The little expedition team walked in the desert for a whole day, and Ryan took this opportunity to teach Hermione how to ride a horse. Although Hermione had ridden a few times as a child, at that time she could only ride a horse.
Walking on a flat horse field, she had never tried riding a horse before. So Ryan taught her how to ride a horse while on the road.
Fortunately, Hermione had gained excellent physical coordination and flexibility through many previous strengthening exercises, which allowed her to ride on a horse in just over half an hour. On the way, in order to prevent the group of descendants of the Pharaoh Guards from getting ahead of schedule,
Intercepting them, Ryan cast a secret magic on the entire team to hide their figures, and at the same time asked the Rose Crystal to call Jill out, using her intelligence erasure ability to completely remove the traces they left along the way.
Just as they walked for an afternoon and an evening, the stars in the dark blue sky faded, and the eastern sky slowly began to light up again. Evelin shouted loudly, "We are here now."
As soon as he finished speaking, a bright red line was embedded on the distant horizon, and then a golden ball of light appeared in front. The sun rose like this, showing its power at the same time. The surrounding temperature immediately rose rapidly.
Gao, when the sun hadn't risen before, he could still feel the cold wind blowing into his clothes, but now his whole body felt as warm as if he were in a heated room.
At the same time, on the empty and desolate Gobi Desert not far ahead, after the air blurred for a while, a city built of yellow stones and adobe bricks appeared out of thin air.
"Hamna Tower, this is Hamna Tower! This is simply a miracle. I swear I have never seen such a strange sight in my life." Jonathan vented his inner excitement loudly.
Ryan used the method recorded in Shangqing Taoism to open his eyes and then looked at the ruins in front of him. The scenery in his sight suddenly changed, and the dazzling golden sunlight on the Gobi Desert was almost completely blocked. It shrouded the ruins.
There was a black mist as thick as a mountain, and from time to time a human face stood out above it.
Hermione also looked at Ryan at this time. It was obvious that she was sensitive to the aura of death and felt the power hidden in the ruins.
But this is also Ryan's goal here, so Ryan relaxed the reins and clamped his legs on both sides of the horse's belly. The horse under his crotch sprinted forward like a charged arrow. And Hermione was also surprised when she saw this.
Caught up on horseback.
After entering the ruins, under the leadership of Evelin, they walked directly to a statue in the distance. After getting closer, Ryan discovered that the statue had a wolf head and a human body. It should be Anubis, the god of death in ancient Egyptian mythology.
Evelin was at home in this place, and her knowledge was put to full use. Soon she found several metal discs. According to her, they were ancient Egyptian mirrors, which were used by people in ancient times to reflect sunlight.
A special tool specially made to illuminate the underground. Finding this also means that there is a way down to the main ruins nearby.
Soon Hermione found a hole leading to the underground through the death breath leaking from the ruins, and then fixed the mirror to provide a light source underground.
The four of them used magic to descend slowly, and then Evelin found an ancient mirror and slightly adjusted the direction of the mirror. Instantly, the entire dark space was illuminated. It turned out that there were many ancient mirrors in the room, and these mirrors were
Cleverly fixed at a specific position, the light can be continuously reflected to illuminate the entire room.
"This is the preparation room. This is where the ancient Egyptians made mummies. The things we are looking for will not be here." After looking around, Evelin gave her definite judgment, so everyone could only
move on.
At this time, Ryan took out four helmets with headlights for everyone to wear, and then walked through a long tunnel under the illumination of the headlights to reach another room.
"These should be the legs of the Death sculpture above." Evelin said while looking at the beautifully carved stone platform in the corner of the room. This was an obvious situation because there were two dark legs.
Step on the stone platform.
"The secret compartment should be somewhere at the bottom. According to the introduction on the stone tablet in the Cairo Museum, the Golden Book of the Sun is hidden at the foot of the statue of the God of Death in the Hamna Tower..." Evelin kept looking at the tower.
Stone platform, muttering to herself. Finally, after knocking the entire stone platform, she excitedly wanted to use the crowbar in her hand to pry open a stone slab.
"Isn't archeology supposed to be done bit by bit with thick gloves and a small brush or something? What is Evelin doing?" Hermione looked shocked when she saw the gravel that Evelin used a crowbar to fly.
asked.
"This should be a feature of archeology in this era, right? I remember that Schliemann, who dug Troy, dug a huge trench directly above the ruins in order to dig out the ruins of Troy he wanted as quickly as possible, causing damage or confusion to many digs.
Antiquities." Ryan replied after recalling a certain book he had read. "Of course, we can't let them be so reckless here."
After speaking, Ryan stepped forward and stopped Evelin, who was trying in vain to pry open the slate: "Miss Evelin, you need to consider that normal people would set up many traps around this kind of treasure, such as traps or worse.
It’s a magical curse. And it’s easy to get caught directly by someone like you.”
"You are right, I was so excited that I forgot about it." Evelin dropped the crowbar in her hand. "Then what do you think we should do? Are you willing to release magic?"
"Well, no." Ryan shook his head. "Because we feel that the entire ruins are shrouded in a special magic barrier. Once we use magic, it is likely to cause some bad consequences. But we
There is an alternative."
A minute later, under the shocked eyes of the Evelin brothers and sisters, two man-sized spider-like steel robots crawled out of a blue door, then inserted several steel pieces into the gap and began to drag.
The steel cable connected to the steel piece is pulled outward.
The power of the machine is definitely not comparable to that of humans. Within a few minutes, with a bang, a whole black stone slab was unloaded, and a large amount of high-pressure white liquid was sprayed out. Two steel cables were corroded and broken in an instant.
.
"That's some kind of strong acid." Hermione said after seeing this, and then turned to Evelyn and Jonathan next to her, "So I hope you can listen to us for a while and never make your own decisions. Otherwise, something fatal will happen."
It's an injury we can't save even if we have magic."
"Of course, of course." Evelin and Jonathan were also frightened by the scene just now. If the strong acid that can corrode steel instantly corrodes people, they will probably die on the spot.
After a while, after confirming that there were no other mechanisms, they took out a large box from the hole behind the stone slab. Blowing away the dust on the box, Evelin looked at the hieroglyphics written on the lid and read:
"Anyone who opens this box will inevitably be killed. Once this box is opened, the evil spirit sealed by the holy law will break the curse and return to the world. He will kill everyone who opens the box and take away their internal organs.
The six internal organs and blood are resurrected through this. The cursed spirit turns into a monster that harms the world."
As soon as he finished speaking, a strange sound echoed in the space. Everyone felt as if something had been activated.
"This is just a common threat in ancient Egyptian tombs. We" Jonathan was trying to calm everyone down when he suddenly saw Ryan and Hermione staring at him with extremely serious expressions. "This can't be true, can it?"
"It's true." Ryan nodded, "There is an extremely powerful magic item inside, and in addition there are several sources of curses. Once the box is opened, we think it is very likely that the curses written on the lid will become
real."
"Then what should we do? After hearing what you said, I think the thing we are looking for is in this box. Are we going to go back empty-handed like this? You are wizards!" Evelin looked a little excited.
"That's not necessary." Ryan nodded and said. "We are professionals when it comes to facing such resentful spirits, but we have to make a lot of preparations in advance."
