The Arab fell to the ground with a snort, and I immediately rushed to the fallen Caucasian man, lifted him up, and said, "Quickly tell me who sent you here, Lomono." Who is it? The guy's mouth was wide open, trembling, and there seemed to be some sound coming out of his throat, but the sound was meaningless. Then, his eyes protruded, and he died of poisoning. The ring in the Arab's hand was so strangely red that I knew it was a highly poisonous murder weapon at a glance! As soon as I let go, the white man fell into the desert. The Arab sneered and said: He can't answer your question, sir!

I was furious, turned to him, and said: Yes, he can't answer, but you can. The Arab laughed strangely and said: I can't either! I didn't have time to jump forward, he had already scratched the ring in his hand on his own wrist lightly, a bloodstain appeared on his wrist, his eyeballs protruding more and more when he looked at me: In less than thirty seconds at most, his face was contorted, and he was already dead! Two people died, and it took less than three minutes. Wang Jun was on the side, dumbfounded. He just stood there blankly and kept asking: Who are they?Who are they?

The answer I gave him was very simple, I said: spy! I leaned over and searched the two people. They didn't have any documents on them. They died in the desert, and no one could know their true identities. They died of poisoning. There are too many poisonous scorpions in the desert. Who would suspect anything else? I stood for a while, then waved my hand and said: Let's go! Wang Jun and I boarded the helicopter together, and I hoped to find the origins of those people on the helicopter, but the whole helicopter is just a helicopter, without any other subsidiary things.Such a helicopter can be attached to anyone and any group.

I checked, there was enough fuel in the helicopter, I told Wang Jun to fasten his seat belt, I started the engine, a strong whirlwind passed by, and the helicopter began to rise. The whirlwind rolled up the yellow sand and covered the bodies of those two people, leaving no trace at all. The helicopter flew towards the construction site, and an hour later, we saw a huge convoy transporting engineering materials.In the desert, there are also temporary buildings to provide rest for the team members. I stopped the helicopter near the temporary building and rushed into a shabby bar. Wang Jun and I greedily drank cold beer, thinking that there was nothing more delicious in the world than this.

Within fifteen minutes, my physical strength had fully recovered. Wang Jun found the transportation captain and borrowed a small jeep from him. The transportation captain knew Wang Jun, so he agreed. I carried clear water and got on the jeep with Wang Jun. At dusk, we had already driven out of the desert, and began to see the grass, the grass that usually attracts the most attention, at this moment, it seems so kind! The car went further, and I could already see the fertile land. As the sky was getting darker, I saw the big temple. We are still quite far away from the big temple, and it is in the twilight, but the big temple still looks so majestic, the huge stone pillars are lined up one by one, like countless giants lined up.

The temple is not very far from the construction site, we can hear the sound of various machines working on the construction site, and a series of lights on the construction site.According to the plan of the whole project, when the project is completed, the area around here will become a huge artificial lake. And through a series of sluice gates and irrigation canals, the vast desert that almost killed us just now can be gradually transformed into good arable land. The whole project is wonderful, but it is a pity that this ancient temple with a history of thousands of years will be buried at the bottom of the water at a depth of 40 meters when the project is completed!

Wang Jun drove the car straight to the front of the temple and stopped. The people in the temple have already left. During the day, the Egyptian government has guides to guide tourists to visit this ancient temple that will soon become a historical relic.But at this time, it was already night, and there was a deadly silence in the temple. I jumped out of the car, ran up the stone steps, and arrived in front of more than fifty stone pillars with the thickness of a person's arms. There are five temple gates, one of which is the main entrance, and the other four are side gates. At this time, all the things that could be moved in the temple have been removed, because everything in this ancient temple is all ancient relics, and the most crude sacrifice, placed in the antique market, has unexpected value .At this time, even the door has been transported away.Those five doors, like the mouths of five monsters, are dark and full of mystery and terror.

Wang Jun followed me up the stone steps, holding the powerful flashlight given to him by the transportation captain: let’s go together. I put the flashlight in his hand and took it over: I will go alone, and you just need to tell me the location of the seven secret sacrificial rooms of the Sopa tribe. Wang Jun shook his head and said: Why?I've been through such a hard time with you in the desert, why don't you want me now?I smiled: you go back to the construction site quickly, if you haven’t seen me come to you before dawn, then you should immediately notify the security agency to find my whereabouts, this is a very interesting thing, but now There are international secret service organizations mixed in, I don't want you to wade into muddy waters.Wang Jun wanted to say something, but I patted him on the shoulder: go, look, this ancient temple is like a five-headed monster, with its mouth wide open, choosing to eat someone, if I and You go in together, I have to take care of you, it's even more troublesome!

My words obviously hurt Wang Jun's self-esteem, so he turned around and left without saying a word.I hurriedly said: Hey, how to get to the seven secret rooms, you haven't told me yet! Wang Jun stopped: you go in, go through the main hall, go to the corridor on the left, you look at the wall, you see red stones on the wall, you turn around, it will take you to a In the courtyard, there are two wells, one with a derrick and the other without. You can climb down to the mouth of the well without a derrick, and when you reach the bottom of the well, you can go through a long corridor. Wang Jun spoke in great detail, and I turned around and walked forward.

But Wang Jun stopped me again: in that corridor, there are all kinds of spells. Yige said, walking in this corridor, you must never look back, let alone look around, otherwise, there will be disasters! I agreed with a smile, and watched Wang Junchi drive his jeep towards the construction site before turning around again. I'm the only one left! I couldn't help but feel a chill in my heart. The strange thing is that I didn't think about anything at this time, but I was just thinking: What terrible consequences will the spell in that corridor cause to those who pass through the corridor?

This seems to be a very ridiculous thing, a modern person would be afraid of ancient spells!But in today's situation, one can't help but feel the powerful pressure that ancient spells put on people's spirits. I stepped into the ancient temple, and after only a few steps, the sound on the construction site was no longer heard. The surroundings are so quiet, so quiet that people feel that they do not exist in this world! The architects of ancient Egypt are the most outstanding architects in the world. Naturally, this temple has been carefully designed. It can not only isolate the sound of the outside world, but also absorb the sound generated in the temple, so that the temple can maintain extreme silence. I turned on the flashlight and illuminated it in all directions. Everywhere was empty, except for the stone pillars, there was nothing, and even the stone slabs on the ground had been pried away.I walked forward, and the strange thing was that I deliberately stepped on my feet, but I couldn't hear my own footsteps.The sound is lost in the fantastic architecture! I walked about ten steps, and suddenly thought: If someone is following me, how can I detect it? I quickly turned around, and the strong light flashed for a week, but I didn't find anything. I turned off the flashlight. This ancient temple is full of mysterious atmosphere, and I know that since it is possible for Lomono to A helicopter was sent to track us down, so of course he didn't cause any particular trouble after landing. He will definitely come here, maybe he has already been here, maybe he hasn't come here yet, it is more likely that he is also in the ancient temple at this time! After I turned off the flashlight, I stood in the dark for a long time, and there was no sign of anyone. I continued to turn on the flashlight and walked forward, my heart beating violently involuntarily. I walked out of the hall, and sure enough, I saw three forked roads in front of me. I followed Wang Jun's words and walked to the leftmost one. I took two steps forward, and suddenly heard the sound of metal crashing in the corridor in the middle. As I have already said, the special architecture of this great temple caused a very strange disappearance of the sounds emanating from the temple.And at this time, the sound of metal impacting I heard was also very muffled. But I could actually hear the sound of the impact, so I know that in fact, it must be a very loud sound.That made me stop immediately against the stone wall. But after that sound, the surroundings returned to a dead silence, and there was no sound at all. I waited five minutes, wondering if I should go over and see what was going on.But after those five minutes, I decided not to go, because it might be the noise made by the antiquities thief, and I don't have to go out of my way. I put the flashlight in my pocket and shot it forward, the light became much dimmer, so as not to expose my target too much.After walking seven or eight yards forward, another fork appeared, but at the mouth of one of the forks, one of the neat gray stones was ocher red. I moved the flashlight upwards, and saw two strange words engraved on the ocher-red boulder.I don't know what characters it is, and, because of the age, those two characters have been eroded and blurred. I turned the corner and kept walking. At that time, I was like walking in the realm of death.A person can only die once in a lifetime, and a dead person cannot come back to tell the living about the state of death, so no one in the world knows what the state of death is like. But at this time, I thought of the taste of death.Dark and quiet, the whole world seems to have left you, and you seem to be in a boundless open space, although you can touch the stone wall.I continued to walk forward, and when I encountered several paths ahead, I turned on the flashlight.Among the several ways to go, there is always one that is embedded with a red ocher stone, and on the stone, there are also those two strange characters as usual.Once inside, probably due to the lack of people there, the writing on the red stone seems to be quite complete. Those are like two hieroglyphs. I believe that except for experts, ordinary people will never understand the meaning of this ancient hieroglyph. The entire temple is almost built with large square stones. Of course, it is impossible for these red stones to be added later. That is to say, the red stone that guides the way appeared at the same time as this great temple. My further deduction is: the whole great temple may exist because it is to protect the seven secret sacrificial rooms! So, what is the origin of the Sopa nationality?Why did the Egyptians build such a magnificent ancient temple here, just to protect the seven secret sacrificial rooms? I forced myself to think, that way, in this death-like situation, I wouldn't feel unbearable pressure. The winding passage seems to never end. Finally, my eyes lit up, and I saw the light, and I was in a square courtyard.The three sides of the courtyard are all high walls made of stone blocks, and there is not even a small window on the wall.Only the side I came from had a door through it. That door was an iron door, half open, and it hadn't been dismantled. Maybe no one could have walked here, so this iron door was preserved. The reason why I say this is because I saw that there is a pattern on the iron door, which is undoubtedly a very valuable antique. I stepped out of the iron gate and looked back again. Under the moonlight, I could see very clearly that the relief painting on the iron door was the same as that of the brass box: a glowing stone surrounded by several sets of human skeletons and animal skeletons. This door let me know that I was not in the wrong place. The courtyard was not very big, and there were two wells side by side. One of the wells had a derrick standing on it, but the derrick was crumbling, while the other didn't. I walked to the well without a derrick, turned on the flashlight, and took a look down. I could see nothing but that in the side of the well there was a notch in the stone along which I could climb down to the bottom.And that well seemed to be extremely deep, because the light from the flashlight in my hand was quite strong, but I couldn't see the bottom of the well. I stayed by the well for a minute, thinking of the dark deep well, and after reaching the bottom of the well, I had to go through a long corridor full of weird spells, and I couldn't help feeling horrified. I took a deep breath, tried my best to get rid of the weird thoughts, and stepped down the well.As soon as I stepped over the well fence and was in the well, it sounded in my ears.There was a buzzing sound, as if putting one's ears into a large-mouthed bottle. Of course, it was because the well was so deep and airtight that it was almost like a bottle. I carefully descended the stone steps, and immediately discovered that the gaps in the stones above the well were specially designed for people to go down and step on them. Of course, it would not be difficult for me to reach the bottom of the well. I counted the distance of each step and the number of steps I went down, and when I had gone down about ten yards, I stopped, ready to turn on the flashlight, and look down. However, at this moment, I heard again, above the well, there was a sound of metal clashing. As soon as I entered the well, my ears buzzed, and the further I went to the bottom of the well, the louder the sound was, just like being in a small room, and four or five crappy air conditioners were running in the small room, so those few times The voice didn't sound very real either.But I can be sure that such a sound must be made by people, not naturally! I stopped turning on the flashlight, and just stood close to the wall of the well without moving. I looked up and saw only darkness, but I couldn't see anyone. I waited until the sound came to my ears again to judge what it was. In less than a minute, that sound came again. In addition to the sound of metal impact, there was also a sharp and ear-piercing scream that made people stand on end. That scream went from sound to sound. The end may only take half a second. However, this scream made me feel extremely uncomfortable for three to five minutes. It was the cry of a human being, but it was absolutely hard to imagine that a human being could make such a terrifying sound.I thought this way to cover up my horror at that time, because when I heard that voice, I had an intuitive reaction: that is the scream of a ghost! I listened carefully, but there was no special sound coming from above.I paused blankly for a while, not sure whether I should go up to see what happened, or continue down. The result of my consideration is to continue down. With the flashlight on, the bottom of the well can already be seen. The bottom of the well is very clean. There is a door leading to a tunnel, and that door is also ajar.I quickly reached the bottom of the well and came to the door. In the crack of the door, there seemed to be gusts of wind blowing backwards, making people feel even more chilly. I pushed the door hard and it swung open.I raised the flashlight and shot it straight ahead. It was a tunnel about twenty meters long, and at the end of the tunnel was another door.I turned off the flashlight and walked forward.I don’t even believe it myself. When I was walking in this corridor, I really didn’t dare to look back, and I didn’t dare to look around. Maybe I wasn't afraid, but anyway, I didn't do that. I didn't push the door open until I got to the door, and stepped in. There was darkness inside the door, and I knew I was already in the seven secret sacrificial rooms. in one of the rooms. I slowly closed the door. Originally, I just wanted to close the door and keep it in its original state. However, that door was very flexible. I closed it lightly, only to hear Kale's sound, and the door seemed to be locked.I turned around quickly and turned on the flashlight. It turned out that there was an iron hook that had locked the door. I didn't care, because anyway, when I went out, I could remove the iron hook and open the door. I turned around and illuminated it with a flashlight. It was a stone room with no windows, only another door leading to another stone room.And in that stone room, there is nothing but a statue of a god on the stone wall on the left. The statue was carved out of stone, and its lines and composition are the same as those of the brass box I've seen before, and the relief on the box surface is the same.The idol is like a tauren, which looks very hideous and terrifying. I looked at it for a while, but I couldn't see anything unusual, so I pushed open the door leading to the second stone room. The two stone rooms were the same size and had the same nothing. They were also on the left wall. There is a statue of a god carved on a stone wall. The difference is that the statue in the second stone chamber has the head of a snake and a human body instead of a bull head. I was very disappointed in my heart, because if the stone chambers here were all like that, then my trip would be meaningless at all.I regret not asking Wang Jun for clarification. If I had known that was the case, I would not have come here at all. You know, it is not a pleasant thing to be in such an extremely quiet and mysterious ancient temple.Because I at least understand that a strange thing in a box shipped from here has made two people transparent and one invisible.What will happen to me is unpredictable. I continued to walk forward, and the situation in each of the third, fourth, fifth, and sixth stone chambers was the same, the only difference was the statues on the walls.The bodies of the gods on the wall are the same, but their heads are all beasts. On the wall of the sixth stone room, the head of the idol is a monster I have never seen before, and it is extremely frightening. In order to find out what the monster was, I got closer and shot the flashlight directly at the head of the idol. When I shone the light of the flashlight on the god-like head, I suddenly saw a strange light shooting out from the eyes of the tiger-like but not tiger-headed monster!
