Everyone was stunned by what they saw.
However, the Scotts remained motionless as the swarm of sacred scarabs was approaching.
They seemed to be anticipating something.
Three!
Two!
One!
Just as the sacred scarabs were about to pounce over, a wisp of blue flames suddenly rose from the white powder.
Bang!
After the bright blue flames rose up, they came into contact with the white gas that escaped from the bottle. Surprisingly, the blue flames slowly turned into scarlet red.
Rumble!
In an instant, the searing crimson fire covered the entire passageway, blocking the path between the sacred scarabs and the Scotts.
"Get down!"
Wayne pushed the cameraman to the ground, and then the Scotts fell to the ground too.
The scarlet flames exploded in the middle of the passageway. However, their clothes did not catch fire when the flames passed by them.
After the shock wave completely dispersed, Wayne and the others slowly got up.
When the viewers followed the camera and looked back, they were completely shocked by the scene before them.
What happened?
Everyone was shocked to see that the area that was covered in white powder was now burning with hot red flames.
All the sacred scarabs that passed through the flames were burnt to death, and the king scarabs were blocked outside the flames, unable to pass.
Wayne explained, "This is the effect of phosphorescence and methane."
"What?"
The cameraman was stunned.
Seeing that he did not understand, Wayne continued, "White phosphorus has a very low burning point. It may catch fire even by the flow of air."
"However, the flame temperature is low, so it won't hurt people. But when combined with methane gas, it will cause a huge reaction and produce a fire that is a hundred times higher than ordinary flames. This temperature can instantly melt steel."
"Our clothes contain a special material, the Holy Flame Shroud, which can withstand this kind of high temperature for a short period of time."
Leena nodded. "We are lucky that these sacred scarabs are just bugs. They don't have any intelligence. Otherwise, we wouldn't have been able to attract them here so smoothly."
Gulp.
Hearing this, the cameraman looked at the three of them and then at the raging fire.
He gulped.
The cameraman was deeply impressed.
The netizens watching the live stream also saw it clearly. They could tell that the Scotts were true experts.
"What is the Holy Flame Shroud? It's so powerful that it can withstand a temperature of over a thousand degrees!"
"Holy Flame Shroud, Holy Spirit Stones. They are professional exorcists!"
"Others aside, this chemical reaction alone is impressive. I didn't expect the exorcists to have such advanced knowledge. They know science well!"
"Compared to them, the archaeological team was just a bunch of amateurs!"
"No wonder they didn't bring any other equipment. This method is truly brilliant. They managed to kill all of those sacred scarabs in one fell swoop. I'm so excited right now!"
"Awesome! Awesome! The gravekeeper's Sacred Scarabs and Fire Ladybugs, and the exorcists' Holy Spirit Stones and Holy Flame Shroud. This is indeed eye-opening!"
"I'm dazzled by this. It's wonderful!"
"Hold on. Fire ladybugs are not afraid of fire!"
At this moment, someone suddenly realized that fire ladybugs could not be deterred by fire.
Buzz!
At that moment, they heard a sound from the other side of the wall of flames.
The Scotts were shocked when they heard it.
Crap.
They forgot about fire ladybugs. At that moment, the three of them exchanged glances and saw the helpless look in one another's eyes.
Fire attacks could only fend off sacred scarabs, but they were useless against fire ladybugs.
Initially, they weren't fully convinced, but in the next instant, they had no choice but to believe it.
The swarm of tiny blue bugs flew through the sea of fire unscathed. They flew straight toward them.
There were at least ten thousand of them.
The entire tunnel was blocked by the swarm of bugs.
"Quick, run back the way we came!"
Since they had no countermeasures at the moment, they could only turn around and run in the direction they came from.
After running for a while, they were getting closer to the entrance of the tomb. If they ran for a while longer, they would probably run out of the pyramid.
At this moment, the netizens also started asking questions.
"If they keep running like this, they'll run out of the pyramid soon."
"The gravekeeper is indeed stronger."
"Fire ladybugs are so powerful, even the exorcists can't deal with them!"
Suddenly, the Scotts stopped running as thoughts ran through their minds.
They didn't have any other choice.
They had to run because they would definitely die if they had stayed where they were.
However, if they were to leave just like that, they might not have another chance to enter the pyramid again.
The curse that had plagued the Scotts for centuries had made their people miserable.
It wasn't easy for them to enter the Pyramid of Giza after seeing that glimmer of hope. How could they possibly return home without getting anything?
The Scotts looked conflicted as they thought about how all their family members would die before the age of 50.
They would die if they stayed in the pyramid any longer. But if they went out, they would have nothing else to do other than waiting for early death.
But how could they survive if they insisted on staying?
What should they do?
There was indeed a way.
Wayne and Allen suddenly turned to look at their sister. Their eyes met, and Leena understood.
Without a word, she took out a red crystal-like object with faint golden threads from her backpack.
She put it in her mouth and swallowed it.
The netizens were all stunned.
"What's the point of eating something now?"
"Hurry up and leave. You'll die if you wait any longer!"
"The gravekeeper is really too powerful. You guys should stay away from the Pyramid of Giza and never come back ever again!"
Other than the netizens, the cameraman was the most worried among them all. He hurriedly urged, "Let's get out of here quickly. If we don't leave now, we'll die here!"
He did not want to die there.
"Don't worry." Wayne said, trying to comfort him, "There's still a chance, as long as my sister eats this 200-year-old blood extracted from the heart of a unicorn."
"This is our family heirloom. It's the only one that's 200 years old, and my little sister has the perfect constitution for it."
"After consumption, there is a certain chance that her blood will be temporarily replaced with unicorn blood. This way, she can eliminate all the miasma and poisonous bugs in the pyramid."
