"Screech ~!!!!!"
A screech so sharp that it felt like hundreds of lightning bolts had struck his head from the sky. His head felt like it was about to explode.
Mo Fan's head buzzed. His consciousness started to blur. He almost fainted.
When the screech slowly faded away, Mo Fan finally recovered a little!
Mo Fan turned around and glanced at the golden-green bird. He almost fell to the ground in fright after taking a glance. The golden-green bird had turned into an enormous bird the size of a cloud. Its wings were covered in golden, conical feathers. The feathers were all standing on end when it was infuriated. The creature was extremely dangerous, as if the feathers were going to penetrate its body and kill it at any second!
"It's about to attack." Mo Fan felt the air pressure changing. It was difficult to breathe.
"Screech ~!!!!!"
The giant golden bird flapped its wings vigorously, and the conical feathers on its body immediately turned into a golden rainstorm, pouring down from the sky in a slanted manner.
The feathers looked like leaves when they were on the ground. When the golden feathers rained down from the sky, Mo Fan finally realized how huge the giant golden bird was. A single feather was as thick as one of Mo Fan's legs!
These were not feathers. They were clearly golden conical knight spears. Mo Fan and Heidi both used Blink to escape the baptism of the golden feathers. Soon, more golden feathers fell from the sky. There was nowhere to hide!
"What a big one!!" Zhao Manyan raised his head. He felt like half of his vision was blocked by the giant golden bird. The rest of the area was a vast blue sky!
"Big my ass, hurry up and block it!" Mo Fan immediately cursed when he heard Zhao Manyan's voice.
Zhao Manyan, Mios, Mubai, and Shreev cast defensive spells simultaneously. Barriers of different colors, ice shields, wind barriers, and light walls intertwined above Mo Fan and Heidi …
They initially thought the defensive spells would be able to provide some protection for Mo Fan and Heidi. To their surprise, the spells were punctured like bubbles by the powerful feathers. They did not last long.
Everyone was given a great fright. How strong was the giant golden bird? Their combined defensive spells were enough to resist a Super Spell, yet they were so weak against the giant golden bird's spell. The area of effect of the Golden Feather Storm was extremely huge …
"Run, run now!" Mubai yelled.
There was no way to stop it. They had no choice but to run.
"I f * * king know, give me some speed!" Mo Fan yelled.
Luckily, Mo Fan and Heidi were not too far away from the rectangular tunnel. The two of them managed to escape in time. Not long after the feathers fell to the ground, Mo Fan and Heidi finally made it through the door!
"Pu pu pu pu pu!"
The golden-brown tiles behind them were instantly shattered into pieces. The terrifying feathers even penetrated the golden-brown walls of the door, scaring everyone into running for their lives!
"Let's go, this guy is scarier than the Snake-haired Scorpion Lord!" Mo Fan rose to his feet and ran.
…
The group of people ran for more than ten minutes and almost reached the entrance of another tomb. They leaned against the wall in shock and gasped for air. Their clothes were drenched in sweat.
"This guy … I don't think I've seen it before in the northern border." Zhao Manyan panted.
"Yes, I feel like it's on the same level as the Sphinx." Mo Fan said with lingering fear.
"Too terrifying." Heidi's face was pale.
In front of the enormous golden bird, she felt like they were a group of small earthworms. When it flew over from afar and was about to dive down, the suffocating feeling it gave them was something they would never forget for the rest of their lives. The only thing worth rejoicing about was that they had learned their lesson from the Snake-haired Scorpion Lord Medusa. They knew that the guards here were definitely very powerful, so they didn't stray too far from the door.
In other words, these small earthworms had only circled around the cave entrance. When they saw the enormous golden bird, they immediately went back. Even so, they had almost lost their lives!
"Shreev, are you sure we can avoid this guy?? It's probably Khufu's right-hand man. "Mo Fan said.
"We'll have to see which chamber we'll end up in," Shreev said.
"What? You don't know which chamber we'll end up in?" Mo Fan asked.
"It's hard to say. Even if we go into the chamber of the enormous golden bird and come back, the Mummy's chamber will still be different. The chambers are random, just like how the Rubik's Cube is messed up. I don't know how the Rubik's Cube is messed up, but I'll be able to figure out the order after going into one or two chambers, "Shreev said.
"Let's go to the next chamber, then," Mo Fan said.
"By the way, before we enter the next chamber, we have to figure out the situation first. We have to make sure we're strong enough to take on the Mummy before we fight it. Otherwise, we have to retreat and find another route, "Shreev said.
…
There were a few hundred Mummy chambers in the Great Pyramid of Giza. They were the VIPs of Khufu's Kingdom of the Dead. Even the weakest among them was a Commander-level creature, but there were plenty of strong ones.
Using the Advisor Mummy as a standard, they would fight any Mummy that was weaker than the Advisor Mummy. They would open all four doors and follow the path Shreev had deduced to avoid the Golden Bird.
If they encountered a Mummy that was stronger than the Mummy, they would either retreat or go straight to the front door. If they chose the wrong door, it was easy for the sequence to return to zero.
In Shreev's words, there were bound to be weak Mummy chambers among a few hundred Mummy chambers. They would rather go around a few more chambers than risk their lives trying to take on a powerful Mummy!
…
Shreev's method worked. It was just as he had mentioned. There were bound to be weak Mummy chambers among a few hundred Mummy chambers. They would open all four doors after eliminating the Mummy. It was as if they were walking through a huge maze of intersections. Although they knew the fastest way to reach the exit of the maze, they couldn't get past the golden bird, so they had to go around it and walk through a few more intersections. Similarly, if they stumbled into a strong Mummy along the way, they would use the same method to go around it.
It was a stupid method, as they would have to go through four to eight chambers to go around a strong Mummy chamber, but it was better than being wiped out!
…
"How many days have we been here?" Mubai suddenly asked.
"I don't know, there's no measurement of time here, but it feels like we've been here for more than half a month," Heidi said.
"Shreev, are you sure there's nothing wrong with your method? Are we really not going around blindly?" Zhao Manyan could not help but ask.
The detour was a lot longer than they had imagined, especially when they would encounter powerful Mummies along the way. As a result, the number of Mummy chambers they had to pass through kept increasing.
"It's definitely going to be fine, you have to trust me!" Shreev said.
"But last time, you told us that we would be able to leave this place after twenty-four chambers. Now it's thirty-six chambers … I feel like we're going to die from exhaustion!" Zhao Manyan said.
"There's nothing I can do about it. The Mummy chambers in the Great Pyramid of Giza are all very strong. If we stumble into a Mummy that we can't defeat every time we take a detour, the number of chambers we have to go through will increase," Shreev said helplessly.
"I'm afraid we're going to break down at this rate," Mios said.
"I think so too."
"Let's keep going, there's no other way."
…
…
Fatigue!
After the group was given a fright by the Giant Golden Bird, they were determined to go through the weaker chambers of the Mummy. However, the Great Pyramid of Giza was not going to be easy. The number of chambers they had to go through kept increasing. They had to go through fifty-six chambers of the Mummy at one point!
At first, the group thought Khufu only had a few hundred chambers of the Mummy, so it was only a matter of time before they reached the chambers of the Mummy they had gone through before. They would be able to pass the trial without having to fight. However, they had underestimated Khufu's influence. A few hundred chambers of the Mummy? Based on their experience so far, the number of chambers of the Mummy was in the thousands!
The plan was more difficult and time-consuming than they had imagined. It was so long that they were on the verge of breaking down.
"How long have we been here?"
Every time someone asked the question, it meant that their determination was wavering.
"If we're counting with my beard, we've been here for two months," Zhao Manyan leaned against the wall. He was so dispirited that he looked like a Mummy.
"Why don't we try our luck with the Giant Golden Bird?"
"We might as well kill ourselves here!"
"I'm going crazy. To hell with the mummies!!!"
"We're so unlucky. We keep stumbling into strong Mummy … (Sigh), it's our fault for being too weak. If we were all Super Mages, we wouldn't have to go around the chambers of the Mummy, and we wouldn't have to go through an endless path like this," Shreev sighed.
"Just treat it as cultivation. Cheer up!" Mofan was still relatively calm.
It was indeed a kind of torture. Mofan was only able to stay calm because he kept collecting Soul Essences from the Mummy he killed. On top of that, Mofan noticed that some chambers of the Mummy would have tall spiders with golden heads and silver bodies. Mofan would benefit greatly from killing the Mummy!
