Jonathan had experienced the Ruins of Guixu and was skeptical about it.

Having seen "The Mummy," Zheng Zha and the others naturally believed O'Connor's words and confirmed that this place was indeed Hamunaptra.

"Then how do we get into Hamunaptra?" The warden rubbed his hands together, dismounting from his camel. "Right here, underground in the desert? Are we going to have to dig? There aren't enough of us!"

"unnecessary."

O'Connor stated that before leaving Hamunaptrata, he stayed for three to five days and confirmed one thing: Hamunaptrata only appears during specific time periods, and at other times it exists in another dimension!

Those who enter Hamunaptra and are unable to exit within a specific time period will also disappear along with Hamunaptra and will need to wait until the next specific time period to exit.

# Chapter 529 The Festival of Hearing the Wind—The Revival of All Things

Which specific period of time?

Jiang Liu inquired.

"The Festival of Hearing the Wind".

O'Connor answered without hesitation.

Jiang Liu, Lu Jin, and Duanmu Ying were all unfamiliar with Egyptian cultural festivals.

Of the members of the Zhongzhou team, only Chu Xuan had heard of this festival; the rest of them knew nothing about it.

Even Chu Xuan only knew that such a festival existed, but he did not learn about it in detail, since he did not celebrate festivals before entering the Main God Space.

The people in the team who know the most about ancient Egyptian culture are Evelyn and Jonathan.

According to Evelyn, the so-called Sylphic Festival was a day chosen by the ancient Egyptians each spring when the day and night were exactly equal in length, based on the changing seasons.

The ancient Egyptians believed this day to be the birth of the world.

“According to my research, Shamroe was an official festival in the late Third Dynasty of ancient Egypt, when it was called ‘Shamroe,’ which means ‘the revival of all things,’” Evelyn said, recounting everything she knew about Shamroe.

"Everything is coming back to life?"

O'Connor quipped, "It's a real joke that a city named 'Death' is associated with a festival called 'Resurrection'."

Zheng Zha asked Zhan Lan in a low voice, "Is there such a scene in the plot?"

"No."

Zhan Lan shook her head, but didn't take it to heart. "This is a real parallel world, so the plot can't be as full of loopholes as in the movie. Imhotep's resurrection must have some kind of premise or principle. He couldn't have been resurrected for no reason."

"Conservation of energy".

Chu Xuan pushed up his glasses. "Energy cannot be generated out of thin air."

Reality is not a video game, but there are similarities. The resurrection in The Book of the Dead may involve using the energy field as a supercomputer to search for Imhotep's soul information and then mobilize energy to complete the resurrection.

The Festival of Hearing the Wind —

This holiday might be some kind of hint.

Jiang Liu overheard their conversation but did not comment.

"Do we really have to wait until the Singing Festival?"

The warden suspected that O'Connor had come to the wrong place, or that he simply didn't know the exact location and was just spouting nonsense, so he grabbed O'Connor by the collar. "There are still six days until the Sighting of the Winds! You want us to stay in this desert for six days?"

“But Hamunaptra will appear on the day of the Sighting of the Wind.” O’Connor knew the warden wouldn’t believe it, but it was the truth. “Even if you kill me, you can’t make the City of the Dead appear earlier. You can only see Hamunaptra when the Sighting of the Wind arrives in six days.”

The warden was furious but helpless. He could only abandon O'Connor, pick up a shovel, and prepare to dig around the area to see if he could find an entrance to Hamunaptra.

He didn't believe that Hamunaptra only appeared on the day of the Sylphide!

As long as O'Connor wasn't deceiving them, the City of the Dead was buried beneath the desert in this area. If they could dig up palaces, passages, or the like, they could enter Hamunaptra and obtain countless treasures.

Hey, friend!

Jonathan greeted Jiang Liu, "Do you know the exact location of Hamunaptra? If you do, just tell me. I don't think you want to stay in this desert for too long, do you?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Liu glanced at Jonathan with a strange look, noticing that he had taken off his coat and tied it around his waist. Combined with his slightly lewd face, he really did look like a well-off Japanese student. So he said, "I know, but can you convince Evelyn?"

"Don't worry about my ignorant sister."

Glancing at Evelyn, who was setting up a tent at the foot of the nearby cliff, Jonathan said excitedly, "If we had taken her with us, all the treasure might have had to be donated to the British Museum! And then we'd still have a share?"

Please don't say 'we'.

Jiang Liu corrected her, but then turned to Duanmu Ying, who was sitting beside a camel drinking water not far away, and asked, "Sister Mu Ying, do you want an antique?"

"I've already said it! My surname is Duanmu! Not Duan!"

Duanmu Ying put down the water bag, walked angrily to Jiang Liu's side, but helplessly added, "Also, what do I need antiques for?"

“Your luggage sank with the Alexander in the Kunpeng Qiju. You need money to go to school, right? You can’t keep borrowing from me, can you?” Jiang Liu stated his reasoning.

Duanmu Ying was unable to refute this, but she tried to negotiate, asking, "How about I don't mind you calling me Mu Ying, and you pay my tuition, okay?"

"Think beautifully!"

Jiang Liu rolled his eyes at her, then said to Jonathan, "Go tell Evelyn to come along. After all, the three of us are using this to obtain official international student status. How can she not know?"

Unable to persuade Jiang Liu, Jonathan could only sigh and go to Evelyn to explain that Jiang Liu knew how to find Hamunata.

"Are you sure you're not joking?"

Upon hearing this, Evelyn immediately handed over the task of setting up the tent to Zheng Zha and the others, and hurriedly ran to Jiang Liu to ask for details.

"As a teacher, shouldn't you trust your students?" Jiang Liu retorted. "Besides, I wouldn't joke about my future."

Evelyn was skeptical, but she had no choice but to let Jiang Liu lead the way.

So, Jiang Liu led the way, following the flow of the energy, and led a group of people forward in a serpentine pattern. The warden, who was walking at the front, looked on with a puzzled expression, not understanding what kind of performance art these people were doing—why were they winding their way forward when they could have walked in a straight line? Were they putting on a show for him?

"Do you need to rest?" After walking for nearly three or five miles, Evelyn turned around and had the same confusion as the warden who was digging in the sand dunes with a shovel not far away. She even suspected that Jiang Liu had heatstroke, which made his mind sluggish and caused him to hallucinate.

“Ms. Evelyn, don’t you feel that walking with me this way is much easier than facing the wind in the desert before?”

Jiang Liu did not answer, but instead asked a question in return.

Evelyn thought for a moment and realized that it was indeed much easier to walk than before, and there was a gentle breeze blowing behind her, which could relieve the heat.

The Medgar warriors in the group widened their eyes—they often took this route to avoid unnecessary trouble.

But how did Jiang Liu know about this road?

There is a traitor among the warriors of Medgar!

This was the only possibility he could think of.

But how could he know that Jiang Liu cultivated the Dharma Image Seal, could sense the climate of the universe, and was even more sensitive to the existence of the Qi pattern? How could he not know the correct path to advance in this place?

And so, the group traveled another three or five miles, until a tall statue of Anubis, its lower body buried in yellow sand, came into view.

The head of the statue has been eroded by wind and sand and is not clearly visible, but its ancient grandeur can still be vaguely discerned.

Besides this statue of Anubis, there are also large areas of architectural ruins around it, most of which are buried by yellow sand. The exposed parts are covered with pits of all sizes, and the patterns and reliefs on them have long been blurred and disappeared.

"Hamunata!"

Evelyn was thrilled but also puzzled. Turning around, she saw the warden still digging in the sand five or six miles away and asked, "What's going on here? Although these building ruins are almost indistinguishable from the yellow sand, they are still exposed! The Anubis statue is half-buried in the desert and is the most prominent building, so why can't we see it from a distance?"

# Chapter 530 Chu Xuan's Plan

Are Hamnata, Kunpeng Qiju, and Lanruo Guiyu the same thing?

No.

Hamnata is indeed built within the atmosphere, but it does not exist in another space; rather, it exists in the same dimension as reality.

The reason why it can only appear at specific times is that during ordinary times, the atmospheric conditions cause light to refract and reflect, making the location of Hamunaptra appear almost invisible.

As for whether the atmosphere here will change after the Scent Festival arrives—

Another way to put it is...

At least Jiang Liu's current perception of this aura is that it is like an old man on his deathbed, clinging to life, and will die out in less than a hundred years.

Um···

Even if it is just barely surviving, without human intervention, the "lifespan" of the Qi Formation is far longer than that of most ordinary people. If there is a way to utilize the Qi Formation, it is still possible to expand the magic to the level of a natural disaster.

But Evelyn's explanation can only be summarized in four words—

"Mirage".

Jiang Liu replied, "My body is very sensitive to the movement of the breeze, and I can find the right path in a way that goes beyond sight."

Evelyn believed it.

Afterwards, the group re-established their camp there. The warden, who had been digging in the sand outside Hamunaptra, noticed that Jiang Liu and his group had disappeared. He cautiously ventured forward and entered the Hamunaptra area as well. He said irritably, "You guys are really not friends! You found the location of Hamunaptra and didn't even call me!"

“We’re just afraid of disturbing your treasure hunt,” O’Connor reassured the warden. “Besides, we haven’t found the entrance yet.”

The warden didn't believe it, but now that he had found Hamunaptra's location and the wealth was within reach, it was not advisable to fight amongst themselves, so he could only endure it for the time being.

Using her mental scanning ability, Zhan Lan located the entrance: a triangular building exposed in the yellow sand, with a large, openable stone door in front of it. Pushing it open, a dark passage came into view.

The warden, unable to wait any longer, tied himself up with ropes and crawled inside immediately.

The others looked at each other, and could only follow closely behind. However, apart from Zhao Yingkong and Qi Tengyi, all the members of the Zhongzhou team stayed outside in case of emergency.

Jiang Liu, Lu Jin, and Duanmu Ying entered the passage after Isaac, Ron, and Hermione.

As for the warriors of Medgar—

Nobody cares.

Outside the passageway.

Chu Xuan adjusted his glasses and asked Zheng Zha, "Did you notice?"

"what?"

Zheng Zha was puzzled.

"According to the plot, in addition to Evelyn, O'Connor, and Jonathan's group, there is another group of Americans, guided by Benny, O'Connor's comrade-in-arms who once abandoned him and ran away alone."
