1592 The Sequence of the Chambers (1/2)
Edited by Aelryinth
Mo Fan stared at the Scorpion Lord Medusa, his eyes wide and aura dangerous. Most importantly, he was grinning at all times, displaying his disdain for the creature.
The Scorpion Lord Medusa slowly sank into its hole and returned to the darkness.
If its wounds were not constantly reminding it of how humiliating the fight in the past was, it was unlikely it would have backed away from the fight today.
Luckily, the chambers were secluded. Even if they made it to the Pharaoh Chamber, Khufu would never know it had gone easy on these humans. Would it make a difference if it tried to fight the human? The guy even beat the crap out of the Sphinx! It knew how much weaker it was than the Sphinx!
”Humph!” Mo Fan was still grinning coldly. He did not lower his guard even after the Scorpion Lord Medusa returned to its hole.
A soft sound came from behind him. Mo Fan turned around and saw Heidi slowly recovering from the Petrify Magic.
Her limbs were still a little stiff. She had to wait for a few minutes before beng able to move again. However, her eyes never left Mo Fan as she waited.
Mo Fan had really scared the Great Ruler-level creature away!
”How did you do it?” Heidi's eyes were full of doubt.
When the others recovered, they had the same look in their eyes. They had all witnessed how Mo Fan had driven the Scorpion Lord Medusa away. To their disbelief, the Scorpion Lord Medusa acted as if Mo Fan did indeed beat it up in the past!
How was that even possible!?
Despite how strong Mo Fan was, he was still as insignificant as a bug to the Scorpion Lord Medusa. Was the Scorpion Lord Medusa the kind that would scream and run around the house like a little girl after seeing a little spider or caterpillar?
The group remained silent for a long time. Shreev led them to the door he believed was correct. The others followed him, their minds still blank.
They eventually reached the passage. It felt a little safer there. They slowly turned around to look at the chamber.
They stood in the passage for some time, still wondering if everything that happened was real. Did they really just walk out of the chamber of the Scorpion Lord Medusa perfectly unharmed?
”Mo Fan, you're really something. That Scorpion Lord Medusa is really scared of you after you beat it up the first time. It actually let us pass!” Zhao Manyan knew the details of the invasion of the Great Pyramid of Giza, so he was not too surprised by the Scorpion Lord Medusa's reaction. He walked up to Mo Fan and patted him heavily on his shoulder.
”Ugh...” Mo Fan fell feebly to the ground after Zhao Manyan patted him on the shoulder, covered in cold sweat.
His shirt was soaked through in just a few seconds. His breathing was heavy, and his face was extremely pale!
”I'm fine...I'm fine, it's just, I almost wet myself!” Mo Fan took a deep breath to calm himself down.
Heidi, Shreev, and Meos were utterly dumbfounded. Wasn't Mo Fan acting all mighty and smug just then? They almost believed he was actually a deity in human form, who had decided to show his true power when facing the Scorpion Lord Medusa. Why did he look so miserable all of a sudden?
”We are in grave trouble!” Mo Fan told Zhao Manyan.
”What trouble? Isn't it working so far? You managed to scare the Scorpion Lord Medusa away. Perhaps the rest of the chambers are guarded by creatures that you've beaten up before. Our path is full of green lights. If you can't scare them, you can just beat them up again! I think we're pretty close to the Day and Dusk Compass. Khufu is in deep sleep, too. If we can take care of his annoying subordinates, our job here will be done!” Zhao Manyan exclaimed.
Mo Fan dragged Zhao Manyan to the side and whispered in his ear.
Zhao Manyan burst out laughing and slapped Mo Fan on the shoulder. ”HAHAHA, are you seriously joking with me at a time like this? Do you think I'm going to believe you? I know that you will only use it as a last resort...”
Mo Fan stared at Zhao Manyan, using the sincere look in his eyes to convince Zhao Manyan that he was not joking, he was being dead serious!
Zhao Manyan's smile stiffened. He grabbed Mo Fan by the collar and cursed, ”F**k your cousin's sister, why didn't you tell me earlier? Only a psycho would go inside a Pyramid with you if it wasn't for your trump card, and now you're telling me you don't even have your trump card? I'll kill you and kill myself!”
”Calm down, calm down! Zhao Manyan, stop behaving like a mad dog all the time!” Mu Bai quickly pulled Zhao Manyan back.
”Seriously, why do I always be friends with the wrong person?!...” Zhao Manyan was about to lose his mind.
Mo Fan was about to go crazy, too. It turned out that his Demon Element had been unavailable all along. Xinxia did remind him that he would not be able to use the Demon Element for a year or two. If he forced himself, it would only result in greater consequences. Mo Fan had not thought much about it. He thought Xinxia was just worried he was overburdening his body.
