Chapter 79 Devouring Khufu, the "Girl" Apas
Bai Jue looked down at Khufu, who was surrounded by stars. He sensed that the light of the underworld had weakened to a certain extent, so he stepped forward, pointed his finger to the sky, and uttered a Buddhist prophecy: "I am the only one who reigns supreme in heaven and on earth."

The ancient law says: When the opposite sex enters the same, the same sex is also destroyed, which is called the stage of leaving defilement.

The so-called leaving defilement is to devour it with the same method and expel it with the other method!
Khufu was horrified to find that in this dimension, there was no longer a trace of dark light, and there were no other magical elements. It was like a forbidden realm where no trace of magic had ever existed...

In this absolutely empty dimensional world, 'Bai Jue' launched his final killing move. The surging death energy rolled and permeated in the dimension, swallowing up Khufu's figure like a tsunami. The black giant tower passed through the tsunami and suppressed Khufu at the bottom of the dimension. Countless stars flashed, dividing its body and soul fire!
Khufu struggled helplessly. The power of death was useless to these poisonous insects. Magic could not be performed without elements. The self-destructive mental collision could not shake Bai Jue's spirit. The power of the dimension was firmly clamped. All he could rely on was the body that was about to be eaten away...

In this life, its success or failure is due to Minghui.

……

The mountain corpse shook the pyramid with one punch after another. Death energy clung to the pyramid, and the dark light on it was about to go out...

At this time, a vortex that swallowed the earth appeared in the thick deathly clouds in the sky of the underworld. The inside of the vortex seemed to be a void and chaotic second dimension world. There, two figures were fighting. One of them held a giant tower to suppress them. There was no telling how many magic spells were intertwined. The other figure had no power to resist at all!
"Boom!"

With a loud bang, a shocking crack suddenly appeared in the sky...

These cracks look so abrupt that people can't help but question that the world they touch and see is just a mirror. Otherwise, why would there be such cracks all over the sky?

The dimensional vortex at the highest point was getting smaller and smaller. The battle seemed to be leaving the empty chaotic dimension and slowly extending to this real plane. However, the overly huge energy made the real plane unable to bear the weight and was about to collapse and break...

"boom!"

A huge tower fell from the sky, and all the scorpion people and harpy witches were wiped out wherever it was suppressed, as if they had never existed in this world!

The vortex dissipated, revealing the figure of "Bai Jue". The deathly aura completely overshadowed the dark brilliance of this world. Khufu's body and soul had been destroyed and merged into one with the "star". From now on, the underworld has a new master!

"The spirit of the mother of Medusa..." After checking the spoils, Bai Jue nodded secretly. Because the explosion rate of the spirit was too low, Bai Jue finally spent his energy to use "Star" to completely devour Khufu. Otherwise it would be a waste. The spirit of the Asian Emperor was an unexpected surprise.

Sha Yuan is like a large undead vessel on the battlefield. All residual souls and essences will be absorbed by it. In addition to the essence of the Asian Emperor, there are also more than a dozen monarch-level essences, and as for the commanders, they are countless!

Then he swept his eyes across the battlefield and saw the petrified undead followers. Those who fought for him would certainly not be treated unfairly, but he would talk about rewarding them later. The most important thing now was to rescue them first.

A giant one-eyed pupil appeared behind Bai Jue, and a vortex of clouds appeared around the pupil. After the pupil bulged slightly, thousands of feet of green eye light shot down, forming an inverted cone, covering the petrified undead.

Under the azure light, one can see the fragments of statues scattered on the ground floating up again, and the spreading petrified shadows gradually shrinking. The dead kings and their legions are so clear under the illumination of this azure light!
The next moment, the petrified undead in Jiuzhou returned to the state before Medusa's gaze, and even the Lord of the Underworld who was smashed into pieces came back to life!

Everything is perfect, so the next step is to completely annex Khufu's legacy!

...............

For some reason, the attacks on the Pyramid of Khafre disappeared in recent days, the red evening glow did not cause any noise, the panic of fleeing in Cairo quickly dissipated, and the city returned to its original order.

The urban area is relatively safe, all the shops that should be open are still open, and those who are open-minded can continue to enjoy the prosperity and comfort of the city.

Bai Jue walked on the street, smelling the aroma of delicious food, tasting the local specialties, and listening to the conversations of local people. This feeling of hiding in the city was quite novel. Who would have thought that the scourge of undead spirits that had plagued the local area for thousands of years was solved by him?

However, it was too early for the citizens of Cairo to be happy. The undead are the undead. Their nature is murderous and bloodthirsty. They are also the natural enemies of the living. In this respect, there is no difference between the undead in Kyushu and the undead in Egypt.

Under the rule of the ancient king, the undead can obey orders and do not actively hunt the living, but there will always be some money-grubbing magicians who occupy the graves of the undead, trying to make money from them... Then it can't be Bai Jue's fault, he can't do anything about it if they commit suicide on their own.

This is not a joke. There are many such mages in the ancient capital who are optimistic and opportunistic, and their end is always a tragic death without exception.

The undead are Bai Jue’s current subjects, and the living are Bai Jue’s future subjects. As a ruler, Bai Jue is already very partial to the living, and he hopes that everyone can be more sensible in the future.

"..." Bai Jue thought about it for a while and then suppressed the idea in his heart. This idea was not wrong, but it was too early to imagine the future now. At least he had to break through the forbidden spell or the ancient king had to become the Hades.

Arrogance is unacceptable at any time.

Whether it is "Xing" digesting Khufu or "Bai Jue" digesting Khufu's legacy, it will take a long time. The Guofu team is still in training, so what should they do next...

By the way, Mother Medusa and her two daughters are all dead, leaving only Apas. By controlling her, we can control the Banshee Empire in Africa and Europe!

Even if you can't find Apas, at least you can complete the bounty pool of Medusa's Tears. Just think of it as a vacation and enjoy the desert landscape of Egypt.

Medusa's Tears are the antidote to the curse of the Eye of Vengeance, and the curse of the Eye of Vengeance is a death sentence for most mages. It is divided into many types, some are fatal curses, some are shadow curses, and some are violent curses.

The deadly curse comes the fastest. No matter where a person is, those omnipresent deadly snakes will eat the cursed person while he or she is sleeping.

The shadow curse is a curse similar to horror and hallucination. The person who is cursed will have an abnormal fear of snakes. The fear will last for a long time and will torture the person's spirit little by little.

The violent curse will make a person's body abnormally attract snakes. Even if they are ten kilometers away, the snakes will follow the scent of the curse and attack madly until the person is dead!

Most of the snake eye curses were released by the Medusa bloodline, and the giant snake mothers on the snake mountains near the Cairo battlefield have recently acquired this ability, which also shows one thing: Apas has come to this land.

However, Medusa's tears can make one immune to petrification, reduce freezing, and strengthen the mind. Many magicians love them very much and pay a lot of money to get them...

Bai Jue thought of the group of Medusas he had captured, and an industrial chain gradually emerged in his mind.

……

After hiring a camel and buying a map, Bai Jue slowly set out on the journey to find Apas. When traveling in the desert, a camel is indispensable, otherwise the scorpion monsters will chase him endlessly. Although he is not afraid of these monsters and has even killed their ancestors, it is not good to be disturbed by mosquitoes when enjoying the scenery.

Baige Land is the vast land in Cairo facing the Pyramid of Khufu, with a total length of more than 100 kilometers. This section of the road has always been regarded as a battlefield between humans and the undead of Egypt. It has not stopped for thousands of years. .

The undead will never wither on the land of Baige. The reason is very simple. As wars continue to occur here, there will continue to be deaths. When death occurs, the undead will be born. This is an unbreakable cycle in Egypt!
But now everything of Khufu has been taken by Bai Jue, and whether to start this cycle is just a matter of thought for him.

About seventy kilometers away from the Pyramid of Khufu, there is a long slope. This long slope, like a compass needle, marks the time when the underworld light shines... From now on, it should be able to distinguish between thick and thin death energy.

According to legend, every time the sun sets, if people stand at the edge of the Sunset Slope and look up along the slope, they will find that the light of the setting sun is spread in a perfect straight line across the Sunset Slope, giving people a feeling that there is a gorgeous ocean and golden earth ahead.

Bai Jue waited here on a camel, and the scene was as magnificent as the rumors said. Every scene recorded by the camera could be used as a wallpaper... Maybe after defeating the Kuomintang, he should go traveling. Who knows how many beautiful sights are waiting for him in the world!

Unfortunately, this magnificent natural scene has always brought endless anxiety and fear to the people of Cairo, because once the sunset falls in this way, the dark light of the pyramid will be sprinkled on the entire Baige land, like a bloody battle flag of the Undead Empire...

The underworld follows the rules of the sun, moon and stars. The long slope of the setting sun leading to the blood-red sunset also changes with the year and month. However, generally there will be an exceptionally long underworld shine at least once every five years. This time This is the biggest battle between Cairo City and the undead!
They were afraid of the undead war and naturally had no intention of appreciating the beautiful scenery.

There is nothing wrong with the dark light. Everything depends on how the controller uses it. It's a pity that this beautiful scenery will disappear soon... However, if the residents here are allowed to choose, as long as there is no undead war, it doesn't matter whether there is a beautiful scenery or not!
But there will never be a lack of wars in this land. For example, now, the Pyramid of Khafre has stopped attacking, but the two great Egyptian demon races, scorpions and snakes, are still advancing one after another. This is inevitable.

In a very clever position on the sunset slope, there is an ancient ruins temple.

A long time ago, the Egyptians, like the Kyushu people in the Huangshui River Basin, worshipped the power of totems. They relied on some special life to survive. At that time, the Temple of Sunset was the largest palace in Egypt used to worship the gods they symbolized.

Then the age of the Pharaohs came. The Pharaohs overthrew the ancient god system and founded the magical civilization of Egypt. However, they became undead after death and still did not give up control of this golden land.

The Sunset Temple has existed for a long time. It is huge and magnificent, but also extremely dilapidated. No one has set foot there for a long time. Many hunters died inexplicably before they even got close to the Sunset Temple area. Bai Jue knew that it was the effect of the Burning Evil Eye. Bai Jue took a special camera to record what he saw and heard. At this moment, in the afterglow of the setting sun, following the slope of the long slope, you can see a perfect blood-red sunset. It feels like walking along this long slope and reaching the end will lead to the sun!

The Sunset Temple is located exactly where the setting sun is. From a distance, it looks like the Sun Temple standing in the sun. The building and the scenery are in perfect harmony, which is enough to make Bai Jue happy.

The closer they got to the Sunset Temple, the more demons patrolled around. Those silver snake fighters were covered in silver scales, and from a distance they looked like armored warriors riding snakes. These silver snake fighters rarely appeared on the battlefields where humans were invaded, but their presence meant the presence of Medusa, and they were the most loyal guards of Medusa.

Bai Jue walked past the Silver Snake Fighters in a swagger, but they seemed to be unable to see him and continued patrolling along their original route. The black silhouette of the Sunset Temple gradually came into his sight under the moonlight.

The entire Sunset Temple ruins are very large, with a total of about thirty ancient temples of various sizes, each of which has a very large courtyard and outpost tower.

The ruins of the Sunset Temple have indeed withstood the wind and frost of the years. After thousands of years of vicissitudes, most of the ruins are only a layer of mounds, and even only a few stones as evidence, but the skeleton of the Sunset Temple seems to still be there. , and it is much larger than imagined.

When they were scattered across the land in a certain pattern, the Sunset Temple felt like a dilapidated ancient city, with broken and collapsed beams and pillars, more than half of the ancient hall exposed, and an altar that was almost completely covered by weeds and vegetation...

“Ruin, withering, decay, vitality, and the traces of time… What a great material for photography!” Now Bai Jue finally understood why so many people liked photography in his previous life. This feeling made people happy and intoxicated.

This reminded him of the past, the expressions of the people when demons attacked the city, the Cangcheng under the setting sun, the fight between people and blood beasts in the mountain trap, the dark clouds covering the city when the ancient capital was ravaged... There were too many things that he could not record, but it is not too late to start now, and the scenery in the future will be even more exciting!
On the dark mud tower in the distance, an evil eye object similar to an evil eye bronze mirror was embedded in the mud tower. The light emitted from its eyeballs was hidden in the moonlight. When people looked up at the moon, they felt that the moon was a terrible green color that could cause skin ulcers!

However, Bai Jue took off the Burning Evil Eye easily. This thing could be considered a good collection. Instead of leaving it here and being taken away by others later, it would be better for him to take it now. It would be better for him to get a good deal than to let others get a good deal.

As for the Si Ye Blood Bat guarding here, the ball of blood next to it is that. Even though it has been warned, it still comes up to die. This shows that having a bad temper is not a good thing.

"What a coincidence, it's running towards me?" Bai Jue listened attentively, a little surprised. With his current mental strength, the detection range of the sound system is enough to cover most of the Sunset Slope. It can be said that the movements of most of the monsters here are within his perception, and those girl-sized creatures are the focus of attention.

Now there was a "girl" approaching his location, and finally stopped in a stone hall not far away. According to Bai Jue's previous route, this was most likely the place he was going to pass by...

If this "girl" is Apas, then is she going to play him?

Bai Jue thought for a moment, then took out Euryale's Eye of Deception and hung it next to the soul-repairing jade pendant. He held the demon-slaying tool made from Trissina's tail spike in his hand, and around his neck hung the undead vessel pendant that contained the essence of Medusa's mother, "inadvertently" revealing a little breath.

This will be a test, Bai Jue doesn't believe that she can continue acting like this!
Bai Jue walked towards the stone hall where the "girl" was hiding, passing through several dilapidated ancient halls along the way. Under the altar covered with vegetation nearby, there was the fallen hair of the girl Medusa, but he did not pay any attention to it. His goal was very clear!

Apas quietly poked his head out from the corner of the stone hall. He was able to burn the evil eye, so he must be quite powerful. He hoped that he could use him to sneak into the human world and avoid disaster...

The moonlight fell from the top of the slope like a veil, completely covering the corner. From Bai Jue's perspective, he could just spot a pair of beautiful but confused eyes!

"Who are you? Come out!" Bai Jue had a serious expression and pointed the Scorpion King Sword in his hand at the corner. Although it was a bit of black humor, this matter was indeed very interesting!
There is no family affection between the parties involved, so there is no offense.

Apas was about to lose control of her expression. What was wrong with this human? She was quite familiar with her two "respected" sisters and that terrifying mother...

Swallowing her saliva, Apas had to bite the bullet and continue acting. Reason told her that these things could not appear in the hands of a high-level wizard, but her aura told her that these were all real. She didn't dare to bet whether it was true or not!

"Brother, are you a bad person?"

The voice was crisp and timid, and the emotions contained in it were not disguised at all, they were all sincere!

"Whether you are a good guy or a bad guy depends on your identity. I will not kill an innocent human being, nor will I let an evil demon go." Bai Jue originally wanted to find a character, but finally decided to play himself.

"I... I am a human..." The girl moved her body and slowly leaned out from the corner. The moonlight fell on her bright and smooth skin, which was as beautiful as a piece of exquisite white jade.

She slowly raised her head in the moonlight curtain, with strands of thin vine hair falling down, her face was breathtakingly beautiful, and then her pair of extremely bright eyes were looking at Bai Jue pitifully...

The sound is like silver bells blown by the wind in a bamboo forest, so comfortable that it makes people feel a little pity.

It's amazing that she can still have such acting skills even in this situation. If Bai Jue didn't know the original novel, she might have been fooled. After all, her appearance is so good that it will naturally make people let down their guard.

The girl didn't dare to come out completely. Her clothes were rags, and although her skin was very smooth, some places did look dirty. She was shivering slightly and looked a little cold. The collarbone under her white neck was very obvious and attractive, and her fragility made people feel distressed.

"If you are a human, then why are you here?" Bai Jue was not shaken at all, and just looked at her coldly.

"Big brother, I was captured. Medusa likes to eat girls' hearts. A girl from my village has been eaten by her. I should be the next one..." the girl said in a trembling voice.

Before she finished her words, the Scorpion King thrust his sword straight at her face. The sudden wind pressure lifted her hair, which touched the blade and caused a few strands of hair to fall off.

The girl opened her mouth tremblingly, as if she was frightened. Tears flowed uncontrollably, and she looked like she wanted to cry out loud but didn't dare to make a sound.

The Scorpion King didn't avoid the stab but instead took advantage of the situation to perform. His mental quality is unparalleled. You are awesome!
Bai Jue was convinced this time and didn't plan to continue oppressing her, so he put the things away.

"I temporarily believe that you are a human. What's your name?" Bai Jue threw a piece of clothing to her and asked her to put it on first, as it was indecent to leave her lower body naked.

"...Apas." The girl sobbed and took a long time to say her name.

As Apas put on her clothes, Bai Jue saw a small puddle of water under her feet...

Is this still a pretense? So dedicated? Bai Jue thought, could it be that the Scorpion King's stabbing speed was too fast just now, and she, a great monarch-level Medusa, couldn't react in time?

"It's a good name. Do you know where Medusa is located here?"

"It went to drink water, at the lake not far away..." said Apas.

Bai Jue nodded and disappeared into the stone hall, leaving Apas, who was about to say something, completely stunned. Why didn't this guy play by the rules?
The next moment, Bai Jue came back carrying the unconscious girl Medusa, which made Apas' pupils shrink suddenly. She knew her maid's strength very well. To be able to capture her alive in an instant, this strength meant that she was at least that of a monarch!

As we all know, demons are generally stronger than humans. This person is not a simple person. The magic tools on him...

"You are lucky. My target happened to be the young Medusa. You are saved." Bai Jue said. His target was indeed the young Medusa, but not the unconscious one in his hand.

"Tell me about your experience, such as where you are from and how you were captured and used as food..."

"I am from the island of Karagana. I grow some herbs for them there. I sell them to Egypt and Greece. The island owner doesn't want people from our island to leave. I want to become a magician so much that I go against her wishes..."

"A group of people came into our village. They said they were wizards and would teach us magic, so they took away several of our talented people. It turned out that they were a group of liars. They kept this little Medusa, and every time she transformed once a week, one of us would die..."

As Apas narrated these contents in a low voice, Bai Jue's eyes fluctuated slightly. Although these things were fabricated by her, he knew that similar things must have happened... After all, stories come from life!
There is nothing wrong with demons eating humans, it is nothing more than the food chain and the law of the jungle. But when humans give humans to demons to eat, this crime is unforgivable!

Bai Jue doesn't care about the difficulties and survival issues. No power? Can't stop the demons? Live for more people?

Ha ha!
