Chapter 365
The next day, Ling Yun got up from bed early in the morning and left the ****** alone without saying hello to the blonde female model who had been with him for a while. [Latest chapter reading.]
Along the way, the scenery along the way is not bad, although Ling Yun has also traveled to many places due to the archaeology of his mentor before, but now he is riding alone or the first time that a big girl has been on a sedan chair.
The sun is setting in the west, Lingyun who has gone deep into the desert gradually feels a little uncomfortable, the endless yellow sand is dyed bright red by the sunset, the violent wind is raging and roaring, the sky is high and the earth is wide, the desert is lonely, desolate and lonely, and the earth has a poetic desolation.
In an oasis, Ling Yun saw for the first time the Saharavi who always loved to wear dark blue cloth, which means the inhabitants of the desert.
The oasis is the center of economic activity in the desert area, surrounded by dozens of large tents full of holes, some wooden houses, a few dromedaries and herds of goats in the sand, cars are no longer useful on the rest of the road, only the camels known as the 'ship of the desert' are the best means of transportation.
Looking at the boundless desert outside the oasis, Ling Yun couldn't help but think of Danding's words in the "Hell" chapter at this moment: You have come here to abandon all hopes.
"My God, is this hell?"
All you can see here are Arab women with their heads and faces wrapped in them, and these relatively large women look at Ling Yun stunned, because he doesn't know that the aesthetic concept of the desert is that fat women are the most beautiful.
In this oasis, Ling Yun bought the necessary daily necessities to go to the desert, but the only thing he wanted to complain about was that he couldn't use credit cards here, so he had to stuff a lot of hard currency and US dollars into his backpack.
Before coming, he searched the Internet for many dangers that may be encountered in desert expeditions and ways to save himself, but the conclusion is that he can avoid them, and there are many fierce places in the desert, even the nomads who have survived in them for many years are regarded as daunting.
"Seran (hello Arabic), I heard you can take me deep into the Sahara?"
When Ling Yun took out a thick tart of dollars from his carry-on bag and waved an olive branch to a very famous local guide, and told the other party that he wanted to go to the deepest part of the desert, the guide was so frightened that he refused to accept the dollar bill in Ling Yun's hand, and muttered in a low voice, "Are all the people crazy lately? Why do so many people want to go to that ghost place? Young man, why do you want to go there, the 'Silent Hill' in the depths of the desert is a forbidden place, and it is a place that only the undead yearn for. ”
Today's Lingyun's hearing is very incomparable, although the sound of the other party's muttering is almost as small as a mosquito's call, but he still captured the meaning of it, so he hurriedly asked: "You just said that someone once went to a forbidden place deep in the desert?"
"Yes, there have been a few expeditions that have tried to enter the Forbidden Land, but in the end they have never returned. ”
The desert guide glanced at the oriental man with strange eyes, obviously very surprised that the other party could hear his whispered words clearly, and then replied: "At this time last year, a French scientific expedition entered the 'Hill of Silence' with various advanced detection instruments, but no one was seen coming out of it alive later. ”
"That's good!"
Hearing that no one had yet been able to come out of the mysterious "Hill of Silence" alive, Ling Yun couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart, because it showed that the Pandora Star was still safe for the time being.
"How about doubling the retainer fee?"
Facing the desert guide in front of him, Ling Yun took out a stack of colorful bills from the backpack behind him and shook it in front of the other party's eyes, but the other party still shook his head very firmly, obviously the fear of the forbidden place "Silent Hill" has far exceeded the temptation of money
The guide, who was well-known in the local area and had been a desert guide for twenty years, looked at the Oriental man in front of him with a strange expression, and he didn't seem to understand where the other party came from, and dared to enter the forbidden place "Silent Hill" alone.
"Okay, okay!"
Seeing that the other party did not have the slightest intention of being moved by money, Ling Yun, who had no choice but to take out two stacks of banknotes in his backpack again, made a compromise with the other party, and said, "As long as you can take me to the place you think you can reach, these banknotes are yours, is there a problem?"
"I'm glad to accept this kind of work. ”
Perhaps for the sake of the omnipotent and evil banknotes, the desert guide named Muhan finally nodded, and after a few days, he was ready to lead the four camels and Ling Yun to the depths of the desert.
The desert is like walking into another illusion for Ling Yun, the surrounding high uplifted sand dunes are like flaming mountains under the strong sunlight, constantly spraying heat waves around, and the strong air waves even make the surrounding air distort.
Shaking his head heavily, he left behind the very different world and life in the past, and followed Mohamm slowly towards the endless desert.
Walking in the desert, camels are the best means of transport from one source of water to another, because that is their instinctive reaction to existence.
In this vast sea of sand, people are dizzying with various forms of sand dunes, the most common being crescent-shaped dunes, which are about tens of meters high in the shape of a crescent moon and stretch for several kilometers.
At the beginning of the journey, Lingyun could still see some oases, but the vagaries of the desert could never be controlled and understood by man, and as the two moved towards the depths of the desert, the oases became more and more rare.
Sometimes, Ling Yun clearly saw an oasis not far away, but the oasis that was always tempting him in front of him seemed to be a paradise that could never be reached, because that oasis was only a natural phenomenon created by light and shadow, a unique mirage wonder in the desert.
The sun was finally replaced by the moon, and the whole world of sand seemed to be replaced by something, the boiling heat wave was replaced by a biting cold wind, and the harsh white light slowly faded in favor of a beautiful pale blue.
The boredom caused by the hot weather was replaced by fatigue and chill, and although Ling Yun had an excellent physique, he was still a little unbearable, but in the endless desert full of all kinds of dangers, he could only grit his teeth and follow Murham to continue towards a suitable place to camp.
Because he knows very well that the choice of camping in this great desert full of dangers is very important, and if there is no suitable campsite, you may be buried alive by the wind and sand and moving dunes along with your tent when the sun rises again the next day.
Seven days later, Lingyun was close to the center of the Sahara Desert, and Muhamm had finally chosen to leave on the outskirts of the 'Hill of Silence'.
Although Ling Yun promised to make a lot of money that the other party would never earn in his life, the desert guide was unmoved, because he knew one thing very well: although the money was cute, it was meaningless to a dead man.
In desperation, Ling Yun could only grit his teeth and walk alone in the scorching desert, leading two camels towards the "unknown" danger ahead.
Perhaps there really was some forbidden place in the Sahara, and after Lingyun crossed its boundary, the sky gradually darkened after a burst of lightning and thunder, and the surrounding sand began to churn like boiling water, and the two camels also looked a little restless.
The turbulence rose suddenly, and a terrifying yellow cyclone gradually brewed in the sky, and the yellow sand under his feet was suspended in the air with the dust storm and scattered everywhere, and the temperature also plummeted to nearly zero degrees like a downed satellite.
"What's that?"
With the help of the dark power, Ling Yun finally clearly saw that the terrifying cyclone was actually composed of nameless flying insects the size of a fist, the flying insects were all red, with a row of bone spurs protruding from their vertebrae, and four thin transparent wings on their backs, and a little green light flashing in their empty eye sockets, but there was a jet-black two-inch-long terrifying tail thorn behind them, which circled and flew rapidly, and the heavens and the earth were filled with a mysterious buzzing sound.
Following the wind, the flying insects circled their thin wings and attacked Lingyun as soon as they retracted, and the colored bone spurs on their backs erected sharp tail thorns that shone with cold light and rose forward.
Ling Yun was frightened into a cold sweat, but now he had a lot of combat experience, and after the initial panic passed, he was no longer so in a hurry, although these flying insects growing in the forbidden land looked extremely terrifying, and they were obviously not easy to mess with.
Ling Yun first used the energy in his body to form an energy light shield around him to block all the flying insects outside, and then he waved the shadow in his hand to block the airtight wind of the left and right, and cut those flying insects who dared to approach him into pieces one by one.
But helplessly, the number of flying insects is too much, Ling Yun swung his sword to kill one and immediately rushed over two, and after eliminating one group, two groups would rush up immediately, at this time Ling Yun no longer knew where he was, because he was now completely surrounded by flying insects that covered the sky and the sun.
I don't know how long it took, but the corpses of the flying insects had accumulated into a small hill around him, and just when the dark energy in Ling Yun's body was about to be exhausted, the nightmare finally passed.
After the storm of flying insects, the sky cleared again, the red sun was scorching, the sky was clear, the sky was blue and white clouds, if it weren't for the cold sweat that had soaked his clothes and the corpses of flying insects piled up like a hill around him, Ling Yun would almost think that the scene just now was just his hallucination.
After the nightmare, Ling Yun let out a long sigh and prepared to continue on his way, the two camels he had sent here had been eaten by flying insects into a pile of white bones, and the strange twisted marks on their limbs showed that they had struggled helplessly before they died.
At this moment, Ling Yun finally began to regret why he didn't ask Shikov and the zombie man for help, maybe it was the recent smooth sailing and great increase in strength that made him more confident or even a little carried away, so he finally chose to bypass hell and come to this place where birds don't to "bask in the sun".
In fact, if you don't feel thirsty and fiery feelings, then it should be a pleasant thing to travel in the desert, where the endless sand dunes are undulating and undulating, stretching the graceful lines that only the skillful hand of nature can draw into the infinite distance in all directions.
However, Ling Yun was not only thirsty, hungry, hot, and tired now, but also made the most serious mistake in the desert, that is, he seemed to have no sense of direction in the endless desert, and now he only had a bunch of small high-tech items on him, and everything else had already been gnawed by the flying insects along with the two camels.
However, fortunately, the small satellite locator he carried with him was still working normally, so that Ling Yun would not be trapped in the desert due to disorientation.
In the following days, after several days of arduous trekking, Ling Yun finally reached the center of the 'Hill of Silence' as the sun was about to set, and Ling Yun came to rest in a valley surrounded by several sand dunes.
Looking at the location of the satellite locator in his hand, where there should have been an ancient city, Ling Yun used all the dark power on his body to raise his head to the sky and roared unwillingly, "Damn God, did I not greet your old man recently and made you angry, or did the great Virgin Mary hit your fucking bastard's P shares?"
The sound came not far away, and the sound waves were rumbling and reverberating in all directions as if they had been exploded, and by the time Ling Yun realized what he had done, it was already too late, and he clearly felt that the ground around him seemed to be about to earthquake, and the whole area of sand had sunk down.
A whirlpool of quicksand began to appear where he was standing under his feet, and Ling Yun's entire body began to sink slowly as if he had fallen into a quagmire, making him laugh bitterly and laugh at himself: "The name of the (sinking) hill of silence is originally from here. ”
After a fatal feeling of suffocation, Ling Yun felt his body suddenly loosen and fall directly onto a pile of sand, the air around him was filthy but enough for him to survive.
The surroundings were so quiet that Ling Yun even mistakenly thought that he had gone to hell now.
Struggling to remove the mud and sand on his body, he barely stood up and moved his limbs with difficulty, and Ling Yun, who gradually regained his senses, was stunned and looked at the incredible scene around him, for a moment he even felt that he seemed to be back in the underground palace of Qin Shi Huang in a trance, and now standing in front of him was a huge city, countless huge stone houses were unfolded in the underground city in a disorderly manner, constituting a strange world in front of him.
Looking at the huge city in front of him, Ling Yun couldn't help but muttered to himself as if he were talking to himself, "Here, it should be the Divine City that is recorded in the Book of Heaven to collect the Pandora Star!"
There was no sound in the silence of the whole city, there was no trace of any living creatures at all, desolation and silence were the most realistic portrayal of it, but the various collapsed towering buildings still seemed to silently tell the glory of its past.
The ruins of the city were quite magnificent, and Ling Yun carefully followed the 'street' towards the center of the city, so it took him almost a long time to reach the center of the city, and finally what remained in front of him was a magnificent yellow building, a mystery that mankind had not solved since its reappearance - the pyramid.
Among the Seven Wonders of the World, the pyramid is one of the most famous ancient buildings, and its engineering is so vast and intricate that it is still a mystery to mankind that has not been uncovered.
However, these are not what he cares about now, and he took out the miniature remote sensor he carried with him to conduct hyperspectral transmissive shooting, and analyzed the internal structure of the pyramid by means of electric current, electromagnetic waves, and magnetic fields.
From the results of the detection, he knew that if he entered the entrance at the top of the pyramid, he would enter a 25-degree inclined downward ramp, and if he entered through the lower entrance, it would also be a 25-degree upward ramp into deeper ground, and then the passage would gradually change to a horizontal surface, and this section of the road would lead to an underground room. If you continue on, you will encounter an uphill ramp that connects directly to the channel accessed by the entrance above, and the intersection of the upper and lower roads is in the center of the pyramid.
After a final biothermal probe, Ling Yun gasped and broke an entrance and exit on the pyramid that could accommodate people to enter and exit, and then the probe looked into D, it was pitch black and there was no light, and there was an unpleasant pungent musty smell spilling out of D's mouth.
According to the information that Begonia read from the Book of the Dead, Ling Yun knew that although this place was deserted, there were still many unknown dangers, so he took a deep breath and prepared to enter the pyramid to capture the last Pandora Star, but the foul air full of sand and dust made him frown.
Imagining what skulls or other terrifying things he might see later, Ling Yun felt a pimple crawl all over his body.
But after thinking about it, it was not everyone's opportunity to be able to witness the "beauty" of the ancients thousands of years ago, so he gritted his teeth again and disappeared into the pyramid and disappeared into the darkness.
However, the moment he stepped into the pyramid, Ling Yun remembered the famous inscription describing the pyramid: "The sky stretches its light to you so that you can go to heaven like the eyes of a puller."
In the center of the pyramid, he found a temple, a temple with beautiful Corinthian columns and walls, and when Lingyun entered the temple, he saw a room laid out in red granite, with nine large stones on the roof, each at least 50 metric tons, supported by five partition walls.
"******Damn, which damn bastard got there and snatched Lao Tzu's Pandora Star?"
Looking at the sarcophagus that had been opened in the temple, Ling Yun quickly squatted on the lid of the sarcophagus that had been opened, and the dusty air that had been sealed for thousands of years unceremoniously penetrated into his nasal cavity, making him suddenly feel a tumbling of his chest and stomach.
Lighting the faint flame of the lighter in his hand flickered and dimmed, the entire sarcophagus was made of ivory and the rested interior was smooth as a mirror, and the lighter leaned towards the sarcophagus, and the remains in the sarcophagus in front of him swayed in the faint firelight, for Ling Yun, who was born in archaeology, this was not the first time he had such "intimate contact" with the skeleton, so Ling Yun settled down to look at the shiny skull, which should be a man, about 1.70 meters tall.
The skeleton lying in the sarcophagus clearly showed signs of being turned over, and the long and short broken bones conveyed to him a very cruel reality, and someone had already visited the temple first.
