Chapter 541
"If the undead creatures only operate near the pyramids, how do they attack the city? Don't tell me this city was built near the pyramids," Mo Fan said.
"The Egyptians weren't that stupid. By modern times, all the cities had moved out of the pyramid area."
"Normally, Egyptians don't encounter attacks from the undead, except for families and sorcerers who break into the pyramid territory to search for the pharaohs' burial treasures!" Jiang Shaoxu said.
"How did the undead creature leave the pyramid area?" Mo Fan asked.
"Under normal circumstances, the undead cannot leave the pyramid territory, but in certain special circumstances, they can still leave, such as mirages," Jiang Yu said.
"A mirage?" Mo Fan asked uncertainly again.
"Yes, a mirage is actually an illusion that appears in another place due to the refraction of light from one place. This is also why the dead sometimes appear near cities," Jiang Han said.
After chatting for a while, the group headed towards Nancheng Mountain behind the white tent venue. There was a tall watchtower on Nancheng Mountain, from which they could clearly see the situation outside the city. Upon arriving at the watchtower, two guard mages immediately blocked their way.
After confirming their identities as members of the National Government team, the two guarding mages hurriedly let them go up, fearing that they would be punished by the higher-ups for delaying their training mission.
The top of the watchtower offers the widest view of Puchini, overlooking the wilderness on the outskirts of the city, where rolling hills rise and fall, and among those hills stands a golden building that shines with a unique light.
The sun was shining brightly, and the sunlight falling on the city walls was warm and comfortable. But for some reason, when the sunlight fell on the pyramid area, it revealed an eerie and cold feeling, as if the sunlight itself had become desolate and eerily purple because of the presence of the pyramids.
The pyramids are magnificent, step-by-step stone structures over fifty meters high, giving one a sense of oppressive power that could accommodate thousands of troops.
Compared to the pyramids, Pushkin appears so small and vulnerable!
"Is that a projection of the pyramid?" Mo Fan asked, pointing to the eerie pyramid.
"Yes, because the undead creatures can't distinguish between real and fake pyramids, they treat humans who appear in the pyramid's territory as intruders. The most troublesome thing is that Pushkin happens to be in the territory of the pyramid projection," Jiang Yu nodded and said.
"In the eyes of those spirits of the dead, not destroying this city and not slaughtering all humanity would be a desecration of the pharaoh who sleeps in the pyramids!"
"Every time a mirage appears, it means a war between the living and the dead has broken out. Moreover, each mirage lasts for a long time. It's okay if only one appears, but if several pyramids are miraged, especially in relatively close locations, then it won't be long before that city disappears from the world," Jiang Shaoxu said seriously.
"I remember that the pyramids are divided into different levels. Judging from its size, the pyramid outside the city is just an ordinary pyramid," Jiang Han suddenly said.
"This thing even has different levels?" Mo Fan said with some surprise.
"Of course, there are about 93 pyramids in Egypt, but they vary in size. The smaller pyramids can be easily suppressed by a magic guard, and with the help of other countries, the chaos can be quelled quickly. As for the largest pyramid, the Great Pyramid of Giza, it is comparable to a demon empire," Jiang Yu said.
After learning about the pyramids, the group strolled around the watchtower before returning to their camp. During this time, their mentor finally sent them the mission details for this training exercise.
"Currently, the biggest threat to the city guard is that group of Poisonous Golden Mummies. The injuries caused by the Poisonous Golden Mummies are very difficult to heal, and there are only a few people sent from the Parthenon Temple who have mastered top-notch healing techniques. There are so many wounded, but very few healing mages. That's why we have this training mission to deal with the Poisonous Golden Mummies." After returning to the camp, Nan Yu said seriously.
"Dealing with the Poisonous Golden Mummy is such a dangerous mission, what were the instructors thinking?" Mu Yingting said with dissatisfaction.
"There's nothing we can do, mainly because the city guards don't have any extra manpower," Ai Jiangtu said.
"They're just a bunch of poisonous golden mummies, what's there to be afraid of?"
"If you ask me, we should capture the leader first. As long as someone takes down the leader of the Poisonous Golden Mummies, then the rest of the Poisonous Golden Mummies will be at our mercy," Mo Fan said.
Although Mo Fan didn't say who would go, everyone else couldn't help but think of Jiang Han. There was no way around it; the terrifying combat power Jiang Han had displayed recently had left them far behind. As long as Jiang Han was there, dealing with a commander-level Poison Gold Mummy clan would be a piece of cake!
The tense atmosphere vanished instantly, replaced by excitement and anticipation for the next day's mission.
······
At dawn, when it was just getting light, Jiang Han and the others arrived early at the square in the west of the city to gather. Besides them, there were also a large number of mages dressed in guard uniforms.
These guard mages were sent by the city to escort them. The commander of the team, Fenner, was a woman over forty years old. Although she did not have the gentleness and charm of ordinary women, she possessed a seasoned and sharp ability that was not something that ordinary women could have.

"You just need to follow the group. Once we reach the area where the Poisonous Golden Mummies are active, those Poisonous Golden Mummies will be yours to deal with," Fenner said solemnly.
"No problem," Ai Jiangtu replied without hesitation.
The entire team then set off for Camp One, five kilometers away, to relieve the guard mages on duty and charge up the high slope fifteen kilometers away. Behind the high slope was the National Government team's target: the Poison Gold Mummy Clan!
Once they crossed the dusty hillside, they saw a patch of golden green that shimmered in the sunlight.
Upon closer inspection, one would discover that what was reflecting the sunlight was the skin of the Poison Gold Mummy. The strange group of mummies lay behind the hill, almost completely covering the slope. (End of Chapter)
