Chapter 166: The Truth About the Mummy
"Irri, bless everyone!" Rocco snorted, and a short two-foot-long knife appeared in each of his hands, and on the other side, Christa immediately took out her own double swords.
Without the slightest hesitation, Yi Ri chanted a few words softly, and with a wave of his hand, the blessings of the acceleration technique and the angel had already fallen on everyone. At the same time, Yi Ri also took out a bottle from his arms, the mouth of the bottle was slightly tilted, and a thin stream spilled down. Iri reached out and flicked it at the trickle, and the trickle turned into a splash and landed on Rocco and Christa's weapons. I saw that a milky white halo appeared on the weapons of Rocco and Christa at the same time, and a divine aura emanated. Sprinkle water to give divine attributes to weapons, which is a move specifically aimed at demons, which is one of the reasons why Kristar strongly asked for Izri.
As soon as the sprinkler blessing was finished, Rocco appeared in the middle of the three mummies, and with a flash of the weapon in his hand, when he looked at Rocco again, he was already back in front of the group, and the mummies were paralyzed and turned into a pile of rotting bandages.
In the blink of an eye, Rocco had already solved the three mummies, and Christa ran to Rocco's side, stretched out her hand and gently slapped him on the shoulder, and laughed: "Grandpa Rocco, you are so amazing!"
Starmark was also a little surprised, but he wasn't surprised by Rocco's strength, after all, the other party was the hall master of the Assassins Guild Assassination Hall, and it was nothing to show this strength. Starmark was surprised because he found out that the mummy had turned into a pile of bandages after being disposed of by Rocco, what did this prove?
Prove that it is empty, and there are no legendary carrion!
Rocco saw what the star mark was thinking, and explained: "Don't be surprised, Xiaoyou, these mummies have no substance. After so many years of investigation, these mummies are supposed to be evil spirits formed through an evil energy. ”
Speaking of this, Rocco paused and sighed, "Hey, but that's why we haven't been able to successfully explore the pyramids for a long time. Because these evil spirits are spirits, with our attacks, they can't hurt them at all, and only with the divine power bestowed by the clergy can they be temporarily restrained. ”
"Temporary restraint?" Starmark asked.
Rocco nodded, pointed to the rotting bandages on the ground, and said, "Do you see the black gas on it? Once the black energy expells the divine power that remains on it, this mummy will be resurrected." ”
Starmark looked closely, and sure enough, as Rocco said, there was a faint surge of black qi on those rotten bandages, and the little divine power left by the weapon with the blessing of sprinkling water was being eroded by these black qi little by little.
With a movement in his heart, Starmark reached forward, and a marble-sized fireball shot out from his fingertips.
"It's useless, we've asked the bishop of the Great Sanctuary to try to purify these bandages with the Holy Flame, but although these bandages look rotten, they are actually invulnerable, and even the Holy Flame is extremely difficult to remove them..."
Before he could finish his sentence, Rocco choked on his words, as he saw the orange flame emitted by the starmark, quickly incinerating the extremely difficult bandage in his mouth.
"You can destroy this bandage, what kind of flame is this!" Seeing that Starmark has the ability to burn these bandages, even Rocco could hardly suppress the excitement in his heart!
Because of the geographical environment, Monrok City is much poorer than other cities, and the three major demon nests of the Demon King Seal, Pyramid, and Sphinx Crypt need to send a lot of manpower and material resources to defend it, resulting in Monrok City being even poorer. Although the state sent a large number of troops to help guard the Demon King's Rift, and the Assassins' Guild directly stopped the task of guarding the Sphinx's crypt, the pyramid could only be guarded by the city itself, so the pyramid's defense was actually the weakest, and if it was changed to another place, Carl and Lucci might not be able to rush in.
Manpower is one thing, and feeding these people is also a large amount of material expenses, because of the desert in the city, farming is restricted, most of the materials have to rely on state subsidies to maintain. Although the number of guards in the pyramid is not the largest, several posts are rotated, plus the people who have emergency plans, there are also several hundred. For other cities, feeding a few hundred people may not be a big deal, but for Monroc, who is already poor, the pressure on this expense is not small.
Whether it is the Assassins' Guild or the Lord of Monrok, they have exhausted all kinds of methods to purify the pyramid, but after paying a lot of costs, they find that they can't deal with these mummies at all, even if they hire a lot of priests to purify them, it is only a lot of work, but the results are very subtle.
That's why Rocco was so excited when he saw Starmark so easily incinerate the rotten bandages.
Starmark smiled and said, "I don't know what kind of flame this is, it suddenly came when I woke up." ”
Rocco was not upset that Starmark did not say the source of the flames, in his opinion, Starmark was correct not to say it, if he had this ability, he would not easily say it to others, no matter what ability it was, the fewer people who understood, the stronger it would be.
"Do you use this kind of flame and consume a lot?" was what Rocco really wanted to ask.
Seeing Rocco's excited expression, Starmark probably understood the meaning of this sentence in his heart, so he said: "It's okay, it's not a big problem to use it for a short time, but it's difficult to guarantee it for a long time." ”
The words of the star mark are a bit ambiguous, and it is not clear how long it is short and how long it is, but in many people's ears, it means that it cannot be used for a long time.
Rocco naturally thought so, and sighed with some disappointment: "Sure enough, you still can't use it... Ay. Starmark listened, but didn't answer, he wasn't one to meddle in other troublesome things.
After all, Rocco has a lot of experience, so he quickly adjusted his mood and said: "Since the ability of Starmark Xiaoyou can't be used too much, try to save as much as possible, let me open the way first, Krista and Iri will assist from the side, Xiaoyou just needs to wait for the critical moment to make a move." ”
In this way, Starmark inexplicably became the easiest one, with Rocco, the hall master of the Assassination Hall, opening the way, he didn't have to do anything else except hold the child...
......
The pyramid has three floors
"It's so much brighter! I finally don't have to light it up for you. Carl withdrew the ball of thunder from his hand, and they didn't face a fight along the way. These mummies only have the most instinctive consciousness, and in the face of the aura emanating from Karl, the supreme demon, the fear of their souls makes them dare not approach Karl at all, let alone fight with Karl.
The three floors of the pyramid are not only much brighter than the first two, but also no longer a labyrinth. The entire three-story area is only 780,000 square meters, which is not much larger than a playground.
"Purr... Snorr...", a deep voice came into the ears of Carl and Ruchi.
"Listen, what's a sound?" Karl asked, looking at Luffy.
Lucci didn't speak, but looked intently in one direction.
The third floor was empty, and there was nothing else in the entire three floors except for a huge throne made of gold in the middle, and dozens of coffins on both sides, and the direction that Lucci was looking at was the golden throne in the center.
"Wow, I've found a treasure!Xiao Luzi, you see if Uncle Carl is very powerful!" Carl said excitedly.
Lucci didn't care about arguing with Carl at this point, and the throne had already drawn all her attention. The throne made of gold, ten meters high, was inlaid with precious stones, and that was not the point, the point was that on this golden throne sat a mummy with a crown and a dark purple bandage.
The dark purple mummy sat on the throne, and it was clear that the golden throne ten meters away was tailor-made for him.
"Snorr..." The voice sounded one after another, and the two of them could already determine that the origin of the sound was this dark purple mummy.
"Staff of Eternity!" it was Ruchi who spoke, her voice unquenchable with excitement.
"Where, where?" said Karl, and hurried to find it.
"Behind it!" Luqi stretched out his hand and pointed at Karl in the direction that Luqi was pointing, and sure enough, behind the dark purple mummy, a scepter with a purple gem on the top was revealed, because this scepter was similar to the color of the throne, so Carl didn't notice it at first.
Carl's eyes lit up when he saw the Staff of Eternity, and he laughed and said, "Haha, it's here!
"Wait a minute! Don't worry!" Luffy was startled and tried to stop Carl, but the latter ignored him and ran straight towards the throne. Carl was fine the rest of the time, but once it was something he had decided, it was difficult to convince.
At Carl's speed, the distance of 100 meters was instantaneous, and it was too late for Lucci to catch up with him.
"Hey~" On tiptoe, Carl jumped and jumped directly onto the dark purple mummy's lap, his figure compared to the other party, like a kitten.
"Be careful, it might be dangerous!"
"What danger can there be, this guy is asleep. Karl shouted at Luffy.
This voice made Lucci's scalp tingle, and she almost scolded the street: "Are you an idiot? It's dangerous to fall asleep! It's not dead!"
With a frown, Lurgy hurriedly made a silent gesture and motioned for Carl to be quieter and quietly take out the Staff of Eternity.
Karl was obedient this time, and didn't shout again, but his movements were not light at all, and he jumped onto the shoulder of the dark purple mummy again, and reached out to pull the staff of eternity that was leaning behind the purple mummy.
Carl grasped the Staff of Eternity with both hands, and then used his arms to pull it out, but he didn't expect that he pulled it out twice, but the Staff of Eternity only lifted up a small section, and it was still far from being completely pulled out.
"He's holding it down, what should he do?" Karl shouted again, this time against the purple mummy's ear as Karl stood on the other's shoulder.
Seeing this, Luffy's hairs stood on end, and she desperately gestured to Karbi to keep him silent. Luffy stretched out his hand and pointed at Karl wildly, waved his hand desperately, then slammed the dark purple mummy, and finally made a silent gesture.
"Little Luzi told me not to let it snore, why not let it snore?" Karl frowned, looking at Luffy's movements with a confused expression, and analyzed Lurgy's meaning with his own thoughts.
Then Luffy began to gesture again, she pointed at Carl again, and then at the dark purple mummy, made a nudge motion, and then quickly waved her hand, then made a fist with her right hand, and hit her left hand.
Karl saw Luffy's slight thought, his eyes lit up, and he nodded vigorously.
"I see!" Carl thought as he gave a thumbs up to Lucci!
