"Is there a prison below and a... palace above?"

Blaze stroked the wall, trying not to miss any possible mechanisms or traps.

"By the way, when you saw the horn before, you seemed to have something to say."

"Ah, if you hadn't told me I would have forgotten it, it's a good thing." Chicken lowered his voice and said mysteriously, "That's the horn of Capricorn."

"..." Blaze paused, and it took him a long time to react.

"Aha--"

"Are you surprised? I didn't expect that the relics of the first generation of Capricorn would appear here." Chicken sighed, looking like he was reminiscing about the past, and said something that was quite explosive for Blaze.

"In the first generation, Capricorn also died like Leo?" Blaze turned his head away with a headache. To be honest, he hoped that it would end peacefully.

Thinking of the second generation Leo, the Nemean Giant, that was not an easy enemy to deal with. Fortunately, this Nemean Giant was a super large enemy, so a group of foreigners could challenge it together. If they could only challenge it alone...

That's a hell of a picture.

"He died and left behind two relics. One is the horn in your hand, and the other seems to be a shield. Legend has it that the soul of the first generation of Capricorn is hidden in these two things."

In contrast to Blazer's headache, the chicken seemed nonchalant.

The name Capricorn sounds scary, but there is actually another name that is much more normal, called Goat. The first generation of Capricorn was a female goat, the most ordinary of all the beast kings, she died early, and her relics are more famous than she herself.

As for the second generation of Capricorn, Rooster didn't know much. He only knew that the second generation fell into the night at the footsteps of the evil Titan and has been missing since then.

"We don't have to worry about returning the constellation. Most of the great souls haven't made any moves yet. We should focus on what's happening right now." Chicken rarely took the role of persuading Blaze not to be so anxious.

"Of course I know that no matter how much trouble those great souls can cause, can it be more harmful than turning the world upside down?"

If we were to rank priorities, a complete upheaval that could easily destroy the world on the surface would definitely be at the top.

Blaze focused his attention on the mausoleum in front of him. It was much brighter than the lower mausoleum, but the light did not bring any sense of security.

"There shouldn't be a distinction between maps for the living and maps for the dead here, right?"

Above my head was a ceiling made of ordinary bricks. Although sand fell from time to time, it was still relatively stable. If there were no distinction between the two maps, then this upper floor would seem to be much simpler.

Blaze moved forward cautiously, and surprisingly there were no traps along the way. This somewhat confirmed his previous guess that there was a palace above and a prison below.

No one would install a lot of traps in the palace.

"You're walking so slowly, how long will it take you to reach the top?"

A voice came from behind, and Blaze felt a chill on his back, as if a snake was crawling along his spine. The fine snake scales brought an unexpectedly comfortable coolness, but they also silently cut open his skin, releasing blood.

The woman leaned against the wall, seemingly admiring her nails seriously, but she glanced at Blaze out of the corner of her eyes, with charm between her brows.

That charm is like a French kiss, which carries some kind of suggestion and also symbolizes death.

Chapter 619: Don’t Believe a Word

"You are……"

Blaze turned slowly. It was a stranger, a female stranger that she didn't know at all, but her words and actions brought an uncomfortable sense of familiarity.

"Someone who calls herself a mother."

“What do you mean by calling yourself that? You act just like a disobedient stepson.” The woman walked over with a smile, but suddenly stopped before she got close. The sword blade, as ferocious as the fangs of a wild beast, stopped just in front of the throat.

"This bad temper doesn't come from anywhere~ I'm here to help you." The woman approached slowly, not stopping even when her neck was against the blade, and Blaze had to step back instead.

"What a good ..."

"Eat my claw!"

The chicken flew up and kicked the woman in the face with its claws, kicking the woman, who slowly revealed a weird smile, away.

Although chickens have no levels because they have no flesh, their attributes are indeed high. The woman did not even make any sound, and she flew away while turning into dust and disappearing.

In the end, only a tiny, candle-like soul flame remained.

The chicken snorted and patted Blaze's back with its wing.

"Don't give a bastard like her a chance to speak. Just kick her."

"Ah, ah... I understand. Next time I will definitely -"

"You are just a piece of chicken, but I feel all the pain!"

An old man rushed in from the end of the passage. Although he looked like an old man, his voice was that of the woman just now.

The chicken snorted coldly, but still attacked with its claws.

Then, from men to women, from the elderly to children, the women kept changing their appearances and rushed over from the end of the passage, but all of them were split in half by the chickens.

Finally, the chicken was tired and the woman was tired too.

"Okay, I won't say I will help you. I just want to use you to do something, so can you please listen to me finish my words?" The woman leaned against the wall, gasping for breath.

"It's about the venue for the Sun Ceremony. If you don't let me use you, then your Sun Ceremony will most likely not be able to be held."

Blaze's instinct told him that the woman's words other than "want to use you" were all false. But since it was related to the Sun Ritual, Blaze couldn't help but reach out to stop the chicken from continuing to kick the woman's head.

"What do you think."

"It's like this, cough cough, wait let me drink some water, cough cough..." The woman rolled her eyes and after a long while she sat up with her arms and legs apart.

I am no longer out of breath and can speak more fluently.

"The Sun Ritual cannot be completed by simply gathering the twelve beasts. It requires the right location, the right order, and the right enemies to defeat."

The woman slowly approached Blaze, and under the dangerous gaze of the chicken, she walked straight around Blaze.

"If you hadn't been used by me, perhaps you would have been able to overcome countless obstacles and successfully complete the Sun Ritual, but do you know how long it would take?"

"It will take at least two years. Can that poor kid underground last that long? How long do you plan to torture him?"

The woman was like a poisonous snake, crawling in the shadows, and the hissing sound was like the whisper of another self in the heart of a person. Unfortunately, the bird of prey was staring at the poisonous snake, so the snake could only watch from a distance.

"With my help, the venue will be open in a month at most."

"I don't believe you." Blaze said bluntly, "If you want me to believe you, then tell me if the top of this mausoleum is the gate to the underworld."

"Yes, after all, the underground world is where the Sun Ceremony is held, so we have to prepare a few more roads. And the foreigners' world competition will also be held there. Ha~ The fights among countless people will make the whole ceremony extremely lively."

"I see."

Blaze nodded and turned to walk deeper into the mausoleum. The woman rolled her eyes, stood there with a smirk on her face, and waved her hands and shouted at Blaze.

"Would you like to know more from me? Information is everything in this world~"

Blazer responded by raising his right hand and his middle finger. Although he didn't know what it meant, this finger was very aggressive to the stranger.

The woman just smiled, stepped back, and slowly disappeared into the darkness.

"You shouldn't talk to her. I've seen guys like that. Every word he says is like a chronic poison. It's addictive and it'll take your life." The chicken complained to Blaze in a long-winded manner, flapping his wings at Blaze and muttering to himself, as if to drive away bad luck.

"Is it a squirrel?"

"..." The chicken paused and nodded.

"A random word can change the facts of the past and affect everything in the future. I don't know what they are trying to achieve."

"We don't need to worry about them, just do our own thing." Blaze put his arms around the chicken's neck and patted its chest with his hand.

This time he turned around and removed the bad luck from the chicken.

"What we need to do now is to use this ladder to go to the underground world. You will write down the coordinates there and then lead the stranger to the underground world."

"That's right! We shouldn't think about those sinister guys!"

Chicken has regained his former cheerfulness, and he and Blaze travel through the dangerous mausoleum as if they were visiting their own home.

So they soon got their comeuppance.

Curse of the Pharaoh

[A curse hidden in the great king's tomb. When a tomb robber enters the tomb, the curse will begin to accumulate and the luck value will decrease. When it exceeds a certain amount, the curse will materialize and become a monster that takes your life.]

Wearing a gorgeous headdress, a ghostly mummy-like figure roared and pounced towards them.

"I knew that woman was stalling for time on purpose!" the chicken yelled and breathed out dragon breath.

"This guy doesn't seem to be an evil spirit." Blaze took out coarse salt and sprinkled it out with force, but it all passed through without any effect.

This is normal, as this Pharaoh's Curse doesn't even have a level, let alone a health bar.

This is really tricky.

"Let me see..." Blaze subconsciously started searching in the warehouse, and one of the sticks caught his attention.

"This is it!"

Blaze pulled out his stick, and at the moment when the Pharaoh's Curse approached, he drew a circle under the Pharaoh's Curse with the stick. The stick began to burn, and the flames rose along the trajectory of the circle.

The ferocious and ferocious Pharaoh's Curse was bounced back the moment it approached the fire wall. It could not break through the fire wall no matter how it rushed left and right, and finally it could only roar towards Blaze.

“I didn’t expect it would actually be useful.”

Blaze looked at the stick in his hand, the top of which was smoking.

【Panlong incense】

[Draw a fire circle to exorcise demons. The fire circle will not go out until the whole stick of incense is burned out.]

The circle that drives away demons can also be the circle that traps demons.

"Ah - this is a krypton gold item given by Wardsifer. It seems that I can only give him the statue."

Chapter 620 Pharaoh Guard

Blaze was often curious about why royal nobles liked to hang portraits of themselves or their experiences in the aisles.

The Arcadia royal family has drawn exquisite portraits of the kings and lords of all generations. Sometimes, it is not a portrait, but a moment of outstanding contribution.

It is said that Audrey's portrait has not been painted yet, firstly because a suitable painter has not been found, and secondly because the subject of the painting has not been available.

The owner, or rather the masters of this tomb, made various stories into murals, telling an ancient story.

The lower level of the mausoleum was a prison for sinners who believed in snakes and climbed the ladder to heaven to rebel against the sun. The upper level was the path for the ruler named "Pharaoh" to climb the ladder to heaven and the magnificent palace where he lived.

From the mural, it seems that they are walking on a ladder leading to the sun, and they will see the sun after walking through the 12th floor. But there seems to be something above the sun, but due to the limited space, only the sun can be seen.

Blazer had not forgotten that this upper level once pointed downward, so the mural could also be viewed upside down.

The mural then became a picture of a sun with twelve steps, and the pharaohs' pilgrimage-like steps became somewhat menacing, while the snake believers looked like they were in a carnival.

There are two interpretations of this mural.

One is to use the [sun falling into the ground] to represent the decline of the sun, which no longer has its former majesty. The pharaohs who believe in it begin to show disrespect to the sun and bare their fangs, while the snake believers watch the pharaohs who are disrespectful to the sun, cheering and dancing.

There is another situation that Blazer prefers, the sun underground.

This sun has the same properties as the sun in the sky, but is completely opposite, so it is pressed under the twelve steps, and the pharaohs are trying to defeat this sun.

Amaterasu must be very clear about the matter of the sun, but in this ladder leading to the sun, summoning the sun would undoubtedly cause some unusual chain reactions, and Blaze could only keep this question in mind for the time being.

As Blaze approached the top of the pyramid, the guards guarding the tomb appeared.

[Pharaoh Guard LV85]

[They were the loyal guards of the pharaohs when they were alive, and they continued to protect the pharaohs in the form of mummies after their death. They gave up going to the reed plains and voluntarily let their souls be imprisoned in their bodies, exchanging their eternal restlessness for the pharaoh's peace in life.]

The appearance of the Pharaoh's guards was full of the routines that foreigners talked about. They stood in the coffin-shaped depressions on both sides of the aisle with weapons in hand, like guards.

Blazer didn't need to get close to know that the mummies in this aisle would definitely launch a sudden attack and ambushed him when he passed by.

That's the problem. Blaze has to go over there, but the situation of having to step into the trap makes him feel suffocated.

So, Blaze summoned the Shadow Werewolf and asked this guy to walk forward to trigger the Pharaoh's guards, so that he would not be counted as stepping into the trap.

The shadow werewolf was very dissatisfied, and it didn't want to step into this corridor that looked like a trap, but Blaze only asked it to take one step forward.

With this step, the Pharaoh's guards on both sides of the aisle opened their eyes instantly and turned their heads to look at the shadow werewolf. Then they opened their mouths and screamed, waving their weapons and slashing at him.

The fighting power of the shadow werewolf was amazing. With a wave of his strong right arm, he smashed a row of Pharaoh guards into the wall. He smashed his left fist downwards and knocked off the head of a mummy guard.

"It looks easy." Blaze turned his head to look at the remains of the Pharaoh's guard on the ground. As expected, the remains were crawling on the ground, looking for the owner of the body.

The mummy series of monsters in this tomb all seem to have more or less the ability to be immortal.

The mural roughly describes the Nile totem, in which the souls of all living beings will leave their bodies while they sleep. They will die every day and be resurrected in the morning.
