As Gu Xi and the others withdrew from the Octopus Head Pyramid, Gu Xi suddenly heard a rumble of thunder coming from the sky above it.
Dark-purple lightning descended from the heavens, striking the wonder dead-on.
Under the effect of the lightning, countless purple currents began to dance across the surface of the Octopus Head Pyramid.
Gu Xi understood. This was the Octopus Head Pyramid taking effect.
Though the lightning had fallen from the sky, the electrical current had actually come from inside the Octopus Head Pyramid.
This wave of lightning lasted nearly thirty minutes, far longer than the time Gu Xi had spent waiting for Li Yufang and the others to deliver the materials.
After the lightning ended, a two-meter-tall humanoid slowly appeared at the passageway of the Octopus Head Pyramid.
The moment this humanoid appeared, Gu Xi's eyes lit up.
The humanoid had a thin, elongated body, its surface wrapped in plastic bandages that flashed with a dark-purple glow. That dark-purple light made it look like a Cyber Mummy—yes, the kind covered all over in LED lights.
As it moved, one could see that beneath the plastic bandages was a body composed of lightning. If not for the complete skeleton, organs, flesh, and blood beneath its form, then what had emerged now would probably have been a ball of lightning fixed in place by plastic bandages.
Aside from those bandages, it also carried a longsword in its hand, wore a cloak over its back, and had a snake-shaped necklace hanging around its neck.
But none of that was the most important part.
The most important thing was that its head was not human, but the head of a deep-sea eel.
Between its eyes, lightning flickered from time to time.
Clearly, it had already made its own choice.
