Pharaoh

Chapter 172

When King Kamose succeeded in driving the Hyksos, who had ruled and oppressed the Egyptian people for nearly a hundred years, out of Upper Egypt, he became a thorn in the side of the Hyksos.

Later, in the battle for Lower Egypt, the despicable Hyksos assassinated King Kamose, and the Egyptian army was defeated and retreated to Upper Egypt, and continued to retreat steadily in the subsequent wars.

Soon after, the Hyksos soldiers surrounded Thebes, the capital of the Egyptian king.

King Ahmose inherited his brother's behest and became the next Pharaoh at the critical moment. However, the hearts of the people in Egypt were scattered, and the Hyksos army was aggressive outside. In the situation of internal and external troubles, even if they want to turn the tide, they are powerless. They can only watch the Hyksos soldiers approaching the city.

Seeing that Egypt is about to fall—

At the last moment, the messenger of the gods suddenly came to Thebes, the capital of Egypt, and gave King Ahmose seven golden artifacts made by the gods of Egypt.

King Ahmose and his six great priests summoned a powerful and ancient monster with the power of the golden artifact, and slaughtered an entire army of hundreds of thousands of Hyksos with the strength of seven people.

The Hyksos retreated back to Lower Egypt in panic.

King Ahmose guarded the capital, recharged his energy for several years, and led his army to the north to conquer the Hyksos forces in Lower Egypt and drive them out of Egypt.

The combination of the killing of the king's brother Kamose and the new and old hatred that he almost became the king of subjugation made the arrogant King Ahmose hate the Hyksos to the extreme.Wherever King Ahmose's army went, there were Hyksos corpses strewn all over the field, even old and weak women and children.

While King Ahmose was hated by the Hyksos so much that he wanted to swallow his flesh and drink his blood, he was also increasingly feared by the Hyksos.

Wherever the royal flag of Egypt flutters, the Hyksos all shy away.

When King Ahmose was dying, he passed the golden building blocks contained in the golden box to the next pharaoh.

The other six golden artifacts have been passed down from generation to generation by the great priests.

However, the inheritance was passed on to the father of Atum. First, the gold box suddenly disappeared, and then because of the struggle between the father of Atum and his brother Akhnadin, the golden key and the golden eye were also lost.

……

The young Wangdi stood in front of the bronze gate and smashed it hard.

The door remained motionless.

He let go of his fist in discouragement. Although he knew it was the result, he still couldn't help but want to give it a try, even if the other side could hear him.

He tried to put his ear against the door, trying to hear the voice on the other side, but he couldn't hear anything.

He thought for a while, took a few steps back, moved a little away from the gate, and sat down against the stone wall.

If it was too close to the door, if Atum burst into flames and knocked down the door, he would be the one to bear the brunt of the disaster, so it is better to keep a little distance.

He didn't even want to find other exits by himself... Anyway, Yatum and Seth were outside, seeing him locked inside, they would definitely find a way to open the door.

If he ran around to find the exit, he might get lost in this huge maze-like underground tomb, and that was the most dangerous thing.

This is the same reason that it is better for lost people to stay where they are and wait for rescue.

In fact, it is okay to summon the Silent Swordsman to cut open the gate with a sword, but before coming to the Valley of the Kings, Seth told him in advance that the Valley of the Kings is a sacred place where the royal families of all ages are buried, and it is not allowed to use magic power or Summons monsters.

So the king of Egypt is sitting and waiting honestly. After all, he is also a member of the Egyptian royal family now, so it is not easy to be disrespectful to his nominal... well, maybe it should be regarded as his blood... ancestors.

He lowered his head and played with his fingers a little bored.

The faint light of the fire fell on his cheeks, dyeing his complexion a light yellow halo.

It's easy to get distracted when you're alone.

Yu Yu casually picked up a small stone beside him and threw it towards the gate.

With a crisp sound, the stone hit the bronze door, then fell to the ground, rolled a few more times, and stopped after falling down several stone steps.

He looked at the small stone absently, but what he remembered was the last time about the underground tomb of King Ahmose in the belly of the cliff...

Actually he didn't like that place, in every sense of the word.

However, as the current brother of the Egyptian king, he must participate in the whole process of welcoming the coffin of King Ahmose.

After entering the underground tomb that had only been excavated in a small part, he followed closely behind Atum.

Seth told him that he accidentally touched the curse of the moon god Ach in a hidden darkroom because he had silent swordsmen and magicians running around in the cemetery.

But he couldn't remember.

He just remembered walking behind Yatum at that time, getting darker and sleepier... In a trance, he didn't know what he was doing at that time.

By the time he regained consciousness, he had turned into a cat lying on the stone room, even though he was cold and startled, he couldn't resist the overwhelming drowsiness and fell asleep.

At first, he thought that he stumbled into a place he shouldn't have in a daze.

Now that I think about it, I feel something is wrong.

The clear rustling sound in the empty corridor awakened Wang Di, who was in deep thought, and he raised his head and looked around.

Under the dim light of the fire, he could see the source of the sound at a glance.

At some point, the bronze gate in front of him was covered with black beetles the size of a thumb. They crawled out of the cracks in the stone continuously, and their six thin rod-like legs were crawling rapidly. Their strange black-red eyes were dimmed. It flickered under the bright firelight, and one glance made people feel extremely terrifying.

They densely crawled over the gate and the ground, and the rustling sound intensified their turbulent momentum, which made people feel scalp numb.

You subconsciously took a few steps back, and when he found that the countless black beetles seemed to be overwhelming him, he couldn't help being surprised.

"silence--"

A sharp tingling sensation penetrated the whole head, and the magic power he had gathered with great difficulty dissipated.

Holding his aching head, the young Wangdi was a little dazed, but seeing the insect swarm that was about to bury him completely, he immediately took a deep breath and suppressed the pain.

"Sword - woo..."

This time, just at the beginning, the severe pain that would almost split the entire brain in two swept across.

The intense pain almost made him unable to breathe.

He felt his eyes darken, his legs softened, and he almost knelt on the ground.

[The Valley of the Kings is a sacred place, no one is allowed to use magic power and summon monsters in it. 】The game now finally understands the meaning of Seth's words.

Rather than saying that it is not allowed, it is better to say that it cannot.

How important is the Valley of the Kings? If there were no restrictions, and one could use magic power or summon destructive monsters at will, it would have been destroyed countless times.

The light yellow light illuminated the black beetle swarm densely wriggling on the gate and the stone wall. They crawled quickly and rushed towards the only living person ahead with a rustling sound.

The dim yellow light of the fire flashed, and under the light of the fire, the young Wangdi turned around and ran down the stone steps.

The halo of the firelight falling on his cheeks was light yellow, but it reflected his slightly pale complexion.

He gritted his teeth, pressed hard on his throbbing head with one hand, and ran forward.

Cold sweat trickled down his forehead and into his eyes, making his vision even more blurred.

Although the sharp pain in his head was enough to keep him awake, he didn't know the way to this underground palace, so he just followed along.What's more, he is running away now, and it is even more impossible to carefully distinguish the difference between the forked roads.

So in a panic, he quickly discovered that the scenery around him was something he had never seen before.

He didn't even have time to stop to catch his breath and tell if he was lost with the swarm behind him.

It didn't take long for him to stop suddenly.

A tall stone wall stood in front of him, blocking his way.

Yu Yu turned around, gasping for breath, his pale cheeks had become flushed from the strenuous exercise just now.

Even though he knew it was futile, he subconsciously pressed his back against the cold stone wall that blocked his way.

His lips parted slightly, and his throat moved slightly, but he still didn't make a sound after all.

He stared wide-eyed at the surging swarm that was about to swallow him whole.

In the dark, countless strange red dots flickering in the darkness.

He held his breath, his body rigid with fear.

In the blink of an eye, the swarm of insects had already rushed in front of him, several black beetles climbed onto his feet, and quickly climbed up his legs——

Suddenly there was a slight swishing sound in the darkness.

Something wrapped around his stiff body all of a sudden, and before he could react, a strong force came from above, and his whole body was suddenly lifted into the air, and he was suddenly pulled upwards obliquely.

The few black beetles were also thrown away from him at this moment, and fell in the air.

The long whip wrapped around You Yu violently dragged You into a hole diagonally above. He was still in a state of panic and couldn't recover. He could only watch himself hit the stone wall with inertia.

Suddenly a hand reached out and hugged him.

Then there was a loud bang, which resounded through the narrow stone cave.

He subconsciously looked in the direction of the loud noise, and found that the hole where he was dragged up just now was blocked by a huge stone slab, and he could vaguely hear the rustling sound of insects crawling from under the stone slab.

The fear of almost being buried in the insect swarm just now made his hands clenched tightly unconsciously, and his nails sank deeply into the palm of his hand.

"game?"

A warm hand patted his cheek lightly, bringing him back to his senses.

The lips of the person holding him were close to his ear, as if afraid of scaring him, there was a little hesitation in his voice, as slow as possible.

He could almost feel the warm breath of the man's breath as he spoke.

The warm feeling behind him made his stiff body gradually relax.Hearing this person's voice, Yuyou let out a breath, and slowly loosened his clenched hands.

The fierce beating heart in his chest had calmed down. He turned his head, and a very bright smile appeared on that immature face.

"Ya..."

There was a sudden pause in his voice.

Because what he saw in the faint firelight was a completely unfamiliar face.

He hesitated for a moment, and then saw the dark pupils with the familiar soft eyes.

Then he laughed.

"Arton."

He called his name in affirmative rather than questioning tone.

He stretched out his hand and stroked the strange face, as if trying to find the cracks in the soft mask.

Yaden nodded to Yuyu. Although it was an unfamiliar face, the slightly raised corners of his lips made that face show a soft smile that Yuyu was very familiar with.

The bright dark pupils shone like jewels in the darkness with a clear light.

"Are you injured?"

Yaden asked, his warm eyes fell on Yu Yu's face, with a worried look on his face.

Game shook his head.

He saw Arden showing him a familiar smile again.

He saw Arden's lips move slightly, as if he wanted to say something to him.

But the moving lips didn't say anything.

The person holding him suddenly closed his eyes and fell on top of him.

The game opened its eyes wide, with a look of astonishment on its face.

Under the faint light of the fire, he saw his arms hugging Adun reflexively soaked in warm liquid, dyed a bright red hue.
