Chapter 219 European Extraordinary Organization (please vote for me)
Late at night, in the suburbs of London.
An underground space was quietly uncovered.
Due to the advancement of subway construction, the engineering team accidentally discovered a large tomb during excavation.
Although the city government tried to keep it secret, the densely packed coffins in the tomb and the mysterious carvings on the coffins inevitably attracted the attention of the outside world and even attracted the attention of a European mysterious organization.
In the underground tomb at this time, three young people, two men and one woman, were holding various instruments and carefully scanning the patterns on each coffin, trying to uncover the identity of the tomb owner and the year of burial.
"Obviously"
One of the girls has a face that is somewhat similar to Heather in the museum, and the curves of her chest are equally eye-catching. She was looking at the clear pattern scanned by the instrument attentively. She put her finger gently on her chin and said with certainty: "This is a typical St. George cross carving. This must be the resting place of a certain leader of the Crusaders."
She gently stroked the coffin, glanced at the thousands of coffins around her that were carved with the same pattern, and said with emotion: "Moreover, judging from the scale of the tomb, the status of this Crusader leader must be extremely prominent. "
The tall boy standing next to her nodded slightly, then suddenly took off his glasses, revealing his unique one-eyed face, and began to look around carefully.
After a moment, he bit his lips lightly, with a puzzled look on his face: "Anna is right, this is indeed the tomb of the Crusaders. But the strange thing is that the Crusader tombs we have discovered in Europe in the past are all filled with a heavy tomb of the Crusaders. The holy atmosphere of the church, and here."
The one-eyed boy's expression became solemn: "I feel an unsettling breath of death that does not belong to the Holy See."
That's right. , these two young people are the descendants of the gods who had an encounter with Rango on the mysterious island - Annabeth, the descendant of Athena, and Tyson, the descendant of the Cyclops.
Compared with the youthfulness they had when they were on the mysterious island, their faces now look more calm and weathered, and their clothes are also very uniform, obviously the uniforms of a certain organization.
"Does this have nothing to do with the Holy See?" Another boy who looked like an ordinary teenager asked curiously, "Could it be that the guys buried here are descendants of gods like us? That smell of death. Couldn't he be Pluto's child?"
"."
Annabeth glanced at the guy who was talking as if he was a fool, and Tyson smiled bitterly and explained: "Percy, If there is really a descendant of Pluto buried here, then he would have transcended life and death and would not be lying here."
"." Percy shrugged, as if he was not convinced by this explanation. He cared too much and continued to look around aimlessly.
Seeing Percy's appearance, Anna and Tyson exchanged helpless looks, each feeling tired.
Six months ago, these descendants of the gods ended their experience in the demigod camp on the mysterious island, returned to human society one after another, and joined the mysterious organization from Europe - [Pantheon].
This organization has similar responsibilities to the [Woodhouse] in North America, and is mainly responsible for monitoring and solving various extraordinary events that occur on the European continent.
But unlike [Woodhouse], except for a few civilian technicians, the members of [Pantheon] are almost all descendants of the ancient Greek Olympus pantheon.
These descendants of gods with divine blood flowing in their bodies, although they are still young, have become an important force in maintaining peace in Europe by virtue of their innate divine power.
As tacit partners, Annabeth and Tyson have worked together to resolve many turmoils caused by dark creatures.
Not long ago, their two-person team welcomed a new member—Percy Jackson, who is rumored to be a descendant of Poseidon, the King of the Sea.
However, despite fighting side by side for many days, neither Annabeth nor Tyson have ever seen Percy display any supernatural powers related to Aquaman.
"Tyson, go find the source of that breath of death."
Annabeth shook her head, and then continued to assign tasks, "Percy, you...you go outside to guard. Well, if anyone approaches, remember to reveal your identity to avoid unnecessary trouble.”
Hearing this, Percy had a look of displeasure on his face: “Why am I the one responsible for guarding you?”
He was about to argue, but when he saw Annabeth's cold blue eyes, he swallowed the words that came to his lips.
As a partner, he knows better than anyone how terrifying this outstanding-looking and hot-tempered woman can be when she gets angry. Therefore, even if he is dissatisfied, he can only curl his lips and obediently walk outside the tomb to perform tasks for his partners. Wind mission.
At the same time, on the ground not far from the tomb, a rapid sound of birdsong suddenly came from the dark forest.
Flocks of birds seemed to be greatly frightened, flapping their wings and fleeing towards the sky.
"Crunch..."
A naked woman with mysterious runes tattooed all over her body casually grabbed a frightened bird, stuffed it directly into her mouth and chewed it alive.
Blood slowly flowed from the corners of her mouth, adding a bit of ferocity to her already weird face.
After she swallowed the bird meat with enjoyment, she felt the breath of the death gem coming from not far away, and slowly opened her arms to determine her location.
Then she roared forward suddenly!
The next second, the bandaged mummies following her were like awakened beasts, getting down on all fours, with bloodthirsty light shining in their eyes, running towards the distance!
In the dark catacombs.
Annabeth and Tyson were checking each coffin one by one, but apart from the mountains of bones, they didn't find any otherworldly items.
Just when the two of them were disappointed, Tyson's eyes suddenly fixed on the wall in front of them. It is engraved with a series of vivid pictures depicting the Crusades, among which the image of the pyramids is particularly eye-catching.
He asked curiously: "Did the Crusades ever reach Egypt?"
Annabeth frowned slightly, thought for a moment and nodded: "It seems so. "
She immediately walked to Tyson and looked at the mural that recorded the Crusaders' conquest of Egypt.
In the picture, the soldiers wearing cross armor are invincible, and the Egyptian people kneel at the feet of a general.
Later, after the general entered a pyramid, he took a red gem as a trophy.
The mural also depicts a disturbing scene: shortly after obtaining the gem, the general and his soldiers died violently in the next few days. Seeing this, the other leaders of the Crusaders took all the bodies back to London in huge carriages and buried them together with the gem in this tomb.
Annabeth frowned after reading it. Just from the description on the mural, she could feel the ominous atmosphere exuding from the gem.
What the hell is this?
Tyson on the side seemed to have thought of something. He put his ear against the stone wall, then raised his hand and knocked a few times. After hearing the hollow echo from inside, he looked at Anna excitedly.
No wonder I didn’t find any extraordinary items. It turns out there is a tomb behind the wall!
Without Tyson’s reminder, Anna’s palm flashed with light, and then a golden sword appeared in her hand. She slashed with her sword, and a huge crack was instantly cut into the thick wall. The crack spread quickly like a spider web.
In the blink of an eye, the wall that originally stood in front of them collapsed and turned into a pile of ruins.
A large coffin suddenly appeared in front of them!
Tyson laughed and stepped forward to lift the lid. Sure enough, above a skeleton that had passed away for thousands of years, a gem shining with red light was strangely suspended in mid-air.
“Gotyou!”
Seeing this, Annabeth quickly took out a high-purity lead box from her bag, put on her gloves and prepared to put the gem Take them in and take them away.
Boom——!
Just when Annabeth was about to touch the gem, a deafening roar suddenly came from outside the tomb.
Then, Percy rushed in from the outside in panic, shouting incoherently: "Quick! Run! A group of monsters broke through the wall and rushed in!"
Anna Beth's eyes suddenly became sharp. She quickly put the gems into the lead box and stuffed them into her backpack. At the same time, she shouted hurriedly: "Let's go!"
The three of them didn't care about staying for a long time. When they needed to take this gem back, they had no intention of fighting with the enemy.
However, before they could get out of the tomb, the surrounding walls were suddenly knocked open, and mummies wrapped in bandages stared at them with twisted limbs, as if they wanted to eat them alive.
Under the vigilant eyes of everyone, the group of mummies seemed to have received some invisible instructions, and they all gave way to a path. Then, a young woman with various strange runes tattooed on her body walked in. tomb.
She has long black hair and deep black pupils, and is thin, but her eyes are as deep as black holes, as if they can swallow all the light in the world.
She tilted her head slightly towards Annabeth, then raised her finger to the leather bag she was carrying, and shouted in a sharp and threatening tone: "Give me back my gem!"< br>
Before he finished speaking, the army of mummies who had been waiting around seemed to have received the order, and instantly pounced on them like hounds.
Faced with this sudden attack, Annabeth and Tyson simultaneously emitted a dazzling golden halo. Immediately afterwards, their bodies were covered with a layer of armor full of ancient Greek style, and their hands also He tightened his grip on the weapon.
Tyson held a huge battle ax and cut the mummies rushing in front of him into two pieces with a single sweep. The giant ax danced like a living thing in his hand, and wherever it passed, the mummies turned into broken bones.
However, these mummies seemed to be unaware of the pain and continued to flow towards Anna and others under the gaze of the tattooed woman.
“Get out of the way——”
Annabeth shouted and pushed Tyson away. She was wearing gold and red armor, holding a shield in her left hand and a sword in her right hand, like A heroic Valkyrie stood in front of everyone.
Just when the mummies were about to touch her, she swung her sword and hit the shield in her left hand hard.
Boom——!
A golden halo exploded instantly, illuminating the entire tomb like a scorching sun, rapidly spreading out in all directions with her as the center.
The mummies who were exposed to the golden light let out shrill wails one after another, and then turned into charcoal and scattered on the ground.
Both Tyson and Percy looked at this scene with awe and envy.
Although Tyson, as a descendant of Cyclops, possesses powerful strength, physical strength and extraordinary perception, he still seems to be dwarfed by Annabeth, a descendant of Athena.
As for Percy, he has not been able to awaken his own divine power so far, and he can only watch from the sidelines.
At this time, Anna hit the shield heavily several times in a row, shocking the remaining mummies into retreating.
After snorting coldly, she ignored the other party's situation and winked at Tyson and Percy, then hurriedly left the tomb.
Not long after they left, after the golden light that filled the entire tomb dissipated, only the lonely figure of the tattooed woman remained in the space that was originally crowded with mummies.
She looked directly at the direction Anna and others left without any damage. She did not rush to pursue them, but looked down at the mummy's men who had been burnt to charcoal by the holy light.
Then, she glanced at the thousands of coffins in the tomb, opened her lips slightly, and recited a series of ancient and obscure spells.
The next second, the lids of the coffins were lifted off by an invisible force, and the corpses of the Crusaders crawling out with only skeletons left, kneeling down on one knee towards the woman in the middle. .
"Catch them and get back the gems."
With her order, many skeleton monsters rushed out of the tomb with strange roars.
On the ground.
After experiencing a thrilling adventure in the tomb, Anna and her group finally escaped successfully and found a car parked not far away. They quickly got in the car and prepared to evacuate this dangerous place.
Percy sat on the car seat in front, stuck his head out, and shouted with unfinished content: "We should really catch them all there! Did you see it? Those guys are not human at all!"
"No, we have to go back to headquarters first."
Annabeth's voice was calm and firm. She concentrated on starting the car, turning the steering wheel skillfully, and then stepped on the accelerator, the vehicle roared. Driving away from the place.
Tyson on the side patiently explained: "The energy in that gem is too weird. The tattooed woman just came here obviously for it. We have remembered her appearance, and the most important thing now is It's about placing the gems in a safe place. After that, we have enough time to deal with these monsters slowly."
" Okay." Upon hearing this, Percy shook his head dissatisfied and frowned. . He didn't like the feeling of being able to just watch and not be able to personally participate in the battle, which made him feel very frustrated.
Whoosh!
At this moment, danger comes again!
“Be careful——”
A huge fireball suddenly roared out of the woods and headed straight for their car!
With quick eyesight and quick hands, Anna turned the steering wheel suddenly, and the car narrowly avoided the fireball. However, before they could breathe a sigh of relief, a harsh sound of a chainsaw was heard. Immediately afterwards, countless bullets were fired at their tires like dense raindrops!
The tires burst instantly and the car lost control, like an out-of-control wild horse, crazily crashing into a tree trunk on the side!
With a loud noise, the car stopped, and the body of the car was severely deformed due to the impact.
Then, three short figures slowly walked out of the darkness.
