"The road to the top must step on corpses." Hu Bayi murmured.
If you want to get to the top, you have to walk on many bones.
In ancient Egypt, this was indeed the case.
Fatty Wang walked at the back, taking every step carefully for fear of breaking his bones.
He is still very concerned about his weight.
Fortunately, these bones were hard enough, so Fatty Wang didn't encounter any danger when he walked on them.
After everyone went up, they looked at the fourth floor, which was considered the upper level.
Here, there are many wooden human-shaped coffins with many weird formations carved on them.
There are still some bones hanging on the surrounding walls.
Under the white bones, there is a dark ditch, and there are some blood stains in the dark ditch.
In the center, there is an altar, and a human-shaped coffin stands upright on the altar. Although the coffin is also made of wood, the material is very good.
"At this level, for the common people, they are the superiors, that is, the local administrators and minor priests." Hu Bayi explained.
The minor priest is the priest of a certain area, while the high priest is the priest of the entire ancient Egypt. His status is very high, second only to the pharaoh and on the same ladder as the king.
There are also some murals carved on the walls, which seem to describe who are the people lying here and who are the people hanging on the walls.
Hu Bayi likes to study history, so he read it patiently for a while before interpreting it.
"The people hanging on the wall should be prisoners. They are the sacrifices prepared by the little priests to worship Anubis, the god of the underworld.
In the pyramid, Anubis has a very high status and should be at the highest level, so the real sacrifice at this level is the priest himself.
The people lying in the human-shaped coffins here should be local officials. They have a higher status than civilians, so they can be buried with the young priests."
Hu Bayi's interpretation gave everyone a certain understanding of this level.
The formation on the ground is the formation of sacrifice.
In addition to human-shaped coffins and various torture instruments, there are also many clay pots on this floor, which are obviously burial objects.
"Do you want to open this coffin?" Hu Bayi looked at Zhou Sheng.
To be honest, he wanted to open the coffin and see what was going on inside the coffin inside the pyramid.
It's a pity that the people on the lower three floors are not equipped with coffins.
"Open it!" Zhou Sheng said directly.
After getting Zhou Sheng's permission, Hu Bayi decisively picked up the diamond umbrella and pried open the human coffin.
The wooden human-shaped coffin was pried open without much effort.
"Bang!"
When the coffin was opened, a body wrapped in white cloth and emitting a foul smell stood inside.
"It stinks!" Hu Bayi took a few steps back.
"They were all buried alive," Zhou Sheng couldn't help but say.
"Yes, when the Pharaoh is replaced, all the people who followed the Pharaoh will be buried with him, including the royal family." Hu Ba nodded and said.
From the royal family to the slaves and common people, everyone was buried with the Pharaoh when he died.
The replacement of Pharaoh was extremely cruel.
In the first few hundred years of ancient Egypt, the Pharaoh dominated everything. After a few hundred years, because people no longer believed in Anubis, the god of the underworld, the Pharaoh's power was impacted, and the royal family rose up and overthrew the Pharaoh.
After all, the Pharaoh claimed to be the son of Hades and took charge of the world on behalf of Hades.
If people no longer believe in your father, will they still care about you?
"Although this mummy is just like what I imagined, it really stinks." Fatty Wang cursed.
On TV, he often saw ancient Egyptian mummies, shaped like the one in front of him, with bandages all over their bodies.
As for this one, the white bandage became very dirty and smelled very bad. They didn't even want to take the wooden scepter next to the mummy.
"Forget it, let's go to the agency."
Everyone put the lid of the coffin on him to prevent the smell of corpse from spreading everywhere.
When the coffin lid was just closed, there was a bang and the coffin lid was kicked open again.
"I really don't want to dirty my mausoleum guard's sword." Zhou Sheng shook his head and was speechless.
The mummy was so smelly that he didn't even want to dirty the mausoleum guard's sword.
The mummy inside came out holding a scepter.
The rancid smell emanating from his body was getting stronger and stronger.
After he sensed the person, he took the scepter and knocked on the ground several times.
"Dong dong, dong dong..."
Along with the rhythmic knocking sound, there were strange noises coming from many human-shaped coffins.
"Bang, bang..."
One after another, mummies crawled out of the coffins with their rotting bodies twisting.
They stretched out their hands as if to strangle tomb robbers.
"Granny, there's nothing scary about mummies, but this smell..."
Fatty Wang couldn't bear it any longer, so he grabbed the jar and smashed it away.
"Bang!"
The jar shattered and the mummy fell, but quickly stood up again.
No matter how strong they are, you don't even think about it, they can kill them with just one kick.
But they are full of rancid smell. If you attack them, you will be disgusted for the rest of your life.
It's like a weak person falls into a manure pit and climbs out to challenge you. Should you challenge him alone? Or fight in a group?
The situation now is that you have to fight even if you don’t want to.
Because they can sense you.
"Meow, this stinks like a cat." Liuli couldn't stand it either.
The stench emanating from the mummy was beyond the smell of rotting corpses.
However, it is understandable. Their whole bodies were covered with straps and they were kept in a closed wooden coffin to ferment. After fermenting for so many years, it would be strange if they didn't stink.
"Hurry up and find an exit." Hu Bayi took out his crossbow and shot. He didn't even want to use a diamond umbrella or a corpse-killing stick to engage in close combat.
Zhou Sheng, on the other hand, directly exchanged for a bow and hundreds of sharp arrows, and jumped to a high place to shoot.
He couldn't bear it, and he didn't want to bury his mausoleum guard's sword.
When he shot an arrow at the little priest, the little priest raised his staff to block it.
Then he waved his scepter, and all the mummies sped up and attacked the tomb robbers.
"The little priest can control other mummies." Liuli stood on Zhou Sheng's shoulders and said.
"I know." Zhou Sheng said.
The bows and arrows he exchanged were just ordinary bows and arrows, which could not hurt the little priest at all.
The little priest has absorbed blood and received sacrifices. His body is relatively strong, and he is almost as strong as the blood rice dumpling.
There was also a black-red blood staining his bandage.
"He is getting stronger, stop him quickly." Liuli pointed at the little priest with her cat paw.
"Why."
Zhou Sheng sighed and pulled out the mausoleum guard's sword from the wall.
He originally didn't want to dirty the mausoleum guard's sword, but he had to use it to kill the little priest.
Liuli jumped off Zhou Sheng's shoulders, she didn't want blood to splash on her body.
She jumped all the way to Huo Yujie and stood on Huo Yujie's shoulders.
"Little beauty, listen to my command." Liuli said to her.
Huo Yujie was a little angry when she heard her calling her, but after thinking about it, she let it go.
This cat's claws can easily cut through boulders. It is also the tomb keeper's cat and cannot be offended by itself.
"Do you know who the tomb keeper is?"
"Of course I know!" Liuli said.
Huo Yujie suddenly had an idea in her mind.
Fortunately, I brought a small fishing rod in to use as dry food, so there was a solution.
Zhou Sheng walked up to the little priest, shook his head and said, "I don't want to kill you."
"Because...you are too dirty!"
Clang!
Zhou Sheng took out his long sword and cut off the head of the young priest as quickly as possible.
