Chapter 752 [Sacrifice]

Chen Xiaolian slowly carried his hands behind his back and led Li Sai and others back to the hill.

Although Li Sai and others were anxious to start the third phase of the task as soon as possible, seeing Chen Xiaolian looking leisurely, they could only follow him honestly and walk back step by step.

It’s not that Chen Xiaolian wanted to be too slow in this dungeon, but he can only walk now. The wings on the Queyue Five Light Armor were able to give him the ability to fly, but now he has lost control of it.

If Li Sai and others used their abilities or used props to quickly return to the hills, Chen Xiaolian could only take big steps and run back quickly, which would probably attract doubts at once.

In order to keep his personality from falling short, Chen Xiaolian could only act in an unpredictable and profound look and walk slowly.

After walking for more than ten minutes, several people walked under the hill. Along the way, Chen Xiaolian also listened to Li Sai to add all the details about this copy.

In the first phase, the two teams captured a total of six members of the Egyptian royal family. Although only two were needed for the next task, just in case, the others were taken to the desert in Aswan together as a backup.

Before each statue, there is a sarcophagus covered with spikes. Put the captured Egyptian royal family members into the sarcophagus, and the sarcophagus will automatically close. The spikes in the sarcophagus pierce the body of the sacrifice, and blood flows into the body of the statue along the grooves under the sarcophagus. The statue will begin to break, and after the stone shell on the surface falls off, the internal body will be exposed.

"We... really underestimated the difficulty of this dungeon." Li Sai led Chen Xiaolian through the crowd and walked to the center of the position on the hill.

There are six metal boxes on the ground, and behind the boxes is the sarcophagus that Li Sai just mentioned, with some broken stone shells scattered beside the sarcophagus.

"We originally thought we were just bosses." Li Sai added: "We prepared completely and surrounded the stone statue before sacrificed the Pharaoh's bloodline. But unexpectedly, after Anubis appeared, he carried the first round of attacks and fled the hill, and immediately summoned countless jackal-headed monsters with the same appearance as it. Although those monsters were not very strong, they were too many. As a result... we were trapped on this hill."

"Pharaoh's blood?" Chen Xiaolian looked at the six metal boxes: "Open."

"Yes!" Li Sai quickly stepped forward and lifted the lids of the six metal boxes one by one.

The first box was empty, and there was a person lying in the remaining five boxes. The five had dark skin colors, but they were completely different from black people. To be more precise, they should be close to chocolate color. Their facial features were between Europeans and Asians, with luxurious gold jewelry on their bodies and deep eyeshadows on their faces.

But the five people's eyes were closed and they were lying motionless in the box.

"Dead?" Chen Xiaolian frowned.

"No, no." Li Sai quickly shook his head and explained: "Each team obtained a soul gem when entering the dungeon. After capturing the royal family members, they must use the soul gem to absorb the other party's soul and leave a pure body to become a container for the gods to host. Their current body is still intact, but just an empty shell."

Chen Xiaolian's eyes swept over the five metal boxes in front of him.

The five are all adult men. Because of their simple clothes, they are naked and can see strong muscles.

"All of them are adult men?" Chen Xiaolian turned his head and looked at Li Sai: "Is this your chivalrous spirit?"

"No." Li Sai quickly shook his head and smiled: "How can we be so bored? It's just that the system marked the target, so we just went to capture it."

"So, are there anyone who is a member of the Egyptian royal family but is not marked as the mission target by the system?" Chen Xiaolian thought for a while and asked.

"Ah? This..." Li Sai was speechless for a moment. He had paid attention to such things before.

"Yes, Mr. Queyue." Dihuo didn't speak much after seeing Chen Xiaolian, but at this moment he suddenly snatched Li Sai's words and said quickly: "Although I didn't pay attention at that time, if I think about it carefully, it seems that the system only marked healthy adult men as the target.

After the temporary alliance, we exchanged the completion of the mission in the first phase. Our Star Lost Team captured two, and the Thorn Flower Group captured two. There were two other teams each captured one. In addition, five targets were killed in the battle and failed to capture alive. All of these objects were adult males. In the battle to raid the palace, we did meet other royal members, but they were not marked as mission targets by the system. Even..."

Dihuo thought for a while: "The Pharaoh who is now in power is also not marked as a target. And he... is an old man."

Chen Xiaolian nodded and did not continue to speak.

"Mr. Queyue, can we start?" Seeing that Chen Xiaolian had been asking some marginal questions and Dihuo was still answering in such detail, Li Sai was a little anxious.

"Are you so anxious to die?" Chen Xiaolian said coldly: "Anubis almost killed you just now. Now Horus, have you confident that you have beaten?"

"These players are often arrogant and stupid." Dihuo leaned closer to Chen Xiaolian: "Mr. Queyue, your wisdom is more powerful than yours. With your reminder, I have guessed how we should complete the task."

"Is that so? Tell me." Chen Xiaolian's face raised a faint smile.

"The bloodline of the Pharaoh must be the purest. If you sacrifice bloodline to the statue of God and only ask for bloodline, then the Pharaoh himself should be set as a target no matter what. Since there is not, it means that there must be other judgment conditions besides the bloodline. Now it seems that it should be age and gender." Dihuo talked happily: "God is often always picky. I think... maybe only a young and strong body can meet their coming needs."

Chen Xiaolian didn't say anything, just nodded slightly. But in the eyes of Dihuo, he was already very excited and continued: "So, I boldly guess... Only the physical body that meets the requirements can be enough to allow the possessed gods to display their perfect abilities. And if we can make these physical bodies marked for qualified targets not meet the requirements, we may be able to significantly reduce the combat effectiveness after the arrival of Horus!"

"Not bad. Much smarter than him." Chen Xiaolian smiled with satisfaction: "So, do you have the ability to do it?"

"Some!" Dihuo's eyes shone and he nodded repeatedly!

...

Lisai and Earth Fire have led the team to trek to another hill several kilometers away.

On this hill, there is also a statue more than five meters high.

Corresponding to Anubis' jackal head, Horus' statue is a figure of an eagle-headed human body. He also holds a scepter in his right hand and a circled cross talisman in his left hand.

Horus, the patron saint of Pharaoh in Egyptian mythology, the son of Osiris, the goddess of life, Isis, is a symbol of royal power, and is also a god of revenge.

Not far from the statue, there is a sarcophagus. Between the statue and the sarcophagus is a stone groove.

Now, five metal boxes have been placed in front of the sarcophagus, and other awakened people and players around have set up combat formations around them according to the arrangements of their respective leaders.

"Be careful and make it age as much as possible, but don't kill it!" Dihuo patted Alyosha's shoulders heavily, stared at her eyes tightly, and whispered: "Don't let our Xingluo team embarrass you in front of Mr. Queyue."

Although this big man doesn't plan to take action, it will never be a bad thing to increase his impression points in front of him.

"Don't worry, deacon." Alyosha nodded, and with a serious face, he squatted down in front of the first metal box and pressed his left hand on the man's chest.

"Alyosha is my capable team member. His ability is to greatly stimulate the potential of teammates in various aspects in battle and increase and strengthen them. Generally speaking, positioning is an auxiliary personnel, but when fighting in close combat, you can also absorb the opponent's vitality." Dihuo explained beside Chen Xiaolian, completely ignoring Li Sai's resentful gaze behind him: "In just a few minutes, this sacrifice can become old."

Although the biggest taboo in the Awakened World is to disclose your abilities, Dihuo no longer cared about it in order to show his honesty in front of Chen Xiaolian.

"Very good." Chen Xiaolian carried his hands on his back and looked at the offering in the metal box expressionlessly.

After Alyosha pressed his hand on the chest of the sacrifice, wrinkles immediately grew at a speed visible to the naked eye. His originally black hair began to turn gray, and his solid muscles quickly gradually shriveled like a balloon with leaks.

Less than five minutes later, the man lying in the box had completely transformed from a young man in his twenties to an old man with chicken skin and crane hair.

"Enough!" Dihuo quickly stopped Alyosha's life stealing: "If you suck it again, he will die!"

Alyosha stood up, saluted Chen Xiaolian, and retreated.

"It's time to start, Mr. Queyue." Dihuo smiled proudly at Chen Xiaolian: "There is no new copy prompt in the personal system, and he is still one of the targets of sacrifice."

"Very good." Chen Xiaolian nodded.

"Are you sure this will work?" Li Sai said with some resentment: "What if there is no effect? ​​After all, aging sacrifices will cause the boss's strength to decline, and that's just your guess!"

"Note your wording, Li Sai, this is not my guess, but Mr. Queyue's idea!" Dihuo glared at Li Sai: "What's more, even if it really doesn't work, do you think Mr. Queyue will sit back and watch? Since he can kill Anubis with one blow, of course he can also kill Horus with one blow."

After saying that, Dihuo immediately smiled at Chen Xiaolian: "Of course, Mr. Queyue, I firmly believe that your judgment will never go wrong."

"Let's go and do it." Chen Xiaolian smiled unpredictably and turned around and walked backwards.

"Wait, Mr. Queyue, where are you going?" Dihuo and Li Sai were stunned at the same time.

"I have already said that you should do it first. If it is really necessary, I will do it." Chen Xiaolian turned his head and smiled: "If you can't trust me, then forget it."

"How is that possible?" Dihuo and Li Sai quickly squeezed out smiles on their faces.

"That's fine. Let's start."

Chen Xiaolian walked steadily, and he always had a relaxed expression on his face, but he was still a little nervous after all.

Li Sai’s doubts were also his concern.

Although this judgment was made based on the content of the copy, Chen Xiaolian was not sure whether this method was effective.

If Horus is still as strong as Anubis after he arrives, he doesn't know what to do.

Li Sai and Dihuo looked at Chen Xiaolian's figure leaving. Although they felt a little weak, they were at least confident.

Such a powerful existence will never be empty talk!

"Okay, let's start."

The two people once again issued preparatory orders through their respective team channels, and then worked together to lift the sacrifice from the metal box.

Li Sai took out a soul gem from the storage equipment and pressed it into a groove in the center of the sarcophagus. With the sound of the princess' friction, the lid of the sarcophagus immediately opened automatically, revealing the bottom covered with spikes.

The offerings placed in the sarcophagus were only a faint breath as thin as a frizzy spring. It looked like it was already in its twilight years and could die at any time.

The two looked at each other, watched the coffin lid slowly slide back to its original position, and immediately retreated quickly and stood among the crowd of players who were already on guard.

A dark red blood flowed out of the small hole under the sarcophagus, fell into the stone trough, and flowed towards the base of the statue.

On the base of the statue, a strange rune pattern was engraved. The blood of the sacrifice flowed into the base, flowing up strangely, automatically filled with runes.

Not long after, the runes were filled. At that moment, the entire hill began to vibrate.

Cracked appeared on the surface of the statue, and then the shell began to fall off to the ground like molting.

"Who is it, sacrificed to me with the blood of the Pharaoh! Who is it, disturbing me forever...Ahem!!!"
