The Vampire main ship flew over the African continent for seven hours. When the outline of the Sahara Desert appeared below the porthole, Lin Yuan finally understood the weight of the word "sea of sand" - the crimson golden sand dunes stretched all the way to the horizon, the midday sun was distorting the air, and occasionally a few dried camel bones would pass by in the distance. The wind carried sand grains across the sand dunes Let out a "SOB" sound like a ghostly whisper.
"Warning!" A strong sandstorm has been detected approaching, with wind speeds reaching level 12, making it impossible to land smoothly! The alarm on the main ship suddenly went off, and the control console screen was instantly covered with an orange-red sandstorm warning. Sylvia's fingertips fluttered, and her psychic power was infused into the control system: "Activate the wind-resistant mode, lower the altitude, and make an emergency landing at the edge of the desert oasis!" There is a sand layer as a buffer there, making it relatively safe!"
The main ship was jolting violently in the sandstorm, and its metal hull was crackling with the sound of sand grains. Elena quickly walked to the cabin door, and a thick metal plate condensed in her palm. "When making an emergency landing, I used metal to build a buffer layer. Lin Yuan, you use the power of the Wolf God to protect the core of the ship. Don't let the sandstorm sweep away the energy core of the main ship!" Lin Yuan nodded and attached the heart of the Wolf God to the outer shell of the ship's energy cabin. Golden light spread along the metal grain, forming a wind-resistant shield.
When the main ship smashed a deep ditch in the sandy area at the edge of the oasis, a sandstorm just swept in. The orange-red sand wall, like a galloping giant beast, instantly swallowed up the figure of the main ship. Lin Yuan leaned against the cabin wall and could clearly feel the vibration of the sand grains hitting the shield. From the communicator came Finn's anxious voice: "Young master, our contact point in North Africa has lost signal. I'm afraid..."
It was done by the dark forces. Lin Yuan interrupted him. His Wolf ears quivered slightly, catching the faint spiritual energy fluctuations mixed in the sandstorm - it was dark energy of the same origin as the blood core of Valerus, but older and more violent. "They arrived before us and have already taken control of the stronghold at the edge of the desert."
When the sandstorm subsided, the setting sun had already dyed the desert a dark golden color. Lin Yuan and the other two stepped out of the main ship. The sand beneath their feet still carried the warmth of the day. The spring water in the oasis was faintly glowing not far away, but when they got closer, they smelled a faint smell of blood. Elena crouched down, her fingertips picking up a pinch of blood-stained sand. "It's the blood of the desert Wolf Spirit, fresh. A battle should have just taken place."
"Who allowed you to set foot in the land of Holy Sand?" " A rough shout came from the top of the sand dune. Immediately after, dozens of grey figures leaped out from behind the dune. They wore short animal skin armor, their skin was a deep brown from the sun exposure, and they dragged fluffy sandy yellow Wolf tails behind them. In their hands, they held curved knives embedded with obsidian, and their Wolf eyes were full of vigilance - precisely the desert Wolf spirits mentioned by Green Feather.
The leading Wolf spirit was tall and had a deep, bone-visible scar on his left shoulder. His curved sword was pointed straight at Lin Yuan: "The black-cloaked man just killed our people. You come with the same dark aura. Don't even think about approaching the pyramid!" " He swung his sword sharply, and a sand blade shot out from the ground, aiming at Lin Yuan's ankle.
Lin Yuan did not dodge but raised the heart of the Wolf God high. Golden light pierced through the twilight, illuminating the faces of all the desert Wolf spirits: "I am Lin Yuan, the son of Aila, the guardian of the Wolf race." "I have come to seal the gates of hell, not to harm my people." He pointed to the pattern on the curved blade of the leading Wolf spirit - it was the protective amulet that shared the same origin as the heart of the Wolf God. "This is the mark bestowed upon the desert Wolf spirit by the Wolf God, right?" "
The curved sword of the leading Wolf spirit landed with a "clang". He quickly walked up to Lin Yuan, reached out and touched the light of the Wolf God's heart. The spiritual energy at his fingertips interwove with the golden light to form a sandy yellow light band. "I'm 'Shaya', the leader of the Desert Wolf spirits," his voice changed from tense to hoarse. "The black-cloaked men broke into the oasis three days ago, saying they were looking for the 'key to the Wolf God'. If we didn't follow, they began to massacre their people." According to ancient records, only those with the heart of a Wolf god can break the seal of the pyramid and also...
Only in this way can the dark forces be prevented from opening the gates of hell. Lin Yuan took his words. The heart of the Wolf God in his palm slightly warmed up and strongly resonated with the direction of the distant pyramids. "What they want is not the key, but my pure blood spiritual energy." Only pure-blooded werewolves can activate the ancient runes within the pyramid and help them completely open the gates of hell.
Shaya led everyone through the sand dunes. From afar, the outline of the pyramid could be seen - the top of the Pyramid of Khufu was emitting a strange black gas, and the surrounding sand was covered with black runes. Dozens of black-cloaked people were surrounding the entrance of the pyramid, activating the runes with dark energy. "They are destroying the guard formation of the pyramid!" " Shaya's Wolf ears stood up. "Once the guardian array is broken, the energy of the Hell Gate will turn the entire desert into a purgatory!"
"Division of labor and action!" " Lin Yuan quickly set up tactics, "Shaya, lead your people to flank from both sides and use sandstorms to disrupt their rune activation." Elena, build a defense barrier with metal to block their dark rays; Sylvia, keep the leader of the Black Cloak in check and don't let him get close to the entrance. "I'm going to destroy the core of the rune array!"
With a howl from Shaya, the desert Wolf spirits immediately scattered. They injected their spiritual energy into the sand, and countless sand columns shot up from the ground, forming a sandstorm barrier. The rune activation rhythm of the Black-cloaked people was instantly disrupted. The metal in Elena's palm melted into liquid and spread rapidly on the sand, solidifying into a metal wall with the pattern of holy silver, blocking the black rays that were approaching. The rays hit the wall, making a "sizzling" burning sound.
Sylvia's long silver sword charged towards the black-cloaked leader like lightning. The leader wore a bronze mask and held a scepter inlaid with a skull in his hand. With a wave of the scepter, a thick beam of dark energy shot towards Sylvia. "Even the good-for-nothings in Valerius can't stop you. It seems I'll have to do it myself." The voice beneath the bronze mask was as hoarse as sand. "I am the 'Bone Staff', one of the openers of the gates of hell."
Taking advantage of the chaos, Lin Yuan charged towards the core of the rune array. The black runes on the sandy ground were emitting a faint light, and a black crystal was embedded in the core, which was the source of the dark energy. He pressed the heart of the Wolf God onto the crystal. Golden light spread along the runes, and the black runes were instantly suppressed, making a "crackling" sound of shattering. "In the name of the guardians of the Wolf race, purify!"
"Look for death!" " The bone staff suddenly shook off Sylvia. The staff pointed straight at Lin Yuan's back. A black mist shot out of the skull's mouth. When the mist hit the ground, it transformed into countless poisonous scorpions and crawled towards Lin Yuan's ankles. Shaya arrived in time. Wolf's claw struck out a sand blade, crushing all the poisonous scorpions: "Your opponent is me!" "
Lin Yuan seized the opportunity to inject all the power of the Wolf God into the crystal. The moment the golden light burst, the black crystal shattered with a loud crash, and all the runes on the sandy ground went out. The man in the black cloak let out a scream, and his body began to melt in the golden light. Seeing this, the bone staff suddenly thrust its scepter into the sand. A black crack suddenly lit up at the entrance of the pyramid, and a stronger dark energy gushed out: "You won't win!" Deep in the pyramid, the remnant soul of Lord Raymond has awakened. He will return with the army of Hell!"
Sylvia's long sword pierced the heart of the bone staff, and the bronze mask dropped onto the sand, revealing a face covered with runes. Raymond died long ago. Your illusions should be shattered. The body of the bone staff turned into black smoke and dissipated, leaving only a shrill curse: "The curse of the pyramids will haunt you..." No one can escape...
Lin Yuan walked up to the entrance of the pyramid. The black crack was slowly contracting, and ancient rune whispers came from inside, forming a strange echo with the beating of the Wolf God's heart. Sha Ya walked up to him, his expression solemn: "Ancient books record that deep in the pyramid there is a 'Wolf God Altar'. To seal the gates of hell, one needs the heart of the Wolf God, the Sha Energy of the desert Wolf spirit, and..." A sacred object from ancient Egypt, the "Eye of Horus".
Where is the Eye of Horus? Elena asked, the metal claw blade gently touching the stone wall of the pyramid, feeling the energy fluctuations inside. Shaya shook his head. "I don't know, but the frescoes on the altar depict that the Eye of Horus is hidden in the 'Pharaoh's Tomb Chamber', where there are countless mechanisms and the last line of defense left by the black cloak."
Sylvia examined the scepter left by the bone staff. A broken map was embedded in the skull's eye socket: "This is the route map of the pharaoh's tomb chamber. Although it's not complete, it can avoid most of the traps." She handed the map to Lin Yuan, her silver pupils brimming with determination. "No matter what's inside, we must go in." This is the last node.
Lin Yuan took the map. The heart of the Wolf God was burning in his palm, as if urging him to move forward. He gazed into the depths of the pyramids. In the darkness, it seemed as if countless pairs of eyes were watching them, but he no longer hesitated - beside him was Sylvia's coldness, Elena's efficiency, and the support of Shaya and the Desert Wolf Spirit, with the expectations of the various ethnic alliances behind him.
"Let's go." Lin Yuan was the first to enter the entrance of the pyramid. Golden light formed a shield around him, illuminating the deep passage ahead. Shaya followed closely behind with several desert Wolf spirits. The sand energy condensed beneath their feet, avoiding the traps on the ground of the passage. Sylvia and Elena walked at the back, vigilantly observing any movements behind them.
Deep in the passage, the ancient murals gradually became clear under the glow of the Heart of the Wolf God. The paintings depicted the scene of the Wolf God and the ancient Egyptian gods joining forces to seal the demons. The last one showed the Wolf God embedding a golden heart into the pyramid - that was precisely the Heart of the Wolf God. Lin Yuan's fingertips swept across the mural, and a strong premonition suddenly welled up in his heart: Deep within the pyramid, there was not only the final seal of the gates of hell, but also the ultimate secret about the origin of the Wolf God
