Chapter Thirteen: The Return to Shi Keng

  Fang Kai swallowed hard, his lips trembling as he stammered: "Th-this... what's going on?" Unconsciously, he took a few steps back, and at the same time, the Iron Armor Mummy Legion took heavy strides towards the two of them.

  "Kai, what are you still dazing about? Run quickly!" Pang Dong was the first to react, and he patted Fang Kai's shoulder. The latter came back to his senses, and the two of them turned around and ran away. Pang Dong was in front, and Fang Kai was behind. The two of them sprinted all the way. Fang Kai glanced back, but couldn't see the Mummy Army, and felt slightly relieved. But just at this moment, Pang Dong stopped.

  Fang Kai slammed on the brakes but couldn't stop in time, and he crashed into something with a thud. He rubbed his forehead, which had started to swell, and complained, "Huang Dong, what's wrong with you?!" Suddenly, Fang Kai understood why Huang Dong had stopped. In front of him, three iron-armored mummies were staring at them indifferently, each holding a poisonous snake.

  There are obstacles ahead and pursuers behind, this time it's likely to be more disastrous than auspicious.

  Fat Dong turned his head and whispered to Fang Kai: "Quickly take out the Ka Ma electric beam gun." "Oh!" Conditional launch, Fang Kai nodded, then flipped through the multi-dimensional bag, but suddenly remembered that the electric beam gun had fallen in the desert. However, this made him even more convinced that the Fat Dong in front of him was real.

  Fang Kai took out the button-type laser shovel and handed it to Pang Dong, then took out his own pulse gun: "The Ka Ma electric beam gun is gone, can only use these things now." Pang Dong nodded, stretched out his arm, shot out a white silk thread towards the three iron-armored Mummies, and at the same time, he kicked off with both legs, driving the laser shovel to jump forward.

  Time waits for no one, the two must make a quick decision! Otherwise, when the Mummy Army arrives, the two will definitely die without a place to bury them. Fang Kai also realized this, so he aimed the pulse cannon at the rear and fired a heavy shot.

  A silver-white light pillar smashed to the ground, causing the entire tomb passage to shake. The bricks exploded open, and the dust raised by the explosion enveloped the entrance, blocking Fang Kai's line of sight. Fang Kai let out a long sigh, hoping that this cannon could intimidate the Iron Armor Mummy Legion for a while, so as to buy time for them to take down the three mummies in front.

  Fat Dong, after releasing the laser beam, directly used the shovel as a knife and swung it wildly. "Get out of here!" Fat Dong hacked down the snake heads one by one while cursing, splashing snake blood onto the wall, looking eerie and unpredictable. But what made Fat Dong most incredulous was that those beheaded snakes actually opened their poisonous fangs like tracking missiles, directly biting towards Fat Dong.

  Bao Dong suddenly had an idea, wanting to shake off these snakes, but couldn't get rid of them. They were like lice, biting tightly onto the white gauze on Bao Dong's body, and no matter what, he couldn't shake them off.

  Fat Dong simply didn't care, aiming the laser pillar at the mummy's skull and slashing it diagonally upwards. The pink pillar sword cut through the white gauze on the mummy's neck, but only opened a shallow wound on its throat. Apparently, the metal that made up the mummy was very sturdy and could withstand the laser pillar's instant kill.

  But even so, Pang Dong didn't give up, dripping water can pierce stone, and with a few more chops, the Mummy would be dead. Thinking of this, Pang Dong increased his strength, darting back and forth among the three Mummies.

  Because Fat Dong is also a Mummy now, infrared rays are isolated from many places, so the Iron Armor Mummies can hardly accurately locate it and can only launch vague attacks. Their arms are heavy and hard, and when they hit the wall, they can poke a deep hole.

  Although it was difficult, Fat Dong was in a tough spot, after all three mummies were attacking together, and their power was not to be underestimated. Fat Dong could only stand with his stout body, wandering on the edge of death. "Kai Zi, quickly give them a blast." Fat Dong shouted loudly, he successfully used his laser to drive the three iron-armored mummies into a ball, this was the best opportunity to get rid of them!

  "Alright!" Fang Kai responded, aiming the pulse cannon at the three iron-clad mummies and blasting them with a loud shot. "Boom!" A deafening explosion shook the air, sending out a massive shockwave that knocked both Pang Dong and Fang Kai off their feet. The two stared blankly as the iron-clad mummies were blown to smithereens, metal blocks wrapped in white cloth scattered all over the ground.

  The remaining flames burned the white gauze, and thick black smoke emerged from the metal block. The two of them took a closer look, only to see that the head of the wooden mummy wrapped in white gauze was filled with a mess of wires, and sparks were jumping on the wires from time to time. Fat Dong spat on the ground and kicked a metal head far away, muttering: "Damn it, what kind of thing is this?"

  Fang Kai shook his head and pursed his lips, saying: "Don't worry about this for now, let's escape first." Pang Dong nodded, and the two of them put away their pulse guns and continued to run forward. But just as they were about to move, three more iron-armored Mummies emerged from the darkness in front of them. They still held venomous snakes in their hands, with cold, red eyes that were identical to those of the previous iron-armored Mummy.

  "Damn it!" Seeing this, Pang Dong couldn't help but curse. Fang Kai's brow furrowed completely, his heart growing more and more uneasy: How did these mummies come out? Why didn't he notice them before? They appeared in groups of three, probably killing one batch only to have another emerge endlessly until the mummy army corps behind caught up.

  Then, when Fat Dong pulled out the laser shovel again, Fang Kai stretched out his hand to stop him: "It's useless, they can't be killed." Fang Kai shook his head, looking a bit down. Fat Dong fell silent, slowly putting down the shovel, and said helplessly: "Killing is death, not killing is also death, either way it's death... Alas! I, Fatzi, was so carefree, but now I'll be buried here. What a premature death!!" Fat Dong sighed repeatedly, with a gnashing teeth expression.

  Fang Kai wanted to laugh, but couldn't. At this moment, the entire tomb passage suddenly shook! The two of them changed color and moved their gaze to the back, indeed, a team of iron-armored mummies was stepping in the same pace, advancing towards the two of them. They were like soldiers, but much more ferocious than soldiers!

  The two of them swallowed hard and turned their heads to look in another direction, unable to move as if petrified.

  Only to see row after row of "Three Iron Armor Mummies" walking out, they were arranged in three neat columns, following the three mummies in front. Under the guidance of the leader, the three columns of mummies walked towards Fang Ke and the others. The goal was clear, they wanted to merge with the Iron Armor Mummy Legion and kill Fang Ke and the others together.

  Suddenly, the two became a sandwich.

  Not only that, but what made Fang Kai and the others burst with rage was that all three mummies were holding two poisonous snakes in their hands. At this moment, the snakes slid to the ground, spitting out red letters as they crawled towards the two men.

  "Kai zi, what are we going to do now?!" Pang Dong held the laser shovel, twisting it back and forth between his hands, he really couldn't imagine the tragic scene that was about to unfold!

  Fang Kai shook his head, frantically pulling out the pulse gun from the multi-dimensional bag, but due to his excessively trembling hands, the pulse gun fell to the ground. "Dead, dead... This isn't a dream, we're really going to die." Fang Kai muttered to himself, dejectedly sitting down at the edge of the tomb path, his face deathly pale.

  Fat Dong gritted his teeth and spun the laser shovel onto the three rows of mummies, self-destructing. Immediately after, he picked up the pulse cannon and fired several shots at the mummy army. "Boom boom boom..." Wave after wave of explosions erupted, instantly turning the entire tomb into ruins! The top of the tomb cracked open, bricks fell to the ground, and the scene was chaotic.

  However, what made Pang Dong disappointed was that there were many Iron Armored Mummies, and the ones destroyed were just a drop in the ocean. Moreover, the mummies that had been attacked seemed to become even more ferocious, accelerating their approach towards the two of them.

  Mechanical armor rose and fell, Pang Dong held the pulse cannon, wanting to fire again, but unexpectedly two poisonous snakes crawled onto his hands. They had big mouths, revealing silver fangs, dark red tongues with a few threads of venom floating on them. Pang Dong was startled, hurriedly loosening his grip, the pulse cannon falling to the ground. When he came back to his senses, wanting to pick up the pulse cannon, two mummies were already in front of him!

  The situation was critical, and Bao Dong shot out a white silk, wrapping up Fang Kai, making him leave the snake's encirclement. After a pause, Bao Dong adjusted his direction and took back the pulse cannon with the same method. However, this made the mummies closer to the two men, almost within reach.

  Not until the coffin is closed do tears flow, but when there's really no hope of escape, you can only give up. Pang Dong let out a sigh, pulled back the white cloth, and hugged Fang Kai, silently watching as the mummies raised their steel-like arms, watching as snake after snake stood up with their long bodies... Are we going to die? Pang Dong closed his eyes, but just at this critical moment, a familiar voice rang out: "Quickly follow me."

  Pang Dong was stunned for a moment, and then the voice rang out again: "Hurry up and follow me, hurry!" Pang Dong hastily opened his eyes, and saw that one of the taller Mummies in the Mummy Army was gesturing to him.

  Pang Dong remembered, that was Qiao Mu's voice. Overjoyed, Pang Dong nodded and quickly put away the pulse gun, then hugged Fang Kai and slipped to Qiao Mu's side. Qiao Mu snapped his fingers, and the white gauze shot onto the intact tombstone, he nodded at Pang Dong, indicating for him to do the same.

  Fat Dong understood, and the two quickly tied the white gauze into a knot, forming a "swing". "One, two... three!" Before the Mummy Army could react, Jorms and Fat Dong put Fang Kai on the swing and swung it with force. The swing passed over the mummies' heads, throwing Fang Kai heavily outside the encirclement.

  With a successful strike, Jorms and Fat Dong let out a long sigh of relief, but at this moment, the Mummy Army had come back to life! Time was pressing, the two exchanged a glance, and simultaneously climbed onto the swing. But just as they were about to soar into the air, an iron-clad mummy firmly grasped Jorms' foot with its hand.

  Qiao Mu Si was taken aback, then pulled out a laser spade from his waist and chopped at the iron hand with force. What left him stunned was that the iron hand didn't budge, but his tiger's mouth had already gone numb.

  Seeing this, Fat Dong hastily took out the pulse gun and fired a shot at the base of Iron Hand. This time, Iron Hand finally broke off, but the remaining hand still tightly grasped Joe, making him very depressed.

  The two of them let out a cry of "ah" and jumped off the swing at the same time, landing right next to Fang Kai. As soon as they landed, Pang Dong hastily fired four or five shots towards the entrance, temporarily blocking their way with the exploding rocks.

  Fat Dong felt a great relief, and then asked Fang Kai: "Kai Zi, are you okay?" Fang Kai shook his head, looking a bit down. Not really, at the critical moment, he actually got possessed, almost losing his life. Qiao Mu Si patted Fang Kai's shoulder, giving him an understanding look.

  Fang Kai let out a bitter laugh, and suddenly noticed that Pang Dong was not wrapped in white gauze. That wasn't the problem, the problem was that the Pang Dong Fang Kai saw now was no longer a skeleton, but a flesh-and-blood person!

  What's going on?! Fang Kai was shocked, looked around the stone pit, and his eyes stopped at the crystal coffin. "Could it be because of this..." Thinking of this, he decided to go and investigate.

  Fang Kai turned around, beckoned to Qiao Mu and Pang Dong: "This crystal coffin is unusual, let's go down and take a look, maybe we can escape." After finishing speaking, Fang Kai climbed down by himself.

  Seeing this, Qiao Mu and Pang Dong exchanged a glance and hastily followed suit.
