The Cycle of Reincarnation in the Four-Courtyard House: A Journey Through the Heavens

Just after Imhotep was resurrected by the Book of the Dead, a bizarre phenomenon suddenly appeared above the ruins of Hamunaptra.

Suddenly, a deafening buzzing sound came from the depths of the originally dark night sky.

The dense, noisy, and continuous sound, rapidly approaching Hamunapa from afar, shattered the tranquility of the entire Gobi Desert, making one's eardrums vibrate and one's mind uneasy.

Countless enormous wasps appeared out of nowhere, their sheer number overwhelming, obscuring the entire night sky and forming a dark, oppressive cloud.

Each wasp was enormous, its wings vibrating with a fierce wind, and countless buzzing sounds intertwined and converged, creating a deafening roar that shook the wilderness, both eerie and terrifying.

Evelyn, who was still studying the Book of the Dead inside the tent, immediately noticed the deafening buzzing noise outside.

The sound was so immense and eerie, completely unlike the noise of ordinary insects and beasts, that it made her heart tighten. She immediately closed the scripture, got up, and rushed out of the tent to investigate the situation.

But when she stepped out of the tent and looked up at the giant swarm of wasps that blotted out the night sky, she was instantly terrified by the sight and let out a scream of horror.

She had never seen such a huge and terrifying swarm of bees before. The dark mass covered the sky, as if it were about to devour the entire desert, inspiring awe in all who beheld it.

A wave of fear washed over Evelyn, and her whole body tensed up. She instinctively wanted to back away and avoid it.

Just then, a warm and strong arm reached out from behind her and pulled her into a hug.

His expression was calm as he quietly embraced Evelyn, saying, "Don't be afraid, these bugs can't fly in!"

The next second, an incredible and magical scene suddenly unfolded.

The giant swarm of bees, which was flying straight toward the Hamunaptra ruins at full speed, suddenly changed its flight path when it was only a dozen meters away from the tent where the two were.

Countless wasps moved outwards in a neat and orderly fashion, like flowing river water crashing against rocks in the water, or as if guided by some unseen force, deliberately avoiding the entire area where Li Xiao and Evelyn were located.

A swarm of dark bees flew swiftly past the two of them, but not a single wasp approached them.

The swarm of bees bypassed this small area, rushing towards the other side of the Hamunaptra Mausoleum with overwhelming force.

Not long after, amidst the noisy buzzing outside the tent, faintly mixed with bursts of shrill and terrified screams and frantic roars, came clearly from the other side of the ruins.

Those black-clad guards who had narrowly escaped Imhotep's pursuit had just managed to evade the swarms of frenzied wasps that attacked them from all sides.

The swarms of poisonous bees, darkening the sky, surrounded them relentlessly. The desolate Gobi Desert offered no cover, leaving them with nowhere to escape.

Left with no other choice, the group of men in black could only retreat once more into the underground palace of Hamunaptra, attempting to use the intricate passageways and stone chambers to evade the swarm of bees.

The forbidden land they once swore to protect at all costs has now become their only refuge, a truly ironic situation.

Night falls, and the long night comes to an end.

The next morning, the first rays of dawn pierced the deep darkness of the desert, and the cool morning light spilled across the entire Gobi Desert, dispelling the gloom and darkness of the previous night.

After resting, Li Xiao once again led Evelyn into the Hamunaptra Palace.

After the two catastrophes last night, the entire site of the dead has fallen into complete silence, with no one in sight.

Even Imhotep, who had just revived and was hunting extensively, had completely disappeared, as if he had never been there at all, leaving only a mess on the ground, silently telling the story of the danger of last night.

Li Xiao already knew this. With his indirect help, Imhotep had regained its physical body earlier than in the original storyline. It must be heading to the lowest level of the Pharaoh's tomb to find the Book of the Dead.

Imhotep's greatest obsession is to resurrect Anzulna, who died for him, and the Book of the Dead is an important tool for him to resurrect Anzulna.

The two men easily found their way back to the secret chamber where Imhotep's double sarcophagus had been discovered the previous night.

This is the passageway leading to the lowest level of Hamunaptra, which is also the underground palace where the coffin and funerary objects of Pharaoh Seti I were placed.

Li Xiao's gaze swept across the mottled stone walls surrounding the secret chamber, his fingertips brushing against the ancient, uneven patterns on the walls. With his keen senses, he quickly locked onto a wall that held a hidden secret.

The stone wall has strangely connected patterns and a density that is completely different from the surrounding walls. It seems to be a single, integrated structure, but in fact it is a secret passage leading to a deeper underground layer.

He didn't have time to decipher any mechanisms. He gathered a wisp of spiritual energy in his palm and gave it a gentle shake. The hidden locking mechanism inside the wall instantly shattered, emitting a series of fine cracking sounds.

The entire stone wall shifted slightly inward, revealing a hidden stone door. The entrance to the passage was dark and deep, leading directly to the lowest level of the underground palace.

Li Xiao raised his hand and pushed open the stone door. A foul smell rushed out, but fortunately Evelyn had already put on a gas mask, so she didn't feel any discomfort.

Li Xiao went in first, followed closely by Evelyn, who was holding a flashlight, as they entered this underground passage they had never been before.

The passageway is intricate and complex, resembling a maze with interconnected corridors that can easily make one lose their way.

The two continued to walk along the winding passageway, the stone steps beneath their feet leading down to the deepest part of Hamunaptra.

This area is a forbidden zone where the pharaoh's coffin and funerary objects are buried. It is full of hidden dangers, with countless vicious traps concealed in the walls, steps, or underground. They have remained intact for thousands of years.

As they traveled, the stone walls on both sides would often tremble without warning, with countless sharp arrows hidden inside. Once triggered, they would be fired in a volley, sealing off all escape routes.

The stone steps beneath your feet are even more treacherous. Some steps appear flat and solid, but once stepped on, they will instantly flip and collapse, revealing a bottomless, pitch-black pit with thick, turbid, unknown liquid surging at the bottom.

The liquid was pitch black and viscous, constantly churning slightly, with wisps of foul-smelling black fumes slowly rising. The smell was pungent and irritating, and it was clear without investigation that it was a deadly poison; once one came into contact with it, the end would be certain death.

These vicious traps and mechanisms were no match for Li Xiao.

He extended his divine sense throughout, covering an area of ​​several tens of meters around him, exposing all hidden mechanisms and traps to his perception.

He quietly shattered and eliminated all the hidden arrow traps, flipping stone steps, and poison pits along the way with his spiritual power.

As you steadily descend the steps to the bottom, at the end of a straight passageway, a majestic stone gate stands before you.

The stone gate is carved from a single piece of pitch-black boulder. It is magnificent and heavy, and its surface is covered with intricate and obscure ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs. The patterns are ancient and mysterious, carrying thousands of years of taboos and secrets.
