Chapter 33: The Suspended Stone

This time, out of an abundance of caution, all three of us became unusually cautious. Before entering the cave, the old ghost picked up a small stone from the ground and threw it towards the inner chamber of the tomb. Surprisingly, there was no unusual movement, or something like a trap activation. On the contrary, the burial chamber was surprisingly calm.

The three of us could only tentatively go inside, always on high alert. The design of this pyramidal chamber is not so simple. As soon as we entered the door, they gave us a dismount, and almost killed us with a crossbow and arrows. Entering the depths of the tomb again, it is inevitable that the mechanism will be lurking and full of dangers.

Entering through the door of the burial chamber, there was a narrow passage that sloped downward, barely enough for a person to go up and down. Strange to say, this passage is a bit like a hole dug by tomb robbers. Looking at the angle of the thief hole and the way of excavation, it is extremely professional.

This reminds me of the words of the two big brothers before, if it is really as they said, then these people are secretly here to rob tombs in the name of archaeology. This practice of "repairing the plank road in the open and Chen Cang in the dark" is really a bit hateful. We.

But it's okay, with such a narrow passage, there will definitely be no dangerous trap tunnels. We didn't have to worry about dying unexpectedly, so the three of us hurriedly walked down the grave road. In a short time, we reached the end of the tombway.

However, to our surprise, this is not the main burial chamber where the pharaoh's body is kept. Nor is it an ear chamber for any other purpose, but a wide, wide burial passage that leads straight forward.

This wide cemetery passage. The paving is very smooth, stretching straight ahead, with no end in sight, like a smooth cement road. Due to their previous experiences, none of the three dared to be in front alone, and they were all a little worried about being tricked. I don't know why, the smoother the road, the more unreassuring it is.

The old ghost still used his old method, took out the round stone and threw it forward along the stone path. The stone rolled forward like a bowling ball. The three of us were amazed: as the rocks kept tumbling forward. From the sky above both sides of the stone path. A salvo of 10,000 arrows. Before the stone rolls in one place, crossbow bolts will be fired from both sides.

"Bang dang", at the junction of the tomb road and this spacious avenue when ten thousand arrows were fired together. A stone door slammed down. The sound of the ground was very loud. All three were jumped. In a panic, he hurriedly turned back to check. The stone door was tightly closed. The old ghost and I hurriedly walked over to remove the stone door. However, we used all our strength. The stone gate won't move.

When Qian Cheng saw us doing this, he also wanted to come over and help. But the old ghost stood up, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said to the old ghost, "Why are you still stunned?" Hurry up and get a hand. ”

When Qian Cheng heard the old ghost say this, he hurriedly walked over to us. I thought he was coming over to help, but unexpectedly, he just used a flashlight to shine on the door and both sides of the door. Then, slowly, he said to us, "You two don't waste your efforts, and once this door is sealed, don't try to open it with your own strength." Moreover, I just took a closer look, and the design of this stone door is that it can only be opened from the outside. ”

"What do you mean?" The old ghost asked suspiciously.

"What do you mean? That is, there is no way back! There was only one way to go dark. Qian Cheng said.

Qian Cheng's words sank our hearts to the bottom. However, he was telling the truth.

The old ghost threw another stone at the avenue, and another flurry of crossbow arrows "swished".

The three of us were all surprised to see this scene, and we all felt slightly tightened. Fortunately, the old ghost used a stone to "throw stones to ask for directions" in advance, otherwise, we would have to die under the random arrows.

To be on the safe side, the old ghost found another roughly circular stone and threw it towards the wide grave road in front of him. Fortunately, there was no movement this time, and it seems that the crossbow arrows in the mechanism have been used up.

The cold arrow shot from above just now let us see the general direction. Almost everyone remembered the exit of the arrow, and to be on the safe side, we put our backpacks on our heads to keep the bolts from being fatal.

The old ghost said to us, "I guess this cold arrow has been released, let's hurry away, and save a while and then go wrong."

The three of us were forced to reluctantly embark on the "wide avenue", I took the lead, the old ghost followed, and Qian Cheng was broken. My forehead was sweating slightly from the tension. It could be seen that the two of them were also extremely nervous, and their eyes looked diagonally upward.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I took the first step, the stone under my feet sank and I fell into the bottomless abyss. And I, who was defenseless at all, leaned my body and fell down!

Just as my body was about to fall into the black hole, the old ghost grabbed me and dragged me back. I almost fell into the bottomless abyss, and I was so frightened that my legs went weak and I was sweating all over my body!

In addition to being frightened, the old ghost also sighed: ", what the hell is this?" Collapsed like this? ”

"Levitating Stone!" Qian Chengyan said, "If I'm not mistaken." ”

"Levitating stone?" I asked, puzzled.

"Yes, according to legend, this is a very rare stone. This stone is always floating in the air without the action of external forces. As long as you don't move it, it won't move; But, as soon as you touch it, it will fall down!" Qian Cheng nodded and said.

When the old ghost heard Qian Cheng say this, he hurriedly asked in surprise: "Damn, won't you?" And this kind of stone? ”

"Well, I've also heard that this kind of stone changes the effect of gravity factors on it with external forces." Qian Cheng said, "In my opinion, this avenue should be more than this!" ”

"Damn, then you mean that this road is paved with this kind of stone?" The old ghost asked.

Qian Cheng shook his head and said, "That's not necessarily, the ancient Egyptians designed it like this, and naturally it will not be a dead end." It should be spaced, at intervals, or according to certain rules and routes. When we all walk, we should pay more attention to our steps. ”

Listening to Qian Cheng say this, we test it with our feet every step we take. In this way, the three of us walked slowly forward. On several occasions, all three of us almost fell. Fortunately, it was under each other's care and pull that they barely got through the difficulties. (To be continued......)
