I am the king of the wild live

Chapter 385 Unexpectedly It Was A Tomb

The only pity is that the live broadcast signal was disturbed, otherwise, with this treasure, it would be enough to increase his reputation by tens of millions.

At this time, the sun was gradually setting, and the sky was beginning to turn dark, but this was not a problem for Wang Yu. Before it was completely dark, he quickly collected a lot of firewood around him, then picked two hardwoods, and used a firesaw to remove them. The fire method starts a fire.

In just a few minutes, a bunch of blazing bonfires appeared beside the ledge. After making three more torches, Wang Yu lit one and walked slowly into the cave.

Since there was wind in the cave, it meant that the air in it was flowing, so he dared to go in with confidence.

The space in the cave is very spacious, and by the light of the torch, you can clearly see the traces of carvings on the rock wall.

As he continued to move forward, Wang Yu could clearly feel that the cave was sloping downward. When he turned his head again, he could no longer see the light from the campfire behind him.

As Wang Yu walked, he counted the time silently. About 5 minutes later, the front of the cave suddenly opened up, and a space covering several hundred square meters appeared in front of him.

There was only the last torch left in his hand, but Wang Yu found an object similar to a desk lamp by the light of the fire.

When I got closer, it was really a desk lamp, but it looked extremely weird. Below it was a thick oil tank, with a finger-thick wick protruding from the oil tank and connected to the metal desk lamp.

Wang Yu tried to lean the torch against the wick to see if it could be ignited, but what he didn't expect was that the wick was actually lit, and the fire was so bright that it immediately illuminated a small half of the entire space.

Seeing this, Wang Yu was not overly surprised. Don't underestimate the wisdom and craftsmanship of the ancients. You must know that the ever-burning lamp in the tomb of the ancient Roman prince Peles had been burning for 2000 years. The oil lamp in front of him It is no surprise that it can be ignited now.

Of course, the eternal lamp in the tomb of the ancient Roman prince Peles did not really burn for 2000 years, because it does not conform to the laws of physics, the space in the tomb is limited, and the oil lamp needs oxygen to burn, so let alone 2000 years, even a year It's all choking.

In fact, the principle of the ever-burning lamp is very simple. After the tomb is sealed, the air cannot circulate. After the oxygen is consumed, the oil lamps in the tomb are extinguished one after another. However, white phosphorus is added to the wicks of these oil lamps.

Many people know that white phosphorus has a very low ignition point and will spontaneously ignite at room temperature, so no matter how many years have passed, as long as someone opens the tomb, fresh air will flood into it again.

With oxygen, the white phosphorus in the wick will ignite spontaneously, re-igniting the oil lamp, causing the illusion that the oil lamp has burned hundreds or thousands.

The real mystery of the ever-burning lamp lies in the fuel, that is, the kerosene when burning. This kind of kerosene was made by the ancients using a special process. At present, we only know that the main material is extracted from whale oil. As for other materials, current scientists cannot give it. Answer.

This specially made lamp oil can be kept for thousands of years and still be used.

Obviously, the oil lamp in front of me was made with that mysterious traditional technique, which is why it was lighted easily after many years. Unfortunately, this traditional technique has been lost now. The last time it appeared was in 1802. The tomb of a European aristocrat.

Under the bright light of the oil lamp, a small half of the entire underground space was revealed. Wang Yu vaguely saw that there seemed to be several statues as tall as a man standing in the central area in front of him.

According to the layout of the underground space, there should be more than one oil lamp. Thinking of this, he held up a torch and searched in the outer area.

Sure enough, Wang Yu soon found three other identical oil lamps. These four oil lamps were distributed in the four directions of southeast, northwest, and when all the oil lamps were lit one after another, the entire underground space was completely illuminated.

After he saw the things in the central area clearly, he couldn't help swallowing. The scene in front of him was so weird that he couldn't accept it for a while.

In the central area, a three-meter-long black coffin was quietly hanging in mid-air. A dozen or so arm-thick iron chains tightly wrapped the coffin, and these iron chains extended all the way to the rock at the top.

On the periphery of the black coffin, eight 2-meter-high dark statues faced the coffin, and the movements of these statues were very unified. All the statues stretched out their right hands, spread their palms, and surrounded the coffin.

To be honest, even though Wang Yu didn't believe in ghosts and gods at all, when he saw this scene suddenly, his heart still felt a little hairy. He thought it was a treasure hiding place, and this underground cave should be full of treasures, but he didn't expect it to be a tomb!
"hiss!"

Seeing this weird scene, Wang Yu took a breath from the mat, waited for his mood to calm down, and walked forward slowly.

He is an explorer, not a tomb robber. If faced with a pile of treasures, Wang Yu will collect them without any pressure, but if it is the tomb of an ancient person, then he will definitely turn around and leave without saying a word.

Judging from the current picture, it seems to be an ancient tomb, but this ancient tomb is too weird, who would bury himself on the haunted ghost island? And it also left clues.

Therefore, he decided to step forward and take a closer look. If it was confirmed that it was a tomb, Wang Yu would not take anything away from it.

Coming behind a statue, Wang Yu took a closer look at the material of the statue under the bright firelight, and found that it was the same as the volcanic basalt stone on the island. It seems that these statues were not transported from outside, but made from local materials.

"Fuck!"

When he took a step forward and saw the front of the statue clearly, he suddenly uttered a curse word.

There is really no way, the statue in front of him has a jackal head, a scepter in his left hand, and a right hand stretched out towards the coffin, with his palms spread out.

Anubis!
Although Wang Yu knows nothing about archaeology, he still knows about Anubis, an Egyptian god who appears in major movies.

In Egyptian mythology, Anubis is the god who protects the dead. You can see statues or murals of Anubis in any pharaoh’s tomb. The ancient Egyptians believed that as long as Anubis protects the dead, the dead can survive. Reborn.

The appearance of Anubis made Wang Yu suddenly come to his senses. Isn’t the statue with a human body and a falcon’s head opposite the Egyptian sun god Horus?
There are eight statues in total. From this, it can be inferred that the other six should be six of the nine gods of Egypt. There are many gods in Egypt, but only nine are the most famous, collectively called the Nine Pillars God, and one of the Nine Pillars Gods One is called Seth, the god of chaos, war and storm.
