At night, the human bonfire once again lit up in the Lost City of Hamna Tower deep in the desert.
On the first day of exploration, it can be said that both teams suffered more losses than gains.
The Americans found a box with unknown contents, and three workers were melted by the high-pressure hydrochloric acid in the mausoleum.
But the protagonist only found a coffin with an erased inscription. The fat warden Gad Hassan who was traveling with him suddenly went crazy and crashed into the wall to death for some unknown reason.
Of course, from a certain perspective, this is a result that "O'Connor" and others are happy to see - at least no one will be nagging about the two and a half treasures like flies all day long.
"To be honest, I really miss that fat guy. Although he is not a good person, he is at least very funny, right?"
"Jonathan" sat by the fire, looking through the backpack left by "Gad Hassan" with a regretful expression. . .
There was only a broken wine bottle and a pile of blue oval stones in the backpack.
"Look what our friend left us? Twelve years of whiskey, I can't tell that this fat man has quite a taste." "Jonathan" didn't mind being dirty, he pulled out the cork and took a nice sip. Then his eyes fell on those oval stones with blue background and gold rim, "What are these? Are they the decorations stolen from the tomb?"
"This pattern looks like the scarab that the Egyptians believed in"
"Evelin" seemed to be very interested in these "beautifully carved scarab statues". Just as she was about to reach out to pick them up, Luo Jie, who had been sitting by the fire with his eyes closed and meditating, suddenly said: "If I were you, I would never I¡¯ll touch these things of unknown origin.¡±
"Jonathan" burped and mocked: "Does Mr. Ye also think that the fat man died from the Pharaoh's curse?"
Luo Jie smiled noncommittally, and the succulent next to him stood up with a tacit understanding and kicked the backpack into the blazing bonfire.
"Evelin" couldn't help but exclaimed: "What are you doing? Even if this thing is not made of gold, it is at least a precious cultural relic!" As she said this, she hurriedly looked for something that could put out the fire.
At this moment, those beautiful "scarab statues" suddenly cracked open, and several black insects half the size of a palm broke out of their shells. They twitched and burned to death in the fire before they could even crawl out a few steps.
A strange burnt aroma suddenly filled the air.
"Evelyn" screamed and threw herself into "O'Connor"'s arms - although she is not usually afraid of bugs, they are too big.
"I think I know how our fat friend died." "Jonathan" crossed himself with lingering fear, saying that he had thought about secretly hiding one on his body as a souvenir before.
"O'Connor"'s expression was filled with embarrassment and a bit of surprise. His hands, which had nowhere to rest, were secretly planning to fall down to comfort "Evelyn" in his arms. Suddenly, his face changed: "It's the voice of the cavalry! Someone is coming. Got it!"
As soon as the words were spoken, countless men in black rushed into Hamna Tower through the gap in the wall. The Americans camped outside were the first to bear the brunt and once again started a fierce exchange of fire with these lingering men in black. .
Although there are many Americans in the group, most of them are just ordinary workers without any fighting ability. The only ones who really know how to shoot are the leader "Danny" and the veteran "Benny".
"Damn it! These men in black are not here to rob, they are here to kill us all!"
The American team fought and retreated, and the war soon spread to the protagonists "O'Connor" and Luo Jie.
"O'Connor" is still as good as a shooter, but this time there are too many men in black, so many that they can't even cover the halo of the protagonist.
Bang bang!
Two gunshots rang out almost at the same time. A knight in black clutched his chest and fell off his horse. "O'Connor"'s right arm also hung down limply.
"Oh, my God, you're hurt!" "Evelyn" hurriedly tore off the fabric at the corner of her clothes to stop "O'Connor"'s bleeding.
"Don't worry about it for now, hide behind me!"
"O'Connor" could no longer use the gun with his right hand, and his accuracy was obviously worse than before with his left hand alone.
"Danny! Where are your explosives?"
In the original work, "O'Connor" lit the explosive fuse in an emergency, forcing the man in black to temporarily retreat.
The American leader "Danny" seemed to understand "O'Connor"'s intention, and shouted with a grimace: "The box containing the explosives got stuck in quicksand on the way here! How could I possibly know that?"; After finally finding the legendary Hamna Tower, no one wanted to return empty-handed. Encouraged by the double salary of the team leader "Danny", the remaining workers cheered up again, raised torches and oil lamps and started working overtime mode.
"Evelyn" did not want to waste the remaining day, and also took "O'Connor" and her cousin "Jonathan" into the mausoleum again.
Looking at the firelight of the two teams gradually disappearing into the tomb corridor, Succulent turned to Luo Jie with a wry smile and raised his eyebrows.
"The plot finally didn't deviate too much. This feeling of being tied up is really uncomfortable."
"That's how the system's tasks are. The higher the level of the task, the less it can be solved with brute force By the way, I don't seem to have seen the flaming red cactus."
"Maybe you are still looking for that "Sun Golden Sutra"? This loli is also very stubborn"
¡¡
Underground, at the base of the statue of Anubis, the God of Death.
The high-pressure hydrochloric acid in the trap had flowed cleanly. Two local workers fearfully entered the secret compartment under the Statue of Death and struggled to lift out a half-meter-square painted wooden box from inside.
"Be careful, there may be a curse on this box."
¡°Alan¡±, the Egyptology professor hired by the Americans, carefully reminded the cowboy ¡°Henderson¡± who was about to open the box first.
"What does this box say? Is it the Pharaoh's treasure?" "Henderson" doesn't care about the so-called "curse" at all, he just wants to find the treasure quickly.
"Let me take a lookit says, "Whoever opens this box will be killed." "
At this moment, an inexplicable gust of cold wind blew through the space, and the fire flickered, making the silent underground tomb even more eerie and terrifying.
"It's it's a curse!"
The local laborers rushed out of the tomb with pale faces. Although the veteran greaser "Benny" did not completely believe in any curse, he still acted with caution and took advantage of "Henderson" and the other four people. Without paying attention, he retreated secretly.
At this time, no one noticed that there was one person missing in the tomb. The eyes of everyone present were focused on an ancient book with a black cover in the wooden box.
"The Black Book of the Dead".
¡¡
Hamna Tower, above ground camp.
The Americans searched the tomb for more than an hour. However, the size of this underground mausoleum was no less than that of a small city, and the internal roads were complicated. They could not find anything valuable until the torches and lamp oil they carried were about to run out. , he could only turn around and return to the ground with the "Black Book of the Dead" and several exquisite urns.
"Damn it, the Pharaoh hid his treasure so well. It seems we won't be able to find it before the deadline set by the men in black." Cowboy "Henderson" sat on the box and drank water while talking. Complaining.
"Be content, at least we found this." "Danny" in the suit played with the urn in his hand, "The material of this thing is very good, it should be sold for a good price, at least it will not make us lose money on this trip. .¡±
"Bernsch", who looked like an intellectual, wiped his thick glasses and said with a smile: "Yes, at least we have a good harvest. I heard that only one mummy was found on the opposite side. It is too smokey to use it as firewood. "
Egyptologist "Alan" did not participate in their conversation and has been studying the "Black Book of the Dead" in his hand, which is as big and thick as a shield.
However, the book seemed to be locked from the inside, and he was unwilling to violently destroy it, so he could only turn it over and look at it.
Suddenly he felt an equally burning gaze, and when he looked up, he saw the curly-haired young woman "Evelin" in the opposite team standing not far away, staring at the "Black Book of the Dead" in his hand.
"That thing needs to be opened with a key."
"I know."
Egyptologist "Alan" blocked the "Black Book of the Dead" with his arm like a child guarding food. "Evelin" smiled awkwardly and turned around to return to her camp.
Although Luo Jie seemed to be taking a nap next to the fire, he had actually been using his "Ultrasound Imaging" skill to monitor the movements of the heroine "Evelin". Seeing that this silly Baitian had noticed the "Black Book of the Dead", he felt in his heart I also relaxed a lot.
If there are no accidents, the next step is for "Evelyn" to steal the "Black Book of the Dead" and accidentally recite the spell to wake up the high priest "Imorton".
Of course, how can the things done by scholars be considered stealing? (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
