When a familiar figure appeared in front of her, Tuvia's hanging heart finally relaxed!!
Horus sat on the camel, his eyes always staring at the woman who was getting closer and closer, exuding great anger. When they walked in, they noticed the extra man in black next to her.
"What? You still think we didn't encounter many situations along the way? We actually rescued this person."
Tuvia's breathing was a little rapid. After she stabilized, she glanced at the man in black next to her.
"You can leave. If you still want to take our lives, I'm afraid you don't have the ability now."
The man in black gave Tuvia a deep look, "Now that almost all of my men have been destroyed, my life and death no longer matter, so you can leave. I will never block your way."
"That's naturally the best."
Seeing that the damn woman in front of him was still alive and kicking, Horus felt much more relaxed.
"Alas! Let me tell you, brother, who sent you to assassinate us? Your master really put in a lot of effort. Such a group of people came after them quietly but they all died in the hands of mummies, haha
, is this called God’s will?”
The man in black was silent for a while.
He looked at Tuvia, "You saved me today, so my life belongs to you, but as a killer, you must not reveal the identity of your employer after accepting this deal."
Horus curled his lips. He had always scorned such dead rules set by people, but Tuvia's face looked very calm.
"Forget it, I can guess who it is even if you don't tell me. Let's get out of here quickly. The mummies behind us may catch up at any time."
Horus chuckled, "Not just the ones at the back, they should be everywhere around here."
His words made their hearts tighten.
"You should just follow us. Since I saved your life, I won't allow you to fall into the hands of those dead bodies again."
The man in black's eyes were full of gratitude. He knelt down suddenly on the ground. "You saved Herta's life, and Herta will be your loyal guard from now on."
Tuvia didn't expect that he would kneel in front of her so hard, looking a little stunned.
"Herta? Is this your name? You have to know that you are kneeling in front of the target you are chasing."
"Yes. Herta's life has already passed away with those dead brothers just now. Now Herta is your loyal guard."
"Tsk tsk! Who dares to ask a killer like you to be a bodyguard? I say Tuvia, if you keep him, your life must be ready to move at any time."
Giving him a blank look, Tuvia looked at Hertha and said, "You are a professional killer who makes enemies everywhere. If I accept you, there will be constant troubles coming to your door."
"Herta knows what the princess is thinking. Being a killer is mostly to make a living. Now that all the brothers are dead, Herta is disheartened and has changed her name since then. It will never interfere with your life."
Seeing that Herta speaks to the point, she really needs a few people who are loyal to her and will have someone to take care of her along the way.
But can he really be trusted?
"You get up first. The situation here is very dangerous. Let's go out first."
"yes."
Tuvia took a look around and saw that the terrain here was very strange. The orientation of the sand dunes and the flat land was very regular. Most of the sand dunes faced east and the flat land faced west.
This kind of terrain is mentioned in the "Burial Sutra" and is an excellent "corpse-raising place", which can also be said to be a "dog head hole".
"What are you looking at?" Horus stared at her curiously.
Tuvia withdrew her gaze and said, "Horus, you just said that there are those kinds of things everywhere here? What did you see?"
Horus smiled strangely, which looked very eerie in such a dark twilight. Tuvia gave him a cold look, and he stopped teasing him.
"The corpses just now should have been hidden under the sand during the day. In other words, there is probably a mummy lying under our feet now."
His words made the other two people unconsciously feel hairs on their backs. This had nothing to do with timidity, it was just an instinctive reaction of the body.
Tuvia has always had a strong mysophobia, and after hearing Horus' words, her stomach was churning and she felt very sick.
"Forget it, you don't have to say anything, let's leave here as soon as possible. Herta, you hold the camel, and I'll walk in front."
"Yes, princess."
Horus was sitting on a camel. Now he was seriously injured and it was difficult to walk. Now that the only camel was left, it was natural for him to sit on it.
Herta stepped forward and held the camel's rope and walked forward.
Tuvia was silent for a long time, but she was thinking secretly in her heart.
Corpse hiding places were not uncommon in ancient China. "Corpse raising grounds" are the most terrifying, dangerous and taboo cemeteries in funeral feng shui.
After a body is mistakenly buried in a "corpse raising ground", not only will the human muscles and internal organs not decay, but the hair, teeth, nails, etc. will continue to grow.
The corpse absorbs the essence of the heaven, earth, mountains and rivers due to the light of the sun and the moon, and some body functions are restored to life. Just like the dead soul comes to life, it will transform into a zombie, wandering around and sucking the blood of people for a living.
These contents are all recorded in Qingwuzi's "Burial Book", Guo Pu's "Burial Book", and Guan Ren's "Geographical Guide to Meng".
However, the appearance of mummies on such a large scale is almost never seen before, unless this desert is an excellent base for collecting the essence of the sun and moon to raise mummies in captivity.
It was still more than three hours before dawn, and they didn't know what kind of dangers were waiting for them along the way.
The three of them were speechless all the way. Horus glanced at Herta from time to time. In his heart, he still did not believe this killer who was chasing them all the way.
Herta always wore a black cloth scarf on her face, and the only moment she fell outside shone like a sparkling stone.
Tuvia, who was walking in front, suddenly stretched out his hand to stop them. "Stop."
Horus followed her gaze, a cold light flashing in his eyes.
At this time, countless small swirls suddenly appeared on the sand, and the broken sand on the surface continued to rotate with those swirls and flowed into the depths.
The sand here seems to be alive, constantly rising and falling on the ground.
The three of them stepped back quickly, their eyes not daring to relax as they looked at the unexpected situation in front of them.
"Damn it, they're coming out." Horus shouted.
"Turn back and avoid this place."
As soon as the three of them turned around, they were all shocked when they saw the scene on the back. They saw that the road they had just walked also had countless small spiral nests, which were constantly trembling.
And they clearly felt that something began to slowly squirm under their feet.
The three of them stood close together, with weapons in their hands as a precaution.
"bump------"
Several loud noises came from the sand, and soon after, a foreign object was crawling upwards from the sand. The first thing that was exposed was a pair of black hands covered with long hair.
Hundreds of hands appeared in front of the three people, swaying back and forth like plants growing on the ground, making people feel chilled.
"Attack them directly on the head later, that is their Achilles' heel." Tuvia calmly ordered, and the three of them followed suit and were fully mentally prepared for the battle that was about to begin!!
