Chapter 296 Is this worth a billion dollars?
The first mechanism is not dangerous, because this mechanism is just a stone gate to conceal the passage to the small tomb chamber. The real danger is in the passage behind the stone gate.
In order not to waste time, Xu Ziling did not pretend and directly found the control mechanism and opened the hidden stone door.
"Follow me, there are traps in this passage."
The stone gate opened, and what appeared in front of the two of them was a passage that looked about ten meters long. Xu Ziling walked into the passage first, and did not forget to remind Smith behind him again.
Carefully, the two of them passed through the passage without any danger and arrived at the end of the passage. There was no place to go at the end, but a wall. They had seen this situation several times, and this time, without Xu Ziling's words, Smith also knew it.
There must be a stone door here.
After seeing Xu Ziling's various methods, Smith was completely convinced and did not speak. He stood aside and waited honestly for Xu Ziling to open the stone door again.
Following the lion's instructions, Xu Ziling found the mechanism in just a few seconds and opened the stone gate.
The stone door opened, and inside was the small tomb that Xu Ziling mentioned. It was small, probably compared to the pharaoh's tomb. The two of them stood at the entrance of the passage and shone it with a flashlight. They found that it was extremely wide inside and "small"
The characters are really unrelated.
"There is no mechanism here?"
During the inspection of the tomb, Smith found something on the wall. Thinking of the good things Xu Ziling said, his eyes were filled with heat that could not be concealed. He was anxious to go inside and take a look, but he was afraid that there would be mechanism inside, so he was hurrying.
I asked about Xu Ziling.
"No more, it's very safe. Take things that are easy to carry, don't take things that are hard to carry. At worst, the same will happen when you come back."
After answering Smith, he gave another reminder.
Anything in it is a national treasure when taken out, but some items are too big and they have no protective measures. In addition, the two of them have too little strength, so they cannot take some things out at all.
He was afraid that Smith would just think that he would get everything out of valuables, so he did not forget to remind him to take those small items that would not be damaged.
"Okay! I get it."
Smith responded, ran inside immediately and started to search.
In the entire small tomb, the most valuable things were in the sarcophagus in the middle of the tomb, so Smith went to find them elsewhere, and Xu Ziling began to walk towards the sarcophagus.
After a few seconds of walking to the sarcophagus, he looked at it and found that the sarcophagus was about one meter high and wide, but two meters long. Its appearance was completely different from the ancient sarcophagus he watched on the Tianchao TV.
The ancient sarcophagus were square, but the two ends of the sarcophagus here were round.
However, he was not a researcher in local culture, so he didn't pay attention. Instead, he squatted down and took a closer look along the coffin lid with a flashlight.
"There is nothing in the lid or the body of the coffin, it seems to be put directly on."
Seeing that there was a clear gap at the connection, Xu Ziling said to the lion.
"No, because the coffin lid has a groove, which can be completely closed after being covered. Even if it is placed like this, it will have no effect on the mummy inside."
"kindness!"
When asked clearly how the lion opened the lid, he got the answer that he could open it by pushing it to one end, then he stood at one end, put his hand on the lid, and tried to push it.
To his surprise, he didn't know what stone was made of the sarcophagus, and with his own strength, he could not push the lid of the coffin at all.
"Smith! Come and help!"
If you can't handle it alone, just call Smith, who is looking for something there, and call him over and help.
Smith was looking for something elsewhere in the tomb. When he heard Xu Ziling calling him, he stopped immediately and ran over.
"Come on, stand by my side and help me get this ghost thing open."
Seeing Smith coming, Xu Ziling asked him to stand on his side.
Anyone with common sense knows that the most valuable things in the tomb are usually placed with corpses. When Smith saw the sarcophagus, his eyes shone. He didn't care that this thing was placed with corpses. Listening to Xu Ziling's words, he would immediately
Standing with him.
"Come on, one, two, three."
When they stood up, Xu Ziling started shouting, and the two of them tried hard at the same time.
"Squeak"
As the two of them exerted force at the same time, the coffin lid finally began to loosen.
"Continue, add more effort."
The two of them continued to exert force, and soon the lid of the coffin moved open to one end.
"stop!"
When the lid of the coffin was pushed halfway, Xu Ziling called Smith to stop. The sarcophagus had only such a large space. If you opened halfway, you could take out the things inside, so there was no need to waste your energy to open it all.
.
The two of them let go and immediately shot the flashlight into the sarcophagus.
The flashlight shone into the sarcophagus, and the things inside appeared clearly in the eyes of the two of them.
"Is this a mummy?"
The first thing that caught the eyes of the two of them was a black thing that seemed to look like a corpse. Smith looked at the thing and asked Xu Ziling with some uncertainty.
"What else can be the one who can lie here is not a mummy?"
Listening to the idiot Smith's idiot question, Xu Ziling answered angrily, and immediately shouted to him: "Hurry up and open the box and get the things."
Smith only remembered to see the strange corpse, but Xu Ziling saw a few items placed in the sarcophagus at a glance.
Listening to Xu Ziling asking for a box, he saw that he took out his gloves and was about to take things. Smith realized that they were here to get things instead of discussing the corpse, so he immediately opened the box in his hand.
, placed on the lid of the coffin.
In addition to mummies, what caught my eye was something that seemed like an ornament. Under the light of flashlight, these things reflected a slight golden light.
Xu Ziling put on gloves, regardless of whether it would be dirty when putting it with the mummy, so he picked it up and placed it in the box opened by Smith.
Smith looked at Xu Ziling's actions and was not willing to be outdone. He put on gloves and started looking for them in the sarcophagus with a flashlight.
The sarcophagus was just a little bit, and soon the two of them cleared out the things inside and put them in the box. However, the time was not long, and the two of them did not count them carefully. They only remembered that there were jewelry and statues, and these things were
Most of the materials are gold.
"Don't go, those things are too big, we can't take them away,"
After cleaning the sarcophagus, Smith had to go around to check it out, and Xu Ziling immediately called him.
He had known about what was inside. In addition to the sarcophagus, there were indeed several priceless things in other parts of the tomb chamber, but these things were too big and were not something that they could get away with.
Rather than wasting time here, it is better to enter the main tomb as soon as possible.
"good!"
In Smith's eyes, Xu Ziling was the expert. He said whatever he said and refused to let him go. He immediately stopped, closed the box containing the things, and held it in his hand.
"Let's go to the main tomb."
After getting the things, Xu Ziling turned around neatly and prepared to go to the main tomb because there was something he must get there.
The two of them didn't plan to come here again, and they were not afraid that the Egyptian country would find that the pyramid had been stolen in the future. So they didn't even restore the lid of the sarcophagus, so they were careful to return to the original way.
corridor.
"I've sent it...I've sent it..."
The thing was heavy in my hand. When I left the tomb chamber passage, Smith kept muttering nervously.
"I don't know! There are more in the main tomb chamber next time, so you won't have a heart attack."
Xu Ziling looked at his unpromising appearance and looked very despised.
"More than this? You said one billion dollars. I tell you, just our box is probably more than one billion dollars. If the main tomb chamber is more than this, then we will be really big."
Smith didn't care about Xu Ziling's contempt, but mentioned the value of these things.
"Well? This thing is worth a billion dollars?"
Xu Ziling really doesn't know the specific value of these things. He chose these because they can carry them, and most of them are gold products, which he thinks are the most valuable.
Although Smith is a mercenary, he often receives bodyguard tasks from some wealthy people. Among the wealthy people he protects, some people like to make these collections, so he has a little understanding of these things.
"Absolutely surpassed!"
Smith answered Xu Ziling with certainty, "I have seen some similar things before, and the prices are so high."
Xu Ziling felt that Smith's explanation was a bit unreliable. Antiques either looked similar, but the value was similar. Some things looked similar and had similar ages, but the prices might be different.
However, he did not attack Smith, so he did not say anything, but accelerated his pace towards the main tomb.
"Hurry up, it will be miserable if there is not enough oxygen."
The large corridor is about thirty or forty meters long, and this distance is very safe. There is no mechanism. The end of the corridor is not the same as the entrance of the small tomb. It is not hidden. Instead, it is obvious that a mural is full of paintings.
A stone door that looks quite "luxury".
"Is this the main tomb chamber?"
Seeing this completely different from before, Smith seemed even more excited.
"right!"
Xu Ziling nodded and started looking for the mechanism, preparing to open the stone door.
The mechanism here is quite simple. Within a few strokes, the thick stone door moved to both sides and opened.
"Be careful here, follow me, and don't go wrong."
