Chapter 425: Pyramids, Mysterious Illusions
It was a sphere of mist, like an eerie and twisted vortex of mist, swirling and flowing in midair, emitting a foul chill.
"Illusion? Or is it some kind of attack technique? β
Leon raised his hand and shot a shot, but it didn't pass through the phantom and shatter it.
Leon fired one after another, the bullets landing on the gloomy and treacherous phantom, but there was no response.
The phantom continued to hover and fly, absorbing the power of the bullet, getting thicker and clearer, and even gradually condensing into a vague human face.
The human face gradually took shape, and it turned out to be the face of a young man!
Li Ang raised his eyebrows, raised his wrist to aim at the phantom, and pulled the trigger.
Poof!
The bullet hits the shadow, tearing apart the phantom.
The phantom let out a high-pitched scream, and vanished in an instant.
"Phantom?"
Li Ang was stunned, he still had a nose and eyes just now, and he disappeared in an instant?
After the apparition vanished, the plants that had been coiled around the pyramid gradually withered and died, turning into dust and disappearing.
The pyramid returned to silence, leaving Leon alone on the edge of the cliff. Above.
"Like...... No problem? β
Li Ang breathed a sigh of relief, "No matter what the hell you are, it's better than that terrifying monster just now......"
He stepped forward and walked forward.
After walking for hundreds of meters, the view suddenly opened up.
In a large and flat square, there are ten pillars, each of which is carved with ancient symbols, including humans, elves, demons, dwarves and other totems.
Li Ang followed the steps in the center of the square, climbed the stairs, and stood next to one of the pillars at the front.
At the base of the pillar, a lifelike mural is painted depicting numerous ancient creatures, including dragons, birds, beasts, insects and other species.
Leon looked down and saw clearly that the main character in the picture was a burly and tall human male, with thick legs, knotted muscles, bronzed skin, a bulging chest, a blooming pattern tattooed on his left arm, and a hideous bronze shield on his right arm, with a giant sword stuck in his back.
"Egyptians?"
Leon frowned, "Looking at his outfit, he doesn't look like an Egyptian, but like an Indian."
However, his facial contours and clothing are very similar to those of Indians. β
He stared at the male Egyptian on the mural, and a sense of familiarity rose in his heartβthe Egyptian's facial features were very similar to his.
"Could it be that I've seen this 'hero' before, or have been in the same situation in Egypt?"
Leon thought to himself, carefully examining the features of the Egyptians' faces on the murals:
The left side of the face is thinner, with slightly high cheekbones and a full and prominent forehead;
Thin lips with a slight smell of blood;
The bridge of the nose is straighter, and the wings of the nose are slightly longer;
The tips of the eyebrows are upturned, and the eye sockets are deep.
"Although this 'hero' resembles an Indian, it is too different from my facial features."
Leon shook his head and looked away at the other sculptures.
To the left of the mural, there are two unique stone statues of gods.
One of the statues is silver-white and tall, like a god of war;
Another stone statue is about two meters five or six high, with a fat body, a huge head, a thick neck, a crown on the top of the head, and a gorgeous and cumbersome robe on the body, which looks like an old peasant;
In addition to this, the expressions of the two sculptures are very different.
The former has a blank face and a cold gaze, as if he disdains everything in the world.
The latter has a lovely smile and soft facial lines, revealing kindness.
"Do you mean...... These two sculptures are the guardians of this ancient tomb? β
Leon narrowed his eyes and looked around the tomb.
The wall tiles on the four walls of the tomb have been badly damaged, showing mottled and mutilated traces, and the wooden reliefs stripped from them have long been weathered and annihilated, leaving only a few scattered embellishments, barely able to distinguish the general outline.
Leon circled the tomb a few times, confirming that the entire mausoleum had been hollowed out, leaving only the large square.
"It doesn't seem to be dangerous here......"
He paused and looked at the sculpture in the middle of the hall.
The two statues of the deity are carved in traditional Egyptian art, one holding a scepter and the other holding a shield, with a solemn expression.
"Hmmm......"
Leon recalled the style of painting on the mural and muttered, "There are no markings on this 'hero''s clothes, and there are no words.
The armor, weapons, and shields on his body were all made of metal, but unlike the armor of ordinary soldiers, it seemed to contain some kind of mystery. β
The hero's armor and weapons were made of pure gold, covered with strange patterns.
Those patterns seem to symbolize different kinds of gods, and they resemble the chaotic elements born when the heavens and the earth first opened.
Leon observed the two pieces of metal armor, trying to find some points of resonance, but unfortunately found no pattern to follow.
"Hmm...... It seems that these two god sculptures are not real guards. β
Leon touched his chin and said, "Since there is no danger, I will simply dismantle the two of them......"
He walked up to the statues and raised his arms, ready to tear down the two statues.
"Wait, let's see if we can move it first."
Leon reached out with both hands, grasping the sculpture's shoulders, elbows, knees, and ankles, trying to move it vigorously.
Click, click, click.
He gritted his teeth and tried his best to finally shake the two stone sculptures.
The sculpture remains untouched.
Leon tried twice, but still didn't shake them.
The sculpture was covered with a thick layer of metal, and even with Leon's strength, he could barely pry open some of the gaps.
"I'll ...... Is it so hard? β
Leon frowned and looked up at the entire square, looking for a suitable cutting tool.
Suddenly, he noticed an iron door on the north wall of the square.
"There's a secret room hidden here?"
Leon walked over quickly, pushed open the iron door, and looked inside.
The room is stacked with boxes of wooden boxes, as well as many valuables such as gold, silver, jewelry, etc., which looks like a treasure trove.
"Whose grave is this?"
Li Ang was amazed, stepped into the house, came to the wooden box to look through it, and picked up a jade bracelet to play with.
This jade bracelet is made of fine jadeite, finely carved and crystal clear.
"Huh......"
Li Ang pinched the bottom of the jade bracelet and felt a touch of coolness on his fingertips.
"Water! It's water! β
Li Ang was pleasantly surprised, "There is actually a hot spring in this ancient tomb!" β
In the center of the burial chamber, there is a steaming pond of living water, bubbling and bubbling.
Leon excitedly took off his boots and jumped into the hot spring, feeling refreshed and moaning pleasantly.
The warm spring water soaked his skin, making it more sensitive and delicate.
"Someone has been here!"
Leon's eyes widened and he sat up from the hot spring.
The furnishings in the room were intact, not even a speck of dust had been touched.
