Chapter 118: The Coffin and the Hand
86_86816 has been immersed in code words, and I accidentally knew that the college entrance examination was over, all the students, come on! The last time you use your brains in your life is here, and it will all depend on your face in the future, so let's fight hard, well, and finally wish everyone a smooth admission!!
……
In the ruins, if you come across a treasure chest-like item, it will either be a great joy or a great sorrow.
The reason for the great joy is that inside the treasure chest, there are usually unexpected rare items, and the great sadness is ...... Without a key, it can't be opened at all!
Lin Chao stepped forward to take a look, and through the unlocking skills he had obtained from the smart chip before, he quickly recognized that this was not a technological password lock, but a primitive bolt lock!
Lin Chao immediately used the B2-level unlocking skill to cut the bolt open, because it was too old, the metal molecules of the bolt were almost mixed together and sticked, and it took more than ten minutes to open it.
Lin Chao couldn't wait to look at it.
Book.
A thick book!
The treasure chest does not have the expected relic items, just an ancient book on the cover, and the hieroglyphs on the surface should be written by Ancient Egypt.
Could it be that this third layer is the last treasure?
Lin Chao opened the book suspiciously, as far as he knew, among all the book relics, only the Mayan civilization's 'prophecy book' was a peerless treasure, as for the ancient Egyptian civilization, it was only a second-class civilization, and he had never heard of any book treasures unearthed.
The book opened, and the first page was sandwiched between an ancient piece of coarse paper with several dark red hieroglyphs written on it.
Lin Chao was a little puzzled, opened the book below, and found that the book was full of hieroglyphs, and there was nothing special. Instead, it's like a ...... Dictionary?
"This ancient Egyptian dictionary is a treasure?" Lin Chao's eyes narrowed.
He flipped the treasure chest over, there was nothing in it, he used brute force, opened the treasure chest, and did not see any hidden compartments. There really is only this ancient Egyptian dictionary in it.
“…… Are you telling me to read? ”
Lin Chao casually dropped the dictionary, and suddenly thought of something, picked up the paper, and looked at a few dark red hieroglyphs on it, in the ancient Egyptian civilization, there was no pigment technology. This should be written in blood.
Could it be that these words are treasures?
Lin Chao frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and flipped through the ancient Egyptian dictionary, he had explored many ancient small ruins before. He often saw hieroglyphs in it, and when he had the opportunity, he learned some of them, but they were not comprehensive, and he could only translate them in combination with dictionaries.
……
The second level of the pyramid.
In a straight passageway, oil lamps hung on the high walls on both sides, but the fuel had long since dried up.
Li Jie and the others moved forward cautiously, and they didn't dare to be careless at all. These dried corpses don't have the slightest breath of life, and unless they are perceptual evolutionaries, they can't detect it at all. Maybe around the corner of the next passage you are going on, there is a cold dry corpse, waiting for you to pass by, and deliver a fatal blow!
"Do you think this passage is so cold!" A short young man guarding Li Jie's side looked at the gloomy passage around him. I was a little stunned in my heart.
Falcon's face changed slightly, and he said in a low voice, "I think too." The further forward it gets, the colder it gets, and. The feeling is not physical cold, but inner cold, like ......"
"It's as if there's a terrible monster beyond my imagination waiting for me in front of me." The other burly man was pale, and his majestic body was slightly shrunk like a hunchbacked bear.
Li Jie frowned slightly, he also felt something, as if at the end of the passage, something made his soul tremble, waiting for him, this feeling was very ominous, which made him feel a little uneasy, but when he thought of the parchment scroll obtained from the first layer of the passage, the thing recorded on it, his heart immediately became hot.
"Don't think about it." Li Jie's expression was grim, and he said, "The place in front is the place where the treasure is, according to the record of the parchment scroll, there are no monsters guarding it. ”
The others clenched their weapons, although their faces softened a little, but their hearts were still full of nervousness, and this inexplicable palpitation was as if there was an invisible tongue licking their bodies.
Soon, they came to the end of the passage, which was a large circular hall with oil lamps on the wall, and it was horrific that these oil lamps were still burning without being extinguished, and the flickering lights shone in this hall, and the dim light was full of twilight and death.
In the middle of the main hall, there was a dark red coffin, as if it was dyed with blood, and a mysterious aura emanated from above, giving people a kind of coldness from the soul.
Li Jie and the others involuntarily stopped at the entrance, as if the hall in front of them, which was one step away, was a monster's big mouth, which would swallow them alive.
"Old, boss......" The burly man before had his teeth chattering, and a large amount of cold sweat secreted all over his body, and he trembled: "I, why do I have a very bad feeling, in that coffin, there will be no [something], right?" ”
Li Jie felt very strong ominously in his heart, he clenched his fists, gritted his teeth and said: "This is only the second layer, even if the strongest monster appears, we can still get out of the way!" What are you afraid of, the dead have seen countless people, all the flesh has been eaten, and you are still afraid of a coffin? ”
Hearing his words, the other people did not calm down, but the fear in their hearts became stronger, and the faces of despair and horror on the corpses that could be seen everywhere on the street all came to mind at this moment, and their faces were covered with blood, like the souls of those who had asked for their lives.
"Ahh
A short young man screamed in horror, gasping for breath and drenched in cold sweat, and he thought of his girlfriend who was trapped in his room, covered by starvation, her face pale from the boiling flesh in the pot, her eyes looking at him with resentment......
Li Jie also thought of some terrible pictures, cold sweat surged on his face, the whole person seemed to be fished out of the water, he gritted his teeth, wiped the sweat off his face, and glared fiercely at the screaming young man, the scream just now frightened him, and he felt that his majesty was lost.
"Get in!" Li Jie's face was gloomy, he felt weird, but now, the treasure was in front of him, he was unwilling to give up like this, and took the lead in entering the main hall.
When the others saw him taking the lead, they could only stubbornly follow behind.
The oil lamps in the main hall flickered, as if welcoming them, and each lamp, like the smiling face of a demon, looked down at them with a smirk.
Li Jie took a deep breath and ordered the short young man, "You, go up and open the coffin and see if there's anything inside." ”
The short young man's face changed, and he hurriedly said: "Old, boss, I am timid, and my ability is to attack mainly, and I am not good at defense......"
"Let you go!" Li Jie had a cold face and stared into his eyes.
The short young man complained bitterly in his heart, so he could only grit his teeth and step forward, his ability is flames, and he is quite strong in attack, but his defense is weak, and if a monster jumps out of the coffin, he will most likely be seriously injured.
The sound of slight footsteps echoed through the main hall.
Watching the short young man approach the coffin, for some reason, Li Jie, Black Snake and the others felt nervous inexplicably.
The short young man took a deep breath and came to the side of the coffin, only to see that the coffin lid was carved with strange ornaments, as if it was a human figure, but the strange thing was that this person's body was a human being, and the head was a monster.
The short young man's heart couldn't help but beat faster, as if there was a terrible thing in the coffin, staring coldly at him through the lid of the coffin.
He gritted his teeth, reached out and grabbed the lid of the coffin, and his body was ready to retreat at any moment, and he pushed forward violently.
This ancient Egyptian sliding coffin lid, extremely heavy, is slowly pushed open, making a "rattling" sound of rubbing, which makes people feel creepy.
The dim oil light shone into the coffin lid.
There is a large amount of jewelry, agate, jadeite, and all kinds of exotic gemstones that are abundant in ancient Egypt, in addition to a jade pillow made of agate and precious stones, and the pillow is ...... One hand!
A severed hand!
The position of this severed hand is only to the elbow, perhaps it is too old, the water has long since evaporated, and the skin is dry against the bone, judging by the size of the bone, it should be a man's hand.
The short young man couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and turned around and said, "There are no monsters, you guys come here." ”
When Li Jie heard his words, a big stone finally fell in his heart, and as the coffin lid opened, the cold and terrifying feeling seemed to disappear, he immediately rushed over, and came to the coffin in a few steps, and suddenly saw the severed hand inside, as well as other agate, gems and other things.
"Huh?" Li Jie couldn't help but be stunned, how could it be these, the bracers of the power of the pharaoh that he said? Is it inside the gem?
He immediately crouched down to search, rummaging through all kinds of gems and agate, but still didn't see anything like a bracer, and he couldn't help but look a little ugly.
Others gathered around, looking curiously at the various gems inside.
Li Jie looked at a large number of gems of various colors, and suddenly his heart moved, "Could it be that 'Pharaoh's power bracer' refers to gemstones, not bracers?" Thinking of this, he immediately said: "Put all the gems on them, count them, not one of them will be missing, and take them back to study them carefully." ”
"Hmm." The burly man opened the backpack on his back and began to grab the gem and put it inside.
"Boss, where's this hand?" The black snake pointed to the severed hand on the gem jade pillow, the back of the hand was pillowed on the jade pillow, and the posture was a little weird.
"Lost." Li Jie grabbed the dry severed hand and was about to throw it away casually, when suddenly he paused and said vaguely: "Forget it, let's put it up and take it back to study it together." ”
"Uh, it's a good ......" Although the black snake thought it was ridiculous, when he saw him speak, he could only nod his head in agreement
