Chapter 168 Pilgrimage, Horus, Nephthys

Chapter 168 · Pilgrimage Road, Horus, Nephthys

——【Main quest correction——Complete the temple pilgrimage within seven days and arrive at the Anubis Pyramid. If successful, all members will participate in obtaining a B-level branch plot and 4,500 bonus points. If failed, the corresponding branch plot and bonus points will be deducted. 】

The test has arrived——just as the reincarnationists expected.

After returning and saying goodbye to Evelyn and her husband——Evelyn was not very willing, but her husband thought it was possible. The reincarnationists chose a hidden and wide place, and then under the gaze of all members, Zhao Yingkong took a 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.

So...

There was a light sound of "click". The golden bracelet closed.

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

Amshe Oasis, Anubis Black Pyramid.

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

"No... I locked the longitude and latitude, but there is only a desert there. It may be impossible to skip the previous steps and reach the end directly. We must complete the temple tour according to the plot and the Lord's task arrangement. 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 Imhotep and his group who completed the pilgrimage, while O'Connor was just tracking... and missing a section of the way. This may mean that as long as one person completes the temple pilgrimage, the Amshe Oasis will be open. Any living or dead thing will pass through it."

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

In the movie plot, the cult divided its forces after arriving at the Anubis Pyramid. Imhotep and Ansuna went to challenge the Scorpion King. The leader of the cult summoned the Anubis Army at the cost of one hand - the two are parallel and there is no conflict. In theory, as long as the reincarnation holding the bracelet does not touch the ritual platform of Anubis, he will only encounter one powerful enemy in the temple.

"But still be careful that the Scorpion King himself has the power to summon the Death Army." A very obvious variable. Since Anubis intends to release the Scorpion King, the Scorpion King that the reincarnationists have to face may be different from the one in the original plot.

Different - it is natural to be different. In the original movie, the temple tour is just an unimportant plot. It was just mentioned in passing, and there were no twists and turns. But in the Infinite Original, Zheng Zha, who returned from World 7, encountered tests when he arrived at several temples, and the content of the test was that the huge statues were activated, stood up, and then taught the reincarnationists how to face the giants.

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

"Chu Xuan," he turned his head, and his eyes projected a searching light. "What's the situation in England?"

"No sign of any ships setting sail." 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 reincarnationists - that was England, the entire terrain of England that was covered by clouds all year round. High-precision spy satellites in this era are completely beyond the dimensionality reduction of indigenous creatures. Except for some areas protected by mysterious forces, the reincarnationists can detect every move in the English area from a distance.

"The Fairy Knights have not returned yet. We are too fast, and they have done their best. And according to my calculations, even if they successfully return to London, they have to give priority to dealing with some internal affairs. Then they can take time to attack us - but this is normal, and I noticed something abnormal."

The projection quickly switched from England to North Africa. Several temples that needed to be visited were quickly clearly marked by Chu Xuan in the form of projection. And a small number of them are recorded relics, and a small number are lost temple ruins.

He emphasized one of the points.

"This temple is one of the temples we are about to arrive at. And through the architectural style observed by satellite view and some corresponding archaeological documents from the 21st century. I can basically confirm that this temple is another Set temple in North Africa outside of Egypt."

"Set." Jiang Yu lowered his eyes. "If the temple pilgrimage is part of the test. Then when we arrive at the Set Temple, the difficulty will definitely increase to the maximum limit. Perhaps, we will meet Anmanet 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, and 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... why can’t Set 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 can 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' pilgrimage was not a bumpy one.

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 escaping while visiting other temples if they were unable to defeat them. And since the last temple is the temple of Set. 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 resurrection 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 understanding at this moment - people 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 has given this level of protection to the reincarnationists, which naturally means that Set has also planned a small trick of the same standard. And as far as it can be seen, this "small trick" has not yet deviated from the category of "small".

Very good.

The glow of the statue dimmed. It became ordinary and dim. And in the minds of the reincarnationists, the stage notification of the main god also sounded.

——【Complete a pilgrimage point. Currently left...】

The visit to the first temple is over.

And soon, the reincarnationists went to the second place - Nephthys, the patron saint of the dead and the new. He is the sister of Osiris, the sister of Set, the wife of Set, and possibly the mother of Anubis.

His position is complicated, but he always chooses a camp and participates in it. And when the reincarnationists arrived at the temple of Nephthys. The huge statue with wings, a basketball hoop on its head, and long hair as decayed and pale as a shroud came to life in the tremor and stood up. The huge but slender scepter pointed directly at the reincarnationists.

The black wind blew up, and from the sea of ​​sand, hundreds, thousands, or even more spiritual mummies wrapped in yellow sand by shrouds were revived under the power of the god of the underworld. They let out sharp howls and rushed towards the reincarnationists from all directions!

They were just side dishes, they were not worth mentioning. The huge statue itself was a more terrifying war weapon than all of them combined. At the moment the scepter was swung, a fiery light lit up in the eyes of the statue!

Jiang Yu moved quickly - and very quickly. When the eyes of the statue lit up, his figure had already moved from the middle of the team to the front of the team. The body and armor completed resonance, and the huge tower shield deployed a fused shield in front!

‘Boom-! ! ’ The grand explosion and the huge impact.

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

His companions were behind him.

The defensive force field extending from the shield, under the interference of his will and biological force field, turned into a hemisphere that completely blocked the entire team. The blazing light beam projected from the eyes of the statue was deflected and became a surge of energy covering the outside of the hemisphere. The power of the foreign enemy thus became a cover, preventing the thousands of awakened spirit mummies from taking a step further towards the reincarnationists!

The light faded.

"Do it!"

I was discharged from the hospital in the evening. There is only one class today. I will resume two updates tomorrow.
