Chapter 420: Chapter 186 The Immortal Pharaoh Old Wang_3

These beetles flew chaotically, igniting even more beetles like sources of fire.

After setting the fire, Lin Baici immediately retreated.

Zhi! Zhi! Zhi!

The sacred beetles screamed, and flames spread rapidly along the corridor.

"It’s all your fault!"

A young man grabbed Bian Xiang’s collar and roared at him with rage.

His girlfriend had just died in the chaos of their escape, unlucky enough to be caught by the beetles.

Shua!

A flash of the blade, and the young man’s right hand was severed.

"Ah!"

The young man screamed in agony.

"Next time watch where your claws go, don’t touch people recklessly!"

Bian Xiang huffed coldly.

Fei Xiao walked over, pushed hard against Bian Xiang’s chest, and pinned him against the wall, "If it weren’t for your meddling hand, we wouldn’t be in this mess!"

"And then what?"

Bian Xiang chuckled, "Are you going to kill me?"

"You think I don’t dare?"

Fei Xiao’s face was ferocious.

"Heh heh!"

Bian Xiang removed Fei Xiao’s hand and straightened his collar, "In such a situation, we need to pull together to survive!"

One more God Hunter, even if not united, could take some attention off from the monsters.

"This guy is so annoying!"

Hua Yue Yu was discontent.

"Is there a big BOSS here? Otherwise, why have those beetles stopped chasing us?"

Gu Qingqiu fixed her gaze ahead.

"Why not go and find out?"

Xia Hongyao charged ahead.

There was only one path anyway, no choice.

Soon, everyone passed through the several tens of meters long corridor and entered a grand and spacious hall.

The floor of the hall was covered with gold foil, which was dazzlingly bright, especially with the reflection of the oil lamp light on the walls.

The ceiling was too high to see, and on the walls around, there were all sorts of bizarrely posed relief murals.

To the north, there was a high platform with thirty-two steps leading up to it, upon which sat a throne made of gold and studded with gems.

A man, his body wrapped in white bandages and wearing a gold crown upon his head, was seated upon it, holding a black cat in his arms, slowly stroking its spine.

On his fingers, he wore gemstone rings the size of eggs.

"You lowlifes, upon seeing your king, why do you not kneel?"

The man spoke.

"Is this the strongest monster in these Divine Ruins?"

Gu Qingqiu looked curiously at the Pharaoh, carefully observing him.

"It should be!"

Fei Xiao took a deep breath, with the Third Research Division also here this time, if he could win, he would absolutely stand tall and proud.

"This one doesn’t seem to be a God, right?"

Lin Baici asked internally; he hadn’t forgotten that the Eater God said that these Divine Ruins were contaminated by a God, and from the looks of it, the Pharaoh seemed to be summoned by a Taboo thing.

[An ancient Egyptian Pharaoh, after death, was made into a mummy, with tens of thousands of people buried with him, along with uncountable amounts of gold and silver artifacts.]

[The murals depicted his entire life; he considered himself a God, yet he could not transcend life and death!]

Lin Baici turned his head to look at the paintings.

[That’s his true form, but killing him won’t lift the curse on you, the slave images in the paintings have to be destroyed!]

Upon hearing these words, Lin Baici frowned deeply.

"Slaves?"

The relief murals depicted people of all walks, merchants, civilians, warriors, slaves, all, without exception, submitting under the great glory of the Pharaoh.

"Captain Lin, Captain Fei, let’s fight. We’ve only got seven minutes left. If we don’t kill it, our curse won’t be lifted!"

Bian Xiang was very anxious.

Fei Xiao looked towards Lin Baici, waiting for him to speak up.

"You go ahead!"

Lin Baici spoke with malice, clearly not forgetting that this guy had been rash just a moment ago.

He had said, "Don’t touch it, just walk around," but this guy insisted on striking the statue with his sword, which caused them trouble.

Their recent escape had been brief, but more than twenty people had died, and the survivors were all in a pitiful state, covered in wounds from insect bites.

"Captain Lin, don’t be stubborn over a small issue and risk losing everything!"

Bian Xiang tried to persuade him.

"You’ve been in this temple longer than us and were cursed quicker, so now you have even less time before the curse takes effect!"

Lin Baici smiled, "If you don’t try hard to fight the boss, then I’ll just have to watch you die!"

Bian Xiang’s face changed. He feared Lin Baici would notice this, which is why he had added a few extra minutes when talking about the remaining time. He didn’t expect Lin Baici to be so difficult to deceive.

"The difference in our time is only a few minutes at most. If I can’t kill the boss, do you dare guarantee you can deal with it in a few minutes?"

Bian Xiang threatened.

"Yeah, let’s take down the boss first!"

Fang Tianhua felt confident that with so many people, they didn’t need to fear Bian Xiang’s dirty tricks.

"Shut up!"

Fei Xiao glared at Fang Tianhua. If you’ve got no brains, better keep quiet.

"Don’t bother yourself about it; if we can’t beat it, then so be it, I’ll just die!"

Lin Baici shrugged his shoulders.

Bian Xiang was furious, seeing that he couldn’t persuade Lin Baici, he turned to Fei Xiao: "He doesn’t understand, are you crazy following him?"

"I’ve made it this far thanks to Lin’s great effort. I’ll listen to him!"

Throughout their journey, Lin Baici had performed so brilliantly that Fei Xiao was willing to trust his judgment.

"You..."

Bian Xiang was so angry he felt like spitting blood, and his expression instantly twisted into a snarl: "Then I’ll slaughter you first!"

Whoosh!

This statement startled everyone.

"Come and try!"

Lin Baici beckoned with his hand.

In the end, Bian Xiang didn’t have the confidence to wipe out everyone; with no choice, he lunged at the Pharaoh alone.

Compelled by the curse, he had to fight with all he had.

"Peasants, daring to challenge my majesty, die!"

The Pharaoh, holding the Black Cat, charged at Bian Xiang.

"Everyone, back off, stick to the wall, don’t get dragged in."

Lin Baici urged everyone to move toward the wall, leading the way.

In reality, this was just an excuse; his goal was to reach the frescoes.

Everyone hurried to follow.

"Are we really going to stand by and do nothing?"

Fang Tianhua was worried: "Will there be enough time?"

Fei Xiao actually had the same doubt.

"On these frescoes, there should be bas-reliefs of you all. Find them!"

Lin Baici reminded in a low voice.

"What?"

Fang Tianhua was baffled. What did that mean?

"You mean..."

Gu Qingqiu was quick to react and very clever. Worried that Bian Xiang might overhear the rest of her thought, she didn’t say it and just urged, "Let’s go!"

Gu Qingqiu took Xia Hongyao by the arm.

"What for?"

Xia Hongyao was still clueless.
