The dark mist surged, even though it had become thinner, there was still not much light passing through, so the environment looked dim, with a sense of oppression.

Lin Baici’s face was calm as he looked at the burly man wearing the pharaoh’s golden mask on top of the pyramid. “Peasant, kneel!”

The burly man roared when he saw Lin Baici not kneeling, his voice filled with majesty and dominance, like an emperor who had conquered boundless territories.

“You all stay where you are!”

Lin Baici whispered to Jin Yingzhen and Hua Yueyu, then walked forward. “How do you prove that you are our king?”

He wanted to get closer to the other person to facilitate a sneak attack.

“Wearing this golden mask makes me your king!”

The burly man shouted, spreading his arms. “Peasants, kneel and offer your cheers and applause to your king!” “Baici, it’s too dangerous to defy him like this. Why not kneel first?”

Cai Wenqi worried.

“Yes, kneel. It won’t cost you anything!” The salesperson persuaded.

“For the sake of survival, it’s not embarrassing.”

The hoodie guy spoke in a tone of understanding.

“Kneel quickly, or it might kill you!”

Seeing this, others also urged Lin Baici. They didn’t actually care about his life or death, but they were worried that his recklessness would bring trouble to everyone.

Like angering the real pharaoh.

Lin Baici was powerful in battle, so he might be fine, but the others wouldn’t. Once in danger, there was a high probability that they would die.

[A group of selfish trash!]

“Alright, great king, please accept my worship!”

Lin Baici took a few more steps forward, as if he was about to kneel, then suddenly threw the Dragon Tooth King Sword in his hand. Swish!

The bronze sword carried a faint green light, like a shooting star passing through the night sky in midsummer. In the blink of an eye, it pierced through the burly man’s throat.

A burst of fresh blood spurted out, splattering on the steps of the pyramid.

The burly man staggered back a few steps, then fell down on the steps with a thud. Thud! Thud!

The burly man rolled down. “What?”

Everyone’s scalp tingled. No one expected Lin Baici to suddenly make a move. He was truly audacious and lawless. And his sword, it could actually fly?

Impressive!

Baihetun stared at the bronze sword, his face filled with intense greed. This was an excellent divine taboo.

Hongqijing didn’t pay attention to the sword. She was more concerned about Lin Baici’s character. It seemed that he was a strong and domineering man who wouldn’t even stoop to such a humiliating act, even if it was just an act.

“Is he dead?”

The salesperson glanced at the body, then looked around vigilantly, worried that monsters would suddenly attack them.

Lin Baici walked towards the burly man’s body, but after a few meters, he suddenly stopped because the guy’s body twisted and stood up again.

“What the hell, he’s not dead?”

“This guy turned into a monster?” “Let’s run!” The crowd clamored.

“You filthy peasants, how dare you attack the greatest and supreme king of ancient Egypt. I curse you all, plagued by misfortune.”

“Disease, disaster, and war will soon take your lives!” The burly man stood there, shouting hoarsely.

A hole appeared in his throat, and blood gushed out, soaking his clothes, making him look like a bloody figure, terrifying and ferocious.

Everyone’s faces turned ugly when they heard this guy’s curse. “It can’t be true, right?”

The salesperson was annoyed. Even if the curse wouldn’t take effect, just hearing it would make people feel unlucky. Some people wanted to leave.

“It’s useless. Even if you flee to the ends of the earth, the curse will follow you, killing you and your family, relatives, and friends.”

“By blaspheming the supreme king, death is your only fate!”

After the burly man finished speaking, the two gemstone eyes on his golden mask suddenly shot out two purple beams of light, sweeping across the entire scene from left to right, affecting everyone.

“What the hell!”

The crowd was frightened, some timid women even started crying.

Lin Baici lowered his head and touched the part of his chest that was swept by the beam of light, feeling nothing.

“You said kneeling would be enough, so why did you have to kill him? Now we’re in trouble, aren’t we?” A woman with permed hair complained.

Among these people, some were actually dissatisfied with Lin Baici for bringing the curse of the pharaoh upon them, but due to his powerful combat strength, they didn’t dare to complain.

“Shut your dog mouth!” Jin Yingzhen scolded.

“You can leave if you want, no one is stopping you!”

Hua Yueyu glared at the permed hair woman. “And remember, if it weren’t for Lin Baici saving you just now, you would have been captured by those mummies!”

“He helped me, and I’m grateful to him, but now he’s led everyone into a ditch!” The permed hair woman deliberately changed the concept.Because saving someone’s life is more important than helping someone, so when she said she would help, it meant that she didn’t owe Lin Baici a big favor.

“Did you forget what I just said? It’s dangerous to follow me!” Lin Baici glanced at the girl with permed hair. “Who told you to follow?” “Uh…”

The girl with permed hair was speechless.

After the strong man reached the top of the pyramid, he sat on the steps and looked at these people. “Enjoy your death, commoners!”

Everyone was on edge and didn’t know what to do next. Suddenly, a middle-aged man who was slightly overweight fell to the ground without any warning.

This scared the people nearby, and they quickly pushed away, leaving a circular area.

Lin Baici walked over and stood five meters away, carefully examining it. “Heh, the curse has begun, the first one!”

The strong man laughed, resting his right elbow on his knee, his palm dragging across his cheek, slightly tilting his head, with an expression as if watching an opera.

“Xiaobai, is this curse the same as the rule contamination caused by the divine turtle shell in the God’s Ruins in Palm Harbor?” Hua Yueyu muttered softly, stealing a glance at the strong man on the steps of the pyramid. “Should we go and snatch that golden mask?”

“No rush!”

Lin Baici walked towards the corpse. “That mask obviously has a bewitching effect. I’m worried that after coming into contact with it, I will be controlled!”

Lin Baici walked to the side of the overweight man’s corpse and poked it with a torch made of pine wood.

The corpse visibly shriveled up, like it had been exposed to the scorching sun in the desert, quickly dehydrating and appearing smaller.

Lin Baici rubbed the torch on the ground. Whoosh!

The flame ignited, and then Lin Baici set fire to the corpse. Boom!

In less than twenty seconds, the corpse burned to ashes. “Any discoveries?”

The salesman anxiously asked. Just as he finished speaking, another man fell to the ground with a thud, suddenly dead.

“The second one!”

The strong man chuckled, a smirk appearing at the corner of his mouth, as if he were the king playing with the struggles of mortals, watching a group of ants.

Lin Baici looked at the strong man.

According to reason, it should hate him since he had attacked it. So why wasn’t he the first one to die? Could it be because he was a divine hunter?

Strong mental willpower and resistance to curses?

Or perhaps its killing method takes time to take effect? The longer the time, the greater the power?

But regardless of the answer, he didn’t have much time left. This second corpse quickly dehydrated and turned into a mummy-like state.

Lin Baici looked at him and pondered for a moment. Then he took out the butcher mask and gluttony apron from the black altar bowl. “Yingzhen, lend me the dagger!”

Lin Baici squatted next to the corpse and put on a pair of surgical gloves. “What are you going to do?”

Cai Wenqi also approached. “I can help!” “Dissect him!”

After Lin Baici finished speaking, he opened the man’s shirt and stabbed the dagger into his chest, making a forceful cut. Sizzle!

The man’s chest was cut open, but because he had turned into a mummy, not much blood flowed out.

Lin Baici grabbed the ribs of the corpse with both hands and pulled forcefully to the left and right, exposing the chest cavity, a messy tangle of various organs.

Cai Wenqi looked at it and felt nauseous. “Ugh!”

Cai Wenqi turned her head and vomited out the breakfast she had eaten earlier.

Many people had gathered to see what Lin Baici was going to do, but this scene directly scared them pale.

Hua Yueyu and Jin Yingzhen were also uncomfortable, but they still held on and squatted beside them. “We don’t need your help!”

The effect of the butcher mask was activated, and Lin Baici’s hands immediately became skillful, as if he had long reached the realm of a master chef who could dissect a cow effortlessly.

Lin Baici wanted to examine the body of the mummy thoroughly. If there were no external injuries, it would indicate that it was indeed the power of the curse.

This was troublesome.

He could only go and attack that golden mask.

When Lin Baici had dissected about half of the mummy’s organs, another man suddenly died, this time a young man.

He fell to the ground without any warning.

Lin Baici glanced at him and continued his examination.

He could remain calm, but the others couldn’t.

“Damn, what the hell is going on? How did they die?” A middle-aged man was extremely irritable.

His wife didn’t let him go fishing, so he came to see the exhibition to pass the time. Who knew he would encounter something like this.

“I’m really fucking unlucky. Let me go fishing, and I end up in this situation?”

The middle-aged man cursed and complained. He didn’t dare to attack the strong man, nor did he want to stay here waiting to die, so he called everyone.

“Let’s go, let’s leave this place!”He was not stupid and worried that walking alone would make him a target, so he prepared to call more people. More than a dozen people responded, after all, this seemed to be the only way.

“Don’t hesitate, let’s escape together!” the middle-aged man called out.

“Let’s go, let’s go!”

“Those who stay will definitely die, why are you still standing there?”

The crowd clamored, partly to incite more people and partly to boost their own courage. “Lin Baici, let’s go too,” Cai Wenqi persuaded.

“We can’t escape the contamination of the rules, it’s impossible to leave!”

After dissecting the body, Lin Baici found nothing unusual except that it looked like a dried corpse with no injuries, just the power of the curse.

The Baihe Dolphin and the Red Fin Whale exchanged glances.

Even if they were going to leave, everyone’s behavior at this moment was different.

Some people hesitated and fell behind, making it easier for them to change their minds in time. Most people followed the crowd, controlling their pace, neither fast nor slow. Only a few with low intelligence were fooled and hurriedly walked, wanting to leave this place quickly.

But they didn’t wait for them to go far.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

Three more people fell to the ground in succession.

This scene directly frightened everyone, freezing them in place. “Can’t we really leave?”

The middle-aged man was on the verge of tears. He wanted to go fishing. At least let him fish one more time before he died. [Your thinking is correct!]

The Devouring God suddenly spoke.

[The closer you are to it, the later you will be eaten!] Lin Baici frowned. What did the Devouring God mean by this? The closer I am, the safer I am?

Is it because I am a Divine Hunter? And it said “eaten”?

Then it’s not the power of the curse?

But why didn’t I find anything when I dissected a body?

Could it be that I dissected it too late and the monster that “eats” them had already disappeared?

Lin Baici decided that next time he would choose someone who had just died, before the body dried up, to complete the dissection. “All… all the dead are men, are women safe?”

The girl with permed hair’s voice trembled, as if she had discovered a new continent. But in the next moment, a girl in her twenties fell to the ground and stopped breathing.

Lin Baici immediately rushed over, pulled open her shirt, tore off her bra, and then used the cursed dagger to cut open her chest.

Because Lin Baici’s movements were fast enough this time, the body hadn’t dried up yet, so blood flowed out, sliding over the delicate skin.

The Baihe Dolphin leaned over behind the girl in red. “What do you think of his approach to solving the problem?” “It’s unique!”

The girl in red whispered, “If it were me, I would attack that strong man, kill him first, and then let others hold the masks to see if the curse can be lifted.”

The Baihe Dolphin nodded. They, as Divine Hunters, were more inclined to use cannon fodder. “Let’s wait and see!”

The girl in red didn’t know if Lin Baici could successfully purify this contamination of the rules, but his calm expression made people inexplicably reassured.

And he’s quite handsome too! The girl in red sighed. It’s a pity! We’re enemies! “Hmm?”

Lin Baici saw that most of the blood was flowing towards the lower part of the liver, so he immediately used the dagger to push aside the liver and found that a lot of blood had flowed into the intestines.

He hesitated for a moment, worried that it would be dangerous to touch the “monster” with his bare hands, but the opportunity was fleeting. He still took a bold move and immediately reached out and grabbed a handful of intestines, then shook it forcefully.

Swish!

Some bodily fluids and blood splattered.

Lin Baici quickly waved the dagger, cutting off the intestines and throwing them on the ground. There was a small section that was obviously more swollen than other parts, like a baby’s little fist.

“This is it!” Lin Baici’s eyes lit up.

This swollen part was moving rapidly along the intestines.

Lin Baici quickly tied knots at both ends of the intestines, trapping it.

After the swollen part reached the location of the knots, it couldn’t move anymore. After a few seconds, it burst open, and a bug the size of a chestnut crawled out.

It was covered in blood and left a trail on the ground as it crawled away. “What the f*ck, a dung beetle?” the girl with permed hair screamed.

“In ancient Egypt, this thing is called a scarab beetle!”

Jin Yingzhen looked at the bug. It was black and purple. After leaving the body, it seemed to be in a panic and was crawling towards Lin Baici, who was closest to it, obviously wanting to quickly enter a human body.

“Be careful, Oppa!” Jin Yingzhen quickly reminded.

“I didn’t expect him to really find it?” Baihe Dolphin was shocked.

“You stay hidden, I’ll go!”

The girl in red immediately ran towards Lin Baici, grabbing the permed hair girl’s curly hair in the process. “Ah? What are you doing? It hurts, let go!”

The permed hair girl screamed, trying to grab the girl in red’s wrist with one hand and her face with the other, but the girl in red was a key member of the Lost Coast.

Don’t even mention an ordinary person like the permed-haired woman, even an average deity hunter wouldn’t be her match. The woman in red waved her hand!

Smack! Smack!

Two solid slaps landed on the permed-haired woman’s face, the force so great that it dislocated her jaw.

Lin Baici looked over.

“I am a deity hunter, I’ll use this woman to test this scarab!”

The woman in red introduced herself as she threw the permed-haired woman towards the scarab, clearly intending for the scarab to enter her body.

The color drained from the permed-haired woman’s face, turning it pale. “There’s no point in doing this!”

Lin Baici didn’t help the permed-haired woman, because their accusations against him earlier had disappointed him. And this woman, didn’t you say I didn’t save you?

Fine! Then I won’t save you.

The permed-haired woman fell to the ground, scrambling with her hands and feet, but the scarab moved faster than her, directly climbing onto her body.

“Ugh…”

The permed-haired woman looked at Lin Baici, wanting to call for help, but her dislocated jaw prevented her from making a sound. Moreover, her wide-open mouth made it easy for the scarab to crawl in.

“Ugh!”

The permed-haired woman dry heaved, reaching her right hand into her throat, trying to pull out the terrifying bug. Jin Yingzhen and Hua Yueyu watched the woman in the red coat, their eyes wary.

The others didn’t care, they were all watching the permed-haired woman, no one saved her, they all wanted to know if it was this kind of bug that caused the sudden deaths.

The permed-haired woman didn’t spit out the bug, her whole body shaking with fear, tears streaming down her face. She lunged at Lin Baici, begging for his help.

At this moment, she regretted her earlier attitude towards Lin Baici. But it was too late for her.

Thud!

The permed-haired woman fell to the ground, visibly dehydrating and shriveling up, turning into a mummified corpse.

Lin Baici watched all this, and after the permed-haired woman had completely dried up, he immediately squatted down, tore off her clothes, and began to dissect her.

“The bug is gone?” The woman in red was surprised. “Hmm!” Lin Baici looked at the muscular man, “Can his golden mask control these bugs? When did these bugs enter the bodies of these dead people?”

The sales guy was puzzled, “Such a big bug, even a fool should be able to notice it, right?” “Yueyu, do you remember scratching your back about ten minutes ago?”

Lin Baici asked, “What did you feel then?” The female anchor recalled, “I didn’t feel anything!”

Lin Baici looked at the woman in red. “I didn’t feel anything either!” The woman in red pouted.

“Could it be that the beam of light brought these bugs into our bodies?”

Jin Yingzhen remembered the beam of light shot from the eyes of the golden mask, which had affected everyone.
