Outside the Sun City, the scorching sun that had burned the earth all day finally set.
Li Lin and Kassadin tied the reins of Skarash behind a relatively hidden collapsed wall, which just completely concealed them.
Afterwards, Li Lin set the Morning Light to stealth mode and left it there, and switched a Storm robot to combat mode.
If anyone approaches and attempts to steal Skarash, the Storm Robot will fire a warning shot first.
If you continue to act on your own, you will be shot to death by the storm.
After settling the supply issues, Li Lin and Kassadin took the other two Storms and quietly went to the ruins of the City of the Sun to look for traces of the expedition team.
The two of them hid for a long time behind a pillar beside a sand dune somewhere in the distance.
Li Lin and Kassadin didn't approach until all of them had gone down into the mausoleum through the huge triangular metal door.
As soon as he reached the door, Li Lin noticed something unusual, "Huh? This is..."
Next to the triangular marble door frame, there were several mummies with skin turned black and purple, obviously dressed as Sivir mercenaries.
However, their weapons, food and water were taken away, leaving only this loose and no longer fitting set of clothes.
"How did they become like this?"
Hearing Li Lin's low exclamation, Kassadin hurriedly ran over from the entrance of the tomb and squatted down to check the condition of the bodies.
"Have you ever seen this situation?" Li Lin asked.
"Looking at the skin, it looks like it's poisoned, or cursed in some way?" Kassadin's mechanical voice sounded heavy. "I've been in the desert for so many years, and I've never seen anything like this before..."
Li Lin frowned and turned on [Data Thinking] to check the condition of the corpse.
The system panel showed that these people were suffering from a curse and their vitality was instantly drained away, causing them to die.
[Curse of the Spinning Bakay (Weakened): Every time a grain of sand is spilled, their lifespan decreases by one second, slowly eroding like the wind (because the curse on the gate lasted too long, the effect of the curse has been greatly weakened).]
Bake...
When Li Lin saw the title on the system panel, he almost gasped.
The Shurima ascension ceremony is not 100% successful. Even for qualified people, there is a high probability that the ascension will fail due to various reasons.
The Bakais were supposed to join the ranks of the ascenders, but ended up turning into monsters that were neither human nor god.
But like normal god warriors, Bakay who failed to ascend also has eternal life and more dangerous and difficult to control powerful magic power, and cannot be killed by normal means.
They bore the humiliation of failing to ascend, and most of them were arranged by the Shurima Emperor to be buried in various tombs or ruins, where they were immersed in darkness and endured long periods of loneliness.
The curse on the entrance gate of the mausoleum was left by Bakay, who could manipulate sand to plunder life force.
If the empire had not fallen, the effect of the curse on the gate would have faded a lot with the passage of time.
Otherwise, it would be quite easy to kill everyone in the expedition team with this magic spell that is almost as powerful as that of an ascender.
"It seems their exploration of the ancient tomb is not going well..."
Kassadin shook his head, stood up and looked at Li Lin who was in deep thought.
"Are you sure you want to go down? This imperial tomb seems even more dangerous than the tomb of the god-warrior Horok that I excavated before.
"I predict that even with Sivir's guidance, their exploration this time will most likely end in failure...
"I don't know why they are so eager to excavate this tomb, but one thing is certain: they will probably be wiped out."
As expected of a desert guide with over thirty years of experience, you're truly a prophet...
Li Lin felt quite emotional.
According to his understanding of the background, all the mercenaries brought by Xiweier were indeed killed.
However, many of Cassiopeia's men survived and escorted her back to Uzeris, the port occupied by the Du Kecao family.
Seeing that Li Lin remained silent, Kassadin spoke again, "There are so many women like Sivir in the Great Seljuk. I don't recommend you spend too much time and energy on a 'mercenary' who is only interested in money, or even risk your life for her..."
He thought that Li Lin had fallen in love with Xiweier after being together for more than a month.
Hearing Kassadin's meaning, Li Lin couldn't help but laugh: "You seem to have misunderstood something... I have no interest in Sivir."
“…”
Kassadin lowered his head and remained silent for a moment. "If you want the treasures in the tomb, I can help you find the tombs of other ascended beings. They're relatively safer."
Li Lin shook his head and didn't directly respond to his suggestion. "Let's wait and see the situation. If there's any danger, we'll retreat immediately."
…
…
At the same time, in the tombs of emperors and ascenders.
With a terrified look on her face, Sivir was panting and running wildly in the spacious corridor, looking back from time to time.
Behind her, screams continued to be heard, echoing in the empty corridor leading to the mausoleum.
Just now, a huge monster wearing royal-style golden metal armor and with its chest and abdomen filled with dark blue magic flames suddenly rushed out from a corner.
It has two dog heads that look like stone sculptures, and two strong human arms that are more than ten meters long support its broken body. Together with the beast's short and thick hind legs and python-like tail, it exudes a terrifying aura.
In just a moment, the blue magic flames burning in its chest engulfed Sivir's four men, turning everything on them, including clothes and weapons, into flesh-colored sand and absorbing it into its body.
