The 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.
Full of resentment, he hurriedly put on his coat and walked out of the bedroom.
"What happened again!"
His voice was filled with impatience and authority.
But when he pushed open the door, the scene before him made him stand still for a moment.
What was before my eyes was no longer the familiar palace corridor, but was covered by a thick layer of cold green.
The ground was densely covered with slimy frogs.
They either jumped or squirmed, making creepy croaking sounds.
It seemed as if the whole world was occupied by this sudden creature.
The Pharaoh's eyes widened, his horror evident in his expression.
“This… How is this possible?!”
His voice echoed in the empty corridor, filled with disbelief and despair.
"Sire, they come from the Nile!"
A soldier came hurriedly, his tone full of panic.
"The second plague has come, just as Moses had predicted during the day!"
There was a glint of fear in the soldier's eyes, and he was obviously shocked to the extreme by the scene before him.
"As for the princess..." The soldier hesitated to speak.
But remembering the screams he had just heard, Pharaoh had already guessed the worst outcome.
He gritted his teeth, feeling a mixture of emotions: worry about the princess's safety, as well as anger and helplessness towards Moses's arrogant prophecy.
"Take me there quickly!"
He growled, his voice revealing unquestionable majesty.
In the dark, Feng Feng and the other six were hiding like ghosts, their faces filled with shock and confusion.
They had been outside the whole time and had seen with their own eyes how quickly the frogs came ashore.
From their hidden position, they watched.
It is clear to see how the frogs have invaded every corner of Egypt at an alarming rate.
From the magnificent palaces to the simple houses, no one was spared!
Jin Shile looked at the scene and muttered to himself, his voice filled with awe and confusion.
"This... is it really the power of God intervening?"
His words revealed awe and confusion of the unknown power.
Feng Feng frowned, his eyes firm and worried.
"How can we, who can't even touch the things in the illusion, solve a disaster of this magnitude?"
Just then.
Pharaoh's sharp gaze seemed to penetrate the darkness and shoot straight in their direction.
“Who’s there!”
His voice was cold and powerful, full of warning.
The six people's hearts tightened and they subconsciously wanted to hide.
But Yun Yang reacted quickly. He gently pulled Feng Feng's hand and signaled others to remain calm.
"Don't be afraid," he whispered soothingly, "it's us who are able to touch the frogs. Pharaoh has noticed the movement, but he still can't see us."
"We just have to keep our heads down and wait and see what happens."
really.
Just as Yun Yang expected, after staring for a moment and finding nothing unusual, Pharaoh withdrew his gaze.
He turned around and continued to rush towards the princess's bedroom.
The six people looked at each other, feeling both relieved and worried.
How will this sudden disaster end?
Everything is still unknown.
…
With a hint of haste and worry in his steps, the Pharaoh entered the princess's luxuriously decorated but now slightly messy bedroom.
His footsteps echoed in the empty hall, and each step seemed to carry deep concern for the safety of his beloved concubine.
As soon as he stepped over the threshold, Pharaoh impatiently asked the soldiers waiting nearby about the situation.
The soldier's voice trembled slightly with nervousness, as if even the air was filled with a sense of urgency.
"Your Majesty, the weather tonight is unusually dry and hot. Her Royal Highness the Princess couldn't stand it any longer, so she ordered all the windows to be opened to get some fresh air."
"I never thought that this would become the opportunity for the frog invasion."
"Those frogs, roaming about due to the drought, took advantage of the night and swarmed into the bedroom. Eventually..."
The soldier lowered his voice when he said this, obviously the following scene was too horrifying.
As he entered, he saw the frog almost jump into the princess's screaming mouth.
Pharaoh's heart sank.
He could almost imagine the scene—
His beloved princess was surrounded by dense swarms of frogs and was terrified.
He quickened his pace, walked through the corridor, and pushed open the inner door of the bedroom. The scene before him made his heart tighten.
Inside the bedroom, the lights were bright, but it couldn't hide the chaos.
On the bed, frogs were crawling and jumping, and some even climbed onto the princess's clothes.
And she, the usually noble and elegant princess, was now curled up in the corner, her face pale, her eyes full of fear and helplessness.
Although her screams had stopped, her trembling body and the undried tears silently told of the fear she had just felt.
"king……"
When the princess saw the Pharaoh, it was like a drowning person grabbing at the last straw.
Her voice was weak and trembling, and tears rolled down her face again, intertwined with the fear on her face, forming a heartbreaking picture.
Pharaoh quickly stepped forward and gently embraced the princess in his arms, his voice firm but gentle.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here! Everything will be fine with me here!"
His eyes were full of strength and comfort, as if they could dispel all the haze.
Faced with this sudden disaster, the two leaned on each other and confided in each other.
It was as if they were the only two people left in the world.
…
The two of them confided in each other, and Jin Shile got goosebumps looking at him.
"Couples from three thousand years ago were talking so much nonsense? Even the Pharaoh couldn't escape it?"
Feng Feng touched his chin.
"It seems that the second plague is no better than the second plague, as it only means we can encounter frogs."
Compared to the first plague, which required the consumption of water and food, the second plague was much simpler.
Even the second plague can serve as food for them.
Yunyang looked up at the gray sky, a wry smile on his lips, and murmured softly:
"Oh, if only the disaster after that would be as easy as the second one."
These words were like light feathers drifting in the morning breeze, quietly landing in everyone's heart and causing a resonance.
Everyone nodded.
Unfortunately, this feeling only lasted until morning.
Before the first rays of morning sun completely dispelled the darkness of night, the Pharaoh's majestic command exploded throughout the camp like a thunderclap.
He ordered everyone to remove any frogs they found.
It turned out that the uninvited guests seemed endless and unstoppable.
All the way out of the Nile.
