Chapter 116 Searching for the Gem of Life
Four o'clock in the morning.
A desert millions of miles away from China is experiencing a huge sandstorm.
The temperature was volcanically hot, and it was nighttime, so it was impossible to see clearly.
Scorpions as big as shoes were crawling all over the ground, making hissing sounds, and there were also lizards, snakes and other highly poisonous creatures.
And suddenly, these little animals stopped, as if time had stood still.
In an instant, their skin shriveled up, their flesh and blood turned into nothingness, leaving only a shell, deader than dead.
Wisps of red energy floated out from the body and poured into the center of the sandstorm. It could be vaguely seen that there seemed to be a group of people in the middle of the sandstorm.
As the group walked out of the sandstorm, the leaders were three mummies! Moreover, behind the mummies were many people from the Pharaoh Kingdom, holding shovels and hoes in their hands, as if they were here to open up new territory.
Eight people from the Pharaoh's country carried a bed, and the Pharaoh lay leisurely on the bed, with two maids kneeling beside him and fanning him.
"King, what are we doing here?" A citizen of Pharaoh's country asked in confusion. He was originally the leader of Pharaoh's country.
Now that the Pharaoh has awakened, he naturally abdicated.
Hearing this, the Pharaoh slowly opened his eyes and breathed a sigh of relief: "Yes, it's here."
The Pharaoh jumped up and landed steadily on the ground. According to his memory, he came to a huge rock.
There was an inverted triangle symbol engraved on the boulder, and only he knew that this was the symbol after the four of them obtained the life gem and it was divided into four pieces.
When he was told by the prophet that something big would happen in the future, he told the other three people about it. The three of them were faster than him and quickly found a place and began to sleep.
He was the last one to fall asleep, and he still remembered the positions where the other three people slept, and his master also knew it.
During this time, he has been helping his master find the remaining gems, and this is the first one.
"Dig, dig up all the sand here!" Pharaoh shouted, pointing at the sand under his feet.
The reason he brought these people here was to make them do hard labor.
The king's orders cannot be disobeyed.
Hundreds of people started digging immediately, especially those mummies, and they did it very quickly and without feeling tired.
After digging for about half an hour, a large pit had been dug out. Ordinary people began to breathe heavily, sweating profusely, and their lips were pale.
This is a sign of dehydration. If this continues, I'm afraid I'll faint.
Because the temperature here is so high, it is still very hot even at night.
And the more they dug, the weaker they felt, as if something was sucking their strength.
"Stop." Pharaoh suddenly shouted, and everyone stopped immediately.
The Pharaoh rushed to the middle of the pit with an excited look on his face, and excitedly used his hands to push away the sand, shocking everyone else.
They had never seen Pharaoh look like this.
But what shocked them even more was that a stone plate that was twice as big as the manhole cover slowly appeared in the middle.
Moreover, various obscure and mysterious symbols are engraved on the surface of the stone, as if they were alien objects.
"What is this, is it from outer space?"
"Did the king already know that this thing existed here?"
"It looks like it has existed for hundreds of years."
The people of Pharaoh's kingdom exclaimed in surprise, as if they had never seen the world before.
"Wake up, my friend!" When the Pharaoh saw the stone plate, he smiled with joy and raised his right hand high. A powerful and pure life energy condensed in his hand.
Bang! The Pharaoh slammed the stone plate, and energy filled the stone plate, infusing it, filling the symbols, causing it to emit a red light that went straight to the sky! The stone plate made a creaking sound, which surprised everyone present.
"Go up." Pharaoh said lightly.
Everyone immediately began to climb up, each faster than the other.
The stone disc began to rotate on its own, making the sound of turning gears, and it stopped after about three minutes.
Phew.
A muffled sound came from the stone plate, and an incredible scene appeared: the stone plate actually rose slowly.
A cylindrical unidentified object appeared in front of everyone. It kept rising and only stopped when it was almost as high as the Pharaoh.
With another strange sound, the cylinder slowly opened, revealing a perfectly intact corpse with no signs of decay! "What is this, a corpse?"
"Why isn't it rotten? Even if it's a newly buried body, everything would rot at this temperature."
"Yeah, it's not buried in the North Pole."
The people of Pharaoh's kingdom were horrified when they saw the intact corpse.
Why did Wang come all the way here to look for a corpse?
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
And he looked excited.
"Old friend, I finally see you." Pharaoh grinned and poured the life energy in his hand into the corpse in front of him.
This is his old friend. They had agreed that whoever wakes up first will help wake up the other three.
As life energy poured into the corpse, the corpse's pale face slowly turned rosy and the body was no longer stiff.
Suddenly, the corpse opened its eyes and stared at the Pharaoh.
The lifeless eyes make him look like a walking corpse.
But soon, his eyes gradually brightened, his pupils slowly shrank, and he spoke in surprise: "Old friend, you're here!"
When they heard that the corpse had been resurrected, everyone became even more terrified, but when they thought that their own king had also been resurrected in this way, they felt less afraid.
“Hahaha!” Seeing his old friend again, Pharaoh hugged his old friend tightly and laughed, “Hiso, welcome back.”
"You too, I didn't expect you to wake up first. How long has it been now?" Hisoka was equally excited.
Their sleeping plan was successful, and they were able to fake their death and be resurrected.
"More than five hundred years." Pharaoh answered truthfully.
Hearing this number, Hisoka became even more excited, and there was a hint of anticipation in his eyes.
I slept for five hundred years. What will the world be like in the future? I really want to go and see it.
There is also his own family. Five hundred years have passed. What has become of the wealth he left behind? His son and wife should be dead, and he should have descendants.
I don’t know if they still recognize him.
"Great, have you found my family?"
“Found it.”
"That's even better. I'll go back first. When I'm ready, we'll go wake up the other two together."
"Well, I'm afraid that won't work."
Pharaoh's words made Xi Suo stunned, and he asked in surprise: "Why not?"
"Because I am here to take the gem of life on the orders of my master. Hand over the gem, or you will die!"
The next second, Pharaoh grabbed Hisoka's neck, without the smile of his former friend, but with indifference.
