The Bargo Land was the vast land facing the Great Pyramid of Giza from Cairo. It was over a hundred kilometers long, and had been the battlefield between the humans and the undead of Egypt for thousands of years. The battle had never stopped for a few thousand years.
The undead on the Bargo Land would never wither. The reason was simple: the constant battles would result in constant deaths, and the deaths would give birth to the undead. It was an unbreakable cycle in Egypt!
There was a long slope around seventy kilometers away from the Great Pyramid of Giza. The slope was like a compass, marking the time when the deathlight was shining.
Every time the sun set in the west, people would stand at the edge of the Sunset Long Slope and look up along the slope. They would find that the radiance of the setting sun was spread in a perfect straight line across the Sunset Long Slope, giving people the feeling that there was a gorgeous ocean and a golden land in front of them.
Unfortunately, this magnificent scene of nature outside Cairo had always brought endless uneasiness and fear to the people, because once the sun set in this way, the deathlight of the pyramid would scatter over the entire Bargo Land, like a bloody war flag of the Undead Empire … …
The deathlight followed the laws of the Sun, Moon, and Stars. The Sunset Slope's path to the blood-red sunset would change with time, but normally, there would be a prolonged period of deathlight every five years. It was usually the biggest battle between Cairo and the undead!
The current season was the Black Season. The deathlight would only shine once every five years. The Great Pyramid of Khafre, the second-largest Pyramid in Egypt, was currently provoking Cairo.
The real undead of Egypt had yet to show up. It was mainly the Scorpion Tribe and the Serpent Tribe. The Black Season had only just begun. The Egyptians still had a long way to go!
In a very ingenious location on the Sunset Long Slope, there was an ancient temple ruins.
The Egyptians, like the Chinese in the Yellow River and Yangtze River Valleys, worshipped the power of totems a long time ago. They relied on some special life forms to survive. At that time, the Sunset Temple was the largest temple in Egypt used to worship the god they symbolized.
The era of the Pharaohs came. The Pharaohs overthrew the ancient system and established the Magic Civilization of Egypt. However, they had turned into undead after their deaths, yet they did not give up on controlling the golden land.
The Sunset Shrine had existed for a very long time. It was magnificent, but it was also in a dilapidated state. No one had set foot in it for a long time, mainly because many Hunters had died mysteriously before they could even get close to the Sunset Shrine.
"Rumor has it that the Pharaohs abandoned the ancient Gods. The souls of the ancient Gods are tired of humans, so anyone who goes close to the shrine will be punished," Chad said as he walked.
There were all sorts of rumors about the Sunset Temple. To this day, there were many mysteries that had yet to be solved. There had been people who had stepped into the Sunset Temple to explore, only to discover that the inside of the Sunset Temple was an infinite labyrinthine space that resembled a pyramid. Ordinary people could forget about leaving once they stepped in.
"Is the Sunset Shrine related to the pyramids?" Mofan asked.
They were now on the Sunset Slope. They were about twenty kilometers away from the Sunset Shrine. It just so happened that the sun was setting. They could see a perfect blood-red sunset along the slope. It felt as if they could reach the sun at the end of the slope!
The Sunset Temple was located right where the sun was setting. From afar, it looked like the Sun Temple standing in the middle of the sun. It was likely that the ancient god worshipped by the Egyptians was related to the sun.
Mofan remembered that before Parthenon ruled Greece, the people of Greece worshipped the ancient Gods. The Titans were the descendants of the ancient Gods. He wondered if the ancient Gods of Egypt were related to the ancient Gods of Greece.
In fact, these so-called gods were all extremely powerful creatures at that time, just like the totem beasts in China.
After the Era of Magic arrived, every country overthrew the so-called Gods and believed in their most honorable magic.
"It's said that the Pharaohs stole the power of the ancient Gods. I'm not sure how they are related, but the Pharaohs abolished the Gods," Chad said.
"Are there any ancient Gods in the Sunset Shrine?" Mofan asked.
Chad's brother, Benz, laughed. He explained, "You can't find any Gods in Egypt. There aren't even any descendants of the Gods. Isn't it the same in China? You don't have half a Totem Beast … The Sunset Shrine is just a ruin. It might have become the nest of the Snake Tribe. "
They were getting closer to the Sunset Shrine. Suddenly, an eagle's cry came from the sky. Mofan looked up and saw the white eagle swooping down at him.
While Mofan was confused, the white eagle opened its claws and dropped a bamboo tube to the ground.
Mofan recalled that he had a Huntress helping him from afar. She would send a messenger eagle to him as soon as she received any news.
The Bargo Land did not have any mobile signal. Phones were only used as watches and torchlights. They had to rely on the ancient method to send messages.
The messenger eagle was a creature that demon creatures would not attack. It was perfect for sending messages to travelers.
Mofan opened the bamboo tube. There was a document inside.
"What did it say?" Zhao Manting asked as he moved closer.
"She says that the rumors about the Sunset Shrine cursing people to death are real. Anyone who comes within three kilometers of the Sunset Shrine will start to rot. We have yet to find the exact reason, so we should be extra careful!" Mofan read the message from Anna.
"Isn't that just an exaggeration?" Mentor Vani said.
Mo Fan shook his head. He handed one of the photos to Vani.
Vani glanced at the picture and saw a Hunter whose body was seriously rotting. His face was so scary that only his eyes were visible.
"If there's a picture, it means the rumors are real. Three kilometers … are we three kilometers away from the Sunset Shrine?" Mubai said.
"But how did it happen?"
"Let's go there first. The ancient Gods have already died a few thousand years ago. It's impossible for such a powerful curse to still exist. Besides, isn't the Snake Tribe living there? I don't think the ancient Gods are friendly to them, right?" Mofan was not intimidated by the news. He decided to continue forward.
