Chapter 508: Curse

The little expedition had been walking in the desert all day, and Ryan took the opportunity to start teaching Hermione how to ride a horse. Although Hermione had ridden a few times as a child, at most at that time she had ridden on a flat horse farm, and had never really tried to ride a horse. So Ryan taught her how to ride a horse while she was on the road.

Fortunately, Hermione had gained excellent body coordination and flexibility from several previous strengthenings, which allowed her to gallop on a horse in just over half an hour. On the way, in order to prevent the descendants of the Pharaoh's Guard from intercepting them in advance. Ryan unleashed a covert spell on the entire team to disguise their figures, while Rose Crystal called Jill out, using her intelligence-erasing abilities to erase all traces they left along the way.

Just as they had walked for an afternoon and another night, the stars faded in the deep blue sky, and the eastern sky began to slowly light up again. Evelyn shouted, "We're here now." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, a bright red line was embedded in the distant horizon, and then a golden ball of light appeared in front of him, and the sun rose like this, showing its power at the same time. The temperature around him immediately rose rapidly, and he could still feel the cold wind burrowing into his clothes when the sun was not rising, but now the whole person was as hot as in the heating room.

At the same time, on the desolate Gobi Desert, which was originally empty not far ahead, the air blurred for a while, and out of thin air appeared a city made of yellow stone and adobe bricks.

"Hamnata, this is Hamnatar! It's a miracle, and I swear I've never seen such a strange sight in my life. Jonathan let out his excitement loudly.

Ryan, on the other hand, used the method recorded in the Shangqing Dao Law to open the eyes of heaven, and then looked at the ruins in front of him. The scenery suddenly changed in sight, and the dazzling golden sunlight on the Gobi Desert was almost completely obscured. The ruins were covered with a black mist as thick as a mountain, and from time to time a human face stood out.

Hermione also looked at Ryan at this time, and it was obvious that she was sensitive to the aura of death, and she also sensed the hidden power in the ruins.

But that's what Ryan was aiming for, so Ryan loosened the reins, and after clamping his legs either side of the horse's belly, the horse under his crotch sprinted forward like a charged arrow. And Hermione rode up after seeing this.

Once inside the ruins, they, led by Evelyn, walked directly to a statue in the distance. Upon approaching, Ryan found the statue with a wolf's head and a human body. It should be Anubis, the god of death in ancient Egyptian mythology.

It's a place where Evelyn is at home and her knowledge is put to good use. Soon she found several metal discs, according to her, this is an ancient Egyptian mirror, which is a special tool specially created by people in ancient times in order to illuminate the underground with the help of the reflection of the sun's rays, and finding this also means that there is a nearby road that can go down into the main ruins.

Hermione soon found a hole in the ground through the breath of death seeping from the ruins, and then held the mirror in place to provide a light source for the underground.

The four of them used their magic to slow down, and then Evelyn found an ancient mirror and slightly adjusted the direction of the mirror. In an instant, the entire dark space was illuminated. It turns out that there are many ancient mirrors in the room, and these mirrors are cleverly fixed in specific positions, and the light can be constantly reflected to illuminate the whole room after it comes in.

"This is the preparation room, where the ancient Egyptians made mummies. What we're looking for won't be here. After looking around, Evelyn gave her judgment with certainty, so everyone had to move on.

Ryan took out four headlamped hard hats and brought them to everyone, and then walked through a long tunnel to another room under the headlamp.

"This should be the leg of the Grim Reaper sculpture above. Looking at the stone platform in the corner of the room with its delicate carvings, Evelyn said that this was a clear situation, because there were two black legs on the stone platform.

"The secret compartment should be somewhere at the bottom, and according to the description on the stele in the Cairo Museum, the Golden Sutra of the Sun is hidden at the foot of the statue of the Grim Reaper in the Tower of Hamna......," Evelyn muttered to herself, as she kept looking at the stone platform. Finally, after knocking on the entire stone platform, she excitedly tried to pry a stone slab open with a crowbar in her hand.

"Shouldn't archaeology be a little bit of a glove or something, Evelyn is doing that?" Hermione asked with a shocked look on her face when she saw the slag that Evelyn was priry with a crowbar.

I remember that Schlieman, who was digging Troy, dug up a huge trench directly above the ruins in order to get the Trojan ruins he wanted as quickly as possible, causing damage or confusion with many of the excavated antiquities. Ryan replied, recalling a book he had read. "Of course, we can't let them do that kind of brutality here now. ”

After saying that, Ryan stepped forward to stop Evelyn, who was trying in vain to pry open the slate: "Miss Evelyn, you need to consider that normal people would set many traps around this kind of treasure, such as trap traps or worse, magic curses. And pry like you is easy to hit directly. ”

"You're right, I forgot about it when I was so excited. Evelyn dropped the crowbar in her hand. "So what do you think we're going to do? Are you willing to unleash magic?"

"Well, no. Ryan shook his head. "Because we feel that the whole ruin is shrouded in a special kind of magical enchantment, and if we use magic, it is likely that some bad consequences will occur. But we have an alternative. ”

A minute later, under the shocked gaze of the Evelyn siblings, two human-sized spider-like steel robots crawled out of a dark blue door, and then inserted several pieces of steel into the gap and began to drag the steel cables attached to them outward.

The power of the machine is definitely not comparable to that of humans, and it was not a few minutes with a bang. A single black slate was removed, and a large amount of high-pressure white liquid was spewed out. The two steel cables were corroded and broken in an instant.

"That's some kind of strong acid. Hermione said after seeing this, and then turned to Evelyn and Jonathan next to her, "So I hope you will listen to us for a while, and don't make your own decisions." Otherwise, some fatal wounds would not be able to be salvaged even if we had magic. ”

"Of course, of course. Evelyn and Jonathan were also frightened by the scene just now, the strong acid that can corrode the steel in an instant is estimated to kill people on the spot if it corrodes people.

After a while, after making sure there were no other mechanisms, they pulled out a large box from the hole behind the stone slab. Blowing dust off the box, Evelyn looked at the hieroglyphs written on the lid and read, "Whoever opens this box will be killed." As soon as this box is opened, the resentful spirits that were originally sealed by the Holy Law will break the curse and return to the human world. He will kill all those who open the box, take their internal organs and blood, and resurrect them. From a cursed evil spirit, turned into a demon that plagues the world. ”

As soon as the words fell, a strange sound echoed in the space. Everyone felt as if something had been activated.

"It's just a common intimidation in ancient Egyptian tombs, we-" Jonathan was trying to calm the crowd when he suddenly saw Ryan and Hermione staring at him with extremely serious expressions. "-This, it can't be true, right?"

"It's true. Ryan nodded, "There's an extremely powerful magic item in there, and in addition to the source of several curses. Once the box was opened, we felt it was highly likely that these curses written on the lid would come true. ”

"So what are we going to do? I think what we're looking for is in this box. Are we going to go back empty-handed, you're wizards!" Evelyn looked a little excited.

"Not really. Ryan nodded. "We are professionals in the face of this kind of resentment, but we have to do a lot of preparation in advance. ”
