"Even if the King of Hell wants you dead at midnight, I can drag it out until dawn. Stop talking nonsense and get the hell out of here... crawl!"

With Shen Qingzhu's desperate pulling and tugging, Baili Pangpang was dragged out of the black sand pit.

"call!"

The two, exhausted, lay on the ground and let out a long sigh of relief.

"Brother Zhai, you saved me again. How many times has this happened? I can't even count them all. Why don't you come back to Guangzhou and Shenzhen with me and be my bodyguard?" Baili Pangpang asked jokingly after surviving the ordeal.

Shen Qingzhu, who was also lying on the ground, said speechlessly, "Get lost, I'm so unlucky to have a burden like you. I've had the worst luck in eight lifetimes."

Baili Pangpang revealed a simple, honest smile.

He knew that this guy, Zhai Ge, was all bark and no bite; don't be fooled by his cold and indifferent demeanor.

Whenever his brothers encounter any trouble, he will risk everything without hesitation. He will never abandon a brother he has chosen.

It's so great to be brothers with someone like that!

"Alright, stop pretending to be dead. This sudden sandstorm is too strange. Let's find a safe place to hide."

Shen Qingzhu stood up and reached out her hand to Baili Pangpang.

There was a hideous bloodstain on his palm.

Baili Pangpang, deeply moved, grasped his hand and stood up. Just as he was about to say something about their brotherly bond, Shen Qingzhu ruthlessly interrupted him.

"Alright, stop being so wishy-washy, the important thing is to find the others to join us."

Just as the two were about to leave, Shen Qingzhu suddenly stopped and grabbed Baili Pangpang beside her.

"What's wrong?" Baili Pangpang asked warily.

Shen Qingzhu adjusted her True Sight Eye and said coldly, "Be careful, something's coming."

Chapter 141 Pyramids

In the raging sandstorm, Cao Yuan, who was at the back of the group, got separated from the others.

Holding his sword, Cao Yuan braved the black sandstorm and kept calling out to his teammates.

"Tianchen, Qiye, where are you?"

Cao Yuan wandered around like a headless fly, surrounded by emptiness, even the abandoned ancient courtyards had vanished without a trace.

Suddenly, amidst the sandstorm, the outline of a massive building appeared and disappeared in the swirling dust.

Cao Yuan braved the raging sandstorm and walked towards the black silhouette.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a massive pyramid.

It was made entirely of black stone bricks, emitting an eerie glow, and the source of the sandstorm was at the top of the black pyramid.

Upon seeing the black pyramid standing before him, Cao Yuan was completely stunned.

Isn't this the legendary Fengdu? How come there are Western structures like pyramids here?

Could it be that the pyramids were actually built by our ancestors and the Egyptians stole their ideas?

A series of question marks floated out from Cao Yuan's head.

The pyramids in Fengdu City—this suddenly appearing black pyramid looks incredibly eerie…

"Who?!"

Hearing the noise behind him, Cao Yuan immediately gripped the hilt of his sword, ready to draw it at any moment.

After entering the Sichuan region, his ability to suppress the void stabilized considerably. As long as he didn't draw his sword, simply holding the hilt wouldn't cause him to go berserk.

But if he pulls it out even half an inch, the Black King's Annihilation will immediately take over his body and mind.

"Don't be nervous, it's me."

An Qingyu adjusted her glasses and slowly walked to Cao Yuan's side.

Upon seeing that the person who came was An Qingyu, Cao Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and slowly loosened his grip on the hilt of his sword.

"Qingyu, have you seen anyone else?"

An Qingyu shook her head. "I didn't see anyone along the way. After walking for a long time, I saw a huge outline and started walking towards this place."

"What's going on with this thing?" Cao Yuan asked, pointing to the strange black pyramid in front of him.

An Qingyu looked at the black pyramid, a gray glint flashing in her eyes.

"This is a special forbidden object, not belonging to the existing record sequence. The pyramids... may be related to the Egyptian gods."

"Egyptian gods?"

Cao Yuan frowned. "Tianchen mentioned the information he obtained from those ghosts before."

"Ever since the Great Emperor of Fengdu suddenly left with the ghosts and gods of the underworld, Fengdu was shattered into five pieces by Hades, the Greek god of the underworld; Osiris, the Egyptian god of the underworld; Yama, the Indian god of death; and Lucifer, the fallen angel who rules over Satan's hell. Each of them took one piece and four of them, leaving only this broken piece of Fengdu."

"Could this eerie black pyramid be related to Osiris, one of the Ennead of Egypt, the god of the underworld?"

An Qingyu said seriously, "We cannot rule out the possibility that Osiris may still be harboring evil intentions and will make a comeback."

The two looked at the black pyramid and fell silent.

If he were truly a god, then he would be Osiris, one of the Ennead of Egypt, the god of the underworld…

Even if it were just the two of them now, the seven people who came in, tied together, wouldn't be a match for Osiris.

Unless a miracle happens...

"Cao Yuan, go and explain the situation here to Tianchen and the others," An Qingyu said earnestly, adjusting her glasses.

"how about you?"

"I'll go in and take a look."

"No," Cao Yuan stopped An Qingyu. "The situation inside is unknown. What if something happens if you rush in?"

An Qingyu patted Cao Yuan's hand with a smile, "Don't worry, I won't die."

Cao Yuan looked at An Qingyu, who had a confident expression, and was somewhat dazed.

No, this demeanor, this tone, this brute force... are you channeling Gu Tianchen?

By the time Cao Yuan realized what was happening, An Qingyu had already entered the black pyramid.

Cao Yuan gritted his teeth, stamped his foot, and rushed in with his sword in hand.

hum!

A strange black light swept out, and An Qingyu and Cao Yuan entered the pyramid one after the other.

Inside, there was no raging black sandstorm; it was completely dark, eerily quiet.

How did you get in here?

"We agreed to live and die together. I'm not the kind of person who abandons his teammates." Cao Yuan held his knife, looking around warily.

An Qingyu smiled and said, "It seems we're in luck; there's no Osiris here."

Cao Yuan took out a flashlight and shone it around. The black walls seemed to swallow the light, and the range of the powerful flashlight was not very far, only about five or six meters.

"What is that?"

Not far from the two, a black coffin sat quietly.

An Qingyu walked towards the flashlight beam, about to touch the black coffin, as if she were about to open it and perform an autopsy.

"Wait, there's a black coffin inside the black pyramid. It looks really weird. We'd better not touch it," Cao Yuan stopped An Qingyu.

"Aren't you curious about what's inside?" An Qingyu asked with a look of curiosity.

"I'm not curious," Cao Yuan said calmly.

“No, you’re just curious.” An Qingyu tried to persuade Cao Yuan to go with him to open the coffin and find out what was inside.

Cao Yuan said with a serious expression, "Curiosity killed the cat."

An Qingyu adjusted her glasses, pointed to the coffin, and asked with a serious expression, "Then why is it alright?"

Cao Yuan shone his flashlight in the direction An Qingyu was pointing and was startled.

Atop the black coffin, a black cat crouched, silently staring at him!

The black cat had not a single stray hair on its body; it was like a fine piece of black silk, gleaming faintly under the flashlight beam.

Her large, bright eyes emitted an eerie, ghostly green light, and the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned, as if she were smiling at him.

Cao Yuan felt a chill run down his spine as he looked at the black cat crouching on the coffin.

“Qingyu, when I was cultivating under Master Jinchan on Mount Jiuhua, I heard some folk legends from my fellow disciples on the mountain.”

"Legend has it that encountering a black cat in a tomb is extremely ominous. If a black cat touches the coffin, there is a high probability that the corpse will rise from the dead."

An Qingyu's eyes were filled with excitement as she pulled two sharp scalpels from her sleeve.

"Really? After a zombie comes back to life, will the corpse turn into a zombie like in the movies? I've always been interested in dissecting zombies. When does it come back to life?"

"Legend has it that zombies have very hard bodies. Should I use two sharper scalpels to show respect for them?"

Cao Yuan rubbed his forehead. Sure enough, there were no normal people in the special squad, not even the reservists...

As soon as An Qingyu finished speaking, a thud suddenly came from the black coffin, as if something was about to come out.

The black cat on the coffin was startled and jumped off instantly, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

"I think we should leave," Cao Yuan said nervously, gripping the hilt of his sword.

boom!

A loud bang was heard, and the heavy black coffin lid was instantly flung away.

Cao Yuan stared wide-eyed at the coffin.

No way? It's really come back to life?
