"He's dead. Tang Mei's voice became sad and strange.

"Yes. I crouched down and slowly closed Uncle Shi's stiff eyelids, noticing that the corners of his mouth were always pulling upwards, as if he was trying to maintain a smile before he died.

"For that incident, the Tang Sect has already killed many people one after another, and I swore that I would make all the dead worthy of their deaths, and they could see that their efforts would not be wasted. Mr. Chen, do you think I can do it?" Tang Mei's wry smile deepened, and a pair of nasolabial folds on both sides of the pale bridge of her nose were profoundly highlighted, which further aggravated her great sorrow from the heart and from the outside.

If she meant "that thing" by exploring and grabbing the "sea of gold," the difficulty was understandable. Even if the huge nugget under our feet is the "sea of gold", how can we break it down and move it out?

"I don't know, but I want everyone's dreams to come true. "That's what I mean from the bottom of my heart.

At this moment, Tang Mei is no longer a cold-blooded and arrogant killer in my eyes, but just a little girl who was pierced by the death of her relatives.

"Will you help me?" she stepped closer to me, and naturally leaned over again. As we perched on the cliff, we were forced to press close together, and I hesitated for a moment whether I should avoid her quietly.

"Hug me, it's cold—" Her face touched my chest, and her arms were limp around my waist.

I didn't have a choice, my arms gently wrapped around her shoulders, and comforted her in a voice so low that I could barely hear it: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid...... When her tears silently wet the clothes on my chest, my heartstrings were suddenly tugged, as if I was holding Leng Xin for the first time.

Uncle Shi's corpse and the treacherous strange cave only brought people a silent feeling of suffocation, and the dazzling golden light everywhere could not reduce this cold and silent fear in the slightest.

Tang Mei finally stopped sobbing and looked up to the sky and sighed: "Mr. Chen, I have imagined our meeting scene countless times, but I didn't expect that one of the scenes was actually under the unfathomable pyramid. However, as long as you are here, my heart will be much more stable, after all, you are a person with so many legendary stories, and this time you will definitely be able to turn danger into safety without exception, right?"

I smiled and shook my head: "Miss Tang, in fact, I am just an ordinary person, if it weren't for the rattling arrow and steel cable you arranged, we might still be suspended in the air at the moment." If I'm not mistaken, you've got your next step in mind, right?"

She smiled wryly and shook her head: "No, in the face of everything here, I am as confused as you." Survival arrows and life-saving ropes are both essential tools for Tang Sect disciples when they walk the rivers and lakes, and they can't be said to be my deliberate arrangement. ”

As the old saying goes, a woman's heart is a needle under the sea. If you want to detect a girl's scheming and thoughts, it is really more difficult than ascending to the sky, at least so far, I think Tang Mei has always kept her mouth shut about the secrets in her heart and has not revealed a single thing.

Examining the edge of its contact with the stone wall, it seems that only the tip of the iceberg is exposed to our view, and the larger area of the golden ground may stretch all the way down to the stone wall, and it is impossible to estimate how much it is.

If the gold under the pyramid can be called "sea", it must be a vast area and an astonishing amount of reserves, far beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

"There is no doubt that we are standing on a huge gold ingot, a super gold ingot that is the shame of the world's gold reserves—" Tang Mei did not show a look of overjoy, on the contrary, she kept looking down for something, constantly rubbing her toes against the smooth ground.

The ground was covered in a thin layer of dust, and soon it was covered with messy footprints of the two of us. Like me, she was very concerned about the ground in the center of the circle, and on several occasions even knelt down and wiped the dust with her sleeve.

"Is that a door? Miss Tang, are you looking for an entrance?" I kindly reminded her, but a simple sentence made her stunned for a moment.

After a long time, she slowly raised her head and whispered like a dream: "Mr. Chen, even you think that there should be an entrance here, an entrance to the unknown world?"

In my subconscious, because of the different colors of the center of the circle, the idea of "portal entrance" was born, and at this moment I reconsidered this problem, and a layer of cold sweat suddenly oozed from my back: "If this is the entrance, is there a deeper space under the golden ground?"

According to common sense, only human beings have the level of wisdom to "build space and use space". By extension, aliens with a higher level of civilization than humans also have this ability, and in scientific research reports, it can always be seen that aliens are a race with superpowers, capable of making any "earth-shattering ghosts and gods" actions.

When the ancient Egyptians built the Pyramid of Khufu, they were so naïve about the smelting and processing of metal that it was impossible to cast such a smooth golden ground, let alone construct a super-sealed portal on it. So, my most immediate thought at the moment is - "A portal to the alien world?"

"Even if there really is a door here, it may never be opened, because we don't have Alibaba's spell. Tang Mei added with a cold face, bent down and waved her sleeves to drive all the dust away.

The five-meter-diameter yellow-black special ground is integrated with the surrounding ground, with no handles to pull, no obvious control switches, and no special markings.

"Nothing, maybe we should bring a ray detector over and thoroughly reconnoiter what we're stepping on?" Tang Mei said, flattening her body and pressing her right ear tightly against the ground.

On more than one occasion in my search of the surrounding area, I had slashed the ground with a broken knife, and the sword, which was supposed to be sharpened like clay, had not succeeded in leaving a single scratch in front of the gold. All I can say is that these metals, which look like gold, are not really gold, but some unknown synthetic metal, just similar in appearance.

Tang Mei carried a delicate black Swiss watch on her wrist, and I quietly noticed that almost every thirty seconds, she would look at the time, and the more I got back, the more obvious the burn on her face.

"I heard some voices...... Mr. Chen, please do the same with me, that strange sound, as if some kind of large animal was howling desperately......" Tang Mei changed color again, sat up suddenly, and picked her ears hard.

The ubiquity of the golden light greatly affected my ability to observe, and I even ignored the strange expression on her face. Of course, the sensational remark that "the big animals are howling" really caught my attention, and I couldn't wait to lean down, put my right ear to the ground, and listen to it.

The first thing that comes into the ear drum is the faint sound of the waves, or more specifically, the "crackling" sound of the waves crashing against the rocky shore, interspersed with the "whooshing" sound of the waves scattering and splashing over the rocks.

"The sea? There will be a rough sea down there—no, no, this is in the Egyptian desert, and there can be no sea, not even a slightly larger underground vein. So, is it auditory hallucinations? It's the strange feeling of panic in a dangerous environment...... "I took a long breath, then held my breath and listened with my eyes closed.

"Mr. Chen, I think it should be the prehistoric flood monster in Egyptian legends, and the pyramid was built by the Egyptian pharaoh to suppress the monster, there is no doubt that we are standing on the top of a huge space, what do you say?" Tang Mei's voice gradually calmed down.

I did hear a bizarre howl, similar to the dull roar of a prime-aged African lion in heat, but who can explain how a lion's roar can occur beneath hundreds of meters of desert?

"Mr. Chen, Mr. Chen......" Tang Mei's voice became more and more distant and frequent, and I quickly opened my eyes, but everywhere I could see was blurred, and Tang Mei, who was a few steps away, also became shadowy.

"What's wrong with you, can you hear me?" she was still screaming.

I held the ground with one hand and flicked it, but then I felt like my feet were stepping on a large pile of cotton wool, shook twice, and fell on my back. Tang Mei's face leaned over and stared at me closely, her facial features distorted exaggeratedly, her lips constantly opening and closing, but I really couldn't hear a word.

"Poison! the poison of the Tang Sect in Shu!" was the clearest sentence that came to my mind, and I deeply regretted my carelessness. She is a member of the Tang Sect, she has been refining poison all her life, and she can take people's lives as long as she moves her fingers, I just ignored this, the place where I just fell to the ground and listened was the place where she crawled.

"Am I going to die? to die in a strange place that I couldn't have dreamed of before?The most regrettable thing is that I couldn't see Leng Xin again, and died holding the 'curse' mystery she wrote......" I gritted my teeth and turned over with difficulty, my face facing the position where Tang Mei was standing.

"Leng Xin—" These are the two words I desperately screamed before I fell unconscious, and I don't remember anything after that.

When I woke up, I felt like I was lying in a warm, soft embrace, wrapped in a thin blanket.

"Leng Xin?" The name jumped into my mind and immediately blurted out, but my consciousness also woke up in an instant, and then I exerted force on my waist, jumped up, and turned to shout angrily: "Tang Mei, you poisoned me-"

The night breeze hit my face, and the groggy feeling in my mind faded instantly, and I was greeted by Xiwei's somewhat helpless smile: "Mr. Chen, are you finally awake, are you feeling okay?" Her eyes were a little red and swollen, and the crystal tears hanging from the corners of her eyes broke into laughter before she could wipe them away, and raised her sleeves to wipe them in embarrassment.

Beneath my feet was the soft sand, beside me the rented jeep from earlier, and not far away was the Pyramid of Khufu, which stood silently. Tang Mei, the strange hole, and the golden ground are all gone, as if it was a nightmare that you can get rid of when you open your eyes, but it is not a dream, but a mysterious encounter that has actually happened.

"Where is Tang Mei?" I asked eagerly, and then my eyes looked to the top of the tower. It is not easy to get out of the bottom of the strange hole, and I suspect more and more that Tang Mei came prepared tonight, and she has enough knowledge and countermeasures for the appearance of the strange hole.

The top of the tower is quiet, this is the darkest and coldest moment before dawn, in the huge desert, only me and Xiwei stand alone, and Tang Mei's shadow has long been gone.

"Miss Tang Mei carried you back, she herself seemed to be injured, her steps staggered, and she rode away on her bike. She will take the initiative to contact you and discuss the strange things together. Mr. Chen, what happened on the tower, does it have anything to do with Miss Leng's disappearance?"

Sylvie looked innocent, clasped her arms tightly, shivering from the cold.

I picked up the blanket that had fallen on the ground and gently draped it over her shoulders, "Something did happen on the tower, but don't worry, wait for me in the car first-"

"Where are you going?" she interrupted, raising her voice, "Take me along, I always felt that the pyramid tonight looked weird, as if it had been filled with some kind of evil power. Mr. Chen, if possible, let's get out of here as soon as possible, at least don't approach it again tonight. ”

She opened her hands in front of me, her eyes filled with indescribable horror again, like a bird that had just been hit hard.

"You know what? Can you be more specific?" I carefully grabbed her wrist and pressed her arm down.

Xiwei sighed: "Mr. Chen, I can't say it, I just feel that my heart is grabbed by something, squeezed tightly, and every time I beat, I will feel a faint pain." Curator Lorraine has said that there are countless unknown germs and energies in the pyramid, and most of them will have a fatal blow to people at a certain moment. Now, I'm out of breath and my hands and feet are numb......"

When she looked up at me, I couldn't resist the helplessness of her face, and put my arms around her shoulders. She is not from the rivers and lakes, and her identity is completely different from Tang Mei, at least she will not secretly poison me, so I can rest assured that I will warm her with my body until she obediently quiets down.

"Don't be afraid, I'll just take another look at the top of the tower and I'll be back in ten minutes or less. Miss Shyvi, maybe some of my findings will help you make a name for yourself in Cairo...... "If the cave still exists, the world's pyramid experts will be absolutely ashamed to sweat, after all, no one has ever discovered the cave under the carpet scanning of a large number of scientific instruments.

My smile made Xiwei gradually relax, and her body no longer trembled: "Mr. Chen, I will go with you, no matter what happens, I will be with you." ”

She clutched my sleeve tightly and stared at me stubbornly.

I thought for a moment, stopped refusing, and took her hand and walked towards the pyramid. With my martial arts, it is not difficult to carry a girl to the tower together, and more importantly, I hope she can draw a conclusion to that strange hole with her professional knowledge.

It took about half an hour to climb to the location of the cave again, and I kept quietly observing the situation around me. Tang Mei retreated, and of course the people and horses she brought would disappear together, and the only thing worth worrying about was whether the Egyptian "Rainbow Warriors" troops would send people to stay.

Gold is the most beautiful thing in the world, but also the most dangerous thing, just like the fairy mountain Ganoderma lucidum under the care of the poisonous snake python, which can kill people at any time.

The pyramids before dawn were immersed in a dry and cold loneliness, and the spotlights in the square had been half extinguished, naturally in response to the Egyptian President's government decree No. 45 on "energy conservation and environmental protection", to save national resources as much as possible.

The darkness intensified Xiwei's panic and leaned closer and closer to me: "Mr. Chen, what are we going to see?"

"A strange hole, straight up and down, leading deep underground, right there—" I gestured to the boulder ten paces away, on the same rock I had faced off against the Rainbow Champions.

"What?" Cried out in surprise, "that's one of the two hundred and thirty boulders in the tower, numbered Nineteen-Nine, where could there be any strange holes?"

Within a few seconds, Xiwei and I were standing on the boulder at the same time, and she anxiously stretched out her foot to remove the sand from the stone, looked around, and then looked up at me and laughed: "Mr. Chen, are you amusing me? Look, this is a very complete prehistoric boulder, according to the usual cliché of archaeologists, it has witnessed the entire history of ancient Egyptian slaves masonry pyramids." Of course, the stone doesn't speak, and nothing can help us. ”

The disappearance of the strange cave is expected by me, otherwise, Tang Mei and I should still stay at the bottom of the cave at this moment to explore and study, instead of returning in vain.

"Miss Shyvi, I'm not kidding, but there was a little hole under my feet. However, now, for some unknown reason, it has disappeared, or it can be said to be closed, and all this, Miss Tang Mei can testify, is a mysterious passage to the bottom of the pyramid. At the end of the cave was a golden ground thirty meters in diameter, and it was probably an indivisible piece of gold—"

Even if Shelvie doesn't believe it, I'm going to tell it so I can clear up my messy thoughts.

Xi Wei was stunned for a moment, and shook her head with a wry smile: "Mr. Chen, that's impossible! That's impossible!"

She looked at me and gradually became gentle, walked along the boulder again, and turned around resolutely: "Mr. Chen, we should go, you and I both understand that there is nothing here." ”

I looked up to the sky and sighed: "Yes, there is nothing, the world is like chess, dust and smoke are like dreams, you can take what I just said as sleepwalking, let's go back to the city." ”

When we reached the bottom of the pyramids, the east was already white, and the crimson morning glow was eager to try to gild the distant sky with a beautiful gold edge.

"Miss Sylvie, standing under the pyramid, do you also think of the old legend related to the 'Sea of Gold'? It is said that both Napoleon and Alexander the Great planned to blow up this huge structure to see what the ancient Egyptians hid under the tower, right?"

I stopped, still unwilling to stop. Everything seemed to be under Tang Mei's control tonight, including the sudden crazy fall, she was always calm as usual, and persistently rushed to the bottom of the cave. "What the hell does she know? What lies beneath the golden ground? Is it a strange space isolated from the world?"

Xiwei wiped the beads of sweat from her forehead and grabbed my sleeve: "Let's go, Mr. Chen, let's go back to the city, otherwise as soon as the management appears, it may lead to tangled cross-examination." ”

In an instant, I saw that all five fingernails of her right hand were covered with a faint shade, an extremely pale smoky gray. I've met Xiwei twice in total, but I noticed that she is a girl who doesn't like bewitching makeup, dignified and pure, and her nails are always clean and clean.

"Your hands—do you feel a little itchy, especially the nails?" I waved my hand to hold her wrist, pressing the pulse to slow the blood flow.

"It's itching all the time, I thought it was a bug bite, what's wrong?" Sylvie twisted her arm to pull her right hand back.

I sternly stopped her: "Don't move, this is caused by the poison of the Tang Sect, the poison is quite violent, if you are careless, I am afraid that the whole hand will be wasted." Come to my back, let's rush back immediately!" This poison called "covering the sky with one hand" is best at spreading along the route of blood backtracking, and once the poison invades the heart, even if the gods are present, they will not be able to recover. If I had found out earlier, I would never have taken her to the top of the tower, because the blood flow throughout her body increased as she walked, which would have increased the spread of the poison.

Sylvie obediently leaned on my back, let me carry to the front of the car, and put her in the back seat of the car.

I cut the seat belt and bandaged her right arm with three layers of tight bandages on the wrist, elbow, and shoulder, and the anxiety eased for a while. Tang Mei plotted against me at the bottom of the cave, and poisoned Xiwei in front of the car, and she really deserved the eight-character comment "Bright as a spring flower, heart like a snake and scorpion" given to her by the rivers and lakes.

"My hand is getting itchy, Mr. Chen, I can't lose this hand, please take me to the hospital quickly!" Xiwei's eyes were full of tears.

Cairo Hospital is already the top medical institution on the African continent, but it is clear that the doctors there are absolutely powerless against the Tang Sect poison.

I patted Xiwei's hair and smiled softly: "Don't worry, I'll figure it out, are you afraid of pain?"

She bit her lip and shook her head gently, and suddenly sighed: "Mr. Chen, you know, I do scientific research, and I deal with instruments and knobs all day long, what does it mean for me to lose a hand......"

I pressed the electronic cigarette lighter next to the dashboard and kept smiling: "You'll be fine, but you'll have to endure the pain for a while, and you'll have a small insignificant scar on your fingertip." ”

When the cigarette lighter popped up, I took out a miniature Swiss Army knife, opened the ring cone, and burned it on the reddish cigarette lighter for a few seconds, then took her right hand and stabbed it lightly on the tip of my little finger, and the lilac blood splattered out of the window, and at the same time a strange fishy smell filled the cabin.

Xiwei frowned: "If you let go of the poisonous blood, you'll be fine, right?"

She is a biological researcher, and this kind of medical common sense will still be available, but dealing with Tangmen poison is far from being so simple. The most troublesome point of "covering the sky with one hand" is that after invading the human body, it will leave roots at the intersection and turning point of each meridian, and ordinary antibiotic injections have no way to do this, and the more reliable way is to adopt the complex technology of "dialysis" of whole body blood to ensure the recovery of the injured.

"Yes, bloodletting, antibiotic injections will be fine. I tried my best to comfort her, but I was more worried about what Tang Mei had done to Xiwei in addition to "covering the sky with one hand".

The speed at which the poisonous blood ejaculated slowed down, and I kneaded it vigorously on the other four fingers, then took her little finger in my mouth and sucked out five mouthfuls of poisonous blood in succession. Xi Wei didn't say anything more, closed her eyes, and leaned weakly in the back seat, but at this moment her right fingernail had become ruddy again, and the toxicity of "covering the sky with one hand" was temporarily controlled.

I started the car and headed back into the city. Fortunately, Sikong Xingxing is also in this city, and he has a lot of research on Tangmen poisons, so he happens to be able to help Xiwei.

"Tang Mei—" I silently recited the name in my heart, and began to wonder why I had saved her from the rapid fall and left her to fend for herself. Before I lost my instincts, the reason why I had to do my best to turn over to her was because I had been trained in the hardest "Boiling Eagle" in the past, and I was able to gather all my energy to make a last-ditch fight under the pain and torture that others could not bear.

It was based on this that I saw Tang Mei make a strange movement in the face of the five-meter-diameter ground-

With a knife in her right hand, she made a long cut in her bare left arm, dripping with blood from her wrist to the tip of her elbow. The golden light seemed to have diminished a lot as the blood dripped on the ground, and when she bent down and smeared the blood on her arm on the ground, the golden light was completely gone.

"The curse is subject to blood, the resentful beast prostrates on the blood, sacrifices are sacrificed from generation to generation, and men and snakes are shared, and I pray to the Almighty God to give me the power to put an end to bad luck. ”

Her mouth kept on saying, and she hung her head reverently, smearing it intently. The golden light on the periphery reflected on her face, full of unspeakable evil and hideousness.
