Chapter 426 Luminous Bead, The Lord Behind
The only trace left was the luminous bead the size of a pigeon egg on the table.
"Luminous bead? Why is it here!"
The mural flashed before Li Ang's eyes, "Could this guy be the Egyptian national teacher? He shouldn't be, he is wearing the golden and red armor and helmet of the Egyptian Empire..."
"Wait a moment……"
He suddenly froze.
According to the description on the mural, the Egyptian named Isaacs, the Egyptian national teacher, was seriously injured when he was attacked by evil witchcraft when he was building the ancient tomb.
But the frescoes make no mention of evil witchcraft.
That is, the authors of the frescoes were not aware of these contents.
"Could it be that the owner of this ancient tomb is an Egyptian?"
Li Ang rubbed his chin in thought.
According to the records of the murals, Isaacs, the Egyptian national teacher, once led the army to conquer many city-states in the south of Egypt, harvested a lot, and killed many enemies during the war.
At the end of the mural, the Imperial Master Isaacs carved words such as "a monster with a heinous crime", "blasphemy", and "will suffer revenge" on the wall, warning future generations with convincing words.
"The meaning of these words does not only refer to the Egyptians."
Li Ang muttered softly.
He stood up, walked out of the room, and went deep along the passage, ready to explore the entire square.
The square does not occupy a large area, but it is full of statues and various sacrificial utensils. Many sculptures were broken and scattered on the ground.
Li Ang walked all the way, and saw that the shape and color of the statue were getting closer and closer to the human form.
"These sculptures were originally created by humans, but were later transformed into followers of the Egyptian master.
Because these believers prayed continuously, their beliefs gathered in the temple, and gradually condensed into the statue of the Egyptian national teacher.
The Egyptian national teacher back then must have been an Egyptian, but when exactly did he become a centaur?
Like the ancient Egyptians, he believed in a group of great beings called "Gods"? "
Li Ang was puzzled, and continued to walk along the corridor until he reached the deepest point.
This is a spacious and magnificent hall, the dome is more than three feet high, inlaid with countless crystal lamps, shining like the day.
In the center of the hall is a golden dragon chair with a length of more than three meters, carved with lifelike golden dragons, and two long swords and three flags hanging beside it.
"Egyptians worshiped golden dragons?"
Li Ang said to himself, "Is there any connection between the Egyptians and the dragons in Greek mythology?"
Although he has no research on mythology, he has heard some rumors about dragons and mythology.
It is said that the dragon clan possesses the terrifying power of destroying the heavens and the earth. In ancient times, they were the spokespersons of the gods, and they were closer to the gods than the giant dragons.
And the gods, like the masters of the universe, are omnipotent.
Li Ang checked carefully and confirmed that there was nothing special in the hall except for the golden dragon, so he turned and left the Great Hall and came to the backyard.
On the floor of the backyard, densely packed inscriptions were engraved.
Every symbol is filled with rich and obscure magic fluctuations, as if there is a huge force dormant in it, and a terrifying force will erupt at any time.
"Huh? Here is..."
Li Ang's eyes brightened slightly, looking at a string of Sanskrit characters engraved on the floor.
This string of Sanskrit characters is extremely cumbersome, with curved and intricate strokes, but it also gives people a sense of mystery, which makes people want to delve into it.
Li Ang's thoughts turned and he thought quickly: "Every symbol here is a spell or a sentence?
Assuming that this world is a virtual game, Egypt is equivalent to the world of "Super Body".
And every spell and every symbol here represents a hidden plot or hidden mission. "
"However, why are these combinations of spells or symbols related to "Super Body"?"
Li Ang wondered, "Every spell and symbol here is a hidden plot?"
Li Ang stared at the inscription on the floor and fell silent.
Suddenly, a system prompt sounded in my mind——
[A player is detected to trigger a hidden plot: the mysterious Queen of Darkness. 】
[You discovered the curse and hidden plot in Egypt, may I ask if you want to accept the hidden task and enter the cursed area. 】
"..."
A smile appeared on Li Ang's face.
He guessed right, there is a mysterious curse hidden in this ancient tomb, and there really is a hidden mission!
"accept."
[Ding~ The hidden mission has been activated, please enter the cursed area. 】
Li Ang looked around and saw several rows of stone platforms with wooden statues erected on them.
These statues are very rough and simple, some are a severed arm, some are a mutilated corpse.
Li Ang walked up to one of the statues and observed it carefully.
This statue is indeed the Egyptian national teacher Isaacs, the Egyptian national teacher!
"Damn, this statue..."
Li Ang's eyes widened, and the corners of his mouth twitched, "It looks exactly like me!"
On the statue, the carving is poor, there is no paint, and it is filled with craftsmanship and wood chips.
But even so, Li Ang still found his own shadow from the statue.
Whether it is the outline of the facial features, or the bridge of the nose and eyebrows, they are all lifelike.
Li Ang looked up at the other statues, all of them were similar.
"..."
Li Ang was silent for a moment, then shook his head and smiled wryly: "Could it be that all the statues here are carved in my image?
This Egyptian is too exaggerated, he dares to show off such an ugly appearance! "
He reached out and grabbed the statue's right leg, and ruthlessly tore off the trousers, only to find that there was a hideous twisted sarcoma on the ankle of the right leg.
Is this... a birthmark?
Li Ang lowered his head and took a closer look, "No, it's not a birthmark..."
"Um?"
Li Ang frowned, staring at the tumor on the statue's ankle.
The sarcoma was oval in shape, about the size of a baby's fist, with pits and bumps on the surface, and some places were covered with pustules, with green pus oozing out.
In the center of the sarcoma is a dark eyeball, the pupils of which have a strange off-white color, as if Death is staring at it, which is daunting.
"What is this?"
Li Ang narrowed his eyes, "Could it be a curse?"
He picked the epidermis of the sarcoma with his fingertips, and sticky and rotten pus flowed out.
"hiss!"
A tingling pain came from the pulp of the finger, Li Ang quickly shook his hand, discarded the sarcoma, and saw that the finger was corroded to a small section below the thumb knuckle, bloody and bloody, horrible.
The toxicity of sarcoma is so strong!
Li Ang's eyebrows twitched, and he quickly took off his clothes, wrapped them around the nails of his index fingers, and approached the statue again.
"Huh……"
He was surprised to find that there was a faint light emerging from the wound on the statue's ankle, like a protective film covering the pus and sarcoma, preventing the pus from spreading and slowly recovering from the injury.
"Is this... is it some kind of healing technique from Egypt?"
Li Ang blinked, "It's pretty advanced!"
Since the statues here have a healing effect, he can keep these statues, bring them to Egypt, and sell them to local Egyptian merchants, and maybe they can get a lot of money.
