Chapter 217: Machine gun fire from the front, shells from behind (please vote for me)
Clang——
The fierce confrontation between the metal blade and the bronze spear, a string of bullets splashed out under the dome of the dark exhibition hall A string of bright sparks.
The Chinese exhibition hall, originally immersed in melodious poetry, was instantly torn apart by the roar of war horses and the roar of soldiers, as if the echoes of the ancient battlefield came through time and space!
Langstroth jerked the reins, and the horse jumped up nimbly, cleverly avoiding the edge of the enemy's bronze spear. The long sword in his hand danced, blocking the dense forest of spears like weaving rain, and then let out a loud roar: "Arrogant foreigner! I am the leader of the Knights of the Round Table, the Knight of the Lake, and the Lion of Britain, Lance Trot! How dare you dare to challenge me!”
However, these heroic words did not slow down the offensive. On the contrary, because of the unfamiliar language, the faces of the hundreds of terracotta warriors and horses became even more ferocious. They went forward one after another, forming an indestructible military formation, with spears like a forest, bows and arrows like rain, tightly connected. entangled this group of knights with a similar number.
Boom - bang!
Seeing a knight fall from his horse, Langstro had no time to take care of Emma and others, and his anger turned into a fierce attack on the silent and tenacious Eastern warriors in front of him.
He raised his sword high and shouted to the knights behind him: "Gather, break through their formation, and let these aggressive bastards see the glory of the British knights!"
As After the order was given, nearly a hundred war horses roared in unison, their iron hooves roared, and they charged towards the array of terracotta warriors and horses. In just one charge, these terracotta warriors guarding the front line were overturned to the ground.
"A mere infantryman, how dare he challenge Britain's greatest knights"
Langstro shook his head disdainfully. In just a few more rounds, his knights could defeat this terracotta warriors. Crush them all to pieces!
However, he never expected that when the terracotta warriors and horses in the exhibition hall fell one by one, in the storage room below the exhibition hall, a figure sitting in a bronze chariot suddenly opened his eyes, and his eyes seemed to be able to Break through the many barriers and look directly at the changing situation upstairs.
At the same time, in a corner of the exhibition hall, Emma and the others who were hiding behind the bronze cauldron looked at the knights and terracotta warriors in the distance, and started to move to the next location. , which is also their destination this time - the Egyptian Pavilion.
“Not bad.”
Emma looked back from time to time while running, and felt a little relieved when she saw that the battle had moved to a wider corridor.
“They didn’t fight at the end of the exhibition hall, otherwise they would have destroyed a lot of cultural relics.”
“You even care about this?”
“No. , but my uncle prefers China. When he is at home, he will watch a Hong Kong movie every three days. He also said that he would take us to travel to the Far East when he has time. If he knew that so many Chinese cultural relics were damaged because of us, You will definitely be angry.”
“Cut”
Relying on the projected map that moved like a living thing in Megan's eyes, the three of them walked quickly and arrived in front of the Egyptian Pavilion in an instant.
On both sides of the museum entrance, just like the Museum of Natural History in New York, huge statues with dog heads and human bodies stand here. Their eyes are bright, like loyal guards.
But the difference is that there are only two dog-headed statues in the Egyptian Pavilion in New York, but here
Wednesday looked in front of us, several stories high, and a dozen statues were staring at them. Looking at her dog-headed guards, she quietly tugged Emma's hand and lowered her voice: "How about you think of another way to lead them to the Terracotta Warriors and Horses?"
" .”
Emma shook her head helplessly, pulled Wednesday back a few steps, and said with a wry smile: "They are so big, probably only the Buddha statues in the Chinese Pavilion and the marble statues in the Greek Pavilion can deal with them."
"What should we do?"
Hearing this on Wednesday, the witch's magic power was ready to move in her hands, but facing these twelve behemoths weighing tens of tons, she couldn't help but feel a sense of powerlessness in her heart.
These guys made of stone can neither be controlled by mind nor ignited by flames. As for control by mind, it is like a worm shaking a tree, and it is impossible to talk about it.
Are you going to perform an out-of-body experience and come back to life in front of them?
Maybe Uncle Emma was right, those so-called magical skills of witches are nothing more than trivial skills in front of the real strong ones.
“Akhnaton!!!”
Emma suddenly shouted loudly, with a bit of determination and expectation in her voice, “Are you there, great Akhenaten? Pharaoh? We are friends of your son, the young Pharaoh Tutankhamen, and we have something urgent to ask for!”
However, the dog-headed guards surrounding them remained unmoved, holding the golden spears in their hands. The cold light flashed, pointing directly at Emma and others, as if ready to launch a fatal attack at any time.
At this critical moment, an ancient and obscure spell came from the depths of the exhibition hall. Immediately afterwards, the originally vicious dog-headed guards stopped their movements and knelt down on one knee. Look behind you respectfully.
Later, an old man dressed in ancient Egyptian ornate gold jewelry held a scepter and slowly walked out of the exhibition hall.
He widened his eyes, looked at the three little girls in front of him carefully, and asked curiously: "Do you know my children?"
Emma nodded quickly and explained eagerly: "We are all his friends, but now he has encountered some troubles, so he entrusted us to come to you for help."
Hearing this, Pharaoh had a complicated look on his face and sighed softly: " This kid doesn't even have the courage to come to Egypt to visit me in person. It seems that he is still brooding about what happened back then."
After saying that, he waved to Emma and others, and then turned around. With a bit of loneliness and helplessness, I returned to the exhibition hall.
Emma and Wednesday looked at each other, wrinkled their noses, and whispered: "He seems to have no idea where he is, and thinks he is still in Egypt."
"They are after death. It’s strange to know that it’s the first time you wake up.” Wednesday curled his lips and pulled Emma to quickly follow the pace of Pharaoh.
At this moment, she just wants to end this absurd adventure as soon as possible. Compared with the relatively tame collections of the New York Museum, everything in the British Museum looks too difficult to deal with.
Shortly afterwards, deep in the Egyptian pavilion.
The old pharaoh sat on a golden throne inlaid with countless gems. His eyes were full of surprise, staring closely at the gold medal of recovery presented by Emma and the others in his hands.
"You mean, we are all dead now, and we were resurrected because of this gold medal?"
"Yes."
Emma answered frankly, "But the problem at hand Yes, due to the loss of the death stone, the power of the gold medal cannot be balanced, so in our museum, your son, the young pharaoh Tutankhamun, is in a critical situation. We must find the death stone and remount it. Only by winning the gold medal can he save his life."
When Pharaoh heard this, his expression suddenly changed. He put his hand on his forehead and fell into deep thought.
After a moment, he raised his head suddenly, his eyes flashing.
When Emma and others saw this, they couldn't help but show expectant smiles on their faces. Looking at this posture, a light bulb turned on on their foreheads. They must have recalled the location of the gem!
"I have never seen that gem and know nothing about it."
"What?! Then why were you so excited just now!"
Ai Ma looked at the sincere Pharaoh on the throne in astonishment, and said helplessly, "This gold medal was excavated from your son's tomb. As a father, if you don't know, then who else can know?" ?”
“This.”
The old pharaoh scratched his head, "In my memory, from the first time I saw this gold medal, there has never been any gemstone inlaid on it. If there is, it must have been lost in the time of my ancestors. If you want to retrieve the gem, you may have to ask the older Pharaoh."
"."
Emma and others looked at each other, wondering if they could find the little Pharaoh's father. It was already very difficult, where else could they go to find his grandparents?
Looking at the lost and frustrated expressions of the little girls in front of him, Pharaoh smiled, raised his brows high, coughed lightly and said: "Although I don't know the whereabouts of the gems, it doesn't mean that I There’s no way to know.”
After saying that, he waved to Emma and the others, and mysteriously led them to an unknown place.
Looking at the sudden behavior of the Pharaoh, Wednesday murmured in confusion: "Do you think this Pharaoh is a bit strange? Why does he look like an out-of-line child?"
"Yeah!" Emma nodded. Echoed, recalling the previous experience, "It seems that the collections that have been resurrected by gold medals are like this. Their personalities are very different from those in life. Look at that Lancelot. The book describes him as a heroic king of knights, but now he is Like an impulsive and irritable young man."
"."
Compared with the previous Chinese pavilion, which was full of poetry and painting, with porcelain, jade, and bronze ware complementing each other, the Egyptian pavilion looks direct and rough. .
When you step into it, the first thing that catches your eye is a bright golden light. Yes, except for a few stone sculptures, almost all of the items on display here are glittering gold objects.
After walking through the winding corridors for a long time, the pharaoh finally stopped in front of a collection several meters high.
“This is the Sphinx?!”
“Exactly, this is the legendary omniscient Sphinx!”
Looking at it Seeing the human-faced lion snoring and sleeping soundly in front of her, Emma couldn't help but feel curious: "Isn't this thing in front of the Pyramid of Khufu? Why is there a smaller version here?" "
"It's just a royal treasure buried with me. Pharaoh wrote lightly, "Nothing to make a fuss about." But my descendants are really interesting. They not only built a palace for me, but also left these treasures with me. ”
When Wednesday heard this, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly, resisting the urge to tell the old man that this was not Egypt but Britain, and that he was dug out of the ground after the country was invaded and placed on foreign exhibitions.
"Sphinx?"
Pharaoh whispered in the ear of the human face, "Wake up, Sphinx."
"Hmm~~ ~"
With a lazy sound, the sleeping Sphinx was actually awakened. "Are you Khufu?"
"No, no, no, I am. I am the Pharaoh who only appeared about a thousand years after that era." The Pharaoh quickly clarified.
“Oh, I didn’t expect it has been so long.”
The Sphinx arched its upper body, stretched for a long time, and looked at the old man and the third man in front of it. Xiao, asked curiously, "Are you here to guess riddles from me?"
"Riddles?" Pharaoh shook his head, raised the gold medal in his hand and waved it in front of him, "We are here to wake up You want to know where the gem on this gold medal is. I hope you can use your magical power to help us find it.”
"Resuscitation gold medal?!" After seeing the gold medal, Sphinx's eyes widened instantly and he asked in surprise, "This thing is still there?"
"Yeah, not only is it here, but also if it weren't for it , you can’t be resurrected either.”
Wednesday impatiently took the gold medal from Pharaoh. She really couldn’t stand the verbose character of these guys. She pointed to the depression on the top of the gold medal and asked seriously: "Originally, there was supposed to be a ruby inlaid on it, but it is missing now. We need to know the whereabouts of that gem."
"Oh. Oh. You have such a bad temper~" Sphinx raised his eyebrows and glanced at Wednesday several times, then raised his head and said arrogantly, "I do know where the gem is, but if you want to know, you have to unlock my A riddle. "
Without waiting for the other party to respond, he read out the riddle: "What animal walks on four legs in the morning, two legs at noon, and two legs at night?"
"It's a human!"
Emma answered first, then winked at him funny, "It seems that your riddle library needs to be updated."
"."< br>
The Sphinx looked confused. This was the first time he saw someone rushing to answer. When he came to his senses, he immediately shook his head in denial: "This question doesn't count, let me come up with another one. Something starts out very long, then becomes shorter, and finally becomes longer again.”
“It becomes longer again in the end, right?”
Emma chuckled lightly, and then said proudly, "How about I give you a question."
She remembered the riddle her uncle once told, so she asked directly: "Guess an action, 'Standing on both sides of the Taiwan Strait, holding secret documents in hand, machine guns were fired from the front, and artillery fire was pouring from the rear.'"
After hearing this, Sphinx was stunned, frowned, and asked in confusion: " What is a machine gun?”
“You can think of it as a bow and arrow.”
“What about artillery shells?”
"Trebuchet."
"."
The Sphinx scratched his head, and several minutes passed, but he still couldn't figure out the answer.
Looking at his increasingly ugly face, Wednesday snorted and raised the gold medal in his hand: "Want to know the answer? Tell us where the gem is first."
"Alas. ”
The Sphinx sighed and said helplessly, "A long time ago, there was an Egyptian princess named Ammanet"
"Stop, stop."
Wednesday quickly interrupted what he was about to start. She had a premonition that once this guy started talking, he would be endless, and at least it would be a long speech of several thousand words.
She pointed at the Sphinx and said solemnly: "Just tell us where the gem is. We don't want to hear how it was lost, and we don't want to know the story behind it."
Si Finks shrugged and nodded: "In an ancient tomb on the outskirts of London, the remains of a certain leader of the Crusaders are buried there, and the death gem was buried with his remains. However."
His eyes became solemn: "You have to be careful. If my perception is correct, Ammanette, the cursed person chosen by the God of Death, is also in London at the moment. She may be more eager to find the Death Stone than you are. "
"Annet?" Emma asked confused: "Who is she?"
The Sphinx shrugged: "One who failed to inherit the position of Pharaoh. A mad woman who dedicated her soul to the god of death and even killed her father. Legend has it that she was mummified and buried far away from Egypt. But now it seems that she has escaped from the underworld and controls an army of mummies. If you meet her, you will never be a match. So, you must find the gem before her."
Emma and Wednesday looked at each other and saw urgency in each other's eyes. They no longer hesitated, stuffed the gold medals into their schoolbags, turned around and left the museum, heading to the suburbs to explore various ancient tombs.
“Hey, wait!”
Seeing them leaving, the Sphinx behind her hurriedly shouted, "You haven't told me what the answer is yet!"
"Shit!" Emma replied without looking back.
"."
The Sphinx looked at the Pharaoh in confusion, "Did she just say shit?"
"Yes." The Pharaoh said with conviction. Nodding, "It's just shit."
"."
Soon after, when Emma and the others were preparing for Megan to project the fastest exit route, deafening sounds of fighting and wailing suddenly came from the direction of the Chinese exhibition hall.
"These guys haven't finished fighting yet?" Emma muttered in confusion.
Everyone stood on tiptoes and looked through the crowd. When they saw the scene in the exhibition hall clearly, they all opened their mouths in shock.
The Knights of the Round Table, who were originally closing in on the terracotta warriors and horses, were now surrounded by dozens of bronze chariots!
Each chariot was filled with terracotta warriors holding spears and showing great momentum. In the vigorous and powerful galloping of the resurrected bronze horses, they surrounded the knights in the middle like raging sea waves, as if they would completely submerge and devour the knights at any time!
What shocked them the most was that behind the bronze chariot team, there was an even larger and more majestic chariot.
This chariot is pulled by four tall and mighty bronze horses. On both sides are terracotta soldiers holding spears standing like iron towers, guarding the safety of the chariot. At the front of the chariot, a man in black armor was holding a long sword, his eyes were burning, and he was looking at Lancelot, the leader of the knights, indifferently.
"If you dare to offend our great Qin power, you will be punished!" The man's deep and powerful voice echoed in the exhibition hall.
"Man, I don't understand you, but this must be a misunderstanding. I don't even know you, uh, I don't know you!" Langstro shouted with a confused look.
"Xidi barbarians."
The man on the chariot sneered disdainfully when he heard Lanstro's nonsense, and then suddenly pulled out the long sword in his hand and pointed it directly at Lanstro and others opposite. People roared loudly: "Kill!"
"Kill——!"
The surrounding soldiers responded one after another, whips twitching, and bronze war horses leading chariots like strings. Rushing like an arrow towards Langstro, who was surrounded in the center!
"Farke, I surrender! I surrender!!!"
When Lanstro saw the overwhelming enemies and the unstoppable bronze chariots, he instantly lost his fighting spirit, raised his hands high, and knelt down in front of the terracotta warriors and horses very naked.
However, to his expectation, even if he surrendered, these terracotta warriors and horses showed no intention of stopping. Instead, they rushed forward even faster, and the expressions on their faces even became more excited. .
“Can’t you understand?! I surrender!”
Langstrou turned over to avoid the spear that was stabbing him, and shouted at the man on the chariot. : "You have no chivalry!"
He dodged left and right in the spear formation, and his originally gorgeous armor had now become tattered and in a mess.
"Plop."
Emma and others who were hiding behind the door of the Egyptian Pavilion and witnessed this scene couldn't help but laugh when they saw the once glorious Lancelot now in such a desolate state.
"Who is the man on the chariot? The Emperor of the East?" Wednesday asked curiously.
"Isn't it?" Emma shook her head, "That man looks more like a general. But it's none of our business. Let's go quickly. We have to get it before that Anmanet. Only to the Death Gem."
As they spoke, they ran in the other direction cautiously, trying to avoid the furious Eastern General.
However, before they had taken a few steps, the sound of heavy footsteps came from the front.
In an instant, a group of huge marble statues stood in front of them like mountains. Zeus, who had previously asked them to help him scratch his itch, was now being held in the hands of a giant stone statue.
After seeing Emma and the others, the old man smiled triumphantly and said: "You can leave if you want, but you must keep the treasure that can revive us."
