v7 Chapter 22： mummy

With the end of the prayer, apart from the black stone tablet still standing on the ground, the surrounding area has undergone dramatic changes.

William's pupils gradually adjusted to the darkness.

As far as he could see, the ruins of the original temple were no longer there.

In front of them, hundreds of thick Doric-style pillars appeared out of thin air, carefully arranged in rows, with no head visible at a glance, as if they were endless.

These stone pillars are engraved with pictures and texts, each of which is extremely tall and supports the dome.

There are a lot of statues all around.

The closest is a twelve-foot-tall ram-headed snake sculpture;

Going further, it is a man with the head of a sheep sitting on a moon boat, carved from ebony;

The fire-breathing witch, every strand of her hair is a twisting cobra.

By a door was an Egyptian cat of black rock, with its hind paws erect;

Going forward, William distinguished the stone sculpture of a huge eagle-headed man, holding a long sword...

All of them are ancient Egyptians, gods in the minds of Muggles, and arguably the most powerful wizards and warlocks of that era.

There are some intermittent holes between the stone statues, and countless mummies stand in them, tall and strange.

Blue flames flickered at their feet like distant, dim stars.

William was surprised that so many mummies appeared.

The altar has statues he can understand, but why are there mummies?

The function of the temple may not be a mausoleum!

So these things were originally guarded here, or were they deliberately moved?

Hermione observed for a moment and said keenly: "William, these mummies are pharaohs!"

William followed her gaze and immediately recognized her statement when he saw something.

The worship of the sun **** and the worship of Osiris were the two most important elements of the Muggle religion in ancient Egypt.

They are concentrated in one image, that is the "Sacred Eye".

Divine Eye... It may sound a little strange, but basically it can be said to be the most common symbol in the world:

On the back of the one-dollar bill, there is a pyramid pattern, and at the top of the tower, in a radiant triangle, there is a "sacred eye".

And the importance of ancient Egypt, the birthplace of symbols, is even more self-evident.

Pharaohs of all dynasties wore the holy eye bracelet when they were buried.

The corpse of a noble mummy is also often covered with a metal disc over the incision with a divine eye on it.

As for civilians... they are not qualified to be mummified.

The mummies in front of them all wore sacred eye bracelets on both hands.

They were definitely... Pharaohs.

The problem is that most of the tombs of the existing pharaohs are buried in the Valley of the Kings.

Why are mummies here? !

William sensed something was wrong.

But the goblins don't care, they are already crazy, with greedy eyes flashing in their eyes.

Although the pharaohs wore stinky and tattered cloth strips, they had a lot of funerary objects on them.

With gold statues, silver chains, sea-like sapphires, and green pearls bigger than a pigeon's egg strung together on a rope...

Invaluable.

The fairies seemed to have been enchanted, their eyes flashing red, and they rushed over directly.

They are going to take away all the treasures on the mummy.

A young goblin was the fastest, and had already run to the mummy's side, trying to take away the golden mask from his face.

Only when he touched the pharaoh, the goblin suddenly screamed, and the small half of his arm was melting, exuding a rancid smell.

Strange laughter of "Jie Jie" could be heard throughout the empty hall.

The mummy, crunching, raised its arms and took off the mask covering its face.

There was no face under the mask, only a yellowed skull, with a little bit of skin sticking between the cheeks, and many black scarabs twisting and drilling out of the hollow eye sockets.

"Whoever disturbs the pharaoh's sleep, death will spread his wings and descend upon his head!"

The mummy said hoarsely, her voice dry and hoarse, like a dying guttural sound, cursing.

He took a step forward, grabbing the goblin with his dry arm.

The goblin was in pain, but still raised the only remaining arm and cast magic.

The light penetrated the mummy and shot a big hole, but he didn't care, and locked the goblin with both hands from the front.

The two put on a strange posture of intertwined roots, and then, there was a cracking sound of broken bones.

Creepy.

The goblin's entire chest was torn apart by strangulation, and before dying, the mummy grabbed her neck and slammed her head against the wall.

As soon as it was knocked, the gossamer, who was already so angry, had her eyeballs pop out of her sockets, and the scene was terrifying.

Another mummy raised its head and let out a roar that pierced the eardrums, and the temple shook, shaking off countless dust.

With five bones like hooks, he pulled the goblin's heart out of his chest and put it into his mouth to swallow it.

Having absorbed the flesh and blood, he was shocked, and looked at the life that suddenly appeared even more greedily.

There are also countless scarabs, drilling out from the hard ground.

The dense accumulation is enough to drive a dense phobia patient crazy.

They came one after the other, like river water, like turbulent currents, wrapped around the wizard's ankles, and climbed up along the robes.

After a scarab bit the skin, all the scarabs swarmed up, drilled into the wizard's body along the same position, and continued to bite.

He let out a scream, nails embedded in the skin, just wanting to dig out the contents of his body.

There were dozens of terrifying bloodstains on his face and chest.

After only a moment, the wizard was completely swallowed, and he was shriveled, with a layer of skin left, and even the bones were eaten.

The number of spell-removing teams composed of fairies and wizards is drastically decreasing.

The circle of mummies and scarabs is also shrinking.

William and Hermione were also among them, back to back, handing over to each other, constantly resisting the attack.

These mummies cannot cast magic, but the corpse poison on them has the effect of corrosive magic.

Defense and physical strength have also increased a lot.

William waved his wand, shot out a magic spell, and exploded in mid-air, drawing thousands of dense red lines.

The red awns wrapped around the backs of several mummies, directly smashing their chests and heads.

The mummy died instantly and turned into dust, but soon condensed together and appeared beside the stone sculpture.

They join the attacking team again!

It can't be killed! !

Hermione also noticed this, and she said loudly:

"William, we need to get out of here!"

Leaving... not leaving this temple.

The altar where the inscription was just read, and the location at this time are definitely no longer the same space.

It's easy to want to go back.

But the black stone tablet was blocked by the pharaohs, and it was impossible to quietly re-read the inscription.

Besides, since they came in, William and Hermione didn't even think about going out.

They have other things to look for.

Seeing that there are fewer and fewer goblins, more mummies and scarabs are surrounded.

William's wand overturned, and with a twist of his fingers, a cloud of black mist flew towards the mummy.

Inside the temple, a row of mummies was marked as dust, and the scarabs were also cut apart by the black mist, constantly squeezing.

Winning a little space, William rowed as a sea eagle, Hermione jumped, climbed on top of him skillfully, and hugged the eagle's head tightlyWilliam stood up from the ground and took the way to the piece that the goblin stole. The "Metternich Stone" flew away.

Hermione's wand began to wave, and the air flowed on the palm of her hand, spinning and condensing frantically.

Without verbal communication, with the tacit understanding of Hermione, she naturally crossed her legs and locked William's head.

The girl leaned down. She has practiced yoga all year round. She is light and flexible. She stretched out her hands and grabbed the stone tablet.

She, who had already cast magic on both hands, showed great strength, pulled forward, dragged the heavy stone tablet on William, and hurriedly put it into the safety watch.

The movements were done in one go, as if they had cooperated countless times.

William let out a shrill cry, ignoring the reanimated mummy and scarab, and continued to fly towards the depths.
