Chapter 33 Going Deep Into It, the Scorpion Emperor

"kill!"

In the dark rain forest, broken limbs and broken arms were scattered on the ground.

Neville, who had always been taciturn, was eager to kill. He waved his bright dagger like the wind and advanced a few steps forward. Then, he suddenly heard a murmur of incantations ringing in his ears.

He looked up suddenly and found that deep in the canopy of trees above his head, an old dwarf with bone jewelry all over his body was chanting witchcraft spells towards him.

The powerful perception it brought reminded him that even if he was still wearing it, there would be absolutely no good outcome if he was hit by this witchcraft.

He hurriedly changed his body shape, trying to get rid of the opponent's lock, but the malice like a poisonous snake wrapped around his skin still did not disappear.

Just when he took a strong breath and was about to rush forward and kill the dwarf wizard.

With a gunshot, the dwarf wizard was shot directly into his left eye with a bullet, and then emerged from the back of his head with dark yellow brain matter and white skull.

Its corpse shook, and the condensed voodoo magic power completely lost control. Hard bone spurs drilled out from everywhere on the corpse, and like a hedgehog, it fell down from the tree and fell at Neville's feet.

Neville turned back gratefully, only to see Laura shooting away the more troublesome natives with ease.

Soon, with their efforts, this wave of indigenous dwarves was driven back.

Seeing these natives who had no fear or pain retreating, Clark and others breathed a sigh of relief. They were not using unparalleled perpetual motion machines. Comparing the intensity of the battle, they even discovered that if the natives continued to persist, In ten minutes, they might be stretched thin.

Clark took a deep breath and asked Imhotep: "Elder, what should we do next?"

Yinhetian looked at the direction in which the dwarfs were retreating, then shook his head and said with a smile: "These guys are not without intelligence. Since they are hurt from being beaten, they must not dare to disturb us again, and then they will move towards the pyramid at full speed! "

Sure enough, as mentioned, in the next section of the journey, apart from the difficulty of walking on the road underfoot, there were no other obstacles.

More than an hour later, they were only one step away from the pyramid. Under the cover of the jungle trees, an unusually tall golden pyramid was revealed, and the surrounding trees began to gradually become sparse.

Due to the spatial distortion effect of the pyramid, when Clark and others saw the pyramid from a distance, they did not think it was that strange. It was not until they came closer that they were deeply shocked by its unique architectural structure.

As the first of the seven wonders of the world, the Pyramid of Khufu that Clark once saw was only 146.5 meters tall, and the tower body was made of 2.3 million huge stones.

In this way, before the Eiffel Tower was built in 1889, it had been proud of all the buildings in the world and was the tallest of all buildings! It fully demonstrates the majesty of the Pharaoh's imperial power.

However, the pyramid in front of you now makes it impossible to measure its height, and you can't even figure out where its base is.

Surrounding the lower end of the pyramid is a moat-like canyon with a width of about ten meters and a bottomless "mouth" shape.

The lower end of the pyramid also extends infinitely towards the bottom of the Grand Canyon, gradually disappearing into the darkness and fog. No one knows where it leads specifically.

However, judging from the light of lava and sparkling will-o'-the-wisps faintly coming out of the depths of the canyon, as well as the shrill wind blowing from bottom to top from time to time, perhaps this is the way to the underworld.

"The Pyramid of the Scorpion King is truly a miracle..." Yinhetian looked at the majestic building in front of him and couldn't help but praise it.

The whole pyramid,

There is no trace of masonry at all. It seems to be carved from a whole boulder. Although it looks like stone, it has a golden metallic luster.

Moreover, there is no trace of sand erosion on the surface of the pyramid, and there are no weeds, vines or the like growing on it.

In addition, the tower of the pyramid is also carved with hieroglyphs used by the ancient Egyptians to worship the god Anubis. Those densely packed sacrificial texts without any repetition are more than those recorded above.

They circled half a circle around the pyramid and walked to the front entrance, where a narrow stone bridge spanned the canyon.

As far as the eye can see, under the white light of the forest, two rows of golden beast sculptures are clearly visible. They are the jackal, the symbol of Anubis.

Behind these two rows of sculptures, facing their direction, a towering stone door reveals the temple inside the pyramid.

Everyone carefully crossed the stone bridge and walked into the temple, and a breath of ancient history that had been covered in dust for a long time hit their faces.

At that moment, Imhotep even felt as if he had returned to Egypt 2,500 years ago. In that dream, he had received the revelation of building the pyramids. Everything around him seemed so familiar.

Rows of golden jackal warrior statues are as bright as new, standing on the stone platform beside the wall holding spears.

On both sides of the aisle, the blazing flames in the stone basins illuminated the entire temple with splendor.

After taking two more steps deeper, a deep entrance leading underground appeared in front of them.

A strong gust of wind blew from the tunnel, and a long and majestic whistling sound sounded in the ears of Clark and others.

The sound was both like the angry shouts of the ancient Egyptian gods and the shouts of countless soldiers on the battlefield.

For a moment, Clark and others even had the illusion that if they walked into this tunnel, they would immediately receive a thunderous strike from the ancient Egyptian gods.

Seeing this situation, Yinhetian sneered and said, "You are pretending to be a god!"

Then, with a movement of his body, he walked straight towards the ground.

Clark and others naturally followed without hesitation, and in the blink of an eye, they disappeared into the depths of the tunnel.

All the way down the long steps, a simple Scorpio pattern is traced on the ground at the end of the road. On both sides of the pattern are squatting images of Anubis' jackal heads.

Clark noticed that Imhotep stopped when he came here, and asked quickly: "Is there any problem?"

Imhotep carefully looked at the floor in front of him that was inlaid with a Scorpio pattern, as well as the crouching statues of Anubis on both sides, with a solemn look on his face.

"I feel the fluctuation of divine power." His words immediately made Clark nervous.

Divine power is a powerful force that can only be possessed by gods, and it is also the external manifestation of the authority of the gods.

Let alone Clark and the others, even if Dumbledore was here, facing the divine power left by Anubis, he would have to brace himself and deal with it carefully.

Fortunately, as a former high priest, Yinhetian looked at the endless divine power surging behind the two stone statues and the Scorpio pattern, and read the information contained in them.

"If you step here, you will be deprived of all glory!"

He read Anubis' message word for word.

"What does this mean?" Clark asked.

Imhotep thought for a while and said: "This means that everyone who passes by here will be deprived of extraordinary powers that do not belong to him and face challenges as a mortal."

After hearing this, Clark immediately thought of the chaotic magic that existed in wizards. If they had not completed the job transfer at this moment, they would become complete children as soon as they stood up.

At this time, Yinhetian had already taken the lead and stepped into the scope of the divine words.

"But this thing is not that scary. All the power of mortals originally came from the gifts of the gods, and they can naturally take it away at will.

But now humans have become independent and self-reliant. We have ignited ourselves and emitted dazzling brilliance. This brilliance cannot be taken away by Him, because it is our own thing! "

Along with his words, the statues on both sides also released two black shadows, roaring towards Khotan with the divine power of Anubis.

The black shadow looked like smoke at first glance, but upon closer inspection, it was actually nothing. All the light in that space had disappeared.

Deep darkness also enveloped Imhotep's body, and the curse that maintained his body instantly poured out of his features under a strong suction force, like a flood opening.

As the power of the curse was extracted, Imhotep's originally strong body began to shrink and shrivel at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Wrinkles began to appear at the corners of his eyes, his back began to curve, and even age spots appeared on his smooth bronze skin.

It was as if he had aged dozens of years in an instant.

However, as the extracted curse power became increasingly sparse, traces of pure white flames began to appear on his body.

That is the "love" that remains unchanged for mankind after being sealed in darkness for more than two thousand years.

Although the weak flame is still weak compared to Anubis's divine power, in essence, there is no difference between them.

The tiny flames emitted the same immortal radiance that allowed Imhotep to walk through Anubis's confinement with his head held high.

At this moment, there seemed to be a tremor in the underground of the pyramid, as if Anubis's anger was shaking the place.

But Imhotep had completely despised Him, ignored Anubis' incompetent rage, and staggered to the stone statue that sealed the Scorpion Emperor.

Clark and the others followed his steps and passed through the darkness smoothly one after another. They watched Imhotep wielding his spear and using the spell to unlock the seal of the Scorpion Emperor.

In a violent tremor, the tyrant from more than five thousand years ago broke out of the seal.

He pushed open the stone door that sealed him. At the same time, outside the pyramid, the movement of breaking the seal was not over yet.

The ground shook, making bursts of thunderous and persistent sounds, like underground lava tumbling. Huge sounds came from all directions, and the entire Amsi Rainforest was trembling.

Then, a dark scorpion-shaped shadow emerged from the white light ball at the top of the pyramid.

The shadows grew larger and larger, like rolling storm clouds, directly covering the entire Amsi Rainforest and beyond.

Wherever it went, the earth became pitch black, and all scenes were gloomy.

Anubis' army of death guards appeared in large swathes of Amsi Oasis accompanied by black shadows.

They lined up in neat formation, roaring to find traces of the enemy. The dwarf tribe in the rain forest was the first to suffer.

After a small vent, these ancient warriors who had been trapped in the underworld for thousands of years roared and rushed out of the desert.

They will uphold Anubis's will and bring killing and conquest to the entire world.

Along with the loud sound of the stone door sliding, a huge shadow also appeared in front of Clark and others.

That is a creepy and frightening monster just by looking at it!

As Anubis left behind a back-up attempt to awaken himself, the upper body of the Scorpion Emperor is the image of a majestic and violent man.

Muscles as hard as granite bulged on his body, and large and small scars were all over his body. It could be seen that the Scorpion King, who controlled the army of death to conquer Egypt thousands of years ago, must be a A mighty warrior.

However, at this time, the Scorpion King, who was designed and enslaved by Anubis, had transformed his two forearms into giant scorpion pincers, making clicking sounds like scissors.

And his lower body also turned into the image of the back half of a scorpion.

The huge body, comparable to that of an African rhinoceros, was covered with a shell as black as iron armor. Two rows of sharp scorpion feet would leave grooves when they ran over the masonry ground.

Not to mention his terrifying tail, with its gleaming barbed spines standing upright behind his back. The length of that tail spine was as long as a dagger!

Looking at this terrifying monster that seemed to climb up from the underworld, Hermione and Laura took a step back unconsciously.

However, after breaking the seal, the Scorpion Emperor immediately looked at Yin Hetian who was standing at the front.

A bloodthirsty smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. He held two huge pliers, and the jointed limbs of his lower body crawled rapidly. In the blink of an eye, he was in front of Imhotep, looking down at him with a bloody look that looked at prey. .

But what surprised and annoyed the Scorpion King was that the prey standing in front of him was obviously very old and could be knocked down by a gust of wind, but instead of showing fear or resistance, he looked at him very calmly.

"Momoyus!"

Yinhetian's voice calling the Scorpion King by his name was not loud, but it shook the whole stone room like a yellow bell.

He looked directly at the ferocious half-human, half-scorpion monster in front of him, without any fear or disgust. Instead, he seemed to be looking at a naughty child, his eyes full of tolerance and warmth.

This kind of kindness also followed his eyes and was directly conveyed to the heart of the Scorpion Emperor.

The Scorpion Emperor took a few steps back and shook his head, trying to get rid of the sudden weakness and kindness from his mind.

At this time, Imhotep finally looked at him and sighed: "Killing you will destroy Anubis's plan and prevent him from waking up from his long sleep, right?"

For the first time, the Scorpion Emperor paid attention to the withered old man in front of him, and a roaring voice came out from the bottom of his throat: "Who are you? Why do you know this?"
