Chapter 196: It's Comfortable Here, It's Miserable Everywhere
The cloudy sky was silent, and only the propellers of the airship turned.
Xiao Lan and the others had already left the shadow-covered area of the "Dark Calamity" caused by Immorton, and the re-emerging sun was spreading its infinite light onto the earth, although it was almost unbearable before noon.
The people on the airship were completely filled with a lazy atmosphere, and they had been working on camels and horses for three days and three nights, and after stopping, they threw themselves into digging the Hamna Tower without rest, and then they made a whole night of trouble that could not be described in words, and as soon as they relaxed, a group of people were really found by sleepy insects in the blink of an eye.
Eve, Jonathan, O'Connor, and Amia all yawned one after another, Zhao Jiukong had been lying in the most comfortable position, and Zheng Zhe was silent but also found a corner to lean on.
While everyone else was resting, Xiao Lan planned to stand guard by himself, safely replenished the engine with some usable fuel, and set a course that would not deviate too far, and then let the airship fly steadily with the mid-range propeller, and he also found a corner to sleep peacefully.
They really don't have to rush.
No one was going to be behind at all, and the first destination, the Temple of Karnak, was a little far away, but the time left for them was a long seven days.
You can get there quickly if you drive the jet acceleration, but is it necessary to be so desperate when you are in a hurry?
The airship moving at full speed is like a small sailboat in a hurricane, and it is a little difficult to even sit firmly on it, let alone rest, and now it is not too fast to move with only the propeller, but as long as it does not touch the airflow, it is like a motel in the gondola, just for people who have been tired for a long time to rest.
They are very strong, but they are still "people" in a certain sense, they will hurt, they will be tired, they will be tired, and they can't keep their nerves tense.
Man. I didn't come into this world to suffer......
It may be necessary to endure the hardships first in order to stop suffering, but it also requires a body that is strong enough to bear it. It is necessary to maintain the necessary cultivation of the body to function at its best.
After sleeping for most of the day, they were embarrassed to get up when the sun was about to set, which was about the time Xiao Lan estimated that they would be able to approach their destination.
Although the airship was traveling at a comfortable speed of nearly 60 yards, half a day was enough time for it to float far enough. When they closed their eyes and recuperated, they had unconsciously crossed the vast Karnak Desert, and the Karnak temple complex as their destination could already be seen with their eyes.
The Temple of Karnak, part of Thebes, the capital of the Middle and New Kingdoms of Egypt, was the center of worship of the sun god Amun and was home to the largest temple in ancient Egypt. Located 700 kilometers south of Cairo on the east bank of the Nile, the ruins occupied the northern half of what was then the eastern city of Thebes.
As the largest pillar-supported temple on Earth, the temple has been and continues to be famous for its sheer size.
Figuratively speaking, the size of the Karnak Temple could fit a Notre Dame Cathedral, covering more than half of the American city of Manhattan.
The most conspicuous part of the Karnak Temple is the Great Pillar Hall, which is about 5,000 square meters, and there are 134 stone pillars in the hall, arranged in 16 rows. The central two rows of columns are the tallest. With a diameter of 3.57 meters and a height of 21 meters, it supports a girder with a length of 9.21 meters and a weight of 65 tons.
And because it is so dense and like the thick pillars of the primeval forest, the whole hall has a shocking effect invisibly. It is lit only by the high side windows formed by the height difference between the middle and the two sides of the roof, which is divided by half by the beams and column heads. The light gradually dimmed, creating a mysterious and oppressive atmosphere of "deification of kingship" that the pharaohs needed.
Although due to the age of age. As a result, the temple is dilapidated, but through the remaining part, people can still feel and imagine the grandeur of the Karnak Temple.
These huge images are shocking, and the spirit feels oppressed under the weight of matter, which can make people unconsciously produce a kind of "worship" from the depths of the soul.
In the past, Xiao Lan may have explained it as the psychological impact of the visual contrast of the huge building, but he has mastered the mysterious power and truly seen the basis for the existence of the gods, and he has added a layer of divine brilliance to that basic cognition.
However, their purpose this time was not to travel or archaeology, but to pass through.
Let the airship dock next to a main pillar in the big pillar hall, Zheng Zhe, who stood up, moved his muscles slightly, and then waved his hand to stop Xiao Lan from planning to keep up.
"You don't have to come down, I'll come by myself."
He was planning to take the Bracelet of Death alone to trigger the next scene, anyway, he was not afraid that he would not know those scenes, and he also got the memory of a guardian, and he also got the memory of the librarian Eve through the blood recollection, he knew no less than Eve and Xiao Lan, and the comprehensive may be more comprehensive.
And he moved quickly, jumping from the airship to the stone pillar and jumping down, then running back along the stone pillar with a brush, and then jumping back to the airship that was parked in the same place.
The whole process takes only half a minute, and the time to watch the holographic CG is also added to it, and Zheng Zha's speed is indeed strong enough.
But when he jumped back into the airship, he was stunned for a moment.
What appeared in front of him was a group of men and women holding their breath as if they were facing a great enemy, and where their common eyes gathered, Xiao Lan was holding the very scary anti-tank gun on the edge of the airship, and those who didn't know it would definitely think that he was staring at something.
But Zheng Zhe knew very well that there was nothing now, the temple below was the face of the gods, and there were no mummies, bugs, monsters, or other miscellaneous things, so he asked a question very suspiciously, "What are you doing with this thing?" There are no enemies now, right? ”
"There really are no enemies, just in case." Xiao Lan gave a concise answer, and then put away the anti-tank gun in his hand with an indifferent face, "The temple we are going to has basically been there, but not everyone has the opportunity to see the mummy resurrected...... Be careful. ”
For example, the Temple of Akkadian, located along the banks of the Nile, has long been visited by tomb robbers, but who has ever seen a group of priest mummies who can throw evil bullets?
After thinking about it for a while, Zheng Zha nodded with understanding.
“…… Reasonable. ”
However, this incident only reminded him to be careful, and did not affect any critical situation, and he had already gotten their next destination.
"Philae Temple Island, let's go to Aswan!"
No one objected to this decision, although there was a task issued by the Lord God that had to be completed, but there was absolutely plenty of time for seven full days, and there were no enemies chasing after it, and this operation was not a romantic and leisurely hiking trip at all.
Overhead, the cloudless night is beautiful, the desert starry sky at night is brilliant, and the desert reflects the misty brilliance of the desert dozens of meters underfoot, with winding and undulating sand dunes dotted with green bushes, and at the end of the desert you can faintly see the tall pyramids and huge sphinxes.
Moreover, the temperature in the desert drops rapidly at night, and the wind blowing into the airship from above is cool, which is very different from the sultry heat of midsummer during the day.
Xiao Lan adjusted the course as usual, added some fuel, and then the mortal airship moved freely, and under the proper heat generated by the gas combustion, Eve was wrapped in warmth and they looked extremely happy.
They almost slept well during the day, and a group of people who didn't plan to continue sleeping unconsciously looked for a way to pass the time, and Xiao Lan even kindly sponsored some drinks and snacks that could be bought in "Black Friday".
After a few glasses of wine, men and women were stimulated by alcohol to let go of their restraints, Jonathan soon began to boast of his heroic deeds, although no one believed it, but I have to say that his writing was not bad, at least Eve and Amya were amused, and O'Connor, as a former soldier, broke out some meat jokes at the right time also adjusted this lively atmosphere very well, because a certain past time affected Xiao Lan almost did not drink alcohol, although Zheng Zha was isolated from happiness, but he didn't want to destroy the joy of seeing others, Although the two of them did not participate in this temporary party, they silently gave rare blessings.
But while they were chatting over drinks, an ominous tragedy was already happening in another region.
Anabel, as a traditional Arab woman, has just entered the most beautiful age with long black hair and big amber eyes, but whenever she goes out, she will cover her beautiful face with a scarf, revealing only a pair of big watery eyes.
Today she went to visit a friend on the street as usual, but the wind and sand that were blowing on this day seemed to be very strong, but just when she was glad that she had protected her delicate face, she suddenly felt that her feet were light, and when she looked down suspiciously, the world was already spinning.
"Huh? Yes......! ”
-- The big, over-the-top wind and sand actually swept her straight into the sky!
She was frightened instantly, but she didn't even have time to scream, and an unusual feeling of tiredness made her voice hoarse in her throat, and then her eyelids became heavier and heavier, and she no longer had the strength to open them when she closed them......
And before her consciousness was completely darkened, she faintly heard a man's voice, one that sounded full of evil.
"She is a virgin and has inherited noble blood...... Very well, that's the sacrifice I want! (Your support is my biggest motivation.) )rv
