Chapter 17: The Jeweled Pool

When the dust cleared, I leaned in with my flashlight and moved the aperture over the shadow. The pen %fun % pavilion www.biquge.info took a closer look, but was taken aback. I saw that the huge black shadow was a black stone sculpture, and the eagle-headed figure was completely black, exactly like the statue we had just seen in the mural!

Seeing this, Bones hurriedly pulled me back and reminded me urgently: "This is the statue on the mural, Lao Zhang, don't touch it, if you touch it, you will live!" ”

Despite the vivid depictions on the mural, the man in it only touched the statue slightly, and the eagle-headed monster came to life. But now this statue is in front of us, and anyone who is not a fool can see that it is carved out of a black stone, and no matter how strange this Okala pyramid is, to be honest, I absolutely do not believe that this statue really comes to life at the touch of a button.

As he spoke, he limped over with his bald head covering his waist, stood in front of the statue and glanced at it: "This thing...... If you don't say anything, you have to have a few thousand catties, if this is smashed on the bald man, this life will be really explained here......" After speaking, he walked around the statue, and said: "Don't always say that the bald man owes, we are the 'pioneers', so we have to rush to the forefront to eliminate all dangers for you!" This statue is definitely not as evil as the mural says, and the bald master is going to break the feudal superstition of foreigners today! ”

With that, he raised a hand and made a gesture to touch the statue.

After what happened just now, although I don't believe that the statue in front of me will be resurrected if I touch it, it is not ruled out that there are other deadly mechanisms hidden on it. I hurriedly rushed over to stop him: "Dead bald, if you don't die once, you won't have a long memory, right!?" ”

The bald head grinned: "Look at the scare of you, the bald master is just joking, and he is not so bored that he has to try whether it can be resurrected." Okay, okay, let's leave as soon as the tour is over, my stomach has already begun to protest. Eh, which of you have something to eat? ”

After hearing this, Bones took off his backpack, took out a few chicken sausages from it and threw them to us: "This is what I brought and prepared for Rum to eat, and now the situation is special, let's make do with it." ”

It's okay not to mention it, but I also feel a little hungry when I say this, so I catch the sausage and smile bitterly: "I didn't expect to have to snatch food from under Rum's mouth at the critical moment, we really have to speed up, otherwise we will be starved to death before we are killed by the mechanism in the pyramid." ”

The bald head didn't expect the bones to throw the sausage over, he was completely unprepared, and subconsciously raised his hand to grab it, although he received the sausage, he also lost his balance, shook it a few times, and slapped the black stone statue next to him with his other hand!

He shot it really this time, and a crisp sound of 'pop' echoed throughout the stone hall, thinking back to what was described on the mural, I only felt that the hairs on my body exploded, and I stared at my round eyes and shouted softly: "Bald, what the are you doing!?" ”

The bald head was also frightened, he didn't expect that he would pat on the statue, and after stabilizing his body, he retracted his hand like an electric shock, and then jumped back a big step, staring at the statue of the eagle-headed human body and whispering: "Accidents, don't blame ......"

Although we were all nervous and ready to turn around and run away, what was foreshadowed on the mural did not happen. The statue didn't react, it still stood there, no mechanism was triggered, nothing changed.

After being stunned for a few seconds, after making sure that there was nothing wrong, the bald head grinned: "What do I say, you have to believe in science, it's just a big rock, how can you be resurrected by touching it." ”

I sighed heavily, no longer had the strength to blame the bald head, and waved my hand to signal everyone to leave.

Leaving this stone hall, the pencil in Leng Qi's hand began to operate again, and the map gradually expanded.

Then we didn't encounter any traps, so we walked through the passage for more than two hours without knowing the purpose. Two hours later, Leng Qi's hands were visibly stiff, and the map that had been drawn showed that our position was rising, and it seemed that we were moving in a circle towards the top of the tower.

I looked at my watch, it was already eight o'clock in the morning, the faces of the four people were full of tiredness, the feeling of hunger and tiredness hit every cell in the body, what I want to do most now is not to find crystal fragments, not to find an exit, but to eat a full meal, and then lie on a soft big bed to sleep him in the dark......

Rum was also devoid of energy, walking beside us with his head down, unaccustomed to the sometimes cold and sometimes sweltering temperatures of the pyramid, and his long tongue hanging out and panting incessantly.

After another half an hour of fatigue, my eyelids began to tremble, and my legs became more and more weak, so I stopped everyone and waved my hand: "Rest for a while, I haven't eaten or slept since last night, and I can't bear it." ”

The bald head, who has always liked to chatter, also closed his mouth at this time, squinted his eyes and sat down directly against the wall: "I can't do it either, don't say it's a bed now, even if there is a sofa bald man, I'm satisfied......"

Leng Qi put away his notebook and pencil, looked at the dark passage, and looked: "The space here is narrow, and it is inconvenient to deal with any accidents, so I can't rest." Hold on a little longer, and we'll stop and rest in the next stone chamber. As he spoke, he pressed his hands on a few acupuncture points on the side of his cheeks and pressed gently: "When you are sleepy, rub the sleeping acupoints, which will help refresh your mind." ”

I rubbed my face a few times like her, and as soon as the force was applied, it felt as if a few electric currents had hit my skull, and Chaos's mind suddenly cleared up a lot.

Forced to endure fatigue and continue to walk for more than ten minutes, to our surprise, the passage actually reached the end, there was a small opening of less than two meters at the end, and behind the opening was an open space.

I don't know when the wires used to connect to the electric lights at the top of the passage have disappeared, which means that we have arrived at a place that archaeologists have never been to before. It also indirectly proves that Endi's words are not credible, and the archaeological bureau did not completely excavate the pyramid, but only explored a small part and stopped abruptly. As for the reason for the cessation of excavation, it is not yet known.

Drilling through that narrow opening, what appeared in front of me finally gave the pyramid some of the kingly air of the pharaoh's tomb.

Here, everything instantly turned to gold, and the stone slabs on the ground and the surrounding walls were smeared with a golden powder, which reflected a dazzling golden light under the light of the flashlight. At the same time, two huge dog-headed statues stood on the left and right with spears in their hands, and the dog's mouth was wide open, and the two rows of canine teeth were completely out, as if to warn future generations not to set foot in this place easily.

Behind the two dog-headed statues, a long bridge stretches into the air, and at the end of the long bridge is a coffin. The coffin also reflected golden light, but it was too far away to be seen in more detail.

The long bridge is not fixed, but a suspension bridge formed by hanging stone slabs in the air with leather ropes and connecting them together. As a rough estimate, the length is at least about 100 meters. And just below the 100-meter suspension bridge, there is not an empty ground, but a huge pool with a clear border, which is full of colorful jewelry, gold and silver jewelry, and large and small bottles and cans.

The amount of these treasures is immeasurable, and when you lift the flashlight, it looks like a sea of gold, and the golden light reflected by the jewels shines on the suspension bridge and the coffin in the distance, making it look even more magnificent and dazzling!

The bald eyes were straight, and the previous sleepiness was thrown out of the clouds, looking at the countless gold, silver and jewelry, he swallowed hard: "I'll drop a good girl!" This foreign Yellow Emperor is really good at playing! With so much gold and silver jewelry, I am afraid that half of the jewelry of ancient Egypt was transported when it was built! ”

Illuminated by the golden glow of the pile of jewels, I saw that the top of the space was also covered with reliefs, and although the shapes were abstract and I couldn't tell what they were, they always made people feel chills. The slender lines on the relief crisscross each other, like countless small snakes hugging each other tightly, and the scalp is numb to see, and the heart is very uncomfortable.

For this kind of dense lines, the most resistant, must be bald, I snickered and walked up to him casually: "Bald, look at the top of your head, what are those things?" ”

The bald head was intoxicated by the countless piles of gold, silver and jewelry, and when he heard my question, he looked up without thinking about it, and then changed his face and quickly looked away: "Lao Zhang! You're so immoral......"

If we encounter such a pharaoh's coffin in such a golden splendor in normal times, we don't need to speak with a bald head, and our curiosity will definitely go over and open it to see.

But at this time, the mental state of the four people was so bad that it was as if someone was pulling their eyelids down.

I held up my flashlight and looked left and right, and finally found that the corner on the right side of this hall is a good place, with a wide view and no wind and dust, if you rest there, if something appears, you can see it clearly from a few dozen meters away.

Leng Qi also agreed with my opinion after some surveying, the bones are naturally any way, and the bald head waved his hand again and again: "Now don't say that you are sleeping in this pharaoh's mausoleum, even if you let the bald man lie in the coffin, I am willing to ......"

Having made up their minds, the four of them immediately went to this corner and sat down against the wall with their backpacks together. Before the vigil was assigned, the bald head and bones had already taken the lead in closing their eyes and snoring. I shook my head helplessly, and then whispered to Leng Qi: "You can also sleep for a while, and I will let the bones rise for me in an hour." ”

Because she was manually drawing maps all the way, Leng Qi's workload was much larger than ours, and she didn't say much, nodded slightly and said 'be careful' before leaning against me and closing her eyes.

Strange to say, in the past, when several people slept together, listening to the snoring of bones and bald heads, I would most likely lose sleep, tossing and turning, and it was difficult to sleep. This time I was probably really sleepy, but instead of refreshing, their snoring acted as a hypnot, and I almost fell asleep in a daze.

If all four of them fell asleep in a place where this situation was unknown, the consequences would be very dangerous, and even if there was a very alert Rum, I still couldn't rest assured. So he pressed the sleeping point on his face, and then brought the backpacks of all four people to the front and counted all the food and water sources to distract himself.

Because the Pyramid of Ocala is located in a semi-sandy area, with desert on both sides of the east and west, we deliberately brought extra mineral water when we set out, and on the contrary, we carried almost no food.

After going through the four backpacks thoroughly, the final results made me a little worried: eleven bottles of mineral water, six sausages, three bags of chocolate, and that's it!
