Rodella's Fantastic Girl

At the beginning, everyone thought that to search in this building, you only need to search a few rooms, and at most you will see a few shriveled mummies.But no one thought that there would be other holes in this pyramid.

After walking through a flat passage, the next step is actually a staircase extending downwards.In fact, the pyramid looks relatively large from the outside, but at least the scope of the search can be confirmed. In that case, several people should be able to complete the task faster by dividing the labor and cooperation, but if you want to connect to another place, then you don’t know how to search. How big is the scope, if it is a huge underground labyrinth or something, it will be troublesome.

After walking through the stairs, what appeared in front of the girls was a relatively large space, which was larger than the narrow passage anyway, enough for five girls to stand side by side.This is good news, but the world will not always go as one wishes, the so-called good news will always appear together with a bad news, and the bad news is that there is a cliff about one meter away in front.

The cliff is not too wide, only a few meters. If you shine a flashlight on it, you can directly see the opposite side of the cliff.There is a stone bridge built on top of the cliff. A thick layer of dust has accumulated on the bridge surface. In some places, the stones have even fallen off. It seems that it has passed quite a long time.

"Wow, that's really deep."

Feilu came to the edge of the cliff, knelt on the ground with her legs, and supported the ground with one hand, while holding a flashlight in the other hand to shine down.However, the light has been swallowed by the darkness a few meters away, and it is completely impossible to see what the bottom looks like.Xiao Ji, who was supposed to be standing beside her, took a step back immediately after seeing the cliff.

"Fei Lu, be careful, don't fall."

"Well, okay, I'll be right back."

Instead of standing up directly from the ground, Fei Lu stood up after stepping back a few steps while lying on her stomach. It seemed that she was also afraid that a slippery foot would cause a tragic accident.

"How can there be such a deep crack here, it can't be seen from the top at all."

"That's right, probably the people who built this place didn't know it at the beginning, and they couldn't stop it when they found out."

Alicia took the lead on the old stone bridge. She jumped a few times on it and then stomped a few times, looking terrified.

"Don't worry, everyone. This bridge is relatively strong. If you take your time, it should be fine."

After some tests by Alicia, it was determined that the bridge was passable, so several people walked up in a vertical row.I don't know if it disappeared because of too long time, or it was not built in the first place. In short, there are no guardrails on both sides of the bridge, so the safest way is for everyone to pass through the middle and not lean towards the sides.Alicia takes the lead, and Feilu is at the end. This lineup is the best choice.

When I was a bear kid, I always did some nerve-wracking pranks.For example, when walking by the river with friends, or walking on the path on the side of the mountain during a spring outing, sometimes he will suddenly push his friends aside, and when he feels that he is about to fall Then jerk it back again.After that, you can laugh at the expressions others show because of being frightened. Of course, the final result is often taught by others.

In this situation, I can still think of this kind of prank, but Keke really feels that he is a little hopeless.Different from the riverside and mountain trails, this place is above the abyss. In order not to stumble, everyone is almost tense. Who would deliberately do such a prank.

Walking on this bridge, you may feel that the wind blowing from nowhere has been blowing on your calves, and your feet will become light if you are not careful.If I really did such a prank, then the consequences would definitely be unimaginable, maybe all five people would fall, so for the sake of safety, I'd better take care of my hands.

After Feilu walked down the stone bridge, the hearts of the five girls fell to the ground, so everyone passed safely.But in fact, when we go back, we have to step on this stone bridge again, so it can't be said that we have completely passed it now.

After walking through the stone bridge, an arch appeared in front of Ke Ke and the others. Behind the arch was an almost narrow space, and it was divided into three roads.

"Uh, what's the deal? Where are we going?"

"Would you like to try to go separately, maybe one of them will find the Philosopher's Stone soon, and then come back here to gather."

"No, it's better not to. It's better for everyone to gather together in a strange place. If you find that you have made a mistake, you can just walk back. Although it may take more time, it is safer."

Alicia immediately rejected Leliana's proposal, and judging from the expressions of several other people, they all agreed with Alicia's words more. Lailiana felt that it was impossible for her opinion to pass, so she did not agree. to argue.

"So which way should we go?"

There are three routes in front of her, no matter which one is the same deep, no difference can be seen from the appearance, and there is no way to get some hints from other places, so Alicia can only helplessly spread her hands.

"I don't have a clue. It doesn't matter which side you choose anyway. You don't know what's inside. Let's go in order, starting with the one on the far left."

It was still Alicia who took the lead, and the others followed behind. After all, no one thought of a reason to choose another route.As Alicia said, the three roads in front of them didn't make any difference to them, but they didn't expect that their choices would remind others.Walking on the dusty floor will inevitably leave deep and shallow footprints. After a period of time, the person who came here saw the footprints on the ground extending into that route, and walked on to another road with confidence. Road.

Entering the small space again, the sound of everyone's footsteps began to echo one after another, and as the sound of footsteps sounded rhythmically, a stone fell from the side wall and rolled to Xiao Ji's feet.

I felt like I stepped on something, and after I moved my feet, I found that it could still move, so I bent down to pick it up.

Holding it in my hand and observing it repeatedly, I always feel that this thing is not like an ordinary stone.In terms of the touch and hardness of its surface, it is indeed a stone, but this shape is not like that of ordinary stones. The bottom is flat, and the back is a semicircle, which is also very smooth. There are tentacles at the top of the stone, and the whole stone is like...a bug?If it is really formed naturally, then we can only lament the omnipotence of nature.

"This stone is so strange, it seems to be a bug."

Xiao Ji stopped and showed the things in his hands to everyone.

"You are also quite strange. You actually said that it was transformed by bugs. Why can't you imagine that someone carved it into this shape?"

"Uh... I just said it casually..."

"Isn't this thing a scarab?"

Alicia took it from Xiao Ji, observed it carefully, and then confirmed her opinion.

"Well, it really is a scarab."

"Scarab? What is it?"

"Oh, don't you know? This is a kind of totem believed by the ancient Egyptians. They often made various animals into totems, such as wolves, crocodiles, and eagles. Just like the gods enshrined in China, it is Their spiritual pillar, the scarab is also one of them, a symbol of hardworking and hardworking people."

Facing Alicia's erudition, the others shook their heads blankly. Even Feilu, who has lived in this world for more than 100 years, seems to know nothing about it.

"Hey, you guys, you should read more books no matter what. There is a saying in Egypt that the sun rises in the east and sets in the west every day, and it repeats itself. People at that time thought that there was a worm pushing it from east to west. He worked hard every day without stopping, so people enshrined it as a scarab totem."

"But why do you want to associate the sun with a worm? It's completely irrelevant. Why not other things, such as lions, at least they are such strong animals that they can push the sun."

"The so-called inspiration comes from life. Egyptians think so because this bug is doing similar things in reality."

"In reality? Does this kind of worm really exist?"

"Well, it's not just in Egypt, it's everywhere. The scientific name is... Qiang Mantis."

"Qiang beetle..."

Coco's brain was spinning rapidly, trying to find some clues from past memories.I have indeed heard of such things as Qiang Mantis, where is it?

"It won't be that one, rolling a ball on the ground..."

"That's right, it's the dung beetle!"

"Eh!"

Thinking of holding a guy who works with feces every day in his hand just now, even though it was just a stone, Xiao Ji still felt nausea in his heart, and knocked the stone in Alicia's hand to the ground with a slap After that, he wiped his hands over his body again.

"Hey, what are you doing, this is a cultural relic."

"Okay, even if it is a cultural relic, it can't be sold, and besides, we are not here to find this thing."

Alicia wanted to pick up the stone that fell on the ground, but Xiao Ji immediately grabbed her hand and pulled her up.

I really don't understand why this worm rolls a ball of feces every day. What kind of nutrition is in it? Sure enough, humans can't understand the world of worms. In addition... the ancient Egyptians who believed in this worm as a god also couldn't understand it. fathom.
