Leon sighed and continued to look around.

It was empty and quiet, only the cold wind howled in my ears, and there was a dead silence, and there was no sign of any living person.

He tried to call out to his companions: "Hey...... Anyone? Did anyone hear that? ”

In response to him, there is only the endless vastness, the eternal loneliness.

"How do I leave?" Leon muttered to himself.

Suddenly, he felt a familiar smell.

It was a very unique aroma, with both the aroma of ancient incense and the salty smell of the sea, as if to tell Leon—

"Welcome to Whale Island!"

Li Ang followed the smell and looked, and five meters away from him, stood a sculpture.

It was a black stone statue as large as a three-story building, with a hideous and ferocious form, like an ancient troll, with two giant bat wings spread out, obscuring the sun, enveloping the whole world in darkness, except for a ray of light from the depths of darkness.

The forehead of the huge stone statue is covered with scales and bones, in the shape of an inverted bowl, and horns are born on the top of the head.

Its eyes were closed, its sockets sunken, empty and devoid of eyeballs, and the tip of its nose was inlaid with a silver-gray crystal, emitting a pale golden glow, illuminating a blur of light and shadow.

"It's an illusion!" Leon reacted instantly.

He just entered the "tomb fantasy" in the ancient tomb, and in reality, he is using his mobile phone to photograph the "tomb".

Although the statues in the tomb are lifelike, due to the passage of time, the sculptures have been mottled and rusted, and the color has faded to reveal their original faces.

"I see."

It dawned on Leon that the black sculpture was used to confuse the explorer.

The tomb is full of traps, and the slightest mistake can be a catastrophe, but if you don't know where the traps are, it's useless to be shrewd and cautious.

On the epitaph of this ancient ruin, a sentence is clearly marked -

"Those who enter the ancient tomb have only one way to die."

"It seems that this tomb does bury a prince and nobleman, but he is by no means a good person."

Leon pursed his lips and walked to the pile of badly damaged armor next to him, flipping through it and checking it out.

He first examined the armor and found it to be mutilated and rusty, as if it had been pulled out and thrown aside, then he smeared oil paint on the dirt and rocks and painted various patterns, and finally buried them somewhere in the tomb.

The owner of this ancient tomb is obviously fond of graffiti, and he wonders why he left such a bunch of things here.

Leon observed it carefully for a while, and suddenly found that the chest part of a complete armor seemed to be faintly engraved with a line of words.

"Could it be some clue?" Leon's mind was racing.

He picked up the armor and looked closer, and found that the lines of writing were indeed engraved on the surface of the armor, but they were covered by heavy rust and were not easy to read.

Li Ang took out a pen and paper from his backpack, wrote quickly, and read a few lines together: "...... My name is Leon and I'm here at 8:30 this morning.

In this tomb, there is a skeleton dressed in golden armor, wearing a crown and holding a long sword......

Based on 12 classical classics such as the International English Language, the Bible, and the Mona Lisa, as well as the history of navigation over the years, I suspect that it is the Egyptian prince Artemis.

But......

“…… At the time, Artemis was fighting someone else. ”

"His opponent should be a woman with long black hair, a gorgeous dress, and a black feather mask."

Leon looked up at the dome of the ancient tomb and whispered:

"The weapon she wields is a pitch-black short sword.

In this war, she defeated the Egyptian prince Artemis, but Artemis's body disappeared without a trace, leaving behind a set of worn gold armor. ”

Leon frowned and pondered, "Artemis's identity is already confirmed, a member of the ancient Egyptian lineage. ”

He looked around and found nothing but the mighty golden statue.

"Perha......ps," Leon reached out to touch the golden statue, "this armor is Artemis' equipment?" ”

He searched again, and found that inside the golden armor was a thin iron plate, made of some kind of animal leather.

Leon pulled out the thin iron plate and unfolded it to find that it was densely painted with runes and words, somewhat similar to some kind of mysterious ritual.

Leon stared for a moment, put the thin iron plate on the ground, sat cross-legged, and meditated in silence.

This thin iron plate is the "key" used to activate the mechanism, and it is only necessary to insert the iron plate into the groove and press the text engraved on it to activate the mechanism.

This is an extremely dangerous attempt, because if it fails, the trap will be completely activated and turn into a terrifying killing move.

If he fails, Leon will surely die.

He closed his eyes, his head slightly tilted, and the silhouette of his side face was angular, and his muscles were bulging, full of a wild sense of power.

"Whew!"

Li Ang slowly exhaled a breath of turbidity, pressed his right palm against the ground, and pressed hard, pushing the thin iron plate into the groove.

Thundered!

The ground shook violently, dust fell, and a majestic force erupted from the ground, shaking the entire ancient tomb.

Click, click, click!

The floor shattered and disintegrated, and a ball of flames rose into the sky, a blazing heat that swept through the body.

Leon's body twisted and changed under the heat, gradually expanding and contracting, bones and veins made a piercing creaking sound, and patches of blood-red veins appeared on the surface of his skin, spreading like cobwebs to every inch of flesh and blood.

A monstrous monster half a man tall appeared on Leon's body, its entire bronze color, six huge claws on its abdomen, a lizard-like head, and a hooked tooth at the end of its tail.

Its body was covered in black markings, and a viscous liquid oozed from the cracks in its scales.

The monster's eyes shimmered green, full of tyranny and bloodthirsty.

"This is the evil dragon in ancient Egyptian mythology, the 'ancestor of the dragon', and the god that the Egyptians worshipped.

Its name is Hades, and it is a demon king from ancient Egyptian mythology.

He is also mentioned in ancient Greek mythology, saying that he had seven eyes, had a serpent's head, was good at spewing fire, possessed supernatural powers, and loved to hunt.

However, the description of ancient Greek mythology is more superficial, and only introduces its basic properties and simple exercises. ”

Leon stood on top of Hades' head and whispered to himself.

"Have I summoned the dragon god now, or have I summoned the soul of an evil dragon?

Is this skeleton the remains of Hades? ”

"I'm really bad luck."

Leon sighed, raised his right arm, and commanded Hades to move forward, ready to explore the core area of the tomb.

Hades took a few steps forward, then suddenly stopped and tilted his head to look at Leon.
