Chapter 498 A corpse should look like a corpse
The white-haired black-spotted dog stopped at the edge of the mist.
It narrowed its eyes and stared ahead: "The Dog City is imitating the underworld, but this taste is not right."
The underworld is the destination of death in countless worlds.
The wise insect could feel that strange turbulence.
If an individual dies, this flow will unfold towards it - it is like a higher-dimensional principle that can penetrate into the castle of rules of thousands of worlds.
The talking dog is called Hello.
The wise insect is completely unable to distinguish the truth from the false.
It only knew that this person was the assistant appointed by the God Yao and came from the underworld.
"Look at my eyes."
"You are the leader, I am only responsible for dealing with the dead."
Harrow said, stepping into the mist.
As it stepped into the other world, its body suddenly changed, twisting into a strange shape with a three-pronged head.
Haro's limbs were twisted and distorted, somewhere between multiple legs and soft body, and his whole body was in a deep and unfathomable darkness.
The six eyes on its three heads were hollow and pale, but its body was covered with some slowly creeping blood-red lines. These blood lines looked like flowing fire, or like some kind of cracked wound that was bleeding.
Xiaozhi has a strange sense.
Haro was clearly in front of him, but his body was empty. He had abandoned the physical shell that had been condensed before, and was spreading and expanding himself, connecting with something invisible.
Is this a powerful existence from a higher dimension? Xiaozhi was secretly shocked.
"Great, you're finally here! This is..."
The Undead Warrior Commander Charles came over quickly. When he saw Haro, he froze in place, unable to utter a word.
"Not an enemy?"
One of Haro's three heads gave him a questioning look.
Xiaozhi quickly said, "This is our partner. His name is Charles. He is the ambassador between the Scarab and us."
"oh."
Harrow turned his head.
Charles shivered for a while, then finally resumed his movements.
He looked at the strange black and red creature with horror: "Who is this?"
Xiaozhi gave a brief introduction.
In this Dog City team, Zhichong is the captain and commander appointed by Yaoshen, and the three saints have their own abilities. Only Harrow is special, as he is a friendly helper.
"Your Majesty is dealing with the bodies of the rioters in the west of the city. If you don't mind, we can go directly there."
Charles led a few people all the way to the western front.
On the way, he recounted the latest battle situation.
"Today, Khepri's solar boat awakened a group of dead gods and monsters. They are building an altar and calling on and praying to the ancient evil Apophis."
"Apophis is second only to Primordial Chaos, and his divinity is stronger than that of Set, the Lord of Strength. Unlike the Lord of Strength who is both good and evil, Apophis is a pure demon of destruction. He is keen on destroying all order and integrity, and is the embodiment of chaos, madness, and sin."
"As the Sun Boats continue to appear, the gods that were buried in the past are resurrected one by one as the dead. Among them are those who worship evil gods and those who have gone mad. If these beings are awakened, or if they cause the evil gods to descend upon Dog City, then this place will fall into endless chaos and war."
Charles said heavily: "We must end this war as soon as possible."
…
By the time Xiaozhi reached the front line, the battle was over.
The wide and long street in the west was littered with petals of red spider lilies, ruined stone pillars, monuments, and broken unidentified materials. There were so many fragments and pieces mixed together that it was difficult to tell which were corpses and which were graves and bricks.
The undead warriors were collecting the remains of their companions, though they could only find a small number of relatively intact bodies. Even those who survived were missing limbs and were clumsily engaged in the work of cleaning up the battlefield.
The mummy of Menes was squatting on the ground, its face had been replaced by a large black scarab, and there was also a dismembered monster on the ground.
The original pharaoh was holding a flail and looking at the spoils at his feet.
Charles stepped forward quickly and reported: "Your Majesty, the Yao tribe reinforcements have arrived."
Menes turned his huge head.
Xiaozhi gave it a humble but polite smile: "Your Majesty Menis, we are here on the orders of Lord Yaoshen, and we hope to be of help."
Menes' eyes swept across the three holy wishes behind him and stopped at the grotesque Cerberus.
Harrow's six eyes looked at the Pharaoh.
"The power of the orthodox underworld... Cerberus, the gatekeeper of the underworld?"
"Control the dead? The ability of the Curse Clan is indeed magical."
Both sides commented on each other.
Facing Cerberus, Scarab Menes showed a cautious respect: "Come and look at this body."
"good."
Harrow walked to the huge corpse on the ground and looked at it carefully.
Xiaozhi noticed that the monster lying on the ground was very strange.
It has a huge and thick snake-like body, and its thick yellow skin has black ring-shaped patterns on it, giving its entire body a lifelike fullness.
Under the basilisk's head grew green beards shaped like bushes. These beards were hard and crisscrossed, concentrated near the chin of the snake's head.
Further down the basilisk's body there are large, red bird claws, with a total of three pairs in front and back.
This snake with a beard and bird claws had two holes for eyes, and a strange smile on its broad head. Black air came out of its body, like black smoke rising from a burn.
This was a scene that the wise insect had never seen in the abyss.
The only thing it could be sure of was that this basilisk was of a high level; it could feel the surging power remaining in this body.
"Hate the criminals?"
Harrow lowered his head to identify it, and its trident-like head skillfully tore open the basilisk's skin.
There was a sound of gnawing and chewing next to Xiaozhi's ears.
After a moment, Haro smacked his lips and said, "That's right, the resentful sinners. Those who refused to repent in the underground curse would turn into this. Later, they were brought into the Seventh Kingdom by Apophis the Terrible and became his most loyal supporters and believers... I have interrogated several of them in the underworld before, and none of them told the truth."
“This is the first time I’ve seen a resentful criminal who has reached a level close to the title of god. This guy is quite famous in the Seventh Kingdom.”
"I need to taste it again to confirm his specific identity."
As he spoke, Haro buried his head in gnawing at the corpse of the resentful criminal.
The sounds of bones breaking and flesh being torn and chewed were particularly harsh in the quiet environment at this moment.
"…Confirmed. His name is Naif. He used to be Apophis's driver in the Seventh Kingdom. No wonder he is so powerful."
Harrow spat out a sharp bone.
"As expected of Cerberus."
Scarab Menis sighed: "I didn't expect that even you could call upon God Yao. Could it be that He is the god of the underworld?"
Haro said calmly, "I am here only to deal with the dead. If you are interested in the underworld, you'd better go and see it yourself."
Xiaozhi originally wanted to come out to smooth things over, but he immediately discovered that neither Hello, who was talking, nor Menis, who was stuck, cared.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
The status of both parties is at least equal.
This surprised Xiaozhi very much.
It had dealt with the scarab many times in the past. The other party was very polite and courteous to itself, but more importantly, it showed respect and attitude towards the Yao God behind it.
But Harrow was different. It was its first time here, and the scarab quickly showed a subtle caution.
What on earth was it that Menis noticed but he didn't? Xiaozhi racked his brains but couldn't come up with an idea.
"Anubis is the god of funerals, and there are very obvious traces of imitating the underworld here. When I came here, I noticed that there was a dry riverbed outside the Dog City. It should be an attempt to imitate the Styx. However, to imitate and create such a precise and huge regular weaving flow, if the main gods of the entire Egyptian mythology system participated, perhaps a tributary could be created to connect to the Styx."
"But from the current perspective, Anubis must have failed. That's why this place has shrunk from a small underworld to a tomb city."
Harrow looked around: "This renovation is very clever."
"Let's talk about how to deal with the solar boat problem."
Menis brought the topic back: "What do you think we should do?"
"It's easy. Capture Kebli and control the Sun Boat. Otherwise, Dog City will never have peace." Haro's six white eyes looked around.
“It’s very difficult.”
The scarab tentacles on Menis's face swayed slightly, and it looked up at the sky: "Khepri is on one of the three sun boats, the 'Morning'. It will only appear for a short time, and its own 'light of revival' will instantly illuminate the entire Dog City."
"I have tried to shoot it down many times, but failed. Khepri itself is the embodiment of the godhood when the sun rises. When the sun boat sails, its power will be greatly enhanced."
"The combination of the two makes it hard for me to beat it. In addition, the sailing time of "Early Morning" is very short, which makes it even more difficult in that short time..."
"I'll do it."
Harrow said, "Put me on the sun boat and leave the rest to me. I will take care of it."
Menis hesitated for a moment and said, "If possible, please try not to damage Kebli's body."
"no problem."
…
morning.
A ray of dawn appeared in the sky.
A tiny dot appeared in the center of the orange-gold sun that was rising in the sky and becoming brighter and brighter.
The demigod [Thundering Eagle Wings] Ketchikan has transformed into a giant bird, carrying Harrow at high speed towards the sun. The crow army follows behind their master, but has become unrecognizable dots.
The wise insect narrowed its eyes and finally saw the legendary solar boat.
It slowly sailed out from the center of the sun, and changed from a vague strip and trace into a straw boat sailing across the sky.
The solar boat has an eagle-hook-like bow and stern, a mast and sails, and a broad-leaf canopy on the top, which emits a golden-red glow as if it is burning in the sun.
Ketchikan slams into the Sun Boat!
At that moment, the sun suddenly flickered wildly, forcing Xiaozhi to close his eyes.
When it opened its eyes again, it saw Ketchikan burning all over, falling from the sky like a meteor. The crows flew around it anxiously, but did not dare to approach.
The demigod fell straight down from the sky, causing a dull tremor on the ground, and the undead warriors quickly went over to rescue him.
Failed? Xiaozhi's heart skipped a beat.
It noticed that the tall mummy next to it was still staring into the sky, its facial features covered with black beetles, and no emotion could be seen.
The scarab just stared at the sun boat in the sky like a sculpture.
"This is impossible..."
A sound that sounded like both an exclamation and confusion came from its face.
The wise insect saw that the sun boat suddenly turned around and suddenly came from the sky to the earth. The papyrus boat soon hit the ground, raising a lot of dust.
Scarab Menis strode towards the crash site.
Xiaozhi ran after him.
A large pit with a very wide radiation range was created at the landing point. Apart from spider-web-like cracks in the pit, there was nothing abnormal.
In the center of the pit was Khepri, facedown, now motionless among the rubble, his corpse restored.
The solar boat was nowhere to be seen.
The black and red monster from the underworld, Haro, blew out a puff of white mist from his mouth: "Keep it away, don't let it wake up and run around again. After all, it was once a god with a name, and its corpse should look like a corpse."
Win?
Captured Kebli?
Xiaozhi felt excited.
As expected, they are the powerful reinforcements from the underworld that Lord Yao has called in. They solved the problem here in one move! No wonder Lord Maocao has always emphasized that we are just auxiliary... The main force is Mr. Harrow!
At the side, strands of spells appeared on the black beetle on Menis's face, showing a rare emotional fluctuation: "You are not an ordinary Cerberus."
"You are a soul torturer!"
