Chapter 94 Desert Search (17) - Wu Yi's Target Appears

Instead of applying gold leaf, the ornament is made of a whole piece of gold and embedded in the wall.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. For a pharaoh, who stands at the pinnacle of power, what's a little gold? The most valuable thing in the desert is actually water.

If he had the ability to build everything here with water, that would be truly extravagant.

Getting off-topic, Ning Shu pulled her thoughts back. There were many gold ornaments on the wall, and as she scanned them one by one, the man in glasses gave her a detailed introduction.

“Scarab amulet”, “Sand amulet”, “Serpent amulet”, “Gold necklace amulet”, “Anka amulet”...

Ning Shu suddenly stopped and stared intently at the amulet that was introduced as "Anka." Its shape was an oval ring connected to a "T" shape.

The oval-shaped piece of jewelry she was looking at had a solid center with a thinner gold base inlaid with gemstones.

This shape... she felt it was a bit like the "racket" Wu Yi had mentioned, except there was an extra horizontal line at the bottom.

"Wu Yi, Wu Yi, come here!" Ning Shu called out softly to Wu Yi, not daring to shout in this place.

When Wu Yi heard Ning Shu call him, he came running over eagerly.

"Sister Ning, what's wrong?"

Ning Shu pointed to the amulet called "Anka" on the wall and asked, "Does this thing look like your target?"

After listening, Wu Yi glanced at it, then looked at the blurry block in the upper left corner. It did indeed look very similar!

"It's so similar, so very similar!" Wu Yi exclaimed, his voice trembling with excitement.

"We shouldn't delay, let's take it down!" Ning Shu suggested.

Wu Yi nodded, reached out and tried to pry it open, but couldn't get it to budge. He broke out in a cold sweat and looked at Ning Shu: "Sister Ning, what should we do?"

Ning Shu looked around and spotted the knife on the knife rack: "Go get a knife, we'll use it to pry it open."

Wu Yi nodded, hurried over, randomly picked a knife from the knife rack, and stared blankly at the wall as he turned to come back.

Ning Shu noticed that he had gotten the things but hadn't come back yet, staring blankly at the wall, seemingly doing nothing: "What are you doing? Hurry up!"

With a hint of uncertainty, Wu Yi pointed to the wall: "Sister Ning, there are a lot of 'rackets' here."

What?

Ning Shu stood a little further away from the wall and looked in the direction he was pointing. If the wall wasn't completely covered in "Anka," then at least a third of it was.

Fortunately, these gold ornaments are not all set very high; they are mostly within a 3-meter radius, since they would be out of sight if set higher.

"..." Are you kidding me? Ning Shu knew the dungeon wasn't that kind of person, letting them find the items so easily.

"Sister Ning, do we have to pry them all off?" This is quite a lot of work.

"Definitely not, but we need to see which one it is." Ning Shu thought for a moment, "You've already seen 'Anka,' has your blurry block changed? For example, has it become clearer or something?"

Wu Yi shook his head. He had already checked, and there was no change, nor was there any now.

Ning Shu: "The system says we must find it and put it in a designated location. Let's find out where it should be placed first, and then find the target based on the answer."

That's incredibly difficult! It's even harder than getting him to pry the "rackets" off the wall.

Shouldn't the normal game order be "question-clue-answer"? Why is it reversed now? This is terrible! Wu Yi felt like he was going to cry.

Ning Shu still hasn't found any clues about her belongings and has no interest in Wu Yi's situation.

Her gaze swept across the wall, trying to find clues related to "woman".

Seeing that Ning Shu was busy, Wu Yi did not disturb her, but instead began to observe the stone statues holding weapons.

The statues all have human-like bodies, but their faces are covered with golden masks in the shape of animals, and they hold weapons such as knives or spears, which are also made of gold.

He observed the bodies of these guards and found that the carvings were very detailed, even capturing the textures of their hands. He couldn't help but marvel at the craftsman's superb skills.

He looked at Ning Shu and said, "Sister Ning, the carving of these stone statues is so detailed."

Ning Shu didn't expect that this guy wouldn't look for clues about his own items, but would instead look at the stone statue.

I'm really impressed with him: "If you're free, why don't you help me find some clues? Seriously."

Upon hearing this, Wu Yi swallowed back what he was about to say and obediently began searching for clues.

At the very least, you have to pretend to be very busy, so that Sister Ning doesn't think you're useless.

Ning Shu didn't know what was special about this place, so the glasses displayed a question mark and then gave no further clues.

She started from the left side of the entrance and walked along the wall, looking for clues to her target object.

When she reached the innermost wall, she found that there were no reliefs on the wall, but there were still quite a few gold ornaments.

She had a gut feeling that this wall must be something special, so she looked at it by the light from the fire in the ground trench, but she still couldn't see anything special about the wall.

The firelight grew weaker as it rose higher from the ground, and she couldn't see anything up there.

She took a flashlight out of her pocket and shone it on the wall, starting from the far left and continuing until she reached the far right of the innermost wall, but still couldn't find it.

She was not giving up. She believed her intuition was right. There must be something fishy about this wall, otherwise why would it be the only one without any relief carvings?

Ning Shu thought for a moment, then looked at the knife racks. There were all kinds of knives. She ran to the rack closest to her and chose a golden dagger.

Because she had taken the "heart" from the Queen's tomb before, and nothing happened, plus a million dollars made a mess of the place and it was still fine.

She figured touching the things here wouldn't cause any danger, so she boldly picked up the golden dagger.

She returned to the wall and, starting from the far left, shone her flashlight on it again to examine it. Whenever she found something she thought was unusual, she would poke it with her dagger.

Ning Shu first poked at the gold ornaments, but couldn't get them to budge. However, after feeling their texture, she figured that with enough force, she should be able to pry them off.

None of the things she saw on the wall were her targets, so she didn't bother with them. She just thought that Wu Yi could use a knife to pry off his target objects later.

This wall is different from the others. Could it be... that it can be demolished? Ning Shu had this thought.

Should we give it a try? A million dollars causing trouble here is no big deal, so her tearing down a wall... isn't that too much to ask? No... isn't that too much to ask?

The more she thought about it, the less certain she became.

She was still hesitating when she suddenly heard a loud "bang" explosion behind her.

Yes, she was certain she heard an explosion!

Holy crap, who's this awesome? Don't tell me this is the sound of a mechanism being triggered!

"Sister Ning!"

At the same time, Wu Yi's scream came from behind.

Ning Shu turned around and saw Wu Yi running towards her, as if something was chasing him, which made her nervous.

"W-what's wrong?" Ning Shu stammered.
