Chapter 330: The sarcophagus

The light emitted by the glow sticks is somewhat faint.

However, it can also be illuminated in the dark environment of the pyramid.

In particular, this kind of military equipment is durable, although it is a disposable, but the light emitting time can last for nearly six or seven hours.

It can deal with the next actions of Chang Emir and others as much as possible.

Reaching for a glow stick from the mercenary's hand, Emir Chang relied on the faint light to touch the walls of the pyramid corridor and barely make out the carved patterns on it.

It can be seen that the age of the pyramid seems to be very ancient, and the patterns on the walls have been very blurred, but through these vague patterns, Chang Emir can still vaguely see some unusual places, the walls are carved with neither people, nor scenery or buildings, but some strange and twisted creatures.

"What is this?"

Leaning forward, the mercenary leader couldn't help frowning as he looked at the carved patterns on the walls of the pyramid.

"I don't know," he shook his head, and the look on Emir Chang's face showed a puzzled expression, and his gaze retracted from a pattern that looked like an insect on the wall: "I am not a professional archaeologist, the frescoes are too old, and based on the style alone, they probably existed thousands of years ago, or they may have been written thousands of years ago, or they were simply imagined by the people who built the pyramids." ”

"Thousands of years ago, that was long enough."

The head of the mercenaries is not an archaeologist, so he doesn't have much sympathy for what Chang Emir speculated.

He sighed after listening to the reasoning of the former Wakanda philosopher, but then turned his gaze to the depths of the pyramid connected to the other side of the corridor.

The glow sticks in their hands had a limited range of light, and the farther distance was again obscured by the darkness inside the pyramid.

Emir Chang opened his cloudy eyes and looked to the other side of the pyramid, the deep darkness at the end of the corridor engulfing it, and the air seemed to have a corrupt smell lingering on the tip of his nose.

The whole environment gives a gloomy and cold feeling.

Everything inside the pyramid seems strange and mysterious, however, Chang Emir and the others who broke into it are clearly not going to retreat because of this.

Using the faint fluorescence in their hands, everyone cautiously continued to go deeper.

Inadvertently, Emir's fingertips slid across the walls of the pyramid, and a cold touch that seemed to freeze his fingers flashed through his fingertips in an instant, causing him to stop involuntarily.

"Why stopped?!"

Noticing Emir's pause, the mercenary leader walking behind him immediately asked.

"Nothing."

Quietly withdrawing his fingers, Emir Chang swept his face sideways over the picture on the wall beside him, his eyes lingering on the insect pattern in it for a moment, but he immediately replied.

"Don't bother me if it's okay."

Hearing Emir's answer, the mercenary leader cursed with a dissatisfied expression, raised his hand and rubbed his arm.

The corridor inside the pyramid is long, but there are no forks.

The heavy footsteps of Chang Emir and the mercenaries were amplified by the empty corridor, and the sweat from the trek in the scorching desert had completely cooled down by this time, and the moistened underwear and coat were attached to their bodies, making them feel cold when they walked.

After several corners in a row, everyone felt the chill on their bodies a little heavier with each turn, and after another turn, a huge stone gate appeared, blocking their path.

Raising the glow stick in his hand, Chang Emir pointed at the gate, only to see that the mysterious characters and patterns carved on the door were more and denser than those on the walls of the pyramid corridor, Chang Emir raised his neck slightly, and then noticed that those character patterns converged to form a strange six-legged insect, occupying the center of the gate.

For some reason, seeing the pattern on the gate, a huge palpitation suddenly appeared in the hearts of Chang Emir and the others, as if there was something terrifying hidden behind the door, watching them quietly.

"Gollum~"

Under the effect of the inexplicable sense of terror, the mercenary leader standing beside Chang Emir subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

The saliva is deep in the Pyramid of Silence, but it is extraordinarily clear.

Reluctantly suppressing the inexplicable feeling that emerged in his heart, Emir Chang, who was standing in front of the gate, and the head of the mercenary looked at each other silently, and then cooperated and stretched out his hand to put it on the huge stone door in front of him.

Click-

Originally, the two of them thought that such a huge stone gate would not be too easy to push, and it would not even be possible for them to move this gate alone. The leader of the mercenaries also had a plan to call the accomplices behind him to come forward.

However, just by touching the door, the strange pattern on the door suddenly emitted a faint blue light, and the next moment there was a dull sound of a mechanism touching. The ancient stone doorway slowly opened with a tooth-aching grinding sound, and a smell of corruption heavier than that of the hallway came over the face, accompanied by a darkness as thick as substance.

Even the glow sticks in the hands of Emir Chang seemed to suddenly dim a little in an instant.

“……”

Looking at the darkness behind the door, I couldn't see a trace of the inside.

The greed in the heart of the mercenary leader, who was originally blinded by the treasure and vibranium channels, instantly sobered up a little, and was replaced by a slight retreat.

What happened inside the pyramid was obviously beyond his imagination, especially what was happening in front of him.

It's just that before he could make a decision, Emir Chang, who was standing beside him, had already walked into the stone gate without hesitation.

"Boss ......"

Looking at the back of Emir Chang who was covered by darkness, the mercenary standing behind him subconsciously reminded him.

The mercenary leader looked back at the members of his team, then behind the stone door.

Eventually, his mind reappeared with what Emir Chang had promised before, and he remembered the great fortune that Ulysses Crowe had gained after receiving vibranium.

The fear in his heart was suppressed by greed, and he gritted his teeth and walked behind the door.

……

Behind the stone door, there was an empty room, because of the darkness, it was difficult for the mercenary leader to see how big this room was, and with the faint light of the glow stick in his hand, he could also vaguely see some fallen stone pillars at the edge of the space. Following the light, the mercenary leader quickly found Chang Emir, who had walked in first.

The old black man stood in the middle of the room, as if looking down for something.

Following the light source, the mercenary leader came to Chang's emir.

Then he noticed that what he was looking at was a huge sarcophagus.

This sarcophagus is very huge, and the surface of the sarcophagus is carved with a pattern similar to that of the stone door, and looking directly at this pattern, a huge sense of depression resurfaces in the heart of the mercenary leader.

Subconsciously removed his eyes, the mercenary leader's expression stiffly swept everything in the room, although the space in the room was huge, but the things placed were unexpectedly scarce, under the light of the light stick in his hand, except for the sarcophagus in front of him, there was no other conspicuous thing.

Naturally, there is no so-called treasure that they have been thinking about before.

"Boss, there's nothing."

Immediately afterwards, the mercenary team that searched the room also made a report with a disappointed face.

Hearing the team's report, the mercenary leader didn't know whether to regret or rejoice in his heart, and he turned his eyes to look at Chang Emir, who had been staring at the sarcophagus motionless since just now.

"Old man, it looks like there's nothing to use in this pyramid, so let's go."

As he spoke, the mercenary leader's gaze subconsciously skimmed over the sarcophagus on the side, in fact, he didn't tell the truth, although they didn't find anything in the room, there was still a sarcophagus in front of him that had not been opened.

It's just that, looking at the huge sarcophagus in his eyes, the voice that keeps emerging from the mercenary leader's heart keeps warning him, as if something terrifying will happen when this sarcophagus is opened.

Under the inner warning, the mercenary leader took the initiative to ignore the sarcophagus.

"There are no gaps."

However, in the face of the urging of the mercenary leader, Emir Chang still maintained his motionless posture, looked at the huge sarcophagus in front of him, and slowly opened his mouth to say a sentence.

"What?"

Hearing the vague voice of Emir Chang, the mercenary leader subconsciously asked.

"I mean, there's no gaps in this sarcophagus."

Turning his head slowly, Chang Emir looked at the white mercenary on the side, stretched out his hand and pointed to the sarcophagus in front of him, and said softly.

Following Emir's words, the mercenary leader looked at the sarcophagus in front of him, and under the reminder of the old black man, he immediately noticed the strangeness of the sarcophagus in front of him.

Under the reflection of the glow sticks, you can clearly see that there are no joints around the sarcophagus in front of you, and there is no slightest gap, as if the entire sarcophagus is integrated.

"Maybe the gap is at the bottom, where we can't see."

After staring at the sarcophagus for a while, the feeling of depression in his heart surged again, and the mercenary leader quickly looked away and forcibly explained.

"So, who has the power to cover this sarcophagus?"

Chang Emir is clearly not as the mercenary leader claims.

"I don't care what he does." In the face of Emir Chang's questioning, the suppressed emotions in the heart of the mercenary leader instantly exploded, he reached out and pulled Emir Chang's arm roughly, and said fiercely: "In short, I have taken you to the pyramid according to your request, and now you have seen the things inside, now obediently listen to my words and get out of here, and then take what you promised before......"

"Boss ......"

Before the mercenary leader could finish his words, the mercenary standing behind him suddenly spoke, interrupting him with a flustered voice.

"What's going on?!"

Hearing the call of the team, the mercenary leader's heart was slightly suppressed, and he looked back at his accomplices behind him, only to see them pointing behind him with fearful expressions.

“…… Behind you, sarcophagus, sarcophagus! ”

The appearance of the team members made the expressions on the faces of the mercenary leaders instantly stiffen.

He knew very well the character of the team members, as mercenaries with a lot of combat experience and a lot of blood on their hands, unless they encountered unexpected circumstances, they would not be able to show such fear.

Following the direction pointed by the team members, the mercenary leader turned his stiff neck to look behind him.

I saw that above the sarcophagus, a thick black mist was slowly rising.

It was a dark fog, but it seemed to be darkened by the darkness around it.

The black mist seemed to rise slowly, but it was only a few seconds later that it had filled the entire room, swept by the thick black mist, and the mercenary leader felt as if his soul was frozen in an instant, and his entire body was like an insect frozen in amber.

As the fog continued to emerge, a vague face seemed to begin to emerge in the black fog, and then sharp laughter began to echo clearly in everyone's minds.

In the midst of the laughter, a sudden sleepiness began to hit them.

The perennial vigilance told the mercenary leader that it was definitely not a good thing to sleep at this time, but this sleepiness was extremely strong, even if he used all his strength, it was difficult to resist, and the continuous sound of falling in his ears showed the situation of the team members behind him, and the next moment the mercenary leader felt that his palm was empty, and then the Chang Emir who was grabbed in his hand also fell.

As the last person beside him fell, the consciousness that the mercenary leader had been holding on to became blurred, and he struggled to hold his eyes, and what he saw at the last moment of consciousness was that the black mist on the sarcophagus condensed into a human figure in a robe.

……

Barren, pitch-black land that seems to have ended, there is not a trace of life at [the apex].

The mercenary leader opened his eyes, he shook his head, looked down at his palm, but noticed that his palm was so transparent that it didn't seem to have any color.

"This is?!"

"You're awake, no, our situation now, it doesn't seem like we should be described as waking up......"

Surprised, from behind him came the usual calm voice of Chang Emir.

Following the position of the voice, the mercenary leader immediately looked at the Chang Emir and the people of the mercenary team standing behind him.

It's just that their situation at the moment is a little strange, although they can see the appearance clearly, but the body seems to be several times transparent, penetrating their bodies and even seeing the scene behind them.

"What the hell is going on, and where are we now?"

Looking at the Chang Emir who appeared, the mercenary leader subconsciously shouted out his inner doubts.

What was happening in front of him was too shocking for him to behave like this.

"It's you, you've been looking for this pyramid before, you must know something?"

Recalling the appearance of the pyramid in the past, the mercenary leader's expression was angry.
