Meng Zitao looked at the stone gate in front of him, and found that at the bottom, there were round stones, which were divided into two colors, one gray and one gray-white, surrounded by crossed horizontal and vertical lines.

On the whole, the horizontal and vertical lines seem to form a Go chessboard, and the stones are the pieces of Go, and those stones are not located at the intersection of the horizontal and vertical lines, as in Go, but in the middle of the grid.

While Mencius was observing, Smith came over and said, "This should be the Senit chess of ancient Egypt." ”

Mencius immediately reacted that Senit chess is one of the most famous board games, first found in the tombs of the pre-dynasty and the first dynasty in ancient Egypt. Senit chess is a popular board game in ancient Egypt. The chessboard is usually a checkered chessboard with three horizontal and ten vertical squares, and one side of the vertical row has five consecutive squares as a mark. Five pieces on each side, distinguishing friend from foe by shape.

It seems that here is to distinguish friend and foe by the color of the stone, as for the five grids with marks, Meng Zitao also found them, and I don't know who deliberately erased the marks.

"Senit is a game based on the path of the dead to Hades," Smith said. Legend has it that Kons, the moon god of the three Theban gods, faced off against Thoth, the god of wisdom, and bet on his light, and as a result, Thoth won the game, so that Kons could not show all his light except when the moon was full......"

Meng Zitao said: "Do you know how to play this kind of chess?"

Smith said: "The original rules of Senit chess are no longer available, and the existing rules are presumed by researchers of graphic games such as Robert Charles Bell. I don't know if it's consistent with the rules above, and besides, it's unknown if this is a mechanism or not. ”

Shu Ze next to him said: "Try it and you'll know." ”

"Try?" Smith hesitated.

"It's your problem. ”

As he spoke, Meng Zitao began to observe the surroundings, since the previous people did not escape through this stone gate, there must be a hidden entrance.

Meng Zitao was turning in the stone cave, because the light was dim, he didn't see anything, however, he still had a sense of smell, and when he walked to a place about ten meters away from the stone gate, he suddenly smelled a trace of blood, looked down, and found a few drops of blood on the side of the stone wall.

"Who of you were injured just now?" Meng Zitao asked Smith, who was still struggling.

Smith looked at his men, and everyone said they were not hurt.

Meng Zitao knew it in his heart, groped for the stone wall, and after a while, he found a thin crack, which was obviously not naturally formed. So, he pushed the stone wall hard, only to hear a rumbling sound, and the stone wall began to turn, and there was another passage behind it.

Seeing this passage, Smith was pleasantly surprised, and after that, he asked his subordinates to search first, and Meng Zitao also went with him, although if there is a treasure, it will be the first to go, but it is the same when encountering danger. What's more, there are already troops who have already surrendered first, and some treasures have long been taken away by them.

At the end of the secret passage is still a stone door, there is a pool of blood on the side of the stone door, which is also mixed with some fresh flesh and human organs, it seems that the stone door fell, this person did not have time to run away, and was crushed to death by the stone door.

Everyone inspected the stone door, and it was only made of bare stone, and it didn't move at all no matter what.

"Mr. Meng, I wonder if you have noticed?" Smith asked.

Meng Zitao shook his head: "Sorry, nothing was found. ”

"It seems that the only way to do this is to use violence. ”

"Aren't you worried about damaging the treasure inside?"

"At least it's better than waiting here. ”

Smith spread his hands and asked everyone to exit the secret passage, and after a while, Mencius heard a rumbling sound underground, presumably the stone gate should have been blown open.

Meng Zitao re-entered the secret room, surrounded by fragments of stones, but before Mencius had taken a few steps, suddenly there was a loud gunshot, and two of Smith's men fell in an instant.

Smith couldn't help but scold his mother, the enemy was too cunning, just now his men were cautious in case of a sudden attack, but he didn't expect the other party to endure it, ambush it, and wait until he lowered his vigilance before launching an attack.

Fortunately, there was good news, the weapons on Smith's side were more advanced, and although they were temporarily outnumbered, after a while, the situation began to change, and the scales of victory began to tilt in Smith's side.

With a few screams, the gunfire on the opposite side stopped abruptly, and Smith's men waited for a long time and made a test to confirm that it was safe.

Mencius walked into the stone chamber and found that it was actually a temple, surrounded by very thick pillars carved with various ancient Egyptian figures, and in the center of the temple, there was an altar with rectangular stone pillars below and a small pyramid above.

On the stone pillars, ancient Egyptian characters are also carved, but much more delicate, and there is also a line of ancient Egyptian characters written on them.

Mencius was now able to read most of the ancient Egyptian texts, so he quickly deciphered the meaning of these words, which were actually a curse, to the effect that anyone who took anything from the tomb or destroyed the tomb would meet with bad luck, and even death for the unrepentant.

Shu Ze learned the meaning of the words from Meng Zitao's mouth, and couldn't help muttering: "The blasting just now can be regarded as destroying the cemetery, so the people died just now?"

Smith said with a cold face: "This is the world of science, all the unknown is just the truth behind us not discovered, as long as we do, the so-called supernatural is just like that!"

Shu Ze shrugged his shoulders: "Whatever you want, I just want to ask, what should we do next?"

At this moment, one of Smith's men ran up and said, "There are only two guides here. ”

Smith was slightly stunned, he clearly remembered that there were three guides who entered the secret passage, and where did the other one go?

Smith said, "Check for me if there is a flip door or a secret passage." ”

"Yes......"

Smith's subordinates stepped up the investigation, while Mencius admired the murals in the temple, and what made him find it interesting was that the murals in the temple had portraits of Apophis in many places, and the image of Apophis here did not look like a villain.

Could it be that Hatshepsu was indeed a worshipper of Apophis at the time? Or that she did not think Apophis was evil.

This discovery made Meng Zitao find it interesting, imagining whether this would be the real cause of Hatshepsu's death.

At this time, one of Smith's men shouted, but he discovered the tunnel again.

Meng Zitao walked to the entrance of the tunnel and found that there was also a group of ancient Egyptian scripts, which were also curses, but it was written that whoever trespassed on the ancient tomb, the god of chaos would immediately descend on him.

Seeing this curse, Meng Zitao faintly felt that something was wrong in his heart, but at this time, Smith had already let his subordinates enter the tunnel, and he didn't care about the lives of these people.

"Be careful. Meng Zitao used the Moss code to remind Shu Ze.

Shu Ze nodded imperceptibly, and then followed Meng Zitao's steps.

Not long after walking into the tunnel, the surrounding area suddenly turned into a cave, and Meng Zitao could feel a trace of moisture, which was quite unusual in the desert environment. And in addition to the moisture, he also smelled a fishy smell. At this moment, he thought of the curse just now, how could he not understand what he would encounter here.

"Ahh

As soon as the thought flashed in Meng Zitao's mind, he heard a miserable scream from everywhere, which startled everyone.

"Snake, I was bitten by a snake......"

Before the screamer could finish his sentence, he fell over, his face dark, and he was actually dead!

The sudden change even Meng Zitao was startled, he never imagined that the snake venom was so deadly, but in a few seconds, a living man was poisoned to death, which made people shudder.

"Look, it's here again!"

There was silence for a minute or two, and then someone shouted out.

"It's there!"

"Bang Bang!"

Someone raised his gun and attacked the snake, but he didn't expect the snake's speed to be very fast, but in the blink of an eye, it crossed several meters away, and the bullets kept flying, but it couldn't hit it at all.

During this process, Mencius kept staring at the poisonous snake, saying that it was a snake, but in fact it was more like a lizard because it had four legs and was walking flat on the stone wall. But let's say it's a lizard, and its body is more like a snake. Meng Zitao felt that it would be better to call it a four-legged snake.

Seeing that so many people had no way to take the four-legged snake, Smith was very angry, and asked for a gun, and a string of bullets poured out at the four-legged snake, but what made him embarrassed and powerless was that he also had no way to take the four-legged snake.

The four-legged snake may have been enraged by the bullets fired at it, and at first it dodged forward, then simply returned. Dodging bullets while waiting for an opportunity to bite Smith's men.

The venom of the four-legged snake was so poisonous that after being bitten by it, it was not lucky to survive, and all of them died.

For a while, exclamations, screams, and "silk" sounds sounded from the mouth of the four-legged snake from time to time throughout the passage.

Looking at the chaotic scene and the subordinates who fell from time to time, Smith was angry and a little frightened, if it continued like this, not to mention the lives of his subordinates, even he would die here.

"Mr. Meng, I don't know if you have any way to solve it?" Smith couldn't help but ask when he saw Meng Zitao who was on guard.

"Are you asking me how to kill it?" Meng Zitao asked.

"It's best if you can kill it, but if you can't kill it, just drive it away," Smith said. ”

"I'm sorry, I'm going to have a hard time killing it, but if I just get rid of it, I have a way to give it a try. As he spoke, Meng Zitao took out something in a plastic bag from his travel backpack. 2k reading web
