Chapter 167 Charging into the Mummy's Camp
Chapter 167 Charging into the Mummy's Camp
The following day, at dawn, a military mages unit assembled in the west of the city and headed towards the so-called mirage pyramid.
The Huaxia National Government team, which came to provide support, was naturally assigned to the inner team, and they also met Staff Officer Fenner, who was in charge of this mission.
A seasoned woman, exuding competence and sharpness, and over forty years old.
"You will follow the group. The Poison Gold Mummy is your responsibility," said Staff Officer Fenner, his face bearing a stern expression.
"We will do our best," Nan Jue said.
Following the group forward, having already undergone a cleanup, there weren't many undead left, and they quickly reached the camp five kilometers away.
Then the second wave of troops arrived, and the entire army advancing on the mirage pyramid continued forward.
Their target was a high slope 15 kilometers from the pyramids; only by taking that spot could they continue their advance.
"On the back side of the high slope, there is a group of poisonous golden mummies. They are masters of poison and quite despicable. They always hide behind other mountains of corpses and poison people without anyone knowing, making them impossible to guard against."
"The army will attack the high ground from the front and establish a defensive perimeter there. Our mission is to get to the rear of the high ground first and hold off the group of poisonous golden mummies until the main force establishes the defensive perimeter. Once that's done, our mission will be complete." Nan Jue explained the mission and the danger of the enemy to everyone again.
After all, there were a few unruly guys in the Nationalist team, and she didn't want them to lose their lives because of their momentary bravado. After all, this was a battlefield, and the situation on the battlefield could change in an instant. One wrong move and you could lose your life!
Guan Yu pursed his lips but didn't say anything.
Li Kaifeng glanced at Nan Jue silently, then looked away.
The others didn't say anything. As the main force gradually approached the high ground, the National Government team, under the cover of a group of shadow mages, arrived at the rear of the high ground.
What comes into view is a vast expanse of golden green, which shimmers under the sunlight.
These golden-green things are none other than the Poisonous Gold Skin of the Poisonous Gold Mummy.
The group of poisonous golden mummies were lying peacefully behind the hillside, looking from a distance like they had covered the hillside with golden-green tiles.
Upon closer inspection, there is an indescribable sense of strangeness and horror. The group of motionless poisonous mummies exude a strong, toxic odor that permeates the air.
"Staff officer, can those students handle those terrible things? If they do nothing and we climb up the hill to set up a defensive perimeter, won't many people suffer? I don't think we should entrust such a difficult task to these students," said East Military Commander Wankos.
"Since we've chosen them, we have to trust them." Fenner quickly scanned his surroundings, estimating how many undead would flood in within a minute.
"Then we also need to prepare for the worst. If they still need our rescue, what's the point of calling them here?"
"Are you prejudiced against them?"
"It's not prejudice! What I'm most worried about in this kind of thing is incompetence. So what if they're the National Team? They're just a bunch of greenhorns!" Wankos said aggressively.
"Then that's still prejudice."
"I---"·
Meanwhile, the peacefully sleeping Poisonous Golden Mummies were awakened by Lu Jie and his group. Being extremely grumpy upon waking, they immediately released their intense resentment and deathly aura.
A thick cloud of resentment and deathly aura crashed over us like a raging storm.
"What should we do?" Zhao Manyan felt a chill run down his spine when he saw the group of creatures.
"Let's go!" Mo Fan didn't care about anything else, grabbed his weapon and charged forward.
As expected, these poisonous golden mummies were a group of very cunning poisoners. They would not engage the mages in direct combat, even though their numbers far exceeded those of the National Army team. They stood on the slope and collectively opened their mouths to spew out golden-green poisonous mist.
"Retreat! Retreat! Retreat!" Ai Jiangtu sensed something was wrong and shouted for everyone to retreat quickly.
The poisonous fog is incredibly powerful; no one would risk their life. Wherever the fog passes, plants wither rapidly, demonstrating its terrifying toxicity.
"What did I tell you? Those people are indeed unreliable!" Vankos roared in anger and immediately ordered his men to attack from the flank and rear of the high slope.
Even with a large number of mages, the undead could hardly withstand the magical bombardment, but the arrival of this terrifying poisonous fog made the casualties incalculable.
"Damn, why are these people so impatient!" Zhao Manyan exclaimed upon seeing Wangkos's group.
"They don't believe us!" Mu Tingying's face was pale; she felt very uncomfortable being looked down upon.
"These poisonous fogs are so terrifying, we can't even get close to them! They're going to be enveloped by the poisonous fog!" Jiang Yu shouted.
Upon hearing this, everyone saw that the Poisonous Golden Mummies turned their attention to Wankos and his group, and the poisonous mist they spewed rushed towards them.
"Look at the top, there's a three-eyed poisonous golden mummy!" Jiang Shaoxu suddenly said, pointing to the top.
"This is most likely the leader of the Poisonous Golden Mummy. To catch the thief, catch the leader first. You guys stay here to distract the Poisonous Golden Mummy."
"I'm going with Li Kaifeng to take down that Three-Eyed Poisonous Gold Commander!" Guan Yu said.
Mo Fan and Lu Jie exchanged a glance, and without tacitly summoned the Xuan Snake Armor. The dark blue scales covered their entire bodies, making them look majestic in the sunlight.
"Why are you summoning your armored demonic tools at this time? The battle hasn't even started yet," Zhao Manyan said after seeing this.
"Poison? No living being can compare to this ancestor! Old Lu, follow me and charge into the mummy camp!" Mo Fan took the lead and charged out.
Lu Jie gently patted Mu Nujiao's hand to show her not to worry, and then rushed out as well.
However, Lu Jie's actions were unnecessary. Mu Nujiao knew his strength and was not worried about him.
What she needs to do is protect herself so as not to become a burden or a hindrance.
The two charged into the Poison Gold Mummy's camp, quickly tearing open a gap. They were not afraid of the poisonous mist spewed by the Poison Gold Mummy and moved through it at will. In addition to its impressive defensive capabilities, the Xuan Snake Armor also possessed extremely strong resistance to poison.
Poisonous golden mummies are terrifying to those without poison resistance, but to these two, they're nothing special.
Lu Jie clapped his hands, and the earth trembled. Countless branches as thick as an adult's arm burst out of the ground and quickly bound a large group of poisonous golden mummies.
