This black-helmeted scarab guards the steps of the Pharaoh's tomb alone, showing its strength.
However, facing the kicking skills blessed by ‘leopard leaping like thunder’, it is still not enough.
It revealed a blue quality material card ‘Obsidian’.
The epee man opened his palm towards Jolina, showed the deep black gem, and said:
"Give it to you."
Jolina was slightly startled, and her beautiful red eyes flashed with shame and surprise: "Give it to me?"
"Well, the materials are 50/50, I'll give you this one first." Lin Xiao said casually, "I just want the legendary materials in the future."
Jolina: "..."
The shyness just now dissipated immediately, and she still took the obsidian solemnly. The red child flickered slightly and said seriously:
"Thank you...just keep going."
The interior of the pyramid is not dark, and in order to adjust the room temperature, there are many ventilation channels, which can effectively prevent the mummy from rotting.
Lin Xiao and Qiao Linna climbed up the stairs and smelled the indescribable smell of ointment... the kind of dizzying smell you would smell in a funeral hall during a funeral.
"The Shaluo people attach great importance to death and funerals."
Jolina looked around and said softly: "This can be seen from the gods they believe in... For example, Anubis, the god of death, is regarded as the god of mummy production and embalming."
"Also, there are always four clay pots placed next to the coffin of the deceased in Sharo, symbolizing the four sons of Horus. The pots contain the internal organs of the deceased."
Qiao Linna frowned slightly and whispered: "The Sharo people believe that placing the internal organs together with the mummy can resurrect the dead."
Lin Xiao felt something in her heart.
Unlike the "fate-theory" Nordic mythology, Egyptian mythology can be said to be a system that values "death" the most.
Similarly, in this world, the dragon of creation, the Lord of the Sun and the Underworld, controls life and death.
"How come you know so much about the Sharo myth?" Lin Xiao asked.
Qiao Linna's eyes were full of thought, she pondered for a long time, and revealed her thoughts:
"Compared with the bohemian god of Chaos who drinks and makes merry, the god of Ra gives me a sense of solemnity about life and death..."
"Lonicera attaches great importance to theology and mythology, so I took several related courses," she said with a shrug.
Lin Xiao nodded slightly.
Everyone in the card master world has dragon cancer, some believe in Nidhogg, and some pursue the candle dragon.
But when it comes to Lin Xiao’s favorite dragon species...
Golden dragon, it must be a golden dragon!
According to the logic of the Sharo people in building pyramids, the higher the tomb is and the closer it is to the sun, the higher the status of the owner of the tomb.
The two came to a tomb in the middle floor. The owner of the tomb should be the pharaoh's queen.
The tomb is magnificent, with walls inlaid with agates, gems, and alabaster statues, and the coffin is made purely of gold.
Lin Xiao swallowed his saliva, feeling that his 'power of greed' was about to move.
What? I haven't gained the power of greed yet?
Impossible, the devil must have blinded my eyes!
Qiao Linna rolled her eyes at Lin Xiao and said helplessly: "Tomb robbers will be cursed..."
Lin Xiao spoke righteously: "What I am doing is clearly called 'bringing cultural relics back to light'!"
Card!
The whole tomb seemed to be shaken, and fine lime seeped out from the stone bricks on the top.
Next to the golden coffin, an alabaster statue with a cat's head and body, about the height of a normal woman, turned towards the two of them.
The amber-like eyes of the cat's head suddenly burst out with a coquettish light!
Lin Xiao calmed down his expression and prepared for the attack.
This guy with a cat head and a human body...should be the gatekeeper of this tomb!
Generally speaking, a wave of SS should appear now, then fight it and pass the level smoothly.
But Lin Xiao waited for a long time, but before a wave of SS came, the light in the cat-headed statue's eyes gradually receded and turned back again!
Lin Xiao said blankly: "What is going on?"
Qiao Linna said: "I don't know, but it seems that she has no ill intentions towards us."
"I only know kobolds and stone men."
Lin Xiao said: "Cat-headed man, if this is placed in a pyramid, what's the point?"
Jolina crossed her arms, thought for a long time, and said hesitantly:
"In the myth of Sharo, there seems to be a cat goddess named 'Buster', who usually appears in the form of a black cat... She doesn't attack us, maybe because she is friendly to humans!"
Lin Xiao was slightly startled, feeling that the name sounded familiar.
Although the cat god ‘Bast’ is not the Egyptian Nine-Pillared God, his popularity among humans is far higher than that of the Nine-Pillared God!
Suddenly, the image of a girl caressing a kitten in a heavy rainstorm appeared in Lin Xiao's mind.
He understood somewhat why Buster let go.
If there really is a cat god in this world, and he is still watching over humans, he would not be surprised at all.
"Let's go." The man with the heavy sword turned around and said, "The stairs leading to the highest tomb are opened."
"As a result, this tomb yielded nothing."
Jolina kept up the pace and sighed: "Blessed by the Cat God, I hope the legendary card can be revealed in the last level."
"What's the use of worshiping the cat god? It's better to worship the cat god. He is the god of luck."
Lin Xiao summoned a baby seal.
"Humph." Qiao Linna pursed her lips and smiled, "If I can get a gold card, I will be responsible for the fish from Dafu's third year."
Dafu: "Oh! (??)"
The footsteps gradually faded away, and the queen's tomb became silent again.
At the top of the stone pillar, a black cat with shiny fur sat squatting, almost blending into the darkness.
The black cat wore a gold pendant around its neck, its green eyes watched the two people walking away, silently jumped down from the stone pillar, and followed them out of the tomb.
…
The two of them stepped into the tomb at the top of the pyramid, and a depressing atmosphere like a substance enveloped them.
Qiao Linna moved closer to Lin Xiao, stood beside his arm, and whispered: "This is the tomb of the Pharaoh."
"It's so scary." Lin Xiao said in a weird tone, "I'm really worried that Munayin will pop out..."
"Are you afraid of Mu Nayin?" Qiao Linna blinked at Hongtong.
"It's not that I'm afraid, I hate all scary elements, as well as spiders and other arthropods." The epee man said dullly.
Qiao Linna raised a big sister-like frank smile: "It's okay, if there is Minaoyin, I will handle it!"
At the top of the tomb, there are two coffins made of gold.
There is a grand and solemn mural behind the coffin.
The mural depicts a jackal with a human body holding a scale.
One end of the scale is a lifelike heart, and the other end is a feather.
The Jackal God is cold and impartial, balancing the weights. Humans who have lost their hearts tremble in front of her, and there is a ferocious beast staring at the burning hellfire.
The atmosphere was breathless, as if facing the pressure of the Jackal God and waiting for her judgment.
Lin Xiao looked at the mural and was stunned for a moment: "Is there really a kobold?"
Qiao Linna seemed to be aware of the crisis, and the red boy said sharply and sternly:
"It's Anubis, the god of death, and her heart weighs!"
Peng! Peng!
On the high platform, corresponding to the two ends of the mural scale, were two golden coffins, and the coffin boards suddenly popped open.
Lin Xiao pulled out the Meteor Star Sword with a clang. Qiao Linna also pulled out the Star Moon Night, and the red boy was awe-inspiring.
However.
No creature like Munayin crawled out of the coffin. Instead, there were two teleporting rays of light rising into the sky.
"The meaning seems to be..." Jolina frowned, "Let us lie down in the coffin separately, and then teleport to the next level..."
"Is there no other way to clear the level?"
Lin Xiao looked at the girl's stern look and said, "How about I try to chop down the pyramid?"
Qiao Linna shook her head, Hong Tongmingming said firmly:
"I thought, give this game mechanic a try... Even if you die, you will only be mentally injured."
The girl looked at the teleportation light: "But if I run away from the battle, I won't be able to sleep for a long time."
The epee man expressed his understanding. After all, a hero cannot escape from battle.
"It's a two-player challenge, or separate levels. I can't take you through the map. I can at most wait for you at the end... Take care of yourself." Lin Xiao said.
"Maybe I reach the finish line first?" Jolina smiled.
Her side face was serious and focused, she sheathed her sword, walked towards the golden coffin with her long and strong legs, her high ponytail swaying along with her.
Lin Xiao also walked towards the golden coffin, lowered his head to the teleportation array at the bottom of the coffin, and murmured in a strange mood:
"Putting the teleportation circle in the coffin... is really a bad idea of the designer!"
As he spoke, he jumped into the coffin, his body seemed to fall into endless darkness, and his consciousness felt a deep chill.
Sa!
The fire of judgment burns brightly.
Lin Xiao opened his eyes and saw a three-meter-tall jackal god standing in front of him, extremely solemn.
She has a jet black jackal head, a human body, wearing a yellow wrapper, holding a scepter, and exudes surging coercion.
Just a projection of Anubis's consciousness possesses terrifying power up to the seventh level!
Click, click, click
The sound of chains sounded, and a huge scale fell from the sky and landed in front of Lin Xiao.
Anubis looked at Lin Xiao indifferently, waved his staff with a bang, and said majestically:
"Heart weighing, the ceremony begins!"
…
－－－－－－Digression－－－－－
A little late...(o?▽?)o
The weighing of the heart of Anubis is an important part of Egyptian mythology. If the heart of the person being judged is contaminated with sin, it will be heavier than a feather, unable to enter the underworld, and the heart will be eaten by monsters.
The man with the heavy sword has committed a heinous crime!
