At sunset, the earth shines with golden light.

The long history of wind and sand erosion has long since lost the sparkle of the pyramid, exuding a misty matte light, as if people have traveled through thousands of years.

【Pyramids! 】

[It's a pyramid!] 】

[Wuhu, Wuhu, has it arrived? ] 】

"Yes, the pyramids."

From a distance, the pyramid is completely out of touch with its majesty, with a tattered exterior and an even more uneven surface.

The overall structure is like a staircase, and it is only two floors, and there is no resemblance to the tall buildings that everyone has in mind.

"Man is afraid of time, and time is afraid of the pyramids, this sentence is an ancient proverb from Egypt, which of course entrusts people's good expectations and aspirations......"

Bi Fang slowed down the speed of Alpha's advance, with inexplicable emotion in his tone.

"It's just that under the effect of thousands of years of time, it still leaves indelible traces on it."

"You know, the color of the earliest pyramids was actually white."

[Alas? White? Really? 】

[Isn't this golden?] 】

[Strange knowledge is about to start attacking the brain]

"Remnants of white limestone have been found at the top of the Pyramids of Giza, and fragments of white limestone are scattered around the Pyramids of Giza, so scholars speculate that the earliest pyramids were covered with a layer of white limestone, and the overall appearance of the building was a dazzling white."

"After this inference appeared, it caused a sensation around the world."

"Later investigation found that the ancient Egyptians would classify the stones when they mined them."

"Limestone, sandstone, alabaster and granite are mined differently because of their different hardness, so workers will use different tools to carefully select the limestone with the highest hardness, cut it into squares, and then cut the sandstone into large stones with a rectangular bottom."

"What is certain is that the Pyramids of Giza are located on top of a quarry where limestone is mined in a rocky area."

"Once the foundation was built, the limestone was moved to cover the pyramid with a white façade that came from the Tula quarry on the south side of the Reverse Nile."

"When all the steps are done, the tall pyramid glows white and shines in the sunlight, making it the most striking structure for a few kilometres."

"Is there anything more beautiful than this?"

[Wow, that must be white gold, right?] 】

[Definitely the same as diamonds]

The audience was immediately fascinated by Bi Fang's description.

"Unfortunately, in the 14th century, Sultan Bad-al-Din Hassan of the Bahri dynasty wanted to build a temple and fortress, because there was not enough stone, and it would be a waste of manpower and material resources to mine limestone, so he set his sights on the limestone covering the surface of the Egyptian pyramids, and many white stones were stolen by him."

"Coupled with the passage of time, the limestone up and down the pyramid was gradually eroded by the sun and the moon."

"After experiencing the shaking of the earth's surface, the limestone outside the pyramid finally collapsed completely, and large pieces were scattered all around, and after the wind and rain, they became the gravel blocks that are today, and they can no longer be seen in their original face."

"There are now more than 80 pyramids found in Egypt, not all of them are as magnificent and majestic as the Pyramid of Khufu, and the current dilapidated ones are the true portrayal of most of the pyramids, and even the Pyramid of Khufu is no longer the white and shining appearance of the past."

[It's a pity]

[Same as the Old Summer Palace]

[There is always a sixth]

But even if the building in front of you is broken, it is also a pyramid of one of the wonders of the world, which means that the journey is about to come to an end.

Bi Fang was excited in his heart, but he didn't ride his horse and whip up, allowing Alpha to speed up his journey.

On this trip through the Sahara, he experienced no less than three sandstorms, and was crawled on by scorpions when he slept at night, and he had to be careful of the ubiquitous quicksand and poisonous snakes when walking.

The heat of more than forty-five degrees during the day, the cold below zero at night, the double experience of ice and fire, hunger, thirst, and negative state torture the flesh all the time.

But now that the hope of victory is in sight, I don't want it to end so soon.

Biffon stopped the alpha, stepped off its back, and began to walk in the direction of the pyramid.

Egypt is a tourist mecca, especially the pyramids in the territory, but there are more than 80 pyramids, not all of them are majestic and magnificent, they are scattered in the wilderness, and many of them are unattended.

The same is true of the one in front of Bi Fang.

There are no tourists nearby, and it stands alone in the wilderness.

The sun slowly set behind Bi Fang, gilding it with a layer of gold.

"Uh, wait, it's like quicksand here."

Bi Fangwu had to stop walking, looking down at his half-buried feet, a little depressed.

These quicksands hidden in the desert environment are impossible to prevent at all, and once you walk, you have to be prepared to be swallowed, but for a master like Bi Fang, who is experienced in survival, the quicksand is completely a novice copy.

Bi Fang let go of the reins, and Alpha took two steps back alone, away from the quicksand.

Then he threw out his backpack and placed the stick behind his back as a support point, and Bi Fang began to slowly fall backwards, moving little by little, trying to get up from the quicksand.

"You can also take off your shoes if you feel the need to, as they create a lot of resistance when you try to pull your foot out, especially if the sole is flat and stiff."

"Wait, something is wrong......"

Lying on the quicksand, Bi Fang, who was really ready to squirm his shoulder blades, stopped, feeling the touch of the soles of his feet, a little surprised.

The feet are not soft and gravel at all, they are very hard.

Just when Bi Fang was puzzled, a long-lost voice sounded in his head.

[During the test, the side quest is triggered: The Lost Tomb, is it to be picked up?] 】

'Pick up! ’

Bi Fangton was delighted.

Side quests!

How long has the term not been around?

It was so long that Bi Fang's memories appeared in the mold lake, and he wondered if the branch line really existed.

It's been almost two years, and there are only a handful of side quests I've done, but I never expected another one to pop up now, so I naturally chose to take it without the slightest hesitation.

Looking at the name of the task, it seems that I have taken shit luck and stepped on something unusual......

Ancient ruins were found near the pyramids.

Bi Fang stagnated in the quicksand, and the audience in the live broadcast room was still stuck in what he had just said.

[What's wrong?] 】

[What's the matter, is quicksand stabbing your ass? ] 】

"No, quicksand doesn't prick my ass, I feel like there's something under my feet."

got the system prompt that Bi Fang was not in a hurry to break free from the quicksand.

There was a wilderness all around, and there were no remains of it except for the pyramid in the distance.

Combined with the unusual touch under his feet, it is already obvious where the so-called ruins are.

This is also normal, if the ruins are really on the surface, it is impossible for Bi Fang to find them.

Bi Fang got up from the quicksand again, and gradually slid down, the hard touch of the soles of his feet becoming more and more obvious.

Feeling it carefully under his feet, it was like a huge stone, but how hard it was and not so hard, when Bi Fang pressed the weight of his entire body, and deliberately shook it to speed up the sinking speed, the huge stone under his feet also sank together.

The curiosity of the audience was aroused, and they asked what it was.

[What the hell]

[It won't be stepping on a treasure, right?]

[Alibaba's forty thieves, right]

"It should be a stone, it's flat, but it's not strong, wait a minute, I'll come out first."

Bi Fang stopped moving, and the quicksand had sunk to his chest, almost drowning him.

Just as Bi Fang spread his hands and prepared to let himself slowly "swim" out, the stones that had been plying under his feet suddenly disappeared, and his feet were suddenly empty.

Immediately afterwards, the quicksand around it began to flow slowly from its original static state, and then became faster and faster, almost forming a whirlpool.

Bi Fang, who had just leaned out half of his body, was pulled by the powerful suction of the whirlpool, and he couldn't get out at all, and he sank deeper and deeper, and soon reburied himself in the chest, and it was even more serious than before.

Seeing that the sand was about to be buried in Bi Fang's neck, the audience in the live broadcast room was completely heartbroken.

[Hastily, the horse stumbles! ] 】

[What's going on with the old side, why is it going to overturn]

[Why does this sand flow so fast]

[Is this still quicksand?] Bullying me for not knowing anything, right!? 】

Bi Fang's heart was pounding, and he only felt that the pressure around him was getting bigger and bigger, so that he couldn't breathe at all, and his two hands grabbed wildly, but he couldn't grasp anything except the sliding sand.

The situation was not good, Bi Fang quickly withdrew his right hand and tried to untie the rope around his waist

From the ribcage to the neck, to the chin, until finally only the eyes remained, and just as it was about to be completely submerged, a large hand broke through the quicksand again and threw a rope out.

Bi Fang's muscles all over his body were connected, and he worked together, like a flying fish jumping out of the sea, revealing half of his face and shouting.

"Alpha!"

"Bite!"

"Rope!"

Alpha, who was jumping back and forth on the shore, was instructed to see the rope on the ground, and was stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted before the rope head slid down, stepped forward and bit the rope, and then retreated.

The rope was stretched straight, but with the help of Alpha, the Dinghai Divine Beast, it quickly moved out of the sea of sand little by little.

The exact opposite of the previous situation appeared, the palms, arms, and finally the head, neck, and chest, as if the scene had gone back in time.

Bi Fang's forearm muscles were as hard as rocks, and he firmly grasped the rope, and with a slight shaking, the pressure around him was greatly reduced.

The remaining quicksand poured like flowing water into the infinite abyss underground, even affecting the sand where Alpha was standing at his feet, causing it to retreat in fright.

Bi Fang was dragged and slid outward, surrounded by choking yellow soot, and from a distance it looked like a mist had suddenly risen from the ground.

The whole earth roared, like a non-stop polishing machine, shaking the grit inside.

When the dust settled, Bi Fang lay on the ground coughing violently, almost retching, and fine gravel was scattered everywhere, and he just didn't know how much he had inhaled into his lungs.

"Good thing I've trained Alpha before, hahaha."

Bi Fang, who finally took a breath, couldn't help laughing.

People have misses, horses have stumbled.

Quicksand is the most ingenious mechanism that nature has ever designed.

There are too many and too many dense quicksands in the Sahara, and there are even different types, such as dry quicksand, wet quicksand, and so on.

Bi Fang had long thought about the situation that he would not be able to break free from in case of danger, so he trained Alpha to bite the rope and drag it in advance.

[Awesome! 】

[It has to be my brother!

】

[Give Fang Shen some attention! ]

】

【Bearded baby bottle for streamer spaceship*1】

[Pig's heart shrimp is presented to the live yacht*1 - follow it! ] 】

[What's on the ground, is there a hole over there?]

When the yellow mist drifting in the air slowly dissipated, Bi Fang cautiously came to the place where he had encountered the quicksand earlier, and found that a small hole with a diameter of less than half a meter was exposed.

The cave was pitch black, and it was impossible to see what was inside.

But it appeared on the ground so brightly that no one could resist the urge to go in and take a look.

[,, what is this? 】

[Ruins?] Or a cave? 】

[Old Fang, you shit is out of luck, you can find everything, what kind of explorer to be, go and be a treasure hunter! ] 】

[Come in and have a look, hurry up! 】

The audience in the live broadcast room had completely forgotten the thrilling scene just now, and they were all going in to take a look.

"Don't be in a hurry."

Compared with the audience, Bi Fang, a professional explorer, saw the hole in the ground and calmed down.

In other words, it was Bi Fang's professionalism that made him resist the urge to go in immediately.

"These strange caves, buried underground for a long time, are very likely to have some toxic gases in them, and some flammable and explosive gases, and they must not be rushed in."

"I don't know if you've heard of the curse of the Egyptian pharaoh."

"This claim was discovered by Howard Carter in 1922 at the tomb of Tutankhamun in Egypt."

"The owner of that Egyptian tomb is Tutankhamun. The inscription of the curse roughly means that whoever enters the tomb of the pharaoh will be the god of death on that person. ”

Hearing Bi Fang's words, many viewers immediately had an image.

After all, similar movie plots are not less.

Many viewers shuddered and looked at the dark cave, as if they would die in the next second.

As a result, Bi Fang's words changed: "This curse is of course fake, it was completely exaggerated by the media, and the rhythm was raised all of a sudden, and it turned out that the curse of the Egyptian pharaoh did not exist, and today the Egyptian mausoleum is placed in the National Museum of Egypt." ”

Howard Carter rose to fame after discovering Tutankhamun's mausoleum, and the person who funded him was Lord Carnarvon.

It took them 15 years to find the mausoleum, but Lord Canafon died the year after discovering Tutankhamun's tomb.

At first, some people began to say that it was a curse of the Egyptian pharaoh, and the more they talked about it, the more evil it became.

Later, more and more people's deaths were related to the curse of the pharaohs, and there were even rumors of the death of Howard Carter, until Carter came out to refute the rumors, saying that he was still alive, and that the curse of the pharaoh did not exist.

In the end, Carter finally lived to be 64 years old, and the rumors were self-defeating.

"Regarding the curse of the Egyptian pharaohs, why many people who come into contact with the tombs of the Egyptian pharaohs died young, it is correct to speculate that this has nothing to do with the curse of the Egyptian pharaohs, but to the mausoleum."

"The organisms in the pharaoh's tomb decay and deteriorate, and they produce pathogenic bacteria, or some poisonous gases."

"At that time, people did not have a good sense of prevention, and rushed into the ruins as soon as they found them, so many people who entered the tomb were easily infected and even died."

"So we still need to do some preparation before we go in."
