"I think it's time for me to lose weight." Pandey panted and grumbled, seeing that the brazier of Perseus was getting closer and closer, he gritted his teeth, and by the time he stepped on the solid ground with the help of Wang Xingguo, his hands were almost unable to lift.

While Pandey was squirming on the iron cables, Dick was already standing on the solid ground at the southernmost point α of the Fairy Throne, and from here they had gotten rid of the shaky iron cables, and the climb along the way had exhausted the mayor, and he leaned against a rock, never wanting to stand up again.

"Gentlemen, I'm right, we're standing at the gates of the diamond mines!" Dick took them past the constellation Cygnus, and when he arrived, he was even more determined in his assumptions.

The mayor struggled to prop up his head and looked around, the two bright stars in the constellation Pegasus in the distance were just due south, and the brazier of Tianjin Four, the brightest in the constellation Cygnus in the southwest, was a little dazzling.

"And then?" The mayor asked weakly, shaking on the iron rope one after another, making him sweat profusely, but the water vapor held in the protective suit could not be discharged so quickly, but he felt a lack of water in his body. Under such double torture, the mayor felt that he might be suffocated in this hazmat suit without seeing the diamond.

"Follow the solid ground to the south and find the treasure room of the Heavenly Palace." Dick waved his hand and pointed in the direction of the bright star in the constellation Pegasus in the distance, due south.

"What? Since you are going south, why do you have to go around so much?! "Mayor Mare's going crazy, wouldn't he just go north from Pegasus at that time?

"Calm down! We could not go wrong by following the Red Dragon's line, and I was 100% sure that old Zacher would leave us an entrance. Dick was a little unhappy with the mayor's complaints, and really wanted to find an opportunity to kick him into the abyss.

"Okay. Let's go," Mayor Mare heard the unhappiness in Dick's tone, and for the rest of his life, Mayor Mare decided not to bother with him, "Dick, if you don't see what I should see, I'll ...... you"

"What about me? You'd better be obedient! Otherwise, you won't get any of them! Dick was furious.

Mr. Min felt a little headache, Chen Badai and he looked at each other and smiled bitterly, arguing can solve the problem, everyone doesn't need to be so tired.

"Alright, head south!" Chen Badai stood up, and if no one moved, they would argue endlessly.

Chen Badai faintly felt at this time that it was not so easy to be an expedition leader, in the past, when Wang Xingguo was there, Wang Xingguo was dealing with these headaches, he just followed behind to assist, but this time, Chen Badai became the most professional person among everyone, and people with their own purposes did not respect Chen Badai.

Old Citchell had indeed left Dick with an entrance, and he had not gone far in the solid ground when a sloping downward passage appeared before everyone's eyes. Following the passage all the way down, Chen Badai felt that the temperature was gradually rising, and when he reached the end of the passage, a stone door blocked in front of him.

"A dead end!" Mayor Marew felt that dehydration was about to torture him crazy, it had been so long, except that the crystal palace could excite him for a while, there was only toil, torture and fear along the way!

At a glance, it can be seen that the stone gate is artificially carved, and the family coat of arms of the three rings is engraved on it. Chen Badai saw a brazier on each side of the stone gate, and he lit the brazier, and two lines of Latin on the brazier appeared in the firelight.

"The red dragon's claws and hooks pierced the sky, and the stars fell to the ground, falling into the endless abyss until the light turned to ashes." Dick read softly.

"And then? Where's my diamond? I want to see my diamonds, not stars! Mayor Grumbled.

Chen Badai saw a stone-carved circle next to the brazier, somewhat similar to the ancient Chinese production tool "grinding plate", and the iron rod inserted in it remained intact in a dry environment.

"The claws of the red dragon, Sirius, hook through the sky," Dick muttered in a low voice, "Sirius." ”

"Sirius? Isn't that a scourge? Chen Badai said, "In the year when Sirius is particularly bright, it is either a famine or a war. ”

"Yes, Sirius is the sharpest claw of the red dragon, it hooks through the sky, and the earth will be plagued, this is a riddle that opens the door."

"Before the red dragon hit the ground, the dazzling stars in the sky lit his eyes, and the angry red dragon swung his claws to the left three times, tearing through the starry canopy, and then swung it to the right, tearing a piece of black in the canopy." Mr. Min said.

"Three times on the left, one on the right?" Chen Badai seemed to think of something.

"According to legend, the night sky in the north, which is almost starless, was torn by the red dragon, and the stars fell into the abyss." Mr. Min added.

"And then, they turned into diamonds?" The mayor's eyes were bright, and he felt that behind the door was the coveted diamond mine!

"Whatever, push it three times to the left, then turn to the right and try it!" Chen Badai felt that instead of guessing here, it was better to try it, so he grabbed the iron rod and pushed the "stone mill" with all his strength.

Mr. Min and Dick also came to help, and finally the mechanism moved, but it was too old and the mechanism was not lubricated enough, and they heard a "click" of jerky stones rubbing. After pushing to the left three times, Dick heard something fall to the ground as if something was "banging", and the stone door shook, revealing a little gap, and everyone pushed it around to the right again, only to hear a "crunch" sound of the machine rubbing against each other, and the stone door seemed to be broken open by some force, accompanied by a roar, and separated to both sides.

A heat wave rushed out of the door, Chen Badai looked at the temperature display on his watch, it was already 39°!

"Where's the diamond?" After the mayor stepped into the stone door, he did not see a single diamond, this was still a hall, the hall was mostly finished, some stone bars and stones were piled up in the corner, from a distance, the hall was a huge oval shape, under the illumination of the headlamp, there were rows of square things in the distance, and there were shadowy figures.

Chen Badai, who saw the figure, was shocked, he tripped under his feet, and looked down to see that it was a chisel, he picked up the chisel, and the chisel was also engraved with a three-ring pattern.

The empty underground hall was very unpleasant to the mayor, and it was even hotter, as if someone had lit countless braziers inside. Dick was also a little surprised, according to speculation, this should be the royal tomb, but why didn't he see any treasure?

Mr. Min was a little discouraged, and he had been working hard all the way to this day, but he stood in the royal tomb, but he did not gain anything.

Chen Badai was also a little annoyed, at this glance, did it look a little like the shadow of treasures and diamonds? It was a hall that had not been fully built, and the materials for the construction had not been removed in time, so it seemed that the work had been stopped suddenly.

"What is this?" Mr. Min's headlamp swayed around, trying to see the situation clearly, and out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a gray-green thing, but it was a little far away, and it was blocked by those cluttered stones and stones, so he couldn't really see it.

Chen Badai climbed onto a stone, turned his headlamp to the brightest, and suddenly lost his voice and screamed.

Mr. Min heard the scream, climbed up, looked in the direction of Chen Badai's headlamp, and was stunned.

"Could this be the miners who disappeared into the diamond mines?" When the mayor saw the scene in front of him, the hot sweat on his body receded, and the hairs on his body stood on end.

As far as the eye could see, behind the jumble of stones, there was a flat place in the hall, where countless corpses were piled up, at a cursory glance, there were hundreds, they were twisted into all kinds of terrifying shapes, some of them had their hands tightly on the necks of others, their heads were tilted and their mouths were wide open, their eyes were glaring as if they were about to fall out of their sockets, some of them smashed their pickaxes into each other's heads, the dark green brains burst to the ground, and some of them dug their hands into their opponents' abdomen......

More people curled up and twisted, their expressions already rigid, frozen in the horrors of the last moments of their lives.

Most of their clothes were torn, their skin was exposed to the air, and judging by this horrible scene, at the last moment of their lives, they were fighting, but they didn't know who they were fighting, maybe they were just instinctively attacking anyone they could.

"Well, we've never seen anything horrible!" Chen Badai finally recovered from the shock and comforted himself.

All of them had turned into dried corpses, but instead of the usual dried corpses that were black or brown, they were grayish-green, like green worms that had been dried and distorted.

Chen Badai got bold, jumped off the stone, walked into the pile of corpses, and looked at a corpse closely, his dry gray-green hand flashed a strange light under the headlamp, Chen Badai fixed his eyes, he held a pink diamond the size of a pigeon's egg tightly in his hand.

"Diamonds!" The mayor also saw it, and he squatted down, ignoring the terrifying death in front of him, and broke the dry fingers with his hand.

Dick turned a blind eye to the corpses all over the ground, and he looked into the distance, and the shadowy figures slowly appeared in the light of the headlamps, which were some solemn stone statues, some with weapons in their hands, some standing with their hands down, and next to each stone statue, there was a sarcophagus, but most of the sarcophagi were empty, and some of the sarcophagi did not have stone statues standing next to them.

Dick looked along the neatly arranged sarcophagi and stone statues, and at the end of the hall there was a high platform, on which a stone chair attracted his attention, and when Mr. Min and the others were examining the corpses, they walked through the sarcophagus and stone statues and walked towards the high platform, on which he already saw a human figure curled up.

"Old Zacher, I've finally found you." Dick walked under the high platform, perhaps with the same blood flowing in his body, he didn't need to see the specific appearance of the human form, an indescribable mood made him confirm that the man curled up on the stone chair was his ancestor.

Behind the stone chairs is the wall of the hall, the wall is carved with patterns, there are war scenes, there are birds and animals, there are peaceful market transactions, there are also camel caravans in the yellow sand, the highest part of the wall, inlaid with countless sizes of diamonds and gemstones, forming a starry pattern.

Dick walked up to the high platform and looked silently at his ancestors, who were once tall and in their prime, old Tscher in his prime, now like a dry trunk. His feet were shrunk on the stone chair, his head resting on the side of the stone chair, he was still wearing the coarse cloth of the miners hundreds of years ago, and there were many patches on his knees and elbows, and the clothes that should have fitted were now covered like a quilt on the withered body of old Zacher, and like the others, old Zacher's skin had turned a dry gray-green, and his head was tilted to one side, and his eyes were slightly closed, as if he was dead.

All the complaints and vicious words that Dick had made to this ancestor who had carried the curse on him vanished as he stood in front of old Citchell, and Dick saw his hands clasped in front of his chest, a book on his chest sliding crookedly down his lap.

Dick gently pulled the book out of old Citchell's arms, the most popular paper-bound book from hundreds of years ago, and the three-ring logo on the cover was still clearly visible, and the three rings marked the next line: Friendship between two families.

Dick sneered: Friendship? Forever? But would old Tscher have imagined that this would be the case?

In a dry environment, the centuries-old paper was well preserved, but somewhat brittle, and Dick carefully flipped open the cover and opened the first page.

On the title page, a crooked line reads: In the name of the Loulan royal family, I curse the Tchaikov family to never succeed for generations, just like Sisyphus......

There are some curse sentences at the back, but the handwriting is sloppy and Dick can't read clearly, but at the bottom of the title page, a different line of handwriting neatly reads: You are the red dragon, the red dragon is you, the red dragon guards the royal tomb, and I will guard you forever. The payment turned out to be Tchaikov.

At this time, Dick looked at the last payment time, and it turned out to be 30 years after the destruction of the diamond mine......
