Chapter 192: Just the Beginning

Chapter 192 · Just the Beginning

When his feet touched the ground, a familiar feeling emerged in Jiang Yu's heart.

He felt as if he had just returned to the second reincarnation journey, stepping onto the Noshimo spacecraft in World 2, facing those aliens with unknown combat power and specifications with a nervous and expectant mood.

The enemy is definitely not weak, and has unknown backhands and details.

But he is not weak either.

Even if a large part of his power is suppressed by the Lord God, he can still easily defeat the group of hostile soldiers in front of him. And even the powerful Scorpion King, who can theoretically be on par with Hercules, may not be his opponent at this moment.

Probably, perhaps.

Holding the Spear of Judgment in his hand, he continued to move forward with the Shield of the Round Table. Several Theban soldiers dodged on their own initiative. And the Scorpion King's army that blocked him was thrown away like a bug.

Go forward.

Brave warriors appeared in front of him one after another.

However, whether they fight alone, in groups of three or five, or even form a formation, trying to attack me with the advantage of numbers. I am not afraid.

What if the enhancement is limited?

What if the energy pool and physical fitness are greatly reduced, and even cannot be fully adapted to the armor?

My gene lock realm is not false. And even if I don’t open the gene lock, the biological perception formed by the vibration can clearly gather all the surrounding information into my heart.

—— There are six in front and three on the side.

The warriors rushed with long spears, and the spears were all broken under the hard surface of the round table shield. Every strike of the swinging spear of judgment can bring one or more blood flowers. And the warriors who tried to rush over from the side and attack with a sledgehammer and axe, even if they succeeded in hitting, they would definitely not be able to break the defense of the Terminator armor.

But Jiang Yu didn’t intend to let them hit.

It’s not a bad thing that the enhancement is suppressed. At least in this way, the energy in his body can be controlled more finely. The abundant resource reserves brought by foresight have made him accustomed to spending lavishly in battle. So, before this habit becomes a weakness, it is not ineffective to experience the feeling of being thrifty.

Move sideways, feeling the subtle changes in every muscle fiber in his body.

Feel the fine deviation of this ill-fitting armor on his body.

Correct them, guide them, so that even at this time, they can still exert the maximum combat power they should have.

Body, move horizontally one foot.

Several swords and axes that were originally impossible to break the defense brushed the large air in front of the armor.

It doesn't seem to be very difficult.

The spear in Jiang Yu's hand turned, and death was the only outcome for this group of attackers. He clearly sensed that in addition to the front and side, there were also warriors waving weapons behind him attacking him. However, they didn't need to be taken care of by him at all.

Because Xia dealt with them.

Xia was like a shadow, quietly following behind him. After she was given the responsibility of long-range bombardment and spellcasting, she became taciturn... No, it's not that she became taciturn, but that she spent too much time on research and development and training. And Xia... never got close to anyone other than herself.

——Xia is very happy now.

Jiang Yu thought. His third-order gene lock can help her clearly feel Xia's excited heart-in this enhanced suppression by the Lord God, only Xia's power loss was the weakest. Because her Qigong was only exchanged for C-level, and the B-level Qigong, which is ten times the basic C, comes from the cooperation of her and her double cultivation.

Now, Xia's combat power in the Zhongzhou team may be ranked fourth... or even third.

And compared to hiding far away, using artillery and spells to provide support for herself. Fighting shoulder to shoulder with me is definitely more in line with Xia's inner wishes.

——I really should accompany her more.

Jiang Yu exhaled gently, feeling Xia's heartbeat, Xia's pace-her body and mind are always synchronized with his. If he moves forward, she will surely follow accurately.

The Scorpion King is not far ahead. Just like the initial plot in the movie, several brave Theban warriors have fallen under the sword and shield of this warrior - he clearly looked at Jiang Yu, just as Jiang Yu also looked at him directly.

——Magnetic field rotation, 4,600 horses.

The biggest advantage of magnetic field rotation is that it can provide power and speed far beyond the same level enhancement at a low level. Even if Jiang Yu can't even do the first level at the moment, his burst speed still reaches the critical point of subsonic speed.

One cut.

Blood spurted out from the throat of the Scorpion King.

Jiang Yu was very sure that he did not exert enough fatal force in the previous attack. Of course, he knew that he could kill the Scorpion King in front of him with one blow, but he didn't want to do it immediately.

But the Scorpion King still died.

When he failed, he died - even if he failed five thousand years ago, he didn't die immediately.

The burly body fell to the ground. The breath of life passed away quickly and unstoppably.

Before the ancient warrior died, he said something that was like a proverb in the world view of The Mummy.

"Death is just the beginning."

He died.

His subordinates did not panic or flee, and their morale did not collapse because of the death of their monarch.

They just fought and fought continuously. Until the Theban defenders, who were stronger than them, killed them all.

The battle was over.

The branch given by the Lord God and the trial created by the gods did not end there.

The sun in the sky gradually moved, and the corpses lying on the ground gradually misted under the sun. It disintegrated into large pieces of black smoke, drifting in all directions that the reincarnationists could not reach.

……………………

Chu Xuan walked into the central temple-no one stopped him along the way. He had some small but complicated interactions with the residents of this city. And the result of the interaction was to verify some of his conjectures.

This is not the past, not five thousand years ago. This world has a fixed height of the sky, a fixed depth of the earth, and a fixed and distant border. The reincarnationists have no way to leave, and they can't get support from outside the battlefield of Thebes.

This is not real. People are living creatures who can breathe, talk, sing and dance, but they cannot think. They only follow fixed rules to do fixed things. Even if their companions die in front of them, the actions they take will not exceed the expectations of the reincarnationists.

This is not an illusion - the touch, the rule constants, and even the protection of the gods still exist. The physical order still exists, and running a theoretically unsolvable equation will not cause the world to crash and overload - there is no doubt that this is a half-plane, an independent space, a trial wilderness where rules and order are all based on the will of Anubis.

"Death is just the beginning." Chu Xuan gently pushed his glasses, even if he was not on the front line. When the Scorpion King died, the same words appeared in his throat at the same time.

"This is the domain of Anubis, and the power of Anubis will be manifested in the form of death."

His footsteps echoed in the temple, and his sight wandered in the temple - there were no secret treasures or mechanisms in the great temple that the reincarnationists needed to guard in the main mission, nor were there any girls or boys with abnormal behavior.

There are only nine things in the temple.

Those are nine statues, belonging to the nine pillars of the Egyptian mythology system. Sun, wind, rain, earth, sky, death, life, Hades, storm. The nine gods quietly occupy nine different positions. The only thing missing is Anubis, who should be the local host.

Anubis is not here.

The reincarnations are required to defend this place.

So, does this mean that the Scorpion King's ultimate goal will also be to capture this place?

Chu Xuan pushed his glasses. At this moment, he may have seen through everything represented and hidden here. The only thing missing is the solution to break the deadlock.

"Li Shuaxi." He suddenly spoke, not through the communication channel, but asked directly: "Do you hate me?"

Li Shuaxi, who had been following him silently, stiffened for a moment.

Farther away, Zhan Lan and Zhao Yingkong quietly pricked up their ears.

"Nothing." After a moment of stiffness, Li Shuaxi shook his head vigorously. "You gave me strength and shelter. You have taken care of me and helped me in many places. I am only grateful to you."

"But I have never given you dignity." Chu Xuan's voice was still flat. "It's not that I can't understand the feelings of experimental animals. I also know that you don't expect to be a simple bodyguard, but have your own ideas and wishes. It's reasonable for you to hate me, and this does not conflict with your gratitude."

"...No." Li Shuaixi's answer did not change.

"Dignity needs to be obtained by yourself, and shame also needs to be washed away by yourself." Chu Xuan's voice was neither hurried nor slow.

However, the content in it was like thunder.

"You have a chance to kill me now."

Zhan Lan opened his eyes wide and covered his mouth subconsciously.

"Besides, you don't have to worry about being liquidated afterwards. Others will understand and forgive this behavior. And this is the promise and judgment I can give."

Silence-silence lasted for a long time of several seconds.

At this moment, Chu Xuan, who was suppressed and strengthened, was indeed as fragile as an ordinary person. Perhaps just one blow could break his neck.

Li Shuaxi's fingers trembled.

He seemed to want to do something, to say something. But in the end, he did nothing.

He just lowered his head, standing behind Chu Xuan as usual, like a shadow.

He gave up this opportunity.

"Hey, why are you walking so fast?" Zhan Lan finally couldn't help but burst into a bubble, interrupting the silence and silence. "What were you discussing just now? There seems to be nothing here."

Li Shuaxi remained silent.

And Chu Xuan just gently pushed his glasses.

"It's just an immature guess." His tone did not change as usual. "Don't worry, it's not something valuable."

"Uh... tell me in detail?" Zhan Lan looked like a curious baby. Zhang Jie was still fishing outside the temple, and Zhao Yingkong also quietly walked behind her.

"It's better not to say it." Chu Xuan's eyes were cast into the distance outside the temple. "If we speak out, the consequences will be serious...so serious that this Samsara team may not be able to bear it."

"Even if death is just the beginning."

Just the beginning.

When the first day ended and the sun of the second day fell, the Scorpion King and his army once again appeared in the wilderness outside the city of Thebes.

From the Scorpion King himself to the ordinary soldiers, everyone's fighting power was twice as strong as the day before.
