Chapter 189 Pyramid Relics

"My Lord, we found it!"

The leopard warrior who led the way pushed aside the tangled vines, then turned around and shouted excitedly.

Several leopard warriors nearby stepped forward and chopped with short knives to expand the passage.

Mo Yu walked forward, followed the open gap, and saw the pyramid covered by vines in front of him.

The pyramid is not big, only about two meters high, and is hidden among the tangled vines and weeds.

If the shadow scouts had not previously discovered the exact location and marked reference objects nearby, it would have been easy to miss the target.

The pyramid is covered with moss, and the stones on it show signs of breaking and weathering, exuding a mottled atmosphere of time.

There were no guarding monsters nearby, so Mo Yu walked forward slowly.

As he looked, the information about the pyramid gradually emerged.

[Pyramid Ruins]: An ancient civilization building where the nobles of the Kingdom of Sand are buried. It contains precious burial objects, terrifying mechanisms and immortal guards. Please enter with caution.

"Is this a tomb?"

Through the information from the reconnaissance technique, Mo Yu had a general understanding of the pyramid in front of him.

The remains of an ancient civilization, perhaps some good things can be found in them.

At this time, the Leopard Warriors and Stef Warriors had cleared the open space near the pyramid.

Mo Yu looked at the miniature pyramid in front of him and couldn't help but wonder, with such a small size, what kind of burial objects and guards could there be?
He suspected that this pyramid might have an underground structure, or it might be connected to a subspace like a resource point.

This problem is also easy to verify.

"Bertha, take a look at the situation under the pyramid." Mo Yu turned his head and looked at the female man with a giant axe beside him.

"Ok."

Bertha nodded and used her innate exploration ability.

Although this ability is mainly used for mineral prospecting, it can also roughly detect the underground geological structure.

By the way, you can naturally find out whether there are any buildings underground.

"The main structure of this pyramid is hidden underground," Bertha said.

From underground, you can clearly see the huge body of the pyramid.

The small pyramid above is actually just the top of the entire pyramid.

Mo Yu nodded, which was consistent with his guess.

Otherwise, even if we dig up all the tiny ruins, it would be difficult to gain anything.

"My lord, do you want to dig it up?" Salwen asked Mo Yu for his opinion.

There is no entrance to the pyramid from the outside, so if you want to get in, violent entry is probably the easiest way.

Mo Yu shook his head and said, "Let's look for it first to see if there is any mechanism or something like that."

There are a lot of mechanisms inside this pyramid. If you go in violently, it may easily trigger its counterattack mode. It is better to be careful.

Everyone went up and started knocking and banging.

The entire pyramid is not very large, and there are not many places that need to be searched and inspected.

Soon, a Stef soldier shouted in surprise: "I have a floating brick here, it seems I can press it down!"

Mo Yu's eyes lit up and he said, "Press it and see!"

Soldier Stef pressed the brick down hard, and immediately heard a click, as if some mechanism had been triggered.

Everyone tightened their weapons, surrounded the pyramid, and silently waited for it to change.

I saw the bricks on top of the pyramid rotating and changing, and gradually, a door appeared on the pyramid.

Looking down through the door, it was pitch black and I couldn't see what was inside.

Mo Yu's talent still has certain disadvantages when exploring this kind of building.

He opened the Gate of War and released most of the defense towers, leaving only a few defense towers such as the Victory Spear Tower and the Holy Sword Tower to prevent accidents.

At the command, the summoning defense towers began to work continuously.

A large number of summoned creatures, such as earth ants, crouching iron zombies, stone shadow insects, etc., began to invade the pyramid.

The Fire Wolf stayed on guard nearby to prevent their retreat from being cut off during the exploration of the pyramid.

Under the exploration of the summoned creatures, the trap mechanisms inside the pyramid were quickly triggered and became ineffective.

Next to Mo Yu, a huge, pot-bellied ant was lying next to him.

This is the Rock-Armored Queen Ant, the only individual queen ant that was finally spawned.

The queen ant does not have many abilities. One is high intelligence, which means she has a relatively high level of wisdom. The other is mental control, which allows her to control the movements of the entire ant colony and keep track of their information at any time.

"Did you encounter a guard unit? What was it like?"

After exploring for about half an hour, Mo Yu received feedback from the queen ant that the ant colony that entered was blocked by a large number of guards inside the pyramid.

There are a lot of them, and they are creatures similar to mummies.

Their fighting power was not strong, but they seemed endless, and the ant colony's advancement was immediately frustrated.

"Okay, everyone, get ready to go and explore the pyramid ruins!"

Mo Yu waved his hand and directed everyone to start exploring the pyramid ruins.

The Queen Ant, the Fire Demon Wolves, and some Stef warriors were left outside to guard.

The team began to move towards the pyramid.

With the BUFF of the defense tower on him, Mo Yu is still confident about his own safety.

As soon as I entered the door, the light dimmed.

But it was not completely dark. There were torches hanging on the walls, illuminating a passage that continued to extend downwards.

You can see that there are several corpses of earth ants lying at the entrance, nailed to the ground by crossbows.

This is a mechanism inside the pyramid ruins. Most of these mechanisms are one-time and lose their effect after being triggered.

At the front of the team were Salwen and more than a dozen elite leopard warriors under his command.

Mo Yu and Bersha walked in the middle. With Bersha's ability to sense crises, Mo Yu could react immediately even if there was danger.

Bruman walked at the end with the rest of the men.

With summoned creatures to lead the way and serve as cannon fodder, the personnel that Mo Yu brought into the ruins were mainly elite troops, but not too many in number.

The passage leads downwards, and not far ahead you'll come to a fork in the road.

"Go right!"

Mo Yu commanded the team forward.

These passages have been explored by summoned creatures, and they have clearly identified the dead ends.

The structure inside the pyramid is very complicated, with many forks in the road. Fortunately, thanks to summoned creatures, the team was not misled.

Along the way, you can see many corpses of summoned creatures on the ground, some of them were squeezed, some were burned, and died in all kinds of ways.

After walking through a corridor that was several hundred meters long, the team finally arrived at their destination, where the summoned creatures encountered a large number of guards.

At this moment, the battle is still going on, and a large number of earth ants are fighting with a mummy-like monster.

This thing is called the Undead Mummy. Its combat power is very average, but it is very difficult to deal with.

The reason is simple: they are difficult to kill.

The body of the undead mummy seemed to be made of sand. Every time it was shattered by the attack of the ants, a large amount of sand would quickly gather and recover.

So even though the ant colony was suppressing them, it was still difficult to break through their defenses. Mo Yu did not rush to join the battlefield. He looked at the environment in front of him.

This is a huge tomb. Once you enter, there is a vast open space. At this moment, a large number of soldiers are entangled in this open space.

Further in, there are two rows of twelve statues with dog heads and human bodies.

Then there is a flight of stairs leading upwards, and on the top platform you can see a huge coffin.

It seems that this is the main tomb chamber of this relic?

Mo Yu withdrew his gaze and looked at the mummies fighting on the battlefield.

These mummies are very weak, and the real difficulty lies in how to kill them.

"Master, I sense that the power that drives the mummies to constantly resurrect lies in those statues." The voice of the queen ant came to Mo Yu's ear.

"Well, I see."

Mo Yu nodded and looked at the twelve statues with dog heads and human bodies.

I didn't notice it before, but now I see that every time the mummies die, their staffs glow slightly, and immediately the mummies are resurrected again.

It is impossible to tell whether there are limits to resurrection, and it is unknown whether the power of the statues will ever run out.

Mo Yu chose a simpler method - destroying the statues.

After receiving the command, the fighting ants on the battlefield suddenly changed their offensive.

The rock-armored army ants charged forward fiercely, tearing a hole in the group of mummies, and escorted a large number of rock-armored acid ants forward.

A large amount of formic acid was sprayed all over the standing statues at the foot of the steps.

"Ziziziz", intensive corrosion sounds suddenly rang out.

The formic acid failed to corrode the statue as intended, but instead hit an invisible barrier outside the statue.

But formic acid is equally effective against it, and as it is consumed, the glow of the barrier gradually dims.

On the battlefield, the mummies seemed to have received some kind of call and madly gathered towards the location of the rock ants, trying to rescue them.

How could Mo Yu give them a chance? He summoned a large number of creatures to form a wall to block them outside.

Although these mummies are difficult to kill, it won't be a big problem if they are just used to block the attack.

He could even allocate some of his summoned creatures to join the camp that was besieging the statue.

Under the corrosion of acid, the protective shields of the first two statues were broken first.

The acid fell on it, instantly corroding the stone statue into a mottled state.

In particular, the staff, which was the focus of the attack, was mostly corroded.

On the battlefield, the speed of the mummies' resurrection was immediately affected and slowed down slightly.

At this moment, something strange happened and the earth shook. Among the twelve statues, the two statues that had lost their protective barriers suddenly disintegrated and turned into countless rays of light that fell into the group of mummies.

Blessed by the light, the mummy's body immediately swelled up as if it was being inflated, and grew nearly twice its size.

The shriveled skin on their bodies gradually became full and plump, and finally they turned into monsters with dog heads and human bodies, like mini versions of those statues.

Death Guard Phantom, this is the name of those dog-headed monsters with human bodies. They are extremely powerful and are at the rare fourth level.

The situation on the battlefield suddenly changed. Powerful mutant ants such as the rock-armored giant ants and rock-armored army ants could still barely hold on, but ordinary earth-armored ants and rock-armored ants found it difficult to resist their offensive.

These Death Guard phantoms are extremely ferocious. Although they have no weapons in their hands, their claws are as strong as gold and iron and can tear open the shells of the Rock Ants.

Moreover, they also inherited the mummies' ability to be resurrected, making them more difficult to deal with.

But their numbers were still small, and the ant colony and the lying iron zombies firmly withstood their attacks.

Here, the rock ants are still continuing to put pressure on us.

Several earth ants, under the control of the queen, attempted melee attacks but were trampled to death by the statue.

These statues are capable of movement, but their range is limited, limited to the steps in the tomb.

Fortunately, the statue cannot join the battlefield here.

Mo Yu gave up the idea of ​​destroying the statue in close combat and let the rock ants continue to attack with all their might.

At the same time, the Earth Spear Tower also attacked the statue from the inside.

"Crack!"

A clear voice rang out, drowning out the noise at the scene.

Four more statues were shattered, and more mummies were transformed into rare fourth-order Death Guard phantoms. The pressure on the scene increased sharply.

"Skeleton army, go ahead and stop them!"

Mo Yu waved his hand, and a large number of skeleton soldiers holding weapons rushed out from the cave behind him.

The skeleton soldiers had just been ordered to explore in another direction, but they took the wrong path and have only now arrived at the front battlefield here.

A large number of skeleton soldiers rushed into the tomb and quickly surrounded the Death Guards.

The ordinary mummies fought with the weaklings, while the phantoms of the Death Guards were separated and handed over to the queen ant to command the ant army to carry out the siege.

There are still 6 statues left, and it can be clearly felt that the speed of resurrection of the mummies and death guard phantoms at the scene has slowed down a lot.

"Keep going, as long as we destroy all the statues, we can get rid of these disgusting mummies!" Mo Yu said loudly, boosting morale.

Behind him, a steady stream of summoned creatures came in and were quickly thrown into the battlefield below.

Although the undead Death Guard phantom attacks were powerful and suppressed the skeleton soldiers, the number of summoned creatures was too large and they could not be killed at all.

I thought they were the ones winning by numbers, but unexpectedly, Mo Yu was more energy-consuming.

At this time, the staff in the hand of another statue shone brightly.

Mo Yu felt a palpitation and immediately realized that it was coming towards him.

"Lord, be careful!" Bertha beside him shouted loudly.

The next second, a thick, seemingly tangible gray-black beam of light poured towards where Mo Yu was.

Even with the BUFF of the defense tower, Mo Yu still chose to dodge without hesitation.

If you can bear less damage, try to bear as little damage as possible.

Moreover, this attack looked fierce and he could not guarantee that he could withstand it.

Because of Bertha's reminder, most people around her reacted and dodged to the side.

In the end, the beam of light only hit an unlucky leopard soldier.

The beam of light passed through his body silently, and the next second, his flesh and blood collapsed and shriveled at an extremely fast speed.

In less than three seconds, the leopard soldiers turned into mummies and rushed towards Mo Yu with weapons in hand.

Before anyone could catch their breath, another beam of light swept over.

Swish...shua...

After five beams of light, it finally stopped and the statue shattered into pieces.

And Mo Yu paid the price of the deaths of seven soldiers.

He couldn't help but feel a little scared. The power of this thing was very strange, and he was not sure if the defense tower BUFF on his body could withstand it.

Although defense towers such as the Bone Decay Tower and the Sunflower Tower provide a certain amount of curse resistance bonus, who can guarantee that they can withstand it?

With this thought in mind, Mo Yu took a few steps back and re-entered the passage.

A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, and a lord does not stand in front of a cannon.
