The cursed snake is a common form of black magic in ancient Egypt, capable of silently taking a person's life.
Hasket lowered his head and controlled the venomous snake to approach Xu Fu.
As the venomous snake slowly swam out twenty meters, ten meters, five meters, and two meters, no one noticed this unusual phenomenon. Hashit suddenly revealed a painful, bitter smile, and the next second, his expression instantly became motionless.
The venomous snake disappeared without any warning; it simply vanished gradually.
Xu Fu turned his head and glanced at him indifferently. That glance almost killed Haxet. Fear had settled deep in his soul, and his body trembled uncontrollably.
His face was paler than paper, like a patient recovering from a serious illness.
Carter Hall couldn't help but ask.
"What's wrong with you? Are you sick?"
Haxett asked irritably, "It's the same old routine."
Xu Fu grinned. If it weren't for the alien spaceship, he would have killed him long ago.
After that incident, Haskell became completely obedient and never dared to have any other ideas again.
A few minutes later, a new round of testing began, this time an energy test. Xu Fu activated his power armor, releasing an energy beam that pierced through the void, began to bend, and reached a certain location.
Xu Fu adjusted the direction, had several people hold metal plates, and the light fell on the metal plates. When the light passed through the folded space, it bounced to the other side and then suddenly split open, returning to normal.
This situation has surprised us for a long time.
Xu Fu measured and recorded at the same time as before, but this time it took longer and the data he obtained was more complex. His brain was working at high speed, and a large amount of data was gathered in his mind. He classified, organized, and calculated the data, found out the questionable parts, and conducted in-depth analysis.
In this respect, Xu Fu differed from geniuses: a powerful soul not only brings extraordinary senses, but also unimaginable arithmetic and reasoning abilities.
His brain is the best intellectual processor in the world.
Time passed slowly. After an unknown amount of time, Xu Fu suddenly stood up, closed his eyes tightly, and walked at an unusually fast pace to the other side of the room. After about five minutes, he stopped and said to Linda, who was thirty meters away from him...
"...hurriedly walked towards where I was."
Without hesitation, Linda landed on her feet and, with a gust of wind, rushed forward at a speed exceeding the speed of sound. When she was about three meters away, the light changed, and as the heavenly sense of loss faded away, the girl found herself in an unfamiliar place. The figures had disappeared, leaving only a gray expanse that stretched as far as the eye could see.
"It's nearby."
"Xu Fu, where are you?"
After calling out a few times without getting a response, Linda found a direction, straightened up, and soon saw Barry sitting idly to the side.
"Why are you here?"
"Just like you"
Barry explained, "The boss told us to keep walking, and then we just disappeared."
"It's unbelievable!"
"It looks like a (good) entrance."
"Stop talking nonsense and come back first."
Two of them unknowingly returned to the starting point. A few minutes later, Haxett and Carter Hall also returned. The four of them looked at each other, unable to hide their shock.
Xu Fu turned off the virtual screen and spoke slowly and deliberately.
"One good news and one bad news"
"The good news is, I already know how the void works. So if I walk in a certain direction, I can avoid the solidified space and find the right direction."
"The bad news is: the location of the exit is still unknown, and the only way is to explore step by step."
Haskell and Carter-Hall felt a sense of relief; time was no longer an important factor.
Linda, however, was somewhat flustered and couldn't help but ask...
"As many as you want, we have them all."
Xu Fu shook his head: "It depends on luck: if you're lucky, it can be done in half an hour; if you're unlucky, it will take at least three days."
Chapter 1537 Black Adam's Fate
The third level of the Eternal Stone is where Shyvana has been wandering around ever since she broke up with Xu Fu. She used the furnace space to run to the training area, then to the armory. When she passed the arena, she was covered by a veil of light and could not see inside, so she went to other places.
He searched for Hashit, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't find him. It was as if the other party had vanished into thin air. There was nothing on the second floor, nothing on the third floor, only the fourth floor remained. But according to the information, the fourth floor was a void, where there was nothing. Hashit shouldn't have gone there, right?
The Stone of Eternity is enormous. Xu Fu marked its approximate coordinates on the map we received, but the exact location can only be determined by experiencing it firsthand.
Using the main road as a reference, Shyvana began searching in both directions and unknowingly arrived at the cemetery.
According to the map, the sealed land is behind the cemetery, and King Tes-Adam of Kandak, who is known as a hero of slave owners, is very likely in the sealed land.
Shyvana, somewhat curious, couldn't resist venturing into the cemetery. With her superb grave-digging skills, she quickly found the entrance hidden beneath the sarcophagus.
This is a descending staircase, as long as three hundred floors.
Shyvana, holding a torch, walked beside them, looking at the murals on the walls on both sides, which depicted the protagonist's coming-of-age story.
Five thousand years ago, a boy was born in a sheep pen in the dead of night. His mother was a slave, so he was also a slave. At the age of six, the boy was chosen by his master to become a prospective fighter and underwent rigorous fighting training. At the age of fifteen, he participated in a fighting competition and defeated ninety-seven fighters in the following two years, becoming a famous figure overnight.
However, someone attempted to assassinate his master. According to the custom at the time, a slave had to accompany the master after his death, and unfortunately, he was chosen. A slave trader saw his abilities and secretly bought him. After that, the dark years began.
The boy was taken to the Colosseum of Death, where he fought against all sorts of inhuman monsters to please the nobles and the Pharaoh.
This slave graveyard is a place where even the strongest warrior cannot survive for more than a year, but he won the favor of Prince Kuf with his extraordinary bravery and survived for four years, his longsword stained with the blood of dozens of monsters.
He was taken to the palace to serve as a guard, where he met Isis, a young, beautiful, strong, and captivating girl. She was the only daughter of the court wizard Shazam, and her beautiful appearance concealed a hidden side.
He fell hopelessly in love with a woman and was willing to do anything for her. Isis was also captivated by the man's abilities, and in an attempt to attract him, the boy deliberately appeared before the wizard Shazam.
He worked hard to prove his courage, strength, intelligence, and resourcefulness, and his fame grew and spread among the slaves. He became a well-known slave hero.
In the end, Shazam recognized the stubborn slave and gave him a new name, Tes-Adam, meaning guardian of truth. He also took him to a hall with seven chairs and made him the successor of the wizards under the watchful eyes of the gods.
The power of the six gods flowed into his body, bringing unimaginable strength.
Shu's endurance allows him to withstand most attacks without needing to eat or breathe, and he has a very long lifespan, making him virtually immortal.
Horus's speed gave him supersonic maneuverability, allowing him to float freely in the air and react at speeds higher than normal.
Amun's divine power transformed his body, making him the strongest creature on Earth, capable of bending steel, smashing through walls, and easily lifting objects thousands of times his own weight.
Thoth's inspiration gave him the ability to see the source; no matter what the book was, he could memorize it after just one glance and analyze it with a higher level of thinking to extract the key points.
Arden is the head of the Enneads, representing the sky. His power is boundless and he possesses numerous divine powers. Tes-Adam was endowed with the "lightning" divine power (BBFH), which not only grants Adam the superpower of lightning but also enhances his other abilities, even allowing him to teleport.
Mihan was known for his bravery, and under his tutelage, Tessia developed a strong will that combined physical and mental discipline; she was almost immune to mental attacks and could even repel magic cast by her opponents in some situations.
This force is being imposed on nature!
After gaining the power of the six gods, Tes-Adam's mind began to change. At the request of his friends and at the urging of Isis, he began to help the slaves, starting by improving their lives and restoring their rights, and later abolishing human sacrifice and eliminating slavery.
His unpredictable behavior greatly displeased the nobles and pharaohs, and even disgusted the gods.
Shazam tried to persuade him to abandon his unreasonable ideas, and the king also pleaded with him. Tess-Adam remained silent and, accompanied by his wife Isis, went to the temple. When he saw the thin and haggard slaves who had to work under the scorching sun, his anger was completely ignited.
The Great Slave War began, and Tes-Adam became a god in the hearts of the slaves. He led the slaves to defeat one slave owner after another and publicly declared that he would build a happy world of equality, freedom, and no oppression.
The movement spread throughout Egypt, threatening the Pharaoh's power. The king had to seek help from Shazam and the gods, but unfortunately, for some reason, many gods had disappeared, and the remaining gods could not help him. Shazam was no exception. Although he also possessed the power of the six gods, he was more than capable of dealing with his son-in-law.
The mural ended there, and Sivana walked out of the passage and into the spacious hall.
A stone coffin stands on the altar in the center of the hall, and there is a statue of Anubis in each corner.
Shyvana swallowed hard, overwhelmed with excitement. She had guessed correctly: the hero slave Tes-Adam depicted in the mural, a being comparable to a god, was buried in the sarcophagus.
He desperately wanted to know more about the story: why had Tes-Adam failed? Was his wife, the beautiful femme fatale Isis, still alive?
Haskete mentioned that Tes-Adam did not die and will not die; he was merely sealed away, and if the seal is broken, he can be resurrected.
What will the resurrected Tess Adam do? Will he teach himself magic, or will he enhance his abilities by harnessing the power of the six gods, like Shazam?
Recalling that scene, Shyvana couldn't help but get excited, but then she hesitated.
Xu Fu-Xiao's warning remained fresh in his mind, and he gave up the idea of finding the sealed place. Unexpectedly, during a walk, he discovered the secret hidden in the cemetery, just like fate.
Sivana hesitated for a moment, but ultimately his tomb raider instincts prevailed. He shone his flashlight around the secret chamber, and after confirming there were no traps, he cautiously approached the altar.
Chapter 1538 The Appearance of Black Adam
At the four corners of the sarcophagus are four sculptures of Anubis. According to ancient Egyptian sacrificial traditions, Anubis was an extremely evil curse, representing a person whose death was also cursed.
Shivan was gripped by a strange anxiety: decades of tomb raiding had given him a supernatural intuition: whenever he sensed something was wrong, something terrible was about to happen.
He examined the altar repeatedly and finally discovered a trap and a gas pipe hidden under the statue, a common method used in ancient underground tombs.
After escaping the trap, his anxiety not only did not subside, but intensified.
Shyvana hurriedly retreated, stopping only at the exit, looking at the stone coffin beside her with a puzzled expression.
Unless he was mistaken, there must be some kind of magical trap hidden in the altar that could very well kill him, but he didn't want to give up easily. After much deliberation, he gritted his teeth, took out rubber bombs, and placed one on the sculpture and one on the sarcophagus.
For expert tomb raiders, using bombs to open coffins is a very low-level tactic, a desecration and blasphemy against the entire profession.
Unfortunately, he couldn't think of any other way.
After planting the bomb, he immediately left the sealed room. Thirty seconds later, a muffled thud was heard from below, followed by a fire explosion and crackling electrical sounds.
Various lights flashed at the entrance, and energy surged within; the atmosphere of violence could be felt from afar.
