Hogwarts, a Scholar Becomes a God

When Imhotep waved the spear in his hand and lightly touched the fog in front of him.

The faint golden-red radiance was like the rising sun, dispersing the white fog in an instant.

A vast oasis that was not supposed to appear in the desert, like a tropical rainforest, appeared in the distorted light and shadow.

When the target appeared, Yinhetian didn't say anything and took a step towards the mirage-like scenery.

At this step, since he was at the end of the world, his whole person became ethereal, as if he had been squeezed into another twisted world.

Clark and others did not dare to delay, and quickly followed him and squeezed in.

Everyone's bodies felt weightless for a moment, as if they were on a wildly accelerating roller coaster, but soon they felt they had stepped onto a solid ground.

The fresh air passed through their mouths and noses, and poured into their trachea and lungs. With the dense water vapor and scent of grass and trees unique to the forest, it instantly dispelled the boredom of being in the desert just now.

Obviously, this is no longer the desert in southern Egypt.

Clark and the others raised their heads. What appeared in front of them was a circular oasis surrounded by mountains. The dark mountains were as dark as ink, as if they merged with the thick night sky above their heads. Only the pyramid in the center of the oasis was brilliant and bright. tall.

At the top of the pyramid, a cold white light gathered, like a small bright moon, providing light to the creatures in the entire oasis.

As soon as they entered here, before Clark and the others could stand still, a dazzling white light shot out from the light group at the top of the pyramid, shining on Clark and the others.

Sen Bai's cold ray, with absolute low temperature and enough chill to freeze the soul, completely locked the group of people.

Faced with the sudden attack, Yinhetian was not surprised. He just recited the sacred words in the "Black Book of the Dead" calmly. Along with the awkward voice, the eight black tentacles behind him twisted and entangled, It instantly turned into a hideous and terrifying giant mouth, swallowing up the rays shot from the top of the pyramid silently.

"It seems...the owner here doesn't seem to welcome us!" Laura saw this and made a joke.

Imhotep opened his mouth to explain to them.

"Although Anubis has fallen into annihilation due to Ragnarok, the power he left behind also has considerable power. Even just a trace of divine power also has spirituality and can respond spontaneously. enemy.

This is the same as the stress response in humans. It senses the hostility of us intruders and will naturally not be lenient. "

While he was talking, the beam of light kept shining over him, but the huge black mouth behind Yinhe Tian refused to reject anyone. After doing this several times, the beam of light never emitted again.

Without the attack of this long-range defense system, Clark and the others followed Imhotep closely, following the traces he walked towards the pyramid in the center of the oasis.

There were five of them, with Yinhetian leading the way holding a golden divine spear and the Black Book of the Dead.

Then came Laura, who was holding a dogleg knife and a pistol, and Hermione, who was holding a magic book. As for Clark, who was empty-handed, and Neville, who was holding a dagger, walked at the back, responsible for covering and guarding.

Oh, by the way, besides them, there is also a guy who is not a human being, that is the Voodoo wizard.

He actually didn't want to enter here with Clark and the others, so he didn't say anything along the way to reduce his sense of presence.

However, when Clark entered the oasis, he also took with him the voodoo doll that entrusted his soul.

This thing was related to his life, so he naturally couldn't remain indifferent. He could only control his body, which had been refined into a resurrected corpse, to keep up.

Along the way, although everyone was fully armed and had magic and wizards, the progress was still not smooth.

In this primeval rainforest that had existed for who knows how long, there were many dangers that they could not imagine.

As a primitive jungle that has never been set foot in by mortals, there are no roads for people to walk in it.

Clark and the others had only been moving forward for a short time when their path was directly blocked by vines, trees and weeds, and they had to rely on weapons to chop down the way.

In addition, the terrain has also changed from flat to steep, precipitous and beautiful. Along the way, you can see evergreen vines winding like snakes, hanging down from high places. There are also various tree roots, shrubs and vines at your feet, and even some are covered with grass. Swamp trap with fallen leaves.

As soon as I stepped on it, the mud was directly up to my knees. If no one helped me, I would have to sink deeper and deeper in a feeble struggle.

In addition to the difficulty of walking, because the air in the jungle is extremely humid, everyone's bodies are also sticky, and breathing is also very difficult.

Moreover, lush plants and humid and dark environments also encourage the growth of tropical poisonous insects.

Neville stamped out a leech that was about to crawl onto his ankle, and then waved his palm to disperse the poisonous mosquitoes that were surrounding him, as dark as a dark cloud.

There is still the presence of Khotan, and the cursed aura exuding from his body makes the poisonous insects and snakes dare not approach, otherwise they are afraid that they will face more poisons.

But even so, it took them a full half hour, but they had only advanced a short distance. The straight-line distance may not be one thousand meters. At this speed, they may not be able to get there before dawn. In front of a pyramid.

"It seems we have to speed up the progress," Imhotep, who was walking at the front, suddenly said, "The places we passed along the way were lush with vegetation. Although there seemed to be no traces, the vegetation in some places was so fresh. .”

"What does this mean?" Clark asked.

"It means that they were all spawned by the divine power of Anubis. Only in this way can those plants be so delicate and green." Yinhetian said decisively, his eyes like lightning.

“He wants to slow us down!

After all, this place is caught between the underworld and the real world. When night comes, it will be close to the real world and attract the souls of the dead. When the sun rises, this place will be excluded from the Yang world and close to the underworld.

And at that time, Anubis's divine power deep into the underworld will be able to exert greater power.

Please be careful later, there may be trouble waiting for us ahead! "

After saying that, Imhotep took the lead and quickened his pace. Rolling yellow sand spread forward from his feet. The ground along the way was dry and cracked, and the bushes began to wither and even break and fall.

It was as if all the places passed by the yellow sand had been drained of moisture.

Even those poisonous insects are no exception.

Clark and the others followed him closely, stepping on the sand and moving forward quickly. However, soon, the trouble Imhotep mentioned came as promised.

With the rustling sound coming from their ears, Clark and the others noticed that something seemed to be starting to appear in the surrounding jungle.

"what is that?"

Hermione shouted, and everyone looked forward. They could vaguely see a winding road in the jungle ahead.

There seemed to be something hanging on both sides of the road.

When the team took a closer look, they discovered that they were cages made of rattan. Inside the cages, there were several piles of decayed bones.

"Looks like there are some cannibals here."

Clark noticed that the skeletons were very similar to humans, and they were still wearing the remains of ancient armor, which seemed to be very old.

Laura, who specializes in history, looked at the details and speculated: "These skeletons are soft and must have been dead for hundreds of thousands of years. Combined with their armor styles, there is no doubt that these are soldiers from when ancient Rome ruled Egypt. .”

On the side, Imhotep also used his abilities as a high priest and medical scientist to comment on the preservation techniques of these skeletons from a professional perspective.

“These people who left behind skeletons seemed to use human bones as decorations and totems.

It can be seen from the skulls stuck on sticks around us that they have strong religious and ritual features.

However, it can also be seen that the skeletons they can obtain are limited, and there seem to be no other living creatures in this oasis.

So much so that they had to vigorously develop bone preservation technology, and the bones that were mistakenly inserted into them and then eaten clean by them were preserved as lifelike.

This technology has surpassed most ancient civilizations... I don't know if they figured it out by themselves or if it was given by Anubis. "

"This is somewhat similar to voodoo, but it looks more ancient and backward..."

The voodoo wizard opened a tree hole that was blocking the way, pointed at the skulls piled up into a wall inside and said:

"This head shrinking technique is a symbol of our native African voodoo. The shaman decocts the herbal medicine to shrink the skull for easier preservation, so that it can be made into materials and instruments for performing witchcraft."

Clark endured the discomfort, while watching this cruel and barbaric scene, he analyzed what they said:

"In other words, among the cannibal tribes here, there are not only indigenous warriors who are agile and good at hiding, but also have spellcasters who are good at ancient African voodoo witchcraft?"

Yinhetian nodded and sighed:

“Those guys should be the original indigenous tribes who migrated here and believed in Anubis.

It's a pity that with the arrival of Ragnarok, Anubis gave up here, so they gradually became neither human nor ghosts in this ghost place. "

He looked around at the silent jungle around him, and suddenly raised his hand, and a sand spear shot out from the yellow sand under his feet, penetrated the trunk of a thick tree, and nailed a dwarf hiding in the forest to the trunk. superior.

These little guys have dark skin, are smeared with oil paint, and are covered with ferocious bone spurs. They don't look like humans at all, but they are more or less similar to house elves.

"Be careful, it's a resurrected corpse!" the voodoo wizard who had been following Clark and the others couldn't help but remind him, "This is a method used by voodoo wizards to prepare voodoo warriors, and it is also called a reanimated corpse."

"Looking at them like this, I prefer to call them resurrected dolls." Laura looked at the little monster struggling on the sand spear and turned into ashes, and she was still in the mood to joke.

However, the voodoo wizard looked serious.

"Don't underestimate them. It's in Lord Imhotep's hands that they are so easy to deal with.

The method of making a resurrected corpse is extremely cruel. It requires suppressing the consciousness of a living person, and then using highly toxic witchcraft medicine, combined with blood sacrifice and other witchcraft methods, to refine it into a corpse that has no pain, is not afraid of death, and has a mutated body. The living dead.

The general power of resurrected corpses is because the witchcraft seals off the self-protection measures of their bodies, so it is equivalent to burning their lives.

Regardless of the endurance limit of their muscles and bones, each of the resurrected zombies is extremely powerful. Even if they are severely injured, they will not easily lose their ability to resist.

Not to mention that this cannibal indigenous tribe is still so ancient, and the voodoo they inherited may be mixed with the evil spells passed down by Anubis. "

A voodoo wizard actually said that Anubis passed down evil spells. This is really magical.

At this time, more "Resurrection Dolls" also appeared in the surrounding jungle, and the battle began at this moment.

"They often have witchcraft and poison on them, so it's best to kill them from a distance. Also, you should wear positive energy protective equipment. Finally, remember to hit the head, that's their key point!"

The voodoo wizard added one last sentence, pointing out the secret of these cannibal dwarfs.

Then, under Clark's control, he waved the poisoned green dagger and rushed forward to act as a human shield.

Beside him, Neville, who was equipped with spells such as [Resistance to Negative Energy Shield], [Giant Transformation], [Destroy the Enemy First], and [Oil on the Soles of the Feet], had a bright light in his eyes, and the elf dagger in his hand pointed towards him. It slashed diagonally downward.

With the power brought by [Giant Transformation], the long-charged cross cut neatly chopped off the heads of three small resurrected corpses.

Hermione held the magic book in her hand, recited the spell in her mouth, and sprinkled a little pearl powder at the same time. Soon, her whole body glowed with pearly white light.

These lights are soft and not dazzling. Just getting closer makes people feel warm, their fatigue disappears, and they are full of energy.

Not only that, under Hermione's control, these lights can be condensed into rays and emitted.

Once those little resurrected corpses were hit by this white beam, black smoke soon erupted from their bodies, and they quickly turned into a pile of white bones.

In addition to the two of them, Laura's marksmanship is also very good. In such a complicated place, her hit rate is surprisingly high.

Every bullet can often play a big role.

On the contrary, Imhotep seemed to be preparing to save his strength to deal with the enemies behind him, and did not make a big move.

The flames of bullets and guns intertwined with the cold light of swords, like a gorgeous waltz, quickly harvesting the lives of the dwarves in this humid and dark rain forest.

They were targeted at the weak point of the head, and the skulls were scattered like blooming white flowers. Under the killing force of Clark and others, they were almost unable to unite.

The whole scene did not look like a massacre, but like a farmer uncle harvesting baby cabbage in the field.

It's just that these "babies" are all scary monsters with big heads, sharp teeth, and ferocious faces.
