Chapter 45: The Beast Strikes
The land distribution was largely completed, and the follow-up was left to Bouthamon and Jett, and Menes returned home to continue his training.
Menes has been training during this time, trying to improve the undertaker's godhead ability, and at the same time, the spell of transforming into a mummy is getting better and better, and he has successfully transformed twice, but the failure rate is also very high, often dozens of experiments before succeeding once.
The undertaker's godhead training has made a lot of progress, and at present, Menes' combat ability can completely fight against several soldiers who have undergone strict training, and Menes often finds opponents to fight in the army, and no one is his opponent, which makes Menes very proud.
The cultural education of the main members of the family did not drop, and the study of general science by Daidia, Butehamon and Jett improved quickly, and later even Nana and Ypuya joined the study group.
Every time he studied, Jett always looked at Menes with curiosity and suspicion, he really didn't understand where Menes had learned all this knowledge.
Menes' explanation is that this is the wisdom given by the gods to the king of mummies, fortunately, there are really gods in this country, so Menes explained that everyone really believes, not only do they believe it, but Menes himself also believes that there are gods and strange beasts in this world, but they don't see it.
As the sun set, Menes was half-lying on the bed, reading the mourner's book by the light of the candles, and Nana rested her head comfortably on Menes' lap.
Nana is now used to everything about Menes, not as rigid as before, Menes is all she is now, and she is the only one for Menes. This makes Nana very happy, but also very worried, Nana understands her identity, she can't really marry Menes anyway, although Menes has always said that she will marry her in the future, but no one can accept the reality.
Everyone can now accept Nana eating together, studying together, and even taking charge of some affairs in the house like a hostess, Nana knows that all this is because of Menes's insistence, and if anything changes in Menes, it will all disappear.
Unless...... Unless you can have a child, a Menes child, even if you don't have an official status in the family, the child will be recognized.
It's just that...... Nana had secretly gone to the wandering prophet in the city, the prophetess known to the Kemerts as the Eye of the Mist, to explore her future and Menes' future.
The witch with the eyes of the fog is a blind person, and everyone says that she can see the future, and can see through the fog to the unpredictable future.
"She's just a poor blind woman, cheating her out of money, and you believe her?" said Menis after seeing the Eye of the Mist.
"Liar? can't be?" she said she would have a child with Menes in the future, and said she would be the daughter of Kemert? What does that mean?" Nana couldn't understand, but as long as she could have Menes' child, she didn't care about the rest.
Nana lay on the bed, gently sliding Menis's abs with her fingers, Menis couldn't help laughing, "It's so itchy, Nana, what do you want to do?"
Nana looked at Menis with affection, blushed and said, "Give birth, I want to give you a baby!"
Menes covered her mouth and coughed, and said lightly, "This...... The man-making movement is okay, but the matter of children is the blessing of the goddess of fertility, Mescohainet, it seems that I am not popular!"
Menes used the goddess of fertility to hide her embarrassment, and no one but Jet knew about the fate of the godhead of the king of mummies.
"Oh, then I pray to the goddess to bless me!" Nana prayed.
"Stop praying, I'm going to plow the field and sow seeds!" Menes shouted and threw Nana down.
Under the dim candlelight, the two sat on the bed and chatted after the passion faded.
Suddenly there was a terrified shout from the servant outside the door, "My lord, my lord, the enemy attack, the enemy attack!"
"What?" Menes bounced out of bed.
The servant rushed into the room without waiting for Menes' call, and Nana was so frightened that she hurriedly wrapped herself in a sheet.
Menes stood on the ground, dressed, and asked, "Don't panic, what kind of enemy attack? Where did it come from?"
"No, no...... No...... Adults are strange beasts, no, they are strange beasts, undead beasts, dead beasts!" said the servant incoherently.
With a "boom", Menes' brain rushed out with a burst of blood.
Isn't it in the Desert of Death? Why did you get here, it's terrible!
"How many?" Menes asked, donning her armor with the help of the servants, and Nana came to help wrapped in sheets.
"I don't know, my lord, I don't know, the undead beast is in the city, I didn't see it, it was General Nacht who asked me to inform you!" said the servant in a panic.
"Holy!" Menes scolded.
Menes rushed out of the room with her weapons all draped, and all the guards of the house had gathered in the courtyard to wait for Menes, who jumped on her horse and shouted, "Go!"
Menes ran out into the street with a guard of more than twenty men, and saw a fire in the southwest corner from afar, and from time to time let out a roar that moved the ground all day.
Menes rushed closer to take a closer look, gasping, oh my!
A giant scorpion with a body length of more than 20 meters wielded a giant claw to smash the surrounding houses.
It is said that the scorpion does have a human face, with long golden hair flowing around the neck, like the mane of a lion, and the huge human head emits a bursting roar, and the whole face is quickly elongated, revealing sharp fangs, where are the human teeth, which are clearly the fangs of the lion, and the upper and lower jaws are pulled to an exaggerated angle.
Saliva dripped on the ground, a foul smell erupted from her mouth, and her whole body was covered with bulging pus, like the back of a toad, and Menes almost didn't spit it out.
The undead beast swept through the houses and slowly advanced, and Nacht's army could not resist at all, and kept retreating, and the surrounding people scattered screaming and fleeing.
The soldiers in the back row kept shooting the scorpion beast with their bows and crossbows, and the bows and crossbows bounced off the beasts, but they couldn't hurt the beasts in the slightest, and Nacht kept retreating, shouting "Throw the torch, throw the torch!"
The soldier with the torch struggled to throw the torch on the body of the human-faced scorpion, and the spark hit the body of the human-faced scorpion and splashed out, and the scorpion beast roared angrily, and two hyena beasts were ejected from behind the tail wagging vigorously.
The two hyenas were like hyenas in the steppe, with erect manes, and turned twice in the air with maces, and fell into Nacht's team, and the hyena beasts swept through the crowd with a blow, and actually smashed the whole team out, and the wounded soldiers were churning in the air, falling heavily to the ground, and several people were killed on the spot.
The other soldiers shouted in horror, "Anubis, Anubis, the terrifying jackal god!"
In an instant, the ranks were in chaos, and some people began to scatter and flee.
Menes rode over and shouted, "I am Anubis, I am the king of mummies!"
Menes kicked hard, jumped up from his horse, drew his short knife and swooped down from the air, slashing at the head of the hyena beast, cutting the beast's head in two.
The soldiers regained their courage when they saw the lord's arrival and turned back to fight back.
Menes slashed off the head of the hyena beast with a single sword, and pulled out her short knife and slashed horizontally, knocking the hyena beast to the ground.
Menes turned and ran towards the other beast, and only two steps later he heard Nacht shout, "Be careful, my lord!"
Menes was stunned for a moment, and before she could react, the hyena beast that had been cut off actually smashed at Menes with a mace, and at the last moment, someone pounced and caught the blow with a shield.
The man flew out under the powerful impact, crashed into Menes, and knocked Menes out as well.
This collision saved Menes, and Nacht immediately organized his soldiers to rush forward and entangle the hyena beast.
Menes saw that Diel's shield had been smashed, and the whole person was also injured under the powerful impact, and a mouthful of blood flew out.
At this time, Menes didn't care about Diel, this damn undead beast couldn't be killed?
Menes took a breath and yelled at his guards, "Go and summon my mummies, meet at the Holy Cat Temple, go!"
Because it was a time of peace, Menes usually sent the mummy of the divine punishment to work, some grinding day and night, some continued to mine mining, and some simply farmed at night, in short, they didn't put it around, and it was really not easy to gather now.
Menes said to Nacht, "Retreat, retreat, retreat, retreat, retreat to the temple." ”
Menes picked up Dill and retreated towards the temple.
In the current situation, everyone is not the opponent of the undead beast at all, and if you continue to fight like this, it is just to send you to death, only by delaying time and waiting for the mummy to come, it is fair for the undead undead to fight the undead mummy this time.
Nacht heard the order and ordered everyone to retreat, but the two hyena beasts were willing to let them go, biting the army tightly, and they couldn't retreat at all, and the slightest turn would turn into a massacre.
When Nacht saw this, he shouted, "My lord, you withdraw first, and we will take it, otherwise everyone will die!"
"Phew!, what the hell are you talking about!" Menes scolded.
"Lead them into the trail, and I'll cut them off!" Menis roared.
That huge human-faced scorpion beast has extremely strong combat effectiveness, but it seems that its IQ is worrying, and it has been busy demolishing houses in the back, and has not joined the combat group, otherwise his army would have been gone for a long time.
Menes looked at the human-faced scorpion, climbed up on the roof of the house and approached the human-faced scorpion from the roof, and yelled at it, and the human-faced scorpion saw Menes roaring and swung its claws at Menes.
Because Menes has the godhead of the mourner, he is super capable, jumps high, runs fast, has great strength, and when the giant claw swings over, Menes jumps to dodge the attack, and his backhand is a knife on the giant claw of the human-faced scorpion, which is considered to scratch the itch for this guy.
The human-faced scorpion began to move under the teasing of Menes, who kept dodging and continued to run towards a nearby three-story building.
