Ramses II curled up the corner of his mouth in a sneer, as if he had seen the other party's helplessness and despair.
"As for 'releasing them' as you say, that's simply wishful thinking!"
After saying that.
He seemed to be completely unconcerned about this sudden change. He turned around and strode straight towards the palace.
There is a sense of determination and arrogance in his back.
When Moses saw this, instead of being angered, he was actually amused.
There was both helplessness and determination in that smile.
"Very good! Since you are so stubborn, let the wrath of the gods continue to rage across this land!"
"See if you can continue to be so arrogant and ignorant!"
He suddenly raised his voice, and the sound penetrated the air and echoed along the banks of the Nile.
Not only did it make the departing Pharaoh and priests stop in their tracks, but even the Egyptian people hiding in the shadows on the shore who were watching could hear it clearly.
"Remember, from this moment on, every seven holy days, the Nile River and all of Egypt will be struck by new disasters as punishment!"
"And I, Moses, will only come to the banks of the Nile on the last day of every week, the day when the gods rest."
"If the Egyptians still don't change their minds and let the Hebrews go free, then these disasters will never end!"
After saying this, Moses once again raised the scepter full of mysterious power and put it into the river.
With a gentle stir, the river surface, which had returned to calm, instantly boiled.
The blood-red river water seemed to be stirred by an invisible force, rippling into layers of strange ripples.
It seemed as if countless invisible creatures were struggling and roaring in it, and the scene was shocking.
All Egyptians who witnessed this scene were terrified.
As for Moses, he was just as he was three days ago.
His figure was so light that he seemed to be walking on the invisible wind. No matter how hard the Egyptian soldiers tried to chase and intercept him, they could not get close to him.
He just left leisurely in the astonished and awed gazes of the crowd.
It left behind chaos and unrest that echoed for a long time along the banks of the Nile.
Feng Feng shouted hurriedly:
"Hurry! We must catch up with Moses immediately and not let him out of our sight!"
However.
The effort seemed doomed to failure.
As the group panted and climbed over the small hill covered with rubble.
The view suddenly became clear, but Moses was nowhere to be seen, having vanished without a trace.
Mai Xuan stopped and gasped, his eyes full of helplessness and frustration.
"It seems that trying to solve the mystery of the divine disaster by directly starting with the clue of Moses is not feasible."
Jin Shile looked around with a frown on his face.
"The assessment in the illusion world is really strict!"
Hearing this, Feng Feng shook his head helplessly and gave up the meaningless pursuit.
Turning to the status of the team:
"Since Moses has lost us, we must focus on the present. The second plague is about to arrive. Everyone, do you feel anything unusual in your body?"
Yunyang interjected humorously, trying to ease the tense atmosphere.
“Is it a change if I can’t catch up with Moses?”
This sentence made everyone laugh bitterly.
"There's no need to tell me what you know. Is there anything else?" Feng Feng said helplessly.
The blood disaster appeared, they were thirsty and hungry, and they were able to touch the source of the disaster. Why was there no obvious movement this time?
Jin Shile scratched his head, looking confused.
"Strange, why don't I feel anything this time?"
"What exactly is the Second Plague? Why haven't I even seen its shadow?"
He turned to Mai Xuan, his eyes full of anticipation.
"Boss, tell me!"
Mai Xuan pondered for a moment, gently stroking his chin with his fingers, and spoke mysteriously.
"Don't worry, the answer will be revealed soon."
There was a subtle nervousness in his words, which aroused everyone's curiosity.
"Tsk, keeping us in suspense again!" everyone complained in unison.
But apart from complaining, no one really wanted to refute him.
They all know it in their hearts.
The reason why Mai Xuan said this must be because the truth that follows may be accompanied by a time jump in the illusion.
then.
They chose to put this doubt aside for the time being and instead focus on how to deal with the impending blood disaster.
…
The Egyptian people spent this day in fear.
Time passed slowly, but the disaster predicted by Moses had not yet come.
This long wait made everyone's heart hang in their throat, as if they were prisoners about to be sentenced to death.
It was not until night fell that they closed their eyes with hearts full of confusion and fatigue, but they found it difficult to fall asleep.
Feng Feng and the other six were still busy in the night on the banks of the Nile River.
Their figures were elongated in the dim moonlight, appearing particularly lonely.
The river water is still turbid and blood-red, emitting a foul odor, as if telling endless secrets.
But they have not yet found the key to solve the mystery and make the river clear again.
Mai Xuan looked up at the gradually darkening sky, a hint of determination flashing in his eyes.
"The time is almost up, let's set off for the palace immediately!"
His voice was low and firm, like a ray of light in the dark night, instantly igniting the fire of hope among his teammates.
Without any hesitation, everyone responded quickly, as if an invisible force was binding them together.
Taking advantage of their familiarity with the layout of the palace, the six people moved through the tight blockade like ghosts.
However.
No matter how clear the route is, you still need to know the destination.
Feng Feng couldn't help but frown: "Where should we go next?"
Mai Xuan's gaze pierced the night, as if he could see through everything. "Let's go to the Pharaoh's chambers. He should be immersed in his own world right now, too busy to care about anything else. Let's follow him, maybe we can find something."
"Okay!" The short and powerful answer revealed their common determination and courage.
Relying on the careful investigation in the previous few days, they headed straight for the Pharaoh's bedroom like wise men wandering in a maze.
There was silence in the bedroom.
Only the heavy breathing of Ramses II echoed in the empty room.
In the past few days, due to the chaos caused by Moses, he had long lost his usual composure.
Even the thought of spending the night with the princess disappeared, and he just wanted to find a little peace in this moment of tranquility.
However, this tranquility did not last long.
Suddenly, a shrill scream broke the silence of the night. The sound came from the princess's bedroom, full of despair and terror.
This scream was like a huge rock thrown into a calm lake, instantly stirring up waves.
There was chaos in the palace.
The sounds of hurried footsteps and terrified shouts intertwined together, turning the originally solemn palace into a sea of chaos.
Ramses II was awakened by the sudden noise, and his heart was filled with irritation and anger.
"What happened again!"
