Squeak~!

The rock gate gradually opened, revealing the scene hidden behind it.

It is a spacious corridor with dark yellow stone pillars erected on both sides of the corridor, because the ceiling of this corridor is so high that this stone pillar is as tall as a giant in the sky. The pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info in the middle of the stone pillars are hung with oil lamps -

The oil lamps lit themselves as the gate opened, and the orange-yellow light gradually illuminated the wide passageway.

At the end of the corridor not far away, there is a blue-black gate, and on the left and right sides of the gate are a delicate and detailed black cat colossus.

"The air inside seems 'fresh'? It's not at all what it looks like it has been deposited for many years......"

Su Cheli put down the gas mask he was about to put on in confusion, and walked into the jackal pyramid through the open rock gate, and at the same time instructed the others behind him:

"Be careful not to touch the stone pillars around you, and at the same time watch your feet and not step on stones that are clearly different in color from those around you."

Seeing this, the others all put down the gas masks provided by Angelia, and then followed Su Cheli into the Jackal Pyramid one by one in order-

Ye Xiaohan was beside Su Cheli, and at the same time, she kept turning her head to guard against the movements around her, guarding against possible traps. Behind Ye Xiaohan is Angelia, and then there are Xiong Jianhua, Zhu Mengtong and Qu Wenjin, and those black-clothed bodyguards are left outside to take care of the camels.

Because Su Cheli and Ye Xiaohan had encountered the 'Feather God Sacrifice Tower' - the Mayan Pyramid in the Mayan Land, the two of them knew very well that this kind of pyramid was very likely to lay deadly mechanisms in places where you were not aware of it, so the two people in charge of the head seemed very cautious, and even the few people behind them became cautious when they saw this.

Fortunately, this 'Pyramid of Jackals' didn't seem to want to be too 'brutal' at the beginning, so the group walked to the blue and black gate without any danger.

And as the distance shortened and became closer, Su Cheli finally saw the details of this blue and black gate-

The front of this gate depicts a lake, and above it is a 'triangular' pyramid - similar to the 'Pyramid of the Jackal'.

In addition, along the wall above the blue and black gate is engraved a line of ancient Egyptian characters -

This is the boundary between life and death, and if you cross the border and offend, you will be gazed at by death.

"Su Cheli, how is it? Does the text above convey any deeper meaning? ”

Qu Wenjin asked Su Cheli curiously.

Although the students can easily understand any language that they have not learned under the influence of the Despair Academy, there is such a thing as 'cultural heritage' that requires a certain amount of knowledge to possess it.

Obviously, among all the people here, there is only Su Cheli, who has the status of a professor and has archaeological knowledge.

"Isn't that obvious—"

A hint of ridicule appeared on Su Cheli's face, and he said in a mocking tone:

"This is the curse that will be burned in front of every ancient tomb - 'Those who rob my tomb will not die well'~!"

"Puff~!"

Ye Xiaohan couldn't help but smile again, and with her delicate and beautiful face, the other two men on the side couldn't help but look sideways frequently - Ye Xiaohan was indeed a little helpless to Su Cheli's sudden way of thinking.

"Poof~, haha~, Mr. Su, I think Mr. Qu's question shouldn't mean that, right? Ha~haha~, although your answer is indeed very reasonable, hahaha~. ”

Angelia chuckled as she glanced at the text along the wall, a look of curiosity on her face - she didn't have the 'own translation' function of the students, so she naturally didn't know anything about the text along the wall.

Su Che saw that the atmosphere was almost adjusted, so he regained his calm expression, and said softly: "This is the words that will be engraved in front of every ancient tomb, no matter where or country it is, it is basically the same, so I can't see any hidden information, but ........"

"If there's anything different from the usual pyramid tombs, it's not for nothing—"

Su Cheli pointed to the river on the front of the gate and continued to explain:

"This is probably the most famous river in Egypt - the 'Nile'. It is said that after death, the souls of the Egyptians would flow down the Nile River and enter the 'Hades' to be judged, so the 'Nile' is often used to represent the boundary between life and death, just like the 'Nagawa River' in the legend of the Xia Kingdom. ”

Then, Su Cheli pointed to the black cat colossus on both sides of the gate, and said with some confusion on his face:

"What I am more concerned about than the common 'Nile' are these two 'guardian spirits' - in general, the Egyptians placed two 'guardian spirits' next to the entrance of the tomb as a guard for the tomb owner. However, these 'guardians' will generally opt for a whole statue of a prostrate jackal, or a half-werewolf statue with a head of a jackal. ”

"As for the way to choose the black cat as the 'guardian spirit', to be honest, this is the first time I have seen it, because it is too inconsistent with the traditional customs of ancient Egypt - the black cat is more of a 'ward off evil spirits' in Egyptian folklore, that is, if the black cat is placed at the entrance of the tomb, it is equivalent to 'suppressing' the owner of the tomb inside, which is really a bit unreasonable."

As he spoke, Su Cheli pointed to the triangular pyramid above the Nile River inside the gate, and said with some hesitation:

"And then, this triangular pyramid, which is where we are today, the 'Pyramid of the Jackal' -- why does it have a 'triangular' structure? Could it be because of the connection of the 'triangle' itself to Sirius......."

"I don't want to think about it yet~, I still can't figure it out, this 'Pyramid of Jackals' is too weird, it's too different from the ordinary Egyptian pyramids, let's go in first and talk about it~!"

After speaking, Su Cheli was going to push the blue and black door in front of him, but Ye Xiaohan on the side took the first step and said: "Che Li, I'll push the door~, you stay away, be careful of traps." ”

Ye Xiaohan said anxious words, and at the same time, he pushed Su Cheli away without saying anything, and successfully grabbed the position of opening the door, and then under Su Cheli's somewhat complicated gaze, Ye Xiaohan carefully and slowly pushed the blue and black gate——

Squeak~

The door was slowly pushed open, and a dusty cloud of dust flew in all directions, causing everyone to close their mouths and noses, and when the dust flashed, a somewhat drowsy passage was revealed in front of everyone.

This time the passage was much shorter, with only the rock walls and the oil lamps hanging from the rock walls, and the end of the line of sight..........

It's a fork in the road!

"A fork in the road?"

Xiong Jianhua couldn't help but question it, because in his impression, a fork in the road often means a dead end and a living road - after all, that's how movies are played.

If you choose the wrong path, isn't it 'self-defeating'?

However, Qu Wenjin on the side didn't have much fear, he just quietly tightened a black and gray pistol in his hand - Beretta M92F pistol.

That's right, Qu Wenjin now has a gun in his hand, because before he entered the pyramid, he asked Angelia for an overheated weapon, and Angelia naturally gave Qu Wenjin an Italian-made Beretta M92F pistol for her safety after entering the pyramid.

At the same time, Angelia also asked Su Cheli and others if they needed hot weapons, but Su Cheli and the others obviously did not take the overheated weapons course like Qu Wenjin, so they politely declined Angelia's kindness - they didn't know anything about hot weapons, and forcibly using hot weapons would achieve bad results, and it was not as powerful as using a competent cold weapon.

"It seems that we have to face a choice~!"

Su Cheli turned to the others and said, also asking for their opinions.

Obviously, in this environment, it is extremely stupid to march in a self-defeating way, so one of the passages must be chosen to move forward collectively.

The two passages are not different from each other in appearance, they are both rock passages with deep yellow walls, and an oil lamp is lit every few meters in the passage. At the same time, there was a slight wind flow blowing in the passages on both sides, and it seemed that the ventilation conditions of the entire jackal pyramid seemed to be surprisingly good, and the oxygen in it appeared to be very abundant and smooth, and there was no toxic air deposited.

At this time, Angelia suddenly interjected:

"Let's take the left aisle, I always feel like there's something I'm looking for on the left."

"Alright, let's choose the left passage."

Su Cheli nodded, and Ye Xiaohan continued to take the lead, while the others followed behind the two and continued to walk towards the left passage.

Because of the oil lamp, the passage itself was not dim, and with the flashlight prepared by Angelia in advance, there was almost no obstacle to everyone's vision. At the same time, all the students, including Su Cheli and Ye Xiaohan, took out the 'novice weapon' they got in their first mission in advance and carried it behind their backs for easy use at any time.

In this regard, Angelia asked Su Cheli and the others with a puzzled face, how did those messy weapons 'come' - because Angelia couldn't see the 'shackles of despair' on the students' wrists, so the picture she saw in her eyes was that Su Cheli and the others found a gap that they didn't pay attention to, and they suddenly 'transformed' into strange and strange weapons.

Therefore, Angelia at first thought that Su Cheli and the others were secretly carrying weapons on her body, but after she glanced at the Ping An Tai Knife on Su Cheli's back and the 'fire axe' on Ye Xiaohan's back, she quickly dispelled this conjecture and thought that it was a magical 'spell'.

In the end, under Angelia's constant questioning, Su Cheli and the others could only explain that this was a mysterious technique popular in the 'East Asia' region - Qimen Dunjia.

Angelia glanced deeply at a few people after listening to their simple nonsense explanations, but did not say anything more, but continued to follow the team.

Everyone remained silent and advanced in the candlelight channel, and after a while, Su Cheli and Ye Xiaohan, who were in the front, turned a corner, and suddenly found that the vision in front of them was empty, and a corridor-like passage appeared at the end of the passage on the rock wall.

"There's a 'new road' ahead, you all pay attention to each other, and be careful when you step on the trap....."

As he spoke, Su Cheli cautiously walked towards the corridor, and then used the flashlight in his hand to observe-

This is a very 'regular' corridor, compared to the rock passage where everyone is currently located, it is completely the difference between a 'national road' and a 'country road'.

The corridor is square, the walls are flattened, and the walls are painted with typical ancient Egyptian-style tomb paintings, and the various portraits on the murals look so vivid under the light of the shaking flashlight that it makes people feel a little chill in their hearts.

Su Cheli stood at the entrance of the rocky passage into the formal corridor, but he didn't rush in, but first used the flashlight in his hand to carefully look at the ground, until he confirmed that there was nothing abnormal, and then carefully stretched out a foot and stepped on the road of the corridor.

Ye Xiaohan stood aside with a nervous face, intending to pull Su Cheli back as soon as something went wrong, and the moment Su Cheli's feet gently stepped on the corridor-

Shout~!

The oil lamps lit up, startling Su Cheli and Ye Xiaohan, and even the others behind them were also shocked, but fortunately, there was no other abnormality, only the flickering oil lamps seemed to be laughing at everyone's 'grass and trees are soldiers'.

Su Cheli sniffed his nose gently, feeling the somewhat familiar unpleasant smell that wrapped around the tip of his nose, and said slowly:

"It's okay, this lamp is a whale oil lamp like the lamp outside, and it's not a 'poison lamp', so you can move forward with confidence."

The oil lamps used in ancient Egypt were all made of whale fat - that is, the brain oil of the 'sperm whale', which would produce a special smell when fully burned, which was quite unpleasant in short.

But it is precisely because of the particularity of this smell that Su Cheli can easily tell whether there is anything 'strange' in it.

Otherwise, Su Cheli really doesn't have the ability to 'smell a woman' ......... 'smell a fragrance and recognize poison'.

Because of the light of the oil lamps, everyone could see the distant scene of this corridor more clearly.

The corridor is very long and very straight, and strangely enough, it seems to be a 'downhill' passage, with the sesame shaped corridor in the distance at the lower end of the line, which means that the corridor is a slightly sloping passageway.

However, although the corridor is slightly sloping, the inclination is so small that it does not affect people walking and standing.

"It seems that there is no problem, let's go first~"

Su Cheli took the lead in entering the corridor, and walked forward cautiously, everyone followed when they saw this, at this time, Qu Wenjin looked at the murals on the wall, and said with some curiosity:

"Su Cheli, there seems to be only one picture of the mural here going back and forth~? What's going on? ”

Su Che looked at the murals on the wall when he heard this, and found that the murals before and after were really as Qu Wenjin said, all depicting the same pattern-

A round of blue balls was entangled by a huge hideous black snake, and not far from the blue ball was a round of scorching sun-shaped terrifying fireballs, which were constantly spraying red pillars of light, and the raging flames swept towards the huge hideous black snake.

"This ..... It's ....."

"'Apophis'?"
