I'm the administrator of the National Fortune Arena at the start of the game; I'll hand it

The system notification sounded in the minds of every team member.

"It's a success!"

Chen Hu grinned widely, looking like a 200-pound child.

"Quick! Captain, check which anus this thing is for... oh no, which keyhole!"

Wang Yi ignored Chen Hu's nonsense. He took the key and glanced around the hall.

This magnificent central hall.

Aside from the road they came from and the three forks in the road where they had split up, all that remained was the huge mural depicting the life of the Pharaoh right in front of them.

"Could the entrance be behind this mural?" Zhang Wei wondered, stroking his chin.

Wang Yi thought so too.

He stepped forward and searched carefully on the huge mural, hoping to find something like a keyhole.

However, he touched almost the entire wall, and the mural was as smooth as a single boulder, without any gaps or grooves.

"That's strange, there's no keyhole."

Chen Hu also came over and tapped the wall with his fist, which was as big as a clay pot, making a dull "bang bang" sound.

"Captain, how about... I smash it open?"

"Don't do anything reckless!"

Wang Yi immediately stopped him.

The pyramid is shrouded in mystery; who knows what deadly traps might be triggered by violent destruction?

Just when everyone was at a loss, Academician Qin Ming's voice rang out again in the command center, carrying a hint of excitement from sudden realization.

"I understand! I understand! Hahaha, so that's how it is! This Pharaoh is truly an extremely arrogant fellow!"

"Old Qin, what have you discovered this time?" Wang Yi asked immediately.

"Keys aren't for opening doors."

Old Qin's voice trembled slightly with excitement.

"It was used to activate this pyramid! Look at the murals; what did the Pharaoh do after offering three sacred objects?"

Everyone immediately turned their attention to the mural.

In the mural, after the Pharaoh collected the three sacred objects, he did not open any door, but instead walked back to the entrance of the pyramid and held the three sacred objects high!

"go back?"

Wang Yi was taken aback. "Back to where we came in?"

"That's right!"

Old Qin said with certainty,

"According to the murals, the Altar of Souls is not deep within this pyramid, but at its very top! To ascend, one must return to the entrance and undergo the final test!"

"The final test?"

Chen Hu scratched his head.

"Didn't we just kill the guard dog?"

That was just an appetizer.

Wang Yi's expression turned serious. "Let's go back!"

Without further hesitation, everyone turned around and ran towards the corridor known as the Corridor of Truth, through which they had initially entered the central hall.

When they stepped back into the Corridor of Truth, everyone was surprised to find that the stone doors and puzzles that had previously trapped them had all disappeared.

The entire corridor is unobstructed.

They ran at full speed and soon saw the familiar golden sunlight of the desert shining in from ahead.

We've reached the exit!

However, when they rushed out of the corridor and returned to that familiar yellow sand, everyone was stunned.

There were no steps leading to the top of the pyramid before them.

Yes, there were only two colossal statues of Anubis, the jackal-headed god, standing hundreds of meters tall, wielding spears, and exuding an aura of death.

They stand quietly on either side of the pyramid entrance, just as they did when they first arrived, seemingly unchanged since time immemorial.

"What the hell? Didn't Elder Qin say there was a test? Where is the test?" Chen Hu looked around, but all he saw was sand.

"Everyone be careful!" Wang Yi sensed something was wrong.

The air was filled with an atmosphere a hundred times more oppressive than when they had faced the faceless one.

It was a sense of insignificance and awe that only arises from the depths of the soul when mortals look up to gods.

"Captain, look at the statue's eyes!"

Zhao Zihan's voice suddenly rang out on the channel, trembling slightly.

Everyone immediately looked up at the two enormous statues of Anubis.

There, in the empty eye sockets of the two statues that were originally carved from cold rock, one could see...

Suddenly, two points of eerie blue light, like will-o'-the-wisps, appeared!

The light was cold and lifeless, devoid of any emotion, coldly watching the crowd below.

"Holy crap...no way?"

Chen Hu swallowed hard, feeling his calves go weak.

He had a very bad feeling.

Rumbling--

The entire desert began to shake violently!

The two colossal statues that had stood for thousands of years began to develop huge cracks on their surfaces!

Countless pebbles fell from them, like a rain of stones.

"Click...click..."

A series of teeth-grinding, rock-grinding sounds emanated from inside the statue.

Under the horrified gaze of the twenty members of the Dragon Team, the two colossal statues, each a hundred meters tall, slowly began to move!

They stiffly turned their enormous jackal heads, their gazes, burning with eerie blue ghost flames, precisely locking onto Wang Yi and the others.

Then, slowly, they raised their massive, rocky feet, as large as mountains!

boom!

With one step, the earth shook!

A huge footprint, more than 20 meters in diameter, appeared on the sand!

The idol has come back to life!

"Run! Run!"

As the enormous statues, resembling two moving mountains, approached them step by step, someone let out a terrified scream.

The entire Dragons' formation was thrown into chaos instantly.

How can we fight like this?

Are you kidding me!

Those are two statues over a hundred meters tall! Forget about fighting them, their sheer size is enough to make anyone despair! A single stomp from them could turn all twenty of them into mincemeat!

"Stop right there! No disorder!"

At this critical moment, Wang Yi's roar, like a thunderclap, rang in everyone's ears!

"Run? Where can you run to?!"

"Now, immediately, form a defensive formation!"

Wang Yi's voice seemed to possess an undeniable magic, forcefully pulling everyone back from their immense fear.

Indeed, in this boundless desert, how could they possibly outrun those two giant statues on two legs?

Running away will only lead to death!

Suppressing their fear, the team members quickly reformed themselves into a circle back to back, aiming their weapons at the ever-approaching, massive figure.

"Captain... how... how are we supposed to fight this?" Chen Hu's voice was trembling with tears.

He felt as insignificant as an ant in front of these two statues.

He couldn't even muster the courage to attack them, let alone fight them.

That was an absolute suppression from the level of life itself!

"Even if we can't win, we have to fight!" Wang Yi gritted his teeth.

He knew this was their only way to survive!
