Chapter 93 Desert Search (16) - Encountering Si Zhong
Ning Shu glanced at the firelight in the passage. Right, it was pitch black all around when they came in.
Suddenly a light appeared, probably because other players activated the relevant device, otherwise there wouldn't be any light. They would probably all have to use flashlights to see.
"Sister Ning, your shoes..." Wu Yi, who had returned to his original form, suddenly spoke.
He didn't really want to interrupt Ning Shu's thoughts, but seeing her bare feet, one slipper even reaching her calf, and her serious expression as she pondered, he really wanted to laugh.
He knew that laughing out loud was already quite inconsiderate, and if he did it again, Sister Ning would probably twist his head off, so he held back and gave her a warning.
"Oh, right, could you help me take my slippers off?"
Ning Shu realized this was inappropriate, so she sat down again. When her bottom hit the ground again, she couldn't help but hiss; it still hurt a little.
After sitting down, she lifted her right foot and asked Wu Yi to help her take off her slippers.
Wu Yi naturally squatted down, kneeling on one knee, and placed Ning Shu's right foot on his other knee. Then he turned the slipper so that the gripping point would be easier for him to apply force later.
He tested the direction and was trying to set off when he suddenly heard footsteps.
The next moment, a person appeared directly in front of them.
The sudden appearance of the person startled Ning Shu and Wu Yi, and the three of them looked at each other in silence.
Ning Shu recognized the other party; it turned out to be one million!
She saw the string of numbers above his head. This time, there was no golden light, so she didn't recognize him when he first appeared.
Wow, it's rare to see such exaggerated special effects this time.
She had barely conceived the thought when she was nearly blinded by the sudden golden light.
It turned out that Si Zhong had suddenly appeared, and Glasses hadn't reacted in time, so everything about him was just like everyone else's, ordinary.
Once it realized what was happening, it immediately added bold, enlarged, and glittering effects to the numbers above Ning Shu's head, almost killing him.
"..." Glasses still hasn't changed his sycophantic ways; he's greedy for money.
At this moment, both Ning Shu and Wu Yi were somewhat intimidated by the player in front of them, because his behavior in the Oasis had been far too brutal.
Such a person, let alone Ning Shu and Wu Yi, even ten of them might not be able to defeat him.
The two could only stare blankly at each other, trying to figure out what the other was planning to do, remaining unchanged in the face of any eventuality.
Si Zhong had just finished dealing with a batch of beetles when he caused a commotion on the other side, which attracted the scarabs. He dealt with them all the way here.
I never expected to see this... how should I put it.
The boy and girl's posture was somewhat ambiguous, but the boy was ferociously grabbing at something on the girl's calf, and what was hanging on the girl's calf was—a slipper.
Abstract, so incredibly abstract!
He couldn't understand it and was deeply shocked. For a moment, he forgot what he wanted to do. After thinking for a while, he turned around and left.
Ning Shu saw him walking towards the Pharaoh's tomb and knew that he was probably looking for clues. He would definitely come back here after he finished looking there.
"Hurry up and get the shoes out, let's go!" Ning Shu urged Wu Yi.
Wu Yi knew that the person was dangerous, so he neatly and efficiently finished what should have been a difficult task, and even thoughtfully went to find the other slipper.
After Ning Shu put it on, the two of them quickly slipped away; saving their lives was the most important thing.
Before leaving, the two observed the outside and found the ground littered with the corpses of scarabs, and there was a burnt smell.
Ning Shu guessed that this scene was caused by one million, nothing more than ruthlessness.
This smell... I have to say, it's kind of fragrant, how come?
Ning Shu wondered if it was because she hadn't been eating well lately, since she didn't have that kind of hobby.
"Sister Ning, this smells pretty good, it's a pity we can't eat it." Wu Yi sniffed and said.
Ning Shu didn't expect Wu Yi to say the same thing, and she suddenly wanted to tease him: "Not necessarily, if you're hungry, you might as well eat something."
Wu Yi was surprised that Ning Shu would make such a suggestion, and without the slightest doubt, asked, "Is it really okay?"
That sincere question silenced Ning Shu: "No way, brother, you really want to eat them? They're not just insects, they might be mummified insects that haven't rotted for thousands of years. Aren't you afraid they'll mutate?"
"Eating is fine, just stay away from me," Ning Shu said before continuing on her way.
Wu Yi looked completely bewildered. Wasn't that Sister Ning's own suggestion? Why did she look at him with such disdain?
Ah, women.
They headed towards the designated exit, but before entering, they carefully observed the area, worried that there might still be any remaining scarabs inside. Only after confirming it was safe did they proceed.
This time, the corridor wasn't very long, about half the length of the sacrificial chamber, and then we arrived at a space that was several times larger than the altar.
In the middle of this place are two rows of stone statues guarding them, each holding a weapon made of gold, mainly a knife.
Next to the guards, against the wall, were many shelves neatly arranged, on which were placed many golden weapons.
Ning Shu discovered that part of the stone statue in the middle and the knife rack next to it had collapsed and were lying haphazardly on the ground, which he estimated to be a million-dollar masterpiece.
Wu Yi was a little nervous and nervously tugged at Ning Shu's sleeve. Ning Shu was wearing short sleeves, and his arm was exposed as he tugged at it.
Due to the intense sun exposure during this period, Ning Shu's exposed arms and legs turned a wheat color, which was quite different from the skin tone under her clothes.
The key point is that Ning Shu felt uncomfortable being pulled like this, and she frowned as she looked at him.
Wu Yi realized he was being overly nervous; the scene before him was truly terrifying: "Sister Ning, will they come back to life later?"
After a moment of silence, Ning Shu really wanted to slap him. If he really came back to life, she would beat him up the moment she saw him!
However, given the nature of dungeons, the chances of them "coming back to life" are high; it just depends on when they do.
"It shouldn't be now. That player should have been here earlier. He made such a commotion."
"They attracted so many beetles and nothing happened, so it's safe for now. Let's hurry up and look for clues."
Ning Shu thought for a moment before answering, and almost blurted out the words "one million," but luckily she pulled back from the brink.
After listening to her analysis, Wu Yi agreed, and the two began to search for clues separately.
Ning Shu was drawn to the reflection on the wall. The walls here were all decorated with reliefs, but the effect of the reliefs was more pronounced than that of the altar.
The relief itself doesn't reflect light; it's the metal next to the relief that does.
When Ning Shu saw what the metal was, she almost shouted: "Damn, Egypt is so rich! The decorations on the wall are even made of gold!"
