Chapter 9: The Remains of Immorton
Later, under the orders of Ye Feng, the soldiers also inserted the iron drill into the gap in the sarcophagus, tied it to the top of the iron drill with ropes, until they retreated to a safe distance of seven or eight meters, and then violently pried the sarcophagus open.
And at the moment when the sarcophagus was pried out of a gap, I saw a large amount of unpleasant gas sprayed out of the gap in the sarcophagus, and what was daunting was that the iron drill and rope sprayed by the white gas quickly melted.
Seeing this scene, everyone was also frightened in an instant, especially the soldiers who were originally ready to go to the field in person, and they showed the expressions of the rest of their lives, and at the same time, they looked at Ye Feng's eyes, which were also in admiration and strong gratitude.
Because if it hadn't been for Nightfront stopping them just now, then they would have been a puddle of blood on the ground by now.
Because even the hard iron drill was melted by the gas, let alone their flesh and blood.
After the high-pressure hydrochloric acid spray in the sarcophagus was finished, the soldiers also carefully walked around from both sides, and then they also used hooks to pry the sarcophagus apart little by little.
A small, hidden compartment was revealed, and in this compartment, only a wooden box with a volume of half a meter was seen.
When the soldiers carefully carried the wooden box out, the next second, Eve was also surprised to look at the hieroglyphs on the wooden box and exclaimed, "Oh! This is the hieroglyphic script used by ancient Egyptian monks thousands of years ago! ”
"Look at these text patterns! They warned that whoever opened the box would be killed! ”
"As soon as this box is opened, then the resentful spirits that were originally sealed by the Holy Law will also break the curse and return to the world!"
"He will kill all those who open the box, and take all the internal organs and blood from their bodies, so that they can come back from the dead!"
"From the cursed spirits, they will also turn into evils that plague the world!"
……
It is worth mentioning that when Eve translated the ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs here, she suddenly laughed and said, "What a curse! ”
"There are no so-called curses in this world at all, I only believe in the facts I have seen with my own eyes, these are so-called superstitions."
"I prefer to believe that the so-called person who opens the box will inevitably be killed, and it is more likely that once the box is opened, a deadly trap will emerge, just like the high-pressure hydrochloric acid in the sarcophagus just now."
Speaking of this, I saw that Eve also immediately tugged at O'Connor's clothes and said, "Well, now is the time for you to show your courage." ”
Hearing this, O'Connor couldn't help but give Eve a roll of his eyes, and it was only at this time that she felt that he had courage, and then, seeing O'Connor also shook his head unexpectedly decisively.
Because unlike Eve, who doesn't believe in the so-called curses, O'Connor himself has really seen strange phenomena in the capital of the dead, so although he didn't say anything about these so-called curses, he believed them in his heart.
In fact, even if O'Connor was ready to open the box, Nightblade would not allow it, because he clearly knew that the so-called curse of unboxing did exist, but it was carried out by the resurrected Immorton.
Because Immorton had to suck the flesh essence of all the people who opened the box before he could return to his peak state.
Therefore, he also directly ordered the soldiers to carry the box to the Terminator, and the Terminator watched, believing that no one could open the box casually.
It is worth mentioning that at this time, I saw that Eve's eyes were also staring at the box carried away by the soldiers, and her eyes were also full of desire for the unknown.
I have to admit that Eve is a woman, but the adventure factor in her blood is more vigorous than that of men.
Later, under the orders of Ye Feng, the remaining soldiers also used digging tools to continue digging from the bottom of the sarcophagus, because the iron coffin where Immorton's body was buried was also under the sarcophagus.
Seeing this scene, Eve couldn't help but ask curiously, "What are you doing now?" ”
"You can't even see this, I'm going to keep digging?"
Hearing this, I saw that Eve also laughed mockingly: "It's terrible to have no knowledge, only the legendary Bibles of the Dead are buried at the foot of the Statue of Death, since you have dug up the Bibles of the Dead just now, then there will be no other gains from continuing to dig, so you are just wasting your efforts now." ”
For Eve's ridicule, Ye Feng didn't refute too much, anyway, in the face of reality, it would naturally make Eve speechless.
Under the concerted efforts of everyone, the soil under the sarcophagus was quickly excavated, and just a few meters below, only the sound of the excavation tools suddenly making a heavy knock was heard.
At the same time, I saw that the soldiers below also immediately let out a surprised voice and said: "There is really something, there is a sarcophagus underneath!" ”
"What! How is this possible? ”
Hearing this, I saw that Eve also looked down quickly with a shocked face, but the reality was that at the feet of the soldiers, there was really a sarcophagus buried in sand.
Afterwards, the soldiers immediately tied ropes around the sarcophagus, and then everyone slowly lifted the sarcophagus up with force.
Bang bang!
When the sarcophagus slammed on the ground, Eve, who was already impatient, quickly rushed to the front of the sarcophagus and muttered: "The sarcophagus buried at the foot of the Statue of Death, the person lying here, if it is not a prominent background, then it is a heinous crime!" ”
"It's strange that in the historical documents I've heard, there is no such person."
"And who will he be?"
Speaking of this, I saw that Eve, who was anxious, also immediately blew off the sand on the sarcophagus with her mouth, but to her surprise, there was no information about the person in the coffin on the sarcophagus, but on the sarcophagus, there was a depression similar to a lock.
It is worth mentioning that the style of this lock is quite strange, and it looks like it resembles a hexagon.
It's just that when Eve looked at the hexagonal lock, a thoughtful expression suddenly appeared on her face, and after a while, she suddenly exclaimed: "It turns out that this is the key!" ”
After a quick fumbling process, after a while, she also happily took out a palm-sized round box.
Then I saw her press on the top of the round box, only to hear a click, and strange iron pieces suddenly popped out around the round box, and when she put the fully opened box on the depression above the sarcophagus, the next second, surprisingly, the shape of the box and the traces of the depression fit together perfectly.
When Eve excitedly rotated the key, she saw that in the click, a clearly visible gap suddenly appeared on the edge of the originally closed sarcophagus.
Seeing this sudden gap, I saw that O'Connor also subconsciously immediately pulled Eve who was standing on the edge of the sarcophagus behind him, and at the same time, he saw the other soldiers, who also jumped back in a panic.
However, a few seconds passed, but no mechanism similar to high-pressure hydrochloric acid ejected from the gap.
However, despite the trouble, Eve's eyes when she looked at O'Connor were suddenly much gentler.
Then, when the soldiers worked together to lift the sarcophagus, they saw an iron mummy coffin lying quietly in the sarcophagus.
When the iron coffin was lifted out, I saw that the iron coffin also had a hexagonal lock, and then I saw that Eve also drew a gourd and put the key on the lock again, accompanied by the sound of the key turning with a click.
When the soldiers tore off the lid of the iron coffin, they saw a skeleton lying in the iron coffin in horror.
The moment he saw the corpse, the timid Jonathan even screamed in fright, but the soldiers, although there was also a trace of fear in their eyes, was nothing more than that.
For soldiers accustomed to seeing the dead, the dried corpse was nothing but disgusting.
At this time, after dozens of seconds of cushioning and adaptation, Eve also immediately cheered up and looked at the dried corpse, and after a while, she was also surprised and said: "It's so strange!" ”
"Based on the history here, this dried corpse must have been sealed here for thousands of years."
"But this dried corpse looks very fresh, and it looks like it's only been more than ten years."
"Huh?"
At this moment, Eve also suddenly looked at the back of the lid of the iron coffin in shock, and saw that on the back of the lid, there were a large number of marks of nails being scratched alive, which means that when this mummy was put into the iron coffin, he was still alive.
What a great sin this man has committed to endure such torture!
"Oh! Oh, my God! ”
At this time, I saw Eve suddenly point to the torso of the dried corpse in the iron coffin and said, "Look what that is!" ”
When Eve subconsciously prepared to take it, O'Connor immediately stretched out his hand to stop it: "No matter what it is, it's better to be careful about what is in it." ”
After saying that, O'Connor also immediately took out the shotgun on his back, carefully reached in, and after a few seconds, when he took out the shotgun, he saw that on the muzzle, there was an object the size of a palm.
When O'Connor was sure that the object was motionless, he placed it in front of Eve.
At this time, I saw Eve carefully looking at the palm-sized object, and then I saw that she also suddenly exclaimed: "Oh! Oh my God, this is the remains of a scarab. ”
"It's a carnivorous insect that can survive for years if it has food to eat."
"It seems that our poor friend was not only mummified alive when he was alive, but also suffered from the devouring of ten thousand insects before he died!"
"As far as I know, this punishment is called worm devouring, and it is the most vicious curse of ancient Egypt against the most heinous sinners!"
"It's just that I've never heard of anyone in history who has been subjected to this punishment."
"Because it says that once the sinners who have been punished by worms are resurrected, then it will bring about the ten great plagues of Egypt, and then countless Egyptians will suffer the misfortune of death!"
"But I guess it's all fake, right? After all, how can the dead be resurrected? And since the dead will not be resurrected, then this curse will not be fulfilled either! ”
For Eve's self-explanation, the others also showed expressions of approval, only a hint of banter flashed in Ye Feng's eyes, because only he knew that the so-called resurrection and curse were real.
It is worth mentioning that in the original plot, the person who brought Immorton back to life was Eve!
Because she really couldn't suppress the desire for the unknown in her heart, she quietly stole the Dead Bible from his hand while the Professor of Country M was asleep, and then used the key to open the Bible, and recited the resurrection spell inside in ancient Egyptian, which led to the resurrection of Immorton and the disaster that became.
I believe that if she could know that what she did would lead to such consequences, then Yefeng also believed that Eve's heart would never do the same thing, no matter how full of longing for the unknown.
Because it had been several hours since they entered the underground ruins at this time, Ye Feng and the others were also preparing to temporarily explore the current progress here, but the dried corpses and iron coffins like Immorton were naturally carried out directly.
According to the guidance of the pre-carved arrow, Ye Feng and the others also easily left the ruins according to the original path, and at this time, they saw that among the originally empty ruins outside, huge tents were also newly built.
Then I saw that Eve also pounced on the mummy and the iron coffin with a look of curiosity, and Ye Feng did not stop this, anyway, as long as the incantation on the Bible of the dead was not recited, this mummy was just a dead thing, and it would not pose the slightest danger.
It is worth mentioning that at this time, Yefeng, who has obtained the Bible of the Dead and the corpse of Immorton, wants to resurrect Immorton to complete the main quest to bury him, and it can also start at any time.
It's just that at this time, he didn't act immediately, and the reason is very simple, that is, he hasn't found the Sun Sutra that can easily deprive Immorton of his immortal body, in this case, anyway, it hasn't reached the deadline of the main quest yet, so why not start acting after finding the Sun Sutra that can be used to easily deal with the immortal sacrifice Immorton?
Anyway, the current situation is also under the control of Ye Feng, so he also has enough time and manpower to make the most perfect preparations, at least this is definitely more difficult than rashly starting the main quest and dealing with the immortal sacrifice without the Sun Sutra.
It's a thankless job!
According to the original plot, the statue of the sun god buried in the Sun Sutra is near the countless gold treasures stored in the capital of the dead, so finding the place where the gold is buried first is the best way to find the Sun Sutra.
