319. Treasure Chest Trap!
The mummification-making room was empty, without any valuable antiques and nothing to look at.
O'Connor cleared the way ahead with a torch, ready to explore the fabled city of the dead.
Originally, Wang You prepared a flashlight, but Zhan Lan felt that holding a torch would be more atmospheric, so let's dim the light!
Led by O'Connor, he had just walked into the first passage from the room when he suddenly heard a strange sound coming from the wall.
Suddenly, everyone was startled, comparable to the scary sound effects in horror movies.
Fortunately, this strange and scary sound passed quickly.
The voice of Si Si Suo Soo sounded very similar ...
"Sounds like ... Bugger. O'Connor said.
"He said it was a worm." Eve repeated to the others behind her.
"Those must be scarabs, right?" Zhan Lan whispered to Wang You.
Scarabs are the scariest thing in this underground temple besides mummies, they are very numerous and like to be in groups.
In addition, they are particularly fond of meat, and their bite force is amazing, and they can easily bite through cowhide boots.
The scarab beetle burrows into the human body, all the way up, and eventually burrows into the human brain, eating up the brain.
Wang You feels disgusted when he thinks about it, but in front of his sister, how can a man pretend to be cowardly?
"Scared? If you're afraid, I'll send you up. Wang You said with a smile.
"Who's afraid? Aren't they just bugs! Zhan Lan replied with a trembling voice.
Zhan Lan is also a dead duck with a hard mouth, but his body is very honest, and he grabbed Wang You's arm tightly and didn't let go.
O'Connoive, who knew nothing about the danger, was bold enough to continue their exploration.
So, the unknown is not the biggest fear.
Because of Eve's guidance, they didn't go far before they found a tall black statue of death.
"Grim Reaper's legs, the secret compartment should be somewhere at the bottom."
Before Eve could take a closer look, she heard a strange wind sound, as if something was approaching.
O'Connor handed Eve the torches, then pulled out his two revolvers, leaning his back against the statue of Death.
"Why should we do this?" Wang You asked Zhan Lan in confusion.
He was pulled by Zhan Lan at the moment and also leaned against the statue of death.
"Don't you find it exciting?" Zhan Lan replied excitedly.
"Please, it's just a few ordinary people, you can kill the goods with a wave of your hand, what are you nervous about?" Wang You said speechlessly.
"Ah!!h
With shouts, the two gangs of tomb robbers raised their guns at the same time, and yes, the Yankees also found this place.
It seems that they didn't save much time even if they took a shortcut.
"I was almost scared to death by you... The Yankees breathed a sigh of relief.
"Each other, each other." O'Connor replied.
Seeing that it was a human being and not a monster, Eve said, "We still have a lot of work to do. ”
She couldn't wait to dig up the Grim Reaper statue and find the secret compartment.
According to her guess, the Golden Sutra of Resurrection should be hidden there.
However, the archaeology professor brought by the Americans did not think so.
He said bluntly: "Get out of here, this is our territory." ”
Eve said angrily, "This is where we arrived first. ”
Then, the atmosphere was tense for a moment, and the guns that had just been put down by both sides were raised at the same time.
"Dude, this is our statue." One of the Americans wants to claim sovereignty.
However, O'Connor replied, "Why isn't your name engraved on it?" ”
"But there are only six of you, and we have fifteen." The American said with a smile.
Wang You, who was just helping to pretend to be in the back, couldn't help but say to Zhan Lan: "Otherwise, I'll kill them all." ”
"Don't mess around, we need them to trigger the curse." Zhan Lan whispered in Wang You's ear.
"OK, count them lucky, they can live a little longer."
It seems that these four Americans died quite miserably later, so it is better to let him die a happy death with one shot.
"Your odds aren't good, O'Connor."
The Americans, who do not know that they have escaped, are still provoking without knowing whether they are alive or dead.
"Don't bluff me."
Not to be outdone, O'Connor is amazing!
At this time, Eve noticed something strange left on the ground, which seemed to be the corpse of a beetle.
"Listen to me, friend, don't quarrel, if you want to play together, you have to learn to share."
After thinking about it, Eve stepped forward and reached out and pressed the muzzle of the American's gun down.
Then, she turned to O'Connor and said, "Let's go, there's somewhere else to dig." ”
O'Connor gave the other side a look of good luck, put the gun away, and temporarily withdrew from the fight for the statue of the Grim Reaper.
Led by Eve, they went down another level.
"According to these hieroglyphs, we are now under the statue."
That's right, Eve didn't give up, she was going to repair the plank road in the dark, and start digging up from under the statue of the Grim Reaper.
"It should be dug between his legs." Eve instructs O'Connor to dig hands-on.
Jonathan said: "When those dead beauties have slept... ”
Halfway through speaking, he remembered that O'Connor was also American, so he apologized:
"O'Connor, don't mind."
What can O'Connor say? It can only be ... Never mind.
Jonathan continued, "When they fall asleep, we dig up and steal the scripture. ”
"Are you sure we can find it?" O'Connor asked as he dug upwards.
"As long as the dead Americans don't find it first." Eve next to him replied.
After saying that, Eve realized that she had also said the wrong thing, and apologized to O'Connor: "Oh, don't mind. ”
How can O'Connor answer to the girl he likes? Of course it is ... Never mind.
Because it was digging upwards, it was dusty in this room.
Zhan Lan, who pulled Wang You to the side, couldn't help but burst out laughing when he saw O'Connor, who had been lying down twice.
Wang You also couldn't help but laugh and endure very hard, poor O'Connor.
Attracted by the laughter, O'Connor said helplessly: "Hey, man, why did those friends of yours go?" ”
"yes, didn't you say you were going to protect and help?" Eve asked.
It seems that Eve is still a little unhappy with the concession just now.
The Grim Reaper, that was the first thing she discovered.
"Our captain went to the police because he was worried that those men in black would come to make trouble." Wang You shrugged and said.
"The others are tired from the past two days and need to take a break." Zhan Lan explained with a smile.
"Why did you come out with a child?" Jonathan asked, puzzled.
He was referring to Xiao Honglu, too, how could there be a reason to go out on an expedition and take a twelve-year-old child?
"Uhhh Zhan Lan didn't know what to say.
Who let the Lord God pull in the people, regardless of gender or age?
Over there, the excavations of the Americans have also made great progress.
The archaeology professor still had two brushes, and after studying it for a while, he was able to locate the secret compartment.
One of the Americans, armed with a crowbar, was ready to open the box for the draw.
However, the professor immediately stopped him.
"Be careful."
The professor said solemnly: "Seti I is not a stupid person, I think it should be... Let the worker pry it open. ”
Well, if it's dangerous, you should let the temporary worker do it! The professor's meaning is clear.
"The professor has a point, Henderson." Another American also persuaded.
"Okay, let them come." Henderson said in a good way.
The professor then proceeded to direct three Egyptian workers to pry open a stone slab at the base of the statue of the Grim Reaper.
No sooner had the slate been pried open than a stream of water erupted from the crack and poured down on the three Egyptian workers.
That's right, treasure chests are always guarded by traps, and this time the trap is high-pressure concentrated hydrochloric acid.
Although I don't know much about how this principle is, the trap has not failed for three thousand years.
However, the trap worked very well, and the three Egyptian workers were melted directly...
The next moment, the three Americans, the professor, and Benny, the leader of the party, began to scream together.
"Ahh!!h
