edge of pure land.

Chapter 324 The thing is old, quack, open the door

The deeper Kant led the team underground, the more horrifying the scene illuminated by the fire became. They saw rotten corpses embedded in the walls made of huge stones. They didn't know how many years they had been dead, but they were sealed up like fossils.

This was originally a city, but it was sunken deep in the desert, so there were collapsed buildings everywhere, eventually forming an intricate maze.

There were many broken bronze artifacts along the way. Although they were almost broken into pieces, the fragments were still relatively intact, and exquisite and vivid animals and plants could be vaguely seen.

"The civilization of ancient Egypt is divided into many periods, spanning thousands of years of history. At first, our great and supreme ancestors came to this land and established a glorious civilization on both sides of the Nile River. At that time, our ancestors were gods, and we are the descendants of the gods."

Although Kant was terrified, he was also somewhat proud when he came to this underground ruins: "At that time, we enslaved the people and were worshipped by the world, as high as gods. It can be said that after solving the problem of the gods, our world has entered a new era. We enjoy rights, but we also fulfill our obligations... Without our protection, how could the stupid mortals live safely to this day? Who taught them to grow crops, who taught them to cultivate the land? Who taught them the law? Who promoted the advancement of science and technology?"

He licked his lips. “Not to mention, the gods of ancient Egypt were tasked with guarding the third station, fighting against the corrupt god of death for generations. The ancients once said that the great god was like a dead soul returning from the underworld, wandering in the reeds... He was Apophis, the world-destroying god, the omnipresent source of disaster, and the end of all disasters.”

The fire illuminated the dark depths of the ruins.

In front of the huge collapsed stone door is an image of a human body with a dog's head.

It is Anubis in ancient Egyptian mythology.

"We're at the cemetery."

Kant said seriously.

"How do you know this is a cemetery?"

Someone asked curiously.

In the depths of darkness, Chen Jing rolled her eyes. It turned out that not all people in the Tianren organization were knowledgeable. Even what she knew, there were still people who didn't understand.

In fact, this common fallacy can be seen in many movies with ancient Egyptian cultural backgrounds. In order to present magnificent scenes, the directors often shoot some pharaohs' palaces and temples, next to which are huge obelisks and sculptures of Anubis.

That's funny.

First of all, the obelisk was dedicated to the sun god.

That is the legendary sun god Ra.

But in real history, His identity was the first generation of celestial beings.

The sun god is just a pseudonym he left behind.

What's even funnier is that the statue of Anubis appears next to the palace.

Because Anubis is the god of death.

It’s like the Eastern emperor placing the statue of the King of Hell at the gate of the palace.

In the history of ancient Egypt, the image of Anubis often only appeared in tombs, so as long as you saw the image of a human body with a dog's head, you knew you had arrived at a cemetery.

The ancient Egyptians were a very strict race.

No one is kidding about this.

"This Kant said that the decline of ancient Egyptian civilization was not due to foreign invasions, but to a strange epidemic? According to him, there are still some sick pharaohs buried here, and it is possible that they are still alive even after thousands of years? This is ridiculous."

Chen Jing murmured quietly: "No, it is possible."

She thought of something.

Cocoon worm!
Chen Jing was not a cocoon-breaker, so she did not have a very deep impression of that thing, but she had once studied it out of curiosity. The so-called cocoon worm was a by-product of the Tree of Life.

Its appearance actually resembles the scarab worshipped by ancient Egypt.

To put it simply, it is a dung beetle.

This means that humans have had a certain misunderstanding of ancient Egyptian culture, mistaking the cocoon worm for the scarab, and thus missed the opportunity to interpret the civilization of the gods.

"If it is a cocoon worm, then it can indeed play a certain protective role on the body. This is most likely a point that has not been mentioned in ancient Egyptian civilization... Well, it seems that this Kant is not a fool. I should have caught him and given him a good beating." Chen Jing hid behind the broken pillar and continued to eavesdrop on the conversation of this group of celestial beings.

No wonder the Tianren organization attaches so much importance to the Duat family.

The first thing they did after arriving in Egypt was to call them back.

The underworld in ancient Egyptian culture was called Duat.

This family may be hiding some unknown secrets.

"In ancient Egyptian civilization, the place we are in is called the underworld. The dimension here is very special and is protected by an alchemical matrix. I must tell you a few rules here... First, don't let the people in the tomb smell the breath of the living. Second, don't break the mummy's shroud. Third, if you hear any sound, pretend you didn't hear it. Fourth, don't look the dead in the eye. Fifth, tomb robbery is not allowed."

Kant said in a deep voice: "Do you understand?"

The celestial beings looked at each other in bewilderment.

It is understandable that tomb robbing is not allowed, because some old objects in the tomb may be the composition of the alchemical matrix, and once they are moved away, they may cause the formation to collapse.

The story of the resurrection of the zongzi in ancient oriental legends is actually like this. It is most likely that the ancient celestial being who swallowed the time cocoon worm fell asleep in the alchemical matrix, and was awakened by a group of damn tomb robbers. He woke up in a daze, and unexpectedly, even his clothes were stripped off.

But the question is why the first few items?
"You don't understand. The seals on humans or evolvers in ancient times were not perfect... The reason why the cocoon breakers today can wake up from their cocoons intact is because of the efforts of the leaders of the previous generation of the Celestial Organization, that rebellious couple."

Speaking of the leaders of the previous generation, Kant's face was not good: "Although they had no faith and were shameful traitors, their technology is undeniable. But in ancient times, there were no such good technical conditions. After swallowing the cocoon worm, other things were needed to assist... That's how mummies appeared. From ancient times to the present, humans have never stopped pursuing immortality."

The people in heaven suddenly realized something. They looked at the dilapidated ruins in the darkness, felt the depth and coldness deep underground, examined the dilapidated sculptures among the broken walls, and the dog-headed human-bodied gods carved on the tomb door, and suddenly they felt a shudder.

It feels like being in the desolate underworld.

It's like being in hell.

"We are all living people, but we have the Sun Disc in our hands, and the blazing energy can block their perception. There are exactly eight of us, and the energy is stable enough. If there is one more, it will be hard to say." Kant took a deep breath and chanted the ancient spell in a low voice.

As the ancient spell echoed in the silence, Chen Jing in the depths of darkness was hesitant to speak, because it was obvious that she was also a living person, and the ninth person.

"Ah?"

In the even more hidden darkness, Lu Buer, who was chasing quietly, was also stunned. If he was not mistaken, he was the tenth person in this cemetery.

In fact, it is not easy to find this secret passage. First of all, its location in reality is very difficult to find. You need to turn the scarab in the temple, and turn it to the right position so that the sunlight can fall on it.

Turning the scarab sculpture is not the end of the story. The entrance is actually in the holy lake. The water doesn’t look deep, but after jumping in, you will find that it is bottomless.

Ordinary people simply cannot reach the end.

The reason why Lu Buer was able to successfully reach this underground temple buried underground was most likely because the power he possessed was recognized by the alchemical matrix.

He was convinced.

The celestial being who had fought with him also followed.

But he was obviously not in Kant's team. Lu Buer didn't care what was in the tomb, he just wanted to confirm who that person was. For this, he didn't even have time to sacrifice those dead celestial beings.

Boom!

Kanter was speaking Ancient Egyptian, a lost language.

I saw a golden pattern light up in the dilapidated ruins, illuminating the darkness like sunlight. The door of the tomb also opened with a tremor, and the floating dust fell off.

As the door of the tomb opened, thick gray fog poured out like a demon, and the sharp sound of the wind was like a strange grin, spewing in front of the celestial beings.

Fortunately, Kant raised his hand and a golden flame broke through the gray fog. He waved his hand and led his subordinates into the tomb. His cautious actions were just like a group of tomb robbers.

They were still shocked when the firelight illuminated the tomb.

Because there was actually a pyramid-like structure in the tomb, but the building materials used were not cut stones, but magnificent gold!
The golden light was so bright that they could not open their eyes.

How much money can you get for so much gold outside?
How many resources can it exchange for?

no one knows.

The celestial beings were selected after a period of hard training, and they have a certain restraint over worldly wealth. After all, they were once the controllers of the world, so they naturally would not drool over gold, silver and treasures like a group of gold miners who have never seen the world.

What really shocked them was the golden coffin in the tomb.

The floor of the tomb is gilded with a lotus pattern, which symbolizes lust in ancient Egyptian culture but is proof of eternal life in the civilization of gods.

The golden coffins were arranged neatly around the lotus pattern. The coffin lids were actually opened, and a foul smell wafted in the air, making people feel sick.

The most terrifying thing is that there are handprints on the coffin lid.

As we all know, gold is relatively soft.

The power of the ancient celestial being can easily leave marks on gold.

That handprint doesn't look like it was left by an outsider.

But it was left by the person in the coffin from the inside out!

The celestial beings looked at each other in bewilderment.

This means that throughout the long course of history, these ancient people buried deep underground have all awakened for a period of time and tried to resurrect from their coffins!
Kant breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's okay. We worried too much. The ancients will also become unstable after swallowing the cocoon worms, but because they are already evolved, they will not become White Walkers. What really makes them terrifying is the plague they suffered from when they were alive. Our mission is to take away the samples and destroy them. I thought we would be in danger of death this time, but fortunately these ancients show no signs of waking up."

The celestial beings were suspicious and said, "Sir, there is something we cannot understand. Since they are people suffering from the disease, why don't you just let them die? Why do you protect them instead?"

There was a snap.

The celestial being was slapped in the face.

Kant said angrily, "What do you know? Don't say such disrespectful words in front of the seniors! These celestial beings died for us! You know, in those days, no one could stop the terrible plague... The only way was to let those ancient celestial beings sacrifice themselves, let them eat their own kind, seal the plague in their bodies, and then be made into mummies and sealed here."

The gods were all stunned. They didn't expect that in ancient Egypt, there was such an unknown history, which was cruel but also had a hint of sadness.

"Once the celestials truly die, the disease will escape from their bodies and transfer to other people. The only way is to keep the host of the disease in a state of half-life and half-death, just like Schrödinger's cat."

Kant said in a deep voice: "The unusual movement at the third site now has made our ancestors alert. This is the responsibility of our Tianren Organization and we must not take it lightly. The epidemic back then was too strange. After so many years, we must face the nightmare of that year again. Once this epidemic reappears in the world, our world will slide into the abyss!"

The celestial beings immediately bowed their heads: "Understood!"

In the darkness, Chen Jing narrowed her eyes, and a hint of realization flashed in her gentle eyes. She felt that the Tianren organization was not a good group of people at the moment, but the stance of this group of people was indeed unquestionable.

"No wonder Nun Miejue is so cautious. It turns out that the ancestors of this group of people suffered a great loss in Egypt. So what exactly is this strange disease? Is it related to the Corrupted Death? Fortunately, I am smart, otherwise I might suffer a great loss when that guy comes."

Chen Jing leaned against the pillar with his arms folded across his chest and continued to peek.

At this moment, she suddenly felt a sense of crisis.

It's like a cold wind blowing past.

It was like a spooky laugh.

"Get your tools ready, we're going to collect samples."

Kant and his men took off their backpacks and began to prepare tools.

It was at this time that the tenth person in the tomb could no longer hold it.

Because Lu Buer saw with his own eyes that a pale arm wrapped in a shroud suddenly stretched out from a golden coffin and reached towards these celestial beings.

But these days people have not noticed it at all.

In the golden coffin, a pale mummy suddenly stood up, his dry body twisted violently, making a terrifying sound like bones breaking.

The shroud was wrapped tightly around His face.

There was only a pair of terrifying eyes, with a hint of horror in the dead silence.

Because of the corrupt god of death, Lu Buer was almost panicking when he saw the mummy, but this group of celestial beings were like fools, pretending not to hear him, and he was so anxious that he wanted to step forward and remind them.

But at this moment, he heard another voice.

"Hey, you guys...didn't you see anything?"

It was a trembling voice.

Chen Jing, who was hiding in the darkness, finally couldn't help but speak out a reminder. It was at this moment that the smell of a living person emanated from her body and was noticed by the mummy in the coffin.

Just for a moment.

It's like the frames of a movie are out of order.

It's as if the images recorded on the tape are distorted.

Time and space seemed to have turned into black and white.

The mummy in the golden coffin crawled out of the coffin in an inhuman and weird posture, and came in front of the girl in an instant, letting out a scream!

boom!
The terrifying death energy gushed out and was isolated by the powerful magnetic field.

Her long crimson hair fell down like a rose.

At that moment, Lu Buer's mind went blank.
