Chapter 317 Landing into Quicksand (I love this chapter so much, especially the second half)
Of course, Li Ji couldn't tell the other party that he was a secret agent and was going to the Pyramid of Khafre to carry out a mission.

He knew that Anastas Capone was most likely going to the Pyramid of Khafre to search for the remains of ancient interstellar beings, which coincided with the research team's goal.

But since he couldn't reveal the classified information, he had to come up with a suitable reason.

"In front of the Pyramid of Khafre stands a Sphinx, and beneath the statue lies a hidden secret tunnel, said to hold many unknown secrets."

His Highness the Crown Prince was somewhat surprised: "Where did you get this information from?"

Lee Ki blurted out, "I've seen the documentary."

As soon as this statement came out, the whole audience was shocked.

"You actually watched related documentaries before this?"

“I’ve seen some.”

His Highness the Crown Prince never expected that Li Ji was such a studious child, whose passion for earth science seemed to surpass even his own.

They have the opportunity to browse a wide range of first-hand materials within the scope of the school curriculum, including materials that even they, as teachers, have never seen before.

When did you watch it, meow?

Dailu was also surprised. When they came to Earth, they spent most of their time together and had no idea that Li Ji had watched any documentaries.

"Never mind that, I've already seen it."

Li Ji's statement made Dailulu sense something suspicious.

Those deep blue eyes were fixed on Li Ji, trying to see through him.

Li Ji felt uneasy watching this.

"I see, meow."

"What?"

"You often spend an hour in the bathroom at a time, and that's when you secretly peeked, right, meow?"

"Damn it, you saw right through me."

Shark felt that Li Ji's appearance clearly didn't seem like he had been told the truth.

His Highness the Crown Prince asked again, "Are there any other reasons?"

Isn't something as mysterious and suspenseful as a secret tunnel attractive enough?
Before Li Ji could think of what to say, his mind was a little slow to catch up with his mouth, and he blurted out, "It's very big."

His Highness the Crown Prince clapped his hands: "Then this one will do."

"Huh? Is it okay if it's big?"

"Of course, the large size indicates strong technological capabilities. It's very likely that it was built under the direct supervision of interstellar people, and there's a high probability that it left behind ruins."

Heading towards the Pyramid of Khafre, onward!

The scorching sun baked the desert until it was blazing hot. A scorpion silently burrowed into the sand, and the quicksand quickly erased the traces it left behind, as if it had never existed.

"Everything in this vast desert is like that; it appears briefly and then disappears without a trace."

"Except for the huge pyramid in the distance and the Sphinx in front of it."

The tour guide, wearing a sun hat, pointed to the pyramids and said this.

He then pointed to the desert in the distance, which was surrounded by a cordon: "Dear tourists, you are now free to visit the area outside the pyramids. That area is a quicksand zone, so please be careful and do not go there. It is very dangerous and you will get stuck."

The tourists all looked into the distance.

A little white girl patted her mother's thigh and said, "Mommy, there's a hand over there."

"Let me guess, is that SpongeBob's hand or Peppa Pig's hand?"

"Neither. Are we in Africa?"

"That's right. Why do you ask that?"

“I saw a black hand. When I first arrived, I was puzzled as to why I only saw white people in Africa. Now I understand, they’ve buried all the black people in the sand.” Everyone around them turned to look at them.

The mother was so frightened that she quickly picked up the little girl and ran away.

The girl leaned on her mother's shoulder, keeping a close eye on the hand.

A chubby, round little black hand emerged from the quicksand. The owner of the black hand possessed immense strength; even as the surrounding sand spiraled downwards into the ground, he could still break through the soil.

A little black boy's head pops out of the quicksand.

He gritted his teeth and crawled out, slowly until his entire body emerged.

A yellow-skinned hand was gripping his left ankle.

The little girl in the distance looked on, puzzled: "Mommy, can people crawl out of quicksand?"

"That's a bad idea; we can't escape into the quicksand."

"That means it's not possible."

"Absolutely not."

The little girl watched as the black boy overcame the resistance and climbed to the top of the dune, while the Asian man who was holding his ankle gradually came into view.

The man held a hand on each of his other four limbs, making a total of three hands.

The little girl asked again, "Mommy, did they put Asians in the desert too?"

“Sansa, I must warn you, you cannot be racist outside of your home.”

"But Mom, have you forgotten that John's girlfriend is Asian?"

"No, I was just targeting this little watch."

When the little black boy climbed to the top of the dune, the remaining three people were also pulled out of the ground, like a bunch of human peanuts pulled from the ground.

The five men, covered in sand and gravel, lay on top of the dune, panting heavily.

Sansa leaned on her mother's shoulder and counted carefully.

A woman with dark skin but a white face, dressed like Cleopatra from an animated film, was frantically licking the sand off her arms, spitting it out as she did so.

A white woman, over two meters tall and slender, had a large bundle of long dreadlocks on her head, making her head look very long.

There was also a woman covered from head to toe in a black robe, with only her catfish-like face showing.

The little girl asked again, "Mommy, they stuffed lots of women into the desert."

“Sansa, this story is not funny at all. You are white, you have the right to be racist, but you are a girl, you can’t portray women like this.”

"What makes you presume my gender?"

What do they teach you at school?

A few people in the distance were still busy spitting sand out of their mouths.

Nini gracefully brushed the sand off her body: "Teacher, why did you insist on parking the spaceship in quicksand?"

"The spaceship chose this location automatically; other places weren't concealed enough." The Crown Prince plucked a handful of sand from his eyeball.

Li Ji shoved his entire hand into his eye socket, using the moisture from the tentacles to clean his eyeballs: "This is too well hidden; even we can't find it ourselves. Will we be able to get back?"

"Don't worry about that. The spaceship has an automatic pathfinding function, and it will come out on its own."

Li Ji pulled his hand out of his eye socket, and his vision instantly became clear. When he saw the black-robed Arab woman with a catfish-like face, he wished he could put the sand back into his eyes.

"Delulu cosplaying Cleopatra is one thing, but teacher, what are you trying to do by dressing like this?!"

His Highness the Crown Prince smiled slightly: "Li Ji, you are very good. You found the flaw in Dai Lulu's outfit, but you didn't understand mine."

"I couldn't possibly understand it."
