The rate at which the water was receding began to change. At first, the water was flowing out of the two doors. It was hard to tell if it was flowing to the next chamber or somewhere else. However, as the Advisor Mummy died, the water began to flow to the left and right. When the water level completely receded, the group was finally able to see the other two doors.
Shreev knew which door to take, but he had no idea how to proceed when he saw the group's condition.
"Let's get some rest first. It won't be too late to go to the next door after we're all healed," Mofan said weakly.
It would be a lie if he said he was fine after suffering such a strong electric shock. Mofan felt like any Commander-level creature could easily take him out.
The group sat down and began to treat their injuries. The biggest mistake they had made in the Pyramid of Egypt was that they did not have a Healer with them. The injuries they had suffered from the water and the lightning could easily be healed with a Healer. If they were to rely on the medicine, it would take them at least three to four days to recover.
…
Mofan's recovery was a lot quicker than the others, thanks to the advantage of the Demon Element. On top of that, he still had Xinxia's pills. Mofan was full of energy in just a day and a half.
He opened his eyes and saw the others in a "hibernating" state.
This dormant state was actually a form of deep meditation. A magician could use this half-asleep, half-meditative state to quickly recover their mental strength and Mana. At the same time, drugs would also work better in this state. In this state, a magician would only maintain a trace of vigilance. If there was no killing intent or hostility, they would be no different from sleeping and would not be able to hear what the people around them were saying.
"You really aren't a normal person," Mubai's voice came from behind. Mofan thought he was the only one awake.
"Why aren't you taking a rest?" Mofan asked.
"I'm not injured," Mubai said.
"You're right, it's so boring. We have to wait for them to recover," Mofan said.
"Don't you think that guy up there is worth investigating?" Mubai pointed at the Huntsman Spider at the top.
The Huntsman Spider's fighting strength was really weak, and it was very timid. Basically, no one tried to restrict it, and it didn't necessarily dare to avenge its master.
To be honest, it was rare to see such a strange and ferocious looking demon with such cowardice!
"It's just a stupid spider. What's there to study?" Mofan said.
"Didn't Shreev mention that the Pyramids of Egypt also have a terrifying hierarchy? There are tens of thousands of slaves at the lowest level. They serve the noblest rulers for eternity …" Mubai said seriously.
"During the era of the Pharaohs, ninety-nine percent of the people were the servants of the nobles. Isn't it normal for the Pharaohs and nobles to still use this method to rule after they died and turned into undead?" Mofan said.
"Then why don't they just enjoy their status? Why do they keep attacking the living? Isn't it just causing them to lose their undead for no reason?" Mubai said.
"The undead are violent by nature. Killing is like eating and drinking for them. It's a biological need," Mofan said.
"It's the same for the undead in the Ancient Capital, but I don't think the undead in Egypt are the same, especially after seeing their strict hierarchy in the Pyramids. It's true that death will constantly replenish the undead army with new blood, but every creature will die eventually. The rulers of the undead can just sit back and enjoy the fruits of others' labor. There's no need for them to waste their soldiers on wars," Mubai said.
Mofan listened to Mubai's analysis. He initially thought the man was just stating his opinion, but when he thought about it carefully, it did seem like the undead in Egypt were not as pure as they seemed.
"You saw the Qi Refining Pool too. It's the essence of the undead, spirits, and evil auras that the Pyramids have absorbed from the outside world …" Mubai said.
"Mm, this Pyramid is like a factory. There must be a lot of secret chambers like the one we saw. The one we fell into was only one of them. How could the Ashen Storm of Hatred be the same as the undead we saw in the secret chamber?" Mofan said.
"Undead, spirits, and evil auras can only be formed on a large scale through continuous killing and trampling. The Pyramids will absorb a huge amount of the Qi of Death every once in a while. The undead that have already taken shape will need the Qi of Death to breathe, too. In other words, the Pyramids are constantly waging wars to produce the high-quality Qi of Death … the fresh Qi of Death will be poured into the Pyramids and processed by the creatures at the bottom. The waste gas will be breathed by the slaves, and the residue will fall into the hands of creatures like the Underworld Warriors. Doesn't that mean the essence of the Qi of Death is used to feed the Mummy with their individual chambers?" Mubai said.
"So you're saying that the Pyramids are using the Qi of Death as their nourishment?" Mofan looked at Mubai. He suddenly realized how smart Mubai was.
"Mm, the Pyramids are irrigated by the Qi of Death. The higher-level creatures are enjoying the best quality of the Qi of Death, so their corpses will not rot even after a thousand years. They will be constantly nourished, allowing them to grow stronger …" Mubai said.
"So that's why they keep waging wars," Mofan realized. He could not help but feel a chill down his spine.
Humans relied on reproduction to survive, but the undead relied on killing to survive!
The evil ancient society, the evil ancient Pharaohs!
"Didn't Shreev mention that the Qi of Death will be transported to the higher-level chambers of the Mummy through a special channel? I've checked the chamber, but it doesn't seem like there's any channel …" Mubai said.
"Maybe there's some kind of mechanism," Mofan said.
"Ancient times are ancient times. It's impossible to hide anything without leaving a trace. The construction of the Pyramids has to follow the rules of construction. I've learned a little about architecture, so I'm sure there's no such thing as a pipe in the chamber," Mubai said confidently.
"… You've learned quite a lot," Mofan said.
"Every time I'm stuck in my cultivation, I'll study something else. The patterns I've learned from other fields have always enlightened me," Mubai explained.
"Then how did you learn how to make an aphrodisiac?" Mofan asked.
Mubai's face darkened. He looked like he was going to fall out with Qin Nan if he mentioned it again.
"Just kidding, just kidding, tell me what you think," Mofan laughed.
"I think there's something wrong with this Huntsman Spider. Its level isn't low, but it's extremely weak. It's useless apart from screaming, and it's extremely timid. If it's useless, why would the Advisor Mummy keep it? It's just a decoration. It doesn't make any sense if it's just a decoration, "Mubai said.
"You're saying …" Mofan's eyes widened.
"That's right," Mubai nodded.
Mofan's mouth opened wide. He slowly said after some time, "This … this is too exciting."
"Isn't it? We've discovered a huge secret. Who knows, we might be able to reap some benefits from it," Mubai smiled.
"Reap some benefits?" Mo Fan was a little confused. His eyes flickered strangely when he saw the smile on Mu Bai's face. He said, "This world is too messed up. I'm just thinking that species like the Medusa are very similar to humans. It's understandable if you ignore their beautiful bodies, but this spider that doesn't match the beauty of a human … oh my god, what the hell is going on? Is it the abdominal sac?"
Mubai did not understand what Mofan was talking about at first. It took him some time to react. His lips were already twitching …
"Mofan, I'm really impressed by your shameless, dirty thoughts. Who told you that the spider was used by the Mummy to relieve his loneliness? I've already analyzed the significance of the Pyramid War for you, and you've come up with such a conclusion. Is there something wrong with your brain!? "Mubai said.
"I'm just kidding, I'm just kidding. How could I not know what you're trying to say?" Mofan let out a hollow laugh.
"Then what do you think the spider is for?" Mubai snapped.
"Well … I think my brain is still in a mess after being electrocuted. Master Mubai, please explain it to me," Mofan said.
"The spider is the channel that carries the energy!" Mubai said.
"Oh, I thought the spider was the bottom, but it turns out it's the top … put down the ice blade in your hand. What are you doing? You have no sense of humor. I understand now, the spider is a container filled with energy. The reason why the Mummy is able to survive and grow in the Pyramid is because of the spider's silk that carries the energy into the Mummy's coffin!" Mofan said sternly.
"The energy is good stuff," Mubai said meaningfully. "Only Ruler-level creatures are qualified to enjoy it."
"But didn't Shreev mention the map? The first thing on the map is a spider. It should be normal for a spider to appear here. It might not be the container you mentioned," Mofan said.
"Shreev guessed it based on the ancient map. We'll find out if we capture it and study it. We're the only ones awake now, so let's be careful," Mubai said.
"Mubai, I think you're getting better and better." Mofan patted Mubai on the shoulder happily, as if he was watching his child grow up.
"Don't you have the Undead Tool? You should be able to absorb all the energy. The heart and lungs of the spider are mine. If we use its organs to make a Magic Tool, we might be able to make a top-tier Magic Tool," Mubai said.
"Sure!" Mofan nodded.
