Chapter 247
Yagerthos' mood wasn't much better. He sat on Baiage's back like a sculpture and remained motionless for a long time.
"Oh, you guys should be happy." Chen Jing and Anu jumped up and came to Bai Aji's back, talking to them both, "I have locked that damn thing in the deep space, but it's not like you are still here." Being able to run into this world and live freely, I like you two the most, you know..."
"King, are you afraid that it will come to this world and kill people randomly?" Jegertos asked calmly, exposing Chen Jing's lies mercilessly.
"Nonsense."
Chen Jing's expression didn't change, he raised his hand and patted Bai Aji's neck.
"Fly north! Faster!"
"..."
After receiving Chen Jing's order, Baiaji lazily flapped its wings and slowly raised its altitude to almost a thousand meters above the ground. It then began to accelerate towards the northern part of the wasteland...
"King, it's really more powerful than the plane in the Hanging City!" Anu sat next to Chen Jing and carefully stroked Baiaji's mane. "It should be the most powerful mount in the world!"
"Don't touch the stinky kid, or I'll eat you!" Bai Aji threatened Anu rudely, and then received a slap from Chen Jing.
"What a bad temper! Be nice to me!"
"..."
To the aboriginal people of the other world, this continent surrounded by the Sea of the Old Ones seems to be endless. Coupled with the backward transportation and lurking dangers, ordinary ancient people may have to go from south to north even if they want to go there. It took several years.
But with Baiaji, this time can be shortened to the limit.
Especially when Chen Jing urged him to speed up, it only took Bai Aji more than ten minutes to go from the walled city to the northern part of the wasteland.
This speed can be called "traveling".
Because in just ten minutes, Chen Jing witnessed with his own eyes the drastic changes in the topography of the wasteland with great contrast. There was even a piece of wasteland that was shrouded in ice and snow that had not melted for thousands of years...
"It's time to enter the northern area now...Aji! Slow down a little! Wait for Anu to help us find those landmarks!"
"good."
At this moment, Chen Jing raised his eyes and looked around. There was an invisible golden desert in all directions. There were neither polluted species nor wanderers in sight. It was as quiet as a dead place.
"We may still have to fly some distance forward." Anu had already put on the goggles he brought with him at this moment, pointing to the desert ahead and said, "There should be a canyon there, and we will almost arrive after crossing the canyon!"
"Then let's fly..." Baiaji yawned lazily, flapped his wings suddenly and prepared to fly forward at a faster speed.
And just then.
Yegetos, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke.
"Someone."
"where?"
"There."
Jegertos raised his hand and pointed to the desert on the right rear.
Chen Jing looked back and saw dozens of black spots moving slowly at the end of the desert.
"Maybe they are homeless people..." Chen Jing patted Bai Aji's neck gently and urged impatiently, "Don't worry about them, let's go first!"
"They have the aura of the Black Pharaoh!" When Yegertos said this, his tone was still a little surprised.
Hearing this, Chen Jing couldn't help but be startled.
The breath of the Black Pharaoh?
"Go over and take a look, remember to keep a safe distance." Chen Jing whispered to Bai Aji, and the look on his face became alert, "If the situation is not right, just go ahead and kill them all, don't hesitate. "
Hearing what Chen Jing said, Bai Aji's mood gradually rose, and he seemed to have returned to his normal state.
"Okay! Kill them all!" Bai Aji licked his mouth excitedly, then turned around and took Chen Jing and the others to fly back.
Not a moment.
Those black spots slowly moving in the desert gradually became clear in Chen Jing's eyes.
As Jagerthos said.
They are all human beings.
They are just giant snail shells carrying decay and decay.
An old man with a distorted and strange face.
Chapter 311 The Curse of the Pharaoh (Part 1)
"I'll go down and take a look."
Yegetos slowly stood up, and the flesh and blood armor on his body continued to squirm and began to shrink, as if he had entered a close-fitting state in preparation for battle.
As soon as he finished speaking, he jumped down from the high altitude.
"You can't kill him!" Bai Aji muttered in a low voice, and then received a slap from Chen Jing.
"Can't you two be more harmonious? Let me save the trouble." Chen Jing was a little helpless, "I saw that you were quite friendly when you teamed up to deal with the splendor in deep space!"
"That loser." Baiage defended in a low voice, seeming to have a lot of resentment towards Yagertos. "He also said that he was some kind of bullshit hunter, but in the end he couldn't even deal with that piece of splendor. Unfortunately, I still wanted to use him as my thigh." Still waiting..."
at the same time.
Accompanied by a shrill sound of breaking through the air, Jegertos was seen falling steadily to the ground.
Jegertos quickly climbed out of the deep hole he had made.
He looked up at Baiaji, who was hovering in the air, and then gave a thumbs up gesture.
"Don't tell me that his body is very strong..." Chen Jing muttered, while Anu on the side didn't even dare to take a breath, looking down nervously and curiously, his eyes always opened as wide as possible.
At this moment, the distance between Jegertos and those weird snail old men was only about a hundred meters.
However, the old people carrying snail shells never stopped.
They had maintained their previous slow pace and did not stop moving just because a monster fell from the sky.
This made Chen Jing a little confused.
He had been carefully observing the movements below, and was even prepared to fight each other when they met.
But the reality is beyond everyone's expectation.
When Jagerthos held a broadsword and got ready to face the enemy, the old men carrying snail shells on their backs did not make any stop, but just passed by him.
It was as if Jagerthos was an invisible mass of air.
Seeing this scene, Yegetos couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then quickly followed these weird old people.
After several tests.
Jagertos discovered that these old men carrying snail shells could not see him, or they pretended not to see him.
They all seemed to have turned into slow-moving zombies.
"There doesn't seem to be any danger." When Chen Jing saw Yegetos standing on the ground waving to him, he gently patted the mane on Baiaji's neck, "Let's go down and take a look."
Bai Aji hummed, then flapped his wings and quickly descended, sending Chen Jing to the ground after a while.
"What's going on?" Chen Jing stepped on the desert sand, feeling like he was stepping on a hot iron plate.
In fact, when he first entered the northern area of the wasteland, Chen Jing discovered that the climate here was not quite right.
The climate here was more extreme than the extreme climate he had seen in the wasteland before.
Although the sun could not be seen in the white sky, the muggy heat in the air made even an old descendant like him unbearable.
"They all seem to have been contaminated by the power of the Black Pharaoh." Jegertos whispered, as if he was facing a formidable enemy. "I have seen those people who were cursed by the Black Pharaoh in the old days. Although it looks like The situation is different from theirs, but the feeling is the same, they have all become empty shells.”
Chen Jing was confused, but he could also vaguely feel that these old people were different from other creatures he had seen in the other world.
The aura that was shrouded in the haze of death was inexplicably thick, like the living dead who had just crawled out of the grave...
The old people walked in front carrying snail shells on their backs.
Chen Jing followed with Yegetos and the others.
Everything looks harmonious.
At least when Chen Jing deliberately walked closer to observe them, the old people didn't show any abnormality.
They were still walking forward with their heads down, like some kind of machinery that never stops spinning.
After careful inspection, Chen Jing found that there were some differences among the sixteen old snails.
At least their faces look different.
Some old people have the features of Asians, while others have the facial features of Europeans.
In addition, their gray skin could not see any trace of blood, like corpses that had been dead for several days, exuding a strong corpse odor and a strange herbal aroma.
The snail shells on their backs looked like industrial products taken in batches from a certain factory. The size, specifications and thread shape were exactly the same.
"Their direction seems to be the same as ours." Chen Jing's eyes stayed on the dark eyes of an old man for a long time, and there was no trace of anger in the cloudy eyeballs. "It was the direction Anu pointed us in."
"Kill them all?" Jegertos asked in a low voice.
He was still extremely wary of these snail old men. He held the broadsword firmly in his hand and did not dare to let go. He was ready to take action at any time.
"Observe for a while first." Chen Jing said softly.
Since these weird snail people didn't attack them or even show any hostility, he naturally wasn't in a hurry to take action.
What's more, he was also curious, what were these old people doing in the tomb of the Black Pharaoh?
"They look scarier than the polluted species..." Anu tugged on Chen Jing's clothes tightly, his voice trembling slightly as he spoke, obviously frightened by those weird old people.
"It's okay, they probably won't attack..."
Chen Jing comforted Anu softly.
But before he could finish his words, the old man walking in front carrying a snail shell suddenly stopped, and the entire team came to a standstill in an instant without warning.
Jagerthos almost instinctively raised the broadsword in his hand, and Baiaji who followed behind also opened his mouth wide, ready to reward them with a breath.
I saw three old men in the team suddenly falling to the ground with a plop, as if they had turned into corpses that had completely lost the ability to move, lying quietly and motionless.
"Is this... dead?" Chen Jing was confused and felt a little nervous.
Is this a change caused by our influence?
"It seems so." Jegertos looked at the old men who fell on the ground carefully, not daring to let down his guard.
at the same time.
The other old snails in the team suddenly started to move.
They silently divided into three groups, then slowly surrounded the three "dead bodies" and mechanically dug the three old people out of the snail shells.
Yes, dig it raw.
Their fingertips looked sharper than the blades of knives.
But in the blink of an eye, they dug out those bodies from the snail shells, including the skin and flesh.
It was only then that Chen Jing was able to see clearly what was going on inside the snail shell.
Rough as a rock.
The bumpy surface is covered with slime.
Moreover, the bodies hidden in the snail shells were obviously deformed, and looked much more exaggerated than the common hunchbacks, as if a twisted tumor had grown on their backs.
Under the gray skin.
Something seemed to be wriggling in the tumor...
Chapter 312 The Curse of the Pharaoh (Part 2)
When the first old man scratched the "tumor" with his fingers, the foul-smelling pus gushed out instantly.
The pus sprayed into the sky like a fountain, and then fell on the surroundings and the snail man like flowers scattered by the goddess.
The extremely strong visual impact made Chen Jing feel sick.
