Chapter 11: The Statue
Although the bald man's physique is a few points worse than his bones, he is much stronger than me, and he used to be a soldier, so he knows some kung fu. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info if I really fight him, I don't even have the slightest chance of winning.
Thinking of this, I didn't have time to ask him why his face suddenly changed, so I grabbed his wrist first, grabbed the dagger with a twist, and then turned around and rode directly on his back, strangled his arms with both hands and shouted: "Bald, what the are you smoking!?" What's wrong with it! ”
was restrained by me from behind, and the bald head no longer struggled, and after taking a few breaths, he opened his mouth to respond: "Medium ** evil, you have a big spider on your shoulder, I want to help you get rid of it, are you evil!?" ”
"Big spider?"
Hearing him say this, I subconsciously looked down at both shoulders, and with the light of Leng Qi's flashlight on the other side, there was nothing on my left shoulder, and there was a palm-sized black object on my right shoulder!
I have a certain resistance to things like beasts, gods and ghosts, but I am extremely nervous in front of such multi-legged insects, especially spiders, scorpions, and centipedes, which are highly venomous insects, and I feel uncomfortable just by looking at them, let alone lying on my stomach.
When I saw the black object, I instantly let go of my bald head and raised my flashlight to hit it like an electric shock.
With a slight sweep of the tail of the flashlight, a bright pillar of light swept around. Although the spider on my shoulder was hit to the ground, the moment the pillar of light swept over the stone wall, I saw with my peripheral vision that countless black spiders appeared on the originally smooth stone walls on both sides.
The spiders were large and small, the smallest was as big as a soybean, and the largest even exceeded the palm of an adult's hand. They lay on the stone wall one by one, the fluff on the surface of the body and the two pairs of sharp fangs are clearly visible, and the scalp of the person who looks directly at it is numb!
The dense phobia of the bald head is more serious, and looking at the black spiders that are sticking together and slowly squirming, goosebumps rose all over, and he shivered uncontrollably: "No...... No, no, no, go quickly, the bald man can't stand it......"
Under normal circumstances, although dark spiders are non-venomous, being surrounded by so many spiders will not feel good even if they are not venomous. I also felt hairy all over my body, and I always felt that something was crawling around on my body, so I beckoned Leng Qi to get out of here quickly.
The three of them walked more than ten meters in the passage, and most of the spiders on the wall were finally missing, and only a few were left, and there was no threat. The bald head raised the flashlight and turned around himself: "It was fine just now, why did so many big spiders suddenly come out, Lao Zhang, take a look, is there anything else on me?" ”
There weren't many things that could make the bald head afraid, and dense phobia should be his only weakness, and looking at his frowning look, I was about to make fun of him. But when I looked up, the joke was stuck in my throat......
Just as the bald head was shining a flashlight on his body in circles, I clearly saw something lying on his back, it seemed to be an animal, and it seemed to be a small person, motionless in beige clothes.
Due to the speed at which the bald head spun in circles, the images were only fleeting, and I didn't see exactly what it was, but I was sure that there was definitely something on his back besides his backpack!
Finding that my face was a little wrong, my bald head also became nervous, and he asked urgently, "Lao Zhang, what's the situation, is it really on me?" Hurry up, don't stand stupid, get me down! ”
I was stunned for a few seconds, and when I looked closely, I saw that there was nothing on his back except for his backpack, and the thing he was wearing in beige was completely gone.
Leng Qi couldn't stand it on the side, and said helplessly: "You don't have anything on you." ”
The bald man breathed a sigh of relief, reinserted the military dagger back into its scabbard, and then turned and continued on his way.
I rubbed my eyes vigorously, reassuring myself that I had nothing but hallucinations in this oppressive environment. Then I took out my mobile phone and looked at it, but there was still no signal.
The rest of the journey completely lost our sense of direction and distance, and without the flashlight, I would have lost even the sense of time.
We had been walking back along the passage, but we knew in our hearts that this was definitely not the way we had come. In the dark, the passage sometimes deviated from the slight angle, so I didn't know how far and how long I walked, and where I was at this time.
The three of them walked forward as fast as they could, and they didn't know how long it took for the bald head to suddenly stop: "I'm afraid I can't get out this time, you all bring food and drink, you have to be ready for a protracted battle......"
I looked over his shoulder, and found that I had already walked out of the passageway, and it was an unknown space, pitch black and silent!
The maximum range of the longan flashlight is 450 meters, and a circle of light can faintly appear in the distance when it shines straight through, which means that the size of this space should be at least about 1,000 square meters. It's so big and quiet that it's so exaggerated that even gasping for breath can bring an echo!
The bald head said the first sentence and repeated it at least four or five times before it faded away, as if there was a bald head on the other side shouting at us.
We don't know what lies in this dark space, but we have no choice but to keep moving forward to find a way out. The three of them cautiously moved forward in the dark, and just after walking more than ten steps, a huge head appeared within the range of the flashlight's aperture!
It was a dragon's head, a Western dragon's head, standing five or six meters in front of us.
Walking a little further, the dragon's body is revealed, a sculpture of a winged Western wyvern. It stood on the ground with its feet on its feet, its two large wings fully extended, and its dragon's head hung down with its long neck, as if it wanted to converse with outsiders.
The material used to carve the dragon must have been some kind of granite-like rock, the surface was polished very evenly, and it was all colored, but because of its age, the color had dimmed a lot, and cracks appeared in some places.
Fighting the dragon face to face, it was not its huge body and hideous face that were terrifying, but its blood-red eyes! This is also the most special part. Because the position of the dragon's head eyes is two eye sockets, there is a dry and shriveled round crystal placed in the eye socket, like the eyeball of some kind of creature, although it has become such a state, the color is still blood red, shocking!
The bald head swept the flashlight, looked at the two blood-red crystals in the eye sockets of the dragon's head, and his eyes were also shining, and he tiptoed over and carefully observed for a moment, and after making sure that there was no mechanism, he stretched out a hand to take it.
Seeing this, I hurriedly pulled him down: "Dead bald, I forgot how I got into trouble before, and why hasn't the problem of hand debt been changed!" ”
The bald head grinned: "This thing is the first time I have encountered it, the same crystal may have something to do with the crystal fragment, I'll take it down and take a look, and I'll put it back after a while, don't worry, I've seen it all, this time it's okay!" ”
After speaking, before I could respond, he had already jumped lightly on tiptoe and took out the ball in the left eye socket of the dragon's head. The weight of the ball didn't seem to be light, and after getting it in his hand, the bald head hurriedly hugged it with both hands, and then put it under the flashlight and looked at it carefully: "This is ...... Ruby? ”
Leng Qi glanced down and said softly: "This is a crocodile eye with a lead block, just a simple ornament, if you don't feel disgusted, you can keep it yourself." ”
The crocodile eye with lead is an indispensable process in the manufacture of sculpture in Egypt, because the crocodile eye is large enough and has less water, and the lead can be added to it to protect the color and corrosion. Therefore, on the statues in some local temples in Egypt, in order to achieve a realistic effect, crocodile eyes are also used as the pupils of the statues.
Looking at the lead inside the ball, the bald head stuck out his tongue, and then put it back into the dragon's eye socket: "The bald man is not the kind of person who takes the sheep by the hand, as the saying goes, the eyes are the windows of the soul, I better leave the 'window' for you......"
After putting the crocodile eyes back in place, the bald head rubbed his neck and his face was slightly tired: "I didn't go far this time, why do I feel so tired, is my bag of equipment too heavy, Lao Zhang, why don't we change?" ”
I sighed heavily: "We are four people's equipment, the weight is the same, I have two more bottles of mineral water here, if you want to change, I have no opinion." ”
"Forget it, I'm not used to staying in this foreign realm, I may have slept last night, let's keep walking, it's okay." As he spoke, he pulled out a strip of chocolate from his backpack, bit down on half of it, and stuffed the rest back in.
In fact, it's not just the bald head that feels like he's tired, but I also feel that he is much more tired this time than before, as if he didn't sleep last night, his eyes have some dark circles slightly, and his spirit is also a lot worse.
Nearly an hour and a half later, and there was still no news from Bones and Rum, so we had to put the search for the crystal shard behind us for the time being, and the most important thing was to find the bones and leave the pyramid first.
The bald head also threatened to settle accounts with that Endi after he went out, although he never understood what he was talking to Leng Qi. But Leng Qi said that he must have hidden some more important things, which is one of the reasons why we are indirectly trapped here.
Bypassing the dragon sculpture, behind it is a bluestone staircase, above which three dog-headed coffins appear side by side. The one in the middle seems to be the main coffin, which is three times larger than the coffins on both sides. The three coffins are covered with colorful paintings, mainly dark gold, which seem to depict the life of the pharaoh in the coffin.
Seeing the coffin, a look finally appeared on the bald and haggard face, and he slowly walked closer and walked around: "Foreigners just know how to play, the coffin is red and willow green, and there is a dog head in front of it, is this to let the tomb owner be reincarnated as a dog in the next life?" ”
I complained softly: "Anyway, this is also in someone's tomb, can you accumulate some virtue." Also, don't see the coffin and your eyes will shine, it's important to find the old bones and rum first! ”
To my surprise, the bald head didn't know if he was too tired or really changed his hand debt, so he nodded and agreed to give up opening the coffin, and walked down the steps: "If you don't open it, you won't open it, it just so happens that the bald man is not in a good state today, and it's not too late to come back when I go back and sleep well!" ”
As soon as the words fell, there was a crisp sound of 'rattling' from the big coffin in the middle, and then the dog's head split in two from the middle, and a crack two fingers wide appeared on the coffin lid!
The bald head had just walked halfway up the steps, and was caught off guard by the sudden crisp sound, and subconsciously pulled out the sapper shovel from the side of the backpack with his backhand and threw it over hard.
The sapper shovel flashed with cold light, like a blade, and slashed unmistakably above the crack in the middle of the coffin lid, and the shovel head nearly forty centimeters long was inserted halfway in. There was a pause for half a second, as if something was pulling hard in the coffin, but in an instant, the sapper shovel with a total length of nearly one meter and a half was pulled into the coffin and disappeared!
