Chapter 77: Casualties of Dogs and Ants

  Egypt has ended the rule of the Pharaohs. When Li Yuanba set foot on this mysterious land, Egypt already belonged to the Arab state!

  Li Yuanba's words made Wang Ting curiously ask: "Have you been here before? What is this place?"

  "How did I end up here! I was just casually expressing my feelings." Li Yuanba said perfunctorily. However, Li Yuanba still had some expectations in his heart, if he could see how the golden pyramid was built, it would be great! But when they walked in, Li Yuanba was destined to be disappointed!

  Egypt has just ended more than 600 years of Roman rule, and the technique of building pyramids has long been forgotten in some corner!

  But the golden pyramid of this world has never been opened by invaders or tomb robbers, that mysterious door! Due to the fact that many Egyptian mythological figures are grave guardians, the pyramids here have a mystical power.

  The Pharaohs' rule of over 4,000 years has made the wealth inside each pyramid as abundant as a mountain, and it can be said that every pyramid is a mountain of gold!

  Li Yuanba regretted not traveling back in time to the previous millennium, so he could witness the construction of the Great Pyramid and take a look at Alexander, the legendary founder of the Roman Empire.

  When the tens of thousands of Tang army appeared in people's eyes, it was as if they saw demons coming out of hell! Li Yuanba had no love for other ethnic groups in this world, and plundering wealth was accompanied by slaughter! Since most of this place is desert, each pyramid was built in what was then an oasis, which also formed a residential area centered on the pyramids! Every pyramid in Egypt that has been conquered is considered their own treasure by these Arabs, so if Tang wants to rob the pyramids, they must be their mortal enemies!

  This golden pyramid is Li Yuanba's must-win, so the killing around the golden pyramid cannot be avoided! Can't avoid it, just start killing, Li Yuanba really didn't think that the people here are not what kind of good guys!

  The people here have developed strong bodies and superhuman endurance due to the harsh geographical environment. Many soldiers in this Tang army are suffering from water and soil incompatibility, if not for that omnipotent true energy protecting their bodies, at least half of these tens of thousands of people would be crippled! Now there are less than 10,000 people who can fight, but this is no problem for Li Yuanba, I am invincible wherever I go!

  The first gathering place of the golden pyramid didn't have many people, only about 800,000. The kind of spiritual power they exerted together, similar to mythical magic, gave the new recruits of the Tang Dynasty a ruthless blow!

  Having witnessed Li Yuanba's indiscriminate slaughter, the remaining 60,000 or so people gathered together, using their collective spiritual energy to stir up a thousand-mile desert storm! It was as if the entire ground was being stirred up by a mysterious force centered on the golden pyramid! The yellow sand broke through the protective true energy that only legendary initial or innate peak possessors had, continuously pouring into their bodies! More than half of the 9,000+ combatants were forever buried in the yellow sand! Even Li Yuanba didn't dare to launch an attack recklessly because he couldn't see three feet around him! As a result, the Tang army's combat strength was reduced by more than 90%, with heavy casualties!

  If such an attack didn't last long, it would be a blessing if the entire army of one thousand men hadn't been annihilated! The three-minute storm had the effect of making those who were protecting their homes muster up their exhausted spirits and shout loudly! Sometimes man-made disasters are more terrifying than natural ones because they have strong targeting capabilities. Although their power is weaker than nature, the effect is more in line with human intentions!

  But such an effect also brought them a terrible consequence of no one surviving, even spreading to every land that the Tang army had passed through! The Tang army, after counting the number of people still alive, made Li Yuanba feel that he had been insulted as never before! This was his most disastrous defeat in battle, with a total of 20,000 casualties, half of which were lost at once. And this was just the first expedition, thinking that with these troops they could circle the globe...

  "It seems that this time, the troops will have to change. From now on, all of you will be in charge of logistics, and only I will be responsible for the killings! You've also seen it, don't say anything else! This is an order! Otherwise, I'll send someone to escort you back!" Li Yuanba immediately interrupted his woman's dissent. Myth? After all, he's not a god! In this world, everything is fair, even in the high-end of the Tang Dynasty, one can be surrounded and killed, and it's the same elsewhere! As long as they leave Li Yuanba's side, the danger of death will not disappear!

  The pain of two life-and-death separations is a lesson, Li Yuanba will absolutely not allow such a thing to happen again!

  "The great army will retreat to our garrison, wait for my news!" Li Yuanba ordered his woman to command the great army to retreat to those battered garrisons due to the unaccustomed climate and water, he wanted to sweep away all dangers alone!

  Those native people who thought they had defeated the evil demon army were excitedly discussing whether to pursue and annihilate this unknown racial army when Li Yuanba appeared!

  "Hmph, I really underestimated you guys! But I won't make the same mistake twice!" Li Yuanba muttered to himself, and with that, his twin hammers appeared out of thin air. With a single stride, he arrived in the midst of the crowd sitting on the ground, intermittently using his unparalleled technique to efficiently slaughter these exhausted natives!

  Under the threat of despair, the remaining half of the people who were slaughtered by Li Yuanba united recklessly and transmitted their spiritual power and vitality to a statue inside the golden pyramid in a strange way!

  The people here believe in the heavenly gods, and the pyramids have a combination of the pharaoh's spirit and his entombed subjects and guards. It is randomly attached to one of the statues inside. There are many objects that can amplify spiritual power and preserve it. This spiritual body is invisible and colorless, always maintaining internal safety. But once a large amount of spiritual power is poured in from the outside, it will be absorbed, forming an image of the heavenly god worshipped by most outsiders, relentlessly pursuing the lives within a hundred miles.

  Li Yuanba was stunned by the scene of these people sacrificing themselves! When Li Yuanba killed a native who had no reaction, he kicked him with one foot, but it seemed like kicking in the air. The person suddenly turned into a cluster of scattered black dust floating in the air! This gaseous human ash seemed to be guided by something and floated towards the top of the central golden pyramid!

  "What's going on?" Li Yuanba stopped his killing spree in incredulity and stood still, looking around!

  The remaining tens of thousands of people seem to be suspended in a dead silent space, a gust of wind breaks the stillness here, and all the standing natives are blown away by the wind, turning into dust drifting towards the top of the tower!

  When all human dust converges at the top of that golden pyramid, a power creeps from within the pyramid into the dust!

  This power is very strange, just like a person standing in the center of an empty and spacious hall, although there are walls all around, but one feels as if being stared at by countless people from all sides, giving a feeling of spiritual oppression!

  This is the feeling of those stationed in Datang Army, more than 80 miles away from the Golden Pyramid! Everyone's spirit was obscured, except for Wang Ting and a few others who seemed to be confronting something with their eyes closed, concentrating the power of heaven and earth within a hundred feet around them!

  Li Yuanba was looking around, and suddenly his eyes focused on the top of that huge golden pyramid!

  "A dog? How strange! How did it climb up?" Li Yuanba looked as if he had seen God!

  Li Yuanba's eyes were incredibly sharp, and he could see the small black dot on top of the distant tower clearly! It was a mountain dog surrounded by a halo of black smoke, with erect ears and a pointed snout that looked just like a German Shepherd. But it was its body covered in tight, black fur that gave people a soul-sucking, terrifying feeling!

  This black mountain dog was only about half a meter high, and Li Yuanba was very curious how this dog climbed up that giant golden pyramid! The human ash dust was not within Li Yuanba's attention range, so he didn't notice where the faint black smoke dust around him went.

  Li Yuanba's gaze was fixed on the mountain dog with its eyes tightly closed, when suddenly the dog opened its black eyes and stared at Li Yuanba, giving him a fright. It was too sudden!

  "Whoa! Scared by a dog! Luckily no one saw, I've decided to eat dog meat today!" Li Yuanba's face turned red with rage and embarrassment, "Treading the sky!" With a loud shout, his figure flashed and rushed straight towards the golden pagoda!

  That one-eyed mountain dog was also floating towards Li Yuanba when he moved!

  "A flying dog?!" Li Yuanba's attention was diverted for a moment, and he fell to the ground! Without paying attention, he shook off the bloody sand grains on his feet, and saw that the dog had also fallen in front of him three zhang away!

  "What kind of dog is this? The legendary flying dog?" Li Yuanba scratched his head, looked around, and felt very uncomfortable in his heart! This vast land of China also has the legend of the heavenly dog, but it's just that he had never seen one before! The appearance of this legendary dog breed in this remote and desolate place, isn't this proof that all the boasts about the greatness of this land are just self-proclaimed? It seems that when it comes to bragging, China has never lacked talent!"

  The mountain dog's body slowly enlarged, suddenly jumping to a height of three zhang! This is the prototype of Anubis in the myths here! It was substantiated by these magical objects and the spiritual power of all people!

  Anubis; the god of death, with the appearance of a jackal or a man with the head of a jackal. He is also the guardian of cemeteries. The son of Set and Nephthys, creator of mummies. He guides the souls of the dead to the place of judgment and supervises the judgment so that the dead do not die again.

  "Submit to the judgment of Anubis, guardian deity of the necropolis, mortal!" A spiritual wave transmitted into Li Yuanba's mind!

  Huh? A talking dog? Great! Li Yuanba immediately wanted to catch the dog and study it carefully, too lazy to speak, he flashed and grabbed at the giant dog!

  "Huh? Phantom!" Li Yuanba's thoughts as he passed through the black dog. Having seen that legendary eight-trigram giant snake, Li Yuanba knew that... in this world... there were no myths!

  "No matter what you are, I'll catch you!" Li Yuanba's stubborn temper also came up!

  "Show me your true form!" Li Yuanba released his true energy, utilizing some of the unique aspects of his peerless technique to combine the game-like shadow that could strike down the unparalleled under heaven with a mythical-level mastery of the power of heaven and earth!

  A gigantic figure of over ten zhangs looked down at the dog with disdain, like a true king of gods.
