Chapter 168·Pilgrimage Road, Horus, Nephthys

——[Correction of the main mission—Complete the temple tour and arrive at the Pyramid of Anubis within seven days. If successful, all participants will receive a B-level side plot and 4,500 reward points. If you fail, the corresponding branch plot and reward points will be deducted. 】

The test has come - just as the reincarnations expected.

After returning it and saying goodbye to Evelin and his wife - Evelin was not very willing, but her husband thought it was okay - after that. The Samsaras chose a place that was private and wide enough. Then, with all the members watching, Zhao Yingkong took a deep breath and placed the Scorpion King's bracelet on his wrist.

Zheng Zha originally wanted to do it for him, but Zhao Yingkong insisted. After the two looked at each other for five seconds, Zheng Zha decided to respect his companion's will.

then……

‘Click—’ a soft sound. Gold bracelet, closed.

The phantom projected into the eyes of the reincarnators arrived together with the Lord God's notification - the phantom flashed several times in succession, pointing to several temple ruins on the African land. And in the end, it was projected onto a black pyramid surrounded by oasis.

Amshe Oasis, Black Pyramid of Anubis.

Zhan Lan closed his eyes and rubbed his forehead vigorously. Her mental power fluctuated across the sky, and an expected answer arrived immediately.

"No... I locked the latitude and longitude, but there is just a desert. It may be impossible to skip the previous steps and reach the end point directly. We must complete the temple tour according to the plot and the mission arrangement of the Lord God. Then we can reach the oasis.”

"In other words, only after completing the temple tour can the oasis be activated." Jiang Yu added. "In the movie, it was Immortun and his party who completed the tour, while O'Connor only followed... and there was still a short distance. And this may mean that as long as one person completes the temple tour, Amshe Oasis It will be open for any living or dead thing to pass through."

"The tombkeeper mentioned that Anubis planned to release the Scorpion Emperor." Zhan Lan nodded. "We can go in, and it can come out. But the Death Bracelet is in our hands. As long as we don't summon the Death Army, the only one we have to face is the Scorpion King."

In the plot of the movie, the Order split up after arriving at the Pyramid of Anubis. Immorton and Ansuna went to challenge the Scorpion King. The leader of the cult aroused the Legion of Anubis at the cost of one hand - the two were in parallel and there was no conflict. Theoretically, as long as the reincarnator holding the bracelet does not touch Anubis' ritual platform, he will only encounter one powerful enemy in the temple.

"But still be careful. The Scorpion King himself has the power to summon the Death Army." An obvious variable. Since Anubis plans to release the Scorpion King, the Scorpion King that the reincarnations will face may be different from the one in the original plot.

Different - different as it should be. In the original movie, the temple tour is just an unimportant plot. It was passed in one stroke without any twists and turns. But in the Infinite Original Code, Zheng Zha, who returned from World Seven, encountered tests when he arrived at several temples. The content of the test was for the giant statue to come to life, stand up, and then teach the reincarnators how to face giant objects.

"Group B-level branch line... This doesn't even include the Scorpion King we will face in the end." Jiang Yu tapped her temple lightly. "This temple tour will not be peaceful. We are likely to encounter some...unexpected changes."

"Chu Xuan," he tilted his head, his eyes casting a searching light. "How are things going in England?"

"There are no signs of ships sailing." A series of code chains appeared in Chu Xuan's glasses, and then a light curtain was projected from one edge of the glasses, turning into a three-dimensional view in the eyes of the reincarnations—— That is England. England’s panoramic landscape is obscured by clouds and fog all year round. High-precision spy satellites in this era are completely beyond the dimensionality reduction of indigenous creatures. Except for some areas sheltered by mysterious forces, the reincarnators can Every move in the England region is detected from a distance.

"The Goblin Knights haven't returned yet. We are too fast, and they have already tried their best to act. And if according to my calculations, even if they successfully return to London, they will have to deal with some internal affairs first. Then they can find time to attack us. — but that’s normal, and I noticed something a little unusual.”

The projection quickly switched from England to North Africa. Several temples that needed to be visited were quickly clearly marked by Chu Xuan using projections. A small number of them are recorded ruins, and a small number are ruins of lost temples.

He was particularly heavy on one of the spots.

"This temple is one of the temples we are about to arrive at. The architectural style observed through satellite views and some archaeological documents corresponding to the 21st century. I can basically confirm that this temple is the ancient temple in Egypt. Outside, there is another Temple of Set in North Africa.”

"Set." Jiang Yu lowered her eyes. "If the temple tour is a test, then when we arrive at the Temple of Set, the difficulty will definitely increase to the maximum. Perhaps, we will encounter Ammanet for the second time."

"This possibility exists, but it is smaller than the other one." Chu Xuan gently pressed his eye frame. "We may encounter the Fairy Knights in the Temple of Set - the part of the Fairy Knights that belongs to vampires."

"Wait a minute, don't you mean... Seth will directly teleport the largest group of dependents under his command. Think of it as a test for us during the tour, right?" Zheng Zha blinked. "He is a god after all. He can't be so shameless... No way."

His expression gradually stiffened.

Because everyone else except him just stared at him quietly, with heavy expressions on their faces.

"Set's role in the mythological system dominated by Horus is not upright." Zhan Lan sighed. "He murdered Osiris, his brother, by trickery."

"...It's better than hastily accepting the challenge." Jiang Yu breathed out softly. "Our intelligence has been exposed very little, but their intelligence has been exposed a lot. We have a few days to prepare. The decision on when to go to the Temple of Set to meet the pilgrimage test is up to us... Chu Xuan's plan can be delayed for at least three or four days. And we have plenty of mobility.”

"But there is a Duke and three Marquises in the Goblin Knights." Zhan Lan recounted the story here. "Moreover, there are treasures in their hands that must exist but we know very little about. Although it is unlikely to be a symbol of royal power such as the Sword in the Lake, but... they are vampires and at the same time they are also a knighthood."

Goblin Knights, Knights of the Round Table.

If there is nothing in common between the two, it can only be said to be too serious a self-deception. There are really countless sacred artifacts and treasures in legendary stories that are related to the Knights of the Round Table.

Reincarnators, there was a moment of silence.

Among those who reincarnate, there is no one to fear.

Count seconds.

"Tsk, it's just B-level." Cheng Xiao suddenly chuckled, danced and made a funny look: "There shouldn't be any of us who find such a challenge difficult, right? Probably not?"

A burst of laughter. The originally slightly stiff atmosphere was opened up. At least for now, there is no need for everyone to make a fatal decision.

"The difficulty lies only in the vampire duke whose real name is unknown and whose equipment is unknown." Jiang Yu shrugged. "For now, the titles of the vampires we come into contact with in this world are basically in line with the redemption level provided by the Lord God. The Duke is AA, and even if the other party does not have a gene lock, he should have concentration similar to the third level, as well as sufficient resources. combat experience."

"It is indeed a challenge." Zheng Zha nodded. "But it seems that the Lord God didn't say that we must defeat it. Considering the combat power of the Vampire Marquis we encountered before... If we just delay or resist for a period of time, I think it will be fine even if I am alone. More Besides, we can just take advantage of the noon sun to go there...can't Seth also open a duel field for us this time?"

"This possibility cannot be ruled out. But its probability is indeed very low." Chu Xuan tapped the frame of his glasses, and the projection immediately closed. Move the discussion to the next session. "The gods have their own rules. The rules are not only whether they can take action, but also the level at which they take action. Last time, we and the tombkeepers demolished Set's temple. But this time, the pilgrims visited the temple and accepted the test. The link agreed upon by the gods.”

"I have a feeling that things won't be smooth sailing for us this time. But it won't be a bumpy road either."

……………………

Chu Xuan's judgment was correct - indeed, the journey of the reincarnators was not a bumpy road.

After calculating the location of each temple and planning a route. The Samsaras of the Central Continent Team decided to put the Temple of Set at the end of their tour to avoid the possibility of having to escape while visiting other temples if they were unable to defeat them. And since the last temple is the temple of Seth. So, the first temple should naturally be the temple of Horus.

Horus, or Ra.

When the reincarnations descended carefully one kilometer away. Be prepared for battle and then step into the gate of the temple. What awaits the reincarnators is not the activation of the giant harpy.

Horus did not stand up and hit anyone, which was not beyond the expectations of the reincarnators. When the reincarnations walked into the temple cautiously and completed the void check-in. A pure white falcon flew out from behind the statue and circled around the reincarnations. Then, it turned into scattered light feathers and descended towards the reincarnations.

There is no hostility.

There was no premonition of crisis.

From a logical level, the possibility of Horus taking action against the reincarnators is also relatively small.

The feathers of light fell smoothly onto the reincarnators. Rather than being evaded by someone who thinks he is very smart. When the light feather touched the body, it passed through all the protection or armor of the reincarnations easily and without any hindrance. Then, merge into the body.

Some unknown force was exerted on the reincarnations. It was like some kind of shelter. The most basic appearance was that everyone felt the warmth that spread to all limbs and bones. Then, a glow appeared on the skin.

——‘Go and let Seth lose again. ’

It seems that there is such a voice ringing in everyone's heart. Every member of the Central Continent team had some kind of realization at this moment - those who are protected by the light of Horus will gain a certain degree of special attack and special defense when facing the power of Set. . The magnitude is not huge, but it can definitely have a certain effect.

The gods have their own rules - Horus and Set are mortal enemies.

Horus provided this level of protection to the reincarnators, which naturally meant that Set had also planned small means of the same specifications. As of now, this 'small means' has not yet fallen out of the category of 'small'.

very good.

The glow of the statue dimmed. Became ordinary and gray. And in the minds of the reincarnators, the main god's stage announcement also sounded.

——[Complete a tour point. There are still...]

The visit to the first temple is over.

And soon, the reincarnations went to the second place - Nephthys, the patron saint of the dead and the new life. She is the sister of Osiris, the sister of Seth, the wife of Seth, and possibly the mother of Anubis.

His position is complex, but He will always choose a side and get involved. And when the reincarnations arrived at the temple of Nephthys. The huge statue of a decayed and pale god with wings on his head, a basket on his head, and long hair like a shroud came to life in the tremors and stood up. The huge but slender scepter pointed directly at the reincarnations.

The black wind stirred, and from the sea of ​​sand, hundreds, thousands, or even more spiritual mummies wrapped in yellow sand were revived by the power of the God of Hades. They let out bursts of sharp howls and rushed towards the reincarnations from all directions!

They're just side dishes, they're not worth mentioning. The huge statue itself is a more terrifying weapon of war than the sum of them. The moment the scepter was waved, a fiery brilliance lit up in the eyes of the statue!

Jiang Yu's movements were very fast - very fast. When the eyes of the statue lit up, he had already moved from the middle of the team to the front of the team. The body and armor have achieved resonance, and the huge tower shield can easily spread out the fused shield in front!

'boom--! ! ’ A huge explosion, a huge impact.

The blazing light almost made Jiang Yu's shield-raising hand tremble. But he finally held on, using the heavy shield that was assimilated with his body to block and deflect this energy impact, which was not much different from a heavy laser cannon.

His companions were behind him.

The defensive force field extending from the shield surface, under the interference of his will and biological force field, turned into a hemisphere that completely blocked the defense of the entire team - the blazing light projected from the eyes of the statue. The cracked light pillar was deflected and became an energy surge covering the outside of the hemisphere. The power of the foreign enemy turned into a cover, preventing the thousands of awakened spiritual mummies from taking a step closer to the reincarnations!

The light faded away.

"Do it!"

I will be discharged from the hospital in the evening. There is only one session today and the second session will be resumed tomorrow.
