Live Wilderness Adventure

Chapter 835 Ancient Tomb

Under the setting sun, the earth is golden.

The long-term wind and sand erosion has caused the pyramid to lose its former brilliance, exuding a misty matte light, as if people have traveled through thousands of years.

【pyramid! 】

[It's a pyramid! 】

【Wuhu, Wuhu, have you arrived yet? 】

Yes, the pyramid.

From a distance, this pyramid is completely incompatible with majesty, its appearance is dilapidated, and its surface is even more uneven.

The overall structure is like a ladder, and there are only two floors, which has no similarity with the tall buildings in everyone's impression.

'Humans are afraid of time, but time is afraid of the pyramids', this sentence comes from an ancient Egyptian proverb, which of course places people's good expectations and longings.

Bi Fang slowed down Alpha's progress, with inexplicable emotion in his tone.

It's just that, under the influence of thousands of years, it still left indelible marks on it.

Do you know that the earliest pyramids were actually white in color?

【well? white? real or fake? 】

[Isn't this golden? 】

[Weird knowledge is about to attack the brain]

People have found remnants of white limestone on the top of the pyramid of Giza, and around the pyramid of Giza, there are still scattered pieces of white limestone, so scholars speculate that the earliest pyramid was covered with a layer of white limestone, the building The overall look is a brilliant white.

After this inference appeared, it caused a sensation all over the world.

Further investigation later found that when the ancient Egyptians mined stones, they would classify them.

Limestone, sandstone, alabaster, and granite have different hardness and mining methods. Workers will use different tools to carefully select the limestone with the highest hardness, cut it into a square, and then cut the sandstone into a large rectangular stone at the bottom.

What is certain is that the pyramids of Giza are located on top of limestone quarries in a rocky area.

After the basic construction work was completed, people began to move the limestone to pave the pyramid with a white outer wall. These white limestone walls came from the Tula quarry on the upper Nile River.

After all the steps are completed, the tall pyramid will be shining white and shining brilliantly in the sun, becoming the most eye-catching building within a few kilometers.

Is there any more beautiful building than this?

[Wow, that must be platinum, right? 】

【It must be the same as a diamond】

The audience was immediately attracted by Bi Fang's description.

It is a pity that in the 14th century AD, Bader al-Din Hassan, the sultan of the Bahri dynasty, wanted to build a temple and a fortress. Because there was not enough stone, and it would take a lot of manpower and resources to mine limestone, he set his sights on Egypt. He stole many white stones from the limestone that covers the pyramid.

Coupled with the passage of time, the limestone above and below the pyramid is gradually eroded by the sun and the moon.

After experiencing the vibration of the earth's surface, the limestone on the outer layer of the pyramid finally completely collapsed, and large pieces were scattered around. After being blown by wind and rain, it became the current broken stones, and the original appearance can no longer be seen. .”

Nowadays there are more than 80 pyramids found in Egypt, not all of them are as magnificent and majestic as the Pyramid of Khufu. The dilapidated ones are the true portrayal of most of the pyramids. Besides, even the Pyramid of Khufu It’s no longer the shining white light it used to be.”

【Pity】

【Same as Yuanmingyuan】

【There is always a sixth child】

But no matter how dilapidated the building in front of him is, it is a pyramid, one of the wonders of the world, which means that this journey is about to reach its end.

Bi Fang was very excited, but he didn't whip his horse and let Alpha speed up.

This trip through the Sahara, he has experienced no less than three times of sandstorms alone, and he will be crawled on by scorpions when he sleeps at night, and he must be careful of the ubiquitous quicksand and poisonous snakes when walking.

The high temperature of over forty-five degrees during the day, the sub-zero cold at night, the double experience of ice and fire, hunger, thirst, and negative states torture the body all the time.

But now that the hope of victory is in front of him, he doesn't want it to end so soon.

Bi Fang stopped Alpha, got off his back, and started walking towards the pyramid.

Egypt is a holy place for tourism, especially the pyramids in the territory. There are more than 80 pyramids, but not all of them are majestic and magnificent. They are scattered in the wilderness, and many of them are unattended.

The same is true for the one in front of Bi Fang.

There are no tourists nearby, standing alone in the wilderness.

The sun slowly set behind Bi Fang, coating him with a layer of gold.

Uh, wait, it's like quicksand here.

Bi Fangwu, who was walking, had to stop, and looked down at his feet, which were mostly sunken, feeling a little depressed.

These quicksands hidden in the desert environment are impossible to defend against. Once you walk, you must be prepared to be swallowed. But for a master with rich survival experience like Bi Fang, the mere quicksand is completely a novice dungeon.

Bi Fang let go of the rein, and Alpha took two steps back alone, away from the range of quicksand.

Then he threw out his backpack and put the sticks behind his back as a support point. Bi Fang began to fall backwards slowly, moving little by little, trying to get up from the quicksand.

You can also take off your shoes if you feel the need to do so, as they create a lot of resistance when you try to pull your feet out, especially if they have flat, hard soles.

Wait, something's wrong

Lying on the quicksand, Bi Fang, who was really about to move his scapular muscles, stopped, feeling the touch of the soles of his feet, a little surprised.

It's not soft gravel at all, it's very hard.

Just when Bi Fang was wondering, a long-lost voice sounded in his mind.

[During testing, trigger a side mission: The Lost Ancient Tomb, do you want to accept it? 】

'catch! '

Buffon was delighted.

Side missions!

How long has this word been missing?

It has been so long that Bi Fang's memory has become blurred, and he doubts whether the branch line really exists.

It's been almost two years, and there are only a handful of side missions I have done. I never expected that another one would pop up now, so I naturally chose to accept it without the slightest hesitation.

Looking at the task name, I seem to have gotten lucky and stepped on something unusual

Ancient ruins were actually found here near the pyramids.

Bi Fang stagnated in the quicksand, and the audience in the live broadcast room were still stuck in what he just said.

[What's wrong? 】

[What's wrong, did the quicksand sting your ass? 】

No, quicksand doesn't sting my ass, I feel like there's something under my feet.

After being prompted by the system, Bi Fang was not in a hurry to break free from the quicksand.

Surrounded by a wilderness, except for the pyramid in the distance, there are no other ruins at all.

Combined with the abnormal touch under his feet, it is already obvious where the so-called relics are.

This is also normal, if the ruins are really on the surface, it is impossible for Bi Fang to discover them.

Bi Fang got up from the quicksand again, and gradually slid down, the hard touch of the soles of his feet became more and more obvious.

Feel it carefully under your feet, it looks like a huge stone, but it is really hard to say how hard it is. When Bi Fang put the weight of his whole body on it, and deliberately shook it to speed up the sinking speed, the huge stone under his feet The block also sank along with it.

The curiosity of the audience was aroused, and they asked what it was.

【What the hell】

【Could it be stepping on a treasure?】

【The Forty Thieves of Alibaba】

It should be a stone, very flat, but not firm, wait a moment, I will come out first.

Bi Fang stopped moving. At this time, the quicksand had sunk to his chest, almost completely submerging him.

Just as Bi Fang was spreading his hands, ready to let himself slowly swim out, the stones that had been under his feet suddenly disappeared, and his feet were suddenly empty.

Immediately afterwards, the surrounding quicksand began to flow slowly from the original static state, and then became faster and faster, almost forming a vortex.

Bi Fang, who had just leaned out half of his body, was pulled by the strong suction of the vortex, unable to get out at all, and sank deeper and deeper, and soon buried in the chest again, and it was more serious than before.

Seeing that the sand was about to bury Bi Fang's neck, the audience in the live broadcast room were completely gripped.

[Hastily, the horse stumbled! 】

[What's going on with Lao Fang, why is the car overturned?]

【How does this sand flow so fast】

[Is this still quicksand? I don't know how to bully you! ? 】

Bi Fang's heart was pounding, and he felt the pressure around him getting bigger and bigger, making him unable to breathe at all. He grabbed at random with both hands, but he couldn't grab anything except the sliding sand.

The situation was not good, Bi Fang quickly withdrew his right hand, trying to untie the rope around his waist

From the chest cavity to the neck, then to the chin, until finally only the eyes remained, just before it was completely submerged, a big hand broke through the quicksand again and threw out a length of rope.

The muscles of Bi Fang's whole body were connected into one piece, and they exerted their strength together, like a flying fish jumping out of the sea, showing half of its face and shouting.

alpha!

bite!

rope!

Alpha, who was jumping back and forth on the shore, got the instruction and was stunned for a moment when he saw the end of the rope on the ground, but quickly reacted before the end of the rope slipped, stepped forward to bite the rope, and then retreated.

The rope was stretched straight, but with the help of Alpha, the sea-fixing beast, it quickly moved out of the sand sea little by little.

The completely opposite situation appeared, the palms, arms, and finally the head, neck, and chest cavity, as if the scene reappeared in time.

The muscles of Bi Fang's forearm were as hard as a rock, and he firmly grasped the rope, and with the slight shaking, the pressure around him was greatly reduced.

The rest of the quicksand poured into the infinite abyss underground like running water, even affecting the sand standing under Alpha's feet, causing it to retreat quickly in fright.

Bi Fang was dragged and slid outwards, surrounded by choking light yellow smoke and dust. From a distance, it looked like a mist had suddenly risen from the ground.

The entire land is roaring, like a non-stop polishing machine, shaking the gravel inside.

When all the dust settled, Bi Fang lay on the ground coughing violently, almost retching, with fine gravel floating everywhere, and he didn't know how much he inhaled into his lungs just now.

Fortunately, I trained Alpha before, hahaha.

After finally taking a breath, Bi Fang couldn't help laughing.

People have stumbled, horses have stumbled.

Quicksand is the most ingenious mechanism nature has devised.

There are too many and too dense quicksands in the Sahara, and the types are different, such as dry quicksand, wet quicksand and so on.

Bi Fang had already thought about the situation that he would not be able to break free if he fell into a dangerous situation, so he trained Alpha in advance to bite the rope and drag.

[Awesome! 】

[It has to be my brother Fang! ! 】

[Give Fangshen some attention! ! 】

[Small feeding bottle with long beard is presented to the anchor spaceship*1]

[Pig Heart and Shrimp as a gift to the live broadcast yacht*1—follow me! 】

【What is on the ground? Is there a hole over there】

When the yellow mist floating in the air slowly dissipated, Bi Fang cautiously went to the place where he encountered the quicksand before, and found a small hole less than half a meter in diameter.

The cave was pitch black, and it was impossible to see what was inside.

But it appeared brightly on the ground, and no one could resist the urge to go in and take a look.

[Fuck, shit, shit, what the hell is this? 】

[Is it a relic? Or a cave? 】

[Old Fang, you shit is out of luck, you can find all of this, what kind of explorer are you, go be a treasure hunter! 】

[Go in and have a look, hurry up! 】

The audience in the live broadcast room had completely forgotten the thrilling scene just now, and they were all urging Bi Fang to go in and have a look.

Do not worry.

Compared with the audience, Bi Fang, a professional explorer, calmed down when he saw the hole in the ground.

In other words, it was Bi Fang's professionalism that made him resist the urge to go in immediately.

These strange caves have been buried underground for a long time, and there are likely to be some toxic gases and some flammable and explosive gases in them. You must not enter them rashly.

I don't know if you have heard of the curse of the Egyptian Pharaoh.

This claim was discovered in 1922 by Howard Carter in Tutankhamun's tomb in Egypt.

The owner of that ancient Egyptian tomb is Tutankhamun. The inscription of the curse roughly means that whoever enters the pharaoh's tomb, the god of death will come to that person.

Hearing what Bi Fang said, many viewers immediately had an image.

After all, there are many similar movie plots.

Many spectators shuddered, looking at the dark cave, as if they would die in the next second.

As a result, Bi Fang changed the subject: Of course this curse is fake, it was completely exaggerated by the media, and the rhythm was suddenly brought up. It was later proved that the curse of the Egyptian pharaoh did not exist. Today, the Egyptian tomb is placed in the National Museum of Egypt. .”

Howard Carter shot to fame after discovering Tutankhamun's tomb, funded by Lord Carnarfon.

It took them 15 years to find the tomb, but Lord Carnarvon died a year after discovering Tutankhamun's tomb.

Some people began to say that this was the curse of the Egyptian pharaoh, and the more they said it, the more evil they became.

Later, more and more deaths were related to the Pharaoh's curse, and there were even rumors of Howard Carter's death, until Carter came out to refute the rumors, saying that he was still alive and that the Pharaoh's curse did not exist.

In the end, Carter finally lived to be 64 years old, and the rumors were self-defeating.

About the curse of the Egyptian pharaoh, why many people who came into contact with the tomb of the Egyptian pharaoh died young, and the correct guess is that this has nothing to do with the curse of the Egyptian pharaoh, but has something to do with the tomb.

The organisms in the pharaoh's tomb rot and deteriorate, and will produce pathogenic bacteria or some toxic gases.

People at that time did not have a good sense of prevention, and rushed in as soon as they discovered the ruins, so many people who entered the tomb were easily infected and even died.

So we still need to make some preparations before going in.
