Chapter 22: Arriving at the Ruins, Current Situation

"How long is the time?"

"It's almost there!"

Under the dim dust curtain, the radius has been reduced to 5 meters, like a flat boat in the monstrous waves, rising and falling.

At this time, the whole sandstorm reached the peak of its power, and the whole sky, along with everything on the earth, suddenly flipped over, and the sand and gravel on the ground rose into the sky, and the air flow of the hurricane suddenly became chaotic.

Countless turbulent currents clash fiercely in the air, the four directions are reversed, the top and bottom are disordered, and the whole world seems to have turned into a chaotic potato soup.

Clark and the others nested in the force field ball formed by the [Leomon Hut], covered with ashes and scars, but they were still struggling to support themselves.

It's just that as the climate outside becomes more and more harsh, these yellow sand mummies are also becoming more and more crazy, as if they are struggling before dying.

At the last moment, Clark and the others, who had run out of bullets, even had to carry a dogleg scimitar and a wooden stick to personally step forward to engage in hand-to-hand combat with those damn mummies.

And the [Leomon Hut] also trembled violently in this sandstorm comparable to a ten-level gale, as if the end was coming, and a trace of indescribable fear rose in everyone's hearts.

However, at this moment, a dazzling ray of sunlight appeared in the sky, like a divine axe in Pangu's hand, splitting through the boundless chaos.

In the middle of the dancing sandstorm, several huge holes suddenly caved down, revealing an abstract facial feature shaped like a skull.

The huge face formed by the sandstorm suddenly dispersed after roaring a few breaths into the void in front of it.

The next moment, more sunlight pierced the yellow sand sky like sharp arrows, and also divided the huge face, shining straight on Clark and his body from the east.

As if suddenly, the wind stopped, the sand stopped, the clouds rose and the sun rose, and a new day came.

The golden morning light pierced through the clouds and rose from the eastern horizon, reflecting the vast expanses of clouds on the horizon, gilding the sand dunes in the desert with a brilliant glow.

Those rippled yellow sand are also reflected in golden red, and the heavy colors between heaven and earth constitute a magnificent and splendid picture.

When everyone saw this kind of scene, their tense spirits that had just experienced a life-and-death battle couldn't help but relax, and Wang Fatzi even sat on the ground with a slump.

Only Hu Jianjun did not forget his task, took out the compass, and muttered words to the bright Sirius in the sky.

"The first on the left, the second on the second...... Over here! ”

He suddenly shouted with joy and ran towards a sand dune on his right, which had piled up overnight after the previous night's sandstorm.

Clark picked up Hermione, who was pale from overdrawing his magic, and staggered behind Hu Jianjun to climb the sand dunes together.

When they walk up to the dunes, look out.

On the empty desert plain where the storm had just subsided, a phantom ancient ruins appeared in front of everyone little by little with faint ripples.

The pure sunlight serves as its back, gilding the ruins with a dazzling layer of gold, which is extremely mysterious and splendid, as if recreating the magnificent scene thousands of years ago.

Everyone's breathing, at this moment, was lightened.

Laura's pupils reflected the mysterious city, and as if sleepwalking, she murmured the name of the ruinsβ€”"Hamna Tower!" ”

"This is the legendary capital of the dead, the Tower of Hamna?" The voodoo wizard said with a complicated face, although there are detailed records in the religious scriptures, he is also the first to really come to the scene.

Only Wang Fatzi, looking at the splendid ruins, a thought popped up in his mind: "Is it all gold there?" We're rich! ”

Among the people present, perhaps only Clark was still awake, "Quick, the appearance of this ruin, I'm afraid it won't last long!" ”

Hu Jianjun looked at the Hamna Tower in the distance, which was blurry to clear, and nodded, "Yes, we have to get in before the starlight of Sirius disappears." ”

However, after Wang Fatzi raised his head and estimated the distance, he said: "This is too far, we can't rush over at all, so it's better to wait for tomorrow morning!" ”

His judgment was right, after a night of life-and-death battles, everyone was now exhausted, not to mention that the camels had disappeared in the sandstorm last night.

In their current state, with only a pair of legs, it is simply impossible to reach the Hamna Tower in a short time.

But that's the opinion of mortals, and for people with extraordinary abilities, none of this is a problem.

I saw Clark unhurriedly pull out a large roll of wool carpet from his magic pocket, and then spread this exquisite handicraft with intricate patterns on the sand.

Wang Fatzi and Hu Jianjun looked at his operation with a confused expression, not knowing what he meant, but Hermione and Neville walked to the wool blanket very consciously.

"There's no time to explain, come on!"

Clark loudly urged Hu Jianjun and the others to stand on the woolen blanket, and then in their panicked shouts, he controlled the magic flying carpet to float.

Because it was the first operation, Clark only controlled the flying carpet to fly at an altitude of half a meter above the ground.

They returned to the camp, covered the rest of the supplies with canvas, covered them with a layer of yellow sand, and then left their positioning markers, and then turned around and accelerated towards the Hamna Tower in the distance.

In this way, Sirius on the horizon was obscured by the bright sun, and the image of the ruins rippled, and they hurried to it, and finally on the flying carpet, they plunged headlong into the tower of Hamna.

It was as if it had passed through a tough film of water, and the illusory ruins in front of me had finally become a real existence that could be touched.

At this moment, the decoration of the morning light has long since disappeared.

Clark controlled the flying carpet and landed on the edge of the Capital of the Dead, and all that appeared before them was a large-scale ancient ruin.

The tall stone buildings have left mottled traces of the passage of time.

On the broken walls that are half buried by yellow sand, you can still faintly see the remnants of delicate patterns with ancient Egyptian style.

Although some of the houses have collapsed, the magnificent sculptures and stone statues prove that this place was indeed once glorious.

"Fat man, I can't do it!" As soon as he landed, Wang Fatzi collapsed to the ground, not wanting to move.

Clark glanced at the tired looks of the crowd, and could only nod his head.

"Okay, everyone worked hard last night, let's rest here for the morning first, and after lunch, we will officially start exploring the Hamna Tower."

After receiving Clark's order, Neville and Hermione, who had been cheering up, didn't care about their own image, and randomly found a rammed earth wall with only half of it left, leaned against it and fell asleep.

Looking at Hermione and Wang Fatzi, who were sleeping soundly, Hu Jianjun and Laura did not mean to lie down, but came to Clark.

"Someone has already entered this ruin." As soon as Laura opened her mouth, she said a bad message.

"That's right," Hu Jianjun nodded approvingly, "On the way just now, I saw some man-made traces on the ground, and it seems that we are not the only ones who are eyeing this ruin." ”

"Of course," Clark didn't seem surprised by the news, "in the world of the transcendental, the fluctuations caused by the birth of Hamnata are as bright as a sun, and as long as they are not blind, they will definitely rush here." ”

"Based on what we got at the National Museum in Cairo, maybe the Americans found it before we did." Laura reminded.

"Possibly," Clark smiled indifferently, "but it's better to come early than to be lucky, and this isn't an amusement park for people to visit." Regardless of them, let's prepare ourselves first. ”

Under his reassurance, Hu Jianjun and Laura also turned around to lie down and rest, and at this time, Clark took out the voodoo doll of the voodoo wizard and ordered him to explore the surrounding area.

His own life and death were controlled by people, and the voodoo wizard could only pinch his nose and control the body of the resurrected corpse, going deep into the ruins.

It wasn't until Clark had rested and woken up that he had eaten compressed biscuits and canned beef that he crawled back in disgrace.

Yes, it was on all fours and crawled back like a giant humanoid spider.

"Hey, what are you doing here?" Clark was forking out the beef from the can with a knife and was startled when he saw him like this.

"You know, this state of movement is more subtle than walking upright."

Voodoo climbed up to Clarke, then straightened up, "You guessed it, there is indeed a wave of people who have set up camp in the center of the ruins, and they are still excavating at this time. ”

"How's their work going?"

Clark took a bite of the beef on the tip of the knife, and the large pieces of beef were already extremely stewed, and with the thick texture, although it was not very fresh, it was enough for them to fill their stomachs and replenish their energy.

"It doesn't seem to be going well, after all, they don't have a lot of people."

The voodoo wizard stretched out his sandy hand, scooped out the canned chickpea stewed sausage, and put it in his mouth, regardless of whether it was clean or not.

"Hmm...... I saw that during the excavation, they brought out the bodies of two local workers, and their whole bodies were half melted, presumably touching the traps in the ruins. ”

There was a hint of schadenfreude in the voodoo's tone.

"So what should we do now?" Hermione asked.

After a morning of rest, replenishing her magic and filling her stomach, her face regained its rosy luster.

"I think this ruin is not small, it is better to dig it on the spot, and it will save you from clashes with those people." Wang Fatzi put forward his own opinion at this time.

Hu Jianjun nodded, as if he did not reject this middle-of-the-road suggestion.

When Laura heard him, she glanced at Clark, and the two looked at each other as if they were silently communicating something.

"In this capital of the dead, the pharaohs of more than a dozen dynasties are buried."

Clark stood up and looked up to see the stone structures around him, especially the tall obelisks, carved with mysterious hieroglyphs.

The gold-wrapped spire reflects the sun's brilliance, like a golden torch.

"These obelisks are another architectural masterpiece of ancient Egypt and a monument to the worship of the sun god Ra in ancient Egypt.

Before the pyramids were invented, they were the ladders that guided the pharaoh's soul back to the divine realm. ”

Clark recalls what he had read in an ancient Egyptian magic book and introduced them to it.

The voodoo wizard stepped back a little and muttered, "I feel it exudes a disgusting energy. ”

Clark and Laura looked closely at the hieroglyphs on the obelisk, and said casually:

"Of course, the text on it is a hymn in praise of the sun god.

The sun shines on the golden spires of these obelisks, reflecting and amplifying the positive energy attached to the sun's radiance.

For some creatures with negative energy, this is a deadly light, and its effect is roughly equivalent to a person falling into a bucket full of sulfuric acid.

Of course you, a voodoo resurrection corpse, will feel awkward standing next to it.

If it weren't for the change of the stars that weakened the seal here, I'm afraid that as soon as you step here, you will be burned to ashes. ”

Hearing Clark's words, the voodoo wizard couldn't help but shudder, looking at these mysterious and elegant buildings in fear.

The other people didn't care about this, they were all normal living people, and the positive energy emitted by these obelisks had no effect on them, and even made them warm.

"When I came in on the flying carpet, I saw that there were nine obelisks, large and small, and each of them represented an ancient Egyptian pharaoh buried underneath.

If you dig down the obelisk like this, it's not impossible to dig up the funerary goods of the pharaohs......"

When Wang Fatzi heard Laura's translation beside him at this time, he immediately pulled out the sapper shovel and said with some eagerness:

"Then what are you waiting for, let's go straight to it, those Yankees dig theirs, we dig ours, and it doesn't affect them!"

Clarke, however, shook his head and refuted his claim.

"There is also a difference between this obelisk and an obelisk.

It's like when you touch the golden captain and fight down, you have to judge the identity of the owner of the tomb according to the structure of the tomb, so as to determine the goods in the tomb.

According to the size, height and newness of these obelisks, we can also judge the pharaoh buried below what the national strength was during his lifetime and whether it was old.

The larger the obelisk, the more powerful the pharaoh was during his lifetime, and the richer his funerary goods became. ”

Hearing his explanation, everyone looked up and naturally looked at the center of the ruins, which seemed to stand tall like a flock of chickens compared to the others.
