Versatile Mage: Undying Fire

Chapter 219 Mummy

When Lin Ran and Mo Fan went to see Ye Xinxia, ​​she was still very busy, so they had to come back.

Mo Fan looked at the pyramids in the distance and said, "Is it possible that Khufu's pyramid will appear?"

As soon as Mo Fan finished speaking, the guard next to him started to scream strangely.

Mo Fan felt that the Egyptian might be scolding him.

"Mo Fan, calm down! It's just a mirage of a small pharaoh's tomb, but it has caused so much suffering here. If something happens to the most terrifying Pyramid of Khufu, it will be a real national disaster!" Jiang Yu couldn't help but say to Mo Fan.

Mo Fan also nodded. He could see that the guard was angry. It seemed that he really couldn’t say such words in a place like this. After all, this was the birthplace of the curse system. If he spoke carelessly, he might suffer retribution!

Lin Ran also looked at the pyramid, hoping to solve this problem as soon as possible. He also planned to spend a few days with Ye Xinxia.

Afterwards, the few of them returned to the team's camp, where they heard Guan Yu talking about his plan.

Mirages usually last for a long time, but if the pyramid is left here, it will be razed to the ground in no time.

Therefore, this mirage must be eliminated. Whenever a mirage pyramid appears in Egypt, the government will spare no effort to send troops to rush to the location of the pyramid, and then use special instruments to eliminate this illusory pyramid. Only in this way will these endless undead creatures leave.

"The biggest threat to the city's army right now is a large group of poisonous gold mummies. The injuries caused by these poisonous gold mummies are generally unhealable, and there are only a few people sent by the Temple Academy who possess magical healing abilities. There are so many injured people, and the number of people who can heal them is very limited. So now the city government hopes that we can come forward and solve the biggest threat, the poisonous gold mummies." Nan Jue said.

"They leave the most dangerous tasks to us. Can't they send out some powerful wizards from their own army?" Mu Tingying said with some dissatisfaction.

"They were sent out before, but it seems they didn't come back."

When several people heard this, their expressions started to become abnormal.

It is obvious that these poisonous gold mummies are definitely not so easy to deal with.

"So I say, to catch a thief, we must first catch the leader. As long as we kill the leader of these mummies, the rest of the poisonous gold mummy army will disintegrate!" Guan Yu said.

Stealth, sneak attacks, and assassinations are all things that Guanyu is very good at, so he would rather assassinate the mummy boss than waste a lot of time fighting the entire mummy army. You know, most of the undead are difficult to kill, and you may not even know whether they are really dead. After all, even if they are torn into pieces, they will crawl out of the ground again after a while. It's endless and extremely annoying.

“But this is too risky. If we fail, the entire team will easily be surrounded by the poisonous gold mummies, and it will be very difficult for the government army to rescue us.” Nan Jue shook her head. She didn’t want to take such a risky move.

“Speaking of which, to solve this problem, shouldn’t we reach the pyramid and eliminate the mirage?” Mo Fan couldn’t help but ask.

At this time, Guan Yu immediately sneered and said with a bit of sarcasm: "Do you really think that the Egyptian dead souls everywhere are all rotten bones? They are all a group of dead soldiers. In addition to killing, they have only one goal in their minds, and that is to protect the pyramid tombs. As long as something appears in the area within ten kilometers of the pyramids, it will be immediately surrounded. If you really want to reach the location of the pyramid, you have to use a large number of wizards' corpses to pave the way!"

“What he said is true. Don’t underestimate this pyramid. There are so many undead spirits surrounding this pyramid that they are even as large as a demon tribe. To kill a group of dead creatures that are more difficult to deal with than demons, who knows how many people will die. So many wounded people here are actually transported back from the front line. With the current position of the army, they can barely send the wounded back to the city, but if they go a few kilometers deeper, there will be basically no room for recovery for the wounded.” Nan Jue said.

"Are there any troops rushing towards the pyramid now?" Mo Fan asked.

“That’s right. We are now about five kilometers away from the suburbs and about thirty kilometers away from the Habo Pyramid. This distance can actually only be considered the periphery of the circle of the dead. However, in order to gain a foothold there, casualties will continue to occur.” Nanjue said.

The army here advances like pushing the waves. To put it simply, a group of vanguards rush out first and then sweep away the undead in front, and build a temporary camp at a fixed location.

After holding this position, they would immediately send another wave of mages to set out. When they arrived at this temporary camp, they would continue to rush forward, just like the back wave pushing the front wave, and then vigorously beat it to a farther place...

When they reach the third destination, they will continue to hold on until they gain a foothold, and then a new batch of troops will be sent from the city, and the new team will rush forward again...

In the process of constantly rushing forward, because the camp and the city always maintain a relatively unobstructed road, the supplies can keep up, the wounded can be sent back, and the tired can be replaced, so as to avoid the situation of being strong at the beginning, then declining, and finally exhausted. After all, this is in the territory of the undead. If the team becomes weak and exhausted, it means that these people are likely to be wiped out, and there is no hope of survival at all.

This method of pushing the waves forward can be regarded as the crystallization of the wisdom of the ancient Egyptian people. Maybe they could have used this method when they were in the ancient capital before, and then they wouldn't have to... That's not right. The situation in the ancient capital was too urgent before, and time did not allow them to use this method to go to the Shayuan.

"The first camp has been set up. We will go there with the army tomorrow morning. They hope that we can help remove the huge obstacle of the poisonous gold mummy and reduce casualties." Nan Jue said.

"It's a war. A lot of people will die." Jiang Yu sighed.

"But it's better than being destroyed."

……

……

In the morning, just as the sky was getting light, a large army appeared in the direction of the west of the city, and most of them were government military mages.

Of course, there were many teams that came to see them off. They all understood that this was a true battlefield of life and death, and no one could guarantee that they would be able to return safely. However, destroying the mirage pyramid was something that must be done. The army's mages were different from those scattered teams that were timid and fearful. Most of the soldiers were proud to be able to destroy the mirage pyramid and surround the city-state!

The Chinese government team also came to support, and naturally they were arranged in the ranks. They also met the staff officer Finna who was on this march. This was a woman over 40 years old. She did not have any feminine softness or charm, only the ability and sharpness of a veteran in the battlefield! "Just follow the team, and the poisonous gold mummy will be left to you." Staff officer Finna's voice sounded a little rough, and his face was solemn and unsmiling.

“We tried our best.” Nanjue said.

After that, the team started to move forward. The road had been cleared once, so there were not as many undead as before, so the team arrived at the camp five kilometers away smoothly.

With the arrival of the second wave of personnel, the team attacking the pyramid also began to advance. This time their mission was to reach a high slope 15 kilometers away from the pyramid. They had to gain a foothold on that high slope. Only in this way could they continue to move forward!
"And at the back of the high slope, there is a group of poisonous gold mummies. These things are masters of poison and are very despicable. They always hide behind other piles of corpses and then poison without anyone noticing, which makes it hard to guard against. Our army will attack the high slope from the front and then build a barrier that is difficult for the undead to enter. We will be the first to reach the back of the high slope. After the army climbs up, you will have to deal with the poisonous gold mummies. You just need to let the large team gain a foothold on the high slope, so you don't necessarily need to fight the poisonous gold mummies to the end." Nan Jue once again explained to everyone in the team.

The members of the National Government were a group of unruly people. Nanjue really didn't want them to lose their lives because of their momentary arrogance. This was one of the most brutal battlefields and it was not a place for fun. Nanjue herself came from the military, so she would not allow anyone to have the slightest idea of ​​disobedience!

Guan Yu couldn't help but curl his lips, he seemed a little dissatisfied.

No one else said anything else. When the main force gradually approached the hill, the Kuomintang team, under the cover of a large group of shadow mages, went around to the back of the hill.

As soon as they climbed over the dusty hillside, they saw a large expanse of golden green, which sparkled under the sunlight.

If you look closely, you will find that this is the poisonous gold skin of the mummies. These mummies with strange behaviors are now lying collectively behind the high slope, and almost cover the entire sloping hillside. From a distance, it looks like spectacular golden-green tiles have been posted on this long hillside...

However, there is an indescribable weirdness and horror. These mummies displayed motionless on the ramp have a highly toxic smell.

……

"Staff officer, do you really think this group of students can deal with these terrible things? If they do nothing, then when we climb up this high slope to set up the barrier, many people will suffer. To be honest, I really think that such a difficult and unstable task should not be handed over to a group of untrustworthy students." said Wankos, the commander of the Eastern Army.

"Since we have chosen them, we must choose to trust them." Staff Officer Finner glanced at the people around him, and then used the fastest speed to estimate how many undead had swarmed here in one minute.

"Then we have to prepare for the worst. If they still need our rescue, then what's the point of calling them here."

"Are you prejudiced against them?"

"I have no prejudice. It's just that in such a serious matter, what worries me most is their incompetence. Even if they are the national government team, they are just a group of green wizards who are still wet behind the ears!" said Wankos, the commander of the Eastern Army, in an aggressive tone.

All the poisonous gold mummies were sleeping now, but they were soon awakened by Lin Ran and others who broke into their resting place.

"Ouch!"

The sounds they made in an instant were as sharp and piercing as those of ghost babies. They were extremely evil, and their eyes suddenly turned bright red. The moment they woke up as a group, one could feel the strong resentment and deathly aura rushing towards them like a violent storm.

“Oh my god, what should I do?” Zhao Manyan looked at the poisonous gold mummy and felt very scared.

“跟
“Why waste time talking to them? Just attack them!” Mo Fan didn’t say anything more. He just picked up his weapon and went to face the group of mummies that were releasing poison.

Just as Staff Officer Finner had told everyone before, these poisonous gold mummies were a group of very cunning and agile poisoners. They generally would not engage in direct combat with the mages. Even though their numbers now far exceeded the Chinese government's team, these poisonous gold mummies still stood on the sloping slope, and then they collectively opened their mouths and spit out a tide of poisonous mist!
The tide of poisonous fog was golden green, like smoke and dust, and it came like a wave.

“Retreat, retreat!” Nan Jue now felt something was wrong, so she hurriedly shouted to everyone.

These poisonous gold waves are extremely powerful and toxic. No one will joke with their own life.

……

"What did I say before? These guys are totally unreliable!" said Eastern Army Commander Wankos angrily.

Now the entire government army has begun to rush up the slope from the front, and countless undead are surrounding them from all directions. The situation is becoming more and more urgent.

But now, Wankos found that the group of students were forced back by the wave of poisonous gold and were fleeing in panic, which made Wankos very angry.

Wait, there seems to be another person here. Is this guy an idiot?

Everyone else had fled, but he still hadn't. Did he really think he could handle these undead? Did he think he was an angel of salvation?

He hated these students more and more.

Just when he was angry, he found that flames appeared on the figure that did not escape. The flames were extremely fierce and rose high in an instant.

Then the flames gradually condensed into a giant fire dragon.

The giant dragon opened its mouth and spewed out flames, engulfing all the poisonous gold mummies in an instant.

Wankos widened his eyes. How the hell did he get rid of all the poisonous gold mummies at once? Was he hallucinating?
