In the movie, Hamna Tower is just a background wall, and a few passages represent everything.
But when Wu Ming entered this place, he realized that the grandeur and splendor of this place cannot be summed up in just a few passages and corridors.
"Fluorescent sparkle!" Several fluorescent magic balls surrounded Wu Ming, lighting up the surroundings like will-o'-the-wisps.
Wu Ming looked around with interest. There were many ancient Egyptian murals here. On them, there were records of how to make mummies and how to punish intruders who entered Hamna Tower.
In the ancient Egyptian era, Hamna Tower, the city of the dead, was a holy place for worshiping Hanubis, the god of death. Anyone who broke into this place would be cruelly mummified, with murals left as warnings.
It's a pity that time has changed, and today's Hamna Tower has long since become dilapidated.
There are even cracks on many walls, making people worried that if one mistake is made, the place will completely collapse.
"Look, what I found!" When walking around a corner, Wu Ming suddenly stopped.
In this corner, there are many depression marks on the wall, and there are blue gems on them, which are shining under the fluorescence.
Of course, Wu Ming is not an ordinary person and will not be deceived by appearances.
These blue gems look colorful, but in fact they are all disguises of a killing creature, the man-eating scarab.
"Anyone who disturbs the rest of the dead will be dragged into hell!"
Looking at the warning slogans on the wall, Wu Ming tilted his head and thought for a moment, then slowly stretched out his fingers and tapped lightly on these dormant scarabs.
Click...
The scarab's blue stone shell began to shatter under Wu Ming's fingers. As the cracks appeared, the entire Hamna Tower shook slightly, as if a mechanism had been triggered.
The next second, the stone carapaces of the scarabs disguised as sapphires began to crack rapidly.
Accompanied by dense buzzing sounds, the black scarab under blue camouflage trembled and began to revive, letting out a sharp cheer.
This is an ancient curse, a resurrected scarab that will kill all intruders.
Wu Ming watched this scene quietly, with a smile on his face, and strode towards the depths of the passage.
...boom...
Before Wu Ming had gone far, an overwhelming sound came from behind.
Two black waves composed of scarabs swept towards the two directions of the passage, sweeping in like a tide.
Hearing the sound coming from behind, Wu Ming raised his hand and cast a blasting spell without even thinking about it.
A powerful blasting spell hit the passage behind him, and with a violent collapse sound, the hole behind Wu Ming was quickly buried.
With the cave entrance being buried, the scarabs had no way to go, leaving part of the excavation passage, and the rest rushed towards the exit of the cave.
This result is exactly what Wu Ming wanted.
No matter who outside wants to come in, these scarabs will become a roadblock. And taking advantage of this time, Wu Ming can find out the locations of the Golden Book of the Sun and the Bible of the Dead.
Time is very tight. Wu Ming doesn't know how much time these scarabs can buy him, so he has to step up his pace.
Going down layer by layer, Wu Ming, who didn’t know the exact location, could only follow the mural.
These murals are like road signs. Wu Ming will not go to the passages without murals, but will quickly pass through the passages with murals.
In this way, ten minutes later, Wu Ming reached the end of the mural and entered a wider hall.
In this hall, there are many pharaoh statues on both sides, and at the end of the many statues is a golden statue of the god.
"The main god of Egypt, the statue of the Sun God!" Seeing this statue, Wu Ming's eyes showed a fiery look.
In the Hamna Tower, the Bible of the Dead and the Golden Book of the Sun are placed next to the two statues.
Among them, the Bible of the Dead belongs to the God of Death and is together with Immorton's coffin. The Golden Book of the Sun is placed in the hands of the Sun God, which is the hand of the statue in front of him.
"Praise you, the great Sun God!" Facing the statue of the Sun God, even though Wu Ming was an unbeliever, he still uttered a voice of praise.
After all, this is a world of legends of gods and ghosts, and there are gods behind it. Even if these gods have never appeared in person, the repeated descriptions in the movie also prove that this world is unusual.
Wu Ming doesn't have much affection for gods, but in the face of absolute power, he believes that he needs to maintain a certain degree of humility before he has the ability to talk on an equal footing.
Lowering his head humbly, Wu Ming respectfully stretched out his hands and took the Golden Book of the Sun from the hands of the statue.
As soon as he got the Golden Book of the Sun, Wu Ming felt a hint of admiration in the eyes of the statue.
This is a very weird feeling, so strong that it is impossible to ignore.
Wu Ming didn't know whether it was his respect that got the Sun God's approval or protecting the Golden Book of the Sun that got the other's approval. However, he could understand that at this moment, there really was a being in the dark, just like that.
Look at yourself with admiration.
"Who is this person? Is he the sun god that the Egyptians believe in?" Wu Ming held the Golden Book of the Sun in his hands and couldn't help but think of this question.
It's a pity that the admiring glances only flashed by, lasting less than two seconds in total.
By the time Wu Ming couldn't help his curiosity and secretly looked at the statue in front of him, there was nothing strange about the statue anymore, as if nothing had ever happened.
Seeing that the statue returned to normal, Wu Ming shook his head regretfully, hugged the Golden Book of the Sun, and left the hall where the statue was.
The next moment, just as he walked out of the hall, the sound of fighting came to his ears.
When he heard the sound of fighting, Wu Ming frowned slightly and felt a little more worried.
You must know that the scarabs' powerful fighting power is only for ordinary people. Outside, whether it is the white team or the hometown team, there must be countless ways to deal with these scarabs, and it is hard to say how long they can be blocked.
"I need more time to find the Bible of the Dead. I remember in the movie, there are countless mummy guards in Hamna Tower. These guards only accept two orders, one is the password of the high priest, and the other is
The seed comes from the Golden Book of the Sun!" Wu Ming thought of this and looked down at the Golden Book of the Sun in his hand.
The Sun Gold Book is entirely made of gold. There is an eight-pointed star mark on the cover. It is tightly closed and cannot be opened without a key.
It just so happens that Wu Ming is the one who holds the key. The key is nothing else but the black box containing the map of Hamna Tower.
Take out the box, compare it with the eight-pointed star in the Golden Book of the Sun, and slowly turn it to the right.
With a rubbing sound, the Golden Sun Book slowly opened, revealing the contents of the first page.
"Follow the will of the gods. As the holder of the book, I order you, and the tomb guards will obey!" As the words on the book were read out, secret doors were opened in countless passages in an instant.
From these opened secret doors, with the sound of neat footsteps, mummy warriors wearing armor and holding weapons walked out.
In just half a minute, the mummy warriors formed four phalanxes in front of Wu Ming's eyes, like soldiers undergoing review.
Seeing this scene, Wu Ming showed a smile on his face, pointed to the passage where the sound of fighting came from, and said: "I order you to stop the invaders at all costs and buy more time for me!"
...shua...
The mummy guards in the four square formations bowed their heads slightly towards Wu Ming, then waved their weapons and rushed out as Wu Ming watched.
