In the ruins of a temple dozens of miles away from Cairo, mottled stone marks engraved the traces of time on the ruins of the temple. In the dim yellow desert, the world was vast and broad. The ruins of the temple stood quietly under the setting sun, exuding a desolate aura of the desert.
A group of blonde westerners in white robes dragged supplies down from the camel caravan and set up tents in the ruins of the temple. Even though they were Reincarnators, they were just a little more tolerant of hunger and thirst than ordinary people. To survive in this desert of hundreds of square kilometers, food, especially water, was still very important.
Hans, the captain of the Rose and Lancer Team, looked at the half-excavated crypt and said to a voluptuous woman behind him, "Dai Shan, are you sure the golden bracelet of the Scorpion King is here?"
The woman, Dai Shan, was charming. She smiled and said, "Captain, although we listened to you and stayed away from the center of the trouble — Cairo — didn't the archaeologists we found later also verify it? They are all capable people. According to our investigation in the nearby tribes, among the ruins they delineated, this is the only temple related to the Scorpion King and the myths and legends related to Anubis. "
Hans looked into the distance and took a deep breath. He sighed and said, "The situation of this mission is very bad. The situation can be said to be very dangerous. If we are not careful enough, it is not impossible to predict that our team will be wiped out …"
A trace of disbelief flashed in Dai Shan's eyes. She hesitated and said, "Although the battle of the nine groups is dangerous, our missions are not absolutely opposed to each other. According to the rules of the Realm, the whole situation should be relatively balanced. Even if someone wants to mess with us, the tacit understanding between our teams will allow us to unite to deal with the biggest threat to us. The entire situation should be one of mutual checks and balances! "
"The situation shouldn't be that bad!"
Hans sneered. "If it wasn't that dangerous, the Dusk team wouldn't have been wiped out at the beginning, and the Ghost Cutter team wouldn't have been killed at the first contact with the Nine States team … Dai Shan, the danger I'm talking about is not just the battle of the nine groups, but the plot that has been faintly out of control before we arrived."
"You mean Team Nine Provinces?" Dai Shan said in surprise, "Team Nine Prefectures has indeed cultivated deeply in this world and accumulated a strong 'influence'. However, they have probably forgotten that such strength will only lead to death when one's own strength becomes a weakness!"
"Right now, they have already attracted the faint hostility of all the teams. We already have a tacit agreement to eliminate them first!"
Hans shook his head and said, "I still feel that things are not that simple. The reason why I wanted to bypass the main storyline of the first Mummy and directly grasp the key to the plot of the second Mummy is because I am afraid! I'm afraid. Right now, there's a terrifying shadow lurking in the center of the vortex. "Hans sighed with emotion for a while before ending the topic.
"I won't say anymore!" Hans heard a commotion coming from up ahead. He extinguished his cigarette and said, "The results should be out up ahead! Come with me! "Just as he reached the entrance of the underground palace, he heard someone shouting in front of him," Captain! We found it! "
Hans was overjoyed, but the strong vigilance of the Reincarnators made him order the surroundings to strengthen the vigilance. Then, he looked excitedly at the box that was being carried out from the underground palace. This box was almost exactly the same as the box that contained the Bracelet of Death in the original work. This box made Rose and the Reincarnators of the Knight Lancer Squad breathe rapidly.
Hans placed his hand on the surface of the box and opened it slightly.
Through the dim golden light, Hans saw the strangely shaped golden bracelet lying in the box. It was like a scorpion lying horizontally in the box. He quickly closed the lid of the box and ordered, "We've got it, let's go!"
The group hurried to where the camel team was, ready to get on the camels and quickly leave this place. Hans did not know why, but his heart was very anxious, as if there was a big stone pressing down on him. When they were outside the temple, they felt a strong wind sweeping up the sand, blowing directly at their faces. At this time, someone shouted, "Captain, the wind is blowing! It might be a sign of a sandstorm. Should we hide in the temple for the night? "
Hans said resolutely, "No, it's not safe here now. Everyone, hurry up and leave this place! "
The sky had already darkened, and the evening sun quickly drew away from the earth. In an instant, the shadow enveloped everyone. In the pitch-black darkness, Hanses spread out his mental strength and cautiously probed the surrounding movements. The camel had already been pulled out. Just as everyone was about to leave, a shrill roar that sounded like a sudden clap of thunder rang out in Hanses's mental strength.
Hans's body trembled, and he almost fell off his horse.
Then, a pair of blood-red eyes flashed in the dark sky. The emotions contained in those eyes were indifferent, sinister, fierce, ruthless, and cold. It stared at everyone, and the group of Reincarnators felt as if they had been thrown into an ice cave. There was a chill that came from facing the deepest fear in their hearts.
A hoarse voice came from the darkness. "The Bracelet of Death is in your hands?"
Hans suppressed the uneasiness in his heart and replied calmly, "We are archaeologists from Germany. We came here to excavate historical sites and protect Egypt's cultural relics. If the Bracelet of Death refers to the golden bracelet that looked like a scorpion that we dug up at the bottom of the underground palace, then it is indeed in our hands."
The pair of eyes stared for a moment, and then a pure black shadow slowly walked out from the direction where the sun had set. His whole body was shrouded in shadows. Under the seemingly insubstantial black robe, the face that was exposed outside the cloak was wearing a black mask. Only the hollow eyes of the mask revealed a faint blood-red light.
His appearance seemed to have crossed space, and he appeared very close to the Reincarnators.
"I know who you are and what you want to do. Thieves who are trying to cheat Anubis's divine power. What I'm curious about is, without the Spear of Judgment, how are you going to pass Anubis's test and kill the Scorpion King?" The voice of the black-robed man lacked even a trace of mockery. From beginning to end, it was as cold as ice.
Hans said in a low voice, "Who are you? You seem to know where the Spear of Judgment is? "
Unsure if that sentence had touched the black-robed man, he fell into a long silence. When Rose and the lancers were getting impatient, the voice suddenly said, "Me? I was once the high priest of Anubis, the messenger of the will of the gods. Now I'm just a traitor who has turned his back on the gods, a wandering soul burning with the flames of revenge! "
He took off the mask on his face, revealing a horrifying face that was crisscrossed. Half of his face was plump, and the other half was withered. The lower half of his face was like a skull, and the upper half was like an ancient Egyptian prince who had walked out of history. The wisdom in his eyes was as deep as the sea, and the darkness in his soul was as deep as the abyss.
Everyone sucked in a breath of cold air. The strangest thing was that in the area between the withered skull and the normal face, there were many fine light red blood vessels, nerves, and the like, like tree roots. From the forehead and eyes that looked like a living person, to the crisscrossed nasal bones, and finally to the empty mouth of bones, it gave everyone the most shocking impact.
Someone cried out his name — "Imoden!"
Imoden's exposed teeth opened and closed, and a hoarse voice came from his throat that had turned into bones. "Imoden! What a familiar yet strange name! The last person who called it has already turned into bones in my arms. Everything that this name carries — honor, love, betrayal, and suffering — has already decayed, leaving only an empty soul … and hatred.
"Hatred has turned me into a soul of revenge, wandering the earth!" Hans had a bad feeling.
He didn't know what had happened to cause such a change in Imoden, but he could feel the madness, hatred, and loneliness coming from the shadow in front of him. It was no longer the Imoden he knew. In the original plot, although Imoden's magic power was strong, his weaknesses were too obvious. He was restrained by the two scriptures, his intelligence was not high, and most importantly, he deeply loved a woman from 3,000 years ago. All of these made his goal clear, and he was easy to use and restrain.
In Hans's strategy, he didn't list this theoretical big boss as an important target. He valued the Eye of Horus, team Nine States, and the other Samsara teams, but he would never have thought that such a harmless villain could be a threat to the Samsara travelers.
He carefully probed for relevant information, and his eyes flashed slightly. He asked, "High Priest Imoden, are you also here for the Death Bracelet in our hands? We are not Egyptians, and we cannot be recognized by Anubis. You know many secrets of ancient Egypt, and you also desire the power of the Death Bracelet. Furthermore, you also seem to know the whereabouts of the Judgment Spear …
"Maybe we can work together!"
"Work together?" Imoden asked calmly.
Hans heaved a sigh of relief and said confidently, "Our needs do not conflict. It is impossible for us to obtain the power of the Death God's Bracelet, nor can we obtain the recognition of the Death God. High Priest, you are here for this power. We can help you obtain the power of the Death God and lead the army of the Death God to rule all of Egypt.
"And we only ask for a little bit of power to help us deal with our enemies."
Imoden's eyes were calm, and this made Hans break out in a cold sweat. He was confused. How is this possible? How can Imoden be so calm? What has happened to him? '
"Does your enemy include the person holding the Judgment Spear?" Imoden's voice became low.
Hans's eyes wandered, and he probed, "Maybe it includes them!"
