Chapter 93 The Pyramid of Khafre
These people looked at the outsiders with excitement when they saw them.
Just as an elderly man was about to speak, Wang Mian swiftly pulled out a translator and quickly switched it to Arabic.
This is a real-time voice translator that includes the languages of most human races on Earth a century ago.
"Are you messengers of the gods? Did the sun god discover that we were about to die and send you to save us?"
"You can understand it this way: what happened here, and why do we need to rescue them?"
“We have been protected by the gods and have always lived in this oasis. The high priest and the sacred beast have always taken care of us, but two years ago the high priest suddenly fell ill, and now the oasis is becoming increasingly scarce in water and food.”
The sacred beast is growing weaker day by day. If the gods do not appear soon, we will all die after the sacred beast dies.
The old man sighed, gazed at the sun in the void, and slowly shed two lines of turbid tears.
"Take us to see your sacred beast!"
Ling Yunxiao's voice was indifferent. This is the human enclosure where the Sun God herds. The so-called sacrificial beasts should only be supervising and managing things here. How could their life and death be related to the life and death of the human race within the human enclosure?
As soon as Ling Yunxiao finished speaking, a look of surprise appeared on the old man's face. The people from the nearby tribes, hearing Ling Yunxiao's words, also thought he was going to rescue the sacred beast and cheered.
Soon, a tall, thin child was pushed in front of Ling Yunxiao.
“Divine messenger, this is Ahmed. He should still have the strength to lead you to find the sacred beast. The old man is truly exhausted. I wish you a safe journey.”
Ling Yunxiao nodded. Although they still had food, they knew that now was not the time to take it out.
Si Xiaonan hesitated, but ultimately did not leave immediately.
She stood still, her hands slowly reaching into the void. Leng Xuan immediately realized what she was about to do and cooperated by unleashing his divine domain. A dark cloud quickly gathered in the sky. After Leng Xuan dispersed his divine domain, Si Xiaonan's fingertips moved rapidly, as if she were playing a beautiful piano piece.
Gradually, light rain began to fall. As Si Xiaonan began to move, the people who had been looking up at the sky could clearly see the rain. They cheered and knelt down in front of Si Xiaonan. Some were laughing, and some were crying.
The rain continued to fall, and Si Xiaonan had already left with Ling Yunxiao and the others.
The group thought the sacred beast was far away, but Ahmed led them for more than an hour before kneeling devoutly in the desert not far from the edge of the oasis.
"Lord Holy Beast, a divine messenger has arrived."
"Ha... there's no such thing as a divine messenger... Little Ahmed, go back to the village! I'll take care of these guests."
A hoarse, low laugh rang out, and a winged monster with the head of a goat and the body of a lion gradually emerged from the yellow sand. The monster laboriously flapped its wings, and a gentle breeze blew, carrying Ahmed back to the oasis.
It then realized that it seemed to be raining in the oasis. It stared at the raindrops, its eyes reddening.
"Aman Sphinx..."
The king frowned, recognizing the sacred beast from Egyptian mythology before him.
Aman finally withdrew his gaze and looked at the people in front of him who called themselves divine messengers. His gaze swept over Ling Yunxiao and Wang Mian, and landed on the three gods Yang Jian, Si Xiaonan, and Leng Xuan. His eyes were full of shock and despair.
"The Sun God's final decision was to abandon saving this place. Is he now selling us to Asgard and Great Xia? Does Great Xia also need human settlements?"
"Uh... In our Great Xia, there shouldn't be any human circles. Because, as a Great Xia person, I don't even know what you mean by human circles."
Ling Yunxiao shrugged, confirming that the sadness and pity in Aman's eyes were genuine. With a wave of his hand, he wrote the character "heal" and placed it on the lion-bodied, sheep-headed beast.
Aman felt a warm current surge through him, replenishing his withered spirit and life force.
"Ugh……
The so-called "human circle" refers to the remaining population after the sun god sacrificed himself to the people, because their divine status still required the power of faith to mobilize the power of laws. Therefore, they designated a pure land for the people to live in.
However, they never considered how the people should live. If they had followed their ideas, the people here would have been kept like pigs and dogs, with little food and water, and would probably have died out long ago.
"Hafra and I abandoned the power of the laws to enter this place, hoping that the people could survive in the desert."
At this point, Aman sighed. Having regained some of its abilities, it waved its paw towards the depths of the desert. From beneath the yellow sand, a sleeping old man quickly emerged.
"This is Haffra. Two years ago, when his divine power was exhausted and he was about to die, he betrayed us. He secretly planned to sacrifice half of the oasis and the population here in order to seek the protection of the sun god."
Unfortunately, just as he was putting his plan into action, he suddenly went insane, whether due to inner remorse or some other reason.
Although this place wasn't sacrificed by him, the sun god demanded more and more faith, and my divine power was gradually failing to sustain this oasis. Therefore, when you arrived here, I was nearing death, and the oasis was about to wither away.”
Why didn't he die?
Ling Yunxiao looked at the sleeping old man with great confusion. Beyond the Great Xia, there were still some benevolent gods who already knew about this. Why had Hafula suddenly changed? Perhaps it wasn't because her divine power was depleted and she was facing death, but rather because she had been corrupted after losing her divine power.
"After he went mad, he actually regained some of his divine powers. In his occasional moments of lucidity, he would bring rain to the oasis and cultivate crops. So, perhaps it is the people's faith that has sustained him until now!"
Oman was also unsure of the specific reason and could only guess in his answer.
After thinking for a moment, Ling Yunxiao decided to use the Healing Technique on Hafula, at least to wake her up first.
The golden light of the Healing Technique flowed slowly across the ground, and Hafula, who was sleeping on the ground, suddenly sat up. After opening his eyes, he suddenly grinned and stood up.
"SpongeBob, let's go catch jellyfish!"
