Chapter 243 5.35 Massacre at the Fire Rally (1)
At midnight, the "Fire Transmission Shrine" in the cave of Wind's End Castle was brightly lit.
The "Fire Transmission Gang" wearing various masks entered in succession under the leadership of the Fire Transmission Sacrifice "Fish in the Abyss". Gures did not pretend to be mysterious. As early as the crematorium outside Wind's End Castle, he had seen the Anubis army under Nefertiti.
The Anubis warriors were the strongest troops under the Pharaoh. They were designed by Anubis, the god of the Styx, to fight against the undead creatures of other foreign gods.
The combat power formed by the 7 Anubis warriors was not something that this group of fragile mortals could fight against.
Not to mention that the female Pharaoh also produced several mummies that could be transformed into quicksand at any time. In the Scandinavian Peninsula, Shang Gonggong, a Tang Dynasty sword cultivator in the foundation-building period, can be regarded as the top combat power.
However, when he faced Nefertiti, he didn't even scream and died in the darkness.
All the people who entered the venue today, one by one, no one could escape from the encirclement of the seven Anubis warriors.
This is a fact that has been set in stone.
**
Gures's prediction was correct.
When the fire priest "Fish in the Abyss" led the fire-transmitting gang into the venue, Nefertiti had already hidden on the top of the dragon's skull. In this closed space that can only be illuminated by firelight, no one can find her trace.
At the same time, the seven Anubis warriors had already hidden in the shadows at the entrances of the fire-transmitting sacrifice site.
These powerful undead creatures do not need to eat or breathe. They themselves are also slender and all black. Therefore, it is extremely difficult for mortals to find them when they escape into the darkness. In order to increase the tolerance rate, the female pharaoh also released all the mummies that had been made.
Although the mummies are much weaker than the Anubis warriors in terms of combat ability, this thing is far superior to all the undead creatures in the world in terms of concealment ability.
At this time, the mummy has been transformed into strands of fine sand, floating on the ground and air of the city sewer.
If it weren't for the strong perception of undead creatures, no one would notice that the dust floating in the sky could actually form a walking corpse.
Sitting in the fire-transmitting sacrificial field, it has been surrounded by the female pharaoh.

"Mr. Flame Herald, why are all the gang members here today?"
The fire-transmitting sacrificial priest "Yu Zhongyu" asked first. With the camouflage function evolved by the lizardmen in human society for tens of thousands of years, he did not see that the "Eunuch Shang" in front of him was any different from the last time they met.
"The task I issued today may very likely affect your lives!"
Gu Leisi said as he pushed a cart behind him. There were more than 20 heavy money bags densely placed on the cart, among which were the gold coins that "Eunuch Shang" promised to give to all of them in the last round of tasks.
"Yu Zhongyu" frowned slightly and felt a little uncomfortable.
This slight incongruity comes from the character of "Eunuch Shang".
Among the Fire Priests, all members of the Fire Gang need to wear masks. In the case of not being able to see other people's facial expressions clearly, "Yu Zhongyu" can only judge his style of behavior through his behavior.
In the Zoroastrianism, "Fire Priests" are similar to the head of the church. Every Fire Priest is a top-notch fighter who has fought out of thousands of troops. "Yu Zhongyu" can get to this position, and he is also a person who is very good at observing words and expressions. In the last gathering, when he first saw Eunuch Shang, he was followed by several servants.
Whether it was taking out the "herald scroll" of "Archbishop Susa" or taking out the gold coins needed to perform his private tasks, this person always asked the servants around him to solve it for him.
A person who even wanted to reach out to the servants to help him take out the thin scroll actually appeared alone with a cart of gold coins.
No matter what his true identity is, he will be seen by the flying wing guards patrolling the city!
How did he get from the city to the basement?
Seeing the members of the Fire Transmission Gang around him walk to the carriage and reach out to grab the gold coins, "Yuan Zhongyu" immediately shouted "Wait!"
He quickly walked to the side of Eunuch Shang and stopped the members of the Fire Transmission Gang from wanting to get the gold coins.
Because he found a more serious problem.
The old gravedigger who accepted the "private mission" of the Herald last time did not seem to attend the Fire Transmission Gathering today!
Through long-term observation, "Yuan Zhongyu" is familiar with all the members of the Fire Transmission Gang under his command. The main purpose of the old gravedigger to attend the gathering is to receive some tasks to inquire about gossip and earn some extra money. He has no habit of being absent!
"Herald, it's not that I'm abrupt, but before issuing gold coins, should we first pay the level reward promised to Auntie 'Lampshade'?"
Through the mask, "Yuan Zhongyu" waited for a pair of clear eyes and looked at the Herald in front of him.
Although this was definitely an act of insubordination in terms of rank, he had to take the risk now.
Because he sensed too many suspicious points from the person in front of him.
In the Fire Sacrifice Field, the most direct way to identify whether a person is real or fake is to see if he can grant power to other gang members. All "heralds" in the "Fire Worship Cult" should have this ability.
He stared at his eyes, trying to detect a trace of panic in his eyes.
However, the one standing in front of him at this moment was indeed Gu Leisi, who had lived for 3,000 years. For 3,000 years, he had been lurking in the human world. As long as it was not a matter that endangered his life, he would not feel a bit of panic.
"Since the Lord of the Fire Priest has spoken"
"Okay, come on!"
The washerwoman who successfully stole the "Imperial Seal" from the interior of the Wind's End Castle walked out of the array very excitedly and stood in front of Gu Leisi. She was nearly 50 years old, and she didn't expect that at this age she could actually upgrade from Sequence 9 to Sequence
She chose the "Ember" path that most mortals would choose.
The only divine power of the Chosen One under the Embers Path is immortality.
"The Fish in the Abyss" commanded all the members of the Fire Transmission Gang to hold hands and surround the city in a big circle. This is a ritual that the members of the Fire Transmission Cult need to complete spontaneously when they increase their strength.
However, today, this ordinary ritual has another meaning.
If the "herald" in front of him was not the one he saw last time, but someone else disguised himself as one of his subordinates and surrounded him with more than 20 people, 5 meters would be the best attack distance.
Even if he was a Tang Dynasty sword cultivator, there was no way he could escape when surrounded by more than 20 God's Chosen at such a close distance.
