The scarab is actually what people often call the dung beetle.
Normal scarab beetles do not eat humans. Most of them feed on animal feces and are known as "scavengers of nature."
But in ancient Egypt, people believed that the sun was pushed by a giant scarab beetle like a rolling dung ball, and the scarab became a messenger of communication between humans and the sun god Amon. In addition, the ancient Egyptians believed that if they put stones carved into the shape of scarabs in the bodies of the dead, the scarabs would protect the dead souls from passing the inspection of the underworld and entering another world, thus achieving eternal life.
In movies and novels, the scarab has another function, which is to inflict insect bite punishment.
In The Mummy, the curse of being bitten by insects is the most vicious curse.
The high priest Imhotep was bitten by insects because he disturbed the peace of the dead by killing the pharaoh and performing the resurrection ceremony. First, his tongue was cut off, then he was tied up like a mummy and put in a coffin. Then, man-eating scarabs were poured into the coffin, covered the coffin, and locked it. That was it.
The tongue was cut off because Imhotep was a high priest who was familiar with many curses and spells to break them. If his tongue was cut off, he would not be able to recite spells. In that case, his soul would be sealed forever in the sarcophagus and be closely guarded by Zoroastrian monks. Once released, he would become a monster with magical powers for a thousand years to scourge the world. His powerful force covering this land would make him invincible!
These black beetles, like a tide, continuously poured out of the mysterious coffin, were truly shocking.
Is this the skill of the Awakener
Or is it the ability granted by this coffin
If it is the ability of an awakened person, then what sequence is this bald head
Ancient Egypt, as the earliest civilization of this era, was born on both sides of the Nile River, more than a thousand years earlier than the Chinese civilization in the East.
Ancient Egypt had its own hieroglyphic system, a complete political system and a polytheistic religious system. Its rulers were called pharaohs, so it is also called the Pharaoh Era or Pharaoh Egypt.
Ancient Egypt was a narrow strip of land around the Nile River. The ancient Egyptians achieved great success in agricultural production by managing and controlling the annual flooding of the Nile River. During the more than 3,000 years of ancient Egyptian civilization, they built huge pyramids, temples, obelisks, and established the most advanced medical system in the world at that time.
"The Pharaoh's sequence?"
Based on the information he has, Yi Xiaochuan analyzed that the evolutionary sequences in the East include "Tianshi", "Ghost Messenger" and "Door God". The names of these sequences and their corresponding extraordinary abilities are the crystallization of Chinese civilization.
He is the "hermit" and "fortune teller" awakened by Otokogawa, and he is also connected with the ancient civilization of the East.
Then in Egypt, there must be a sequence called "Pharaoh".
Just like the information that Otokogawa obtained, in the Western world, there is a sequence chain called "vampire", a sequence chain called "magician", and the sequences of "warrior", "knight", "druid" and "elf" are also extended from civilization.
In the Land of the Rising Sun, "Ninjas" and "Onmyojis" are in power; Southeast Asia is living in the dark terror of "black magic" and "yin tattoos"; even the United States, which has less than 300 years of history, has Indian "chiefs".
Extraordinary powers come from civilization and exist in mythology.
But if it is the ability granted by the coffin!
What kind of treasure is this coffin
Xiao Yi couldn't help but think of the White Tiger Seal of the Lord of Mount Tai with ∞ contribution points in the "National Treasure".
This is a treasure from the last era, or even the era before that.
The last era was an era of technology, and they would never create a treasure like a coffin. Moreover, his own black technology system did not respond.
It seems that this little bald guy is also a child of destiny with great luck, just like himself!
Xiao Yi thought secretly in his heart.
The scarabs came in a seemingly endless tide.
"It's a space treasure, and it's a space treasure that can hold living things..." Xiao Yi added in his mind, not out of envy, but stating a fact.
Living things cannot be allowed into the "imaginary space". The nine-tailed white fox is sealed in a spirit stone, and is in a spirit state. As for the bloody little bugs, they cannot be called living creatures either. At most, they are active flesh and blood with only instincts but no souls.
Faced with the swarm of scarab beetles, the half-rotten heads inside the black slime-like monster floated out one by one. As soon as these half-rotten heads appeared in the air, they immediately twitched, and then their expressions became lively and satisfied, with even a bit of pious sacredness in them.
Then, a beautiful, clear female voice sounded:
"For the glory of the Lord, for the holy cause, we need sacrifice and dedication, come! Offer our souls..."
In an instant, magnificent hymns came out from these horrible rotten mouths, as well as majestic orchestral music, and these sounds were produced by several heads working together!
If you were in darkness, if you closed your eyes, and heard this kind of female voice and background music, what would come to your mind would surely be a group of beautiful and holy nuns in white, singing hymns, pure and pious.
However, the disgusting scene in front of me and the terrible contrast between the two are really hard to accept!
As soon as this hymn was sung, people's hearts immediately calmed down, and they wanted to pray along and dedicate their lives and souls.
The voice is full of hypnotic power.
Unfortunately, it seems that neither Otogawa nor Amon is affected by this power at all.
Only Hei Nuo's cat-like expression became firm and resolute, as if she was always ready to sacrifice herself for the sacred cause and give everything for the glory of the Lord.
Xiao Yi immediately picked it up and saw that the pupils of this guy's eyes had shrunk to the size of a needle tip, which was obviously a sign of being hypnotized.
A Sequence 9 soul was hypnotized so easily. The underworld is really dangerous!
Xiao Yi reached out and pinched a bit of sticky mud that was like petroleum, and then started the "Extraordinary Identification".
The polluted underworld
Source of contamination: Sacred blood
"Did a god fall here? Sure enough, there was a war in the underworld..."
Xiao Yi muttered and looked at the scarab. Since it was called the messenger of communication between humans and the sun god Amon, it could naturally resist the hypnosis of the hymn.
The swarm of insects covered and devoured everything. The monster immediately let out a scream of pain, but amid the scream, the sacred and loud hymn continued. Then two heads twisted in pain, then exploded with their teeth bared, spreading a large mass of purple-black blood mist.
This blood-colored mist probably contained a deadly poison. The scarab beetles immediately stopped gnawing and began to fall down one after another.
The heads in the monster's body exploded one by one, blood mist filled the air, and then the scarab retreated like a tide, leaving behind corpses and a pool of black, greasy liquid...

The bald man picked up the coffin again and chanted a mysterious spell. The dead scarab bodies suddenly burned with mysterious black flames, and after a short burning, they turned into ashes.
