325 Where have the gods of this world gone?
"Uncle Long... I think maybe you're wrong..."
After Jackie Chan finished speaking, Jade looked at a mummy slowly rising from the yellow sand and swallowed hard.
"Xiaoyu, you must believe in science..."
"Uncle Long, quickly squat down!"
"what?"
Before Jackie Chan could react, he felt something hard pierce his body.
He instinctively looked down at his chest and saw the tip of a rusty scimitar pressed against it.
The one holding this rusty scimitar was actually a mummy.
A sharp, stinging sensation on his skin brought him back to his senses.
"Luckily I had the dog charm, otherwise Uncle Long, you would probably be in real trouble now."
Xiaoyu's voice came through, answering Jackie Chan's question about why he was alright.
“＆*＆*＆%%￥”
The mummy spoke a series of questions.
Xiaoyu couldn't understand it at all, but Vizé, who had a synesthetic beacon, could.
"Mortal, you're unharmed? Do you also have divine protection?"
"Divine power? That's an important clue! Lady Baizhi will definitely care about it!"
Vizer perked up immediately. He wasn't afraid of death. His memories were copied from a security squad leader in the Star Iron Universe, but unlike that squad leader, his essence was the Shadow Legion.
Even if you die here, you will retain your memories and wait for time to revive you.
All he had to do was to realize Bai Zhi's idea as much as possible.
"A resurrected mummy, with divine power?"
Upon seeing the message Vizhe sent her, Bai Zhi stroked her chin.
Does God exist in this world?
It is obvious that they exist, not just the eight immortal gods, also known as the Eight Immortals.
In the original storyline, a statue of Quetzalcoatl was even resurrected using a talisman.
Although this feathered serpent god is very weak due to the limitations of the spell itself, it should have actually existed; it's just unknown where it is now.
So, if the Eight Immortals appeared in Chinese civilization, then the feathered serpent god appeared in American civilization.
The ancient Egyptian civilization could not have existed without the existence of other gods.
She was actually quite curious about where all the gods and immortals in this world had gone.
Logically speaking, the Eight Immortals were powerful enough to seal away the Eight Great Demons, so it's impossible that they had all died of old age.
This is just too ridiculous.
After all, even many dark magic wizards have various ways to prolong their lives, let alone immortals and gods.
Perhaps, through this event, we can glimpse the reason for the disappearance of the gods.
"I'm sorry, I stole your books. I'm returning them to you now. May you rest in peace!!"
Upon seeing this, Jackie Chan immediately shoved the book in his hand into the hands of the resurrected mummy.
mummy:?
He paused for a moment, then took the Book of the Dead from Jackie Chan.
He had never seen anything like it before.
“Mr. Jackie Chan, I must remind you that if you return the book, you will face huge compensation.”
Upon seeing this, Vizer immediately spoke up.
"Mr. Vizer, look at the situation now. We took their books, and they got angry. It's not right to take them away by force, is it?"
"It's really not good, but how can he prove that the book is his?"
"Besides, he doesn't seem to have a very good impression of us..."
"Ok?"
Vizé's words drew Jackie Chan's attention back to the mummy. In the mummy's hand, the Book of the Dead was constantly being turned, and dozens of mummies wielding scimitars suddenly emerged from the desert.
These mummies clearly had ill intentions, and they surrounded the three of them.
Seeing this, Jackie Chan immediately understood that this guy really didn't intend to let them off the hook.
And I foolishly handed that obviously magical book to the other person.
"Ugh, so unlucky, so unlucky, so unlucky!!"
Without saying a word, Jackie Chan picked up Xiaoyu and ran.
Vizer easily followed behind. As a member of the security department, his physique, while not comparable to Captain America's, was certainly among the elite of the human race.
The mummy waved its hand, and the army of the dead began to quickly pursue the three.
"Uncle Long, how about I call Xiao Baizhi? She'll definitely have a solution!"
"No, don't call her, we can do it!"
Jackie Chan shouted as he dodged an attack from a mummy.
"Uncle Long, oh my god, look at the desert ahead!!"
"what?!"
Jackie Chan, who was running with his head down, looked up and saw that the endless yellow sand had formed a huge human face, which was swallowing the three of them.
Upon seeing this, Xiaoyu immediately dialed Baizhi's number.
"Little Angelica, help me!!"
"Heh, you finally remembered me?"
After Bai Zhi answered the call in the office, she smiled and then casually pressed the track support button on her phone.
She flew very fast, but it was impossible for her to reach the battlefield immediately.
The only option is to have the Hyperion airdrop some automated machinery to help.
"Stay put and don't move. My backup will be here soon!"
"Uncle Long, don't run away, Xiao Baizhi's reinforcements are coming soon."
"what?"
Upon hearing this, Jackie Chan paused for a moment, but continued walking.
In this life-or-death moment, he dared not trust anyone.
If anything were to happen to Xiaoyu, he would live with guilt for the rest of his life.
"Uncle Long, trust her, don't run away. Besides, we have talismans, we can take turns using them, we definitely won't die!"
"Otherwise, without support, we definitely wouldn't be able to defeat that mummy in this desert."
Xiaoyu shouted, ignoring the sand blowing in.
Even if she climbed the stairs, she wouldn't be able to get out of this vast desert.
Upon hearing Xiaoyu's words, Jackie Chan began to struggle with his inner conflict.
"That's right, I support it too. If we keep running like this, we can't beat that guy."
Wiese also put in extra effort.
"Alright then, let's hold our ground here for a bit. If things get really dangerous and her reinforcements haven't arrived yet, we'll keep running!"
As soon as he finished speaking, accompanied by a gust of wind from something falling, several airdrop pods landed on the ground to Jackie Chan's astonishment.
Then, several enormous figures emerged from within.
The dark gray automaton, the fanged wolf, along with the grizzly bear and some smaller mechs capable of deploying defenses, gradually approached the three, their weapons aimed at the approaching mummies.
"Zizzizi!"
The laser gun fired, easily slicing the mummies in half.
The wolf charged forward bravely and began to slice the mummies into pieces.
Magical creations may be intimidating to ordinary people, but they are far too weak for interstellar machines.
Let alone these dozens, even ten thousand mummies with knives couldn't defeat a single wolf-toothed robot.
The Soul of 326 People
"Holy crap, what are these things?!"
Jackie Chan was dumbfounded; all of this was beyond his comprehension.
If I remember correctly, I should have just asked Bai Zhi for help.
Then these robots fell from the sky.
Is something wrong here?
Mingzhi clearly represents a demon and should be skilled in all kinds of evil magic, but now this kind of high technology has appeared.
It somewhat overturned his worldview.
"Hey, Uncle Long, what do you think? Wasn't my decision brilliant?"
Xiaoyu proudly waved her phone in her hand.
"The eco-ship is so useful, I should definitely buy a star destroyer or a multi-purpose ship from a company next time."
In the sky, Bai Zhi flew while looking at the surveillance footage on her phone, somewhat surprised.
The ecological ship's capabilities are not particularly strong; it only possesses some basic self-defense weapons and a few production lines.
Those grizzly bears and wolves were all produced on the production line.
She had originally intended to use them to buy time, but to her surprise, the mummies couldn't break through her defenses.
Seeing the grizzly bear and the wolves relentlessly slaughtering the mummies he had summoned, the mummy holding the Book of the Dead paused for a moment. Instead of continuing to summon, it began chanting some nonsensical incantations.
A series of massive storms suddenly swept across the desert, rushing towards Jackie Chan and his companions.
The mummies can't kill you, but you can't avoid the area-of-effect damage from nature.
Upon seeing this, a robot that had been airdropped quickly deployed, forming a small steel barrier that enveloped the group.
Hearing the sound of gravel hitting metal and feeling the solid steel barrier, even Jackie Chan couldn't help but feel grateful to Bai Zhi.
Even if they have the Dog Talisman, in the face of such an attack, in the end only one person will likely survive.
Whether Bai Zhi is evil or righteous, what she did did help them.
Seeing the people protected by the robot, the mummy was dumbfounded. Has the world changed so fast? After being resurrected, he couldn't even beat an ordinary person.
Thinking of this, he recited the incantation again, attempting to use the curse within to kill these people.
"This book seems quite interesting, may I take a look?"
The sudden sound made the mummy shudder, and it instinctively looked in the direction from which the sound came.
He saw a short girl looking at him with great interest, or rather, at the Necronomicon in his hand.
Realizing he had been frightened, the mummy became somewhat annoyed, but did not retaliate.
Because he knew that although his body was already decaying, after being resurrected by the Book of the Dead, he would possess power far exceeding that of his former self.
It's strange that I didn't even realize how the other party approached me, given this power.
