Chapter 305: Enter
Tents were set up, bonfires were lit, horses and camels were organized, and food and fresh water were prepared. After resting and calculating the time, the team led by Tang Bai and the American treasure hunting team sneaked into the excavated pit before and after.
"Before I enter, I still want to make sure that what you said to me and my sister before, those promises, are still valid, right?" Before tying himself up and preparing to enter, Jonathan grabbed Tang Bai's arm beside him, and asked with his fingers nervously under Tang Bai's inquiring gaze.
"What?" Evelyn frowned, and before Tang Bai could speak, she took her brother's words.
"It's the question of ownership of something that's all about the loveliness of gold." Jonathan was a little embarrassed and went around in a fog.
When Evelyn heard this, she stepped forward and silently stretched out her palm against Jonathan's body, and under Jonathan's stunned gaze, her palm was gently forced. Then a soaring tenor resounded back and forth in the cave.
"Don't worry about my brother's nonsense." Evelyn smiled a little embarrassedly at Tang Bai.
Tang Bai nodded to Evelyn in relief, and dropped a sentence, "It's our turn." "I didn't have any rope tied to my body, and I didn't have any safety measures, so I jumped straight through the big hole. This startled Evelyn and the others next to her.
The pothole is at least three or four meters away from the ground below, and if you jump off this distance, you may have to suffer some injuries if you are not careful. Evelyn glanced into the hole, and only after finding that Tang Bai was standing firmly on the ground unharmed, did she breathe out the breath that she had been frightened just now.
The tower of Hamna, where it is buried, is large and, according to Evelyn, has many layers. Tang Bai and the others are now entering a layer close to the ground. It is also the place where the statue of Anubis, the god of death, is located. Although there may be other entrances to the Tower of Hamna, at Evelyn's suggestion, Tang Bai wasted some time and energy to make a hole near the statue of Anubis of the Grim Reaper.
The Americans, on the other hand, hired hard laborers to relocate the gravel at the entrance.
……
"The statue of Anubis is buried deep underground, and according to some archaeologists I know, somewhere on the legs and bottom of the statue, there will be a hidden, untold secret compartment. This compartment houses an ancient book. I've been looking for it, and it's said that it contains all the secret spells of Egypt. Evelyn entered, looked around and said alone.
"Who did you listen to?" Tang Bai glanced at Evelyn.
"My parents, they are familiar with the history of Egypt. From a young age, they told me a lot about the history and mythology of Egypt. That famous ancient book fascinated me with Egypt. Evelyn pleaded, "If you can find that book here......"
Before Evelyn finished speaking, Tang Bai had already guessed what her next sentence was. He promised, "I'll let you read the book when it's safe and necessary." ”
The plot in my mind and the real world are definitely not the same. It's like it's adapted from real events, and in order to add interest and readability, there will definitely be some corresponding embellishments and beautifications, and it can't be 100% consistent with real events.
This point has been clearly recognized by Tang Bai in the previous worlds. For example, the world of vampires. A small number of ordinary people can hardly outmaneuver a vampire. Three meters from behind, it is even more impossible to shoot with a crossbow in that case. Mature vampires will definitely be raised to a rather terrifying level with all their senses and sensitivities when doing things.
Stefan once had a great record of slaughtering a small village, and it was an irrefutable fact that he did it. And he was just a vampire less than a hundred years old.
And the final battle between Immorton and Evelyn and others, no one with a normal IQ would be killed so cowardly. Don't say anything else, let's just say that in the final battle, Immorton was so generous a few meters away from her, allowing Evelyn, who was unconcealed and hiding, to recite the incantation of the Golden Sutra of the Sun, until she recited it, she was suddenly surprised. Can such a scenario be imagined in reality?
What's more, since entering this cave, the unspeakable sense of depression and discomfort in Tang Bai's heart seems to have become a little heavier.
"Ahem! The air here is really not good. Where do we start? Jonathan shook off a white handkerchief, frowned and covered his nostrils, coughed twice with a flushed face, turned around in a half circle, looked around and asked.
"Let's look for the bottom of Anubis first, can you see where this is, Eve?" Tang Bai walked to a corner, gently turned the ancient mirror wrapped in spider silk and almost abandoned around him with the magic wand in his hand, aimed the mirror at the sunlight penetrating from the pit, and adjusted the angle.
With the reflection of the mirror, a series of rays of light illuminated the dark cavern.
Evelyn looked around for a moment and said with certainty, "It's a embalming room and a preparation room." ”
"Prepare what?" O'Connor interjected, and the torch-holding body moved a little closer to Evelyn's place.
"Prepare for the afterlife. This is where they mummify. The people of ancient Egypt believed that people would be resurrected, so they would have preserved the corpses well. Many myths and stories that have been handed down from ancient Egypt are closely related to mummies. Osiris, the second generation of Hades who is always rumored to be dying and resurrecting, is the first mummy in the world and the first resurrected mummy. Evelyn explained without looking back, as she looked around.
"The second generation of Hades? Who was the first generation? O'Connor seemed to want to say something more to Evelyn, and stuck to her side and continued to ask. For Evelyn's closeness to Tang Bai, O'Connor felt very uncomfortable in his heart.
"The first Hades was Anubis, the god of death, but because of his worship of Osiris, he descended from Hades to the god of death. Legend has it that in ancient times, people worshipped Anubis before Osiris. Evelyn explained without looking back, "One more thing, Osiris is Anubis's father. It was the child of Osiris and Nephthys. Of course, it's all legend. ”
"Hey, there's a passage over here." Evelyn suddenly turned around and beckoned to Tang Bai and them, then took the lead in flicking the cobwebs around her and walked in.
O'Connor held a torch in one hand and a revolver in the other, and guarded Evelyn's side with a wary face. For this strange place, which had brought him nightmares, he had an instinctive sense of coldness and crisis.
Tang Bai and Ero also walked in one after another.
Suddenly, Evelyn and O'Connor in front of them paused suddenly, and the torches in their hands scanned the surroundings vigilantly, and even with Eero behind them, they also became nervous. There was a moment of silence in the narrow passage where only two people could barely walk side by side, and Eero and the others all watched Evelyn and them with bated breath.
The cramped space, the sudden silence, and the spirit of holding it tightly made everyone's hearing and feeling more acute than usual. A subtle but continuous sound, in the sudden silence, like a scratching of the hair, broke into their ears.
Ero's back heart immediately had a cold feeling like a man's back, and his hairs stood up at this moment.
"It's fine, it's just bugs. Keep moving. Tang Bai spoke at the right time to appease him. The neat and dense sound of countless insects advancing, it was easy for Tang Bai to guess a famous creature in this world, the scarab beetle.
This kind of insect that likes to swarm together like ants and bees may be an extremely terrifying existence for ordinary people, but for Tang Bai, if there is no accident, no matter how many scarab beetles there are, it is impossible to pose any big threat to him.
However, Tang Bai, who was more or less infected by Nott, was lying to say that he was not a little curious about this special, more or less legendary carnivorous insect. If he had the chance, he would like to catch two scarabs and study them.
Of course, Tang Bai's research is more about cultivating a new creature. There are too many ways to cultivate all kinds of magical creatures in Harry's world, the most famous of which is the basilisk, and these methods have never been cherished by Tang Bai.
"Look what I found? Grim Reaper's legs! ”
Evelyn shouted in surprise in front of her, and then hurried out.
When Tang Bai and the others stepped out of the corridor and re-entered another secret room, they also saw what Evelyn saw.
Grim Reaper's legs?
That's nothing to look at.
All eyes were on the irregular cuboid that the Grim Reaper's legs were stepping on.
"I need to pry it open." Evelyn's palm rubbed against the stone wall carved with inscriptions, and she turned her head to Tang Baidao.
"I'll come." O'Connor shoved the torch in his hand into the arms of a man next to him, and the gun he was carrying was also stuffed back into the holster, snatching an iron cry from someone's hand and stepping forward.
"Wait, the things in the tomb are not something that can be pried into or destroyed." Ero hurriedly reminded him.
"Oh? Do you think there's any danger in this? O'Connor plunged the iron pry into the crack in the stone wall, turning his head and squinting at Eyro.
"You can't expect there to be no traps here, can you?" Ero's previous sentence was just blurted out subconsciously, and he was stared at by O'Connor's eyes, and he suddenly took a step back and raised his hand. (To be continued.) )
