The Horror of Infinite Reincarnation

Chapter 327: The Scorpion King (I)

Views:

The dream was built by the "architect". Because of the early preparations, Kirby built a three-layer dream model. The first layer was based on a local area in Washington, and the second layer was a gorgeous five-star hotel. In order to facilitate the investigation, Kirby built the third layer of the dream into an island covering an area of 1 square kilometer at Fang Ru's request.

However, when Fang Ru, Meng Xiang and Mu Feier entered the third level of the dream, they found that the dream was completely different from what they had expected.

This is a vast desert with endless yellow sand all over the ground, emitting scorching steam that burns all living things in the desert. In the distance, there is no living creature or building except a tall pyramid.

The three of them looked at each other. This environment was completely different from what Kirby had expected.

"What's going on? Did Kobe make a mistake?" Fang Ru murmured, but Meng Xiang smelled a hint of danger. He looked around vigilantly. The yellow sand reflected the sunlight like a mirror. The rising steam confused his vision. The sand dunes in the distance were wriggling as if they had life.

"Kirby wouldn't make a mistake. How could we enter without a pre-set dream? And Kirby has no reason to play a trick on us. This desert seems to be filled with a strange atmosphere." Meng Xiang has experienced the plot with Kirby and knows Kirby's character. He is very serious about his work and will never play tricks on others casually. Moreover, he has entered the Lost Domain and knows the horror of deep dreams, so it is impossible for him to make a mistake in the dream model.

"Fei'er, can I use the mental scan?"

"Okay." Mu Feier nodded. She was also a veteran and no longer the newbie who only knew how to cry. Without Meng Xiang's reminder, she was already conducting a linear scan with her mental power.

Mu Feier's strength has been greatly improved because she has unlocked her potential. The range of her mental scanning has reached 500 meters, the straight line scanning length is 5 kilometers, and she can already see blurry images of scanned creatures.

"Strange, the pyramid seems to have a mysterious power that blocks my mental scan, but other than that, there are no living creatures around, not even a small sandworm." Mu Fei'er looked puzzled and looked up at Fang Ru, hoping that Fang Ru could explain these strange phenomena.

The dreamer is Fang Ru, so except for the environment and buildings, all living things are projections of Fang Ru's potential lock. The third layer of dreams is the deep consciousness of human beings, and all the people projected are the ones that Fang Ru has the deepest impression of. However, there are no living things around. Could it be that Fang Ru has not seen many people to begin with? Meng Xiang found it very strange. Anyone who grows up in society, whether intentionally or unintentionally, will always come into contact with a lot of humans, unless he grows up in the forest like Tarzan.

Fang Ru is obviously not Tarzan.

Fang Ru pondered for a long time, then sighed and said, "I don't know what's going on, but this scene seems familiar. However, I have never been to the desert."

The desert sun was too strong, and the three people's clothes were already soaked. Meng Yi pointed at the pyramid and said, "That's the only building here. Let's go over there first, maybe we can find some clues."

"Okay, but be careful. I think that pyramid seems to be hiding something." Mu Fei'er said in amazement. The barren desert was too strange. She couldn't help but walk closer to Meng Xiang and gently took his left arm.

The pyramid was at least 4 kilometers away from them. Walking 4 kilometers under the scorching sun drained the strength of Fang Ru and Mu Fei'er. In order to resist the terrible sunlight, Mu Fei'er even activated the "Wall of Heart".

Although it was just a dream, everything was very real, including the physiological needs of the human body. Meng Xiang's storage ring contained 7 or 8 bottles of drinks. In just 4 kilometers, Fang Ru and Mu Fei'er had already drunk 3 bottles each.

The pyramids looked pretty good from a distance, but now that they were at the bottom of the pyramids, they found that they were truly magnificent. The golden pyramids, made of dozens of tons of stone, were like a mountain pressing down on them, making it hard for them to breathe.

Of course, Meng Xiang had never seen a real pyramid in the real world. Although he had seen many strange buildings in the reincarnation world, the pyramid seemed to have an invisible attraction. No matter what building it was, it would be overshadowed by its magnificence.

There is a 2-3 meter wide entrance at the bottom of the pyramid. It is dark inside, but you can vaguely see a long corridor leading to the interior of the pyramid. The three people walked to the entrance of the pyramid. Because the sunlight outside was too strong, the three people instinctively stepped forward and walked in when they saw a place with shade.

"Trigger the side story, the Scorpion King is resurrected, and his enhanced attributes, skills and weapons are taken away. Kill the Scorpion King within 1 hour, and you will get 5,000 points and 1 *-level side story. Otherwise, you will be killed." The Lord's voice rang in the ears of the three people, and they were stunned at the same time.

"What's going on? This is just a dream, how could there be a side story about the world of reincarnation?" Fang Ru held his head and shook it desperately, his face ashen and he looked panic-stricken.

"Fang Ru, calm down." Meng Xiang shook his shoulders, trying to calm him down. But Fang Ru was like he had taken opium, shaking his head and looking crazy.

"Pa" Meng Xiang slapped him on the forehead, leaving a deep red palm print on Fang Ru's cheek.

The slap made Fang Ru retreat repeatedly, but his retreat was blocked by an invisible wall at the entrance. Fang Ru was like leaning on a piece of glass, unable to take another step back.

Fang Ru's face suddenly became calm. He stood up and stretched out his hand to straighten his glasses which were crooked due to being slapped. He said slowly: "Is this invisible barrier to prevent us from going out for help when the side plot starts? But there is yellow sand everywhere outside, and it is a dream. What is the use of this invisible barrier? Strange. Hey, what are the expressions on your faces?" He saw Meng Xiang and Mu Feier looking at him abruptly, so he asked curiously.

Mu Feier asked in a low voice with a hint of fear: "Brother Fang, didn't you notice it yourself? After you were slapped by Brother Meng, you seemed to have become a different person."

"Really? Maybe. I find it strange too, and this is exactly the purpose of our entering the third level of dreamland this time. Meng Xiang, what should we do next?"

Meng Xiang said helplessly: "What else can we do? Although it's just a dream, the Lord's hint is very real. Even if we die in the dream, we will only enter the Lost Realm, but being wiped out... that shouldn't be as simple as death. We need to slowly test here to see if this is a dream or if we really triggered a side story."

"Meng Xiang, don't be so naive." Fang Ru pointed at the barrier behind him and said, "The purpose of that barrier must have other meanings besides preventing us from going out."

"What does it mean?" Meng Xiang and Mu Fei'er asked without thinking.

"For example, they won't let us retreat even if we encounter danger. I estimate that danger will soon approach, so we should be prepared for battle. If it is really as I thought, then this is not a dream, but a real side story. The Scorpion King is resurrected, depriving us of enhanced attributes and skills? I seem to have heard the Lord announce this side story before. Strange."

Fang Ru held his chin in his hand and fell into deep thought. Meng Xiang suddenly said anxiously, "Scorpion King? This is not the horror movie "The Mummy", right? Deprive the enhanced attributes and enhanced skills, and kill the resurrected Scorpion King. I remember in "The Mummy 2", in the pyramid where the protagonist O'Connor and the evil spirit Imhotep fought, Imhotep did lose all his magic power, and used his mortal body to compete with O'Connor for the Scorpion King's undead army."

Mu Fei'er screamed "Ah!", her body trembling, and said fearfully: "Brother Meng, don't scare me, you said there are mummies in there?" She had also heard of the movie "The Mummy", and naturally thought of those mummies wrapped in white cloth and the evil spirits flying all over the ground.

"The Mummy? Yes, I seem to have some experience in my memory. I once fought with someone in the pyramid, but the memory is very vague. What's going on?" Fang Ru tried desperately to dig out some clues from his memory, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't squeeze out a trace of memory. He suddenly said, "Deprive of enhanced attributes and enhanced skills? Meng Xiang, is there something wrong with you?"

Meng Xiang waved his hands, and spiritual energy emerged. He said, "No, but the spiritual energy in my body seems to be much weaker, and maybe because I am in a dream, I can't even use the Kaio-ken."

"Mu Fei'er, what about you?" Fang Ru asked anxiously.

Mu Fei'er closed her eyes slightly and said in panic: "Neither the mental scan nor the heart wall can be activated, and my enhanced physical attributes seem to have been lost."

"Then why would Meng Xiang..." Fang Ru stared at Meng Xiang, looking puzzled. At this moment, "Pa... the sound of stones hitting the ground heavily was heard from the deep corridor, and the sound became louder and louder. In the darkness, the outline of a horse's head was faintly revealed."
