Marvel Age of Monsters

Chapter 132 132. Desert Temple
Old Tosh, who waited anxiously for the whole night, came to the school again the next morning with dark circles under his eyes, and Villa and his party who had been waiting at the school early were playing heartlessly.

Villa has asked the principal for a long vacation, and this time he may be away for a long time, maybe a few days, maybe half a month, they are not sure.

Yesterday, I bought some equipment for the expedition in Hong Kong. Due to the possibility of danger this time, Villa specially bought another leaf from Mr. Crab, waiting for Mr. Crab to rescue him at any time.

……

The extreme heat of the Sahara Desert is well known, but Ailan's magic cultivation is not bad, which has saved many unnecessary troubles for everyone.

The girl hated her skin being tanned, so she specially built a big shelter for herself, and flew to her destination all the way.

Old Tosh is no stranger to it. In the magical era, these things are everywhere in the streets and alleys, but the price is relatively expensive. A frugal person like Old Tosh is willing to buy these expensive magic creations.

Along the way, they gradually chatted about the pyramid. Only at this time did Old Tosh tell the whole story about the strangeness of the pyramid.

It turned out that the pyramid was a temple dedicated to a well-known figure who had never appeared in Egyptian mythology or history.

Moreover, with the excavation of the pyramid, the people under his hands dug up a lot of treasures inside. This should be something worth celebrating, but something weird happened that night.

Those who took the treasure turned into stone elephants that day, and they are still in the tent. Many timid workers have fled, and the few remaining workers are all workers who want to get the money promised by Old Tosh.

They are just a group of poor and frightened low-level personnel. There are many such people in Cairo, Egypt.

Soon, everyone arrived at the destination. There were already many abandoned tents on the construction site. Harry lifted one of them, and the petrified people inside were still in a lifelike state of excitement.

Harry subconsciously released magic with the ring in his hand, and a detection spell shone on the man. Suddenly, the stone elephant trembled slightly, and Harry's magic power was instantly absorbed. At the same time, a strange call came from not far away. from below the excavation hole.

Harry shuddered, and the faint call disappeared in an instant.

Shocked, Harry was covered in cold sweat. He subconsciously looked at Alan, who was a little frightened when he saw the magic power dissipating from Alan's hands. She stammered and said, "I'm afraid, Mr. Crab guessed right, I'm afraid there is trouble here." figure."

"Then what should we do? These people are still petrified!" Harry was a little annoyed, Mr. Crab's guess was obviously right, but who was buried here?

At this moment, Old Tosh rushed over from behind with a pleading tone: "Let's leave quickly, I was wrong, I shouldn't be greedy, they, they are all dead."

"Don't make noise, we're thinking of a solution. This person shouldn't be dead, he's just trapped by something like magic or a curse. I'll think of a way." Ailan was a little upset by old Tosh's noise, and frowned. After frowning for a long time, I decided to go down with my friends to have a closer look.

"Let's go, let's go down and find the problem. I think there should be the answer we need below." Ailan said, and took out a blue gemstone from her bosom, which was the masterpiece of the group of alchemists , is something similar to a signal for help. She asked Wu before to watch her signal carefully.

Harry scratched his head. He was not good at these details of magic, and his exposure to spells was limited. Most of the combat spells and auxiliary spells were given to him by Alan, so he didn't dare to ask more questions.

After Ailan didn't know what to do in the tent, he went down with Harry and the others towards the hollowed-out robbery hole.

The inside was very dark and filled with humid air, and bursts of stench came from below. Harry subconsciously released a fireball technique, lighting up the surroundings, revealing the environment in the robbery cave.

I saw that the burning of the flame instantly ignited some rotten wood and spider webs inside, and the whole hole suddenly became bright.

At this time, Ailan discovered the traces of artificial excavation in the cave and the collapsed tomb door. Villa rushed over excitedly. Compared with Harry and the laymen, Villa was very good at the ancient writing of Egyptian civilization.

Holding a flashlight, he lay down on the collapsed stone pillar and looked carefully.

"Sinners who slander...the gods...sentenced to death...punish the blasphemers...the top ten..." Frowning, Villa gently wiped the stone pillar with a small tool, trying to understand the rest of the text.

Suddenly there was an exclamation from a distance, and Harry's teammates shouted loudly: "Come here, come here, this should be a temple!"

Villa was stunned, and hurriedly followed them. As expected, in front of Harry's teammates was a dilapidated temple, and there were many gold vessels in it. Many gold vessels were scattered all over the place. Obviously, those greedy guys before made.

Old Tosh looked at those damn gold utensils silently, not knowing what to think.

Crossing this avenue of temples paved with gold, at the end of the temple is a strange inverted pyramid, the pyramid's spire sticks to the ground, and the broad side faces upwards.

After Harry and the others approached, they realized that this weird pyramid was very huge, and his surroundings were empty, except for some lamppost-like things around the edge, there was only a sink-like thing behind the pyramid.

There are still some ashes inside, which seem to be the sacrificial altars that the Egyptians used to worship a long time ago.

An indistinct shadow could be vaguely seen on the strange pyramid, which seemed to be a coffin. Harry's spirit was shaken, and he subconsciously wanted to go over to have a look. Before he could move, Alan suddenly raised his hand flashlight to illuminate the surroundings.

Harry took a closer look, his scalp was numb and he stopped, sweating profusely.It turns out that the vicinity of this pyramid has been covered with black and swarthy poisonous snakes at some time, the number is astonishing, and they have completely surrounded them.

"What's going on?" Harry came to Alan's side cautiously. If she hadn't discovered it early, they might all be injured.

"It's just some tricks of illusion. The person above should be an ancient priest who is proficient in illusion, and his power has been preserved to this day. I think besides this illusion, these snakes are also psychic snakes." Ailan said calmly explained.

"Psychic snake?" Villa looked at her in confusion.

"Psychic snakes are said to be sinners in ancient Egypt. They were punished by the contemporary high priest, and their souls were forcibly imprinted in the bodies of these snakes, so that they would be guarded in the tomb forever." Ailan suddenly remembered the history she had seen before. Biography, she was obsessed with such stories and legends for a while.
