Chapter 78: Deduction, Searching and the Whisper of the Dead
"Mortal! You have desecrated the dignity of God, and I will take your soul to hell for judgment today!" After a brief transmission of consciousness, the faint black dust on Shan Quan's body dispersed in all directions, and the environment began to change!
Li Yuanba hadn't even gotten angry yet, but this giant dog had already taken the initiative. Li Yuanba didn't do anything else, he just wanted to see what this dog was going to do!
The surrounding changes made Li Yuanba very interested, looking at the black vortex, creating an illusion of being drawn into a storm! This is a kind of interference to human vision, just like sitting in front of a computer watching the rotating screen, causing a dizzy feeling.
Li Yuanba's eyes blurred, he blinked, and when he opened them again, he found himself in a gloomy land of death! Unlike the hell he knew, the souls of the dead here were all mummies! The golden pyramid in the distance had also turned into a massive mountain range!
"What kind of international joke is this? The ghost wrapping dumplings is not as scary as the bloody ghost, it's a brain-damaged illusion!" The mountain of corpses and sea of blood are not enough to describe Li Yuanba's slaughter! This figure wrapped in white cloth is really brain-damaged, such a childish illusion can't even arouse Li Yuanba's interest!
This illusory realm, composed of the bodies and dust of tens of thousands of people, was enormous, extending over eight hundred miles to include even the Tang army's encampment. However, in their eyes, they saw a group of mummies moving back and forth not far away, with familiar terrain transformed into a hellish border region, constantly emitting scorching white smoke and eerie cold winds that sent chills down to the bone.
But in a moment, it seemed like a whirlpool more terrifying than hell itself had formed at the center of the scene, causing everyone present to watch in horror as their surroundings twisted and returned to their original campsite, as if they were dreaming. Those prying feelings also vanished into thin air!
The gigantic unparalleled illusory shadow behind Li Yuanba, standing upright in the center of hell, raised its right hand and held it flat. Li Yuanba lightly shouted: "Palm Breaking Heaven!"
The right hand's five fingers moved swiftly, forming a small whirlwind in the palm, absorbing the surrounding dust! The wandering mummies and dust-constituted illusions around him were all sucked away!
That dog's body also became nearly transparent, Li Yuanba's spiritual force made the destructive power of the broken sky in the virtual shadow's single hand more terrifying than physical attacks! The virtual shadow in his hand formed a huge black ball with the absorbed dust, and threw it to one side with a flick of his wrist. He then grabbed the dog in his palm with a backhand motion.
Before Li Yuanba could grab the dog and observe it closely, the spiritual mountain hound transmitted a sentence after condensing its energy, dissipating most of its energy back into the golden pyramid: "Mortal! Your blasphemy will make you live forever under the curse of God!"
That small portion of energy merged into Li Yuanba's unparalleled true body!
"Curse?... Haha, you little brat don't think about running!" Li Yuanba stood in confusion on the spot wanting to investigate if he really received that terrifying curse from the afterlife. After a round of investigation, what a surprise!
Li Yuanba felt that his Wu Xing True Body was being nourished, and the information transmitted back to him was that due to a lack of energy for the new skill, it had temporarily stopped evolving!
"New skill? Haha, I'm really looking forward to it!" Li Yuanba was overjoyed and rushed to the base to inform them to come and sweep the battlefield. He wanted to explore the secrets of this golden pyramid himself! This condensed spiritual entity must not be let go!
Wang Ting and the others also wanted to follow, when they arrived at the bottom of the golden pyramid, they felt something was wrong. As soon as they touched the edge of the golden pyramid with their hands, there was a surge of energy that shook their minds! This energy can drive ordinary people mad and die, and for them, it's not suitable for long-term contact, which will make their realm unstable and lead to demotion!
"You wait here, I'll eliminate this energy and come in later!" Li Yuanba dissuaded his wife from entering together, picked up the large hammer and struck the sealed stone door with all his might!
"Hmph, it's quite solid!" Li Yuanba's large hammer smashed into the thick stone door, although the stone door was shattered layer by layer, but the effect wasn't very good! This was the first time Li Yuanba had encountered a situation where brute force couldn't shatter the entire stone block at once!
"I don't believe it! Get out of the way!" Li Yuanba was impatient, and after they moved aside, Li Yuanba stood about three meters away from the stone gate. With a throwing motion, "Pursue! Open for me!"
The giant hammer, with its brutal force, burst open the stone gate with a loud crash! A series of metallic collisions and some unknown objects crashing sounds kept coming out continuously! The soldiers searching in front of the golden pyramid were hit by scattered stones all over their heads, this one hammer blow made the golden pyramid pierced through! This golden pyramid's size may be the largest in later generations, its base length is probably more than 300 meters!
Looking at the stone gate that had been blasted open, Li Yuanba immediately walked in! Wang Ting and the others were also worried about going in, but the dark cave entrance emitted an even stronger energy that could only make them wait outside!
Li Yuanba followed the path swept by the big hammer, all the way to the center of the tower! The road was littered with various mechanisms and dark weapons, and the twisted walls were miserable. Especially that narrow corridor with curved twists and turns, the big hammer was rubbing against the two walls, and the murals on it were basically completely destroyed! Fortunately, the distribution of this golden pyramid is different from that of ordinary houses. The bottom is generally a passage or alleyway, and the internal space is all above. Below are just some secret rooms! Overall, the damage caused by the big hammer to the golden pyramid is not serious...
That giant hammer automatically attached itself to Li Yuanba's back, the un-droppable attribute of a divine weapon is no joke!
Li Yuanba walked up the inclined passageway, and along the way, he really encountered many obstacles, including hidden arrows, rolling rocks, knife mountains and fire seas, poisonous gases and other series of universally used mechanisms! The most technologically advanced one is probably the stone puppet, but to Li Yuanba, they are all invisible trash!
This golden pyramid has at least six hundred years of history. Li Yuanba picked up those metal dark arrows and took a look, the cold light was flashing and extremely sharp! There is a secret room inside, which was accidentally touched by Li Yuanba's mechanism. Inside, there are about 100 to 200 square meters, all of which are luxurious items such as gold, silver, and jewels. They looked dazzling, without any signs of time left behind.
About halfway up the pyramid, this is the pharaoh's real tomb! A coffin made entirely of gold, very large, Li Yuanba looks very small inside! Dozens of guards made of precious metals and many gods about half a meter tall are arranged around, the most striking being several metal carvings around the coffin, as big as real people, which were cast by the pharaoh's most loyal guards pouring molten metal! The painful expression shows that it was made from living people, making one's hair stand on end!
Li Yuanba is searching everywhere, where did that escaped dog run to? Li Yuanba arrived here and faintly sensed that power, but after searching around, he couldn't find it!
"Damn it! It should be here somewhere! How can't I find it?!" Li Yuanba sat helplessly on the golden coffin, scanning around with his eyes while muttering to himself.
"Returning empty-handed? How are we supposed to find this thing?" Li Yuanba lay down on top of the coffin in disappointment.
There are many vivid murals on the tomb, with a particularly striking one being over 30 meters long, featuring numerous mythological figures and monsters surrounded by countless vengeful spirits.
"Upstairs?" Li Yuanba got up and was about to take a look upstairs. He sat up, kicked his legs, and arrived at the rooftop.
"Haha, so that's where you were!" Li Yuanba finally found out where the cunning dog was hiding! It was on top of Pharaoh's coffin lid!
There is an engraving of a standing dog-headed human figure!
At this time, those statues also moved!
"Trespassers in the ancestral tomb, disturbers of the dead's peace, use your life to appease the great one's anger!" A low, hoarse voice like a whisper from the dead echoed across the language barrier within the tomb...
