Zhu Yu's eyes were fixed on the golden snake on the central sarcophagus and the statue of the woman.
The snake looked like it was carved from gold, but in Zhu Yu's eyes, it was just a living snake that could change color!
The snake's head stood tall and straight, its erect pupils staring at Zhu Yu, as if it would pounce at any time!
Zhu Yu remained calm, but he had already tightened his grip on the engineering shovel in his hand, and put away the lamp in his other hand. Instead, it was the dogleg knife taken from his uncle Zhu Dajiang that was first placed in the space!
Seeing that the snake was motionless, Zhu Yu walked over directly.
If it’s not just me, I’ll go see the mountains!
Zhu Yu walked to the sarcophagus. The disguised snake felt the threat, shrank its body, and rushed towards Zhu Yu like a spring!
Zhu Yu was already prepared, and he thrust the dog-legged knife from bottom to top toward the long snake's neck!
What surprised Zhu Yu was that the snake actually adjusted its body direction by swinging its tail in the air, and a pair of flying wings suddenly swelled up from its neck. It was like a fish swimming in the air, changing its position and moving towards the snake. Bite Zhu Yu's neck!
Zhu Yu was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat!
This thing is so flexible!
Look down on it!
He suddenly took a step sideways, avoiding the snake's head, and at the same time, the engineer shovel hit the snake's head hard!
That snake was worthy of being the leader of so many venomous snakes, and worthy of being the guy who had commanded a group of snakes in a battle. When the engineer shovel was about to hit his head, he swung his body violently, avoiding the engineer shovel, and at the same time, his tail fiercely pointed towards Zhu Yu came over!
Zhu Yu stretched out his hand to pinch the snake's tail, only to find that the snake's tail was very slippery and he couldn't catch it. The snake flapped its wings, turned around and flew back to the sarcophagus!
Zhu Yu couldn't help but admire this snake's ability to stay in the air!
The snake coiled its body around the female statue in the sarcophagus, with its head raised high and its eyes staring at Zhu Yu.
Zhu Yu put away the engineer shovel and dog leg knife, thinking how much effort it would take to deal with it at this time!
Two pistols with silencers soon appeared in his hands.
If he didn't want to alarm Ran Jie and the others above, Zhu Yu would have taken out his sniper rifle and hit the snake's head!
When Zhu Yu drew his gun, the snake seemed to feel the threat and swam backwards quickly!
"Bang bang bang!"
A series of crisp gunshots rang out, and bullets chased the snake's body!
What surprised Zhu Yu was that when the bullets hit the snake, most of them slipped away. Only two bullets entered the snake's body, leaving two wounds on the snake.
The snake wanted to escape, but how could Zhu Yu let it do so? He immediately chased it with a gun, beating him while chasing him!
The snake didn't expect Zhu Yu to be able to hit it from a distance, which caused it to lose its advantage and eventually fell on the crawling road.
Zhu Yu was about to go over and pick up the snake carcass, but immediately stopped.
The snake corpse is located between the central sarcophagus and the standing coffin at the back, close to the standing coffin.
Zhu Yu's eyes were always open, and he immediately saw that if the snake crawled forward half a meter, it would hit a stone slab.
The stone slab is empty, and there is a mechanism underneath. As long as you step on the stone slab, the vertical coffin on the north side will open immediately, and the mummy inside will come out.
And this mummy is coated with a certain chemical substance, similar to phosphorus powder, which will burn when exposed to air!
Could this snake have been there since the tomb was built? Otherwise, how would you know there was an opportunity here?
Or a coincidence?
Zhu Yu avoided the trap and picked up the snake corpse.
My hands felt cold and heavy.
Under the illumination of the Heavenly Eye, the metal content in the flesh and blood of this snake corpse was outrageously high!
"This snake skin should be able to make a good belt." Zhu Yu said to himself.
After saying that, he put away the snake corpse.
The interior of the tomb is relatively simple, mainly consisting of the central sarcophagus and funerary objects.
Zhu Yu did not move the four vertical sarcophagi at the four corners. Because through careful observation with the celestial eye, we found that there were mummies in the sarcophagus, but there were also ambushes.
Not simple!
After putting away the funerary objects in the tomb one by one, Zhu Yu looked at the sarcophagus in the center.
The sarcophagus is very heavy, and the golden statue on it should be the owner of the tomb.
Inside the sarcophagus is an ancient Egyptian-style coffin made of pure gold. Inside is a mummy, and there are jars next to it, which should be the owner's internal organs and brain.
Although Zhu Yu was not interested in mummies, after thinking about it, he simply put the sarcophagus into the space.
Anyway, the space is much larger now. If you put this thing away, it might come in handy sometime.
Looking carefully, Zhu Yu found that there were no other passages, secret rooms or secret doors. Zhu Yu felt a little disappointed.
The tallest and most majestic building in the city, and this is the only thing inside?
There are not as many things as there are in the escort room!
Since there was nothing left, Zhu Yu exited the stone room, collected the two warrior statues next to him, and then left.
When they walked out of the pyramid, they found Ran Jie and others looking at him with concern.
"Boss, are you okay?"
"It's okay, it's a small harvest." Zhu Yu walked out with the snake, "The biggest snake is still inside, and it is almost invulnerable. Fortunately, I still have a gun."
"This snake is really big!" Cao Dalong took the snake and looked at it carefully, "The skin is really hard - this thing is like a metal carving - Huh? It can also change color?"
Ran Jie and the other three were amazed when they looked at the snake.
"Boss, what's next?" Qin Fei asked after a while.
"I plan to explore again. There is nothing very good under this pyramid. I plan to go there and have a look."
Zhu Yu pointed to the square room on the other side of the pyramid that he had not yet explored.
But at this time, the room was basically just a roof.
Another sandstorm almost buried it.
"Inside here..."
"Down here is a room for guarding the pyramid, or a burial room. It's just like the burial pits in ancient imperial tombs in China."
Zhu Yu was using the trick of deception.
Of course he doesn't know, but he just knows that there are good things in it.
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's dig!" Cao Dalong picked up the short shovel and started digging.
The four people worked together and soon dug a big hole at the door of the stone house.
The door of this square stone house was closed. Zhu Yu and the others had completely cleaned up the sand at the door. It was already noon.
"Boss, let's go in after dinner." Qin Fei suggested.
"Okay." Zhu Yu was also covered in sweat, so he simply left here, found a cool place under the wall, and started eating the hot food sent by the team members.
"Rice, braised beef with potatoes, fried pork with cauliflower, seaweed and egg drop soup..."
Ran Jie took the dinner plate and scooped out a large portion of rice, then poured a thick layer of potato-roasted beef juice over it. After mixing it, he added a spoonful of cauliflower-fried pork on top.
After finishing it, he found a place to sit down and said while eating:
“This meal reminds me of the lunch we had at the tactical training ground when we were training tactics.
At that time, the training was over, and I was covered in mud. I had no time and no chance to wash it off. I was too tired and didn’t have the conditions. The happiest thing at that time was eating.
At that time, the cooking class delivered rice like this. I liked to mix the rice and vegetables together like this. It was quick and delicious. After eating, I could still relax on the grass for half an hour - it felt so comfortable at that time..."
"I'm about the same! But we didn't eat in the wild at that time. There was a canteen in the tactical training ground, and eating was formal - but I don't think it's as interesting as you." Cao Dalong continued.
Qin Fei said nothing.
Zhu Yu didn't say anything. He followed Ran Jie's example and poured the vegetable soup directly on the rice, sat down on the stone slab and started eating.
Needless to say, it really has a flavor.
After eating, the team members took away the plates, and Zhu Yu and the others rested here.
The wind was blowing, and it was quite cool under the shadows.
From time to time, team members patrolling past with flamethrowers.
Although the threat is now lifted, Tian Zhijie is still very cautious. He does not want to experience being raided again.
Zhu Yu and the others rested here until the afternoon. It was no longer so hot outside, so Zhu Yu got up and came to the hole dug earlier.
At this time, a lot of sand entered the bottom of the pit.
Zhu Yu looked at the stone door of the stone house and found that it was closed from the inside.
Fortunately, this was not a problem for him. With the help of the Sky Eye, he quickly used a thin knife to open the mechanism inside and pushed open the stone door with force.
"You clear the sand outside. Don't wait until I come out. The sand will bury me." When Zhu Yu walked into the stone house, he said to Ran Jie and the others, "By the way, I might go in a little longer this time." Son, don’t worry.”
Seeing Zhu Yu enter, Cao Dalong muttered:
"If you don't take us with you... I even doubt that we are not bodyguards anymore..."
"It's for our own good not to take us with us. Of course, it's up to the boss to make the decision on his own affairs, so don't think too much about it." Ran Jie said:
"Okay, let's clear the sand. Dalong, you go find two cars and come over. Let's transport the cleared sand away. Otherwise, a lot of sand will fall into the pit later."
Zhu Yu walked into the stone room.
He didn't have a lantern, but he could see clearly that there was also a black stone statue more than two meters high in the center of the stone room.
This statue has the head of a gazelle, the body of a woman, and the long horns on its head are very vivid.
Zhu Yu looked at it and then put it into the space together with the table.
Then, like the room he explored earlier, the steps leading down were revealed.
Zhu Yu walked down cautiously.
What surprised Zhu Yu was that the steps here didn't have as many bells and whistles as before, and they went straight to the bottom.
On the passages on both sides, there are many images embossed on the stone slabs.
But there is an image of Anubis in every relief.
Zhu Yu felt strange when he saw it, but he immediately ignored it.
After reaching the end, what you see below are two closed stone doors.
In view of the ambush he saw earlier, Zhu Yu's eyes were always open.
Then he saw a huge room behind the stone door.
Zhu Yu could feel that the direction of this room was exactly opposite to the direction of the pyramid, just below a room somewhere in the city.
But it's at least thirty or forty meters away from the ground, so it doesn't matter.
The stone door was very heavy, and it took Zhu Yu a lot of effort to open it.
Before opening it, he had already put on a gas-proof suit - a fully enclosed one with an oxygen bottle attached.
Because in the eyes of the sky, this huge room is full of poisonous gas - as long as you open it and take a whiff, people will die immediately!
After opening the door, Zhu Yu could clearly feel that his body seemed to have been "pushed" by someone.
Then in the eyes of the sky, the gas rushed upward!
Zhu Yu was in a hurry, Ran Jie and the others were still up there!
He immediately turned around and ran out, but after running a few steps, he stopped.
Because he could see that the poisonous gas, which was obviously a little yellowish, did not rise very far. It basically stopped five meters away from the underground hall and stopped running upward.
Zhu Yu immediately understood that the gas should be much heavier than air. Otherwise, it would have gone up long ago.
It is precisely because of this that we can stay here all the time, so that anyone who comes in will be inhaled by the poisonous gas. In ancient times, I am afraid no one thought that people could have equipment that did not require breathing outside air, right?
Seeing that the poisonous gas was no longer surging, Zhu Yu walked into the hall.
The hall is as big as a football field.
It is also five or six meters high - every other section is supported by huge stone pillars, which play a load-bearing role.
There is a road in the middle of the hall, with golden statues on both sides.
These statues are basically images of animal heads and human bodies, such as eagle heads, horse heads, bulls, cats, snakes, etc.
Zhu Yu roughly counted, there were fifty statues in total!
And what surprised Zhu Yu was that these statues were all made of pure gold!
Be good!
Each of these statues weighs at least several tons!
The treasure previously obtained in the secret room over there had already surprised Zhu Yu.
If those things were sold in a steady stream, I'm afraid they would be worth tens of billions of dollars.
Even selling gold would cost billions.
Now it’s a bit more exaggerated here!
Did these fleeing ancient Egyptian tribes robbed all the ancient Egyptian wealth?
Or did you discover a huge gold mine after arriving here?
This is no longer something Zhu Yu can guess.
After all, it was too long ago.
God cannot take it, but he will be blamed for it!
Zhu Yu unceremoniously stretched out his hand and took each of these statues into the space.
What a luxury!
Who would have thought that so much wealth could be hidden in the ruins of a small, dilapidated ancient city?
Zhu Yu reached the end of the room and saw a stone platform here.
The stone platform is about four meters long on a side and has three floors in total, with each floor one and a half meters high.
On the topmost stone platform stands a huge square stone with a golden plate on it.
On the gold plate, there is a crystal ball the size of a basketball.
What surprised Zhu Yu was that there was actually a bag of water in the crystal ball - or rather, a colorless liquid.
In the eyes of the sky, this liquid emits all kinds of light, but if you look closely, it is colorless.
It contains peaceful energy, and I don’t know how much I feel.
Zhu Yu couldn't help but jump up on the stone platform and hold the crystal ball in his hands.
It's not too heavy, it doesn't feel cold when you hold it, and it even feels a little warm.
Zhu Yu knew that this should be the most important treasure in this space.
He put away the crystal ball and the gold plate, looked around again, and found that there was nothing worth taking away, so he jumped off the stone platform and walked back.
After walking to the outermost stone house, Zhu Yu slowly took off his protective clothing and put it away.
He could hear Ran Jie and the others cleaning the sand outside.
Just be fine!
Zhu Yu walked out.
Ran Jie and the others had already cleared a larger space at the door of the stone house and built steps upwards.
Ran Jie and the others were also very happy to see Zhu Yu come out.
"Boss, how's it going? Is it dangerous inside?"
"It's quite dangerous." Zhu Yu said, "There is poisonous gas in here. If you want to go down to clean it up, you should wear a fully enclosed gas mask.
But there's nothing good inside, so it's best to seal the door so no one can get in. "
"Then close the door and mark it." Ran Jie stopped what he was doing, "I'm going to talk to Tian Zhijie, lest someone cleans up here and runs in without knowing it, which will cause trouble."
Back at the camp, Zhu Yu looked at the boxes of harvests that were delivered to him. Although he was not very excited because he had harvested too much.
But the different shapes and unique shapes still made him look at them curiously for a while.
In the next few days, Zhu Yu never did anything on his own.
Even if he was not present, the secret rooms in those rooms were all found out by these team members who were good at soil work.
By the time the cleanup work came to an end, it was already half a month later.
The harvest that the team members cleaned up was packed into thirty-seven large boxes!
If I hadn't emptied so much equipment when fighting against poisonous snakes and poisonous insects, I might not even have enough boxes to put things in now!
The team members will be curious and excited at first, but by the end they are basically numb.
After all, I have seen too much, and even beautiful women may not have much interest anymore.
"It's finally time to go back. If we don't go back, we will all become Africans." Cao Dalong complained while eating.
At this moment, the sentry suddenly ran over and reported:
"Boss, in the distance, in the direction we came from, three off-road vehicles are driving over!"
somebody is coming?
Who could it be?
