Chapter 1843 The Glory of the World to the Sun (47)
At the same time (?), somewhere in Africa, in the pyramid of Menes, the first pharaoh.
"Wow." As soon as he walked down the stairs and entered the next level of the pyramid, Lawrence the Great immediately let out an exclamation that sounded quite funny.
Bedivere did not complain. Lawrence had such a sigh for a reason. The scene in front of them was beyond common sense, and even Bedivere had not expected it beforehand.
The room in front of them was simply exaggeratedly large. Originally, the walls and ceiling of this ancient tomb were all covered with magical runes that would emit light. Even without other lighting systems, it should be able to illuminate the environment very brightly.
However, the huge room with a plane area of at least one thousand square feet in front of Bediwell and the others was so big that even the light from the runes all over the ceiling and walls could not completely cover its center, so the room was extremely dark.
And it seemed to be very deep. What caused it to be so "deep" was not clear yet. Bediwell only felt that there was a mist blocking the light source from the entrance of the room, as if the light was below the ground after entering the door.
It's like a bottomless abyss. If you step into it, you'll fall to your death.
"Let's take a look." Academician Zuster raised the ultra-bright flashlight for lighting and searched the road in front of him.
The flashlight was very bright. It penetrated the layer of mist and shined directly into the seemingly bottomless abyss space under the room, but reflected sparkling waves.
There's actually a lake underneath this damn huge room.
Wait. An artificial lake? In the tomb of a pharaoh?
Isn’t this too nonsense?!
"Humph, this is not ordinary water." Eric, the strategist who was quietly observing the situation, hummed.
Bedivere then took a closer look at the water in the room. Under the light of the flashlight, under the thick mist like soup, the black water surface rippled with microwaves. The black water seemed bottomless, but
It's also possible that the water is originally black, and Bediwell doesn't dare to imagine what the ingredients are in it.
Moreover, there seems to be something swimming under the water. The ripples on the water are not the result of wind and grass, but are probably caused by the strange things swimming under the water.
Is that a fish? In the ancient tomb of the Pharaoh, in the never-seen environment, the ancient fish has survived for thousands of years?
But it wasn't. A horrifying scene emerged from the water and appeared in front of Bediwell's eyes. Those were white bones, which were the remains of some kind of ancient marine creature that had died long ago, but they appeared in front of people in the form of a dead spirit. That
The fossilized fish revealed its white bone dorsal fin full of spikes from the black water, which looked particularly frightening against the backdrop of the pale lights and dense fog.
"Is that the undead?" Bedivere then muttered: "Or is it some kind of ugly golem with low taste?"
"It's all possible." The academician replied: "The ancient Egyptians were ahead of the world in the technology of making golems. The undead... are actually not very different from the golems."
"What?" Bedivere was confused.
Seeing Bedivere's ignorance, Strategist Eric frowned and explained: "The so-called [dead spirit] you are talking about is actually a technology that injects commanded photon cores into corpses to make them move. Demonic
The image is to directly use a carrier loaded with a commanded photon core, put it into some kind of manufactured body, and let it move. The two are also puppets driven by a photon core."
"This is the first time I've heard of this..." Bedivere said.
"To be more precise, the technology of making photon cores is close to a kind of spell, rather than a kind of magic. Magic was very popular in ancient Egypt, and the ancient Egyptians were best at sealing certain photons with command properties into the core.
, use the core to control the golems." Eric continued, during which time his eyes couldn't help but glance at his brother Lawrence, although it was just a fleeting glance: "The Egyptians know how to control a large number of golems to replace
Artificial labor, so there is enough labor to build very large buildings like the pyramids. Of course, some fine parts, such as inscribing magic runes on the walls, still need to be done by hand. The golems are too
I'm stupid and can't do it."
"Heh." Bedivere snorted as an answer. He has learned a lot.
But whether they were undead or golems, the bone fish swimming in the black water in front of them were still very dangerous things. It was obvious that they had been given some kind of order by the builder of the pyramid to annihilate them.
Everyone tries to get through here.
It is very irrational to swim across this large artificial lake with bare hands. What's more, Bedivere is a landlubber.
"I believe you have the equipment to cross the lake, right?" So Bediwell turned to Academician Zuster: "Let me tell you clearly first, I can't swim, and I will drown if I touch the water.
.And there seem to be a lot of monsters lurking in this damn black water, and I don’t intend to fight them in the water."
"There is equipment for crossing the lake. Before the excavation team comes, they always prepare corresponding equipment for various situations." Zuster then said: "I just don't know if it can withstand the attack of monsters in the water."
Then there were several scholars behind him taking out strange backpack-like objects from their storage pockets. After they were spread out on the ground and started to inflate and take shape automatically, Bediwell realized that they were actually some
Inflatable rubber boat.
"Aha, do you want us to go there in a balloon? It's interesting." Bedivere said sarcastically: "Then I can only sincerely hope that these balloons will not be punctured by the bone spurs of those monsters on the way across the lake."
"This is a specially made high-tenacity reinforced rubber that cannot be cut with a knife." A scholar on the side muttered. However, he was obviously afraid of Bedivere and did not dare to speak loudly in front of the werewolf youth.
"Huh..." Bediwell went over and pinched the rubber boat a few times. The rubber of the rubber boat was indeed very strong. Bediwell took out his dagger and cut it several times and even stabbed it several times. The rubber was not only
It is so flexible that it can withstand cutting and puncture, and it also deforms along with the blade, relying on the elastic deformation of the specially reinforced rubber itself to offset the force of the blade's puncture.
Generally speaking, this rubber boat looks really strong. Whether it can withstand the attack of the bone fish in the water, whether they are undead or golems, is unknown. But since Bediwell and the others currently have no
For a better way to cross the lake, he could only rely on these rubber boats, which he didn't know whether they were reliable or not.
"If you are really that scared, I can cross the lake alone and send you there using a teleportation device." Strategist Eric said to Bediwell. There was no mockery in his tone, but Bediwell
As a landlubber, Will always felt that Eric was mocking him.
"No need. There are only two transmission devices left. Just keep them. Maybe the traps on the lower floors will be more dangerous." Bedivere said angrily.
"If you insist." Eric said nothing. Anyway, he is the least worried among the people here. The strategist doesn't even need to rely on these rubber boats to cross the lake. The wheelchair he is sitting on is already floating and can
Floating directly on the water and flying over. In fact, when everyone was sitting on the rubber boat and had difficulty moving, only the floating shield released by Eric could ensure the safety of the excavation team.
The premise, of course, is that those monsters in the water don't sink the rubber boat.
Crash, lala, lala. The researchers threw the rubber boats down one after another, letting them float on the water at the edge of the room. There was actually a gap from the edge of the room. If those scholars hadn't grasped the ropes of the rubber boats tightly with their hands, maybe the rubber
The boat drifted away before they could get in.
Bediwell also jumped down carefully and landed on the rubber boat. In fact, this thing was not as bad as the werewolf young man imagined. The part of it that touched the water was almost non-inflatable, and only a circle around it was inflated.
bucket-shaped guardrail.
This type of rubber boat is specially designed for wild rapids adventures. The bottom is heavily thickened with reinforced rubber. The thick and hard bottom of the rubber boat can even allow people to stand on it safely without feeling shaking at all. This design not only
It not only makes the rubber boat itself more stable during navigation, but also prevents various possible sharp rocks from below the water surface from scratching the inflated part of the rubber boat and causing air leakage.
"It's not as bad as I thought." Big Lawrence also jumped onto the rubber boat and landed next to Bedivere. This guy even deliberately shook the rubber boat as a prank, as if to scare Beidi, who was already nervous.
Diville.
"Don't make trouble." The werewolf young man rolled his eyes at Lawrence and said fiercely.
"Pfft." Lawrence then calmly sat down cross-legged, but still had a snickering look on his face. Bedivere wanted to kill him.
The werewolf young man grabbed the armrest on the edge of the rubber boat with one hand and unfolded the electromagnetic protection ring of the tungsten turtle tongue whip. Although he was not sure whether the electromagnetic protection ring could defend against attacks from under the water, he had no other means of defense for the time being.
For him, deploying the protective ring is better than nothing.
"Then, let's set off." Strategist Eric, who was floating on the water in a floating wheelchair, glanced at Bedivere and Big Lawrence, and a very subtle look flashed across his face, but it was fleeting. He released
The floating shield has long turned into a large-scale shield battle, patrolling near the three rubber boats. However, this shield array can actually only defend against attacks from the side. Attacks from the bottom of the water, especially from the bottom of the boat, are estimated to be
There is no way to defend against it.
"I hope those bone fish won't sink the ship." Academician Zuster also said, sitting next to Bedivere, as if he thought Bedivere could provide him with a certain degree of protection.
Rumble, rumble, rumble. Accompanied by the rotation of the propeller driven by the small motor, and under a very small noise, the three rubber boats slowly moved forward towards the other side of the lake about a hundred yards away. Scholars believe that this speed and noise can be as high as
It is possible to avoid irritating things underwater, but Bediwell is not optimistic.
The werewolf youth seemed to be able to feel something peering at them in the thick fog and ominous black water.
