The group headed to the Bargo Land once again. They went around the Sunset Valley, avoiding the snake demons before the Queen of the Netherworld was done with them.
They arrived at the Land of Gold in Gisele after passing by Sunset Valley.
Apparently, the sand in Gisele was made from the ashes that countless dead bodies eventually turned into after they were exposed to deathlight and sunlight for a long time. When Mo Fan saw the spectacular glimmering sand, he could not help but feel a great chill running down his spine.
The Land of Gold was so huge. How many lives did it take to form such sparkling land? The ancient pharaohs were truly extravagant...
”They believe that the only way to display their noble status is to build their tombs on a land like this. It shows that they are the true rulers of all things in the universe,” Meos said somberly.
Zhao Manyan glanced at the tanned Meos with a proud face. He was clearly displeased by her presence. He nudged Mo Fan and asked, ”Why is this woman going with us?”
”I didn't want to, either, but the Formations in the Pyramid are similar to the Formations along the Parthenon Temple's Starry Mountain Path. Super Mages are greatly restricted by those Formations. Otherwise, why do you think we never figured out the secrets that the Pyramids hold, even with the help of so many experts, including Forbidden Mages? Haken is the main supporter of Egypt's national team. If they don't step forward at a time like this, who else is going to volunteer themselves?” Mo Fan said helplessly.
Meos was the Vice-Captain of Egypt's national team. Mo Fan had stumbled into her at New Suez. To his surprise, Haken summoned her directly from New Suez so she could join the operation.
”Meos is fine, but why is that annoying shorty and that arrogant Sayed here, too? Aren't they nothing but trouble for us!?” Zhao Manyan glanced at Shreev, whom he referred to as the shorty, and Sayed, who was obviously unwilling to tag along.
Meos, Shreev, and Sayed were all representatives of the national team. Their undead strategy had gained them a lot of attention during the World College Tournament. If they had not happened to face Mo Fan the battle maniac, they might actually have won first place.
General Haken was generous enough to place these young talents of his country under Mo Fan's command.
Mo Fan was not against the idea of having more people in the group. After all, Meos, Shreev, and Sayed were more familiar with their country. The short Shreev was even an academic that had done a lot of research on the ancient Egyptian language, and was quite knowledgeable when it came to the Pyramids in Egypt.
”So you're telling me that the shorty actually invented the Pharaoh Spring?” Zhao Manyan asked in disbelief.
Shreev was not particularly strong on the national team, perhaps because he had put a lot of attention on conducting experiments on the undead. He had invented the Pharaoh Spring with a special energy collected from some other Pyramids. It allowed a Mage with the Undead Element to Summon a huge number of Underworld creatures to fight on their behalf over a long time. It was basically granted every member on the national team the ability to cast the Summoning Tide an unlimited number of times.
They might not be as strong as Mo Fan, but they still had the Pharaoh Spring, meaning that their fighting capacity was beyond their current level of cultivation!
Speaking of which, Mo Fan still had some Pharaoh Spring with him. The Little Loach Pendant had collected the Pharaoh Spring from the undead that Egypt's national team had Summoned during the World College Tournament, taking it to fill up his experience bar. Unfortunately, there was not that much Pharaoh Spring. If he had just a little more, the Little Loach Pendant might be able to level up, helping Mo Fan improve faster!
”Meos, I will now make it clear that you must follow my orders at all times during the operation. Don't let your pride and your personal grudge get in our way,” Mo Fan said sternly to Meos and the others.
”Humph, save it for yourself, we know how important the mission is,” Meos said with her usual proud face.
Shreev was the typical shameless kind. When he knew they were currently tied on the same boat, he kept sharing his discoveries and experiments on the Pyramids that he had been performing since he was quite young. The people had no clue what he was talking about, yet he was still having a blast sharing it with them.
Sayed was even worse; the guy had no intention of joining the team, but he was forced by his superiors to come along.
Most frustratingly, Sayed had just finished his mission. He was about to enjoy a good time with the two sexy female soldiers after reporting to his superior, yet he had to witness Major General Gangma's death...
That being said, Sayed had no idea that it was Mo Fan who had killed Gangma, and had actually used him to bring the Dark Material in. If he knew the truth, he would most likely have fought Mo Fan to the death on the spot!
