Chapter 822: Chapter 822: Followed Closely
The Snake Lordās punch didnāt hold back at all. He had a feeling that if he let this dried corpse go, they would undoubtedly face enormous trouble.
But the result was far from ideal. Although this punch was enough to kill an A-grade peak expert, the dried corpse merely curled its lips and then slowly got up from the ground, without showing even the slightest sign of injury!
"How is this possible!" Everyoneās hearts sank.
The dried corpse stood up, its eyes fixed on the Indian Snake King. The previous mockery disappeared, replaced by intense fury.
"Defiance... desecration... heretic of the Pharaoh... shall die!" A fragmented sentence came out of the dried corpseās mouth. Evidently, the Indian Snake Kingās attack had triggered its rage!
A hoarse roar echoed. Suddenly, loud rumbling noises ensued as two rows of black coffins began trembling. Quickly, under the astonished gazes of everyone, the lids of each coffin opened, revealing mummies wrapped in bandages climbing out!
"Kill... kill them!" The dried corpse pointed at the Indian Snake King and the others, issuing its command!
As time passed, the dried corpseās ability to express itself grew stronger. It now seemed fully adapted to its current body.
"If you want to live, use all your strength! Iām not here to babysit you!" The Indian Snake King said coldly.
As he spoke, he threw a punch, blasting away two mummies charging at the front.
The others exchanged glances and saw determination in each otherās eyes. Though it was difficult to accept the current situation, they were seasoned warriors after all! Faced with this life-and-death crisis, the only thought left in their minds was to fight!
It was only when they started fighting the mummies that they realized these mummies werenāt very strong, with cultivation levels only at A-grade, not even reaching A-grade peak! This discovery gave everyone a sigh of relief.
However, though the mummies werenāt powerful, they posed another challenging problemāthese mummies seemed to have immortal bodies. No matter how much force was used against them, it was impossible to harm them!
"This isnāt going to work!" One man knocked back a mummy and shook his weary, sore arms, saying, "If this keeps going, we wonāt last much longer!"
The others nodded in agreement. These mummies had incredibly sturdy bodiesānot even bullets could penetrate them, let alone physical strength!
The Indian Snake King furrowed his brows slightly. Although the mummies posed no threat to him and couldnāt harm him, he couldnāt prevent them from attacking others either!
There were over twenty mummies in total, and the Indian Snake King had no intention of acting as a babysitter, protecting the members of the Freedom Organization!
"Look over there!" At that moment, one of the members exclaimed in excitement, "Thereās an opening over there!"
Everyone followed the voice and saw a deep opening beneath the dried corpseās original coffin. The opening had been revealed when the Snake Lord shattered the coffin earlier, exposing the passage. A metallic fragment hovered at the entrance, indicating the presence of map energy inside.
"Thereās actually more to this place?" The Indian Snake King quickly said, "Everyone, hurry into the opening! Iāll cover the rear!"
With that, the Indian Snake King roared angrily and swung his arms, summoning countless chains of yellow sand from the ground to bind all the mummies. Despite their relentless struggles, they couldnāt break free from the Snake Kingās control.
"Letās move!" Taking advantage of the Snake Kingās effort to restrain the mummies, the others quickly dived into the opening one by one.
Once the last person had entered, the Snake King finally followed them inside.
Roar! As the Snake King stepped onto the stairs leading into the opening, a furious roar sounded from outside. The dried corpse was clearly enraged, but for some unknown reason, it couldnāt enter the underground passage.
"Weāre finally safe!" One person sighed with lingering fear, saying, "I never imagined there would be so many bizarre things inside this pyramid. If I survive and make it out, I swear Iāll never set foot in the pyramid, or even Egypt, ever again! This has been nothing short of a nightmare!"
Many others nodded in agreement. What had happened just moments ago had utterly shocked their nerves!
"The metallic fragment is still pointing forward, which means the map is ahead. Letās move out!" The Snake King looked at the group and said, "We donāt know what traps or dangers lie ahead, so stay alert!"
The passage was dark, but its walls were adorned with Luminous Pearls, brightly illuminating the way.
"Such extravagance!" Even the Snake King, stunned by the lavish display, remarked, "If we pried all these Luminous Pearls out and sold them, weād easily rank among the richest!"
As they descended the staircase, the Snake King felt his earlier premonition intensify, along with a wave of anger rising in his heart.
"Iāll see whoās been watching me from the shadows!" The Snake Kingās face turned grim. "Once I find you, Iāll tear you apart limb by limb to vent my rage!"
While the Snake Kingās group ventured into the unknown, Ling Feng, Bai Feifei, and three members of the Grey Bear Mercenary Group arrived at the Kingās Tomb.
When they arrived, the twenty-some mummies had returned to their coffins, and the dried corpse was squatting on the ground, assembling the shattered coffin that the Snake King had destroyed.
"Am I imagining things?" Fat Bear mumbled to himself, staring at the eerie scene. "Big Clumsy Bear, slap Wild Bear to check if Iām dreaming!"
Wild Bear was indignant. "Why donāt you slap yourself? Why hit me?"
"Big Clumsy Bearās strength is greater! If he slaps me, itāll hurt more!" Fat Bear replied confidently.
Wild Bear was momentarily speechless, suddenly realizing Fat Bearās logic seemed oddly sound and was hard to refute!
"This... Ling Feng, whatās going on here?" Bai Feifei, despite her bold nature, couldnāt help but feel uneasy at the sight of a dried corpse squatting on the ground, assembling its coffin. It was anything but picturesque!
"Heh heh heh, fresh prey!" The dried corpse raised its head upon hearing their voices, noticing the five of them. It let out a dry laugh: "Intruders into the Pharaohās resting place... Die!"
With that, it lunged toward Bai Feifei.
"Ah!" Bai Feifei hid behind Ling Feng, clutching his sleeve tightly.
Ling Feng rolled his eyes and casually smacked the dried corpse to the ground. "Stop causing trouble, I donāt have time to play with you! Let me ask you somethingācan you answer honestly?"
Fat Bear and the other three members stared at Ling Feng with admiration.
The dried corpse was also dumbfounded. This guy wasnāt behaving as expected! And why should I answer his questions?
"You shall all..."
Before finishing its sentence, Ling Feng smacked it again, exasperated. "Canāt you wait until I finish talking before you start?"
