In fact, even if the Egyptologist didn't shout, Chen Mo and Ada Wang were ready to run away.
Although one of them was a necromancer and the other a vampire, they still felt numb when facing the army of insects that spewed out from the ground like Baotu Spring.
Ada Wang used the assault rifle in her hand to shoot at the swarm of insects from time to time, trying to kill them, but with little success.
After all, although the assault rifle is very powerful and the bullets it fires can effectively kill these scarabs, there are too many bugs. After a magazine is fired, there are only dozens of bullets, which can kill more than a hundred bugs.
It has no effect on this tide of insects.
"Ada, use grenades to blow up the passage!" Chen Mo noticed the lack of power of the assault rifle in Ada Wang's hand and immediately asked her to use rifle grenades.
Although using grenades underground is likely to blow up the entire passage and bury themselves underneath, compared to being eaten by those scarabs, being buried alive is nothing to Chen Mo and Ada Wang.
So after hearing what Chen Mo said, Ada Wang directly fired a grenade to the top of the passage without saying a word.
As a grenade exploded, the scattered shrapnel instantly cleared the scarabs within the explosion range on the ground, and also collapsed the top of the passage.
Broken stones mixed with sand fell down instantly, blocking the passage.
Seeing Ada Wang blowing up the passage, the Americans and Egyptologists couldn't help but stop, leaning on the stone wall with their knees and breathing heavily.
Even Chen Mo himself couldn't help but feel a little weak. After all, he was a necromancer, not a mage like Gandalf who only focused on light magic and sword skills. His physical fitness was still somewhat lacking.
"Are we safe now? What should we do next?" The American looked at Chen Mo. He still had a good impression of Chen Mo for pulling him out just now, and his two friends were not around now.
, so it was natural to regard Chen Mo as the backbone.
The Egyptologists on the side also turned their hopeful eyes to Chen Mo. He was a native of Egypt and had some knowledge of these gods and goddesses in ancient Egypt, especially after studying the Black Book of the Dead for a lifetime.
Everyone could see that the situation in front of them triggered some taboos and caused a disaster.
For a scholar like him, there was really no good solution for this kind of thing, but Chen Mo's previous demonstrated expertise in various knowledge about ancient Egypt made him unconsciously place his hopes on Chen Mo.
As for Ada Wang, Chen Mo naturally does whatever he says. Who made him the boss?
Facing the gazes of the three people, Chen Mo adjusted his breathing before saying: "Let's take a short rest and continue moving forward. Although the tunnel was destroyed by the explosion, no one knows when those bugs will crawl over. We'd better find a way to get out first."
Bar!
This is the underground of the Tower of Hamna, the resting place of the pharaohs. It is already like that above. Who knows if there is something more terrifying underground? Those insects may be just appetizers."
Upon hearing this, the Egyptologist's face suddenly turned green. He had heard too many legends about the Pharaoh's curse and Egyptian mummies.
Naturally, the Americans had no objections. After the four of them took a short rest, they began to move forward along the passage to find a way out.
On the other side, O'Connor and others were also chased by the bugs, with no way to go to the sky or to the ground. In the process of avoiding the bugs, even Evelin got separated from O'Connor and Jonathan because of accidentally touching a trap.
This immediately made the two of them anxious, but the mechanisms in the ancient city were too old. O'Connor and Jonathan obviously didn't understand them very well, so they could only knock on the wall, trying to activate the mechanisms.
However, just as they were trying, two other Americans suddenly ran past them, beckoning them to run together.
Behind them, a black swarm of insects spread like a tide, and a few slow-running workers had been swamped by the swarm, chewing away until only their bones were left.
Seeing this scene, O'Connor and Jonathan stopped looking for Evelin and hurriedly followed the two Americans to escape.
The underground roads in Hamna Tower are so complicated that although the four people were able to escape the pursuit of the Scarab, they also got lost in these underground passages.
The four people were holding torches and pistols in their hands, and their nerves were a little tense at this time. The excitement of this archaeological trip to make a fortune was too much, especially the encounters in the past two days, which made them have to tighten their nerves.
.
However, it seemed that the scarabs had retreated or did not pursue them. They walked around the underground passage for a long time and did not encounter those terrible insects again.
Not only did they not encounter any bugs, they even found their way out and were gradually walking outward along the passage, feeling a little more relaxed.
However, O'Connor and Jonathan were still thinking about Evelyn who was missing, and the two Americans were also thinking about their friends. This led them to decide to search again to find the missing people after some discussion.
"O'Connor, where do you think Evelin went? Nothing will happen to her, right? I'm the only sister!" Jonathan asked O'Connor with an uneasy look.
Although he is not a good person in any sense, he cares for his sister sincerely.
O'Connor on the side was naturally very worried about his employer at this time, but he still calmly said to Jonathan: "Don't worry, your sister is so smart and familiar with ancient Egyptian culture. As long as she doesn't run around and move anything, she will be fine."
It'll be fine, maybe she'll get out before us!"
After hearing this, he thought of his sister's usual personality. Although Jonathan was not worried that she would get lost in the underground passage, he was at the same time worried that his sister would not touch anything that was not changed.
He had just heard from two Americans that it was his sister who stole the book and read the contents that attracted the locusts and these scarabs.
As for the two Americans on the side, they were less worried. After all, they remembered that when they finally separated, Chen Mo seemed to have helped his friend, and they should have walked together.
The two Americans are very envious and trust the powerful weapons in the hands of Chen Mo and Ada Wang. With such powerful weapons, they think they should be safer than them.
Just when a few people were worried about their separated companions, they suddenly saw Evelin who was separated in the passage ahead.
However, they all felt their hairs stand on end and their scalps were numb, rather than foreseeing the joy of their companions.
Because in front of Evelin stood a haggard mummy, the same mummy they dug up during the day.
