Chapter 66 Scarab
The interior of the pure black pyramid.
| ?)??There is still a pyramid inside.
Inside, a pure white inverted pyramid stands, which is completely different from the outside. This mysterious and unique structure seems to have descended from another world. It exudes an awe-inspiring atmosphere, making people wonder if it is really just an ordinary building.
It just stands there quietly, like a sleeping giant, waiting to be awakened.
"This looks a bit like Tutankhamun's tomb," Lin En curled his lips.
The space inside was not very large. Apart from the pure white upside-down pyramid, there was nothing else inside, such as the coffin of the princess buried with the deceased, the glittering treasure chest, the alabaster bottle, the black shrine...
Without these, it looks extremely shabby.
"This is... a scarab!"
Altoli stared at the inverted pyramid and saw many gem-like crystals on its pure white stone walls.
"Scarab!?"
Lin En knew that the prototype of the so-called scarab was nothing more than a mantis, which was a symbol of the god Khepri in ancient Egypt, representing rebirth and immortality. The people of ancient Egypt imagined that the sun was like a huge dung ball, which was pushed by a huge scarab to rise in the east and set in the west, symbolizing the cycle of all things and endless life...
"Still looking! Did you forget how you got infected with the 'Kiss of Death', little girl? It's because of this scarab."
Altori grabbed Violet.
Velvet: (っ???c) I just touched it slightly.
At that time, Wei Dong had reached a cooperative relationship with Altori and would assist him in collecting intelligence in the temple of the human circle. However, when exploring the temple of Osiris, the god of the underworld, Wei Dong accidentally found the remains of a scarab nearby.
Out of curiosity, Wei Dong put it in a pixel isolation box.
Since he was an illegal immigrant, there was no formal place to accommodate him. So at the invitation of "Eight", Wei Dong lived in Altoli's manor.
Ever since.
This resulted in Vilt, a child with a keen interest in knowledge, being infected with the "Kiss of Death".
"But, Altori, I remember that the scarabs should not be completely extinct! The other day, someone was shouting about the scarab punishment under the [Scales of Judgment]."
"If Violet was really infected because of this, then with your ability, it should be easy to get the antidote."
Lynn suddenly turned his gaze to her.
"It's very simple, because those so-called scarabs are fake." Altori answered slowly, "They are just inferior offspring containing scarab genes. They only have a bit of bloodthirsty characteristics. They are completely incomparable to real scarabs, and naturally do not have the toxin "Kiss of Death". "
"Mr. Lin... No, it should be Mr. Plague Doctor. With your ability, you should know that the 'Kiss of Death' is a kind of spore! These spores and the scarab have a symbiotic relationship."
Lin En stretched out one hand, and suddenly a gem crystal appeared on it.
"Really? Then let me practice it."
With a sudden force, the crystal shattered instantly.
“Brother Sijiu, what are you doing?”, Violet broke free from the restraints. She truly felt the pain of the ‘Kiss of Death’.
"Kaka! Kaka!"
It seems too late.
Suddenly, a sound similar to that of a shell moving its wings was heard in the dark space.
"Is it the mysterious level of Chijing alone?"
Lin En felt the movement in his hand, and saw that after the crystal shattered, a dark blue beetle was trying hard to drill into the gap in Lin En's palm and devour his flesh and blood. The insect looked very ferocious, and its body surface was flashing with strange light, as if it had some mysterious power.
However, Lynn did not panic. It was obvious that its power was not enough and it did not even scratch Lynn's skin.
The scarab soon realized this and spread its wings and flew towards Altoli.
"Violent feet"!
"Be merciful!"
Lynn stood between the two, fearing that Altoli would accidentally cut the cutie in half.
Immediately, he took out an item from the system space, and the scarab flew away quickly as if Hakimi saw its master.
"The Flower of Life and Death!?"
Altoli's tone was somewhat incredulous, she stared at the extremely gorgeous light blue water lily in Lin En's hand.
Its petals have an elegant and attractive light blue hue, like a soft cloud floating across the sky, but its beauty lies in the shape and texture of the petals.
Each petal is like a carefully carved work of art, with smooth and natural lines and slightly curled edges.
It goes on and on.
At this moment, the scarab was lying quietly in Lin En's palm, greedily absorbing the stem juice of the strange water lily.
"The Flower of Death and Life? Nice name."
As early as on the cruise ship of the Shangxie Society, Lin En fed a plant with his flesh and blood, and after a period of research, he was able to barely control it.
"Mr. Lin, can I see this flower?"
"You want to see it? No."
Altori: ………
"Dear Altori, I think we should all be honest with each other now, don't we?"
At this moment, Lynn had too many puzzles in his mind that needed to be solved. He finally got something that made Altoli excited, so how could he not ask?
After all...the price is mutual.
"Be honest!?"
Looking at Lynn's confused expression, a picture flashed through Altoli's mind.
"Okay...Okay." After hesitating for a moment, she chose to compromise, "But, are you going to stay here!?"
"Where else?"
"Virta, please turn your head for a moment."
"Oh."
Watching the white bandage dancing in Altori's hand...
"Wait!!!" Lynn sensed something was wrong and hurriedly explained that he just needed some answers.
Altori: ………(awkward)
Velvet: Stare! ! !
Is my Chinese not good enough? Why can I understand all the conversations between Sijiu and his friends, but I can't understand any of them!!!
.........
"Is Tutankhamun's tomb real? Why does it look nothing like this?"
Lynn asked the first question.
"Mr. Lin, what do you think it looks like? If it were placed in Daxia, what would the pyramid look like?" Altoli asked calmly, gently touching the pure white pyramid with her hand.
Lynn was silent for a second.
"Coffin."
That’s right, this pure white pyramid looks like an enormous coffin.
at the same time.
Next to the black stone wall inside, after hearing Vilt's exclamation, Ji Nian looked indifferent. She knew that Lin Sijiu would not do anything without certainty. Now, Ji Nian's eyes were on the murals carved on the black stone.
