Chapter 39: The Escape from the Temple
"Okay, I'll tell you where the treasures are, but it's up to you whether you can get them."
Under Su Ling's obscenity, Menes finally chose to give in.
Under her guidance, Su Ling found the treasure buried in the pyramid.
The first is the treasure that he is most concerned about, related to Horus.
"Is that it?"
Su Ling hid behind a stone wall and looked at the ruins not far away.
It was a dilapidated temple with a stone monument in front of it with a human figure with the head of an eagle, symbolizing Horus, the god of vengeance.
As the most important deity among the Zeta gods, the temple of Horus is so magnificent that even if it is now dilapidated, you can still get a glimpse of its former glory through the remnants.
In front of the temple is surrounded by a group of snake people...... And it's different.
The head of an eagle is human, but there is a pair of wings on its back......
It's not so much a snake man as an eagle man.
The harpies held a huge longbow with arrows made of unknown material, and the mere look at the thick bowstring made of it was a terrible thing to do.
The Harpies scanned the surroundings of the temple with their piercing eyes, alerting all intruders.
"This is Horus's dependent...... They are only responsible for guarding this pure land, so you can't see them anywhere else. Menes explained to Su Ling the origin of the Harpy.
"Pure Land......" Su Ling squatted down and looked at the ground under his feet, there were fine and dense roots buried in the soil, they were waiting for a suitable time to sprout and devour flesh, "It doesn't seem to be true, these plants have penetrated the entire pyramid." β
Menes struck the snake with the stick: "Since you have seen the power of the mother tree, get rid of it as much as possible, at least not let it out!" β
"Then let me do it." Su Ling replied impatiently.
His current plan was to get some benefit from this, and then do what he could, and if he couldn't deal with Buster and the mother tree, he would immediately roll up and run.
As for whether you can go out.....
How do you know if you don't try?
Turning his head to look at the patrolling Harpies, he gripped the hilt of his sword, the skull ring on his left ring finger enveloping him in a pitch-black glow.
Su Ling escaped into the shadows, turning into a dark shadow and flowing in the darkness, and with the hidden aura effect of the token, he successfully deceived those harpies and infiltrated the temple.
The interior of the temple has long since decayed, and the former rock pillars are covered with signs of weathering and corrosion, and the statue of Horus is crumbling all over the ground.
But at the end of the temple, there is a sacrificial shrine with a faint ball of light enshrined on it.
Su Ling's eyebrows heated slightly, and he closed his eyes, but he didn't fall into the darkness.
Because he opened his third eye.
The eyes of Horus between his eyebrows lit up, staring at the ball of light on the shrine:
[Broken Horus Soul]: A shattered soul that hides the divine power of Weibo.
[Devouring this Divine Soul will provide you with a great amplification of abilities, which can strengthen the strange skills you have, and provide a tempering effect for the artifact Eye of Horus]
Su Ling withdrew his gaze from his soul, his eyes fiery.
This thing can not only provide experience points similar to strange crystals, but also strengthen the artifact, and he is determined to get it!
The Eye of Horus can provide a predictable effect of the future, and even a second of enhancement is a huge increase, and many dangers can be avoided if you respond in advance.
For example, if Asha's time stop can be glimpsed into her future movements with the Eye of Horus, Su Ling can respond in advance to prevent being killed silently in time stop.
However, of course, such an important thing will not be left unguarded here.
"Whew-"
A loud wind echoed through the temple, and a behemoth creature awoke.
The head of an eagle, the body of a human body, the wings of the ribs, and the holding of a scepter.
Su Ling hid in the corner, looking at this unprecedentedly strong enemy.
The guardian of the gods seemed to be Horus, its wings flapping like the wind howling, its eyes breathtaking like arrows, scanning everything in the temple.
γMythical Creature Carlosγ:
[Lower Divinity: Greatly increases resistance to negative states such as instant death effects, curse effects, poisoning, etc.]
[Eagle's Eye: Pierces through the flaw, ignores certain defenses.] γ
[High Priest: Able to use wind and sand spells!] γ
[Sand Curse: The Curse of the Gods Restricting Subordination]
"That's the high priest of Horus, and his godly ......," Menes said softly, "you are no match for him, find a way to avoid him!" β
Su Ling clenched his grip tightly, avoiding the gaze cast by Carlos, and seeing that the other party was just mechanically patrolling, he asked suspiciously:
"If he's a god, why does this guy look as brainless as the monsters out there?"
Menes hesitated for a moment: "In order to prevent accidents, the gods planted a curse on these subordinates, and when they fell into weakness, the curse will attack, so that the dependents will lose the ability to think and only know how to follow orders, and this one has been guarding here for ten thousand years, waiting for Horus's return, but unfortunately, he can't wait any longer." β
"I really don't treat my subordinates as human beings...... Su Ling complained, "No wonder humans are going to rebel." β
"Wow!"
The High Priest hovered in the air like a fighter jet, and the spacious temple seemed so cramped at the moment, restricting his movements, but also making him feel extremely oppressive.
Su Ling's heart tightened, this guy seemed to have noticed that something was wrong, and he came over with a long roar and flew towards him.
He gritted his teeth, clenched his grip, hid behind the pillar, and took a deep breath.
The skull ring on his hand shimmered, and at the same time, a heavy force condensed on the blade.
Whether it is the dark finger crown or the spirit cut, they are both equipment that can be charged, and Su Ling decided to surprise the other party when he was about to find out, and give him a fatal blow.
Shadow Strike can inflict a critical hit effect when attacking from behind, and it comes with erosion damage, Spirit Cut can add soul damage, and up to three times the damage increase, coupled with the power of Tearing Hatred, Su Ling doesn't believe that anyone dares to take his knife head-on.
The disadvantage is that the charge time is too long, but it is just right to sneak up on this brainless monster.
"Whew-"
Carlos flapped his wings and flew slowly, holding a scepter made of pure gold in his hand, and a pair of eagle eyes staring at the stone pillar where Su Ling was hiding.
As a mythical creature, Carlos is naturally not comparable to those garbage outside, he sensed that something was wrong with Su Ling, and it was impossible to hide from him incognito.
But when he was about to approach the stone pillar to find out, there was the sound of a blade breaking through the air behind him.
"Wow!"
Su Ling's figure flashed behind Carlos, holding a knife in both hands, and slashing at the eagle-headed monster in front of him with all his might!
With a flash of sharpness, Carlos screamed and fell heavily to the ground.
Blood gushed out, and his wings were cut off.
Su Ling stepped on the back of the big bird and landed, and the other party reacted immediately after howling in pain, turning his head to stare at this guy who dared to trample on him, while waving the scepter in his hand.
Suddenly, a strong wind seemed to blow in the silent temple, and the whole temple was shaking.
Su was inspired by a mortal threat, and turned his head to look out, and there was already flying sand and stones outside the temple, and thousands of pounds of boulders were easily rolled up like sand.
The spell that Carlos casually unleashed can actually cause the effect of a sandstorm!
"Quick! There are restrictions in the temple, and his mana is restrained, so take advantage of his injury to quickly take away the divine soul! β
Looking at Carlos at his feet, Su Ling hesitated: "Can I ......?"
Kill a god?
"No way!" Menes immediately retorted, "You don't have the ability to kill gods, you can't destroy gods, gods can't die!" β
Su Ling no longer hesitated, turned on the flash, teleported to the shrine, took the soul of Horus that was enshrined on it, and then stuffed it into his mouth, and ran wildly.
Countless harpies had surrounded the temple at this time, and Carlos behind him was even more broken and reborn, swooping down on him angrily, his sharp claws flashing with cold light, and he was bound to take off the man's head.
Su Ling stood at the door of the temple, the outside had been blocked by a sandstorm, surrounded by harpys, and behind him was the high priest of Horus, each of which he could not stop.
"The High Priest can't leave the temple! Run now! β
But just as he was about to rush out of the temple, a yellowish light suddenly lit up at the entrance.
Su Ling tried to use teleportation to cross the barrier, but only to crash headlong into the ban.
"It's over, Carlos has activated the ban!" Menes said with some despair, "It's all your fault, just go to Buster, if you don't come here to grab the soul, you're going to die......"
