Infinity: 223 The Curse Behind .
🕑 Added 2025-09-18 02:08:22 +0000 UTCIn the story, the dust that erupted after the urn was opened was the curse. Four cowboys were cursed, and the resurrected High Priest Immertep would absorb their flesh and blood to nourish his own body, then become flesh and blood again.
However, with the blessing of flesh and blood and the protection of his magical powers, he was essentially immortal, and his strength multiplied many times over. Unless he fell into Hell, he would not die. Only when someone recited a spell, his resentment would be activated, and he would be resurrected.
The insect-eaten torture brought him endless agony, but it also forged his unwavering will, strengthened his soul, and further enhanced his magical powers. It was all worth it, the only pain being that the insect-eaten torture nearly drove him insane. He could clearly feel the insects devouring his penis, eyes, and brain bit by bit.
The next second, the cowboy turned and fired again, again in vain, unable to tell what he hit. Soon, his bullets were exhausted. He suspected some foul creature was following him, but he couldn't find it.
He felt a chill on his back, sweat dripping down his face. He turned abruptly, only to scream in fear. He saw a skeleton, a mere shell, wounded and wrapped in tattered bandages. The stench of decay permeated the air, making it incredibly terrifying at first glance.
The mummy screamed, gouged out the cowboy's eyes, and placed them in its own empty sockets. The next second, the eyes moved a few times, and became his own.
The cowboy, his eyes gouged out, screamed and retreated, only for the mummy to grab his hands again and rip out his tongue. It then pressed into his mouth, where it moved a few times before quickly returning to its own tongue. Unable to
even scream, the cowboy, his eyes and tongue ripped out, could only crawl aimlessly along the ground. Soon, a sporadic sound could be heard, and a swarm of beetles scurried out from the ground and devoured the cowboy. He convulsed in agony. Numerous swellings and moving pustules could be seen on his skin, filled with frantic, bloodthirsty beetles wriggling and devouring his flesh. The pain of being devoured by flesh and blood was truly unbearable.
After this, the mummy gazed at the cowboy, engulfed by the swarm of insects, and sneered.
A beetle quickly crawled onto his foot and scurried upwards, seemingly seeking to devour the few remaining pieces of flesh. The mummy then bit the beetle, chewing it twice before devouring it, replenishing its energy.
After feasting, he instead began to hunt the beetles. The beetles that had once caused him endless pain had gnawed even his bones. Now it was time to pay him back for that suffering.
Affected by the hunt, the beetles fled in large numbers, refusing to stay, fearing they would be eaten as well.
As the swarm of insects retreated, the cowboy was left with only a pile of bones, streaked with uneaten strands of meat, a truly disgusting and gruesome sight.
The mummy was none other than the resurrected High Priest Immertep, and he sensed something was amiss. It was as if he had been cheated on. As expected, men who cheat on others must be wary of being cheated on themselves one day.
With a wave of his hand, the tomb gates swung open. At that moment, more than a dozen Reincarnators rushed in, armed with Gatling guns, and unleashed a barrage of fire on Immertep. Killing the boss would complete the mission. Furthermore, defeating the boss would bring rich rewards. As the saying goes, alcohol makes cowards brave. As long as there is enough benefit, people will take risks in anything.
It was true, but why did it sound strange?
The sound of machine gunfire rang out continuously. Ten heavy machine guns fired simultaneously, barely emitting a blue glow.
Bullets pelted the mummy, repeatedly breaking its bones. The powerful impact left it powerless to fight back, and it was hurled against the wall. It continued to tremble, its bones tumbling. It seemed that if it continued, it would be completely destroyed!
Then, a leading team leader pulled out a Molotov cocktail and hurled it directly at Immertepu. Bang! The Molotov cocktail burst into flames. The unique napalm couldn't be washed off even by water. Once it stuck, the only option was to wait for the flames to burn out, or face death.
As the mummy's health steadily dwindled, the entire squad became even more serious, not letting up.
"Roar!" the burning mummy roared in anger, then burrowed into the ground, using the sand's properties to completely clear the air. Without oxygen, fire can't burn. This is basic common sense.
However, even after burrowing underground, Immertepp remained unable to reach the burning flames, the napalm already clinging to his bones. The near-1,000-degree heat caused him to let out a agonizing cry, and he plunged headfirst into the scarab nest, carrying the flames with him to the man-eating scarabs.
Immediately, a swarm of scarabs erupted in violence, dragging the bloated queen away. Immertepp seized the queen and, unbothered by the nausea, devoured her corpse, converting it into energy to ward off the flames.
Seeing this, the Reincarnators on the ground, led by their captain, quickly retreated to the periphery, not taking advantage of Immertepp's injury to pursue him. After all, this was the enemy's home turf, not suitable for a fight. This was likely just a test, a way to gauge their strength and prepare for the next hunt!
Chen Luo entered the tomb from a different direction, perfectly avoiding the others. When he arrived, he saw another reincarnator, also using stealth, entering the tomb. This reincarnator had smuggled himself into the mummy world. He was holding up a pitch-black book, made of pure gold. It was the famous Black Book of the Dead. It contained numerous spells of the undead, which, if deciphered, could be highly valuable. Furthermore, it could not be obtained or learned through ordinary means, requiring only stealth.
