The villain really doesn't want to steal the heroine.

Chapter 150: Earth Vein Shock

"I can't fight at all. The key is that this desert environment is very restraining to me."

After hearing what Claire said, Sylphy came over and complained.

Nolandi, Luo Ai'er and Xing Yi said nothing, each standing behind their master and keeping vigilant.

"Don't panic. If you can't defeat me, let Xingyi teleport us away." Wanxing smiled faintly and reminded: "Pay attention, the battle is about to begin."

As soon as he finished speaking, the girls in the team heard a "crackling" sound, as if something was shattered.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw that under the sunlight simulated by the ceiling of the boss room, the ancient pyramid was dyed with an ominous yellow.

The vastness and silence of the desert were broken by a sudden and strange phenomenon.

Two giant statues - mysterious guardians that have stood for countless years after the maze was built.

At this moment, it seems as if I have been awakened by an ancient spell!

Their surface began to slowly crack, emitting a low and heavy roar, like a sigh from the depths of the earth.

Cracks began at the giant statue's forehead, spreading rapidly across its entire body like a spider web. Each crack brought tiny pieces of rock to the ground, sending up clouds of dust. An oppressive and eerie atmosphere filled the air, and the surrounding, previously tranquil dunes seemed to sense this force and trembled slightly.

As the cracks deepened and widened, two huge shadows gradually emerged from the interior of the two giant statues. They had been curled up in the chests of the giant statues, and now they had finally broken free of their restraints and were ready to see the light of day again.

By analyzing and identifying the power, Wanxing knew their names - [Giant Beast Sphinx]

A fusion of a human head, a lion's body, and wings. This was the initial impression of the Wanxing team when they first saw these two giant beasts.

The Sphinx's eyes gleam with a deep green light, like the deep night sky, revealing both infinite wisdom and endless terror. Its body is enormous and twisted, a perfect combination of a lion's body and a human head, displaying a terrifying beauty that transcends nature.

When the sphinxes fully emerged from the colossal statue, the entire pyramid seemed to tremble. They roared to the heavens, their cries piercing the clouds and echoing throughout every corner of the desert, carrying with them boundless majesty and fury. The surrounding sand was swept up by this force, forming a small sandstorm that enveloped everything in terror.

After roaring, the two giant Sphinx beasts slowly turned around and looked at the members of the Wanxing team with their dark green eyes. Their eyes showed a desire for freedom, confusion about the unknown, and ruthlessness and coldness towards the challengers.

"Xingyi, seal the one on the left, and the rest of you, join me in focusing on the one on the right!"

After Wanxing gave the order, he swung the [Holy Sword Fireworks] in his hand forward and instantly cast a heroic-level magic [Fire Spirit Sword Formation]. Under the double amplification of the Holy Sword and the MAX affinity of the fire element, this fire magic was forcibly upgraded by two levels, showing the destructive power of the sanctuary level. The number of Fire Spirit Swords also increased from the normal 10 to 1000.

Giant swords formed from pale flames suddenly appeared above the Sphinx on the right and smashed down like a violent storm.

Xingyi's [Star Sealing Technique] was already ready, waiting for Wanxing's order, and sealed the [Sphinx] on the left on the spot.

The other girls in the team also took action. Each of them had a special physique, so challenging higher-level players was as easy as taking something out of a bag.

Even a terrifying monster like the Sphinx can only suffer in the northwest and cannot cause much trouble.

Before [Sphinx] could use any of his innate skills, he was beaten back repeatedly by the endless attacks. He resisted for more than ten seconds before he completely fell down, and a magic stone of a special shape exploded on the spot.

At this time, the sealed [Sphinx] had not been unsealed yet, so its fate was naturally needless to say. After being killed, it quickly lost its pigment and turned into dust, leaving only a magic stone.

Wan Xing stepped forward and picked up the two peculiarly shaped magic stones. Curiously, he used his analytical and identification powers to examine them. Then, he suddenly realized, "They're actually the keys to the pyramid? This floor's main boss is quite ceremonial."

Hearing this, the girls in the team all complained:

"The monsters in this maze are so stingy! They only produce magic stones to begin with, and now they're even taking them back as keys!"

"Exactly. The pyramids are quite large, but I didn't expect him to be such a poor fellow!"

"The maze makes money and the maze flowers, I want to take them home once I leave!"

……

Wanxing didn't care, because he had so many magic stones that he couldn't use them all.

He combined two magic stones of special shapes and then stuffed them into the gap in the main entrance of the pyramid.

Accompanied by the rumbling sound of gears turning, the main door of the pyramid slowly opened.

"Everyone be careful, the boss may appear at any time!"

Wanxing gave a reminder, picked up Xingyi and walked to the front of the team, heading into the pyramid.

Loelle followed closely behind, followed by the two fragile magicians, Devilia and Sylphy, and finally the two melee professions, Nolandi and Claires, who left behind.

The pyramid is full of twists and turns, with countless forks in the road, which is very troublesome for ordinary maze climbers - because there seems to be a special magic circle here that isolates detection magic and perception magic, giving the interior of the pyramid an overlapping psychedelic effect.

Of course, this method is useless to Wanxing.

He had already experimented with this when killing monsters. If one has enough destructive power, all the scenes in the maze can be destroyed, but they will be automatically repaired.

The walls of the pyramids are no exception.

With the help of the power of [Earth Vein Shock] inherited from the God of Earth, Wanxing moved forward in a straight line, and all the walls and obstacles he encountered cracked on the spot - just as Mr. Zhou Shuren once said, there are no roads in the world, as long as you are strong enough, everything will become a road.

Although it is indeed very boring to keep going forward without paying attention to the forks in the road,

But for Wanxing it was not boring at all. Chatting with his teammates could keep him in a happy mood.

Soon, the Wanxing team arrived at the depths of the dark and gloomy pyramid. A wisp of ominous mist slowly rose, as if the door to the underworld was quietly pushed open.

Suddenly, a subtle and harsh friction sound broke the silence. It was a sound that did not belong to this world, coming from the ancient and mysterious depths.

As the sound grew closer, a forgotten mummy slowly struggled out of its millennia-old sarcophagus. Its body was shrunken from dehydration, its skin clinging to its bones, a disturbing gray-black. Its eyes, hollow and lifeless, seemed to penetrate the deepest fears of the human heart.

Chapter 151: The Place of Eternal Rest

The mummy's movements were stiff and slow, yet each step revealed a force that could not be underestimated. Its arms were stretched forward, its fingers curved like hooks, as if ready to seize prey.

As it got closer, the air was filled with an indescribable stench of decay and antiquity.

Team Wanxing activated their magic shields and fighting spirit to block out the smell.

Suddenly, the mummy let out a low, hoarse roar, leaped up, and pounced towards Wanxing, who was at the forefront. Its sharp claws followed closely, instantly tearing through the air and slashing down fiercely.

The speed was so fast that it was totally disproportionate to its seemingly decayed body, as if an unknown force was driving it.

Ding!

The [Earth Guardian] inherited from the God of Earth materialized into an ochre light shield, easily blocking the mummy's claws. All the attacks were transferred to the ground beneath Wanxing's feet.

"This monster stinks, die!"

"How dare you sneak attack the master? Die!"

"Anyway, die!!"

……

The girls of Team Wanxing screamed and blasted the mummy to pieces on the spot.

After walking for a long time in this silent pyramid, when they saw the mummy appear, everyone's first reaction was not nervousness and caution, but great excitement. Finally, there was some change.

Perhaps after killing this mummy, we can lure out the main boss of the floor.

However, things didn't go so smoothly. This mummy seemed to be a signal, and the next moment, more than ten mummies leaped out from the shadows. Each of them transformed itself into black mist and launched an attack on the Wanxing team.

There were several mummies standing in the back row, the bandages on their bodies squirming wildly.

In the blink of an eye, countless scarabs shot out from under the bandages, crashing into the khaki light shield and began to gnaw on it.

[Extremely Cold and Frozen]

With a delicate cry, Davriya unleashed the heroic ice magic she had long prepared. Empowered by the Witch of Annihilation's physique, the range and destructive power of the extreme cold were amplified by a terrifying 512 times.

The entire space seemed to have come to a standstill. Whether it was the black mist formed by the mummy or the scarab beetle flying towards them, their movement speed dropped sharply, approaching a state of stillness, and finally being completely frozen.

This is true absolute zero!

It was also the first time that Wanxing saw Davilya, whose Witch of Annihilation physique was fully awakened, attack with all her strength. He did not expect that her ability to control the situation was so abnormal.

Out of curiosity, he gently tapped the nearest mummy with the [Holy Sword: Fireworks].

The mummy, which seemed to be in deep sleep, was not awakened by the knock. Instead, a crack appeared on its body and quickly spread out, with dense spider veins covering the entire body.

Well, not only is the control ability strong, the damage is also not low.

Kara Kara!

The mummy broke into millions of pieces, flying everywhere, and only a magic stone fell in its place.

At the same time, with the sound of wind, the magic stone seemed to be lifted up by an invisible hand and automatically flew to the side of the thrifty Luo Ai'er. She put it into the storage ring and disappeared.

"Hehe, the little maid's wind magic is really convenient for picking up dropped materials. It's fast enough!"

Wanxing thought with satisfaction.

The key is that this can help him maintain his noble image of despising money, so he doesn't need to bend down to pick up materials after every battle.

Ever since Wanxing became stronger and became the main force of the team, the little maid who used to help him level up has now become responsible for cleaning the battlefield.

Of course, it cannot be said that Luo Ai'er is not strong. The follower and admirer effects of the [Universal Maid] talent are enough to keep her level up and allow her to always follow Wanxing.

Although this talent is not like that of other girls in the team, they can easily challenge higher levels.

But the rapid improvement in her level allows her to crush others in other realms - for example, when Wanxing is promoted to the Brilliant Level, other girls still need to rely on their own hard work to catch up, but Luo Ai'er can take advantage of the opportunity and soar to the top.

So although Luo Ai'er cannot kill enemies above her level, as long as Wanxing grows fast enough, the combat power displayed by Luo Ai'er will not be weaker than that of other girls, and may even be stronger.

……

As the first mummy turned to ash, the other mummies and scarabs also shattered.

After Luo Ai'er controlled the wind magic to pick up the magic stone, the Wanxing team continued to move forward in the pyramid. During the journey, a total of three waves of mummies appeared and attacked everyone, and each wave was more powerful than the last.

In the last wave, the number of mummies reached hundreds at once, but they still failed to pose a threat to the Wanxing team. Under the defense of [Guardian of the Earth], not even a single one was injured.

Amidst the mummies' continuous attacks, the Wanxing team finally arrived at the center of the pyramid.

There was no light inside, so Wanxing cast a spell to float up more than ten fireballs, which lit up the surrounding space.

There were many murals on the walls. The one closest to the Wanxing team showed the Pharaoh wearing a magnificent robe and a crown symbolizing royal authority. His face was majestic and solemn, his eyes deep and firm, as if he could see through everything in the world. He stood tall and straight, holding a scepter in both hands, demonstrating his supreme power and inviolable status.

The other murals are equally rich in content, depicting scenes from the pharaoh's life, such as hunting, banquets, and celebrations, showcasing his royal dignity and luxury. Others depict his posthumous journey into the underworld, his judgment by the gods, and his dances with the gods. In these scenes, the pharaoh is often depicted in the company of various gods, undergoing rituals and trials together, ultimately achieving eternal life.

Davilia suddenly said, "These murals are so beautiful. I will ask the craftsmen to carve some murals in my future resting place to record my glorious moments."

Sylphy also joined in the fun, saying, "I will definitely be buried in the ancestral land of the mermaid royal family. It's not convenient to paint murals on the seabed, so I'll just carve some stone statues."

The other girls in the team were not of royal descent, and they had no requirements for their own burial places after death, so they kept silent.

Wan Xing waved his hand domineeringly and said, "Ah, then you probably don't have a chance. I won't allow it."

With his system, he will surely stand at the top of the world in the future, and it is possible for him to live forever with his harem.

Dafuliya thought Wanxing hated the murals. Although she felt a little disappointed, she nodded obediently and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you."

"Hmph, so stingy! At worst I can carve some stone statues for you to put together." Sylphy puffed up her cheeks like an angry pufferfish.

Chapter 152: Phase II

Amidst the noise, Team Wanxing continued to advance under the fireball spell. Both sides of this wide corridor were covered with murals, and there was only one central figure, the Pharaoh.

At the end of the corridor was a dark and empty space. After the fireball flew in to dispel the darkness, the scene that unfolded was shocking.

Claire, who came from a poor mountain village, was the first to exclaim, "Wow... so many gold coins!"

I saw huge stone shelves standing around the space, filled with various golden utensils, golden tripods, golden plates, golden wine jugs, golden lotus bowls, and golden lamps. Although there was a layer of dust on them, they still flashed with bright golden light under the illumination of more than ten fireballs.

The ground was covered with a thick layer of gold coins, and on top of the gold coins were piled a large number of wooden boxes. Due to their age, some of these boxes were broken, and the contents inside were clearly visible - gold bars, gold bricks, gold cakes...

We have to admit that women like two kinds of spending the most. One is to spend money, and the other is to spend it at will. The gold in front of them can obviously do this and make women happy.

Even Davila and Norlandi couldn't help but breathe faster.

Although Davilya is Her Royal Highness the Princess of the Magic Empire, there are many princes and princesses in the empire, and most of the money and resources are provided to the eldest prince.

Therefore, the funds allocated to her were very limited - even Wanxing was richer than her before he awakened his memories of his past life. After all, he was the only son of the Duke who was deeply loved.

Not only that, in order to awaken the [Nirvana Witch Physique] from childhood to adulthood, Davilia has also consumed a lot of resources, and basically has no spare money left.

Seeing so much gold and treasure today, it is natural to feel a little excited. This is human nature.
