Chapter 1324 The Hidden Secret

……

Facing the glittering eyes of the powerful and mysterious man in front of him, Clark Müller's face showed a fierce look of struggle. After a long time, he sighed heavily, and said to Liu Dong with a slightly frustrated expression: "How did you find out?"

"Intuition!"

"Intuition?" Clark Müller shook his head with a wry smile after a moment's pause.

"Since you found out, then I won't hide it anymore. But I hope you will keep your promise and don't embarrass us, especially Sinclair, after getting your hands on the Nazi treasures in the ancient city of Heracps!"

"Clark......!"

Facing his friend's grateful look with a little complicated look, Clark Mueller patted the other party's shoulder and smiled bitterly: "Old friend, if it weren't for me, you wouldn't be caught up in this right and wrong." As a friend, it is my responsibility to keep you safe. And you're different from me, except for Martha, I don't have much to worry about in this world anymore. And you also have Chrissy and David, and as a husband and father, you have a responsibility to provide them with protection and a better life. So, you have to be strong and live at all times!"

"I know, we all have to stay strong!" Sinclair excited.

"Of course!"

That being said, the more thoughtful Clark Mueller knew how difficult it would be for the two of them to survive the catastrophe as a vulnerable group.

Especially when Liu Dong and the others squeezed the last trace of surplus value out of him, their chances of survival were even lower.

But for Martha's sake, for the sake of life. He still has to fight.

"Let's hope he's not a man of his word!"

Meet Clark Mueller's eyes. Liu Dong said calmly: "You can rest assured. I will do what I promised! As long as you tell me what you are hiding, I can guarantee you safety with us!"

Clark Mueller understood the subtext of Liu Dong's words, if he left for Martha's sake, then Liu Dong would not be responsible for his life or death.

And such conditions were also expected by Clark Müller.

Nodding slightly, taking a few deep breaths, and calming down his complicated thoughts, Clark Muller said slowly: "This steel passage does not allow us to find Heracps!"

Clark Müller's first words were a surprise to everyone.

"Since this passage does not lead to Heracps, why did the Germans build it?" Liu Dong said in a quiet voice.

With the usual rigor of the Germans. They obviously don't want to do face-saving projects that don't have any interests. What's more, the amount of work in this project is not small, and it is still in the early 20th century, when materials are scarce.

"The purpose of this passage is to hide from the wind and sand!"

"Hiding from the wind and sand?" Liu Dong said in surprise.

Legend has it that during the New Kingdom of Ancient Egypt, the army under the command of Ramses II suffered heavy losses in the northern campaign against the Hittites invasion and was forced to abandon the capital and retreat to Thebes. But the Hittite cavalry, in pursuit, disrupted the Egyptians' plans to retreat. Ramses II escaped under the protection of a small number of guards, and the Egyptian army and people in Cairo led by the high priest Sheshunk stubbornly resisted the Hittitite invasion, but the Egyptians were eventually outnumbered and had to retreat from Cairo to the sacrificial city of Herakpus in the desert. ”

"For Sheshunk the high priest took with him almost all the treasures of the king of Egypt when he retreated. So the greedy Hittites did not give up the pursuit. The war between the two sides lasted from Cairo to 'Herakpup', and the desert was soaked with blood. The corpses were pushed like a mountain, and both sides suffered heavy casualties. But the Egyptians, who had lost their support, were even more unsustainable. ”

"Finally, in order to ensure that the wealth of Egypt does not fall into the hands of the invaders. At the same time, in order to avoid the poison of the Hittites in the sacrificial city of 'Herakps', which had been passed down for more than a thousand years and had gathered a lot of wealth, the high priest Sheshunk sacrificed all the lives of the sacrifices, including himself, before the defeat of the Hittites, and set a terrible curse for Herakps. ”

"Curse?" Liu Dong couldn't help but ask in surprise.

He naturally had a hint of curiosity about all things supernatural. And this is also because of his unbelievable relics.

"Yes!" Clark Müller, who was immersed in his thoughts, nodded, and did not pay attention to Liu Dong, but continued: "According to legend, after the curse of the high priest Sheshunk was completed, a large-scale sandstorm suddenly appeared on the calm desert, and the overwhelming sand and dust overwhelmed the Hittites' army, and at the same time concealed the sacrificial city of 'Herakpus', which was originally located on the ground, under the yellow sand. Since then, no one has found it for nearly 3,000 years. It was not until the Second World War that the Germans rediscovered its traces. ”

After nodding thoughtfully, Liu Dong looked stunned, and suddenly raised his head to look directly at Clark Muller and said in a condensed voice: "If we want to find the ancient city of Herakpus, do we also have to use sandstorms?"

Although he was a little surprised by Liu Dong's quick thinking, Clark Mueller nodded without concealment.

"That's right, according to my grandfather's notes, the ancient city of Heracples will only really emerge from the yellow sand on January 15th every year, after the satanic storm! Otherwise, it is impossible to find the ancient city!"

After listening, Liu Dong nodded knowingly.

At the moment, his attention was more focused on the 'satanic storm' that came out of Clark Mueller's mouth. As for the latter method, Liu Dong didn't even consider it. Not to mention the difficulty of digging more than 100,000 people in a hurry, even if he really found so many people, he was afraid that he would not be able to dig up the ancient city of Herakpus.

It's like the 1911 British salvage of the Amazon's Golden Lake. Even if they had pumped the lake with modern pumping equipment, by the time they brought in the excavation equipment from the rear, the lake had already been filled with rain again.

Liu Dong estimated that if he really planned to excavate the ancient city of Herakpuse by hand, regardless of the obstruction of the Egyptian government, the final result would probably be the same as that of the British.

Before he could dig out the ancient city, the storm in the desert had filled the fruits of his labor for a few days, ten days, with new yellow sand.

And among the largest deserts in the world, there is no shortage of yellow sand.

"So, this passage was built to escape the satanic storm?" Liu Dong said.

"Yes!" After a moment's hesitation, Clark Mueller nodded.

"January 15th, that is the day after tomorrow?" Liu Dong said thoughtfully.

"That's right!"

"Dada......!"

Just as Clark Muller nodded in agreement, a loud gunshot rang out in the long tunnel behind them.

"Oops, Door Master, it's probably because the gunfire we just fired alerted the mercenaries left behind!" said Roddy's face.

"I know!"

Hearing the increasingly fierce gunshots, everyone here except Liu Dong showed nervousness on their faces.

In fact, it's no wonder that they are like this, anyone who is cut off from the back road and becomes a 'turtle in an urn' will not feel good.

"Turn off everyone's flashlights!" Liu Dong stood up and ordered.

"Turn off the flashlight?"

Liu Dong's order left everyone scratching their heads.

"Didn't you hear the door master tell you to turn off the flashlight?" the long-cultivated obedience made Roddy the first to wake up, and urged everyone to carry out the order.

Soon, at the urging of Roddy, all the flashlights in everyone's hands were turned off. Without the light of the flashlight, the steel passage located hundreds of meters underground immediately became invisible.

Seeing this, Liu Dong nodded with satisfaction and strode to the left side of the alloy door. Because the alloy gate is deep into the hard mountain of Sowan Mountain. Therefore, at this moment, the steel ladder passage that Liu Dong is facing immediately to the left of the alloy door is not rolling quicksand, but the hard mountain rock of Suowan Mountain.

After briefly estimating the size of the cross-section of the steel passage, Liu Dong used the relics to take down a long boulder with a width of two meters, a height of two meters and a half meters, a length of four meters, and a weight of more than ten tons from the Suowan Mountain. If it weren't for the fact that his relic Yuanguang was compressed by a strong magnetic field here, Liu Dong would have extended this length to 13 meters.

However, while it is not possible to take so many stones at once, it is also possible to take stones in three parts.

After putting the three boulders into the mustard seed space, Liu Dong clapped his hands, turned around and said, "Okay, you guys turn on the flashlight!"

Hearing his orders, including Roddy, and Clark couldn't wait to turn on their flashlights.

Except for freaks like Liu Dong who have relics and yuanguang, no matter how powerful people are, they are not used to this kind of darkness that they can't see their fingers.

But when they turned on the flashlight and found the 6-square-sized black hole not far from Liu Dong's side, everyone's faces showed an incredible look.

It was only less than a minute, and they didn't hear any violent noise, how could Liu Dong be able to dig such a deep hole that was so big and not shallow?

Compared to Clark Mueller and Sinclair, Roddy and the Secret Door Killers, who had seen many extraordinary things about the Door Master along the way, were shocked, but their faces quickly calmed down.

"Roddy, you stay here with them, I'll go over and have a look!"

"Master, will I go with you too?" said Roddy hurriedly stood up.

"No need! I'm not going to fight this time, I don't need you!"

"Yes!"

"I'll be back in a while!" After waving his hand, Liu Dong turned around and walked towards the back passage. And watching his back disappear into the darkness, Clark Muller's face was so complicated, and there was a hint of fear in it. (To be continued.) )
