Chapter 5: The Golden Pyramid Circulation

  "Kai zi, Qiao Mu's awake!" Fang Kai sat in the desert, Ruò zǐ buried his head on his shoulder, and the two closed their eyes, quietly enjoying this quiet and warm moment. Unexpectedly, a loud shout from Bao Dong shocked them both awake.

  That's great! Fang Kai and Ruo Zi rushed to the side of Pang Dong, then saw Qiao Mu Si with a dazed expression on his face. "Qiao, are you okay?" Fang Kai opened his hands and waved them in front of Qiao Mu Si's eyes, but he seemed to ignore him, not saying a word.

  Since the incident with the Sphinx, Jormungandr has been like this.

  Ruòzi worried about him, took out some water from the spare box and handed it to Qiaomu's eyes: "Drink a little, you might have heatstroke. What happened earlier was probably an illusion, don't mind." Ruòzi spoke very softly and gently, afraid that increasing the volume would stimulate Qiaomu. But the latter seemed to be enchanted, lying motionless on the desert, not speaking, with a pair of blue eyes staring blankly at the scorching sun in the sky.

  Fang Kai could no longer hold back, rushed up and grabbed the collar of Qiao Mu's chest, loudly scolding: "What did it say to you? Have you forgotten our mission?! Wake up! If this continues, the remains of the Crystal Warriors will be taken away by the Ticlai people!! Speak up!!" His face red with rage, he raised his hand to slap Qiao Mu, but was held back by Pang Dong.

  Perhaps it was Fang Ke's stern voice that worked, as Qiao Mu Si surprisingly sat up. But what the three people did not expect was that he actually covered his head with both hands and started wailing loudly! "Huuu..." Qiao Mu Si cried and shook his head non-stop, looking like a madman who had lost his mind.

  Fang Kai and Pang Dong were stunned. At this time, Ruo Zi took out a syringe from the omnipotent 'medicine' capital and injected it into Qiao Mu's neck.

  The originally restless Jorms gradually slowed down and finally lay softly on the ground again.

  Ruò zǐ yáo yáo tóu, zhuǎn shēn duì fāng kǎi liǎng rén róu dào: "wǒ gěi qiáo zhù 'shè' le zhèn jìng jì, shí guān jǐn pò, wǒmen kuài jìn rù jīn zì tǎ ba." Fāng kǎi diǎn diǎn tóu, nǔ zuǐ shì yì xiàng páng dōng bèi qǐ qiáo mǔ sī, sì rén jí máng cháo dà jīn zì tǎ chū fā.

  The tomb of Khufu, we have arrived!

  As they walked, Yu Zi told Fang Kai that the magnetic wave instrument had slightly trembled in the light membrane earlier. From this, Fang Kai inferred that the Sphinx's lion-bodied and human-faced image speaking scene was not an illusion, but a real existence. They did not come to the world of Greek mythology, the truth is that the earth's technology has reached a very high level!

  In his conjecture, the entire Sphinx statue was covered with a layer of electromagnetic interference 'waves' that could disturb people's thinking and make them produce certain illusions. But this is not an illusion, because the voice of the god statue speaking is emitted through the resonance of particles inside the stone blocks. The local authorities, in order to intimidate tomb raiders, compiled the resonant 'wave' into a riddle in mythology, thus realizing the Sphinx's presence in the world. As for the light film and black-and-white two-color light, it goes without saying that they are the protective measures of the local authorities.

  But why did it let go of Jorms and the three of them, and even made a contract with Jorms? This was something he really couldn't understand. Unless... unless they weren't "human", not within the scope of God's strike... But this was too far-fetched, although they lived on Mars, the blood flowing through their veins was that of Earthlings.

  They were purely "human".

  "Could it be that someone modified the resonant wave programming of the Sphinx just as the black and white light appeared?! But who was that person, and why did they do such a thing? Most importantly, none of us four noticed his presence..." Fang Kai couldn't figure it out, so he shook his head and threw off the annoyance. In fact, he didn't need to think about it so much, everything earlier was just his own speculation. But for some reason, Fang Kai still had an inexplicable sense of unease in his heart.

  As Fang Ke drew back his thoughts, he found that they had arrived at the entrance of the Pyramid of Khufu. What surprised them was that it was also unguarded here. Was the Sphinx with a lion's body and human face the only defensive measure?

  How is this possible...

  With a sense of trepidation, they slowly walked into this massive tomb, which is 130 meters high and weighs about 680 tons. Legend has it that Pharaoh Khufu built the largest pyramid so that his soul could dwell in a huge cemetery after death.

  What startled Fang Kai was that this golden pyramid was mysterious and unpredictable.

  Due to the closed tower, the light inside is very scarce, so it's quite dark. Fang Kai let Pang Dong and Ruo Zi turn on the illuminating lights on their helmets, while he himself turned on the air-powered flashlight and walked in front of them.

  Careful observation reveals the carvings on the wall. There are texts and images, all recording information about hunting, farming, and the ascension of souls. Especially in the hunting scene, Pharaoh sits in a lavishly decorated chariot, shooting birds with a bow and arrow. Underneath the chariot are several slaves with their heads bowed and backs bent, the entire picture exuding a strong sense of hierarchy.

  As for those murals about reincarnation after death, Fang Kai became more and more horrified: this emperor was truly a fantasy fanatic, actually planning to build the Great Pyramid from the beginning of his reign, trying to ascend to heaven.

  "Psst, Ruo Zi, Pang Dong, come quick and see!" He turned his head around, but found that there was no one behind him. The silence was deafening, Fang Kai swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and slowly moved the flashlight to where Ruo Zi and Pang Dong had been standing just now.

  His heart was pounding, Fang Kai felt it was about to jump out of his chest! His hand holding the flashlight trembled, the light flickered back and forth, vaguely illuminating a person's face.

  Look closely, it was actually Ruo Zi's face! Fang Kai felt a sense of relief and said to Ruo Zi in an annoyed tone: "What are you doing? You scared me to death." He patted his chest and then stretched out his hands, wanting to hug Ruo Zi. But just as Fang Kai was about to touch her, he suddenly remembered that if Ruo Zi was here, where did Pang Dong go?

  As he thought of this, Fang Kai's forehead suddenly broke out in cold sweat. Just as he was distracted for a moment, "Ruo Zi"'s face contorted! Fang Kai was greatly startled and frightened, causing the flashlight to fall to the ground. It was unclear whether it was coincidence or not, but the light emitted by the flashlight was reflected several times off the smooth wall before shining directly onto "Ruo Zi".

  Fang Kai's mouth was wide open, and his face revealed a look of horror. Suddenly, the face of "Ruo Zi" split open inch by inch, and then, a pair of spectacled cobras spitting red letters appeared before his eyes.

  "*!" Fang Kai cursed, finally realizing that the face earlier was not Ruo Zi's, but a combination of the heads and tails of these poisonous snakes! But how could they be so spiritual and mimic human faces?

  Most importantly, where did Zuo and Pang Dong go?

  But now is clearly not the time for thinking, if he doesn't escape soon, his life will be left here. He didn't want to sleep with Pharaoh, so he pulled up his legs and ran.

  Because he escaped too hastily, Fang Kai dropped his flashlight on the ground.

  He could only rely on the dim light and his sixth sense to choose a direction to escape. For some reason, he didn't trigger any mechanism. God was still fair, let out a "heh" with a smile, but thinking of the large group of snakes spitting red tongues and exposing their poisonous fangs behind him, his heart couldn't help but feel hairy.

  "Hiss...". Damn, Fang Kai really suspected that these glasses snakes had been in the tomb for too long and had gone crazy. They chased after him without letting up, not even overtaking him. Were they treating themselves as monkeys?! Several times Fang Kai accelerated, they followed suit; when he slowed down slightly, they also slowed down their speed. It was really making Fang Kai want to cry without tears.

  Finally, he slowly walked away. As expected, the snakes with glasses also slowed down their speed, and the distance between the snake and the person remained at about five meters.

  Although they didn't mean to hurt Fang Kai, would you feel comfortable being chased by a group of venomous snakes in a tomb passage? Fang Kai now only hopes to find Ruo Zi and Pang Dong as soon as possible, and then search for the Crystal Warrior's remains together.

  As he walked, Fang Kai suddenly saw a slightly brighter 'cave' entrance. He was overjoyed and hastily crawled inside. The 'cave' entrance turned out to be a tunnel, and as he walked through it, he felt the light getting brighter and brighter. But just then, the snake group underwent a drastic change! They let out sharp hisses, no longer maintaining their five-meter distance. From the rustling sounds, Fang Kai could tell that they were accelerating towards him. Fang Kai was startled, then ran with all his might towards the tunnel exit.

  "Hah, hah, hah..." He panted heavily, glancing back to see the snakes blocking the exit of the tunnel, but not daring to come out. Fang Kai let out a sigh of relief and cast a disdainful look at the venomous snakes before turning his head around.

  However, as soon as he lifted his head, he was dumbfounded.

  Only three magnificent golden pyramids stood before our eyes, they were the Pyramids of Khufu, Khafre and Menkaure!

  How is this possible?! I just walked out of the Pyramid of Khufu, how did I end up at their entrance again? Fang Kai swallowed hard and laboriously turned his head to look back, the familiar Sphinx lion-bodied human-faced statue standing upright in his field of vision.

  The Yongdao glasses snake has disappeared! Good heavens, what's going on?!

  Was everything just an illusion? But if Yuzi and Pang Dong really disappeared, how could this be explained? Fang Kai stared blankly at the largest golden pyramid, after a long time, he made a decision.

  Back into the Great Pyramid of Giza!
