"Death's legs. ”

The group walked to the end of the passage and turned left into a stone chamber. Under the reflection of the firelight, the first time she saw this place, Evelyn said. In front of the four of them was the lower body of the giant jackal's head bust sculpture on the ground. It is unknown whether it was due to the erosion of time or man-made destruction, but the base of the idol collapsed to one side, and stone slabs and rubble were stacked around the raised part of the base.

"The secret compartment should be somewhere at the bottom. ”

Evelyn observed the statue's pedestal, trying to find the mechanism that held the Golden Sutra of the Sun. Hearing what she said, the others looked around, their hearts settled for a moment, and they all moved their eyes to the pedestal one after another. At this moment, a strange sound suddenly startled everyone. They began to gather together, their backs to the massive pedestal, careful not to let themselves make a sound.

Handing the torch to Evelyn and pulling her behind her, O'Connor had just freed his hand to hold the gun tightly, when he suddenly heard a sound coming from the passage next to the pedestal, and immediately took out another revolver, and slowly moved towards the entrance of the passage with his back on his back. At this point, sensing that something was wrong, Jonathan and the warden both took out their pistols and followed O'Connor, moving slightly towards the passage.

A burst of exclamation rang out at the same time.

The three O'Connor raised their guns at the entrance of the passage, and opposite them was Benny, who also raised their guns at them.

The moment they met, both parties knew that they had made a big fuss, and their nervous expressions eased slightly.

"I was almost scared to death by you. The blonde complained.

"Each other, each other. O'Connor replied.

The two sides began to collect their guns, and at this moment, the man with glasses seemed to have discovered something and couldn't help but take a step forward.

"That's my tool. ”

He looked at Evelyn's purse, which contained the tools. Evelyn, who only had these tools in her hand, immediately took a step back to protect her purse when she saw this, and stared closely at the glasses man who stepped forward.

"I don't think so. O'Connor said.

Of course, he would not admit that he had stolen the tools of the man with glasses, otherwise, they would have been really empty-handed in their trip if they had nothing to do with the treasures in front of them.

The two sentences before and after once again stirred up the tense situation, and as soon as O'Connor's words fell, the two parties raised their pistols again.

"Count...... Finish. ”

The man with glasses was so bluffed that he immediately stopped, and it was really not worth fighting again for this little thing, so he immediately took a step back in compromise.

"Probably I was wrong. He gave each of them a step down.

The muzzle of the gun was lowered again.

Coming back to her senses and realizing that the other party had also found this place, Evelyn tried to chase people away: "Lost company, everyone." We still have a lot of work to do. ”

Just like on the ship, the archaeologist, who was still hiding behind the cowboys, heard this, but immediately poked his head out: "Get out, this is our territory." ”

"We arrived first. ”

Evelyn's expression also became fierce, it was about the Golden Sutra of the Sun, and in the face of the archaeologist's uneducated bullying words, she did not see a trace of timidity, and firmly held her position.

The situation intensified three times, and once again the two sides raised their guns at the same time. It's time to come or come, two groups of treasure hunters appear in the same treasure spot, and disputes are inevitable.

"Dude, this is our statue. The man in the dark coat looked unkind.

"Why isn't your name engraved on it?" O'Connor sneered.

"But there are only four of you, and we have fifteen. Your odds aren't good, O'Connor. ”

It was Benny who made the threat, and although he was right, behind him and the three cowboys, in addition to the archaeology professor, there were a bunch of workers, but as soon as he heard him say this, O'Connor became even more angry and immediately turned his gun on Benny.

"Don't bluff me. O'Connor gritted his teeth.

"Me too. Jonathan chimed in.

O'Connor was stunned for a moment, and looked at Jonathan in surprise, such tough words could come out of the mouth of a timid guy like him? Facing the doubt in O'Connor's eyes, Jonathan responded with an affirmative look and nodded to show that he was serious. Extraordinarily bold is the norm for O'Connor, and for Jonathan, it's an occasional overperformance. In the case of no retreat, his performance is better than ordinary people, which is also his excellence.

After a little hiccup, O'Connor and Jonathan continued their confrontation with Benny and his party.

When it came to this, the two sides had been forced to Liangshan by the other party, and they began to fall into a silent stalemate.

"Listen to me, children, don't be noisy. ”

At the critical moment, Evelyn came out to clear the siege. When the two sides were arguing, she accidentally discovered that there was a space under this stone room, and with a plan, she walked between the two parties and carefully pressed down the muzzles of the cowboys.

"If you want to play together, you have to learn to share. With a cliché to Benny's side, she turned to look at O'Connor, "There's somewhere else to dig." As he spoke, he slowly pressed down his arm holding the gun.

The purpose of O'Connor's trip was to escort Evelyn back and forth, and Evelyn's meaning was naturally what he meant, and when he heard this, he put away his gun without relentlessness, nodded and smiled at Benny's side, and in a blink of an eye he pulled himself out of the fierce conflict - he was neither a person who could be easily swayed by greed, nor a man who could be easily swayed by emotions.

Seeing the attitude of O'Connor's side, Evelyn began to soften, realizing that there was no need to continue the confrontation, Benny's side began to collect their guns. The conflict between the two parties ended with one side retreating, Benny and his party encroached on the stone chamber as they wished, and after O'Connor and his party left the stone chamber, they searched for a way to find the space below the stone chamber, that is, under the pedestal.

"According to these hieroglyphs, we are under the statue and should have dug up between its legs. ”

Here, Evelyn spun around, looked around at the writing on the walls around her, and instructed O'Connor to chisel the slab above his head. Wisps of dust shook down from the gaps between the stone slabs—the gaps that were how Evelyn discovered the space beneath the stone chambers.

"When those dead beauties are asleep......" Before he could finish speaking, Jonathan looked at O'Connor, "Don't mind. ”

"It doesn't matter. O'Connor replied, continuing to get to work.

He knew that Jonathan was angry with Benny's gang, and although he was also an American, he understood that Jonathan was not aiming at himself when he said "dead old beauty" - he was a strong man at heart, which is why he always calmly faced all kinds of situations.

Seeing this, Jonathan was convinced, and then said, "Let's dig up and steal the book." ”

"Are you sure we can find it?"

Seeing that some cracks had been chiseled, he asked Evelyn on the other side of him as he replaced the hammer in his hand with the hoe in Jonathan's arms, preparing to dig up the rubble.

"As long as you don't get found by the dead Americans, don't mind. Evelyn scolded and apologized in the same way.

"It doesn't matter. ”

In fact, it wasn't just Jonathan and Evelyn who gave birth to Benny's gang, and out of personal grudges against Benny, O'Connor was even more angry, even though he didn't show it on his face.

Halfway through the conversation, as if remembering something, Jonathan looked inquiringly at the entrance to the passage, which was empty.

"Where did our little fat man go?" he asked casually.

As the words fell, the young man who was in the same place, but could not see the three of them, turned his gaze, his gaze penetrated the countless stone walls, and looked at a lone figure—the little fat man in Jonathan's mouth, the warden who walked halfway and left the team.

At this time, the warden had just crawled through a narrow passage, and when he looked up, he saw a mural on the wall, and at a glance he saw it straight—it was a strangely shaped life-size figure, surrounded by dense oval pits, which were inlaid with blue, golden points of light, and shaped like small stones.

"Look...... What we found. He muttered to himself, put down his torches, and kept his eyes off the small objects for a moment, muttering, "Blue gold, which can be sold for a great sum of money," as he took out his knife and collected what he called "blue gold" and put it in his pocket.

Proudly, he played with his heart, imitated the distorted movements of the portrait, and learned to open his mouth and scream twice, looking extremely funny.

"Huh. ”

The young man smiled, and the flame on the torch beside him shook a little.

"Who?"

O'Connor was quick-eyed, and immediately pulled out his pistol and quickly glanced around. Evelyn and Jonathan, who were next to her, screamed in fright at his startled actions.

"What's wrong?"

Then she looked around and saw that there was nothing unusual, and Evelyn looked puzzled.

"Maybe it's the wind. Glancing at the flames that were no longer flickering, O'Connor slowly withdrew his pistol, "It's me who went too far. His eyes were still staring around, and the chill in his heart had not yet dissipated.

"Whew!" Troking his chest, Jonathan still felt his heart pounding, "I think we need to take a break." ”

Suddenly faced with this change, O'Connor and the three temporarily stopped their work, on the other hand, in the stone room above their heads, the exploration work of Benny and his party had already reached the most critical moment.

The young man's mind moved, and the next second he came to the stone room, another place for him to watch the movie.

Here, archaeologists have found the part of the pedestal where the scriptures are hidden, and are carefully wiping them.

"Let's do it!"

"Be careful!"

The treasure was almost at his fingertips, and in his excitement, the blonde man poked a stick into the gap, ready to pry it open. Seeing this, the archaeologist was shocked and immediately grabbed the iron rod to stop the blonde man's reckless move.

"Pharaoh Seti is not stupid. Faced with the blonde man's suspicious look, he explained, and halfway through speaking, he turned his head to look at the group of workers not far away, cowering, "I think it should be...... Let the worker pry it open. ”

"The doctor has a point, Henderson. The man with glasses chimed in, persuading the blonde man.

The three cowboys and the archaeologist, as well as Benny on the side, looked at the evasive, huddled workers like a pile of rotten wood in the corner, without a trace of emotion in their eyes.

"Okay, just let them come. The blonde agreed.
