Chapter 1280 The Guardian of the Underworld
On the north side of the pyramid, an irregular hole suddenly appeared at the bottom of the cracked exterior wall. The hole was pitch black and a bumpy passage extended to the inside of the pyramid.
The smoke and dust have not yet settled, and everyone present is wearing sweat-soaked masks and protective glasses, and their bodies are filled with relief and satisfaction.
Li Pitt happily gave everyone a thumbs up and praised everyone's hard work.
All the efforts I have been doing have finally paid off.
This is a virgin land that has not been set foot in two thousand years. It must be filled with a large amount of pure cosmic energy. If this energy can be absorbed, it will surely lead life to a higher level.
The Mediterranean hairstyle scholar was covered in gray, almost the same as the construction worker who had just finished work. He trotted and approached the hole, carefully observed the smoke and dust, and couldn't help but exclaim.
"What's wrong? What's wrong?" Li Pitt asked.
The scholar used the method of smelling chemical reagents and sniffing the air in the hole a few times with his palms on his nose, frowned and said, "This... It is said that this pyramid has been closed for more than two thousand years, and the air inside should be turbid, but I didn't smell too obvious..."
"oh?"
Li Pitt was also stunned.
The members of the society worked hard for a day and night, and finally broke the wall successfully. He was planning to order everyone to rest for a while and wait until the turbid air in the pyramid was almost dissipated before entering. Otherwise, there might be a risk of hypoxia and coma. For this reason, he also specially brought a micro blower and a small oxygen cylinder.
The scholar pointed to the drifting smoke and dust, "And you see, the smoke and dust have a faint tendency to spread outward, which seems to indicate... Well, how do you say that the air in the pyramid is flowing?"
The people present are outstanding experts in different fields. Everyone knows that this simple common sense is that if the pyramid has only such an external opening, it will not produce air convection and will not blow smoke and dust outward.
In addition, the air in the tower was not as turbid as expected... the situation was different from what they expected.
"Is it because the seal of the pyramid is not tight?" Someone has made reasonable speculation, "After all, this is the last pyramid in the last dynasty of ancient Egypt. It may have been completed in a hurry. There are problems with the construction quality of some locations, or cracks appeared in earthquakes in previous years..."
"Maybe it was the Germans who did something?" Someone made other speculations.
After they arrived here last night, they drove around the pyramid and saw several military vehicles buried in yellow sand on the south side. However, out of caution and rush, they did not stop and check carefully. It was night and the light was not good. They saw that the exterior wall on the south side was intact and drove back to the north side, and seized the time to prepare explosives and blasting.
Could it be that the Germans who failed to die did something before they died and they did not find it in a hurry?
Neither possibility can be ruled out.
Li Pitt thought for a while and looked at everyone and said, "We have worked hard all the time. Now the Long March is only one last step away. I will grit my teeth and work harder. Instead of guessing here, it is better to follow me into the tower to see what happened."
Curiosity about the situation in the tower overwhelmed everyone's fatigue. They threw down the dismantling tools in their hands and were ready to enter.
It is certainly impossible for everyone to go in. Someone must stay outside to guard the vehicles and the remaining unused explosives. Although the foot of the pyramid on the north side where they are located is still in the shadow, they will face direct sunlight in a short time. The remaining explosives that have been prepared but have not been used must be disposed of as soon as possible.
This was originally meant to be completed while the tower was ventilated, but now the plan has been changed.
The so-called treatment is of course not to take it back, it is too dangerous. It is difficult to let your life enter a higher level, and it is not the time to fly in a wisp of blue smoke and ascend in the sun...
Everyone wanted to enter the tower to absorb cosmic energy, but there must be first and then. Li Pitt finally arranged for the consul and the colonel to stay outside, deal with the explosives, and then the others replaced them.
The consul and the colonel nodded with regret.
The remaining five people each carried flashlights, headlights, small oxygen cylinders, gas masks and other items that might be used, and lined up to enter the hole in sequence.
Li Pitt walked first, and the flashlight illuminated a snow-white path in the smoke and dust that had not yet dissipated, and countless smoke and dust rolled in the flashlight.
Walking in, a little coolness eliminated the heat. After careful feeling, there was indeed a breeze rushing, proving that there might be small holes or gaps on the other side of the pyramid.
The floor of the passage has only been sloppy and smashed away the sharp corners that are too affecting walking. As for some small bumps, it is inevitable. Anyway, it will only be in and out two or three times, so there is no need to do it too well.
Suddenly, the flashlight seemed to shine something, shining brightly, reflecting a metallic luster, but it was impossible to see clearly through the smoke and dust.
Li Pitt held the flashlight in one hand, took out a dagger in the palm of his other hand, made a gesture to improve his defense, and moved forward carefully.
After walking a few more steps, passing through the exploded passage, a strange black stone statue appeared a few meters away.
Li Pitt breathed a sigh of relief and frowned secretly, because the shape of this stone statue was really terrifying. It was a combination of human body and snake heads. There was more than one snake head, and it was a three-headed cobra.
The three snake heads side by side were carved to lifelike, with their eyes grinning and their heads raised, as if they wanted to choose someone to eat.
The body of the stone statue is slightly taller than that of ordinary people, showing obvious feminine characteristics and clothing, with a raised chest, wearing a long robe on the shoulders, arms and shoulders and other visible parts are carved with snake scales.
Obviously, this is left behind when building the pyramids, a deterrent to tomb robbers.
The people behind also walked through the passage one after another, and five flashlights were concentrated on the stone statue.
No one spoke, and everyone was afraid of the hideous and terrifying stone statue.
The scholar walked forward, approached the stone statue and observed it carefully for a moment, and turned around and said, "Don't worry, this is the patron saint of the underworld in ancient Egyptian mythology. Her appearance is engraved on the Nefirab stone tablet in the Turin Museum, and it is also a three-headed snake. But this should be the first time she has been discovered in the form of a stone statue... Tsk tsk, a priceless treasure..."
His explanation did not play much comforting role, anyway, it further confirmed that the ancient Egyptians placed the stone statue of the patron saint of the underworld here, which was indeed a shock to the tomb robbers, as if saying: It is still too late to withdraw now.
Li Pitt made a gesture, "Be careful, don't touch this stone statue, don't get too close to it, walk around it..."
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly saw something moving in the smoke and dust behind the stone statue.
Chapter completed!
