Chapter 1717 Risking death to open coffin

"By the way, what happened to the illusion just now?" Joseph asked curiously to Xu Shaotang: "Do you know how this illusion came into being? Why did we fall into the illusion without knowing it?"

"I don't know the specifics." Xu Shaotang shook his head slightly, and said, "But I guess, it should be because there are substances that can cause hallucinations in those oil lamps, or there are substances that are prone to hallucinations somewhere else. Coupled with the high tension of everyone's spirit, this is the way to go."

"Is that so?" Joseph thought for a while, and said with a wry smile, "It seems that every step of the way is really dangerous!"

In a terrifying illusion, the supernatural beings and the Knights of the Round Table once again saw the danger here.

At the same time, they were also grateful to Xu Shaotang in their hearts. If Xu Shaotang hadn't seen through this illusion, I'm afraid they would have been wiped out here.

If it is said that everyone didn't dare to act presumptuously in front of Xu Shaotang at the beginning because they were in awe of Xu Shaotang's strength, now they are really in awe of Xu Shaotang. A person who saved all of their lives is certainly worth it. They are in awe.

After resting for a while, the people who escaped from the illusion gradually recovered.

Seeing that everyone has almost recovered, Xu Shaotang smiled and said: "Let's go, move on, let's see what else is waiting for us inside!"

Seeing Xu Shaotang's nonchalant look, Joseph couldn't help stretching out his thumb and said, "You are so calm! You can still laugh at this time."

Xu Shaotang shrugged and said: "Why can't you laugh? Are you unhappy? The more dangers here, the more the owner of this pyramid attaches great importance to this place. If there is no accident, this should be the place where the real tomb is! "

Joseph thought for a while, nodded and said, "That's the truth!"

"So, we should be happy!" Xu Shaotang smiled slightly: "The sooner we find what we are looking for, the sooner we can leave this ghost place!"

After speaking, Xu Shaotang walked slowly inside.

After climbing the stairs, there is a palace made of huge stones.

Compared with the Mausoleum of the First Emperor, the appearance of this palace may be much inferior, but when you walk in, you will find that the level of luxury inside the palace is not necessarily inferior to that of the Mausoleum of the First Emperor.

Resplendent as ever, the stone walls around the palace are full of colorful murals. These murals are similar to the murals they saw at the place where the golden coffin was, but these murals are obviously more detailed. When they walk along these murals Until the end, a golden box appeared on the mural.

From the murals, it can be clearly seen that the box has a pair of wings gathered towards the middle of the box. The box is covered with two golden sticks on the rings at the four corners, and beside the box, a group of people are worshiping devoutly.

"ark of the covenant!"

Joseph's eyes instantly became extremely bright, and he said with a slightly trembling voice: "This is the Ark of the Covenant! Yes, the Ark of the Covenant should be here!"

"Is this the Ark of the Covenant?" Xu Shaotang touched his chin, looked at the Ark of the Covenant on the mural with great interest, and said slowly: "This looks like an ordinary golden cabinet, except for the pair of wings. Apart from the shape, there doesn’t seem to be anything special about it, right?”

To be honest, he really didn't see how this cabinet looked like a sacred object with terrifying power in legends, and what kind of terrifying power could such a small cabinet have?

Hearing Xu Shaotang's words, Joseph said slowly: "None of us has ever seen the real Ark of the Covenant. Maybe we will know whether the records in those ancient books are true or not only when we find it."

Xu Shaotang nodded slightly and said: "Well, it doesn't matter whether he is true or not, we will talk about it after we find it!"

Everyone nodded. It was already at this time. They must find the legendary Ark of the Covenant for everything, even if they just took a look at it.

At the end of the mural, another golden coffin appeared in front of them.

Different from the coffins of the Xia Kingdom, these coffins abroad are all boxy in appearance. This golden coffin is much smaller than the one outside. It is about two meters in length and about one meter in width. Around the golden coffin, there are densely carved characters, probably some kind of curse.

"Does anyone know these words?" Xu Shaotang asked, looking around at the crowd.

He knew that Joseph and the others had come prepared, and some of them should know these ancient texts.

"Kevin, take a look!" Joseph looked at a tall and thin middle-aged man, pointed to the densely packed writing on the golden coffin and said, "Look at what's written on it?"

Kevin nodded, walked quickly to the golden coffin, took out a magnifying glass from his body, and looked at the words on it bit by bit.

"What do the words on it mean?" Xu Shaotang hurriedly asked Kevin.

"Hymns and curses!"

Kevin put away the magnifying glass in his hand, and slowly raised his head, with a strong look of doubt on his face.

"Hymn?" Xu Shaotang was slightly taken aback, and asked, "Is it praising the great achievements of Pharaoh?"

"No!" Kevin said: "It is to praise the gods in their hearts! The gods endowed them with great power and taught them to use advanced equipment. They believe that the pharaoh will be resurrected one day, and the gods will take them to the land of bliss .”

"What a mess!"

Hearing what Kevin said, Xu Shaotang couldn't help complaining, and asked, "What is the curse?"

"Anyone who disturbs the pharaoh's sleep will be punished by the pharaoh!" Kevin said with a frown, "The pharaoh's anger will burn the intruders to ashes!"

"If you want to be punished, you will have already been punished!"

Xu Shaotang didn't care about these so-called curses at all. Anyway, they had already reached this point, and there was no turning back when they opened their bows. No matter whether the pharaoh's curse was true or not, they had decided to open the pharaoh's coffin!

"Old Ninth, now is the time for you to go out!"

After confirming the meaning of the words on the golden coffin, Xu Shaotang smiled and said to Lao Jiu.

Lao Jiu nodded, and walked slowly in front of the golden coffin, first looked around the golden coffin carefully for a while, and finally locked his eyes on the golden coffin.

"I don't see a problem!"

After a while, Lao Jiu shook his head helplessly at Xu Shaotang and said: "This golden coffin looks much simpler than the one outside, but judging from the situation we entered here, this golden coffin is definitely not simple. What you can't see is more dangerous."

Xu Shaotang thought for a while, looked at Joseph and Milo and said, "Do you think this golden coffin should be opened or not?"

"Open! It must be opened!" The two said firmly without any hesitation.

"I'm waiting for your words!"

Xu Shaotang was overjoyed in his heart, but said calmly, "Okay, I will leave the task of opening the golden coffin to you!"

Hearing Xu Shaotang's words, Milo and Joseph froze for a moment, cursing Xu Shaotang in their hearts for being too cunning!They knew that there might be a huge danger hidden in this golden coffin, but they arranged such a dangerous thing on their heads!
It's just that they have already said their words, and Xu Shaotang saved their lives not long ago, so it is impossible for them to refuse at this time.

After the two looked at each other, they moved lightly to the front of the golden coffin at the same time.

"Let me do it..." Milo gently stroked the epee in his hand, with a look of resignation on his face.
