Struggle in the Steam Age

Chapter 186: Channel and mummy

According to the knowledge stored in the book charm, in the pyramid of the ancient Nile civilization, the gate located on the main corridor in the pyramid was prepared for the gods and senior clergy. According to the personality of the earliest builder and owner of this pyramid, Habit, it can be inferred that this door cannot be opened at all before it reaches the hero level.

Lawrence is not the kind of stubborn guy, so after hearing Shumei's proposal to him and carefully judging the situation he is facing now, he quickly gave up his plan to open the door in front of him. However, he also found some traces on the ground near this door. It seemed that the people in the **** sky were strong enough that they should have entered directly from the front door.

After simply searching around, Lawrence found a secret revolving door by identifying the hieroglyphs on the wall in a place not far from the door that looked like a utility room. Behind the revolving door is a hidden passage for the servants.

This kind of secret passage is much smaller than the previous main corridor, and the passage used as servants is naturally at the bottom of the priority in the construction. Therefore, when Lawrence was traveling in this passage, he found that the passage was left and right, up and down suddenly, and sometimes he had to bend down or even crawl through some small caves. After all, this passage has to make way for basically all other passages in the entire pyramid, so it sometimes seems very useful.

Fortunately, Lawrence was able to detect himself by summoning the Fire Bee and Stinger Hummingbird one after another, so even in such a passage, he could see the road ahead and maintain a certain speed.

There are several rooms on the side of this road that seem to be slightly crude. Lawrence took the book charm and chose a room and walked in. As a result, he saw some earthenware urns on the floor against the wall. Several wooden boards were nailed to the top as a shelf, and some dark things were placed on the top.

"If I didn't perceive it wrong, there should be some bread with a lot of honey that was left on the shelf for so long that it was carbonized. And those urns are mainly some wine that has completely dried up." Make sure there is no danger in this house. Later, Shumei quickly floated in and stretched out her tentacles to sense these things.

"That is to say, it is very likely that the tribute that was dedicated to the gods was put in it." After listening to Shumei's words, Lawrence made a rough judgment. After all, both the honey-added bread and wine were obviously enjoyed by the upper class in that era, and the most reasonable explanation for this place is that this is a warehouse for storing sacrifices.

The other rooms are similar, with linens that have been turned into ashes or other sacrifices. Lawrence did not find the servants' dormitory here, which means that there is a high probability that servants were only allowed to enter the pyramid to serve in the past, but they were not allowed to live here because of their low status.

This is not good news, because if the owner of the pyramid really values ​​identity. Then the possibility that servants can be allowed to enter the core area of ​​the pyramid is very small. In other words, this road is likely to end in some kind of barrier.

Ten minutes after entering this servant passage, the stinger hummingbird who was exploring the way in front found that the road had come to an end, and at the end of the road that appeared, behind another revolving door was a utility room like the entrance. .

Following the main entrance of the utility room, Lawrence found himself back on the main corridor inside the pyramid. Followed the main corridor for less than 20 meters. A space about the size of an ordinary living room appeared in front of him.

This space is surrounded by flat walls, floors and ceilings made of stone. The only difference from the main corridor is that there are no pictures around this room, which looks bare.

On the wall facing the main corridor is a stone gate, and on the ground three to four meters from the front of the stone gate, a stone platform reaching the height of a person's waist was placed there.

"This seems to be an altar." After walking to the stone platform and looking at it, Lawrence used the hieroglyphs on the side of the stone platform to judge what this thing was. At the same time, the poems composed of these words also let Lawrence know how to open the door in front of him.

It may be because of the self-confidence of the gods, there are no magic traps here. Even the way to open the door is too simple: just make sacrifices, and the door in front of you will naturally open after receiving enough sacrifices.

However, when Lawrence approached this altar, the extraordinary perceptual ability given to him by the blood of Bai Ze made him smell a little bit of extremely faint **** smell. However, in the ancient Nile culture, sacrifices to the river **** and the **** of fertility, Habi, did not require anything related to blood. Reminiscing that Scarlet Sky had entered here before, he cautiously released an [Appraisal Technique] to the altar in front of him.

[The altar of Habib, after the sacrifice can open the door to the core area of ​​the pyramid. But this altar has been modified by members of Scarlet Sky. Only the power related to sacrifice and blood, darkness, or death can open the door in front of it. If sacrifices of other powers are used, the power behind the gate will trigger a counterattack. 】

"It's treacherous." Lawrence murmured after seeing the feedback, because the whole road from the entrance to here was very normal, without any traps. Therefore, ordinary people may relax their vigilance when they come here, and choose to sacrifice according to the method of offering to the **** Habib. And then they will fall into the trap of the **** sky.

"This sacrifice requirement-I seem to have a sacrifice that meets this requirement." Thinking of this, Lawrence opened his space pocket and looked for it. Soon he found a dozen or so from a lead box in his pocket. Blocks of black translucent crystals of various sizes.

"I remember I took this with me." Lawrence whispered after seeing these enchanted coal spirits brought out of the coal mine last time. "Otherwise, things that don't match my attributes are still a bit difficult for me to find."

After speaking, he took a step forward and placed the enchanted coal essence in his hand on the altar, in order to avoid insufficient sacrifices and waste. Lawrence simply put the box of enchanted coal essence on the altar, and then sent some magic power into the altar. In an instant, a golden flame ignited on the altar, and those enchanted coal spirits melted like ice and snow on the flame.

Lawrence, who knew the situation in advance, quickly sensed the cold power contained in the seemingly sacred golden flame in front of him. Fortunately, this cold force was perfectly integrated into the golden after being adjusted by the members of the **** sky. In the flames, so when only 1/5 of the enchanted coal essence on the altar was consumed, the door in front of him opened.

It was a pity to glance at the enchanted coal spirits still burning in the golden flame~lightnovelpub.net~ Lawrence turned and walked into the stone door that opened in front of him.

After entering the stone gate, there is another passage, but this time around every ten meters on both ends of the passage, there are a pair of jackal mummies with spears and bandages on their bodies. When Lawrence stepped inside the door, all these mummies came alive and turned their heads to Lawrence.

"This is terrible." The book charm who wanted to show that he was loyal to the front immediately hid behind Lawrence. At the same time, Lawrence found that its misty body was flashing rapidly, and it seemed to be Trembling.

"Then you go to the space bag and hide first!" Lawrence said with one hand, unlocking the opening of the space bag around his waist, while the other hand was raised up to face the nearest mummy and released 【Breaking the Undead ] This magic.

According to his idea, this magic is only suitable for testing the strength of the mummies on the opposite side. But what he didn't expect was that after the pale ray hit the mummy, the mummy stopped directly, and at the same time green flames emitted from the gap in the bandage.

"This is?" Seeing the mummy in front of him burned into a pile of ashes within a few seconds, Lawrence showed a puzzled look on his face.
