Chapter 1719 There is still a place

Chapter 1719 There is still a place

The moment the human-shaped coffin was opened, a black smoke burst out from around the human-shaped coffin.

Several people had been on guard for a long time, and the moment the black smoke spewed out, they had already retreated quickly.

The black smoke exuded a strong rancid smell, and even though they quickly moved away, the disgusting smell still made everyone's stomachs twitch.

"Be careful, this black smoke is probably poisonous! Hold your breath!"

Xu Shaotang held his breath while talking, and when Lao Jiu was about to speak, Xu Shaotang had already dragged him out of the palace.

Seeing this, the others also withdrew from the palace one after another.

Looking at the crowd who was facing a formidable enemy, Lao Jiu couldn't help showing a wry smile on his face, he gently pulled Xu Shaotang, and said slowly: "Xu Shao, the black smoke should be corpse gas, don't be nervous."

"Corpse gas? Isn't it poisonous smoke?" Xu Shaotang asked slightly astonished.

"Actually, it's a kind of poisonous smoke. It's a kind of gas produced by the erosion of human corpses over thousands of years." Lao Jiu slowly explained: "This kind of corpse gas usually contains deadly viruses and bacteria. , but as long as it is not sprayed on the face, it should not be too serious."

"Is that so?"

Xu Shaotang glanced at Lao Jiu with a little embarrassment, and said: "Anyway, they're all out, let's wait for the corpse gas inside to dissipate for a while before going in."

It was almost the end, and he didn't want any accidents due to their carelessness at this time.

After more than ten minutes, Xu Shaotang entered slowly first, making sure that the disgusting rancid smell inside had dissipated, and then Xu Shaotang motioned for everyone to come in.

When they came to the human-shaped coffin that had been opened, they saw a dead body wrapped in blackened cloth strips lying quietly inside. The cloth strips on the corpse did not know how many years had passed. At that time, the strip of cloth quickly weathered because it came into contact with the air. At first it was only a faint black color, then the black color became deeper and deeper, and finally turned into a fine cloud of dust.

At this time, the corpse inside also began to reveal its appearance.

The corpse had long been shriveled, and its original appearance could not be seen at all. It could be vaguely seen that there seemed to be a bead in the mouth of the corpse.

Needless to say, the beads that can be held in the mouth of this corpse must be priceless treasures, but at this moment, everyone has no interest in these beads at all. Everyone just wants to know whether the legendary Ark of the Covenant is here or not!

"This...should be the corpse of the Pharaoh?" Looking at the shriveled corpse in front of him, Milo said with some uncertainty.

"It should be..." Xu Shaotang nodded slightly, and looked at the place in front of him full of doubts, "If the Ark of the Covenant really exists and is really in this pyramid, it is most likely here?"

They have almost searched here now, but they haven't even seen the shadow of the ark. He really can't figure out where else the ark can be placed.

"According to the normal situation, it should be like this." Joseph nodded slightly, and said again: "But it does not rule out the possibility that there is another special place to hide the Ark of the Covenant."

Xu Shaotang thought about it carefully, then shook his head slightly and said, "Even if there is such a place, it should be here. Everyone, look for it and see if there are any hidden compartments."

There have been so many traps designed here. It is not only a bit of luck to find this place, but also the result of several trials of life and death. If it is an ordinary person, it is believed that they have already died in this pyramid. I think it is necessary to find another place to place the Ark of the Covenant, because it is actually safe enough here.

"All right!"

Joseph nodded, and took the lead in searching the palace.

This place is actually not that big. After more than an hour, everyone searched every corner here, but still did not find any place that seemed to have a hidden compartment.

"Where the hell is it?"

Unable to find it, Xu Shaotang couldn't help becoming irritable, pacing back and forth in the tomb, thinking about where the Ark of the Covenant might be hidden.

Not only Xu Shaotang, but everyone was actually very upset. How much effort they had to find this place, and many companions died because of searching for this place, but now they are faced with the dilemma of finding nothing, and everyone feels extremely angry.

Seeing Xu Shaotang's irritable look, Lao Jiu said softly: "Young Master Xu, why don't you take a rest first, and I'll look for it more carefully?"

"How do you plan to find it?" Xu Shaotang looked up at Lao Jiu, all signs showed that the theory of Feng Shui that Lao Jiu relied on was of no use here at all, and all the arrangements here had nothing to do with Feng Shui, he really didn't know, What method can Lao Jiu use to find it.

Lao Jiu shook his head slightly and said, "I don't know either. Anyway, I just search for it casually. I agree with you. If the Ark of the Covenant is really in this pyramid, it should only be in this place!"

"But we have searched all over here..." Xu Shaotang said a little dejectedly.

"No!" Lao Jiu shook his head slightly and said, "We only looked for places that our eyes can see, and there are some places that our eyes can't see!"

Hearing Lao Jiu's words, Xu Shaotang's heart skipped a beat, and he said, "For example?"

"For example, there!"

As he spoke, Lao Jiu pointed to the golden coffin.

"Huh?" Xu Shaotang moved his eyes slightly, and asked, "You mean, there might be something like a mezzanine inside the golden coffin?"

"Correct!"

Lao Jiu nodded and said, "You should take a rest first, I'll go and see what's going on inside the golden coffin."

"I'll go with you!" After all, Xu Shaotang was still worried about Lao Jiu's safety, if there were any traps around the golden coffin, Lao Jiu's life might be killed if he was not careful.

Lao Jiu nodded, first walked towards the human-shaped coffin, estimated the thickness of the human-shaped coffin, and said to Xu Shaotang: "Xu Shao, help me find something to test how deep this golden coffin is!"

Inside the golden coffin was a thick layer of gold objects and precious stones, and he couldn't see how deep it was at all.

Hearing Lao Jiu's words, Xu Shaotang immediately understood what he meant, walked up to Mi Luo and said, "Let me borrow your epee!"

"Okay!" Milo nodded, and handed the epee in his hand to Xu Shaotang.

Xu Shaotang immediately took the epee and inserted it into the golden coffin. After some calculations, he said to Lao Jiu, "This layer of gold and precious stones is about [-] centimeters long."

"The human-shaped coffin is about [-] centimeters thick!" Lao Jiu thought for a while, and said, "The height of this golden coffin is about a little over one meter. There should be no interlayer inside..."

"really!"

In fact, it doesn't need to be said by Lao Jiu, Xu Shaotang also understands this truth. Seeing that Lao Jiu's guess also failed, the look of hope that had not yet fully surged on his face quickly dissipated.

Seeing Xu Shaotang's disappointed expression, Lao Jiu said quietly: "There is another place to look for!"
