At the same time, the American expedition team on the other side also gained something.
Although three Arab workers were melted due to high-pressure sulfuric acid when digging the relief, they also obtained a box with a somewhat strange shape hidden inside.
After moving out, archaeological experts Henderson and Benny, Burns and Benny who were leading the way, all gathered around them. There was a faint look of expectation and surprise in their eyes. After the excavation until now, is it okay?
Yi Yi finally gained something. They all wanted to see what the person who could be buried in the tomb was protected by using high-pressure sulfuric acid as a mechanism.
Burns was about to reach out to open it, but was stopped by expert Henderson: "Be careful, there is a curse on this box."
"What kind of curse can this box have?" Penny on the side said with some disapproval as he habitually pulled off the cowboy hat on his head with his hands.
According to Penny's reckless character, the first way he thought of opening the box was to smash it open.
"In this kind of place, the ancient curse is still very effective." Henderson took a deep breath and said with a somewhat preachy tone, and hurriedly corrected Beni's dangerous idea.
"Then what's written on it?" Penny temporarily suppressed the urge to open the box directly, and then asked.
Henderson used the handkerchief in his hand to carefully dust off the dust that was walking on the box. His wise eyes scanned the Egyptian characters engraved on the wooden box, and according to the characters on it, he read out word by word:
"Anyone who opens this box...will inevitably be killed."
As soon as these words were spoken, a strange evil wind suddenly blew in the already cool and dark cave, which almost extinguished the torches they used to illuminate. Some of the fearful Arab workers,
Then they hugged their white turbans and ran out of the cave in panic.
"We shouldn't be here."
"It looks like things are not going well."
At this time, some people in the American expedition team had already begun to complain. Although they knew that before coming to Hamna Tower, it was also full of dangers as the pharaoh's tomb, but for the legendary mountains and seas,
Compared with gold and silver treasures, this kind of danger is only a very general and abstract concept, but at this time, they faintly felt that there were also hidden dangers and hidden dangers accompanying gold and silver treasures.
"There is also a sentence written on it: 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, take their internal organs and blood, and use this method to
And when he is reborn, he transforms from a cursed spirit into a monster that brings harm to the world!"
After listening to these words in his ears, Benny's deep black eye sockets also wrinkled tightly together, with a look of extreme fear on his face, and his legs couldn't stop shaking. Before they could open the box,
, as soon as the soles of his feet were smeared with oil, he turned around and ran away in embarrassment, shouting: "It's a curse, be careful of the curse!"
"This superstitious guy." Burns sneered disdainfully, and after looking at each other in tacit understanding, Burns and Penny each held a corner of the box lid with both hands and lifted it up.
"Chichi."
A cloud of white smoke mixed with sour rot and pungent smell was seen rising from the lid. After Henderson flapped his palms to drive away some of the white smoke, when he looked at the contents stored in the box, he couldn't help but feel something in front of his eyes.
Liang Liang, took out a heavy book from inside, and the surface was as black as ink. He felt like he had found a treasure: "This Black Book of the Dead is really a priceless treasure!"
At this moment, Beni was about to take a look at the content described in the Black Book of the Dead, but he inadvertently kicked off the hidden compartment under the box with his toes. What was revealed inside were five jars.
Their workmanship is very exquisite, the jar lids are in the shape of five different animal heads, and the edges around them are inlaid with gold, silver and jade beads, making them look like priceless treasures.
…
…
"The Sun Bible has been successfully obtained. I wonder if they have made any progress in digging there?" After Li Xiao put the Sun Bible into his arms, he piled up a thick pile of sand with both hands and started again.
The ground is filled into the sun stone statue. After taking a real picture, if you don't look carefully, you won't notice its change at all.
After a simple cover-up, just as he was about to return along the original road, his figure suddenly stopped on the spot and his brows furrowed deeply, because he just suddenly heard a rustle coming from the corner.
The sound of rustling sand.
At this time, not far behind him, suddenly there was sand continuously gathering towards this side, as if a small sand dune was raised, and the strange sound just now also changed from slight to louder.
It’s huge, from far to near, as if it’s ringing in your ears!
"puff."
Wherever he looked, he saw a black spot suddenly appear in the sand dune, and this black spot was like an epiphyllum, blooming rapidly from the inside out, rapidly expanding from a single black spot to a dense
The swarms are like a pool of stinking black water rolling towards this side. The noisy and harsh strange sounds are "sizzling" like the interweaving of electricity. If you look carefully,
, I saw that the black spots that made up the black liquid were none other than fierce black beetles.
"This is... a scarab?!"
Seeing this situation, Li Xiao couldn't help but feel terrified.
In the original movie, Immorton was sealed in the sarcophagus by the holy law because of his affair with the pharaoh's wife, and he was punished by being bitten by hundreds of insects, and the insect here refers to this scarab!
It is carnivorous, and can survive by eating the corpses or feces of other animals. Its vitality and reproductive ability are very powerful. As for its attack power, it cannot be reflected by just one, but once you have enough
Their number will be like that of piranhas in the desert. If they attack in groups, they will definitely have unparalleled attack power.
As long as the sea of insects passes by, it will be like tarsal maggots, eating up everything on the human body, leaving only a skeleton. Such a scene in the movie also left a lasting impression on Li Xiao
Very impressed.
…
…
Just when the dense scarabs were quickly surrounding Li Xiao's feet, Li Xiao took a deep breath, tapped his toes heavily on the ground, and soared into the air like a bamboo dragonfly that escaped gravity.
He got up and escaped the scarabs that came like a tidal wave.
Just when his head was about to hit the top of the stone mausoleum, his palms and feet were like suction cups, firmly grasping the stone wall, and his body followed the trend and leaned up against it. If Spider-Man were here
If you do, you will definitely be surprised to find that someone can perform the same signature moves as him.
However, those scarabs had no intention of giving up. Their area of activity was not limited to the ground. The dense sea of insects divided into two groups and surged along the walls on both sides of the narrow corridor. Li Xiao did not care at all.
Dare to be careless, his hands and feet were firmly attached to the top of the mausoleum, and he used the wall-walking technique borrowed from the Flying Tigers movie. He increased his speed and strength to the extreme, and his body pressed against the stone wall quickly.
Climb.
He thought he could get rid of them so easily, but what surprised Li Xiao was that the speed of those scarabs was not slow either, and they were unable to distance themselves. In this crisscrossed terrain, they were actually caught by them.
After catching up, Li Xiao's figure was submerged by the sea of scarabs in no time!
Even with his high physical strength and the increase of Dragon Origin Power, Li Xiao is as hard as fine steel, but he would still be a little unable to withstand the bites of hundreds of scarabs, if not for his body-protecting strength.
If you give me blessing, I'm afraid it will be more bad than good.
Enduring the heart-wrenching pain, Li Xiao let out a low cry, and he pulled out a bright silver shield. After spinning around in front of him, it transformed into the size of ten feet and protected him.
Heartfelt.
At the same time, a spell engraved with mysterious spiritual patterns was thrown heavily by Li Xiao. He made handprints and recited the spell silently. Then, a stream of Yang Gang mana containing awe-inspiring power burst open, forming a huge
The shock wave swept away from it, shaking away many scarabs.
Finally, surrounded by the vast insect pests, an exit was finally revealed. Li Xiao used the Edman shield to protect his heart steadily, and at the same time, with the help of the rebound force generated by the fluctuation of the mana explosion, he rubbed his toes in the air.
Stepping lightly, it's like stepping on invisible steps, leveraging your strength, and your body spins along the way! The Taoist ladder is like a cloud, and the nine-transformation movement of Tianxing is light and mysterious, low in the sky in the Diling Corridor.
After a while, Li Xiao left the direction he came from, left the underground mausoleum, and landed on the ground.
Amidst the noisy sound of "sizzling", those scarabs immediately chased to the entrance of Diling Cave, but they seemed to be afraid of something, entrenched themselves inside, and did not dare to come out.
"Are they afraid of something in the outside world? In the movie, the scarab's activity range seems to stay in the tomb, and does not exceed this range." Thinking of this, Li Xiao couldn't help but murmur to himself.
, at the same time, his eyes couldn't help but scan around, trying to search for this reason. Finally, he raised his head and his eyes stopped at the silver moon disk hanging above his head.
"Is it possible?" A flash of light flashed in his mind. At the same time, as Li Xiao's mind moved, a Bagua mirror appeared in his hand. On the dark sky, the cold and pure lunar light fell on it.
Above the ground, one of the afterglows also fell on the Bagua Mirror. After being refracted, the beam of light penetrated into the Diling Cave. All scarabs that were illuminated seemed to be burned by blazing flames.
Roasted, making a sizzling crackling sound.
The bodies of countless insects also burst open loudly, green juice dripped out, and at the same time there was a suffocating stench. In a moment, the skeletons and corpses of scarabs were piled up in the entire cave.
It gives people an extremely eerie feeling. The cold wind blows, and the stench spreads further.
After dealing with these scarabs, Li Xiao finally let out a long breath, put the Bagua Mirror and Edman Shield into the system space, calmed down his ups and downs, discerned the direction below, and headed towards the future.
Walk to the camp in the distance.
It got dark earlier than he expected, and bonfires were lit in the temporary camps. There was a faint sound of snoring in the tents. It seemed that he had just fought with the scarab.
, it also took a lot of time.
Just as he was preparing to go to the location of the Carson expedition, he discovered that in another camp with a bonfire on, O'Connor and Evelin were nesting in a corner, looking sneaky.
appearance.
Among them, Evelin was holding a black scripture in her hand. While reciting the contents of the scripture in Egyptian language, she also did not forget to explain its meaning to O'Connor who was standing aside.
"Don't read out the contents of the scripture!" Li Xiao was about to say something to stop him, but it was too late.
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a roar full of curses coming from the depths of the tomb. It seemed to come from the hell of Jiuyou. It was desolate and fierce, deafening and terrifying.
