Chapter Seventy-Two: An Indestructible Labyrinth
Although the team had increased from two to four, it did not help in the slightest to move forward. And these four people are also divided into two groups, Zhao Qi and Lily are together, while Ahab and Jersey are together.
"You take this, you must pay attention to the two of them, those who dare to rob tombs are not good characters, you must be careful." Zhao Qi and Lily walked at the back of the group, Zhao Qi handed Lily the black pistol in his hand, and he himself held a dagger with a short handle that he had found on Ahab's body.
"Don't worry, I'm not a burden." At this time, there was no longer a disgusting mummy, and Lily's courage seemed to be much greater, playing with the pistol in her hand, and swearing to Zhao Qi.
"I just hope you don't hit me."
……
"There are still people inside, haven't they come out?" Professor Howard yelled at a man with a bleeding head. After escaping from the pyramid, Professor Howard kept an eye on the entrance to the pyramid under the protection of the military, but waited left and right for a long time and never saw Lily walk out of the entrance.
When the last scientist escaped with a wolf howl, Professor Howard finally couldn't sit still. Grabbed the scientist and asked.
"I ...... I don't know, I didn't dare to look back after I escaped. This person was the scientist who pushed Lily away in order to escape, and at this time, he naturally didn't dare to tell the truth, so he left with a vague explanation.
Professor Howard's face changed for a while, and after a long time, he finally found the local Egyptian garrison officer, and entered the pyramid again with more than fifty Egyptian soldiers.
"Lily, you must not be fine, or ......," Edward prayed as he followed the group to the place of the incident.
But the empty hall made Professor Howard completely dumbfounded.
There was nothing in the hall, kobolds, stone lions. Not even the piles full of gold were gone.
"What the hell is going on?" Professor Howard went to the location of the original sarcophagus and took a closer look, but the result was obvious, still nothing.
"Lily, where the hell have you been?"
……
"You two." Zhao Qi stopped Ahab and Jersey in front of him.
"Yes...... What's the matter? Ahab was still quite jealous of Zhao Qi, and immediately turned around and asked a little crampedly.
"Have you encountered anything since you entered this pyramid?" Zhao Qi asked,
"No, apart from the countless forks in the road, you are the only human beings I have ever met." Ahab replied honestly, apparently he didn't understand what Zhao Qi meant.
"As you have said, you entered through the vent halfway up the pyramid. So how did you get here? It's underground. Zhao Qi continued to ask.
"We went downhill from the vent to the inside of the pyramid, and finally because I accidentally came across a lampstand, there was a slope where the two of us were, and the two of us slid down, and then we came to this labyrinth, and then we met you." Jersey replied.
"Menorah? Slope? So what's the point of the cave you were talking about? ”
"That's right, after we came to this labyrinth, we walked for a long time and never got out, so we wanted to get through this labyrinth. But after we got through, it disappeared strangely. Ahab explained.
"Gone? What do you mean? Lily asked, scurrying up from behind.
"I don't know, anyway, let's go back to the same place after we go far, and there is no longer the hole that was opened before."
Zhao Qi listened to the words of the two. He bowed his head and groaned for a while.
After a while, Zhao Qi came to the wall next to him and took a closer look.
The walls here are nothing special, they look like they are made of huge stones, but there are no gaps between them. It's hard to imagine how the Egyptians built it thousands of years ago, without cement and without concrete technology.
"What are you looking at?" Lily asked strangely as she looked at Zhao Qi's actions.
"Nothing, do an experiment." After Zhao Qi touched the wall. Then it started banging again. After choosing a position, Zhao Qi formed a fist with his right hand, used all his strength, and hit the wall next to him hard.
The huge force of "Boom ......" acted on the wall, making an exaggerated loud noise, and in the incredible eyes of Ahab and Zezexi, Zhao Qi's right hand sank straight into the wall.
"It's okay, it's not too deep." Zhao Qi pulled out his right hand and waved it again.
In just half a minute, Zhao Qi's exaggerated arm strength pierced the entire wall into a large hole that could be entered by a cat's waist, and through the big hole that was almost half a meter thick, you could clearly see the passage on the opposite side that was exactly the same as this side.
"You...... There's nothing wrong with your hands, right? Lily asked, tugging Zhao Qi's dusty right hand.
"It's okay, if we can't get out again, we'll have to 'hit' it out in this way." Zhao Qi patted his right hand and glanced at Ahab and Jersey as if unintentionally.
Ahab and Jersey are naturally not easy to get along with as tomb robbers, not only Zhao Qi has been wary of the two, but the two of them don't want to find an opportunity to restrain Zhao Qi?
It's just that under Zhao Qi's deliberate display just now, the two of them temporarily dispelled the little Jiujiu in their hearts.
"There is still a passage on the other side, is this place a labyrinth that you can never get out of?" Lily said to Zhao Qi with some annoyance.
"No matter what, it has a scope, as long as we keep moving in one direction, we can definitely get out." Zhao Qi comforted.
"So what do we do now? Keep going? Lily asked.
"No, we're waiting here now, and only by witnessing it can we know what this labyrinth beneath the pyramid is all about." After finishing speaking, Zhao Qi sat on the ground and looked at the big hole in front of him.
The other three saw Zhao Qi sitting on the ground and sat on the ground.
Five minutes later, under the surprised gaze of everyone, the wall that had been pierced by Zhao Qi before began to change in an instant, as if it had been erased and returned to its original appearance.
"This ......" Everyone who saw this strange scene opened their mouths wide, and they were shocked for a while, but Zhao Qi seemed much calmer.
"It seems that this labyrinth is inactive, except that any walls that are violently destroyed will be restored." Zhao Qi nodded and stood up from the ground.
"Then let's keep going, if we can't get out again, we risk starving to death here." Speaking of this, Zhao Qi couldn't help but smile bitterly, thinking that he was a cultivator in the Jindan period, and one day he would starve to death underground, which was really a bit ridiculous.
