19. Scarab

Evelyn didn't speak, but found an ancient Egyptian mirror in the room, wiped the dust off it, and pointed it at the sunlight coming in through the hole.

The mirror emitted a beam of light.

Evelyn slowly adjusted the angle of the beam and shone it on the other mirror.

In an instant, beams of light strung back and forth, illuminating one mirror after another, illuminating the entire room.

O'Connor let out a wow-oh exclamation.

Evelyn said indifferently: "This is just a little trick of ancient Egypt, it's nothing, but it's ......"

She looked around, and finally locked on to Wang Bo with her gaze, "This place is really an antiseptic room, how do you know, didn't you say that you have never been here?" ”

Wang Bo said calmly: "That's right, I really haven't been here." ”

"Then how do you know this is a embalming room?" O'Connor asked.

"I just know." Wang Bo said calmly. "But it's my secret, and I don't want anyone chasing after me."

O'Connor looked at him and didn't speak. Since the other party said so, he was embarrassed to pursue it.

Evelyn retracted her gaze and diverted the subject, "Okay, it's your secret, we won't pursue it, can we go somewhere else and have a look?" ”

O'Connor nodded, and the group took out the torches they had prepared, lit them, and headed directly below the Anubis sculpture.

However, as the crowd passed through a narrow underground corridor, they suddenly heard a slight commotion.

It was as if something had passed under them.

This sound may seem slight, but it gives people a creepy feeling.

For a while, everyone invariably tensed their nerves.

Evelyn asked, "What the hell is this?" ”

O'Connor frowned, "Seems to be some kind of ...... The sound of bugs? What do you think? He wasn't sure, and turned his head to look at Wang Bo, he always felt that Wang Bo knew.

Wang Bo clenched the torch, nodded and said, "It's indeed a bug, and it's some kind of very powerful bug." ”

"Bugs?" Evelyn said: "This ancient city has been sleeping for more than 3,000 years, how can there be bugs. ”

"Why can't there be bugs?" Wang Bo asked rhetorically, "And I believe that Your Royal Highness the princess should know what this insect is." ”

Evelyn was stunned for a moment, thinking randomly, the ancient tomb, the underground, the bugs, her amount of knowledge is easy to find out.

"You mean. Scarab! For a moment, Evelyn's goosebumps rose all over her body.

"That's right."

To be honest, Wang Bo also hates insects, if he doesn't want to find the Black Scripture of the Undead, he really doesn't want to enter this kind of place, just now when he was on it, Wang Bo felt this ubiquitous yin qi.

Now that he has entered the ground, Wang Bo feels numb all over his body, and the terrifying yin qi is almost rushing to his face.

Ordinary people don't feel it, but Wang Bo is different, he can't wait to drop the torch immediately and return the same way.

It took him a lot of perseverance to resist the pressure.

O'Connor asked for some reason, "What is a scarab?" ”

Evelyn quickly explained: "The scarab beetle is a kind of insect that specializes in eating corpses, as long as there are corpses, they can survive, and it is a very terrible insect in ancient times. But I don't understand ......"

"Don't understand what?"

"Why is there a scarab in this city?" Evelyn voiced her doubts.

O'Connor asked rhetorically, "This is the tomb of the Pharaoh, isn't it normal to have scarabs?" ”

"However, we were the first visitors here for three thousand years, and even if there were corpses here, the scarabs had already eaten the corpses, and how did they survive for three thousand years?"

Evelyn asked her own questions.

O'Connor couldn't help but be stunned, yes, three thousand years have passed, even if the mummy is well preserved, it should be eaten, so how can the scarab beetle survive without food for three thousand years.

Not to mention three thousand years, even if there is nothing to eat for three years, these little things have already starved to death.

But they have survived for 3,000 years.

It's incredible, how exactly is this done.

O'Connor couldn't help but look at Wang Bo, he felt Wang Bo, he felt that Wang Bo could give them a reasonable explanation.

Wang Bo said calmly: "It's very simple, for three thousand years, this group of scarabs has actually been sleeping, and we, as the first visitors for more than three thousand years, woke up this group of sleeping scarabs, that's all." ”

"Is that so?" O'Connor turned to Evelyn.

"On the face of it, the answer makes sense, but there's a catch." Evelyn didn't wait for O'Connor to ask, but she voiced one of the biggest doubts in her mind.

"What method did the ancient Egyptians use to make the scarab beetle sleep for 3,000 years without dying?"

O'Connor nodded, he knew that animals hibernate, but even if they are powerful animals, they can't hibernate for three thousand years without dying.

Wang Bo said: "Spell! ”

Evelyn's eyes widened, "What did you say?" ”

"I say, spell!"

"Impossible!" Evelyn thought that Wang Bo would give herself an answer, but she didn't expect that Wang Bo would give herself such an unreliable answer.

So he vetoed it without thinking about it.

"How can there be spells in this world, are you joking?"

Jonathan couldn't help but nod, he also felt that this answer was unreliable.

O'Connor was thoughtful and didn't refute Wang Bo at the first time, because he had sensed that this place was evil a long time ago, and he didn't think that Wang Bo was joking here.

Wang Bo walked forward and said calmly: "Whether you believe it or not, the spell really exists, otherwise why do you think I want to get the Black Sutra of the Undead!" ”

At this moment, the group finally passed through the underground corridor and came under the legs of Anubis, the god of death.

It's a very wide space.

Evelyn was still attracted by what Wang Bo said just now, but at this time, her attention had already shifted to this room, "This is it, there must be a compartment near here!" ”

She looked around excitedly.

Wang Bo looked around and saw that the Americans didn't seem to have come in yet, so he walked around the pedestal of the Anubis sculpture and soon found a place that could be opened.

"This is it."

Evelyn walked over and looked at it a few times, and said excitedly, "That's right, this place can indeed be pryed open." ”

Jonathan's eyes lit up, could it be that there was gold buried in it, he didn't hesitate to pick up the crowbar and walked over, "Then what are you waiting for, let's get started." ”

Wang Bo sighed and said, "If you don't want to die, it's best to retreat!" ”
