Lin Xuan swiftly glided across the rooftop, his feet firmly planted on the stone slabs as his body adapted to the undulations of the roof. His speed was astonishing; not only did he catch up to Ramses II, but he began to surpass him. Lin Xuan's figure darted across the rooftop like a bolt of lightning, sunlight glinting off him as if a war god had descended.
Ramses II witnessed this spectacle, a flicker of surprise flashing in his eyes, quickly replaced by seething anger. He could not accept being outpaced here, especially for someone of his lofty status as Pharaoh. His gaze turned cold, a smirk creeping onto his lips as he made a decision—he had to stop Lin Xuan.
Ramses II grabbed several fruits from a nearby vendor and hurled them towards Lin Xuan with force. The fruits arced through the air, flying rapidly toward Lin Xuan like small projectiles, aimed directly at him. Ramses II's smirk held a hint of cunning; he knew this attack wouldn't truly harm Lin Xuan but would disrupt his rhythm.
Lin Xuan sensed the commotion behind him and quickly turned around to see the incoming fruits. He smiled calmly, confidence glimmering in his eyes. With a slight twist of his body, he deftly adjusted his position and swung his arms, effortlessly deflecting each fruit. Every piece of fruit bounced away under his precise defense, rendered ineffective.
"This kind of attack is useless against me," Lin Xuan thought to himself, a confident smile playing on his lips. His movements were light and graceful, resembling a beautiful dance; each dodge showcased his composure and poise.
However, Ramses II's cold laughter was not without purpose.
As Lin Xuan blocked the fruits thrown by Ramses II, remnants and juices splattered across him and the stone slabs. Seeing this, Ramses II's face broke into a sinister smile. He took a deep breath and suddenly roared, beginning to chant an ancient incantation. The spell was deep and powerful, resonating with some mysterious force that echoed throughout the city’s alleys.
Upon hearing the incantation, Lin Xuan felt an ominous presence; before he could react, a chorus of buzzing insects surged from all directions. Li Zhiqi below watched in horror as swarms of Golden Beetles flew toward them like a dark cloud, seemingly summoned by the spell, driven by fervor and strength.
The army of Golden Beetles closed in rapidly, their sensitivity to the scent of fruit leading them straight toward Lin Xuan. These insects shimmered with a metallic sheen under the sunlight, their sheer numbers overwhelming as they blotted out the sky.
Lin Xuan felt the rush of wind behind him and quickly turned to see this scene unfold. Though surprised, he remained unperturbed. He knew he had to react swiftly or risk falling into danger.
"This guy is really cunning," Lin Xuan thought resolutely as determination flashed in his eyes. Taking a deep breath, he quickly devised a strategy. The army of Golden Beetles drew nearer, exuding immense threat and pressure; Lin Xuan had to find a way to counter them in no time.
Ramses II wore a triumphant smile on his face; he knew this tactic would put Lin Xuan in a predicament. "Let's see how you deal with these Golden Beetles!" His eyes sparkled with victory as if he could already envision Lin Xuan's defeat.
Lin Xuan tried to accelerate, avoiding the harassment of the swarm, but the Golden Beetles were astonishingly fast. They flew at him wildly, quickly surrounding Lin Xuan. A multitude of Golden Beetles enveloped him like a layer of black mist, blurring his vision in an instant. The insects crawled over him and the stone slab, emitting piercing screeches.
Lin Xuan's speed slowed as a result. He struggled to shake off the bugs clinging to him, but their sheer numbers made it difficult. The climbing and biting of the Golden Beetles dulled his movements, making it harder to glide on the stone slab. A flicker of anxiety crossed his eyes, but he knew he could not give up.
Ramses II watched this scene with a hearty laugh, his voice filled with pride and mockery. His laughter echoed through the narrow alleyways, as if the entire world was cheering for his victory.
As the race progressed, the road widened, and the noise of the pyramids and city gradually faded away. Ramses II's figure shimmered in the sunlight, his speed unwavering, exuding immense confidence and power. Ahead lay a fishing village by the Estuary, marking the penultimate stage of the race.
The sight of the fishing village contrasted sharply with the previous urban landscape; a broad river sparkled with shimmering waves while fishing boats gently swayed on its surface. The villagers paused their work upon seeing the race approach, gazing in astonishment at the spectacle before them. Their eyes were filled with curiosity and excitement as they anticipated witnessing this thrilling showdown.
Surrounded by Golden Beetles and with his vision blurred, Lin Xuan refused to give up. Gritting his teeth, he concentrated all his strength and focus, striving to maintain balance and speed. He knew that only by overcoming these obstacles could he catch up to Ramses II.
Suddenly, an idea struck Lin Xuan; he decided to use the water of the Estuary to shake off the Golden Beetles. He accelerated again, locking his gaze on the river ahead. As he approached the Estuary, he leaped into the air, his stone slab tracing a graceful arc before crashing heavily into the water.
The icy river water quickly washed over him, sweeping away the Golden Beetles one by one. Lin Xuan felt a refreshing surge of energy as his vision cleared once more. His stone slab glided across the water's surface, sending up splashes as he regained confidence and strength.
Ramses II moved swiftly across the river's surface, coldly observing Lin Xuan behind him. He saw Lin Xuan escape from the torment of the Golden Beetles but felt no defeat; instead, a sinister smile crept onto his lips. Although Lin Xuan had successfully plunged into the river, he had actually fallen into Ramses II's true trap.
The river appeared calm and sparkled beautifully on its surface; however, beneath this lovely facade lurked deadly danger. A group of fierce crocodiles lay in wait at the riverbed, ready for fresh meat at any moment. Lin Xuan's movements and disturbances in the water had already caught their attention.
Bursting out of the river, Lin Xuan increased his speed again and caught up with Ramses II once more. His figure shimmered in the sunlight like an indomitable warrior who would not give up despite facing numerous challenges. Yet he remained unaware that beneath the surface of the river, pairs of cold and fierce eyes were fixated on him, waiting for the perfect moment to strike.
Ramses II looked back at Lin Xuan with a smug smile on his face. "You've fallen into my trap, Lin Xuan," he thought to himself with satisfaction, knowing that victory in this race was about to be revealed.
Suddenly, a splash of water erupted as a massive crocodile leaped out of the water, its gaping jaws aimed directly at Lin Xuan. Sensing the danger behind him, Lin Xuan quickly turned around and witnessed this heart-stopping scene. With a powerful leap, he flipped in mid-air, narrowly evading the crocodile's attack and escaping a deadly strike just in time.
