CHAPTER 60: CHAPTER 60: PHARAOH AND THE LIFE GEM

"Are you an idiot? This is a pyramid, there’s no damn air conditioning."

Hearing this, the boss angrily rushed over and knocked his underling on the head.

But soon, he also noticed something was wrong.

The surrounding coffins seemed to have changed.

The white cloth on top of them had disappeared!

"Just now, weren’t these coffins wrapped in white cloth?" The boss surveyed the area in horror, swallowing hard.

"Yeah, so why aren’t they now?!"

The two underlings jumped up, looking around in terror.

"Quick, pry open the golden coffin, something’s not right here. Grab the gold, silver, and jewels inside, and leave immediately," the boss ordered. He took out tools from his bag and began prying the coffin with all his might.

The two underlings nodded, moved to different angles of the coffin, and started prying it open with all their strength.

As the three exerted all their strength, the coffin groaned and began to loosen.

At the same time, the ordinary black wooden coffins beside them made noises too, as if the dead inside were coming back to life!

"Hurry!" the boss shouted in fear. He had seen a lot of strange things before. In this world, it wasn’t unusual for the dead to come back to life.

The three quickened their pace.

Bam!

The coffin was pried open.

Inside lay a corpse wrapped entirely in golden cloth, with hands placed on its chest, gripping a gold-made scepter with a dazzling red gem!

Around the corpse, there were dazzling treasures of gold, silver, and jewels, each priceless and rare.

If they could take everything, it would be enough for the three of them to live worry-free for a lifetime!

Seeing the treasures, the three of them immediately showed greedy eyes, getting excited.

"Quick, grab as much as you can!"

The three of them hurriedly reached in, grabbing gold, silver, and jewels, stuffing them crazily into their bags, pockets, underwear, even stuffing rings into their mouths!

Ahhh!

At this time, eerie and terrifying sounds erupted from the other coffins, like the low growls of wild beasts.

Bam bam bam!

All the coffins on the scene exploded open, scaring the three of them to the ground.

One after another, bodies wrapped in white cloth sat up and crawled out.

They looked exactly like the mummies seen in movies!

In an instant, all the mummies turned their heads simultaneously, their hollow eye sockets staring intently at the three sitting on the ground!

Seeing the mummies appear, the three of them were dumbfounded.

"Ahhh, boss, the mummies are alive!"

"What do we do, boss, let’s run!"

The two underlings were terrified, constantly moving backward.

The mummies slowly marched toward them, dragging their feet like the living dead.

Seeing this, the boss laughed: "Run? These mummies move so slow, let’s finish taking everything before we go!"

Truly greedy for wealth, that’s the kind of person the boss was!

He disregarded everything, ran to the coffin, and frantically stuffed treasures into his bag, ignoring the mummies around him.

Seeing the boss unafraid, the two underlings also mustered courage and went to grab treasures.

Soon, their fear was buried by greed, and their eyes were filled with endless greed.

One underling inadvertently saw the red gem on the Pharaoh’s chest scepter, his eyes flashed with a strange red light.

His body froze, seemingly controlled, reaching out to grab the gem.

Just as the boss saw this, knowing some rules, like if a dead person is holding something like a gem, it should never be taken.

Because it could very well be the spiritual object that suppresses the soul and appeases its anger!

"Stop!" the boss immediately shouted, but it was too late.

The underling forcefully pulled out the scepter.

In an instant, a terrifying and powerful energy erupted from the golden coffin, sending the three flying backward.

They smashed heavily against the wall, spitting blood, and grew weak.

At this moment, outside, the sky above the pyramid changed dramatically.

Dark clouds gathered, lightning and thunder roared.

The Pharaoh Country, which hadn’t seen rain for years, suddenly experienced a storm!

Seeing the sudden downpour, the people of the Pharaoh Country instantly realized something was wrong.

This wasn’t a heavenly blessing; it was a heavenly punishment!

The Pharaoh’s tomb had an incident!

Boom!

A bolt of lightning struck down from the sky, hitting the top of the pyramid, followed by countless others.

The top of the pyramid acted like a lightning rod, crazily absorbing the lightning.

Inside, an earth-shattering change had already occurred.

The three tomb raiders looked at the golden coffin as a large hand lifted, clutching the edge of the coffin.

A mummy wrapped in golden cloth crawled out.

It was the Pharaoh!

He had resurrected!

"Intruders, how dare you disturb me!"

The Pharaoh’s deep, hoarse voice echoed throughout the pyramid.

It wasn’t spoken in Huaxia language, so the three couldn’t understand.

"I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have robbed your tomb, please spare us!" The boss, knowing better, endured the severe pain and knelt down to beg for mercy.

The two underlings followed suit.

But the mummies were getting closer to them.

At this moment, the scepter in the underling’s hand trembled, wanting to escape his grip.

In fright, the underling let it go.

In an instant, the scepter flew in front of the Pharaoh, who grabbed it with one hand.

When the Pharaoh held the scepter, waves of red energy burst from the gem, pouring into his body.

The golden cloth on him slowly dissipated, then reformed into a golden robe on his body.

More horrifyingly, the Pharaoh’s face, dead for centuries, slowly regained its color, turning into the appearance of a middle-aged man!

"Ah~ The wonderful life energy, I’m back again!" With countless energy surging into the Pharaoh, his whole body returned to its peak state.

He looked at the three tomb raiders, his eyes cold, raising his right hand high.

A surge of red energy burst from his scepter, wrapping around the three tomb raiders.

Lifting them high into the air.

"You shall be my first meal upon resurrection!" the Pharaoh spoke coldly, his mouth slightly open, as if sucking something in.

An astonishing scene unfolded, as the faces of the three tomb raiders quickly withered, visibly losing blood color.

Streams of red energy emerged from their bodies, as if the Pharaoh were sucking their blood!

Just as the three were about to be drained dry, a voice broke the atmosphere.

"The Dao Rhyme of the Way of Life, who would’ve thought there’d be Dao Rhyme Items in this Pharaoh Country, truly interesting."

Simultaneously, an oppressive force burst forth, instantly subduing the Pharaoh and the mummies.

Bam bam bam!

A succession of sounds echoed as mummies popped like balloons, turning to dust.

In front of the Pharaoh, a young man appeared.

It was Chen Lan.

He had come here upon sensing the Life Dao Rhyme’s aura.
