Chapter 102 The strange pyramid under the church
After hearing her cry, everyone gathered around.
All eyes are focused on the stone gate on the ground that has been dusted by time.
"Everyone has seen the movie."
Lange glanced at the stone door and looked around at everyone, with a certain caution in his tone, "In movies, unknown dangers often hide behind such doors. Nine times out of ten, they are murderous monsters. Once opened, It will definitely cause a series of troubles, so my suggestion is to leave as if you haven’t seen it, or it’s not too late for us to come back and take a look.”
Normally he might not care, but now that the curator has not been found, it is not the time to cause trouble.
Around him, Annabeth and Tyson, who were preparing to leave on Toothless's Tailwind Dragon, also nodded in agreement.
However, Jones and his colleagues took a different view.
"More than 1,800 years have passed since modern times here. What kind of monster can live for so long?"
"That's right, and even if there is a monster, how can such an ordinary stone chain lock it? What is contained here is most likely the treasure in the church!" Laura also followed up.
"Treasure?"
Hearing this, Lange raised his eyebrows slightly and couldn't help but think about what they said.
Indeed, such a bluestone chain as thick as a finger does not seem to be enough to imprison any terrifying creature.
After thinking for a while, he nodded and said:
"OK, let's take a look. No matter what's down there, we'll leave after seeing it."
"certainly."
After everyone agreed, Lango turned to Toothless, who was rolling in the mud, and called softly.
Toothless heard the sound and came over. First he playfully shook off the mud spots on his body. When he saw that everyone was covered with mud, he then showed a naughty smile.
Then, without waiting for Lange to teach him a lesson, he opened his mouth and spit out a mouthful of thunder fire. The originally strong stone chain shattered instantly after being roasted by the high temperature!
Lange grasped the door handle tightly and pulled hard, and the heavy door burst open.
A long and deep tunnel appeared before everyone's eyes!
What is even more surprising is that there is wind sound passing through the tunnel.
Obviously the other side is not a closed space, so there is no need to worry about suffocation.
After everyone saw this, they took out their flashlights from their pockets and walked out.
The stone steps are covered with thick moss and are very slippery, so you need to be very careful with every step.
But fortunately, they were not ordinary people. Even Jones had decades of adventure experience, so there were no surprises.
As they went deeper, the air in the tunnel seemed to become more dull. Suddenly, everyone felt that their eyes went dark, and the flashlights in their hands all went out for unknown reasons.
"Don't move!"
Lango immediately warned them. Although he didn't understand the reason for the light extinguishing, he didn't feel any creature approaching.
A few seconds later, a circle of red light suddenly spread from his hand, instantly illuminating everything around him.
Jones and others looked up in surprise, only to see Lango holding a pumpkin head with a dazzling red light.
Before they had time to wonder about the origin of the pumpkin head, their eyes were attracted by the scene in front of them, and they all opened their mouths in shock.
In front of them, a pyramid stood impressively!
"Man, are we dazzled?"
Rango patted the one-eyed Tyson beside him and said, "Take a good look with your big eyes. Is that really a pyramid?"
"It seems. It seems to be true!" Tyson blinked his one eye and nodded vigorously.
On the other side of the team, Jones and Laura could no longer suppress their excitement and almost rushed towards the mysterious building.
The excitement was like Copernicus discovering the New World and Columbus overturning the geocentric theory!
“It’s really strange why someone would build a pyramid underground.”
He always felt that this scene seemed familiar, as if he had seen it in some movie. Generally speaking, every time he felt this way, nothing good would happen.
"Have you noticed that this pyramid looks a bit short?" Annabeth was shocked and also raised her doubts.
Normal pyramids are at least over a hundred meters high, but the one in front of them seemed to be only a dozen stories high, with a maximum height of no more than fifty meters.
"This is the Nubian pyramid."
Professor Jones, who was taking pictures in front of the tower, explained: "Compared with ordinary Egyptian pyramids, its slope is very steep, and its height is about forty or fifty meters. Originally, this kind of pyramid was only found in Africa, but I didn't expect it to be found here. It’s incredible to see it.”
He stroked the damp bricks on the pyramid, then shook his head and said: "Unfortunately, the corrosion on the outer layer is a bit serious. I don't know how well the cultural relics inside are preserved."
As an adventurer who has spent his whole life exploring and hunting for treasures, he has entered the pyramid many times. He is sure that there must be many cultural relics of the ancients preserved in it.
Cultural relics left by Christians more than a thousand years ago.
He was trembling with excitement, imagining what kind of sensation these cultural relics would cause once they were made public to the world.
Looking at the old man's excitement, Lange couldn't help but laugh, and then turned his attention to the stone door in the center of the pyramid.
The stone door is carved with twisted and complex ancient English, which looks extremely mysterious.
"Come here and take a look, what's written on it." Lango greeted Jones and Laura, who were exploring around. The curator was not here, so they were the only two professionals here.
Professor Jones picked up the magnifying glass, studied it carefully, and then pondered: "The text above translates to 'the treasure is inside', but what this treasure refers to is not written out."
"."
Lange couldn't help but his eyes widened after hearing this. He pointed to the densely packed characters on the door and said speechlessly: "Although I dropped out of college, I still studied at UCLA for one semester. Tell me now. There are hundreds of characters here, but only four words?"
"That's right!"
Professor Jones heard this and explained patiently: "The first section mainly describes the meaning of gold or treasures, and the latter section talks about how they put all the things inside. Don't they mean 'treasure is in'" Guilty?"
Laura also echoed: "Lango, don't doubt Professor Jones's research on ancient Chinese."
After hearing what they said, Lange said with a smile: "I really don't believe that someone would write something in front of the pyramid that includes bullshit treasures. Isn't this a clear indication that others can go in and steal it?"
Then, without waiting for the two people to refute, he waved his hand and said: "Stop trying to fool me, quickly find a way to open the door, go in and take a look at what it is, and then leave after seeing it."
"Okay, okay, let's go after reading this!"
Upon hearing this, Professor Jones immediately became energetic and began to carefully search the surrounding institutions.
He knew the structure of the Nubian pyramids well, and soon found a clue in a hidden location - a seemingly ordinary mud brick, and when he pulled it out gently, a stone chain was revealed.
Then he didn't wait for anyone to say anything and pulled hard without hesitation.
With a roar, the heavy stone door slowly rose, revealing a deep passage.
"It's broken Lango." Teddy suddenly frowned and said, "I suddenly have an ominous premonition!"
"Then it's too late for your premonition." Lange rolled his eyes helplessly.
At this time, the doors had all been opened, and Jones and the others walked in cautiously with the light from the pumpkin head without asking Rango.
Lango turned to look at Mavis over his shoulder, with a serious tone in his tone: "According to my luck, I estimate that there is a high probability that there will be some danger inside. Why don't you wait outside first?" What? No!" Mavis shook her head immediately, and then said excitedly: "This is the magical adventure I dream about every day in the hotel, how can you leave me behind!"
As she said that, the girl grabbed Lango's shoulders with her claws, but she was afraid of hurting him, so she grabbed his clothes instead.
Rango smiled helplessly when he saw this, and then looked at Annabeth and the two of them, "What about you."
After they looked at each other, they all expressed that they wanted to go in and have a look together. As descendants of the gods, having an adventure of their own is often something that can only be met but not expected, and they did not want to miss it easily.
"OK, in that case, let's go in."
After saying that, Lange took the lead and walked in front of them, but he stepped back after just a few steps.
Then under their admiring eyes, Lange picked up stones and stacked them under the stone door.
"Just in case, it's better for us to leave some escape route."
It was very different from everyone's expectations when they stepped into the pyramid. Its internal space was far more vast and towering than they imagined, like a hidden underground palace
It was surrounded by densely carved ancient English. Although I didn't know what it meant, but It feels extremely mysterious.
After passing through a long corridor, a dusty stone door suddenly opened.
What appeared before them was a church covered in the dust of time.
The furnishings inside are extremely simple, the wooden tables and chairs have long been decayed, and the surrounding murals are also blurry. Only the relief of the cross in the center and the altar below, its solemn outline can be vaguely seen in the dimness, reminding everyone of the past here. identity.
However, what is even more creepy is that there are several dead bones scattered in the surrounding corners.
"Church in the Pyramid"
Lango frowned. If this was really the plot of a movie, then he was sure that he had never seen it.
After all, this scene is a bit too pissy, and once you see it, you will never forget it.
Professor Jones and others were shocked speechless by the scene in front of them, and they were busy recording and taking photos.
Lango, on the other hand, maintained a high degree of vigilance, always paying attention to possible dangers lurking around him.
At this moment, Teddy suddenly ran over and tugged on his trousers, winking. Lango looked at his eyes and immediately followed him pretending to be casual.
This guy took him under the cross and in front of the altar where the Vatican specially used to pray and say Mass.
He whispered excitedly: "Look what I found!"
As he spoke, Teddy wiped the dust in front of the altar with his furry palms. When he saw what was underneath, Lango's eyes suddenly lit up.
This thing is actually made of gold!
Lango raised his hand and put it down with excitement, and then his eyes changed slightly.
When the system came into contact with this thing, the progress bar was growing slowly. Although it was very slow, it was indeed growing.
Is there extraordinary power attached to it?
Lango suddenly thought of something, and he was shocked. He immediately took out a Colt revolver from his waist, held it in his palm and felt it.
He was overjoyed at the conclusion he reached.
The power attached to this altar is the same as the power on the bullet. It is what Amos calls the divine power of faith!
He looked at the mass altar in front of him in surprise, which was three to four meters long and more than one meter high, and couldn't help but swallow.
How many bullets can this thing make? !
"Teddy. We are rich!"
"Of course, if this thing is sold, it will be worth several million at least!"
"Sell it? It's almost enough if I sell it to you."
Lange joked, having already made up his mind to take this golden altar out. With this thing, he would be able to suppress Lucifer with firepower in the future.
"Rango——"
At this moment, Mavis, who had been flapping her wings and searching around curiously, suddenly called out.
Lango heard the sound and saw Mavis gently tapping the dusty ceiling with her wings, beckoning him to look up.
"Do you see what the lines on it are, scratches?"
Lange looked along, and sure enough, under the cover of dust, shocking scratches suddenly appeared. They were densely packed, like the marks carved by countless sharp blades, which made people shudder.
Jones and others who had been around also discovered the same thing at this time. They pointed at the surrounding walls and said in shock: "There must have been a battle here! There are traces of corrosion, knife marks and sword marks. What are the believers here?" What have you experienced?”
Laura frowned, put her hand on her chin, and whispered thoughtfully: "No wonder the door said there was a demon sealed inside. Looking at this situation, those believers had a battle with this demon more than a thousand years ago."
"But looking at the appearance inside the pyramid, it's obvious that the demon has not been completely sealed."
Even Victor, who had been silent all this time, was surprised: "More than a thousand years ago, that was the time when God showed up most frequently. How could these believers not be able to seal a demon, but instead be forced to kill it?" Is he imprisoned in this pyramid?"
On the other side, Lango was too lazy to listen to their discussion anymore. Anyway, he had gotten what he wanted most this time.
"I know you guys don't have any good intentions, and you still say 'the treasure is inside', huh."
Lango snorted coldly, then used the characteristics of [Dragon Body], and prepared to pick up the golden altar and take it out, "I took a fancy to this thing first. You guys can chat slowly, I'll leave first."
Immediately, the muscles of his arms tensed up, preparing to lift the altar in one fell swoop.
suddenly!
Just when Lange was about to lift the golden altar off the ground, there was a deafening roar all around, as if a giant beast sleeping underground was awakened.
Immediately afterwards, the stone slabs under their feet collapsed without warning and turned into countless fragments. Everyone instantly lost their balance and fell downwards!
At this critical moment, Mavis showed amazing agility and strength.
She grabbed Lango's collar with quick eyes and hands, and flapped her wings vigorously in the air, hovering Lango in mid-air together with the heavy gold altar.
Then, Toothless followed closely behind. Although his reaction was slightly slower, he soared into the air from below with his strong wings. In addition to Teddy on his head, he also held Annabeth and Teddy tightly in his mouth. Sen.
"What should I do? Are we going down?" Although she was carrying a huge weight, Mavis didn't feel any difficulty at all and asked anxiously.
Lange listened to the sound of water below, thought for a moment, and nodded: "Go down, it should be fine."
It didn't take a while.
Lange fell to the bottom. It turned out to be a deep and vast cave space. The surrounding rock walls were moist and exuded an ancient and mysterious atmosphere.
Professor Jones and others unfortunately fell into a lake at the bottom of the cave, causing splashes of water.
But at this moment, Lange had no time to care about others. His eyes were firmly attracted by a huge figure in front of him, his pupils shrank suddenly, and he felt unprecedented shock and consternation in his heart.
"The church's seal works, but it's a monster!" Lange murmured to himself, his tone full of disbelief, "So the believers are not dealing with demons, but the damn Alien Queen?!"
