The Witcher: The Journey to Transcendence from Marvel

Chapter 76 The High Priest Runs Really Fast

The sudden sound startled Evelyn. She turned around and found that O'Connor had opened his eyes and was looking at her.

"It's not stealing," Evelyn tried to argue, "According to my brother, my behavior can be called 'taking'."

After that, she quickly opened the "Black Book of the Dead" with a mysterious box, and a mysterious wind swept over.

O'Connor squatted beside her, looking at the mysterious book curiously.

"@#¥%%" Evelyn, who was possessed by a ghost, recited a spell from the Black Book, and a sudden gust of wind blew, as if it came from another world, with a gloomy and terrifying atmosphere.

"No, you can't recite it!!" The sleeping American professor was awakened and shouted loudly.

But it was too late.

Wes knew that the "Black Book of the Dead" had been opened by Evelyn. He tried to change the direction of the story, but unexpectedly, everything was still developing according to the original plan.

"Buzz" the sound of insects flapping their wings sounded, and the sound came from far away and became clearer and clearer.

Tens of thousands of locusts flew towards Hamunatta like a black cloud covering the entire sky. The number of locusts was unimaginable.

"How can there be so many locusts in the desert? !!" Everyone looked at the locusts flying all over the sky in surprise. The arrival of these locusts foreshadowed some ominous signs.

The locusts rushed into the camp like a tide. Whether it was tents, camels, or even people's bodies, they were all covered with these black insects. These locusts were so dense that it seemed as if the whole world was occupied by them. The fabric of the tent was almost collapsed by countless locusts, and the camel's back was also covered with these terrible creatures. They crawled on the animal's skin, causing the camel to make uneasy calls.

These locusts are not only huge in number, but they also bite people. Although they are small in size, they have amazing bite force. Once they bite the skin, it is difficult to get rid of them.

Some people were bitten by these insects on their faces, arms, and necks, causing them unbearable pain. Others tried to drive them away with their hands, but there were too many locusts to be cleared away.

"What are you doing? Run!" an American in the crowd shouted, "So many locusts can't be dealt with by guns in your hands."

"Go to the underground palace quickly, it's safe there!" O'Connor rushed to the underground palace with Evelyn in his arms.

Others also ran towards the underground palace, which was their last refuge.

Only the American professor did not run. He knew that the curse from hell had come true. He stood there quietly to accept the punishment, and was swallowed by the locusts in an instant.

At this time, Weiss began to chant a spell. With him as the center, a ball of fire exploded around, forming a fire tornado, sweeping all the locusts in it.

The high temperature of the flames made it impossible to get close, and the air was filled with the smell of burning, which made people feel sick.

Tens of thousands of locusts were burned to death, their bodies turned to ashes in the flames, and everyone stared at Weiss's amazing move.

"So he is so powerful." Evelyn whispered.

However, burning this wave of locusts did not solve the problem, and the next wave of locusts followed one after another, endless.

"Locust plague." Weiss frowned, he knew that this was not a solution.

The Ten Plagues of Egypt is a series of disasters recorded in the Bible, and the locust plague is just one of them. This is not something that human power can resist. These locusts are pouring in continuously, and they will not stop unless Imhotun is killed again.

"These locusts are because of Imhotun, we must return to the underground palace."

After Weiss finished speaking, everyone immediately rushed into the underground palace. Weiss was the last one to enter the underground palace, and then sealed the door of the underground palace.

When everyone saw him, they couldn't help but make way for him, and they began to feel fear when they looked at him.

He walked straight to Evelyn and stretched out his hand to take the Black Book of the Dead. Evelyn held the book tightly and was reluctant to let go.

"I think according to the agreement, I should be able to choose two things to take away."

"Give it to him," Jonathan whispered in Evelyn's ear, "Let it go, this thing was not yours in the first place."

Evelyn hesitated for a moment, and finally let go of her hand reluctantly.

After Wes put away the Black Book of the Dead, he only left one sentence: "I advise you to leave Egypt as soon as possible, there will be great changes here."

After saying this, he walked towards the depths of the underground palace. He wanted to see the strength of the Egyptian high priest three thousand years ago, and also wanted to see how much influence the Egyptian gods could have on the world.

Wes's figure slowly disappeared in the darkness, leaving only the group of people looking at each other.

"What should we do?" Someone asked helplessly.

"Is what he said true? Will Egypt undergo a huge change?"

"Of course it's a lie. Since we're already here, why not find some more treasures to take back?"

The Americans did not follow Weiss's advice. Even after witnessing the horrific locust plague and Weiss's powerful abilities, they still coveted the treasures in the underground palace without fear of death.

No mistakes!

"We must leave here as soon as possible."

Only O'Connor and the other two planned to follow the advice.

"Click~Click", deep in the underground palace, a black skeleton was moving at an extremely slow rhythm, and every movement was accompanied by the sound of bones rubbing against the ground.

This skeleton is the high priest Imhotep who was just resurrected by Evelyn's inadvertent spell.

The internal organs of his lover Ansuna were sealed in five mysterious holy urns, but now they were recklessly taken away by five Americans who were ignorant of the world and blinded by greed.

In order to resurrect Ansuna, Imhotep must first find the five holy urns, and now Imhotep has not been fully resurrected, so these five Americans just happened to be his sacrifices.

In the underground palace, he has a special perception ability and can know the exact location of these five Americans in the underground palace.

Just when he was about to find the five Americans, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him and blocked his way.

Weiss stood in front of Imhotep and greeted him in ancient Egyptian: "Hello, high priest!"

"Who are you?" Imhotep, who had just been resurrected, spoke intermittently.

"A wizard," Weiss calmly took out his wand and took the initiative, "Avada bites the big melon."

A pale green light shot out from the tip of the wand, like a deadly lightning, straight at Imhotep.

Although Imhotep was just a fragile skeleton at this time, he showed an extraordinary reaction speed. He instantly turned into a ball of yellow sand and dissipated, as if he had never appeared.

"Wizard, I remember you, but now is not the time to play with you."

Imorton's voice came from all directions, his body had completely decomposed into tiny grains of sand, and disappeared without a trace with the airflow in the underground palace.
