Chapter 52 The Man in the Bronze Mask
The high priest stood behind the crowd, looking at their helpless expressions gloomily, with a happy arc on his lips.
Lin Guihe's peripheral vision happened to meet his gaze, and at that moment, the clues in his mind suddenly connected.
Although everything below is an illusion, the word "Ju Xi" is obviously not groundless.
Perhaps this tomb is the tomb of someone from the long-extinct Juxi civilization, and judging from the shape, it should be that of a high-ranking person.
After the Juxi civilization dissipated, this tomb was discovered by someone by some unknown coincidence. Not only that, that person also resurrected the entire tomb.
Therefore, there are things in the Gu Village that should have appeared in this tomb group that should have been five thousand years ago, and should not have appeared here, such as the woman wearing the red bell before.
Liu Yun struggled to drag Bi Li out of the water to the shore, but as soon as he came out, he was attacked by the giant dragon.
The giant dragon seemed to want to throw them into the water, but Lin Guihe used his mahogany sword to force them back, but soon the giant dragon came forward again.
Lin Guihe gritted his teeth. Normally, he would be able to deal with this giant dragon, but now that his strength is suppressed by the system, it would be more difficult to suppress this giant dragon.
And after fighting for such a long time, he was almost reaching his limit, and he was afraid he wouldn't be able to hold on for much longer.
After his spell failed again, he saw that the high priest had smiled in victory, as if he could already see their death.
At this moment, Lin Guihe suddenly thought of something. His hands were stained with blood and he drew a spell in the air. When the spell was completed, the high priest noticed something was wrong.
Sure enough, the spell fell on the giant dragon, and the dragon struggled painfully.
Lin Guihe's eyes lit up, it really worked!
He drew several more talismans in the same way, and the talisman circled the dragon siege in the air. The dragon twisted in the circle, and roared in pain when its limbs touched the talisman.
He breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, although the system suppressed his own power, it did not suppress the high priest's power.
Although he can't use his own abilities, he can copy the high priest's witchcraft.
The system probably didn't expect that he would even think of using this method.
The dragon was trapped in the spell. It roared and hit the spell. Although it was painful, it did not give up.
It only hit it in one direction, and the talisman was slightly tilted by the impact. I'm afraid it won't be able to hold up for long.
Several people did not dare to stay where they were, and quickly looked for other ways out, but there were no other ways out around here. Apart from this underground river, there was only the city.
Although they had just come out of the city, all the skeletons in the city had gathered here, and it was completely empty, so there was no danger.
Moreover, the giant dragon made so many moves outside just now, but did not approach the city. It seemed that there was nothing in the city that it was extremely afraid of.
Lin Guihe made up his mind, took Zhu Zhen's hand, and said to Liu Yun and others: "Go to the imperial city, that giant dragon cannot enter the city."
Liu Yun picked up Bi Li and rushed towards the imperial city. The high priest wanted to stop him, but Lin Guihe held him in place with a talisman. By the time he broke free from the talisman, Zhu Zhen and the others had already arrived at the gate of the city.
He quickly followed them into the city.
The city has completely changed its appearance. The shops are still the same, but there is only one layer on the surface, and the inside is empty, as if it was specially built to build an empire of the undead.
The two floors inside were, as Bi Li once said, turned into burial pits, and the large and small mansions turned into pits filled with gold, silver and jewelry.
Soon they arrived at the Imperial City. The huge Imperial City was a huge tomb that looked like a palace, and it was also the main tomb of the entire tomb.
Entering the imperial city, passing through the central street, there are various palaces on both sides. When you reach the innermost part, you will find the most luxurious and conspicuous palace in the entire imperial city.
On the nine-story high steps, the palace door is wide open. Standing below, you can see from a distance a huge coffin placed in the center of the palace.
That should be the owner of this tomb.
They walked around the temple and didn't see any exits. Behind them, the high priest had already caught up.
Behind him were the skeletons who had recovered their flesh and blood, and each of them looked at Zhu Zhen and them with ferocious faces.
Especially when he saw several people walking up the nine steps, the high priest was filled with resentment and wished he could eat their flesh and drink their blood alive.
He waved his hand, and the skeletons slowly came forward and tightly surrounded the palace.
While casting spells and seals in his hands, the huge seals headed towards them.
Several people hurriedly dodged, and saw that the spell was about to enter the dormitory, and then suddenly disappeared in the air, as if they were reluctant to hurt the dormitory at all.
Zhu Zhen's eyes suddenly lit up and he said to Lin Guihe: "Burn the palace."
Lin Guihe didn't ask why, he threw out a charm in his hand, and a huge fire instantly ignited in the dormitory.
When the high priest saw the flames, his eyes were red with anger. He didn't care about the rituals or Zuzhen's group, and rushed straight into the sea of fire.
All he could see was the dormitory hall and the coffins inside the hall, which were filled with fire.
The fire burned all the flesh on his body, but he didn't care at all and kept running towards the coffin.
Chu Zhen and others hurriedly ran down the nine steps, but were blocked by the resurrected people.
But they just stopped, and their eyes were fixed on the palace behind them.
Except that he had an ominous premonition, he subconsciously clenched Lin Guihe's hand, and his palms became sweaty.
Looking behind him, he saw a dignified man wearing a bronze mask and a black robe with gold threads slowly walking out of the firelight.
In his arms he still held the body of the high priest, which was almost reduced to ashes.
As he walked out of the palace step by step, the flames in the palace gradually became smaller until they were completely extinguished.
He placed the high priest in the open space, holding a rattle in his hand and shaking it gently.
A light golden light shone on the rattle, and the next second, the body of the high priest, which had been burned and almost turned into ashes, suddenly began to condense again.
From bones to flesh and blood, he turned back into that monstrous man with a handsome face.
But Zhu Zhen's eyes were completely attracted by the rattle in his hand.
This rattle is exactly the same as the one on the mural!
