Wang Xu raised his head slightly, glanced at the shocked Paul, and looked around expressionlessly.
The entrance to the underground cave does not lead to the inside of the pyramid, but to a huge underground cave.
The cave is 300 meters high, and a 200-meter-high pyramid stands quietly in the center.
Below everyone's feet is the plank road of the pyramid, with stone steps climbing upwards, leading to the top of the pyramid, where is the entrance to the pyramid.
Whoosh!!
Another flare flew up, lighting up the interior space.
An expert controlled the computer, took off the oxygen breathing mask on his face, and said: "The oxygen concentration here is very high. There are no harmful substances. We can breathe freely here."
Everyone took off their masks one after another, with excitement in each other's eyes.
Woods held a lighting gun, stood next to Charles and said: "Congratulations, Mr. Charles, the size of this pyramid far exceeds the size of the Pyramid of Khufu, the largest pyramid in the world. As the person who discovered it, you can
He will leave his name in history."
"Thank you, I want to thank each of you for letting us witness history." Charles took a deep breath and was the first to walk onto the plank road.
The plank road leads all the way to the top of the pyramid, and on both sides of the plank road are huge stone statues more than ten meters high.
The members of the expert team who followed us picked up their cameras and started taking pictures. They were very interested in these statues holding spears and half kneeling on the ground.
"Dr. Miller, what are these statues for?"
"They are the guards who guard the pyramids. The ancients believed that the pyramids were the paradise of the dead. Everything people built in the world of the dead would also be reflected in the world of the dead. In their minds, the owners of the tombs in another world would revive and win.
Eternal life, and these huge stone guards will be resurrected to fight for the owner of the tomb."
Two scholars from the expert group walked in front and discussed in low voices.
Wang Xu smiled half-heartedly when he heard this. This was not a mausoleum pyramid, but a training ground for the Predator.
Whenever a Predator dies in the trial, the Predator will build a stone statue outside. This pyramid has a history of more than three thousand years.
On average, the pyramid is activated once every hundred years. It is conservatively estimated that a total of more than thirty trials have been held from its construction to the present.
With so many times, it is impossible for the Predator to win every time, nor can it be unscathed every time.
Just look at these dozen huge stone statues. At least a dozen Predators died during the trial. According to the plot of the Predator itself, the destruction of Atlantis civilization, Aztec civilization, and Mayan civilization
, it was all because of the failure of the Predator that civilization restarted.
These civilizations that disappeared overnight were all cleared out by the Predator, because the Predator has a rule. Whenever the trial fails, that is, all Predator members are killed, the civilization where the pyramid is located will be cleared to pay tribute to the dead Predator.
Buried with.
Half an hour later, after an arduous trek, everyone arrived at the entrance of the pyramid.
This is a very grand passage. The arch at the entrance is twenty meters high, and its shape is similar to the Arc de Triomphe.
Walking along the passage, there are two rows of murals on the left and right. The murals are engraved with scenes of Predators fighting aliens, as well as scenes of ancient people worshiping Predators as gods.
Everyone held their breath, because murals are the most intuitive description of history. In front of these totem-like murals, everyone has the illusion of walking into history.
"Oh my God, is this a spaceship?" Miller shined his flashlight upwards, illuminating a special mural.
The mural is clearly engraved with a huge spaceship suspended in the sky above the pyramid. Under the pyramid are tens of thousands of people, led by a suspected leader, worshiping the spaceship.
.
This is a rare description in murals. Among the ten murals, at least nine depict battle scenes.
There are only ten murals with human beings appearing, and this mural with spaceships as the main theme and humans as the supplement is the only one among the murals.
"Leave two experts to collect these murals, and the others will continue walking inside, which is the core area of the pyramid." Charles gave an order, and the two members of the expert team were left behind, while the others continued to move forward.
Wang Xu was also in the advancing team. He stroked the murals on both sides with his hands and whispered: "The bait has been thrown down, it's time for the hunters to appear!"
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh
At the same time, three missile-like aircraft were ejected from the stealth spacecraft docked on Jupiter.
The three aircraft began to accelerate at the same time. Their fuel was not any type known to mankind, their speed was super high, and they did not carry any fire.
After a few breaths, a few electric currents flashed from the surface of the aircraft, and the spacecraft disappeared into the universe.
"Look, there is a hall ahead, a very unique hall."
Along with the exclamations, the team began to speed up and soon arrived in a hall.
This is the end of the passage and the first room after the passage.
Everyone rushed in and saw eight platforms placed in the center of the hall.
On each platform, there is a skeleton, surrounded by stone tablets with inscriptions, and a mural of humans holding hands, singing, dancing and celebrating.
"Professor Sebastian, what is written on this?" Charles turned his head slightly and looked at a young man with blond hair.
Professor Sebastian is an expert in language and history, specializing in Egyptian literature and Aztec literature.
After hearing what Charles said, Sebastian came up with a flashlight and said: "These are three mixed scripts. The first script is Egyptian hieroglyphics, the second is Aztec, and the third is Babylonian."
The words combined together mean that only the chosen ones can come here and meet the new mission."
"What mission?"
"I don't know. Let me read it carefully. This kind of inscription is a fusion of three systems of characters. If you mispronounce one word, the meaning will change. It will take some time to understand them."
Professor Sebastian stroked the inscription. Ten minutes later, he suddenly exclaimed and said: "I read it out. This hall is called the Sacrifice Hall, and these people lying on the stone bed are called devotees. Devotees
They were selected from different places and came here to help the gods complete a certain ritual, a ritual that they considered very glorious.
It’s just that I don’t understand some parts, expel the shell, breed the reptiles, kill the reptiles, honor, what does it mean, that’s what it means literally.”
"Look at the chests of these people." Before he could continue reading, Paul used the flashlight on his rifle to shine on the corpses lying on the stone bed.
Upon entering the eyes, the corpse had its arms folded over its chest, as if it was protecting something.
Looking inside along the light, passing around the arms of the corpse, I saw that there seemed to be a vague hole in the position where the hands were protecting it.
"What the hell?" Henry took out his machete and slashed it down, cutting off the arm of the corpse.
Only then did everyone see clearly that there was really a big hole under the corpse's hands. The hole was as big as a fist, neither up nor down, and was right in the middle of the chest.
"During sacrifices, it is very common to remove the internal organs of the victim. This should be part of the ritual." A scholar spoke, intending to explain this phenomenon.
But as soon as these words were spoken, another scholar retorted: "No, look at his chest. The ribs here are turned outwards, as if something is coming out of it. Moreover, the internal organs are used as
Sacrifice will never damage the integrity of the corpse, because the ancients were very superstitious and believed that a mutilated corpse could not rest in peace."
Wang Xu found it quite interesting to see a group of experts and scholars fighting over the death of the sacrificer.
If he remembered correctly, the chosen one walked into the sacrificial hall, and the pyramid ceremony started.
At this moment, I am afraid that the Predators have already set off from the spaceship and begun to descend on the earth to prepare for hunting.
These people don't have to worry about it at all. Soon they will be used as sacrifices and enjoy the sacrifices that the ancients once enjoyed. By then, they will know what is going on, and they will have experienced it personally.
