Chapter Ten: Praying Mantis Catch Cicada and Oriole Behind
() "Is this the pyramid from the bounty mission?"
In the afternoon, Diana and Ezreal arrived at their destination. The pyramid in front of them could only be described as shabby.
The pyramid is about twenty to thirty meters high. It seems to have been built a long time ago. The surface of the pyramid is covered with traces of wind and rain, and the pits on the tower seem to express its history.
Indeed, there is no place more suitable for haunting than this pyramid. The dilapidated building embodies the vicissitudes and charm of history, and the dark entrance has a strange atmosphere. If it is late at night, this pyramid is a natural haunted house.
Fifty meters to the west of the pyramid, you can see a medium-sized mine, which should be Norfton's mine. However, because the pyramid is haunted, no one dares to work, and the entire mine is deserted.
"Let's go in."
Diana put away the map, carried her Crescent Blade and walked towards the pyramid. Ezreal lifted his foot and wanted to follow behind, but Xiaobai at his feet screamed twice and bit Ezreal.
Riel's trousers.
"What's wrong? Xiaobai, are you scared?"
Xiaobai kept circling around Ezreal and made a crisp cry, as if he wanted to prevent Ezreal from entering the pyramid.
Diana, who was walking, looked back at Ezreal. Ezreal looked at Xiaobai lovingly, picked him up and comforted him softly: "Don't be afraid, Xiaobai, it's okay."
After saying that, he followed Diana in small steps.
Stepping into the pyramid, the entrance is a dark tunnel more than ten meters long. The first half of the tunnel has sunlight shining in, and you can still see the appearance of the four walls of the tunnel. However, the farther you go in, the darker it becomes. When you reach the end of the tunnel, it is pitch black.
It's so thin that I can't even see my fingers.
I don’t know what kind of magic Diana used, but a soft light suddenly appeared all over her body, like the gentle veil of the bright moon, filling the entire interior of the pyramid. Ezreal was also able to see clearly the furnishings inside the pyramid.
.
Now, the place Ezreal Diana is in is an empty room without too many furnishings. A solitary wooden coffin is placed in the corner. It is obvious that this seems to be a tomb.
Vicissitudes of life, silence, and dilapidated coffins. The entire pyramid gives people a strange and quiet feeling, making it impossible to stay calm.
"Ouch~!" Xiaobai in Ezreal's arms suddenly screamed three times in a row. The clear and compact voice seemed to have a hint of warning and reminder. In this weird atmosphere, Ezreal was attracted by Xiaobai.
The sudden cry startled me.
He caressed Xiaobai's head, lowered his head and whispered in its ear: "Be quiet, little guy. If you piss off that crazy woman, she will stew you and eat you."
I don’t know if Xiaobai really understood what Ezreal said. When Ezreal said this, Xiaobai immediately calmed down and huddled in Ezreal’s arms like a good baby. If Ezreal
If you pay attention, you will find that Xiaobai's narrow black eyes are full of vigilance...
............
............
The moonlight emitted from Diana's body lit up the entire tomb, and the old coffin placed in the corner caught Diana's attention.
She was very talented and brave, and she didn't know what fear was, so she walked straight towards the coffin.
Ezreal followed behind. It was impossible to say that he was not afraid. Human beings are always instinctively afraid of unknown things. However, remembering that there was a master like Diana beside him, Ezreal gradually adapted to this strange situation.
In the atmosphere, he followed closely behind Diana and approached the coffin.
The dilapidated coffin was covered with thick dust, and it must have some history.
Diana walked to the coffin, stretched out her hand, and wanted to lift the lid of the coffin to see what was inside.
As soon as she exerted her strength, she found that the coffin lid was heavier than she thought. Diana frowned coldly and suddenly increased the strength of her hand by a level before lifting the coffin open.
"Ahem..."
The raised dust choked Ezreal and he coughed a few times. He swung the dust away from his eyes and cast his gaze towards the coffin. At this sight, he froze in place.
I saw a short mummy lying quietly in the coffin!
Each body part of the mummy is still well preserved, and it is less than one meter tall. It is most likely made from the corpse of a child. The body of this mummy has not been dried, and all parts of the body are still full, which is somewhat similar to the mummy in his image.
The difference is that the bandage on it is dark green.
Ezreal stood in front of the coffin. For some reason, although the mummy's eyes were closed, Ezreal felt in his heart that the mummy would open its eyes at any time. This strange feeling made him a little depressed.
"Diana, did you find anything?"
Ezreal asked softly, now that the pyramid has been found, what they have to do is to investigate the truth about the haunting of the pyramid.
Diana's eyes were fixed on the mummy, as if there was an invisible light shining on the corpse. It took her a long time to come to the conclusion: "This is a dead corpse, there is nothing special about it."
Diana just used insight magic on the mummy and found no traces of life on the mummy. She frowned slightly. She was very confident in her insight magic. There was nothing wrong with the mummy in front of her, so there was another culprit.
others.
Ezreal said: "Why don't we hide here tonight and see what ghosts are in this pyramid."
Diana didn't object and looked up at him: "Are you not afraid anymore?"
"Afraid? Of course I am. You have to protect me well. I am your deputy leader of Dark Moon. I hope to be popular with you in the future." Ezreal said with a smile.
"Huh." Diana snorted softly. Seeing the smile on his lips, and the knife-shaped face with an indescribable smell under the weak light, Diana was stunned for a moment. For a moment, she didn't know whether he was afraid or not.
Not afraid...
Ezreal and Diana searched the pyramid and found that there was an auxiliary room on the right side of the tomb chamber. There was no extra decoration in the auxiliary room and it was empty. Ezreal and Diana walked into the auxiliary room and planned to wait here.
, let’s see what mysteries are in this pyramid.
Diana found a clean corner and sat down. Ezreal held Xiaobai and sat next to her. The light on Diana's body had faded a lot, and could only barely reflect the outline of the surroundings. Ezreal was stunned.
Looking at her, her white skin is as pure as crystal, her big talking eyes seem to be able to hold the entire starry sky, her beautiful melon face is unsmiling, and there is a cold and stunning temperament, as if all the beauty in the world
All the elements were crushed onto Diana's pretty face.
Looking at Diana, who was emitting a faint light, Ezreal had the illusion that she was like the Moon Goddess, the Moon Goddess, who had descended into the world.
Seeing Ezreal staring at him in a daze, he couldn't help but glared at him fiercely. Only then did Ezreal come back to his senses and laughed twice.
"By the way, I suddenly had an idea."
"What's the idea?"
"Is it possible that it was the work of Norfton's business rivals or enemies?"
Diana understood immediately after hearing this: "You are saying that someone deliberately pretended to be a ghost and spread rumors so that Norfton's mine would no longer be able to operate normally. Over time, Norfton will definitely sell the mine. At that time...
…”
"Yes, that's what it means."
Diana thought for a while and felt that it was very possible. In fact, all conspiracies in the world revolve around interests. As long as the kink of this interest can be found, the conspiracy is not far away from being revealed...
Time passed slowly as Ezreal and Diana chatted. Unconsciously, it became dark.
Ezreal leaned against the wall and teased the little one in his arms with his fingers. The little guy was very cute. He kept rubbing his head against Ezreal's hand and made cute purring sounds.
It looked so cute that even Diana couldn't help but look at it a few more times and said softly: "What a cute little guy."
Suddenly, Diana's soft eyes suddenly flickered, and she immediately made a hissing gesture to Ezreal: "Someone is coming!"
Ezreal immediately stopped teasing Xiaobai, and the entire pyramid suddenly became silent.
Not long after, the sound of tiptoeing footsteps came from the pyramid entrance corridor, as if they were deliberately concealed. But Ezreal and Diana heard it softly, and they looked at each other. Today's wait was indeed worth it!
Diana raised her Crescent Blade and leaned against the corner, ready to take action at any time. Ezreal also held a long bow and stood behind Diana, with the arrow already on the bow string. The sensible Xiaobai leaned against Eze
At the hem of Riel's trousers, his breathing seemed to slow down for half a beat.
The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and Diana made a gesture to Ezreal, something to the effect of: I'll go out and catch them, you wait for me here.
Ezreal was about to nod when he saw a metal object the size of a palm suddenly rolled over from the entrance and bounced down to Diana's feet.
Ezreal looked down and was immediately frightened. The metal object was all too familiar to him. It looked like a melon grenade!
"Lie down!"
Ezreal flew towards Diana, and a hungry tiger threw Diana to the ground. He heard a loud "bang" and a roar in his ears, as if the original sound had been lost between heaven and earth.
…
The moment the grenade exploded, a violent magical energy slanted out. Diana, who was unprepared, was exposed to this magical energy and fainted instantly. Also fainted was Xiao Bai who was hiding next to Zhao Ezreal. However,
The moment this violent magical energy touched Ezreal's body, it seemed to be pulled by an invisible force and rushed toward the pendant around his neck.
For a moment, the pendant around Ezreal's neck emitted a faint light, and a wave of magic spread out from the center of the pendant to all directions. At the same time, the dry fingers of the mummy in the coffin in the tomb trembled suddenly, as if there was something.
Something bad is going to happen...
Ezreal, who was suffering from tinnitus, didn't notice anything strange about the pendant. He shook his head desperately, propped himself up and tried to keep his consciousness awake.
"Hey, you're okay."
He gently pushed Diana in his arms, but found that Diana in his arms was unresponsive. He quickly looked down and saw that Diana's face was pale, her eyes were closed, and she seemed to have fainted.
Ezreal hurriedly looked at Diana's body, but found no wounds on her body. He checked Ziji's body again, and found no shrapnel piercing her body. Looking back, Xiaobai, who had a charming smile, fell on his back with his legs in the air.
On the ground, its wet nose was slightly wrinkled, its breathing was even, and it actually fainted.
Weird!
It stands to reason that when a grenade explodes, shrapnel splashes into the human body, causing fatal injuries. The grenade exploded under their feet, but there was no shrapnel found on their bodies. What's even more strange is that Ezreal completely protected Diana.
Next time, he should be the one injured, but now the situation is completely reversed. Ezreal is safe, but Diana and Xiaobai fainted. What on earth is going on?
Before Ezreal could figure it out, two men's voices came from the tomb.
"Haney, are you sure they are inside?"
The man named Hani replied: "Yes, I saw two of them walking into the pyramid this afternoon and did not come out at night. I think they are probably mercenaries hired by Novton to investigate the haunting of the pyramid."
"
The man snorted coldly: "Humph, I knew Novton wouldn't give up. The concussion grenades produced by Hex Technology are easy to use. No matter what experts Novton hires, we can deal with them!"
