluctuation of divine power." His words immediately made Clark nervous.
Divine power is a powerful power that only gods can have, and it is also the outward manifestation of the authority of the gods.
Not to mention Clark and them, even if Dumbledore is here, he has to be careful in the face of the divine power left by Anubis.
Fortunately, as a former high priest, Yin He Khotan looked at the endless divine power surging behind the two stone statues and the scorpion pattern, but he read the information contained in them.
"If you step on this place, you will be deprived of all splendour!"
He read Anubis's message word for word.
"What does that mean?" Clark asked.
Yin Ho Khotan pondered for a moment and said, "This means that whoever passes through here will be deprived of his extraordinary powers that do not belong to him, and face the challenge as a mortal. ”
When Clark heard this, he immediately remembered the chaotic magic that existed in the wizard's body, and if they didn't complete the transfer at this moment, they were afraid that if they stood up, they would become complete children.
At this time, Khotan had already taken the lead and stepped into the scope of the Prophetic Word.
"But this thing is not so terrible, all the power of mortals at the beginning came from the gifts of the gods, and they can naturally be deprived of it.
But now that humanity has become independent and self-reliant, we have ignited ourselves and emitted a dazzling brilliance that He cannot take away because it is our own! ”
Along with his words, the idols on both sides also released two black shadows at the same time, roaring with the divine power of Anubis to rush towards Khotan.
At first glance, the black shadow looked like smoke, but when you looked closely, there was nothing, just that all the light in that space was gone.
The deep darkness also enveloped Yin Ho Khotan's body, and the power of the curse that maintained his body was instantly poured out of his facial features like a floodgate under the powerful suction.
As those cursed powers were drained, Khotan's originally sturdy body began to shrink and shrivel at a rate visible to the naked eye.
Wrinkles began to appear at the corners of his eyes, his back began to bend, and age spots appeared on his smooth bronzed skin.
It was as if in an instant, he was dozens of years old.
However, as the power of the curse that was extracted became more and more sparse, a trace of pure white flame began to appear on his body.
It is a "love" that has remained unchanged for mankind after more than 2,000 years of dark seals.
The faint flames were still weak compared to Anubis's divine power, but in essence, they were indistinguishable.
The tiny flames radiated the same immortal brilliance, allowing Inho Khotan to walk through the confinement of Anubis with his head held high.
At this moment, there seemed to be a tremor from the bottom of the pyramid, as if the anger of Anubis was shaking the place.
But Khotan had utterly despised Him, ignoring Anubis' impotent rage, and staggered to the stone statue that sealed the Scorpion Emperor.
Clark and the others followed his footsteps, passing through the darkness in turn, watching as Yin He Khotan held a spear and used the spell on the Black Book of the Dead to unlock the seal of the Demon Scorpion Emperor.
In a violent tremor, this tyrant from more than 5,000 years ago broke the seal.
He pushed open the stone door that sealed him, and at the same time, outside the pyramid, the movement of the seal breaking was not over.
The ground shook with a long-lasting sound like thunder, like lava pouring underground, and a huge sound came from all directions, and the whole Amshi rainforest trembled.
Then, a pitch-black scorpion-shaped shadow emerged from the white ball of light at the top of the pyramid.
The shadows grew larger, like rolling storm clouds, directly covering the entire Amshi rainforest and beyond.
Everywhere he went, the land became pitch black, and everything was dark.
Anubis's Grim Reaper's Guard Army, accompanied by black shadows, appeared in large swaths in the Amhi Oasis.
They formed in a neat formation, roaring for the enemy, and the dwarf tribe of the rainforest was the first to suffer.
And after a little venting, these ancient warriors, who had been trapped in the underworld for thousands of years, roared and rushed out of the desert.
They will carry on the will of Anubis to bring killing and conquest to the world.
With the loud sound of the stone door sliding, a huge shadow also appeared in front of Clark and the others.
It's a monster that's creepy and terrifying just by looking at it!
As Anubis left behind in an attempt to awaken himself, the upper body of the Scorpion Emperor is a majestic and tyrannical male figure.
Pieces of hard granite-like muscles bulged up on his body, and large and small scars were all over his body, and it could be seen that this scorpion king, who controlled the army of death to conquer Egypt thousands of years ago, must have been a powerful warrior.
However, at this time, the Scorpion King, who was designed and enslaved by Anubis, had two forearms that had been transformed into huge scorpion pincers, making a clicking and clicking sound like scissors.
And his lower body has also become the image of the back half of a scorpion.
The huge body of the African rhinoceros was covered with a black and shiny iron armor shell, and two rows of sharp scorpion feet ran over the masonry floor, leaving grooves in the road.
Not to mention his terrible tail, the barbed tail spike that glowed with cold light stood up behind him, and the length of that tail thorn was as long as a short sword!
Looking at the terrifying monster that looked like it had crawled up from hell, both Hermione and Laura couldn't help but take a step back.
However, after breaking the seal, the Demon Scorpion Emperor looked at Yin He Khotan who was standing at the front at first sight.
A bloodthirsty smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, he was holding two huge pincers, and the knuckles of his lower body crawled rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, he rushed to the front of Yin He Khotan, looking down at each other with a bloody look at his prey.
But to the Scorpion King's surprise and annoyance, the prey standing in front of him was obviously old and could be blown down by a gust of wind, but instead of fear and resistance, he looked at him very calmly.
"Mozius!"
Yin He Khotan's voice calling the Scorpion King by name was obviously not loud, but it shook the entire stone chamber like Huang Zhong Dalu.
His eyes looked directly at the hideous half-human, half-scorpion monster in front of him, without the slightest fear or disgust, but as if he was looking at a naughty child, his eyes were full of tolerance and warmth.
This kindness also followed his eyes and was directly transmitted to the heart of the Demon Scorpion Emperor.
The Demon Scorpion Emperor took a few steps back and shook his head, trying to get the sudden weakness and kindness out of his mind.
At this time, he finally looked at him and sighed: "Killing you will destroy Anubis's plan and make him unable to wake up from his eternal sleep, right?" ”
For the first time, the Demon Scorpion Emperor paid attention to the shriveled old man in front of him, and a roar-like voice came out of his throat: "Who are you?" Why do you know this? ”
