Chapter 1552: Full Alert
"But Mr. Chen..." The native was startled, subconsciously wanting to stop Chen Yu, but with a flash of his figure, Chen Yu had already swept several zhang away.
"Full alert. If Mr. Chen is in danger, we will strike immediately," the native hurriedly instructed his few subordinates.
Click—the few men pulled back their gun bolts, watching the front with predatory eyes.
Chen Yu walked to the Secret Realm entrance in this unhurried manner. The moment he appeared, with a click, over ten guns were already pointed at his head.
"Who are you? General Ye'er is conducting business; all unrelated persons must leave," a man who looked like a captain barked in broken Huaxia.
"Don't be nervous, friend," Chen Yu smiled slightly, stopping more than ten meters away from these people. "I definitely have business coming here."
"Get lost," the captain's face was gloomy. "Otherwise, die..."
"Don't you want to ask what business I have coming here?" Chen Yu looked at him with some helplessness and said, "I came to this place, and the business I have to attend to is very simple."
"That is, I simply want your lives."
As soon as Chen Yu's voice fell, killing intent filled his eyes, and vast Primordial Qi centered on him, whistling toward the front.
These twenty-plus well-trained private soldiers holding high-end weapons did not react at all before they were killed on the spot by Chen Yu.
A rain of blood rose, and the surroundings returned to calm, while not even a speck of blood had stained Chen Yu's body.
Except for the captain who understood Huaxia, everyone else had already fallen to the ground.
That captain held his gun tremblingly, pointing it at Chen Yu, but he now had no intention of resisting at all; what he wanted to do more was to drop the gun in his hand and turn to run.
"Where is Ye'er? Did he take people inside?" Chen Yu stared at this black captain and said indifferently.
"He... he has already taken people... inside," the man answered in terror.
"Everything was fine, why come to this place to die?" Chen Yu shook his head slightly, then walked past the black man.
He made no move, just brushed past the black captain, but the moment he brushed past the other, an extremely strong aura locked onto the black man; his body stiffened, and with a thud, he knelt on the ground.
Then he clutched his throat in horror; fresh blood flowed from his throat, and immediately after, he died of breath.
"Mr. Chen..." The native rushed over with his men. Seeing the people here fallen all over the ground, he couldn't help but look full of admiration. "My name is Abao, and I am the person Chief Wang trusts the most. You... are truly amazing."
The things that had happened on Pirate Island these past few days were things Abao would never forget in his life.
The people that Ye'er brought were almost all cold-blooded Demons who didn't blink when killing. They led a wave of fierce attacks, and with the inside help of a traitor, Pirate Island fell instantly.
Because the enemy's combat capability was truly too fierce, so fierce that they had no ability to resist at all.
Originally, he was still considering whether to call the Three Monks to reinforce the enemy and solve the people guarding this cave entrance, but he didn't expect that without him paying attention, these people would all be lying on the ground.
"It's alright, let's go in and take a look," Chen Yu smiled slightly and stepped into the cave.
"Mr. Chen, this cave is the place that leads to the mausoleum. Legend has it that this is the place where a late-era Pharaoh of Egypt was buried." Abao grew up here since he was a child and was very familiar with the myths and legends here.
As he walked, he explained the history and situation of this place to Chen Yu.
"I have a question," Chen Yu said. "Why would an Egyptian Pharaoh be buried here? Shouldn't they be buried inside the pyramids?"
"Many people have asked this question, and some have even specifically done research on it," Abao smiled. "It's just that the era is too distant, so everyone is unclear about how this happened."
"However, according to an old resident on the island, this Pharaoh in this place was not truly buried here, but... sealed."
"Sealed?" Chen Yu was slightly stunned. "What kind of person would need to be sealed in this place?"
"I'm not clear on that, but I heard that this Pharaoh tried to summon some things, and after failing, it caused a huge disaster in Egypt at the time, so he was evil. This place sealed his soul here to prevent him from continuing his plan after resurrection."
"That makes sense," Chen Yu nodded slightly and said. "Normally, Egyptian Pharaohs have strict burial rituals and standards."
"Even in an era when Theocracy was declining, it would be impossible for this Pharaoh to be buried here from thousands of miles away after he died. Since he was buried here, there must be a reason."
"Yes, Mr. Chen, but no one knows the specific reason. I also just heard some hearsay, but after that General Ye'er went in, it is absolutely impossible for him to come out alive," Abao said.
"Why?" Chen Yu was slightly stunned again.
"Because there is a Curse inside," Abao said. "Everyone who goes in must die."
Just as he said this, Chen Yu stopped in his tracks abruptly, because he saw a wisp of black Qi drifting out from inside. This wisp of black Qi scattered onto everyone's body, then exited the cave entrance and spread in all directions.
"Not good, you just said there is a Curse here?" Chen Yu was startled.
"Yes, there is a Curse, what's wrong, Mr. Chen?" Abao was slightly stunned. He also stopped his steps and looked at Chen Yu with some confusion.
"This Curse is real, and someone has triggered the Curse. Now the power of the Curse has already spread in all directions," Chen Yu took a deep breath and said. "It seems today's matter is troublesome."
"Has the Curse spread?" Abao was startled. He stood blankly on the spot, his whole body feeling cold.
He had witnessed the power of a Curse before. A prisoner who came to the island had been placed under a Curse by a Wizard because he had offended the Wizard.
He lay on the island, his whole body festering bit by bit, until he wailed for seven days and seven nights before he died in agony.
When he died, the rotting flesh on his body was already covered in maggots and emitted bursts of foul stench. It was from that time on that Abao kept away from these matters of Curses, because he was afraid that he would also get contaminated by these things.
"If nothing goes wrong, it should have spread," Chen Yu looked at the wisp of Curse power permeating the air. "Do you know what that Curse is? Besides everyone who goes in having to die, what else is there?"
"There is... everyone on the whole island will have to be buried with him; no one can escape," Abao's voice even trembled slightly. He really hadn't expected that the other party would actually trigger the Curse.
