With a whoosh, the Golden Longsword was pulled from the corpse.

Hearing the sound of the sword being drawn, everyone instinctively turned their heads and saw Li Sha holding Golden Longsword.

"What are you doing?"

Qiao Fanni said in shock.

The others stared at Li Sha in astonishment, unable to believe that she would do such a thing.

They weren't blind; they had seen the Golden Longsword embedded in the Pharaoh's chest long ago, but they subconsciously ignored it, even though it was made of gold.

Only when they've finished cleaning up will they consider whether or not to remove the thing, and most likely they will choose not to.

"Li Sha, why didn't you discuss this with us before pulling it out?" Qiao Fanni said in a somewhat unpleasant tone. "Don't you know that pulling this out rashly could be dangerous?!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the others immediately echoed his sentiments.

"Yeah, Li Sha, are you crazy?"

"The gold on the Pharaoh's body isn't even enough for us to carry away, so why are you touching this?"

However, faced with their barrage of questions and complaints, Li Sha, who was being criticized, remained expressionless and showed no intention of responding.

Upon seeing her appearance, the eight people, including Qiao Fanni and Na Jiduo, felt a chill run down their spines and had a bad premonition.

"Li Sha, don't scare us!"

Just as they were starting to panic, a rough, loud shout suddenly came from the shadows not far away.

What are you doing?!

Qiao Fanni and the others instinctively turned their heads and saw a group of people dressed in brown clothes, carrying flashlights and machetes, and with Egypt features, walking out.

"Who are you? How did you get in?" Qiao Fanni exclaimed incredulously.

Before he could finish speaking, a middle-aged man with a thick beard, who was in the lead, said in shock and anger, "Are you all crazy? How dare you touch the Pharaoh's things and even pull out that Golden Sword!"

At this moment, Li Sha, who had just drawn the Golden Longsword, seemed to have regained her senses. Looking at the sword in her hand, she felt confused. Upon hearing this, she instinctively retorted, "So what if I drew it?"

"What's wrong?" Upon hearing this, the bearded man, Ka Ba, laughed angrily and said, "Don't you know that if you pull out this sword, this tyrant might very well be resurrected?"

After his explanation, everyone understood what had happened.

It turns out that this group of people were the guardians of the pyramids for generations, preventing anyone from entering the pyramids and committing any greedy or offensive acts.

As for the body on the Golden Platform, it was indeed the body of Pharaoh Pharaoh, who did indeed want to use the pyramids and rituals to borrow the power of the great Sun God Ra in order to achieve resurrection and restore his youth.

However, due to his cruelty and inhumanity during his reign, the Pharaoh's son, who would become the next Pharaoh, did not want his father to be resurrected, so he sent people to stop the ceremony.

A Golden Longsword was plunged into the heart of the Pharaoh, who was then attempting to resurrect, thus interrupting the resurrection ritual.

Besides protecting the Pharaoh from outsiders, these guards also had the task of preventing Pharaoh resurrection.

Of course, they were also skeptical about the resurrection, not really believing it, neither believing that people could be brought back to life nor that a stopped ritual could continue.

Seeing that there was no movement on the golden platform for a long time, Ka Ba and the other twenty-odd guards breathed a sigh of relief, thinking to themselves that nothing had happened.

With no unusual changes observed in the Pharaoh's corpse, Chief Ka Ba had the inclination to inquire about other matters.

His sharp gaze swept over the group, and he demanded, "How did you get to the pyramids?"

"How did you get in!"

Logically, it should have taken this group quite a while to get through that barrier. They would have arrived here long ago, instead of only arriving now that the Golden Sword has been drawn.

The words were spoken.

"I should be asking you how you got in!"

Qiao Fanni had calmed down by now. He pulled out a black pistol from his waist, pointed it directly at them, and said, "Don't move. Drop your scimitars, or I'll shoot!"

"You can try and see if your scimitars are faster or my gun is faster!"

Upon seeing this, the Ka Ba leader and the others' expressions changed, clearly not expecting that this guy would have a gun on him.

Just as the atmosphere was tense and the guards hidden behind Ka Ba were also preparing to draw their weapons, something happened that made everyone present turn pale.

Suddenly, the entire pyramid began to shake, and they could no longer stand steadily.

"What happened?"

To their astonishment, suddenly a golden beam of light shone down from the top of the hall and illuminated the golden platform.

Is this sunlight?

How can sunlight shine into the depths of the pyramids?

Whether it was Li Sha and the others or the guards like Ka Ba, they were all filled with astonishment, staring in disbelief at the golden platform.

Suddenly, the sunlight streaming in from the outside became countless times more intense, shining upon the golden platform and the Pharaoh's corpse.

The jewelry on the Pharaoh's body shimmered with golden light, dazzling and radiant.

Boom! A powerful shockwave appeared around the golden platform.

"Ah..."

Amid screams, Li Sha and the others were thrown backward by the shockwave, crashing heavily to the ground one by one, their cries of pain echoing through the air.

However, they were in no mood to dwell on it now. Everyone stared in shock at the Pharaoh's corpse undergoing a transformation within the golden beam of light.

The wounds on the Pharaoh's corpse, where the Golden Longsword had pierced him, were now healing rapidly.

They even saw that the Pharaoh's corpse's hand seemed to move slightly.

"His hand moved, did you see it?" Norbert asked in shock.

"Right."

"I saw it too..."

While Qiao Fanni and the others were still in shock, the guard leader, Ka Ba, looked grim and muttered, "The interrupted ritual has actually started again?"

"How is this possible?"

"We're doomed!"

Finally, there was a hint of fear in his voice.

Upon hearing this, a handsome young man in his twenties Colin asked in bewilderment, "Even if the Pharaoh is resurrected, how can we be doomed?"

"I'm carrying a gun. Even if he revives, can he really withstand a gunshot?"

The others nearby nodded in agreement.

Upon hearing this, Ka Ba looked at them angrily and said, "What do you know? It is said that this Pharaoh is powerful and has great magical abilities. He knows many methods that only priests can use."
