1589 Scorpion Lord Medusa, Part One (2/2)

”Crap, are you out of your mind? How valuable are Commander-level Soul Essences? Are you seriously wasting them on a bunch of Summoned Beasts that are living in the Summoned Beast Plane!?” Zhao Manyan yelled.

The yell was so loud that it woke the others, especially Sayed. He had been listening to their conversation all along.

”A**hole, you son of a b**ch, I'm going to kill you!” Sayed lost his calm right away.

Mo Fan had used the Soul Essences he had collected to strengthen the beasts he Summoned with the Summoning Gate!?!

How lightly was Mo Fan treating the Soul Essences!? He had sweated blood just to collect the Soul Essences!

”Ling!~”

Little Flame Belle was lying on Mo Fan's head. She immediately landed on the ground and burst into flames when she saw Sayed threatening to harm Mo Fan. The Little Flame Belle immediately transformed into her battle form, the Flame Belle!

The elegant and slender woman engulfed in flames possessed an imperious bearing. Flame Belle stood between Mo Fan and Sayed, her flames lunging in Sayed's direction. He immediately halted in his tracks and had no choice but to withhold his anger.

As a matter of fact, he could not even defeat Little Flame Belle, let alone Mo Fan!

”Since we might not make it out alive, isn't it better to use the Soul Essences to improve our strength?” Mo Fan said shamelessly.

”I'm less than a thousandth of you when it comes to being extravagant,” Zhao Manyan admitted helplessly.

”Are we done resting?” Mo Fan asked, ignoring him.

Mo Fan had given the eight Commander-level Soul Essences to the Enormous White Wolves. He believed it was only a matter of time until they evolved into Commander-level creatures. He would give them some time to digest the energy of the Soul Essences before feeding them with his energy. It was unlikely they would fail to evolve.

Mo Fan was planning to let them go on a vacation to find themselves a new base, but since he was clearly going to face some tough battles soon, he had no choice but to ask the new recruits to settle down close to the cave first. He would let them conquer a new mountain once he was done with his mission inside the Pyramid!

”We are done resting, but the question is, are we brave enough to keep going?” Meos asked.

”We can't go back the way we came, might as well keep going,” Mo Fan said.

”Let's go; perhaps it's not as scary as we've imagined. I've been observing the rules of these chambers, maybe I can solve the mystery in the next chamber!” Shreev said cheerfully.

There were four doors available. The group followed Shreev's instructions and entered the next chamber.

The passage was quite long this time. It took them about half an hour to reach the next chamber.

The new chamber was similar to the ones before, but there were lots of ancient drawings and markings of scorpions and snakes on the walls. The drawings were related to the era of the Pharoahs' reigns. They were not difficult to understand, but the marks of snakes and scorpions were all over the walls. One would even think that the walls were made of snakeskin and scorpion shells if they did not take a closer look at the walls.

”That's strange, there isn't any sarcophagus in here… oh my...” Zhao Manyan was going forward when he almost stepped on an empty space and fell into it. Luckily, he managed to react and turn around in time.

Zhao Manyan pulled his leg back and saw a giant hole in the ground.

To make things worse, even the walls in the hole were full of scorpion and snake Runes. They had completely merged with the walls and the ground. It was very difficult to spot the hole from afar, and it was surprisingly deep, too!

Zhao Manyan looked into the hole and saw the bottom was pitch-black. It felt like he was going to be devoured by the darkness in the bottomless chasm.

”Can you see a sarcophagus at the bottom?” Meos asked.

”I don't see it, but I can see something moving down there,” Heidi said.

”It looks like seagrass, it's wriggling,” Mu Bai agreed.

”Don't you feel like they are slowly rising in the hole?” Mo Fan asked softly.

The others quickly observed the things that were wriggling in the dark, and noticed they were indeed moving towards them. They finally realized the seagrass was actually a bunch of blue snakes!

The tails of the snakes seemed to be fixed to a certain spot. Their bodies and heads were constantly writhing around like seaweed. It was utterly terrifying once they were able to see the snakes.

It was spooky to see the snakes bundled up in such great numbers. The group soon realized something scarier as the snakes kept rising from the hole!

Below the snakes was an enormous head!

The wriggling snakes were only hairs on that head, able to move their own. They were lunging fiercely in the direction of the living humans!

The head slowly rose. Its triangular glowing yellow eyes stared at the group above the hole, sending great chills down their spines!
