…
After the rain, the desert was filled with a thick smell of mud. Fortunately, the sand here was still considered clean. Otherwise, after being scorched by the scorching sun for a period of time, the smell in the air would be enough to make people nauseous.
Some green plants in the Gobi Desert began to grow. It could be seen that the rain was very effective in nourishing them. Their leaves and rhizomes were very bright and full. Occasionally, one or two unknown flowers could be seen. The colors were like those meticulously dyed silk bundles, blooming wantonly under a huge rock covered with Snake Scale Moss. The entire Gobi Desert looked like a grayish-white world in contrast …
"These flowers look like monsters on the walls. It feels like they are staring at us even when we're quite a distance away … ah, scorpions, scorpions, there's a pair of shoes!" Jiang Binming suddenly screamed in the middle of his sentence.
The Huntress, Anna, was standing beside him. She was wearing a pair of black sneakers and an elegant outfit. She was a beautiful sight in the desert. However, she raised her foot and stomped the scorpions into the sand. She giggled and said, "Young man, I don't think it's suitable for you to come to the desert."
A few students were also laughing along with them.
The scorpions were only the size of a finger, yet there were at least a few hundred thousand of them around Cairo!
"I've always hated these ugly insects since I was young … snake, behind you, there's a snake behind you!" Jiang Binming suddenly screamed in fear.
Anna didn't even turn her head. When the viper hiding behind the rock pounced towards her, she casually pinched the neck of the viper with incomparable precision.
"Hiss hiss hiss ~"
The poisonous snake hissed unwillingly. Its colorful body kept twisting as it tried to break free.
Anna took out a jar from her space bracelet and stuffed the fire snake into it. Then, as if nothing had happened, she took out a flask of wine and took a sip of it with her flaming red lips.
"Why … why did you put the snake away?" Jiang Binming asked with wide eyes.
"To soak it in wine, where else would it come from? Didn't you take a sip of it before?" Anna replied.
Jiang Binming's face turned pale!
Was he asking for snake wine before!?
How disgusting!
"Afraid of heights, afraid of insects, afraid of snakes …" Guan Yao shook her head at Jiang Binming. She had no idea why he had come to Egypt.
…
During the break, Ling Ling called Anna to the side.
Anna was also surprised when she saw Ling Ling. Who would have thought that a Seven Star Hunter would be an 18-year-old first-year student? However, after a brief interaction, Anna could tell that this young girl possessed rich and professional Hunter knowledge. Obviously, it was not fake!
"Our professor plans to go to the Sunset Temple to look for the Pharaoh Spring. He hasn't told us anything yet. Do you think that kind of place exists?" Ling Ling asked Anna.
"Since ancient times, the Banshees have had a close relationship with the Pharaohs sleeping in the tombs. About a year ago, someone discovered that there was an evil temple under the Sunset Temple, but no one was able to find the real entrance. In my opinion, if there is a Pharaoh Spring, it must be in the Evil Temple. "Anna replied.
"Won't we be delivering food to the snake monsters if we go to the evil temple?" Ling Ling said.
Anna nodded.
The evil temple was a mysterious and eerie place. If they did not have a Senior Hunter with them, they might never be able to leave.
"The evil temples are called palaces by the Dark Creatures. They are used to communicate with the Advanced Creatures of the Dark Plane. The Banshees and Sorcerers aren't the only creatures living in the evil temples. There might be powerful Spirits of the Dark Plane roaming in the evil temples too," Anna said softly. It was as if she would be cursed by some unknown power if she mentioned anything about the evil temples.
The existence of the evil temples had always been strange. They were even more unpredictable than the Pyramids of the Pharaohs. Not many people were able to describe the actual situation inside the evil temples. It was as if the people who survived the evil temples were mentally unstable. They were describing the same evil temples, but they were describing two completely different things.
"Some say that the inside of the evil temples is a dark underground temple. The pillars, corridors, and floors are dark. There's no light inside. Even the Light Element is devoured by the strong presence of darkness. You can hear cries and screams in the endless corridors and labyrinths …"
"Some say that the evil temples are located in a boundless dark underground cave. Walking in the dark cave is like walking in a dark night without any stars or moonlight. When people are close to despair, when they start to lose their mind, the evil temples will suddenly appear on the huge black stalactites. They will emit an eerie glow that will attract people's attention."
Anna mentioned a few different versions of the evil temples.
However, these versions were told by those who had survived the Evil Temple. Until now, people still couldn't figure out why each person who had been to the Evil Temple had a different description of the Evil Temple.
"Speaking of which, your professor seems to know a lot about Egypt. Even though we have the exact coordinates of the Sunset Shrine, and it's public information, it's not easy to lead a team to the Sunset Shrine. We didn't even stumble into any snake demons along the way," Anna said.
Ling Ling nodded.
Professor Tong Zhouzhen seemed to be a reliable Mage, a Hunter, and a scholar.
Ling Ling had read the professor's information. It mentioned that he had been to many places that no one had visited. He was a man who was obsessed with adventures, archeology, hunting, and solving mysteries.
The Hunter Association was only one of the associations he had established. He had also done some research on the ancient Totem Beasts in China. As such, Ling Ling had chosen to join Professor Tong Zhouzhen's team.
It was very important to decide which team to join. Ling Ling had already done some research before she came to the Imperial College.
…
There were a large number of Snake Demons roaming within a 30-kilometer radius of the Sunset Temple. They were the guards of the Banshee Shrine. According to legend, the Sunset Temple was first established by a great magician. She had a Great Snake Summoned Beast.
The ancient Mage was nearing the end of her lifespan. She had turned the Sunset Shrine into her tomb and chased everyone away. The Serpent had been guarding her coffin since her death.
The Serpent had a long lifespan, yet it had never left the Sunset Shrine. Unfortunately, the Serpent of the Sunset Shrine had gradually turned into a demon beast after breaking free from its contract with humans.
They had multiplied, expanded, and experienced countless wars. Wars between humans and demons, between demons and demons …
In the end, the Sunset Shrine had turned into a nest of snake demons.
