Chapter 170: The Dead Monarch (500,000 words can be slaughtered, and if you raise it again, you will die 555)

"This is..."

"This is the door to the afterlife."

In the dim space, the lights flickered, illuminating the stone door in front of them.

The stone gate is unusually large, giving the feeling of leading to another world.

It has a 'Hui' glyph pattern on it and is engraved with religious scriptures.

Dr. Nick scanned the scriptures with a magnifying glass and excitedly said, "That's right. ”

"This is a door to the afterlife, and in ancient Egyptian legends, you can walk through this door and you can go to the afterlife."

Chariel, a survival expert, smiled and said, "Then if we go now, will we be able to go to the future?" ”

"The door to the afterlife, not the door to the future."

Amy corrected him, saying, "Ancient Egypt believed that after death, people had to pass through the door of the afterlife before they could be reincarnated as human beings. ”

"Instead of going to the future."

Computer expert Kelly lamented: "The doctor's intuition this time is so accurate that I didn't need to investigate to find this place." ”

Dr. Nick's expression was slightly embarrassed, and he coughed dryly, "I'm just lucky." ”

He didn't say it was Azu's reminder.

He trusted the judgment of the people of his homeland, so he was able to find a hidden entrance under a mountain cliff, and thus discovered this 'door to the afterlife'.

Captain Hank touched the stone door and said, "This is extremely hard granite, what, do you want us to blow it up?" ”

Dr. Nick was taken aback: "No, no, no, there's no need for that. ”

He introduced.

"This is a tomb door, there should be a switch to enter, I'll look for it...."

Azu wasn't interested in waiting for the Doctor to explore slowly, he took advantage of everyone's attention on the 'Gate to the Afterlife'.

The body blurred, pierced through the rocks, and entered the world behind the door.

Behind the door is a staircase leading to the ground, also made of granite, which has not been significantly corroded even after the erosion of time.

Largely in its original form, it leads all the way to the underground, as if going deep into hell.

Azu strode down, took out the 'Dark Divine Book', and turned to the page of 'Exorcising the Undead'.

He pressed his hand to the page of the book, which was painted with mysterious symbols and patterns, and immediately the page began to glow with a miserable green glow.

These flames of light poured out of the pages, swimming rapidly around Azu, and drawing intricate symbols.

Symbols and symbols are connected to form some lines and build some patterns.

The patterns are connected with the patterns to form a complex circle.

This huge, glowing circle of green illuminates the underworld.

Azu was in the center of this circle, and his face was extremely pale, like a demon who had just crawled out of hell.

Then the circle 'buzzed' and scattered, and one symbol after another, one pattern after another, all burst into a dark green flame.

Billions of flames of light flew out and disappeared into the darkness.

A moment later.

On the stone steps in front of Azu, a gray head popped out.

Then the head rose, and a figure crawled out of the stone steps.

It was a mummy, but the whole body was illusory and had no texture.

Wisps of gray smoke drifted from the edges of the body, and they drifted into the air.

It's an undead.

Subsequently, undead spirits like this continued to emerge from Azu's side.

Many of them are mummies, but among them, there are also locals dressed in strange costumes.

There are women with thin cheeks, men who are so thin that they can see their ribs, and old men who are hunched over.

Azu's 'Exorcism of the Undead' awakens the dead in this area, and they are summoned and under the influence of magic, they are at the mercy of Azu.

Azu felt it.

The things that these spirits are able to see, hear, and feel.

can share with him.

With so many undead here, the amount of information shared is naturally ridiculously large.

Thanks to Azu's 'quantum brain', he can share this information.

Otherwise, just sharing information with the undead will blow up your head.

Azu didn't need to speak, a thought went down, and the undead scattered.

Turned into Azu's eyes and ears, and reconnoitred for him what was going on underground.

Soon Azu discovered that after the stone steps led to the bottom, there was an extremely open space.

It is not a complex cave space, but a flat, obviously artificially excavated space.

At the end of this space, there is a pyramid.

It's not the same as the one found in central Jordan.

The top of the pyramid is not just above the ground.

It is entirely located on the open, flat ground of the subterranean space.

At the base of the pyramid there is a heavy stone door that opens in pairs, and on either side there are pillars that hold up the tickets.

Above the gate, there is a statue of the pharaoh, of course, which pharaoh it is, Azu does not understand.

A moment later.

Azu came to this heavy stone door, where the undead kept coming in and out, and even some of the undead stood beside him, hanging their heads, but raised their hands and pointed at the stone door, as if guiding Azu.

Azu's figure blurred, easily submerged into the stone door, and did not waste his strength and time to push the door open.

Even though it was just a moment for him.

The stone gate was dark, and Azu's eyes lit up with a little brilliance.

Immediately see the scene clearly.

Behind the door was a passage that was not too wide but not narrow, and at the end of the passage there were high-backed chairs.

It is set on a raised platform.

There is a statue of a dog's head and a scythe in his hand, which is none other than the Egyptian god of death: Anubis.

Behind the statue and the high-backed chair is a towering door with intricate patterns and ancient Egyptian script.

Azu recovers the entity and walks towards the end of the passage.

At this moment, he suddenly saw that the statue sitting on the high-backed chair suddenly trembled slightly.

Then it shook and shook off countless dusts.

Then the statue, which had been sitting alone in the dark for an unknown number of centuries, came to life.

At the same time, some information surfaced on Azu's retina.

[You initiated the skirmish event.] 】

[Event Name: Ancient Secrets. Necromancer. 】

[Description: This is the mausoleum of Tutambeken, the elder of the 'Undead Empire', a powerful magician who specializes in necromancy. He uses his magic to make his long-dead servants serve him for eternity. Now, you've alarmed his grave keepers! 】

[Event Request: Use magic to level this mausoleum.] 】

【Event begins!】 】

......

Azu was stunned.

"Flatten this mausoleum with magic?"

He burst out laughing.

"That's interesting."

Meanwhile.

Located on the top floor of this mausoleum, in the middle of the main curtain, a coffin made of gold suddenly shook.

Then the lid of the coffin opened a slit, and from the dark crack, a black, viscous liquid poured out.

At the same time, in the midst of the liquid, a withered hand reached out.

In front of the door of the afterlife.

Click.

There was a soft thud.

In the middle of the stone door in the shape of a 'hui', a piece of granite has been moved back, revealing a gap for one person to pass through.

"It worked."

Assistant Vic said excitedly.

The others cheered.

Computer expert Kelly wiped her sweat, and in her computer, there was a 3D model of the 'Gate to the Afterlife'.

It is not difficult to see from the model that there is a complex structure in the door, which was detected using sonar equipment, and then reproduced by Kelly on a computer with 3D modeling.

This makes it easier for Dr. Nick to decipher the true way to open the door to the tomb.

"Well done."

"Now we can go in."

"I can't help but want to see what's in there."

A member of the archaeological team seemed excited, excited.

As the captain, Hank was not impulsive: "Wait a minute, let's see what's going on inside." ”

He pulls out a grenade-like metal orb, activates certain functions, and Hank throws the orb into it.

The metal ball quickly rolled into the darkness.

The captain looked at the tactical computer on his wrist again, which showed some data.

"It's good, there's no toxins in the air."

"There's plenty of oxygen, and it looks like there's either a huge space or a ventilation system."

After looking at some parameters, Hank said, "Tiger and I went in first, then the Doctor and the archaeological team." ”

"Tank, Robin, you royal highnesses."

"Kama, you and the Doctor, Mr. John, and they are acting together."

After the assignment, Hank will enter the door.

But I heard Kama say "Huh", "Mr. John is gone." ”

"What!"

Hank jerked his head back, picked up his flashlight, and shone it at the archaeological team.

One after another, I didn't find the blond man.

Dr. Nick's assistant, Vic whispered.

"The guide didn't say that no one who entered the Devil's Valley would ever appear again."

"Could it be that they just disappeared like that?"

Amy glared at him, "Shut your crow's mouth." ”

Then he said, "Mr. John will be fine." ”

Dr. Nick coughed dryly and said, "Let's go, don't worry John, he can take care of himself." ”

"What we have to worry about is ourselves."

The old doctor remembered the bloody experience in the pyramid last time.

Now the Motherland is not around.

They are indeed the ones who should be worried.

Hank looked at the old man, "Are you sure?" ”

Dr. Nick nodded, "I'm absolutely sure." ”

Hank shrugged his shoulders, "Okay then. ”

"As I said, let's go."

He and Tiger enter the gate first, followed by Dr. Nick, Amy, Kama, and others.

The bald tank and sniper Robin walk last.

The team passed through the 'Gate of the Afterlife' and came to the stone steps behind the gate.

Hank attaches the flashlight to his rifle and holds it in a ready-to-shoot position.

Step by step.

"Be careful."

"If there is danger, we will evacuate immediately."

As he spoke, Hank suddenly saw it.

In the light, at the dozen or so stone steps below, a figure suddenly appeared.

It was a woman.

Stand next to the stone steps.

With his head down, he raised his hand and made a 'stop' gesture.

Then it flashed.

Disappear on the stone steps.

See this scene.

Even mercenaries like Hank, who have experienced life and death, can't help but feel numb on their scalps.

Not to mention the others.

"What's that?"

"Is it a ghost?"

"Shall we go back?"

The members of the archaeological team retreated.

in the pyramid.

The frightened faces of Hank and the others flashed in front of Azu's eyes, and he smiled.

He drove an undead to warn the team.

Let them not come down.

As for whether they listened to persuasion or not, Azu didn't care, he specially warned those people, or for the sake of getting along fairly happily these days.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have wasted his energy doing these things.

Now, he saw the undead burrowing into that 'Anubis' one after another.

It wasn't actually an 'anubis', but a mummy with a kobold's hood.

It should be the masterpiece of Tutambeken.

A corpse resurrected by magic.

Now, after the undead awakened by Azu burrowed into the mummy, he manipulated the mummy and used its own scythe to cut off the dog's head.

The dog's head rolled to Azu's feet.

Azu raised his leg and stepped on it, and then saw the mummy's body fall.

A scarab crawled out of it.

It's just that the normal scarab beetle is black, but this one is white.

And there are some patterns on the back shell, which makes up the appearance of a human face, which is very mad.

It flapped its wings and flew into the air, and after a moment of flying, it seemed to be weathered, turning into white sand and scattering all over the ground.

"Is it some kind of medium?"

Azu looked at the scarab stone powder on the ground and thought thoughtfully.

He walked over to the mummy's corpse, thought for a moment, and took out the 'Book of Darkness'.

The dark, evil book was opened by Azu.

As the pages turned, a black aura naturally wafted from the book, and there were sparks shining inside.

Azu turned the page to the page of 'Making Hatred'.

The mysterious symbols on this page constantly exude an illusory dark green aura, and from time to time these auras combine to form an extremely distorted and terrifying face that seems to hate all living things in the world.

Azu pressed his hand to the page, activating the magic.

Suddenly, those dark green breaths continued to slowly emit out, but boiled.

They squirted into the air, then whistled in, pouring into the mummy on the ground.

The mummy trembled violently, and the already dry corpse suddenly regenerated flesh and blood, and its form swelled rapidly.

Immediately, the strips of cloth either broke or spread out, revealing the grayish-white, dull skin inside.

At the same time, there was also the head that fell not far away.

Suddenly, the Anubis hood suddenly cracked, and the big man's head, which had grown in a circle, appeared from the hood.

It looked like a middle-aged man with deep nasolabial folds.

An eyeball protruded from its socket and rolled slightly.

The teeth protrude out of the lips, exposing a mouthful of sharp teeth to the air.

On the neck of the head, some red tentacles grow, and they crawl like the tentacles of an octopus.

Let this head come towards the body.

The mummy's bloated body crawled out, and the body became obese, like a big fat man.

And there has been a mutation.

Its left hand grew larger and thicker, and bones pierced the skin in the palm of its hand, transforming it into the shape of an axe.

Its right hand became two, one normal and one shorter.

The two right arms were the same as the left hand, the bones bulging out and dissolving into a bone hammer and a bone blade of Bai Sensen.

On the stomach of the corpse, ribs emerged one after another, intertwined with each other, like a closed mouth.

Then.

The head had crawled up to its neck, and its tentacles had all burrowed under its neck, and it was engaged.

But its face turned to its back, and the 'abomination' raised its right hand and flicked its head with a bone hammer.

Let it go to the front.

Then let out a roar and was about to rush out of the pyramid, apparently feeling the human breath of Dr. Nick.

Fortunately, it is bound by magic, and Azu has absolute control over it.

Azu immediately issued a command, and the hatred stopped, and the one-eyed welled up with a thick malice, and his face was unwilling, but he still turned around and ran on two thick legs.

Rushed like a chariot into the gate at the end of the passage.

Soon.

The roars of other monsters rang out from the gates.

Azu calmly walked forward.

The spirits of the undead he drove poured into the gates like a tidal wave to take part in the battle to clean up the mausoleum.

Azu didn't make a move.

Events require him to use magic to level the mausoleum.

Second, he also wanted to see what the undead and the abomination could do.

I have to say.

The elder of the 'Undead Empire' left behind a lot of monsters in his mausoleum, which contained a large number of mummy zombies and many animal walking corpses.

As you can imagine.

If it weren't for Azu, Dr. Nick and his team would have died tragically in this pyramid.

But now, the monster's side has been slaughtered.

Originally, Azu thought that the undead could only be used as scouts, but now he found that they also have many ways to attack.

Except for possession.

These undead have other abilities.

One is telekinesis, which are able to use their minds to move objects like ghosts and evil spirits in movies.

So those mummy zombies or animal walking corpses will always fly out inexplicably, or some cold weapons in the mausoleum will suddenly fly out on their own, and then stab into the heads of those zombies or walking corpses.

One is the cryogenic attack, which blows cold wind from their mouths that freezes things.

These cold winds have an effect even on zombies and walking corpses, and when they are blown by the cold wind of the undead, zombies and walking corpses will form a thick layer of frost on the surface of their bodies, and then their movements will become sluggish.

The most violent means of the undead is to blow themselves up.

They will first possess the target's body, and then explode their souls, creating massive destructive power and shockwaves.

Those zombies and animal walking corpses only need a single undead bomb to shatter their bones.

Abomination is clearly more interested in physical means than the undead.

It will use its tremendous force to split its target in two and smash it into a pulp.

Its mental contamination has no effect on the mummified zombies and animal walking dead.

But when it moves, it emits a miserable green mist.

It's the 'Corrosive Mist', and they will make the bodies of zombie walking corpses rot, turning them into puddles of rotten flesh in just a moment.

Abomination can also use this ability, as the ribs on its belly open to the sides, tearing its belly apart and emitting a green mist from within.

It will sweep this green mist around, causing widespread corrosion, but it will drain its power.

Often, after using such an attack, it will grab the corpse next to it and throw it into its stomach, digesting the corpse to replenish its energy.

In Azu's view, abomination is like a degraded version of Doom Day.

Unless it can be wiped out completely, it will fight forever.

Unlike Doom Day, as long as there are corpses on the battlefield, Azu can continue to create hatred.

Just like today.

The corpses along the way were all used by Azu to create abomination.

Using the spirits of the dead and abomination to sweep the mausoleum, Azu gradually made his way to the top of the pyramid like a dead monarch.
