I, Became a Gravekeeper of the Pyramid of Giza - Chapter 24

Chapter 24: Thousands of King Sacred Scarabs. A Collision of Power!

When the netizens saw what the Scott siblings were doing, they were confused.

However, even if the Scotts knew what the netizens were wondering, they wouldn’t give an explanation.

Their top priority now was to enter the Pyramid of Giza quickly. It would be best if they could find the direct cure to their family curse.

With that thought in mind, they exhaled slowly.

Then, they proceeded forward.

…

Meanwhile, in the depths of the pyramid.

Vincent opened his eyes and exhaled slowly under the Hydra Tree.

His eyes were shining brightly, and his aura was much stronger than before.

“So there are so many benefits of cultivating corpses.”

Vincent mumbled to himself. In the beginning, he did not expect to receive so many benefits. He thought that it would only give a slight boost to his strength.

From the looks of it, he was wrong. He had only cultivated an immortal mummy, yet he felt like his body was getting stronger every second. Even his bloodline was about to achieve a breakthrough.

At the thought of that, Vincent summoned his profile page.

Host: Vincent

Age: 24

Strength: 42 (Normal human limit: 10)

Speed: 45 (Normal human limit: 10)

Endurance: 46 (Normal human limit: 10)

Recovery Speed: 49 (Normal human limit: 10)

Bloodline: Sun God’s Bloodline (About to evolve)

Subordinate: High Priest Aaron (Immortal Mummy, Cultivating)

Seeing the data in front of him, Vincent nodded in satisfaction.

After just one night, the feedback he received from cultivating Aaron’s mummy had almost doubled his physical statistics.

Furthermore, his Sun God’s bloodline was about to evolve.

And the immortal mummy was about to complete its evolution too.

Ding!

“High-level explorers detected in the pyramid. Host, please expel or kill them as soon as possible.”

“After completing the mission, the system will reward you with 45,000 merit points and grant you access to the Level 3 Merchant Shop!”

Hearing that, Vincent’s face beamed with joy.

That’s awesome.

Vincent didn’t actually hate it when people came to challenge the Pyramid of Giza. In fact, he looked forward to it.

This was the only way he could kill explorers to obtain system rewards. He could also become stronger in the process.

And he was right.

The stronger the explorers, the more rewards the system would give.

He did not receive many rewards even after defeating the whole archaeological team. However, this time, the system would actually grant him access to the Level 3 Merchant Shop after eliminating this group of people.

However, if the system evaluated that this mission was worth such rich rewards, it seemed like these three exorcists were harder to deal with.

“Come out and meet those exorcists.”

Ta-ta-tat.

As soon as Vincent finished speaking, countless sacred scarabs crawled out from the Hydra Tree.

After such a long time of breeding, the number of sacred scarabs had increased to nearly 10,000.

Suddenly, the Hydra Tree shook.

Buzz!

A large swarm of red bugs rose into the air, circling above the Hydra Tree.

If the archaeologists were still here, they would have peed their pants in fear at the sight. At that time, the number of king scarabs had increased from one to several hundred.

The king scarabs were scarlet red like blood. They looked extremely terrifying.

Buzz!

Along with the sacred scarabs, another group of bugs also appeared. Countless fire ladybugs also flew down from the Hydra Tree.

From the looks of it, the fire ladybugs had also taken the time to breed.

Furthermore, there were quite a number of them. It looked as if the swarm could blot out the entire sky.

“Go on. Teach those explorers a lesson.”

“There’s no need to leave anyone alive this time.”

As soon as Vincent finished speaking, thousands of king scarabs and countless fire ladybugs flew toward the passage ahead.

There were so many of them that they almost filled the entire tunnel.

No matter what cards those exorcists had up their sleeves, it would be difficult to survive this round of attack unscathed.

…

“It’s here. This is where the archaeological team encountered sacred scarabs.”

At this moment, the team had reached the staircase. The cameraman couldn’t help but shiver.

He said while hiding behind the three of them.

Meanwhile, the cameraman’s words also made the netizens nervous. After all, the previous experience was quite unforgettable.

Now that the exorcist had arrived at the same place, the netizens wondered how they would react.

After hearing the cameraman’s words, the Scotts seemed indifferent. There wasn’t a hint of fear on their faces.

Wayne walked to the side of the stairs alone and looked at the bottomless staircase. Suddenly, he covered his mouth with both hands and let out a sound like a chirping bird.

“Tweet-Tweet-Tweet~”

“Tweet~Tweet-Tweet~”

Wayne made a strange sound.

The netizens were all puzzled.

“What are you doing, Mr. Scott?”

Wayne replied, “This is the way of Nature. Birds eat insects, but bugs like sacred scarabs like eating birds.”

“If there are any sacred scarabs down there, they’ll probably be attracted by the sound.”

Although the Scott family were exorcists, during their years of exorcism, they had come into contact with many evil beings, including those proficient in various abilities.

That was how they learned different skills.

And ventriloquism was one of them.

As expected, not long after.

Ta-ta-tat!

A series of sounds came from below the stairs. Everyone who heard this sound, including the netizens watching the broadcast, was stunned.

“D*mn, it actually worked!”

“I’m shocked! That exorcist is way too powerful! He even knows how to do ventriloquism!”

“How eye-opening. I’ve learned new things today.”

“What have you learned?”

“But why did they want to attract sacred scarabs? Other people all want to stay out of their way, but why did they provoke them?!”

“Look, they’ve attracted not just sacred scarabs, but fire ladybugs too!”

At that moment, everyone who was staring at the staircase had fear written all over their faces. They saw a dense swarm of palm-sized sacred scarabs crawling toward them.

What was even scarier was that…

Several hundred bright red king scarabs flew out from behind the sacred scarabs, followed by a large number of fire ladybugs.

There were so many of them that they filled the whole tunnel.

“Wayne, be careful. There are king scarabs too.”

Allen warned Wayne. Wayne frowned and shouted, “Follow the plan!”

“Let’s go back.”

With that, he turned around and ran.

Countless sacred scarabs and fire ladybugs chased after him.

“No way. They ran away the moment they saw the bugs!”

“Then they are no different from the archaeological team. Those exorcists are not impressive after all!”

All the netizens were puzzled.

Wayne Scott and the others ran on without looking back. When they returned to the place where they had scattered the powder, Leena took out two bottles and smashed them on the ground.

At this moment.

Large amounts of gas spewed out.

The Scott siblings suddenly stopped running.

“What’s going on?”

“Th-this!”

When the sacred scarabs and the king scarabs caught up with them, the cameraman turned around in horror. However, he was completely shocked by what he saw next.
