Chapter 556 74 Temple of Anubis (3)
"He should be dead."
"He must be dead. Look at all the blood on him! How could a mortal survive the attack of a soul-devouring beast?!"
"I have been reincarnated twice in this temple for 120 years, but I have never seen anything like this!"
The person who spoke in silence was a Styx priest in a deep blue robe. He and his companion walked to Loki's side. Just as he grabbed one of Loki's feet, his other companion looked at the soul-devouring beast next to him.
"This guy is really amazing!
He actually killed one, no, two soul-devouring beasts!"
"Should we inform the high priests that such a powerful warrior has sneaked into the temple?!"
Just judging from the tone of his voice, the second Styx priest who spoke was much younger than the first one. He still retained some youth in his words. He was completely different from the captain beside him. All his actions were only for the purpose of completing the task and leaving work.
"Haha, we have to wait until we deal with this body before reporting!"
"Don't try to be lazy, kid. I can't pull his body by myself! Oh my god, what is this person made of? How can he be so heavy!"
The two Styx priests grabbed one of Loki's legs and pulled him towards the secret door they entered. The sticky blood splashed all over the ground left a long blood line behind him.
What is quite surprising is that the "mercury raindrops" falling from the sky seem to have some ability to absorb blood. After a while, the blood on the ground was washed clean.
The remains of the two soul-eating beasts were also quickly corroded by the mercury raindrops containing sufficient spiritual energy.
Unlike Loki, who was flying around like a fly, the two Styx priests were obviously familiar with the layout of this strange temple. After dragging the heavy Loki, the two passed through several halls and finally came to an operation room full of cages.
After entering this secret room, Loki, who was dragged all the way, opened his eyes slightly.
In the room where the sarcophagus was displayed, when he saw two huge monsters appearing from the darkness and running wildly, Loki immediately figured out a problem.
He did not step into this stone room accidentally.
He was summoned.
After discovering that he had entered the Temple of Anubis without permission, the observer hiding in the dark realized that his strength was not something he could fight against, so he deliberately emitted a ray of spiritual energy to lure him to the room where the monsters were patrolling.
This person might want to use the two monsters with lion bodies and crocodile heads to get rid of him.
Of course, it is also possible that they are providing him with some kind of help.
After sorting out this layer of clues, considering that the Illuminati was extremely familiar with all his actions, in the blink of an eye, he decided to do something he had never done before.
He decided to play dead.
No matter in any version of the story of the bard, Loki Starlag is an indomitable warrior.
In Scandinavia, he fought against the Duke's 500 private army with 30 hunters.
In the Far North, he killed the Old One "Leviathan" with only 4 people.
In Hanshui Village, he used some unknown method to massacre 1,200 English navy soldiers in the village.
There are so many similar scenes that when outsiders mention his name, they have subconsciously associated him with powerful war gods such as Odin and Thor.
No one could have imagined that such a person would pretend to be dead.
This is a huge blind spot in thinking.
Not to mention, in the field of pretending to be dead, Loki has an advantage that mortals cannot match. Relying on the body of the ancestors, he can hold his breath for a long time, and even control his heartbeat, slowing down his heartbeat and lowering his body temperature.
There is no other way to do this.
When the Byzantine scholars and the apprentices of the Legalists entered the city early in the morning, they had already followed the Styx priests into the Temple of Anubis.
But now it is almost midnight.
The temple is a world of its own. If he continues to wander aimlessly in this strange space, even if he swings his axe to kill all the soldiers who block his way, he may not be able to walk for long without being able to identify the road.
And time is not his friend.
After turning into a corpse, Loki judged that the observer hidden in the shadows would most likely send someone to collect the body. Following their footsteps, the probability of finding the apprentice of the Fa family will increase.
Sure enough, after entering this stone room full of cages, he felt a very familiar spiritual energy fluctuation. He opened his tightly closed eyes slightly and saw the Byzantine monks imprisoned in the cage.
Mergwen, Hans Wales, and Fire Master San, they all fainted in the cage without making any sound.
"Hey, how much do you think we can sell these hostages for?"
"Haha, it doesn't matter to us how much they sell! But I guess the master will not treat us badly this time.
Don't look at the holy bishop and his group of charlatans holding staffs and wearing high crowns, they look decent on weekdays, but the beasts in the Inquisition are ruthless when they get dirty."
If you offend them, will these scholars suffer the consequences? "
"That's right!" the thin man echoed.
"I didn't understand these when I was young, but now I understand them all!"
"What holy bishop, Zoroastrianism, and Sansheng Sect talk about doctrines, but they only think about business! These charlatans are no different from the vendors selling stuffed pies in the market."
"It's just that they sell meat pies, while the charlatans sell faith!
To make meat patties, you need to buy meat, mix the dough, and roast it in front of the stove for several hours in exchange for a few scattered copper coins.
These charlatans are easy, they dress themselves up, talk, and touch other people's children's hair. Power, status, gold, silver and treasures are all available.
This is the most successful business in the world! "
"Sure!
After following me for so long, I didn't expect that the descendants of Pirson, who was called "useless Pirson", have learned to think!"
"This is really not easy."
It is not difficult to judge from the conversation that the two are master and apprentice. The two dragged a corpse in the dark temple, just like doing farm work in their own backyard. While working, they chatted casually.
Obviously, this is not the first time they have done this.
"In my opinion, the Royal Academy of Sciences is the funniest joke in the world!
"Seeking the truth"
In front of the shining silver coins, all the "truth" and "facts" are bullshit! If you want to destroy the jobs of these charlatans, you must be prepared to be beaten to death! "
"Haha, throw them out of the portal tomorrow. They will have a hard time in the dungeon of the cruel monks."
"No, no, too tired!
I am a 'soul undertaker', I can't do this kind of physical work." The thin Styx priest threw Loki's long legs and collapsed to the side with heavy breathing.
Dragging Loki's body all the way through the room was almost exhausted.
"Fuck! How come this guy is as heavy as a piece of steel. He said, brother, give me the kettle and let me drink a few sips first. "
"Hurry up and finish this mission. I don't want to stay in this place for a minute longer! "
He stretched his hand behind him and gestured for a long time, but received no response from his master.
When the tall and thin Styx priest looked back, the bloody corpse that was lying on the ground had stood up.
You
Loki did not give him another chance to speak, he grabbed his neck and broke his head cleanly.
