Chapter 89 Anubis

"The first step is to be swallowed by quicksand..."

Adam found the quicksand pit that Tuya had mentioned, and was swallowed up by the quicksand without any resistance. Adam, wrapped in protective magic, drifted in the gravel for half an hour before feeling empty under his feet.

The magic circle flashed in the void, and the silver-white wings, which were similar to the Animagus's fur, suddenly opened up and flapped twice in the air to stabilize themselves. Fluorescent balls floated out of Adam's hands and illuminated the dimness. A lightless underground palace.

Stone tablets are engraved with symbols praising the gods. The tall statue of Anubis stands at the end of the sight. Looking up, the flowing yellow sand is blocked by invisible forces above the head.

This is the ground floor of Hamneputra. In the past, Egyptians worshiped the gods of the underworld here with awe of death. But now no one cares about it, and the solemn and majestic buildings have been reduced to yellow sand. Buried ruins.

"The second step is to activate the mechanism."

After landing in front of the statue of Anubis and folding his wings, Adam found the mechanism Tuya said. After starting it, Anubis slowly turned half a circle with one foot as the center, revealing a downward staircase.

Adam walked all the way down the stairs. After walking for about a minute, a light finally appeared in front of him. Under the light, Adam saw a stone door there and a huge monster.

"Step three...go through the gate guarded by the Sphinx."

The palm resting on the ground is almost as tall as Adam. This sphinx is not much smaller than the statue next to the pyramid. It is far more in line with Adam's fantasy of Anubis than the previous hairball.

Thinking of Uther's hairball, the corners of Adam's mouth slightly raised, holding the staff of darkness in one hand, and summoning a Clow card with a fish on the other hand.

"Answer my question, what..."

"The seal is lifted——"

The tall Sphinx was frozen into lumps of ice in the blink of an eye, and then shattered into ice crystals that filled the sky the next moment.

This sphinx is not a real magical animal, but a golem created by ancient magic. Its weakness is low temperature. Even if it is killed, it will reappear after a few days. Therefore, it is not for Uther at all that Adam solves it. Feel distressed.

"The fourth step is to avoid the magical animals on the road and find the passage."

Push open the giant door and continue to move forward. The passage on the map left by Uther is in the southwest corner. He may encounter magical animals such as Niven snakes and manticores along the way, but Adam is not interested at all. Worry about this.

“Keep a snake for a thousand days, use it for a while.”

Adam twisted open the glass bottle, released the basilisk, and released the basilisk's shrinking magic.

"Mo Du, go ahead and clear the way."

"hiss……"

The basilisk moved its body, opened its eyes and glanced at Adam, spat out a message meaninglessly and then started to follow the direction pointed by Adam.

Don’t ask, it’s just that it also took a bite of the basilisk soup that Adam cooked before, and it also watched while the basilisk eyeballs were roasted.

On one side, there is meat for three meals, and on the other side, there is snake meat stew and eyeball barbecue. The basilisk now named Modu still knows how to choose, and it also eats the weak.

The scales of the basilisk rubbed against the gravel on the ground, making a rustling sound, triggering similar sounds all around, but they were all in the direction away from Adam. It was obvious that the power of the snake king could at least scare away the runes.

As for the group of manticores crawling towards Adam, because their eyeball structures were similar to those of spiders, they would die immediately after just one encounter with the basilisk. The ground was densely covered with the corpses of manticores.

The journey was smooth, Adam stepped on the road crushed by the basilisk, and the manticore's carapace crunched under his feet.

If it was normal, he might still think about how to eat this thing, or get a few to raise, but now he is obviously not in the mood.

Finally arriving at the passage on the map, Adam looked at the hieroglyphic text on the wall in front of him:

"The last step, Uther marked the Eye of Horus on the map, but he didn't write how to trigger it..."

Adam looked at the three Eyes of Horus on the wall and saw nothing wrong with them, so he reached out and touched them one by one.

"Um?"

There is a bulge on the last Eye of Horus? But it looks obviously normal...

Adam tried to button it, but it didn't work, so he pressed it harder.

"Rumble--"

The wall suddenly cracked along the branch lines of the hieroglyphics, slowly sinking into the wall to the left and right sides respectively, revealing a dim passage.

The ball of light floated into the passage, and Adam could see that at the entrance of the passage, there were new hieroglyphics on the wall.

The general idea is that there is the underworld ahead, and any living person who enters it will never be able to return to the world again.

"Underworld..."

Putting away Mo Du, his fingers traced across the holy script symbolizing the underworld, and Adam stepped into the passage resolutely holding the staff of darkness.

"boom--"

As soon as he stepped into the passage, the sound of a mechanism came from behind Adam. The walls that had been retracted on both sides were about to close again. Adam quickly took out a candy cane and sent it forward——

"Ka-ka..."

The candy with the protective magic was indestructible and stuck firmly between the walls that were about to close. Then, under the powerful magic, the walls on both sides were pushed back.

Leaving a way out, Adam stepped forward and found a piece of linen hanging down from above at the end of the road.

Adam remembered that when he came to Egypt last time, Uther seemed to have mentioned this mechanism, behind the false door of the pyramid - except for the descendants of the pharaoh, anyone who passed through this thing would fall into the underworld and never come back.

It feels a bit like the curtain in the Hall of Death in the Department of Mysteries of the British Ministry of Magic?

Adam picked up the linen with the Dark Rod and walked directly over.

The protective magic around his body was triggered in an instant, and Adam could clearly feel the changes in the surrounding environment.

"Is this the underworld?"

"Strictly speaking, this is not the underworld, but the place of judgment, the border between life and death, and the country ruled by the god Anubis."

The sudden voice did not scare Adam, he nodded in a daze:

"Fengdu City, Misty Fantasy, Erebus..."

In an instant, the border between life and death seemed to have changed from the kingdom of God ruled by Anubis to a group of gods living in a crowded rented house.

The voice in the dark was silent for a moment, and then continued as if nothing had happened:

"Come forward, the creatures who have entered the underworld, accept the test of judgment..."

Adam's eyes were slightly cold, and he held the dark staff tightly, and continued to move forward.

This time he really walked to the end of the passage. After walking out of the door, the road ahead led to a circular platform, surrounded by an extremely vast space with no visible boundaries. In the center of the circular platform was a golden scale, and the two ends of the scale were balanced at this time - there was nothing on the left side of the scale, and an ostrich feather stood on the right side of the scale.

"The living who have entered the underworld..."

A huge jackal head poked out from the boundless darkness, and He slowly spoke:

"I am Anubis, hand over your heart, and I will judge whether you can continue to move forward..."

As the jackal head who claimed to be Anubis finished speaking, the protective magic on Adam was triggered, and nothing else happened.

The scene was a little awkward for a while...

"Did you take out the heart of others for trial a few days ago?"

Adam looked at Anubis and said loudly.

"Ah... the person who broke the rules."

Anubis frowned as he looked at Adam, whose heart had not been taken out, but did not refuse to answer:

"Geb's protection cannot protect him forever. His soul will eventually fall into the lake of fire and be devoured by Amit, just like the other person who broke the rules... His death is near."

Hard, hard fist.

"How can I get his heart and soul back?"

"The blasphemer will be damned in hell forever!"

Take a deep breath, Adam slowly raised the staff of darkness...
