The Witcher: The Journey to Transcendence from Marvel.

Chapter 73 Sun Golden Sutra
"Just now I thought a fight was going to break out." Evelyn looked at the American walking by, she turned her head and whispered to the other three.

"We're all after money. There's no need to fight each other before we find the treasure." Jonathan looked very experienced; he was used to this kind of situation. "There's no need to kill each other before we find the treasure."

"Once you find the treasure, you must be careful. The Americans don't mind being robbers. After all, they are outnumbered and powerful. We must always be vigilant and not let the Americans succeed."

Jonathan knew very well that when it came to profit, greed could make people do crazy things.

O'Connor was loaded with weapons. He skillfully arranged them and handed a pistol to Wes, Evelyn and Jonathan.

Evelyn wanted to refuse, but O'Connor pressed the gun into her hand: "Trust me, you will need it. In a place like this, weapons are an important means of protecting yourself."

Evelin then took the pistol. Although she was not good at using weapons, she also understood that it might save her life at a critical moment.

But Wes didn't reach out to take the gun, but just waved his hand to indicate that he didn't need it.

As soon as he entered Hamunaptra, Weiss sensed that the place was shrouded by a power that was exactly the same as the power possessed by the Megade warriors.

This power seems to be integrated with the land, permeating the entire ancient city and inspiring awe.

[This place is protected by the Egyptian gods, but why do tomb robbers get in so easily? ]

[Are the eyes of the Egyptian gods still watching this land? ]

Do they...?

Wes felt that everything here was full of unknowns, and that some supernatural power was guarding this ancient city.

At the same time, O'Connor brought everyone to the place where he was attacked by Sand Face. It had turned into a pit with some broken stones scattered around the edge of the pit.

"Did you really see that sand face?" Jonathan still didn't believe O'Connor, thinking that he was dazzled and saw it wrongly. He fiddled with the stones on the edge of the pit with his hands and looked at O'Connor with suspicion.

O'Connor recalled the scene with some doubt. "I'm not sure. Maybe I saw it wrong."

"This is a statue of Anubis, the god of death," Evelyn said, her fingers carefully touching the surface of the statue, as if she had discovered a new world. "The legendary Golden Scripture of the Sun is buried here."

"How much is it worth?" Jonathan's eyes lit up. Money was the only thing on his mind. The value of a cultural relic lay in how much wealth it could bring him.

He looked at the statue fragment in Evelin's hand, and seemed to be thinking about how to cash it in.

"If we can find it, we will be rich." Jonathan was very excited, and he seemed to see mountains of gold coins and jewels in his eyes.

"That's a priceless treasure!" Evelyn said with a touch of scholarly awe. "It's not just a relic, it's a testament to human history."

"Then what are we waiting for? I can't wait any longer." Jonathan tied the rope to the rock and wanted to hang down. He seemed a little impatient and didn't want to delay for a moment.

"The Golden Scripture of the Sun" is the goal of Weiss's trip, and he will not let it go.

They soon reached the depths of the underground palace, where they encountered the Americans and nearly engaged in a fight. Fortunately, the sharp-eyed Evelyn noticed that this was not the compartment they were looking for, and under her guidance, they avoided the Americans and arrived at the compartment at the feet of the Grim Reaper.

Evelyn pointed to a spot above the compartment and said with certainty, "This is where the Golden Scripture of the Sun is buried."

When Weiss saw the local, he stopped pretending and immediately cast a powerful spell.

With a loud "bang", the soil above was blown open and a coffin fell down.

"." Wes brushed off the dust on the coffin. Evelyn, O'Connor and Jonathan were all shocked by Wes's action.

"This isn't the Golden Book of the Sun. This is the high priest's coffin. The Golden Book of the Sun isn't buried in the statue of the god of death, but in the statue of the sun god."

When Wes arrived here, he immediately remembered this plot. He rushed out of the tunnel without waiting for the three people to react.

"Did you see that? He just pointed his finger and the soil above exploded." Jonathan's speech became stammering, and his expression looked unnatural. "How is this possible? Who is he?"

"Maybe it's been too long, and the soil here is a little loose?" Evelyn tried to give a reasonable explanation, but she herself didn't believe what she said. How could it be such a coincidence?

"Sure enough, this guy is not simple. He should know something." O'Connor stared at the place where Wes left. He was no longer just suspicious of Wes's identity, but was very sure that there was something seriously wrong with this person.

Weiss quickly found the statue of the sun god, ignoring the mountains of gold around him. After a careful search, he found the Golden Scripture of the Sun.

Just as its name suggests, the "Sun Golden Sutra" is dazzling gold all over.

Weiss stroked this precious ancient book with his hand. It was not made of ordinary paper, but of various rare materials. It recorded a lot of precious knowledge and ancient magic.

Weiss suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, vaguely feeling that someone was watching him.

Weiss immediately took a step back, his wand already in his hand. He looked around carefully again, but didn't see anyone. Only the statue of the sun god Ra stood there quietly.

"Is it the sun god?" Wes looked at the statue and didn't find anything unusual, but he trusted his intuition.

He guessed that the Egyptian gods were still watching over this land, but for various reasons they couldn't directly interfere in the affairs of ordinary people. Otherwise, Egypt wouldn't have become a British colony.

After figuring this out, Weiss put away the "Golden Scripture of the Sun" and saluted the statue of the sun god: "Thank you for your gift." Then he turned and left the underground palace.

When Wes returned to the ground, it was already night. Several bonfires were lit on the ground, dispelling the darkness.

"Weiss, you're finally back."

Without waiting for Wes to answer, Jonathan by the campfire began to complain loudly again, sighing from time to time.

"We dug up a coffin but found nothing else. It's a huge loss this time." He was upset about his bad luck and continued, "We put in so much effort but got nothing."
