Chapter 119: Being Played
It's a bit strange that Death's spokesperson actually makes a joke. Fortunately, our mental endurance is pretty good.
Anubis then said to us: "The joke is over, let's give the reward now. You should have received the scarab reward, and my reward is more affordable. Accept it."
Following Anubis's voice, a black crystal stone appeared in front of me. I reached out and caught the crystal stone. After checking its properties, I found that it was a type of magic pet egg just like the angel crystal. There is some kind of creature sealed in this crystal, which should be used as a magic pet egg. The reward magic pet egg is the best reward in any mission. I didn't expect Anubis to be so generous.
"What kind of creature is this?" I asked Anubis while looking at the crystal.
"If you want to know, put a drop of blood on it and see for yourself." Anubis's voice was full of expectation.
I nodded, then put the crystal stone on the ground, cut my finger and dripped a drop of blood on it. Originally, I should be very cautious about accepting a magic pet, but since this is a gift from Anubis, it shouldn't be too bad, so I boldly took a gamble this time.
As soon as the blood dripped onto the crystal, it immediately seeped into it, and then with a pop, the crystal exploded. Before I could realize what was going on, a cloud of black gas suddenly escaped from the exploding crystal. The black air quickly condensed and gathered in front of me, forming a small mummy. This mummy seemed to be a mummy made after the death of a child. It was less than one meter tall when standing on the ground and was in tatters all over. I can't think of any other word to describe this little thing other than "weak".
"What is this?" Ling looked at the little mummy and asked without asking.
Xiaochun reminded me more directly: "Look at the subordinate's 'nature', maybe he just looks weak."
Everyone believes that Anubis will definitely not be rubbish, but seeing that Anubis just made a bad joke on us, we are not sure now. After opening the properties, I was completely stunned. The prompt information shows that this thing is called a guardian mummy, and I have read all its attributes. None qualified. His current image is actually still at level 898. According to the overall combat power evaluation, it is probably very difficult to defeat a monster at level 50. Even the half-baked summoning technique I extorted from the Dark Temple to create the White Skeleton is more powerful than this guy. What's even more disgusting is that he is actually a combat-type creature without auxiliary abilities. After reading the attributes, I only had one thought in my mind - I was fooled.
"Your Highness Anubis." I tried my best to suppress my temper. "Can you give me a reasonable explanation?"
"Explanation?" Anubis's voice was full of pride. "Is there anything you need to explain?"
"The familiar you gave me is rubbish."
"Did I tell you how powerful the magic pet I gave you is? I just informed you that the prize is a magic pet. As for accepting him, that's your own choice. I didn't force you."
Now I finally understand why this Anubis is the spokesman of death. His character is really too devilish, except for being the spokesperson of the God of Death. No one has such a bad character. Fortunately, I can carry a lot of magic pets, so even if I waste one position, it won't be a big problem. Besides, although this mummy is small, it is still defined as a humanoid magic pet, and it can carry two magic pets, so it's not too bad. .
Just as I was gnashing my teeth in hatred towards Anubis, Anubis's voice suddenly sounded again. "are you angry?"
"I'm not angry because it doesn't make any sense." I replied calmly.
"Hahahaha. Yes, yes, you are indeed the one I like. You passed the test this time."
"Ah? What kind of test?"
Anubis's voice explained carefully: "Giving you a prize is actually a third stage of testing. After the second stage tests your mental endurance, in the name of giving out rewards, you relax your mental alert, and then Give you a major blow and use it to test your crisis response and rational thinking abilities."
"You mean what you just said was all a test of me?"
"right."
"Can I return this little one?"
Anubis's voice wiped away the joking tone just now. He said very majestically: "Don't underestimate this thing. He is indeed not very strong, but that's because you didn't really activate him. If others get it, they can use it as an ordinary magic pet, but I think if you use it, it will definitely not be better than the giant magic pet." The dragon is not the least bit inferior to the color."
"How to start it?"
"Just use skill transfer."
"Transmission?" I opened my skill list and looked at it. "I don't have this skill!"
"As long as he is his master, he will naturally have this skill, but it is a hidden skill. You can't feel it, just activate it directly."
"You're not kidding me again, are you?" Anubis's behavior was really terrible, and I no longer knew which ones were truth and which were lies.
"Of course I'm not kidding you, come on and try it."
Under Anubis's urging, I finally turned on this skill. Unexpectedly, it was not on the list, but it was actually activated when I called it out. With a bang, hellfire more than one meter high suddenly burst out from my body. There was a sudden thunder in the sky, and then large dark clouds began to gather above my head. After these dark clouds gathered together, they began to rotate clockwise. A vague whirlwind was gradually forming below the clouds. At the same time, the dark clouds in the sky were getting thicker and thicker. The desert that was still blazing just now suddenly became as dark as night.
"What's going on?" I suddenly found that the evil dragon guardian ring couldn't help but activate itself, and a large amount of evil mist began to spread in the surrounding space. The energy level, which was originally reduced due to light problems, has now become even lower. Purple mist is floating around, and there are thick clouds in the sky. This place is almost like hell.
At this moment, a sound like crying suddenly came from my body. The sound seemed to come from many people. And there are men and women. My demon pets all focused their attention on me, and I quickly waved my hand: "I didn't call you."
Ling ran over and put his ear to my chest to listen. "The sound seems to come from inside your body."
Ye Yue said: "Is this the sound of the legendary ghost crying?"
Ling nodded: "It sounds similar to the prison of wronged souls before in the Dark Temple."
As the strange cry grew louder and louder. The hell flame in my body also began to beat gradually. The beating flame became more and more restless, and suddenly the flame began to twist violently, vaguely seeming to form a terrifying human face. This man's face was open and his mouth was crying, and the image was very scary. At the same time, the ghostly crying sound became louder and louder.
The twisted human face formed by the flame cried for a while and then suddenly disappeared. However, the flame did not calm down, but moved even more violently. The entire flame turned into countless half-length humanoid shapes, which seemed to be planning to emerge from my body. These guys only have the upper half of their bodies. Their rear parts are connected to the flames, while the front parts are trying to struggle out of the flames.
Anubis's voice suddenly intervened. "I didn't expect there to be so many innocent souls in you. You've become more prosperous this time."
Before I understood what Anubis meant, there was a sudden flash above my head, and a blue-purple light beam shot straight into the sky. A few seconds later, another beam of the same color shot down in the sky. The lustful light beam hit the little mummy directly.
A prompt sounded in my ears: "Transmission begins. Please try not to go offline or use any skills."
All the flames on my body rolled straight up along the light beam, and the whirlwind in the sky began to gradually strengthen, and the prototype of a tornado could already be seen. The human figures struggling in the hell flames on my body all rolled up with the flames, were 'shot' into the sky along the light beam, and then howled and 'shot' down from the light beam on the other side and fell into the little mummy's body. Body.
Almost every soul that rushes into the little mummy will shake, and because there are so many innocent souls falling, it shakes very quickly, as if it was electrocuted, but as each soul enters, it will grow bigger. , I can even see that his body is gradually getting fuller, no longer shriveled and broken.
A number composed of red flames suddenly appeared next to the little mummy, but this number was not stable. It was constantly rolling like a horse watch, and the number was getting bigger and bigger. I quickly guessed that the thing was showing the number of souls absorbed by the little mummy, and I could see it beating like crazy. The little mummy is gradually stretching out from the ground as the numbers beat. He is growing taller. All the rags on his body are broken, but a layer of black appears under the cloth. Something like armor.
When this little mummy had grown to be as big as me, it stopped growing, but the beam of light continued to pour the souls of injustice into his body. Anubis said in surprise after the little mummy had grown to my size: "How many people have you killed? Why are there so many innocent souls? This does not match the prediction!"
