Infinite Horror: The Strongest Zhongzhou Team

Li Xiao grabbed with one hand, but before he could exert any strength, his hand turned into stone dust.

Abbreviated as slag.

As the golden light disappeared, what fell was not only the dust on the ground, but also the originally bright smile on Jonathan's face.

This person seemed to have his soul sucked out, and he lay down limply.

To be frank, compared to O'Connor and Evelyn.

Jonathan's goal from the beginning to the end was the pyramid made of gold, and then the big diamond.

Now it turns out that half of my hope in life is gone.

From the beginning to the end it was all a trick of Anubis, the god of death.

"Don't worry, brother. You will get the gold. If Anubis doesn't give it to you, we will!"

“Give more!”

Li Xiao walked over and patted Jonathan's trembling shoulders kindly.

Hearing this, he jumped up and immediately adjusted his expression and said with a smile:

"Why are we talking about this? What's mine is yours, and what's yours is mine, isn't it?"

"Just some gold, silver, and jewelry."

Seeing this extremely shameless scene, Saito Ichi and the others murmured in low voices.

"Although we already know Jonathan's identity."

"But I have to admire this person's strong psychological endurance."

"Yes, thick-skinned and quick to react."

Having arrived at the final destination, the Zhongzhou team is not in a hurry. After all, a day or two won't matter.

"Oh, did we forget something?"

"Where's Immorton?"

"Where did they go?"

Qi Tengyi finished speaking doubtfully.

Everyone then remembered that something seemed to be missing.

Zhu Wen looked at Zhan Lan and the others.

Zhan Lan looked at Zhu Wen and the others.

“You haven’t met?”*2
Both sides asked at the same time.

Then both sides shook their heads.

Li Xiao, who was sitting at the entrance of the pyramid, rubbed his scalp.

"Well, now it seems that apart from the pyramid behind them, Imhotep and the others have nowhere to go."

"Where's Zheng Zha?"

"Still unconscious?"

Zhan Lan looked at the existence on his back and shook his head.

Li Xiao sighed helplessly.

"Everyone, make final preparations."

"Anubis's army is no cuter than those monkeys."

Li Xiao said this and everyone nodded seriously.

Chen Zilong, Zhao Yingkong, Xiao Honglu, Zhang Heng, Cheng Xiao, and Li Xiao all seized the last moment to adjust themselves.

Even O'Connor forced himself to calm down and circulate the pitiful amount of internal energy in his body.

Zhan Lan, Zhu Wen, Jonathan, Evelyn, and Adebei all sorted out their weapons, then closed their eyes and took a rest every second.

Because everyone knows that once they enter the pyramid, they can no longer decide whether to stop or not.

Two hours later.

Li Xiao and his group stood in front of the dark passage and walked forward together.

Compared to the dazzling golden light outside.

The light inside the pyramid became much dimmer.

Perhaps it was because there was no sunlight but only torches, so the surrounding gold bricks stood out particularly.

As for how the torch came about, it lit up automatically when Eric, wearing the Death Bracelet, stepped onto the stairs.

It's like an artificial intelligence welcoming its owner home.

Seeing this scene, Cheng Xiao and others all gave a thumbs up.

All I can say is that no matter the past or the future, it is indeed a cycle.

Because isn’t this a sci-fi version of whole-house intelligence?

Inside the pyramid, the sound of people’s footsteps echoed in the deep passage.

On both sides of the spacious passage are golden sculptures with wolf heads and human bodies.

These sculptures have different poses and scenes.

At this time, Chen Zilong, who was at the end of the team, looked at the mural beside him and asked curiously:

"By the way, Evelyn, why did you just say that Anubis is a jackal, different from an ordinary wolf?"

Evelyn in front answered immediately:

"In ancient Egyptian mythology, Anubis, the god of death, is not very high in terms of power and status."

"But what's interesting is, haven't you noticed that among these mythological gods, Anubis's reputation is still spreading."

"It even became a representative figure in Egyptian mythology."

"As for why Anubis has a jackal head, we have to talk about his parents."

"One of them is none other than Osiris, the god of the desert, and the jackal is one of the creatures of the desert."

"You can understand it as, when the desert god gave birth to a child, he was in the form of a jackal."

"Ahem, let's get back to the point. The biggest difference between a jackal and a wolf is that it is a scavenger."

"In ancient times, jackals were creatures that lived in cemeteries and battlefields."

"Because it needs to eat the bodies that are exposed."

"So this is why Anubis is willing to lend the Scorpion King's army of death to start the war."

"Of course I added the last sentence myself."

"Osiris? Wait, have we been to a temple of Osiris before?"

"Isn't Osiris Anubis's lackey?"

"What's the relationship between these two?"

Evelyn shook her head: "All we archaeologists know are the biographies left behind by the victors. We can only rely on guesswork to find out what twists and turns there are."

"I really want to say it's a coincidence, but my brain tells me it can't be that simple."

Compared to the academic discussion here, Jonathan next to him knew it was fake.

But after watching it so many times, I couldn't help but drool.

"You said, it would be great if these were made of real gold. I have never dreamed of a place full of gold like this."

Jonathan wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth and said enviously as he looked at the "real" magnificent space.

As Jonathan chattered, everyone stepped into a door inside the pyramid, and then there was a click.

Eric felt his wrist lighten.

The bracelet that I couldn't take off at all opened automatically.

In front of everyone's eyes, it fell directly onto the golden ground.

"Oh, what a pity, Eric, let your uncle keep it for you..."

Before he could finish his words, the originally hard golden ground became like a swamp, and the bracelet sank and disappeared from everyone's sight.

Li Xiao knew with his butt that this thing might have returned to its owner.

In fact, Li Xiao or Zhao Yingkong’s reactions were enough to stop it, and it wouldn’t even fall to the ground.

But apart from the gold bracelet that was just untied.

At the same time, something strange happened on both sides of the gate inside the pyramid, which attracted their attention.

There were two ordinary golden mirrors on the left and right inside the gate.

Of course, this is nothing.

The key point is the accompanying physical changes and the sudden prompt sound in the mind.

[The Scorpion King has resurrected. All personnel entering the pyramid will be deprived of enhanced attributes and skills, and are prohibited from using magical legendary items.

At the same time, the Death Army will awaken from underground in Amshe Oasis until the Scorpion King is killed by the challenger...】

When the voice in your head ends.

Everyone on the Zhongzhou team, including O'Connor, felt their bodies suddenly sink, as if something had disappeared from their bodies. The strange feeling made their whole bodies feel particularly awkward or uncomfortable.

It was like a grown man suddenly turned into a child. The loss of strength and the change in body shape made it difficult for people to react.

Not only that.

As the Death Bracelet completely disappeared, the golden mirror shook.

All the people who were originally standing together suddenly lined up in a row the next moment.

Standing horizontally on a row of golden halls.

Even Zhan Lan, who was originally carrying Zheng Zha on her back, was no exception and was forcibly separated.

What is incredible is that.

The hall they saw when they came in just now was obviously not that big, at least it was impossible for more than a dozen of them to stand side by side.

And there is a distance of two or three meters between each person.

But changes continue.

After he stood firm, he didn't even have time to speak.

Li Xiao discovered that the ground under his feet began to emit golden light.

Then the sound that had just disappeared sounded again.

[Start random selection of challengers... Selection completed, challenge begins! ]

Zhongzhou team: Zhang Jie, Zheng Zha, Li Xiao, Zhan Lan, Zhao Yingkong, Saito Yi, Xiao Honglu, Chen Zilong, Zhu Wen, Cheng Xiao, a total of ten people.

There are five characters in the story: Evelyn, O'Connor, Jonathan, Eric, and Adeb.

Logically speaking, there should be fifteen golden rays of light.

But now it seems that there are a total of seventeen rays of light in the golden hall.

Jonathan, who was at the edge, looked at the sudden appearance of Imhotep and Ansuna on both sides, his face almost turned green with fright.

Fortunately, Jonathan soon discovered that the golden tiles under his feet moved.

He actually took him forward.

But he didn't have time to rejoice.

I saw a big black scorpion carved on the mural opposite the hall suddenly come to life, grabbing Imhotep and Ansuna and disappeared.

There were four people left who were pushed out together. Besides himself, Jonathan also saw his brother-in-law O'Connor, Li Xiao and Zheng Zha.

Li Xiao looked around him.

Although he was prepared, he still felt a sense of pressure when he saw this scene.

Because obviously, as a challenger, the reward is the legendary treasure of the Scorpion King and the ultimate return.

And the punishment is naturally the life of the teammate.

But the changes inside the pyramid are far from over.

Or maybe there is someone who simply doesn't want to give them time to discuss and think.

The four selected challengers were led to the front half of the hall by the golden-glowing tiles.

A dark tunnel sloping downwards appeared in front of the four people.

And the second half.

Everyone saw that the golden ground in front of them began to roll out black sand, and huge beings with dog heads and human bodies, with strong bodies and hunched backs, gathered from it.

They were about three meters tall, all dark, holding my huge curved scimitar in their hands.

His face was expressionless, and his eyes shone with a cold light as he looked at Xiao Honglu and the others who were not selected.

These exist one by one.

Who else could it be if not Anubis’s army of the dead?

However, the speed at which these legions of death gathered was too fast, and in a short while the entire pyramid was filled with them.

This is the case inside, let alone outside the pyramid!

Li Xiao looked at the changes behind him with a serious expression, although he had known about it for a long time.

In the end, there is a high probability that he will challenge the Scorpion King as an ordinary person, just like in the original novel.

But what Li Xiao didn't expect was.

The Death Army that was supposed to appear 50 kilometers outside the pyramid in the original plot was actually stuffed into the pyramid by the Lord God? ?
If this was their undefeated period, there would naturally be no problem.

But now he has lost his bloodline and inner strength, and his skills and magical legendary items are useless.

All we can say is that those present are a little stronger than ordinary people, but that is limited.

Fortunately, the future technology weapons were not destroyed.

Moreover, Li Xiao just tried it and found that the space bag can still be used.

This has to be the best news right now.

However, despite this, facing an immortal being that was nearly three meters tall, with a wolf head and a human body.

Li Xiao also didn't think that the people present could hold on for too long.

Even though they had a variety of powerful long-range weapons to fight against these undead legions.

But now, with such a huge disparity in numbers, Li Xiao has already imagined the scene of Xiao Honglu and the others being trampled into meat paste.

That's when.

In the second half, Zhan Lan, who had seen the situation clearly, had already pulled out two thick pistols and started shooting at the werewolf who was standing there and howling.

The successive gunshots startled everyone back to their senses.

Evelyn and the others drew out their spears from their backs and began to aim.

Xiao Honglu groped for the barrier between them and the four others.

Quickly said:
"Li Xiao, go quickly. Time is running out. We have a limited time to survive the siege of the Death Army."

“It’s up to you!”

Through the barrier, O'Connor looked at Evelyn and Eric who was in his arms.

He pounded the barrier angrily.

He turned around and ran towards the passage even more determined than Li Xiao.

Because, they just received a hint, a hint from Anubis, the god of death.

That is to kill the Scorpion King, and the Death Army will disappear.

Everyone outside the barrier will survive.

Jonathan wanted to say something else, but O'Connor grabbed him and ran in.

Li Xiaoze carried Zheng Zha, who had not yet woken up, on his back and followed quickly.

While running, Li Xiao was thinking about all the items, props, and skills that he and Zheng Zha could use?
Vulcan cannon?
Aircraft guns?

Without the attribute enhancement of internal force, his strength and physical fitness have now returned to that of an ordinary person.

Do not!
Not an ordinary person!

This speed...

Li Xiao, carrying Zheng Zha on his back, ran and caught up with O'Connor and Jonathan easily.

And he doesn’t seem tired yet?
Thinking of this, Li Xiao's heart moved, his eyes became blank, and he directly unlocked the first section of the gene lock.

The body, which originally felt a little heavy, now felt more relaxed.

And this is only the first stage of gene lock.

Li Xiao could feel that as long as he wanted, he could enter the second stage of muscle strengthening at any time.

This state should be able to withstand the recoil of the Gatling Vulcan cannon.

Now it is certain that the Lord God has merely deprived him of the special energy in his body and the skills he possessed.

However, the genetic lock and the physical fitness of the individual did not disappear.

Just as everyone was running down led by the flames.

Li Xiao suddenly felt that the person behind him seemed to wake up.

There was a slight movement behind him, and a figure flipped over and jumped next to O'Connor.

After landing, Zheng Zha unlocked the genetic lock in his body without hesitation and continued to the third stage.

Entered Chu Xuan mode.

Li Xiao only saw Zheng Zha with indifferent eyes exhaling, and then he ran to catch up.

This also made Li Xiao feel much more at ease.

Although the situation is not optimistic, he still said with a smile:

"Finally woke up, you slept for a long time, didn't you?"

Zheng Zha ran while looking at the reminder on the Lord God's watch. (End of this chapter)
