When Zhang Xiaowu was a "escape", he was delayed for nearly two hours, and when he came back, he found that the team stopped on the shore of the Milky Way and did not act rashly.

Betty glanced at him, but didn't say anything, as if she wasn't curious as to why he had been gone for two hours.

"What are these people doing here?"

Zhang Xiaowu was a little bored, and it had been a while since he came back from the system space.

"Miss Sean, what are we here for?" In the horrified eyes of the others, Zhang Xiaowu actually wanted Betty to ask a question. No one dared to question Betty, let alone ask questions in person, and they even felt that Zhang Xiaowu would die in the next moment. But what surprised them even more was that Betty answered his question without any discoloration.

"Find someone, my cousin, Kyle. He is an archaeology enthusiast and has always been fascinated by that ancient history. ”

"Oh?" Zhang Xiaowu said that he did not believe it, because the Kyle she said was a descendant of the Lord family, and it was too unlikely that he would risk his life for the sake of archaeology. And she Betty seems to know a lot about that history, so where did they get the information? You must know that what she said is appalling, and it is impossible for normal history to make such a record, and it is not very reasonable to make such a definite inference based on legend alone, and to venture to come.

"He has another purpose, and that is to find the sword of the king of Morosian." Betty said.

What is the sword of the king of Moroxian County, with Zhang Xiaowu's culture, I have indeed never heard of it.

"It was the sword that Olympias gave to his son Alexander the Great, and it was lost. In fact, both of our families are thousands of years old, even dating back more than 2,000 years, during the reign of Alexander the Great. During his crusade against the Persian Empire, Alexander conquered ancient Egypt, where he was given the title of pharaoh and god, and exchanged swords with the pharaoh. And after the death of the Emperor, both swords disappeared. At that time, the empire was falling apart, and no one would care about it. The ancestors of our two tribes also lived incognito and fled to Great Britain to survive. ”

According to the family history, Alexander the Great died young, and his teacher Aristotle judged at that time that the emperor died of poisoning, and someone must have caused the harm. But at that time, I had never heard of the poison that delayed the attack, so there was no way to find out. However, in recent years, with the development of science and technology, it is inferred from the situation at the time that the Emperor is likely to die of the West Nile virus. ”

"During the Emperor's crusades, it was impossible to come into contact with the waters of the Nile, let alone come to East Africa. The only possible one is the sword that the Pharaoh gave him. The source of the West Nile is in the Greater Triangle, where the virus originated. So he decided to come to the Great Triangle, and if he could find the sword of King Morosian, he would prove that Alexander the Great's death was the work of the pharaohs of that area. ”

Speaking of this, Betty's emotions were actually a little excited, as if the cause of Alexander the Great's death was of great significance to her.

Zhang Xiaowu knows very little about that history. It's just that this guy named Alexander is one of the most powerful monarchs in the West, a figure who is like a living god. But this guy died young, died at the age of 33, died of fever, or some other disease, anyway, it's a mystery. A god of war who could sweep across the Eurasian continent and conquer the Persian Empire in the backward era more than 2,000 years ago and make the ancient country (ancient India) surrender actually died of illness for no reason in the prime of life, and anyone would be puzzled.

But what do the two families of Sean and Lord have to do with the god of war at that time? Could it really be his mother's family?

Zhang Xiaowu's random guess was really right. The ancestors of Sean and Lord were indeed Alexander the Great's hardcore men, but they had nothing to do with the family of the Emperor's wife, Olympias, because all the people in that line died in the later riots. They are the maiden descendants of Statira, the second wife of Alexander the Great, and have some ancient Persian ancestry.

Zhang Xiaowu didn't care about the affairs of other families, he was just thinking about what was the magic of the sword of the king of Moroxian, the weapon used by the legendary god of war was hidden by the pharaoh in this cursed land, and these big families flocked to it. If it's just for archaeology, it's really a fool.

"Miss."

"Huh?"

At this time, after the leader whispered a few words, the butler came to Betty's side and whispered something.

Although the voice was extremely low, with Zhang Xiaowu's hearing, he could also hear it clearly, as if he had found something over there.

In this regard, Betty did not mean to hide it, and led the team towards the upstream of the Water Galaxy.

I didn't go far, and I found a path that turned in the direction of the road, and a few people were guarding there.

After some probing and making sure that there was no danger, the large group began to walk along the path, upward.

The trail winds and turns, all the way up, and after three or four kilometers, there are two breaks in the middle before I once again see a relatively wide platform.

This platform was already seven or eight hundred meters higher than the place they had entered before, and from the field of view, they could already see the pyramid and those columns.

"Ah, look!"

With an exclamation, everyone's eyes looked downward, and a terrifying scene appeared.

On the platform at the base of the pyramid, thousands of people lay on their stomachs, motionless, looking extremely infiltrating. What's even more terrifying is that in addition to these "complete people", there are countless broken stumps and fragments scattered layer after layer, covering almost all the surface of the gold.

"Oh my God, how many people have to die here." Even those mercenaries who licked blood from the knife edge felt their stomachs churning when they saw this scene, and their legs were weak with fright.

And an even more terrifying scene reappeared.

I saw a relatively intact person suddenly explode, and dense golden beetles crawled out of it.

The beetles came out and began to frantically gnaw at the golden ground below, but after a click, only a faint bite mark was left on the golden ground.

And suddenly a silver light flashed on the golden ground, and those golden beetles melted into golden water, slowly melted into the golden ground, and disappeared.

But the beetles were undaunted, and kept repeating the process of gnawing. Every once in a while, one or two corpses would burst open, and countless beetles would swarm out.

"Corpse spirits, gold-devouring corpse worms." Betty's face was unusually solemn.

Legend has it that this golden beetle can devour people's brains, control corpses, and inject large amounts of gold and eggs into flesh and blood, so that as long as the larvae do not break out, the corpse will not decay even for thousands of years.

The corpses in front of me have been accumulated for an unknown period of time, and some of them are still wearing medieval clothes, black and white. And a large number of people who go missing in the neighborhood every year are probably brought here by something.

Thinking back to the things encountered on the road before, those mercenaries with golden eyes, the painful expressions before death, I am afraid that they were not curses at all, but were devoured by insects and injected eggs.
