I traverse America, using holy light to quell American terror!

Just as Benny was overjoyed and reached for the last 'sapphire'...

The next second, he suddenly felt,

Something seemed to be surging violently in my pocket.

Immediately afterward, before Benny could react,

A sharp pain shot through his groin!

"Ouch! That hurts! What happened?!"

Benny cried out in pain.

For a moment, he felt as if insects had burrowed into his body and were frantically gnawing at his flesh!

"Click—"

Another crisp cracking sound came from above Benny's head, and this time he heard it.

Benny, enduring the pain, looked up.

Suddenly, it was discovered that the enchanting 'sapphire' was slowly cracking.

A completely black scarab beetle crawled out from inside!

Thinking back to the 'sapphires' he had just put in his pocket...

Benny could no longer contain his fear and screamed in terror!

"God! Save me—!"

The scarab seemed to have heard Banner's call.

Suddenly it flapped its wings and took flight, darting directly into Benny's mouth!

A series of pitiful screams came from the other end of the passage.

Rick listened to that familiar voice and said in a deep voice:

"It looks like Benny! Something came out of this tomb!"

"Hmm, it seems the mechanism guarding the tomb has been triggered."

Li Yuan nodded, agreeing with Rick's statement.

However, he did not stop walking and continued to follow Malakham toward the treasury containing the Sun Sutra.

Seeing that everyone looked a little nervous, Li Yuan smiled and reassured them:

"Don't worry, everyone. Those undead creatures pose no threat to us."

Even if Imhotep were to be resurrected, he would still be no match for me.

The most tense guards looked at each other in bewilderment.

For a moment, it was unclear whether Li Yuan was bragging or genuinely had the ability.

What they didn't know was that Li Yuan possessed extraordinary abilities.

Dealing with those undead creatures is like a game-changer.

At this moment, Li Yuan's ears twitched slightly.

A golden glint suddenly flashed in his eyes.

He instantly activated the ability to sense evil creatures.

In an instant, several rapidly moving energy orbs appeared in Li Yuan's eyes.

Two small-scale passages leading from the front.

A large mound, originating from the sandy ground beneath everyone's feet.

At that moment, those things were right in front of Li Yuan!

Li Yuan frowned and reminded the people around him:

"No matter what happens, don't run around! I won't be responsible if you lose your life!"

Just as everyone was still wondering, a sand mound suddenly and slowly rose from the ground.

Layers of fine sand kept gushing out from the center of the sand pile and scattering around it.

At the same time, a rustling sound came from inside.

It looked as if something was about to burst out from the ground!

The next second, a swarm of black scarabs gushed out like a fountain.

They swarmed towards the crowd in dense, overwhelming numbers!

Evelyn, who was well-informed, was the first to scream in alarm:

"Ah—! Li Yuan, watch out! That's a scarab beetle!"

Ades and the others, who knew the habits of scarab beetles, were all on high alert.

They all drew their weapons, ready to fire.

But at that moment, Li Yuan, who was closest to the scarab beetle, not only did not dodge,

Instead, he walked towards the swarm of insects.

Li Yuan's lips moved slightly, and he uttered a single word:

"Dedication".

"call--"

A pure white holy flame instantly surged from the ground!

In the blink of an eye, it covered the entire passageway where Li Yuan and the others were!

Malakham, who was walking at the very front, was almost scared to death by the flames that were full of divine energy.

He thought Li Yuan thought he was lazy and wanted to kill him.

The others pressed themselves tightly against the wall, fearing that the holy flame would purify them.

Meanwhile, Li Yuan's main target, the scarab beetles, all let out a piercing scream.

Immediately, it was purified into ashes by the scorching holy flames!

[Ding! 996 F-rank scarabs eliminated! 1992 Holy Light Points and 9960 Experience Points gained!]

"Wow! This is really a great place to grind monsters!"

Hearing the system notification in his ear, Li Yuan couldn't help but sigh in admiration.

Although the monsters are not of high quality, they are plentiful and satisfying!

"Wow! That's so cool!"

Jonathan's eyes widened in admiration!

He then jumped around a couple of times in the warm holy flames and found that the flames did not harm him.

Jonathan quickly looked at Li Yuan and said with longing:

"Li Yuan! Can you teach me this trick? I'll arrange for my sister to marry you!"

"Jonathan!"

Evelyn raised her hand and gave her unreliable brother a slap.

Then, somewhat embarrassed, he said to Li Yuan:

"Li Yuan, don't listen to his nonsense!"

Li Yuan chuckled lightly, not caring at all.

He then explained to Jonathan:

"If you want to learn this, you have to join the Holy Light Cult."

Only by becoming a devout follower of the Holy Light will you have the opportunity to learn.

"Oh! The Holy Light Cult! That sounds so righteous and holy!"

So far, my interest in this Holy Light Cult has surpassed my desire for gold!

Jonathan exaggeratedly praised the Holy Light Cult, then whispered to Li Yuan:

"Li Yuan, I wonder where I can join this mysterious sect?"

Li Yuan smiled slightly upon hearing this; this was indeed a good opportunity to recruit believers.

Thinking of this, Li Yuan spoke up:

"Of course..."

Just as Li Yuan was about to tell Jonathan that he could get him to join the Holy Light Cult,

Malakan, who had recovered, suddenly shouted to Li Yuan:

"My lord! The item is in the underground palace ahead! We've arrived!"

This shout immediately drew everyone's attention to Malakham.

Li Yuan rolled his eyes at Malakan, muttering something under his breath:

"That damn idiot, you're definitely not getting any food tonight!"

Li Yuan then cleared his throat and called out to the crowd:

"Let's go in and see what good things Seti I has hidden inside!"

The group, filled with curiosity, walked along the cracks in the wall into a vast underground palace.

To my astonishment, it was discovered that the room was filled entirely with gold!

There are gold-made figures, carriages, candlesticks, and ornaments.

There were also piles of gold coins and gold bars!

Everyone was stunned by the sight before them, including Li Yuan.

"Holy crap, this old guy is really rich."

Li Yuan couldn't help but swear. There was so much gold here that it was impossible to take it all with him.

At this moment, Malakan suddenly tugged at Li Yuan's arm.

He said softly with a fawning expression:

"Sir, what you need is just ahead; we still have a while to go."

"Malakan, when you were in hell, didn't anyone say you were awful?"

Li Yuan rolled his eyes at Malakan, then sighed and said:

"Let's go, lead the way, we'll come back for the gold later."

Just as Li Yuan was leading Grace and Malakan through the underground palace filled with gold,

The others in the underground palace had gone mad.

Whether it was the loyal Imperial Guard, or Jonathan and Rick,

They all frantically scooped the gold into their own pockets.

The only ones who can remain rational here are Evelyn and Ades.

Evelyn, more interested in the Hamunaptra, carefully studied the patterns on the surrounding decorations.

Ades looked at his subordinates with a disappointed expression in his eyes.

Meanwhile, what no one noticed was that,

The ground beneath their feet subtly underwent a change.
