Ghostly Tomb

Chapter 804 The Scorpion King

The hand on Chen Zhi's shoulder was very soft, like a cloud, Chen Zhi looked back, it turned out to be Mina...

"Chen! Why aren't you sleeping?" Mina smiled and sat beside Chen Zhi.

After getting in touch with Mina during this period, Chen Zhi gradually discovered the characteristics of Mina. Her footsteps are very light, and she is very good at tracking and hiding. Just now she walked all the way, basically making no sound.

Chen Zhi got up slightly and looked at the tent behind. As expected, Ji Ying had noticed the movement here, and opened the curtain to look at them.

Chen Zhi waved to Ji Ying, indicating that there was nothing wrong here. Ji Ying gave Mina a cold look, then put down the curtain and returned to the tent.

"Chen! What are you thinking here if you don't sleep?"

Mina took the teapot from Chen Zhi's hand, put it on the fire, and deftly put the tea in the sieve, and filtered it into the tea bowl.

"No, I just had a nightmare and couldn't fall asleep...",
Chen Zhi looked at Mina's dazzling golden curly hair, and smiled slightly.

After getting in touch with Mina for a period of time, Chen Zhi discovered that Mina was actually quite a follower, not as difficult to get along with as before. The reason why Mina had always rejected him before was because of Tony's death.But after this period of contact, Mina has taken a new look at Chen Zhi, re-evaluated Chen Zhi's ability, and most importantly, Mina also understands Chen Zhi's personality better.

"Want some tea? I'll help you..."

Mina smiled slightly at Chen Zhi,

"This Egyptian tea needs to be boiled for a long time, you should rest first, and I will call you when it is finished...",
"I'll just wait here..."
After Chen Zhi finished speaking, he put his treasure bag under his head as a pillow, and lay down beside the campfire, watching Mina making tea there.

After traveling in the desert all day long, Mina's face was also covered with traces of wind and sand, and her golden curls were somewhat messy, mixed with gravel, but this did not reflect her pretty appearance, under the moonlight , she is still a rare blonde beauty, and Mina is different from other Western women. Although white women have fair skin and beautiful faces, their hands and feet are generally thick.But Mina's hands are extraordinarily slender, and they move very gently when making tea. Chen Zhi looks at these white and slender fingers, and still remembers the strength of these hands when they hit him on the face, which is stronger than that of a male boxer. To be heavy.

"Mina, do you think there will be demons in this desert...",
Chen Zhi looked at Mina in front of the campfire and asked softly.

"Demon, do you mean the Scorpion King?",
Mina turned her head and smiled. Under the jumping bonfire, her sweet smile made people's hearts throb.

"The Scorpion King?",
Chen Zhi quickly searched for this word in his memory.

The Scorpion King is a controversial figure in the history of ancient Egypt. He was the first pharaoh in the history of Egypt. Many scholars believe that this so-called "Scorpion King" is a fiction at all and never existed in reality.

But in 1898, a stone slab called "Narmer" was unearthed in the Hierakonpolis area of ​​​​Upper Egypt. The age of the slate is very old, far exceeding the Egyptian historical records.

A king never mentioned in Egyptian history is engraved on the stone slab. This king wears the white crown of Upper Egypt and the red crown of Lower Egypt, which means that he is the king who unified Upper and Lower Egypt.

Among the cultural relics unearthed at the same time, the earliest scepter in Egyptian history was also found, with a man wearing the crown of Upper and Lower Egypt still engraved on it, as well as an iconic scorpion.

Until then, archaeologists doubted that the legendary Scorpion King was real, and Hollywood had even shot a big-budget movie with the theme of the Egyptian Scorpion King.

"Don't believe those things in American movies, the Scorpion King is artistically processed..." Mina smiled and said, shaking the teapot,
"According to the legend, the hometown of the Scorpion King is here, and he was buried in this ancient western desert. According to the local Egyptians, the Scorpion King is a real demon...".

After Mina finished speaking, she poured a cup of tea and handed it to Chen Zhi.

"According to the local legend, the Scorpion King was originally the chief of this desert. In order to defeat the chief of another desert, he even made a deal with the ancient desert god, asking him to grant him strength and victory.

The evil god of the desert asked him for a transaction price, and asked him to use the blood of his beloved to sacrifice the desert. He killed his queen without hesitation at that time, and then won a short-term victory.

But his greed became stronger and stronger. He wanted to expand his territory and become the king of Upper and Lower Egypt. The evil god of the desert asked him for a price again. First he wanted his mother's heart, and then he wanted his eldest son's eyes , the Scorpion King finally agreed, and slaughtered his mother and eldest son with his own hands.

The Scorpion King has ruled Egypt since then, and his power is as powerful as a god, and no one can defeat him. His soul has been defiled by demons, and he began to enjoy slaughter and cruelty. He threw his concubine alive into the fire, He also personally gouged out the eyeballs of all his children and ate them. All the Egyptians lived in blood and terror.

Later, because he was too evil, the god of death did not dare to take him in, and let him live for a long time. Finally, the ancient desert god swallowed him into the sand and never allowed him to come out. The Scorpion King also became an immortal demon. Buried deep in the desert.

Until now, people in the desert still use the Scorpion King to scare disobedient children..."

"Very interesting story...",
Chen Zhi looked at Mina with a smile and said,
"It seems that in any country, the gods have an unholy side..."

"That..., Chen, I'm sorry, I treated you like that in the past...", Mina said in a low voice with some embarrassment. She probably wanted to say this sentence for a long time, and now she finally found the opportunity.
"Tony's matter, I dealt with it a bit extreme at that time, I was too sad for TONY's death at that time, but now I think, after you saved his child, TONY will also be grateful to you in heaven, and you have such With his powerful ability, he will definitely be able to defeat that team and save TONY’s child~~~”

"Do you trust me so much...",
Chen Zhi smiled and looked at Mina,
"There are two ways to deal with things, communication and force. This is a foreign desert. We don't know anything about this place. We try not to use force to solve problems that can be solved with money!"

"Hmph! Those people...",
Mina snorted angrily,
"It is not a pity for those people to die. Look at their crimes. They are the real devils. Even if we kill them all, God will forgive us..."

"Do you know what God thinks?",
Chen Zhi sat up, put the teacup by the bonfire, a gust of cold wind blew, making people shiver,

"Just like what you said just now, only God can judge evil. Since we are not God, we can't judge what is sin, and we are not qualified to punish others~~, go to sleep!! We have to hurry tomorrow~~~",
After Chen Zhi finished speaking, he handed his blanket to Mina. The night temperature in the desert was very low and the air was very cool. Maybe it was because the night was not so stuffy, or maybe it was because he felt safe by Chen Zhi’s side, but Mina actually covered it. Falling asleep with a blanket, her face reflected in the campfire, she was very relaxed, without any defenses......

　In the past few days, the evil insomnia has recurred again. I have the inspiration to know the story, but I have no energy. I haven’t slept for 48 hours.

　　Thanks for the reward: Yi iiiiii; Wei Tuo
