1592 The Sequence of the Chambers (2/2)

To his surprise, the demon in his body was indeed hibernating. He could feel his organs trembling when he recalled how reckless he had been throughout the journey!

”Mo Fan, so what was that when you were facing the Scorpion Lord Medusa?” Mu Bai asked. He roughly guessed what was going on.

”I was just acting,” Mo Fan replied a trembling voice.

Life was but a show that relied heavily on a person's acting skill. Mo Fan knew he was dead for sure when he realized he could not use the Demon Element. However, he happened to notice the fear on the Scorpion Lord Medusa's face. He decided to go with the flow, using the presence of the Demon Element that might deflate at any second, to pretend that he was going to fight the Scorpion Lord Medusa to the death!

It was indeed thrilling now that he recalled what had happened. If the Scorpion Lord Medusa doubted him just a little, the Scorpion Lord Medusa would be picking its teeth by now, and it was his meat that would be stuck between them...

”So you're saying we don't even have a backup plan?” Mu Bai asked.

”Mm, there's none,” Mo Fan admitted with a wry smile.

They initially had the Queen of the Netherworld as their backup, but she was now busy handling the Snake Scorpion Horde. If the second chamber was guarded by the Scorpion Lord Medusa, the next two chambers… Mo Fan seriously thought they should consider ending their lives peacefully while they still had the chance!

”Old Zhao, can't you Summon your tortoise over?” Mo Fan asked after giving it some thought. It was most likely the only thing they could rely on.

”Summon my ass, we are in a Pyramid protected by magic Formations. Why don't you give the Black Totem Snake a satellite call and ask him to come over instead?” Zhao Manyan grunted back.

”It was a mistake, I miscalculated,” Mo Fan admitted.

As a matter of fact, even provoking a Super Mage was a foolish act when Mo Fan's Demon Element was not available. He could not help but wonder where he had found his courage to challenge a higher-level Mage!

”Mo Fan, if we can survive this, can we just break off with one another?” Zhao Manyan sighed.

”Old Zhao, don't be like that, we've overcome the most difficult situations. Do you think it's going to be harder the next time?” Mo Fan reassured him.

”I believe there wouldn't be a last time or this time if I wasn't with you. Mo Fan, we are just Advanced Mages. The others might even think we are f**king Forbidden Mages if they knew what we've been through!” Zhao Manyan snarled.

”You're right...” Mo Fan humbly accepted the condemnation.

Mo Fan agreed he should be more humble and stay lower-profile when his Demon Element was still hibernating. If there was a way to leave the Great Pyramid of Giza, Mo Fan would surely be the first to leave now. Damn it, he was going to pay for this with his life. He was still so young, he had yet to have a lot of babies with Xinxia and Xuexue, he did not want to die!

”What are you all talking about?” Shreev was confused.

Meos and Sayed had no idea what Mo Fan and Zhao Manyan were yelling about, as they were talking in Chinese.

Heidi did not understand them either, but she remembered how they had mentioned the Great Pyramid of Giza had shown up in China's Beijiang. She could not help but think that Mo Fan had indeed fought against these powerful creatures before...

But the question was, how did he do it? He was only an Advanced Mage!

Were the accusations from the Holy Judgment Court and Heresy Judgment Court real? Did the guy really have some forbidden power in him?

”Actually, we don't have to be so depressed,” Shreev spoke up after he felt a different atmosphere from the group.

”We aren't depressed, we just lost our will to live!” Zhao Manyan sighed.

”...” Shreev noticed how low-spirited everyone was. He said, ”Didn't I mention before? There are certain patterns to the four doors. It's like a Rubik's cube; it might seem complicated, but once we find the right patterns, we will be able to solve the mystery. We've taken a few correct doors, so I should be able to deduce the sequence of the chambers.”

”What difference is that going to make?” Zhao Manyan said.

”Of course it makes a difference to us! Once we know the sequence, we can easily avoid the chambers with powerful guardians. For example, we've reached the chamber of the Scorpion Lord Medusa from the Advisor Mummy's chamber, but if we know the sequence, we can take the right door, next the front door, then the back door, and finally the front door to reach the correct chamber by skipping the Scorpion Lord Medusa's chamber,” Shreev said.

”We can skip them?” Mo Fan's eyes glittered.

”Yes, if we go inside a chamber and realize the Mummy is too strong for us, we can just skip it, even though it would mean passing through more chambers and encountering more Mummies. Well, it's still better than fighting a strong creature like the Scorpion Lord Medusa, right?” Shreev asked brightly.
