Chapter XXXIV
No matter how the tower of Hamna is a sacred land in the hearts of the ancient Egyptians, for Pipicia and his party, this is a huge mausoleum, from the last time O'Connor, Evelyn and others came to archaeology, the hole excavated entered the mausoleum, and the dark, rancid, and eerie atmosphere came to the face.
"Oh my God, I hate this kind of place." Cheng Su, the only female among the ten people, reacted the most, even if she was a female warrior who had undergone strict training in the Taiyi Secret, her innate temperament of loving cleanliness still made her feel uncomfortable.
"Yes, I hate it too," Pipicia said, "It stinks and makes me want to vomit." ”
Yang Shan really wanted to agree, but out of some kind of self-esteem, he held back, but his face was ugly, indicating that he didn't like this kind of environment either.
"It's much better now, and when I first dug it up, it tasted sour." Although Jonathan is a little obscene, he is very smart, and he doesn't know much Chinese, but he can barely understand the muttering of Pipixia and Cheng Su, and complains to the two of them when he hears the words.
"I don't think you're here to travel, and you still have the leisure to chat when you enter such a dangerous place?" O'Connor stopped in front of him with a torch: "Have this time, take a handle to clean up these stones, they are blocking the road." ”
A few of the complaining fellows looked at each other, shrugged their shoulders in unison, and stepped forward to clear the rockfall that had blocked the passage with the others.
Before entering the mausoleum, O'Connor had already told the crowd that if they wanted to deal with Immorton, they would not be able to rely on guns and brute force alone, and they must find another mysterious book corresponding to the Black Book of the Undead, the Golden Book of the Sun, which is the sacred text of Ra, the highest of the ancient Egyptian gods, and has a spell against evil.
At this time, what everyone cleaned up was the passage to the location of the Golden Sutra of the Sun that Evelyn found after interpreting the ancient Egyptian stele before she was captured.
Knowing that there was no need to fight the Great Devil with flesh and blood, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and worked hard to clear the blockage.
Mo Yu is the main force among them, his natural brute strength is much stronger than that of big men like O'Connor and Adbay combined, stones the size of a grinding disc are as easy as small stones in his hands, Liu Sigong is not bad, Zhang Kedi did not participate in the cleanup, he touched the surroundings to check the situation, Cheng Su also has preferential treatment as a woman, and is on guard in the rear, after all, this is the enemy's lair, and he has to guard against sneak attacks, even when Pipixia also moved bricks, only Jonathan, a lazy little expert, moved for a while and ran to the side to hide.
Although the contact time has not been long, but what kind of virtue this guy has, even the people of the Taiyi Secretary Guild know very well, given that the other party has a very high emotional intelligence and is very good at being a person, everyone is too lazy to care about him, and he pretends to be a dead dog on the side.
"Hey, wait, what are these?" Jonathan, who was squatting in the corner of the wall with a torch for lighting, suddenly found that the wall next to him reflected the luster of the orchid, and couldn't help but look at it curiously, and then found that there were murals on the wall, and along the lines of the murals, there were some oval beetle-like items inlaid in them, as if they were very expensive: "Blue metal? I don't know if it's worth the money. ”
Plagued by curiosity, he carefully dug one out and put it in the palm of his hand: "It's so exquisite, and it's an antique, it should still be quite marketable to sell it." ”
Just as he wanted to put this thing in his trouser pocket, he suddenly felt the metal beetle move in the palm of his hand, and opened his hand again, wanting to look closely, and saw a big black insect suddenly break through the shell and appear, and bite his palm.
"Ahh Jonathan screamed, in addition to the real pain, but also because of fear, the big bug actually got into his palm, and swam in his arm as if digging a tunnel, and a large swimming bag bulged out of his arm.
"What's wrong? Jonathan? O'Connor turned his head in dissatisfaction, Jonathan was lazy, and he was still screaming and shouting, what if he got Immorton's attention?
"Something the hell got into my arm, get it out, find a way to get it out!" Jonathan's panic caught everyone's attention, and all eyes paid attention.
O'Connor stepped forward and tore open Jonathan's sleeve, and immediately felt a little hairy, although he didn't know what that big bag was, but it was definitely not a good thing.
He was also decisive, and immediately pulled out a sharp knife and stretched it out for Jonathan's arm.
"Don't ...... with a knife"
Before Jonathan could finish exclaiming, O'Connor had already made a hole in his arm and picked out something, and everyone could see clearly in the firelight, it was a swarthy beetle, the size of half a palm, with a wide mouthpiece, fluttering wings, and a very terrifying appearance, and a fierce personality, not only did not run away after landing, but pounced on everyone.
O'Connor was about to raise his gun to explode the dangerous bug, but he was a step too late, and a throwing knife "clicked" and nailed the big bug to the ground, and the bug struggled for a while before stopping and turning into a corpse.
"This is the scarab, the trap creature of the pharaoh's tomb, numerous, carnivorous, and very dangerous." Adebay knew the bugs and said to the crowd.
The one who released the flying knife was Zhang Kedi, who returned from a probe: "Their shells are also very hard, my flying knife actually only nailed it to the ground, instead of stabbing it, everyone should be careful, if there are many of these things, it will really kill us." ”
Everyone was on the alert for the danger in the mausoleum, and while Jonathan was bandaged by the old man, no one touched anything strange.
This accident not only quieted Jonathan a little, but also improved the excavation efficiency of everyone, and the passage was quickly dug through.
O'Connor, who had taken the lead, carefully threw a torch into the newly excavated passage, tested that there was oxygen inside, and that there were no messy monsters around, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief and rushed in.
After opening the passage, the connected burial chamber was very open, and a light from the sky dome spilled in, but it was not enough to illuminate the four directions, and when O'Connor was about to shoot again, he was stopped again.
"Hey, O'Connor, not everything needs to be solved with a gun." Pipicha smiled wickedly, and the time had finally come, knowing that this was the treasure chamber of the pharaoh's tomb, and that there was a small mechanism that the ancient Egyptians loved to use, a lighting system built using the principle of mirror reflection.
It's a pity, before he can make a move, it is Zhang Kedi again, his flying knife "swished" out, hitting a mirror edge below the light of the sky, as the mirror flipped, the light suddenly reflected in the room, and after a while, the space became bright, coupled with the reflected light of various gold, diamonds, jewelry and other objects in the tomb, the whole space was shrouded in a layer of jewelry.
"This kind of light reflecting mechanism has been used in many ancient princes and nobles tombs in our country, but I didn't expect this to be the case in this exotic tomb." Zhang Kedi smiled at everyone and said, a little complacent about his extensive knowledge.
Everyone said that Comrade Lao Zhang knew a lot, and then they were all dizzy by the mountains and seas of gold, silver and jewelry in front of them.
Only Pipixia looked resentful and said that what about the fork opportunity? Why are teammates all fast hands!
