"Are you sure it's possible?" Mofan blurted out in surprise.
"Yes, it's possible to set up such a complicated door. There must be a loophole in it. Even though we are impressed by the wisdom of the ancient people, modern people like us are not brainless. We just need to understand the order and rules of this place," Shreev said.
"Shreev, so it's reasonable that you're ugly. Ugly people usually have high intelligence," Zhao Manyan exclaimed.
"What do you mean? Are you saying you're retarded?" Shreev snapped.
"Thanks for complimenting my handsomeness," Zhao Manyan said shamelessly. Zhao Manyan felt a lot better after knowing there was another way.
"Let's move on to the next chamber," Shreev said.
"Will it kill you to take a rest?" Mofan said.
"Strange, aren't you the one in a hurry to move on?" Shreev said with a confused look.
Even though they were not injured, the impact of the Scorpion Lord Medusa's attack was still quite severe. They had to recover their heartbeats and move their bodies to forget about the aftereffects of being petrified.
…
After resting for a while, the group finally gathered their courage and continued forward. If they were not mistaken, the next chamber was related to the Scorpion Lord Medusa.
They had already decided that they would retreat as soon as they entered the chamber. Even though they were no longer in the chamber that belonged to the Scorpion Lord Medusa, Shreev had already grasped the rules. If they followed his plan, they would be able to avoid the unbeatable Mummy's chamber.
They soon reached the end of the passage. The outline of the chamber gradually appeared before them. Everyone was on high alert as soon as they set foot in the chamber. The fear that the Scorpion Lord Medusa had inflicted upon them had yet to dissipate. Let's hope that the creature in the chamber was not scarier than the Scorpion Lord Medusa, so their hearts would be able to take it.
"Strange … the doors of this tomb are all open!" Shreev suddenly spoke.
The chamber was very spacious. The Shreev's voice was echoing back and forth. Most importantly, apart from the ancient murals, paintings, and ceiling carvings, there was no coffin or guardian creature in the chamber!
"Many scorpion and snake marks," Heidi said.
"An empty tomb?" Mofan was very surprised.
He gathered his courage and walked around the tomb. He found that there were no living creatures in the tomb. Instead, there were all kinds of murals, paintings, scorpion carvings, and snake pillars. It made him feel like he had walked into an ancient palace of mythical snakes and scorpions.
The murals and sculptures on the walls were all dead. Mofan was very sure that there were no signs of life in any corner of the tomb.
"I understand," Shreev suddenly said.
"You don't have to tell me," Mofan looked around the huge paintings and murals.
The paintings and murals weren't painted with watercolors, but rather carved with some methods, made up of folds, dents, holes, scorpion patterns, and snake scales. It was unknown just how much manpower and wealth the ancient pharaohs had spent in order to recruit the Snake and Scorpion Tribe.
"Tell me about it!" Shreev said unwillingly.
"The snakes and scorpions are the same species. The Scorpion Lord Medusa represents the Scorpion Lord Medusa and the Scorpion Lord Medusa. Therefore, the tomb with the Scorpion Lord Medusa and the Scorpion Lord Medusa both belong to the Scorpion Lord Medusa. However, this tomb doesn't look like it was built for a Mummy. It's more like a place to record some ancient rituals, myths, and history. I remember there's a legend about the Medusa here. The first-generation Medusa was a human. She was most likely one of the first Mages to Awaken the Curse Element or the Psychic Element. The Curse Element and the Psychic Element were classified as forbidden or evil magic at that time, so the Medusa was worshipped by the humans. She was sent to the ancestor of the Scorpion Lord Medusa. To their surprise, the ancestor of the Scorpion Lord Medusa did not kill her. He slowly merged with her, and the Nagas and the Scorpion Lords were born. The Nagas had the Curse Element and the Petrification Element, while the Scorpion Lords had outstanding strength and physique … "Mofan explained as he looked at the murals.
Shreev looked at Mofan. He raised his thumb at Mofan and said, "You can actually understand the ancient Egyptian text. It seems like you're quite knowledgeable about it, too!"
"We're just studying the Totem Beasts. The way the ancient Egyptians studied the Totem Beasts is similar to how we treated the Totem Beasts as our gods. The Pharaohs overthrew the era of the ancient Godly Beasts and became the rulers. Our Totem Beasts gradually went extinct, so we gradually relied on magic to reach our current era," Mo Fan said.
Mofan did not mention that he had read the records in Parthenon. Ancient Greece and Ancient Egypt had always been close. Mofan simply linked the records he had read in Parthenon with the text. It was not difficult to decipher them.
"It says that Khufu created the Undead Element and built the pyramids that were connected to the Underworld. He helped the ancestor of the Scorpion Lords and the Medusa build many evil temples in order to strengthen his kingdom of the dead and prevent his descendants from overthrowing his rule," Shreev said.
"The murals here indicate that the undead had formed an alliance with the Scorpion Lords and the Scorpion Lords. The Scorpion Lords and the Scorpion Lords can move freely inside and outside the pyramids … HAHA, isn't that what people used to say when they were young!?" Zhao Manyan pointed at one of the murals and burst out laughing.
Mofan glanced at the mural. It was just as Zhao Manyan had mentioned. The Pharaoh Khufu had formed an alliance with the ruler of the Scorpion Lords, the Medusa …
"Why are you studying the murals? If there's no Mummy here, let's move on to the next destination and leave this place as soon as possible," Sayed said impatiently.
"Don't be like that, the murals have many secrets that we can't decipher, such as the true habitat of the Scorpion Lords and the Medusa. Give me some time, I'll study the evil temples, "Shreev said.
According to the murals, apart from building his unique pyramid, Khufu had also built evil temples for the Scorpion Lords and the Medusa. The temples were located in a desert somewhere in Egypt …
"Humph, so what if we know where the evil temples are? Do you really think we have the power to go inside and kill the evil Scorpion Lords and the Medusa?" Sayed mocked him.
"Sayed, how ignorant are you? One day, the Scorpion Lords and the Scorpion Lords will become enemies. One day, Egypt will only have room for one species. If we don't even know where their rulers are, how are we going to fight them and eliminate them? "Mios grumbled.
"Fine, fine, I'm being ignorant!" Sayed fell silent.
"What exactly are evil temples?" Mubai asked, still confused.
"Egypt has two local specialties, the undead and the Scorpion Lords. The Scorpion Lords and the Scorpion Lords are demon creatures. They don't need the deathlight to move freely. In other words, the Scorpion Lords and the Scorpion Lords are just as much of a threat to Egypt's cities as the undead. The real nest of the Scorpion Lords and the Scorpion Lords isn't a desert or a cave, but an evil temple. We've already talked about the origins of the evil temples. Many people know of their existence, but so far, only a handful of them have been discovered in Egypt. As for the evil temple where the real Ancestor Snake and Scorpion and Mother Medusa reside, no one knows of it yet. The evil temples were built by the Pharaohs and the Pharaohs, so the only way to know where the evil temples are is from the pyramids. The evil temples recorded in the Great Pyramid of Giza are most likely where the first Medusa lived … "Mofan explained.
"I see. So if we can find the evil temples and destroy them, the Scorpion Lords won't be a threat to us anymore?" Mubai asked.
"Something like that, but it's still too much for us to destroy the evil temples with our current strength. Let's find the evil temples first. It won't be too late to make plans after we grow stronger. Shreev has contributed greatly to their country, too, "Mofan said.
Shreev was taking notes. Mofan decided to look around since he had nothing better to do. The chamber was huge. Even though the paintings and murals were huge, there was still a lot of information recorded in them. It would be difficult to find the source of a story.
Mofan automatically ignored the murals that he had no clue about. He tried to find something he could understand.
"Mofan, there's a painting here. A snake is eating a human … I think it's eating a young girl …" Heidi tugged at Mofan's shirt and pointed at a painting with a hint of fear.
It was just an abstract drawing. However, when Apas mentioned that the young girl was eaten alive by some high-level Nagas and Scorpions, it gave off a different vibe.
Mofan glanced at the painting and let out a sigh.
"What does it mean at the end?" Heidi asked.
"It's most likely saying that the Medusa can obtain the girl's youth and beauty after eating her," Mofan said.
Mofan remembered that the young Medusa he had killed had started to look like Apas after she swallowed Apas alive. He believed that the young Medusa would turn into Apas once she digested Apas. It was quite a chilling thought.
"What's at the end?" Heidi asked.
"Well … I don't really understand it. I'm not a professional," Mofan said.
Shreev seemed to have recorded the information he was looking for while the two were talking. He was wearing the smile of a great man that could benefit the whole world. He was almost emitting a sacred glow!
"You can smile again if we can make it out alive," Mofan poured a bucket of cold water on the man's enthusiasm.
"Oh, I see," Shreev's smile dimmed. It was true that the information he was collecting would only be meaningful if they could make it out alive.
(I'm back to two updates a day.
I felt better yesterday, but I'm still weak. My wife said I've aged a lot. I was planning to update a little more yesterday, but I slept from three in the afternoon to seven in the morning. I've been unconscious for fifteen hours. It seems like I'm really too weak.
I'm doing pretty well today, except that I'm still feeling dizzy from coughing. Luckily, I don't cough much, so it's not too bad.
