Facing the gleaming eyes of the powerful and mysterious man in front of him, Clark Mueller showed a strong look of struggle. After a long time, he sighed heavily and said to Liu Dong with a slightly frustrated expression: "You are
How did you find it?"
"intuition!"
"Intuition?" Clark Mueller was stunned for a moment, then he couldn't help but smile and shook his head.
"Now that you have discovered it, I will no longer hide it. But I hope you can keep your promise and don't make things difficult for us, especially Sinclair, after you get the Nazi treasures in the ancient city of Heracles!"
"Clark...!"
Facing his friend's grateful and slightly complicated eyes, Clark Mueller patted the other party's shoulder and smiled bitterly: "Old friend, if it weren't for me, you wouldn't be involved in this dispute. As a friend, I have
It is your responsibility to ensure your safety. And you are different from me. Apart from Martha, I don’t have much to worry about in this world. And you also have Chris and David. As a husband and father, you have the responsibility to provide for them.
Protection and a better life. So, no matter when the time comes, you must live strong!"
"I know! We all have to stay strong and survive!" Sinclair said excitedly.
"certainly!"
Although he said this, Clark Mueller, who was more thoughtful, knew how difficult it would be for the two vulnerable groups to survive this disaster.
Especially when Liu Dong and others squeezed the last bit of residual value from him, their chances of survival were even lower.
But for Martha and for his life, he still had to fight.
"I hope he's not a treacherous guy!"
Facing Clark Mueller's eyes, Liu Dong said calmly: "You can rest assured. What I promised will be done naturally! As long as you tell what you are hiding, I can guarantee that you will get safety protection from us."
Assure!"
Clark Mueller understood the subtext of Liu Dong's words. If he left for Martha, Liu Dong would not be responsible for his life or death.
And such conditions were also expected by Clark Mueller.
Nodding slightly, taking a few deep breaths, and calming down his complicated emotions, Clark Muller spoke slowly: "This steel passage will not allow us to find Herakpus!"
Clark Mueller's first words caught everyone by surprise.
"Since this passage does not lead to Herakpus, why did the Germans build it?" Liu Dong said solemnly.
With the usual rigor of the Germans, they obviously would not do a face-saving project without any benefit. What's more, the amount of this project is not small, and it was during the war period when supplies were scarce in the early 20th century.
"The purpose of this passage is to avoid wind and sand!"
"Escape from the wind and sand?" Liu Dong asked in surprise.
"That's right! Legend has it that during the New Kingdom of ancient Egypt, the army led by Ramses II suffered heavy losses in the northern battle against the Hittite invasion, and was forced to abandon the capital and retreat to Thebes. But the pursuers
The Hittite cavalry disrupted the Egyptians' retreat plan. Ramesses II escaped under the protection of a small number of guards, while the high priest Sheshunk led the Egyptian soldiers and civilians in Cairo to resist the Hittite military invasion tenaciously, but
In the end, because they were outnumbered, the Egyptians suffered heavy losses and had to withdraw from Cairo and retreat towards the sacrificial city 'Herakpus' in the desert."
"Because the high priest Sheshunk took away almost all the treasures in the Egyptian capital when he retreated. So the greedy Hittites did not give up the pursuit. The war between the two sides continued from Cairo to 'Herakpus', soaked in blood
into the desert. Corpses were pushed like mountains, and both sides suffered heavy casualties. But the Egyptians, who had lost support, were even more helpless."
"Finally, in order to ensure that Egypt's wealth does not fall into the hands of invaders. At the same time, in order to prevent the sacrificial city 'Herakpus', which has been passed down for more than a thousand years and has accumulated a large amount of wealth, from being poisoned by the Hittites, it was defeated in the war.
Previously, the high priest Sheshunk sacrificed the lives of all the sacrifices, including his own, and set a terrible curse for Herakpus."
"Curse?" Liu Dong couldn't help but asked in surprise.
He is naturally curious about all supernatural things. This is also due to his incredible relic Yuanguang.
"Yes!" Clark Mueller, who was immersed in his own thoughts, nodded, and did not pay attention to Liu Dong, but continued: "According to legend, after the curse of the high priest Sheshunke was completed, on the peaceful desert
Suddenly a large-scale sandstorm appeared, and the overwhelming sand and dust drowned the Hittite army. At the same time, it also covered the sacrificial city 'Herakpus' that was originally located on the ground under the yellow sand. Since then, nearly three thousand years have passed.
Over time, no one has found it again. It was not until World War II that the Germans rediscovered its traces."
After nodding thoughtfully, Liu Dong looked startled, suddenly raised his head and looked directly at Clark Mueller and said solemnly: "If we want to find the ancient city of Herakpus, do we have to resort to sandstorms?"
Although he was a little surprised by Liu Dong's quick thinking, Clark Mueller nodded without concealment.
"That's right, according to my grandfather's notes, only on January 15th every year, after the Satanic storm, will the ancient city of Heracles really emerge from the yellow sand! In addition, unless you can gather hundreds of thousands of people to cover a few kilometers in radius,
Within it, tens of millions of tons of yellow sand have been excavated. Otherwise, it would be impossible to find the ancient city!"
After listening, Liu Dong nodded clearly.
At this moment, his attention was more focused on the 'Satan Storm' spit out from Clark Mueller's mouth. As for the latter method, Liu Dong didn't even consider it. Not to mention the difficulty of digging hundreds of thousands of people in a hurry,
Even if he really found so many people, he might not be able to dig out the ancient city of Herakpus.
Just like the British salvage of the Amazon Golden Lake in 1911. Even if they used modern pumping equipment to pump out the lake water, by the time they brought the excavation equipment from behind, the originally dry lake had already been filled again by rainfall.
Already.
Liu Dong estimated that if he really planned to dig out the ancient city of Herakpus manually, regardless of the Egyptian government's obstruction, the final result would probably be the same as the British.
Before he could dig out the ancient city, the storm in the desert had already filled up the results of his labor of several days and more than ten days with new yellow sand.
The most indispensable thing among the largest deserts in the world is yellow sand.
"So, this passage was built to avoid Satan's storm?" Liu Dong said.
"Yes!" After a slight hesitation, Clark Mueller nodded.
"January 15th, then the day after tomorrow?" Liu Dong said thoughtfully.
"That's right!"
"Da da……!"
Just when Clark Mueller nodded, loud gunshots suddenly came from the long tunnel behind them.
"Oops, Sect Master, it's probably the gunshots we fired just now that alerted the mercenaries left behind!" Rody's expression changed.
"I know!"
Hearing the increasingly fierce gunshots, everyone here except Liu Dong showed nervousness on their faces.
In fact, it is no wonder that they are like this. Anyone who is cut off from their escape route and becomes a "turtle in the urn" will not feel good.
"Turn off everyone's flashlights!" Liu Dong stood up and ordered.
"Turn off the flashlight?"
Liu Dong's order left everyone confused.
"Didn't you hear the door master asked to turn off the flashlight? Hurry up!" Rody, who has been cultivating obedience for a long time, was the first to wake up and urged everyone to carry out the order.
Soon, at Rody's urging, all the flashlights in everyone's hands were turned off. Without the light of the strong flashlights, the steel tunnel located hundreds of meters underground immediately became invisible.
Seeing this, Liu Dong nodded with satisfaction and strode to the left side of the alloy door. Because the alloy door was deeply penetrated into the hard mountain of Suowan Mountain, what Liu Dong was facing at this moment was immediately to the left of the alloy door.
Behind the steel ladder passage on the side is not rolling sand, but the hard rock of Suowan Mountain.
After briefly estimating the size of the cross-section of the steel channel, Liu Dong used the relic Yuanguang to remove a long boulder from Suowan Mountain that was two meters wide, two meters high and five meters long, four meters long and weighed more than ten tons.
If it weren't for the fact that his relic Yuanguang was compressed by a strong magnetic field here, Liu Dong would have extended this length to 13 meters.
However, although there is no way to take out so much at one time, it is still the same to take out the stones in three times.
After putting the three huge rocks into the mustard space, Liu Dong clapped his hands, turned around and said, "Okay, turn on the flashlight!"
After hearing his instructions, including Roddy and Clark, they couldn't wait to turn on their flashlights.
Except for a freak like Liu Dong who possesses the original light of the relic, no matter how powerful he is, he is not used to this kind of darkness that makes him unable to see his fingers.
But when they turned on their flashlights and discovered the 6-square-meter black hole not far from Liu Dong, everyone's faces showed disbelief.
It only lasted less than a minute, and they didn't hear any violent noises. How could Liu Dong dig such a large and seemingly shallow hole?
Compared to Clark Mueller and Sinclair, Roddy and the secret door killers, who had seen many extraordinary things about the door master along the way, were shocked, but the expressions on their faces quickly calmed down.
"Rody, you stay here with them, I'll go over and take a look!"
"Master, shall I go with you?" Rody quickly stood up and said.
"No need! I'm not going to fight this time, so I don't need you!"
"yes!"
"I'll be back in a minute!" After waving his hand, Liu Dong turned around and walked towards the back passage. And watching his back disappear into the darkness, Clark Mueller's face had such a complicated expression, and there was still something faintly hidden in it.
With a hint of fear.
