"Maybe you can talk about this later, I think I should find the entrance to the pyramid. ”

Olivia walked over and said to Andy and Margaret.

"Oh?"

Andy and Margaret stood up and followed Olivia to the idol of Anubis.

Charles, who was groping in front of the pyramid, also came over, still holding a dagger in his hand and a few small black objects in his hand.

"Look what I found? Maybe it's the corpse of some kind of insect. ”

Andy took what Charles handed him, it was a shriveled insect carcass, somewhat hard, and looked like some kind of beetle.

"This is the corpse of a scarab, a rare alchemical insect with hard jaws that can burrow into human skin and devour human flesh and internal organs,"

"Legend has it that this is a sacred relic of the ancient Eki Empire, which is now rare, but it is said that there are still many pharaohs in the Eki Empire. ”

Olivia glanced at it and recognized what Charles had taken.

"The scarab beetle is an essential material used to make the mummy curse and a means of guarding the tomb of the pharaoh, that is, under this pyramid, there may be tens of thousands of living scarabs. ”

Andy's expression grew heavy as he handed the scarab corpses to Charles, who put them in a bag.

Since it is a rare alchemy insect, even a corpse is valuable.

"Well, Charles, I still have to warn you, when we enter the mausoleum, even if you have a gem the size of a head in front of you, don't touch it lightly, if you touch some ancient curse, we will all die here. ”

Olivia glanced at Charles and whispered.

Charles nodded, in fact, he had only never seen a scarab beetle before, and thought it was more interesting, so he dug them down from the stone slab.

"Alright Olivia, let's get down to business, how do we get into this damn pyramid?"

Andy saw that Charles seemed a little embarrassed, so he diverted the topic.

Olivia didn't say anything more, she crouched down and pointed to the idol's feet.

Andy then discovers that the yellow sand in front of the statue of Anubis has been swept to the sides by Olivia, revealing a stone slab underneath.

The stone slab is carved with several strange characters, some like eyes, some like flames, and some like bones......

"This is ancient Ekiven...... If I'm not mistaken, pronounce these words correctly and you can open the entrance. ”

Olivia said firmly, with a hint of smugness on her face.

"Looks like you know these words?"

Andy also smiled, he believed in Olivia, and seeing Olivia's performance, Andy knew that they would soon be able to enter the pyramid.

"Of course ......"

Olivia nodded, her face became serious, she looked at the slate, and then stretched out her right hand and placed it on the first character of the slate.

"Kaloya~"

"Mossaro~"

......

Olivia read it out character by character, as her finger moved to the last character and read it out.

Andy felt the desert tremble beneath his feet.

A clearing in front of the pyramid suddenly collapsed downward, revealing a swarthy hole and stone steps that extended downward, and the direction of the steps was to spread towards the pyramid.

Olivia stood up and bowed slightly to the idol of Anubis.

"The entrance is there, let's go inside. ”

After doing this, Olivia took a step back and said to Andy and the others.

"What do those characters mean?"

A few people walked towards the entrance, and Andy couldn't resist the curiosity in his heart and asked Olivia.

Margaret and Charles also pricked up their ears and looked curious.

"Those words...... Maybe it's the name of this pyramid. ”

Olivia thought for a moment and replied, she paused in front of the entrance, pursed her lips, and after a while, spoke slowly.

"The City of the Dead, Hamnata. ”

......

It wasn't until he walked down the stairs that Andy learned why the pyramid was called the City of the Dead.

Dozens of floors down the steps of the entrance is a platform, which is supposed to be the inside of the pyramid.

The front end of the platform is a step that extends downward, and a cursory look shows that the platform is nearly ten meters high to the bottom, and there are dozens of steps.

Coupled with the space inside the pyramid, it is about fifty or sixty meters from the top of the tower to the ground.

These seem to be just a burial chamber within the pyramid, at least on the opposite side of the platform, where Andy can faintly see two tall statues of Anubis guarding a gold-dusted gate.

On either side of the platform are two statues of Anubis, the same as the one outside, with their bodies dyed black and adorned with gold leaf and gemstones.

However, the hands of the four idols were folded in front of their chests, and their hands were clenched into fists, with two slender short blades inserted.

Andy glanced at it, and the short blades seemed to be able to be drawn.

"Incredible...... How did you build such an underground city?"

Andy stood on the high platform and looked down and muttered softly.

As soon as a few people entered, the torches on the walls on both sides of the platform lit up.

Perhaps because the entrance was opened, a mirror at the top of the pyramid hung down, reflecting the sunlight down.

And the space inside the pyramid has dozens of such huge mirrors, which also means that there is no need for torches, and the inside is as bright as the outside.

Coupled with the gold and silver artifacts that can be seen everywhere, and the statues made of gold, the pyramid is full of golden light, and even a little dazzling.

"Let's go down and see, this is just the first burial chamber to enter the pyramid, I don't think there will be anything important...... Except for gold. ”

Olivia's voice interrupted the thoughts of the still shocked few people, and she walked down first.

"If I could get this gold away, I think I'd be the richest pirate in the world. ”

Andy sighed heartily, and he looked at a statue of the Pharaoh not far away, made of pure gold, and was a little moved.

"I advise you not to do this......"

Olivia replied, glancing around and snorting.

"Most of the things here are tainted with ancient curses, and if you take too much, you will be unlucky. ”

"Why didn't the Eki Empire take the gold? Couldn't the Pharaohs deal with the curse? This is what they left behind, and with this gold is enough for the Eki Empire to build an army to dominate the world. ”

Andy was a little puzzled, he couldn't understand the situation, why the pharaoh would pile up the gold here, instead of using it to increase his strength.

"If you just take a little bit, I don't think it's a problem, part of the gold is the sacrifice of the pharaohs to the gods, and the other part is their funerary goods. ”

Olivia walked up to a large golden figure, looked at it carefully, then turned to Andy.

"If they are taken away in large numbers, it will anger them...... Every Pharaoh was waiting for the resurrection, so they would not let anyone else take their treasure, not even his descendants, ......"
