Chapter 164 Slate and Cat Statue

fly over...

These three words fell into everyone's ears and exploded like cannonballs.

Yes, the width of the sand is only three kilometers. The stone slab is in the middle, which is 1500 meters. If you can fly, this distance is nothing. But people can't fly.

But wizards will.

Tom turned into a phoenix in everyone's eyes, raising his tail. Hermione stepped aside and motioned for the others to grab Tom's tail feathers as well.

"Fuck?" Allen couldn't hold back, and exclaimed, just now Tom turned from a human into a big golden-red bird in front of his eyes, which is really magical!

"Is this a phoenix?" Dr. Hunter showed a shocked expression. He didn't expect to see this legendary creature with his own eyes in his lifetime. Suddenly realized that since Tom can become a phoenix, can he also become that kind of giant dog? It turned out that the giant dog that saved him in the sandstorm was Tom himself?

"Don't make a fuss, Tom can change a lot." Hermione shook her head, tied her hair back, and put one hand on Tom's tail feathers. The others followed suit and put their hands on Tom's tail. on the tail.

But after three people were hung on the tail, Tom threw away the rest of the people who wanted to "get on the bus". He gave them a look: Do you think I am a transport plane? Hanging up one by one, how can I hold on, the phoenix also has a limit!

Tom left Alyosha, Sara, and Yushadu in place, and flew directly into the sky with the remaining three. After two back and forth, Tom brought everyone to the stone slab in the middle of the sand.

Sure enough, as they had guessed at the beginning, there was only a shallow layer of sand around the stone slab, and the solid ground was under the sand. This layer of sand, less than a foot thick, is more like dust accumulated over time.

Tom turned back to the original after putting down the man on the tail.

Dozens of floor tiles protruding from the ground are painted on the slate. Tom counted seven rows across and seven columns vertically, a total of 49 floor tiles. Each floor tile was a square of one meter square, with a cat carved on it. There was a groove in the middle of the stone slab, as if something was missing. thing.

"This cat..." Hermione exclaimed as soon as she saw the figure: she had seen this cat before, and it was the cat drawn on the four clues they found!

Everyone looked at the grid on the ground, thoughtful. Tom stretched out his foot, and lightly stepped on the grid in front of him. With a harsh friction sound, the floor tile sank in.

"Dr. Hunter, let's take out the four pieces of clues we collected." Looking at the cat image in the grid that is exactly the same as the clues, combined with the fact that the grid will sink, Tom has a guess.

The doctor understood, drew a 7×7 square sketch on the ground, and copied the content on the clue.

Four pieces of clues, each with twelve grids, combine to form a forty-nine grid with one grid missing. The splicing method is naturally combined according to the direction of the eyes of the cat image on the clues: the clue with the eyes facing the lower left is placed at the lower left, and the clue with the eyes facing the upper right is placed at the upper right.

After assembling the clues, Dr. Hunter compared them and found that the position of the groove on the slate corresponds to the missing grid on the clues he put together.

"So that's it!" He was overjoyed, it turned out that these four pieces of clues were used here! However, he was lost in thought again: Among these grids, should the grid corresponding to the white cat on a black background be stepped on, or the black cat on a white background should be stepped on?

He looked at the floor tile that Tom stepped on, and saw that the floor tile was shrouded in shadows because it was shorter than the surrounding bricks, making it appear darker. In addition, it happened to be a grid corresponding to a white cat on a black background, so Heng Dr. Te made a bold guess: step on all the grids with black backgrounds on the clues.

Now that you have an idea, put it into action.

He and Tom stepped over one by one according to the records on the clues. When they stood in front of the extra grid, the last black background grid in the clue had also been stepped down. But the slate did not change a bit.

"I guessed it wrong?" Dr. Hunter was startled, he was already thinking about how to restore the stone slab.

"I can't come to a conclusion yet," Tom looked at the groove on the ground, "I think there should be something here, such as a statue." Dr. Hunter looked down, and the appearance of that floor tile was indeed a bit weird. There are images of cats all over the floor tiles, it's just a groove, and it's literally yelling at them to put something in the groove.

"What could it be..." Dr. Hunter was worried for a while. He thought it might be the three-dimensional statue of the cat on the floor tiles. He looked at the shape of the groove—it really looked like a cat squatting on the ground, but he went Where can one find such a statue?

He also tried his luck in the ancient city, Dr. Hunter thought so, he has decided that if he can find the cat statue, he will continue this adventure, if he can't find it, he can only collect camels and leave the Sahara Desert.

When Tom saw the groove, he screamed in his heart: What the hell? ! He has only one thought now: no way? Couldn't this groove be for the statue? !

He immediately signaled Hermione to open his backpack, and found the ancestral cat statue that the Nubian uncle "loaned" to him. This statue cost Hermione a full hundred thousand Egyptian pounds!

When the statue was taken out, everyone's eyes were straightened: the statue looked exactly like the cat carved on the brick!

When Hermione was about to send the statue to Tom, Alyosha stopped her.

"Is it really good to put this statue in hastily? How can you be sure that ~lightnovelpub.net~ this stone slab is a treasure or something good? I think it may be an ancient curse or some kind of sealed monster " Alyosha scratched his cheek, "The greedy adventurer unleashed an ancient curse...It's always like that in movies, isn't it?"

Hermione thought for a while, "The information that Uncle Hunter found before said that the clue is the key to enter the city. I think that after the pattern on the slate is deciphered, we can find the legendary ancient city. As for what is in the ancient city?" , I don’t dare to guarantee it... But I speculate that the stone slab will not bring any danger.”

Tom nodded, but his thinking was much simpler: he intuitively thought it would be fine. What's more, he got this statue from the Nubian night market, which matches the ancient poem.

Alyosha thought for a moment, and got out of the way.

Hermione gave the cat statue to Tom, who put it in the groove. After thousands of years, the statue and the groove are still able to fit together perfectly, without any trace of splicing, as if such a statue was originally carved on the floor tiles.

After the statue was put in, the slate reacted.
