Chapter 330 Sarcophagus

The light emitted by the glow stick is somewhat weak.

However, it can somewhat illuminate the dark environment of the pyramid.

In particular, this kind of military equipment has long-lasting durability. Although it is a disposable product, its luminous time can last for nearly six or seven hours.

It can best deal with the next actions of Chang Emil and others.

Reaching out and taking a fluorescent stick from the mercenary's hand, Chang Emil relied on the faint light and touched the wall of the pyramid corridor to barely see the patterns carved on it.

It can be seen that the pyramid seems to be very old, and the patterns on the walls are very blurry. However, through these blurry patterns, Chang Emil can still vaguely see some unusual places. There are many carvings on the walls, both Not characters, scenery or buildings, but some weird and twisted creatures.

"What is this?"

Coming closer, the mercenary leader looked at the patterns carved on the walls of the pyramid and couldn't help but frown.

"I don't know." Chang Emil shook his head and showed a puzzled expression on his face. He looked back at a suspected insect-like pattern on the wall: "I am not a professional archaeologist. The age of the mural is too old. It is simply Judging from the style, it is likely to have existed thousands of years ago or even earlier. What is recorded on it may be things that happened thousands of years ago, or it may simply be the imagination of the people who built the pyramids.”

"Thousands of years ago, that's a long time."

The mercenary leader is not an archaeologist, so he doesn't have much resonance with what Chang Emil speculated.

After listening to the inferences made by the former Wakanda philosopher, he sighed, but then set his eyes on the other end of the corridor, deep into the connected pyramid.

The range illuminated by the fluorescent sticks in their hands is limited, and any further distance will be covered by the darkness in the pyramid again.

Chang Emil opened his cloudy eyes and looked at the other end of the pyramid. The end of the corridor was engulfed in deep darkness, and the air seemed to have a smell of corruption lingering on the tip of his nose.

The whole environment gives people a cold feeling.

Everything in the pyramid seems weird and mysterious. However, Chang Emil and others who broke into it obviously will not be deterred by this.

Using the weak fluorescence in their hands, everyone cautiously continued to go deeper.

Inadvertently, Chang Emil's fingertips traced the wall of the pyramid, and a cold touch that seemed to freeze his fingers flashed across his fingertips instantly, causing him to stop involuntarily.

"Why stop?!"

Noticing Chang Emil's paused pace, the mercenary leader walking behind him immediately asked.

"nothing."

Calmly retracting his fingers, Chang Emil glanced sideways at the picture on the wall beside him. His eyes stopped for a moment on the insect pattern, but he immediately answered.

"Just don't cause any trouble to me."

After hearing Chang Emil's answer, the mercenary leader cursed with dissatisfaction and raised his hand to rub his arm.

The corridor inside the pyramid is very long, but there are no branch roads.

The heavy footsteps of Chang Emil and the mercenaries were amplified by the empty corridor. The sweat they had just trudged in the hot desert had completely cooled down, and the wet underwear and coats clung to their bodies. They felt a chill when they walked.

After turning several corners in a row, everyone felt the chill on their bodies getting heavier with each turn. After passing another turn, a huge stone gate appeared, blocking their passage.

Raising the fluorescent stick in his hand, Chang Emil aimed at the door. He saw that the mysterious characters and patterns carved on the door were more dense than those on the walls of the pyramid corridor. Chang Emil raised his neck slightly, and then noticed Those characters and patterns converged to form a weird six-legged insect-like shape, occupying the center of the door.

I don’t know why, but when I saw the pattern on the door,

A huge palpitation suddenly appeared in the hearts of Chang Emil and others, as if there was something terrifying hidden behind the door, watching them calmly.

"Gulu~"

Under the inexplicable feeling of terror, the mercenary leader standing next to Chang Emil swallowed a mouthful of saliva subconsciously.

The saliva is deep in the pyramid of silence, but it seems particularly clear.

Reluctantly suppressing the inexplicable feeling in his heart, Chang Emil and the mercenary leader, who were standing in front of the gate, looked at each other silently, and then they reached out and placed their hands on the huge stone gate in front of them.

Click——

Originally, the two of them thought that it would not be easy to push such a huge stone door, and it was even impossible for them to move the door alone. The mercenary leader also had plans to call his accomplices behind him to come forward.

However, just touching the door, the strange pattern on the door suddenly emitted a blue light, and the next moment there was a dull sound of the mechanism being touched. The ancient stone door shaft made a tooth-grinding sound as it slowly opened. At the same time, an aura of corruption that was even stronger than that in the corridor hit the face, along with a darkness as thick as substance.

Even the light sticks in the hands of Chang Emil and the others seemed to dim suddenly for a moment.

"..."

Looking at the darkness behind the door, I couldn't see anything inside.

The greed in the mercenary leader's heart that was originally blinded by treasures and vibranium channels suddenly sobered up a little, and was replaced by the slightest intention to retreat.

Everything that happened in the pyramid was obviously beyond his imagination, especially what happened in front of him.

However, before he could make a decision, Chang Emil, who was standing next to him, had already walked into the stone door without hesitation.

"Boss..."

Looking at Chang Emil's back covered by darkness, the mercenary standing behind subconsciously reminded him.

The mercenary leader looked back at the members of his team, then turned to look behind Shimen.

Finally, what Chang Emil had promised reappeared in his mind, and he remembered the huge wealth that Ulysses Klaw had gained after receiving the vibranium.

The fear in his heart was suppressed by greed, and he gritted his teeth and walked through the door.

…

Behind the stone door was an empty room. Due to the darkness, it was difficult for the mercenary leader to see clearly how big the room was. Using the weak light from the fluorescent stick in his hand, he could vaguely see some fallen stone pillars at the edge of the space. Following the light, the mercenary leader quickly found Chang Emil who walked in first.

The old black man stood in the center of the room, seemingly looking down at something.

Following the light source, the mercenary leader came to Chang Emil.

He immediately noticed that what he was looking at was a huge sarcophagus.

This sarcophagus is very huge, and the surface of the sarcophagus is carved with a pattern similar to the stone door. Looking directly at this pattern, a huge feeling of depression once again appeared in the heart of the mercenary leader.

Subconsciously removing his eyes, the mercenary leader glanced at everything in the room with a stiff expression. Although the space in the room was huge, the things placed there were surprisingly sparse. Under the light of the fluorescent stick in his hand, except for Apart from the sarcophagus in front of him, he saw no other conspicuous things.

Naturally, there is no so-called treasure that they have been thinking about before.

"Boss, there's nothing."

Immediately afterwards, the mercenary teams searching the room also made reports with disappointed faces.

Hearing the team's report, the mercenary leader breathed a sigh of relief, not knowing whether it was regret or luck. He turned his eyes to look at Chang Emil, who had been staring at the sarcophagus motionlessly since just now.

"Old man, it seems that there is nothing useful in this pyramid. In that case, let's go."

As he said that, the mercenary leader subconsciously glanced at the sarcophagus on the side. In fact, he did not tell the truth. Although they did not find anything in the room, there was still a sarcophagus in front of them that had not been opened.

However, looking at the huge sarcophagus in front of him, the mercenary leader's inner voice kept issuing warnings, as if something terrible would happen if he opened the sarcophagus.

Under the inner warning, the mercenary leader actively ignored the sarcophagus.

"There are no gaps."

However, in the face of the urging of the mercenary leader, Chang Emil still maintained his motionless posture, looked at the huge sarcophagus in front of him, and spoke slowly.

"What?"

Hearing Chang Emil's vague voice, the mercenary leader subconsciously asked.

"I mean, this sarcophagus doesn't have any gaps."

Slowly turning his head, Chang Emil looked at the white mercenary on the side, pointed at the sarcophagus in front of him, and said softly.

Following Emir Chang's words, the mercenary leader looked at the sarcophagus in front of him. Under the reminder of the old black man, he immediately noticed the weirdness of the sarcophagus in front of him.

Under the illumination of the fluorescent rod, it can be clearly seen that there are no joints or gaps around the sarcophagus in front of you, as if the entire sarcophagus is integrated.

"Maybe the gap is at the bottom, somewhere we can't see."

After staring at the sarcophagus for a while, the feeling of depression in his heart emerged again. The mercenary leader quickly looked away and forced himself to explain.

"Then, who has the power to cover this sarcophagus?"

Emil Chang obviously did not agree with what the mercenary leader said.

"I don't care how he did it." Faced with Chang Emil's doubts, the mercenary leader's suppressed emotions burst out instantly. He reached out and roughly pulled Chang Emil's arm, and said harshly: "In short, , I have brought you into the pyramid as you requested, and now you have seen the things inside. Now just obey my words and get out of here, and then give you what you promised before..."

"Boss..."

Before the mercenary leader finished speaking, the mercenary standing behind him suddenly spoke and interrupted his next words in a panicked voice.

"what happened?!"

Hearing the call of the team, the mercenary leader's emotions were slightly suppressed. He turned back to look at his accomplices behind him, only to see them all pointing behind him with fearful expressions.

"...Behind you, sarcophagus, sarcophagus!"

The appearance of the team members made the expression on the mercenary leader's face freeze instantly.

He knew the character of the team members very well. As mercenaries with rich combat experience and a lot of blood on their hands, it was impossible for them to show such fear unless they encountered an unexpected situation.

Following the direction pointed by the team members, the mercenary leader turned his stiff neck and looked behind him.

I saw that above the sarcophagus, thick black mist was slowly rising.

It was clearly a dark fog, but it seemed to be made even darker by the surrounding darkness.

The speed of the black mist rising seemed slow, but it filled the entire room in just a few seconds. Being swept by this thick black mist, the mercenary leader seemed to feel that his soul was frozen in an instant, and his entire body was completely frozen. The body was as if it were an insect solidified in amber, unable to move at all.

As the thick fog continued to emerge, a blurry face seemed to begin to emerge from the black fog, and then sharp laughter began to clearly echo in everyone's minds.

Amidst the laughter, a sudden sleepiness began to hit them.

The constant vigilance told the mercenary leader that it was definitely not a good thing to sleep at this time. However, this sleepiness was extremely strong. Even if he tried all his strength, he could not resist it. The falling sounds that kept ringing in his ears showed that behind him Regarding the situation of the team members, the next moment the mercenary leader felt that his palm was empty, and then the Chang Emil in his hand also fell down.

As the last person around him fell, the consciousness that the mercenary leader had been insisting on became blurred. He held his eyes with difficulty. The picture he saw at the last moment of consciousness was the condensed black mist on the sarcophagus. It is a humanoid figure wearing a robe.

…

On the barren, dark land that seems to be the end, there is no sign of any life in [Vertex].

The mercenary leader opened his eyes, shook his head, looked down at his palms, and noticed that his palms were so transparent that they seemed to have no color at all.

"This is?!"

"You're awake, no, our current situation seems like it shouldn't be described as waking up..."

In surprise, Chang Emil's always calm voice came from behind him.

Looking along the position of the sound, the mercenary leader immediately looked at Chang Emil and everyone in the mercenary team standing behind him.

However, their situation at the moment is a bit weird. Although they can see their appearance clearly, their bodies seem to be several times more transparent. You can even see the scene behind them through their bodies.

"What happened, and where are we now?"

Seeing the appearance of Emir Chang, the mercenary leader subconsciously shouted out his inner doubts.

Everything that happened in front of him was too shocking, and he couldn't help acting like this.

"It's you. You were the one who was looking for this pyramid before. You must know something?"

Recalling the previous behavior of Emir Chang towards the pyramid, the mercenary leader looked angry.
