After listening to Yu Qian'an's story, Jia Xu said: "If this pyramid is related to the one on Earth, then there must be an underground palace under the pyramid. We should look for a passage leading down."
Yu Qian'an: "Yes, let's look for it quickly. This tomb is different from the Hanging Gardens. The Hanging Gardens were built for people to live in, so the stairs are all in the open. In order to prevent theft, the doors of the pyramid are probably hidden, and there are even many mechanisms."
Jia Xu: "Boss, don't worry. Since the doors of this pyramid are all ajar, it proves that this underground palace has probably been conquered."
After the two men dealt with the mummies in the hall, they saw a sarcophagus in the innermost part. The sarcophagus had been moved away, pried open and thrown aside, revealing a downward passage inside.
No mechanism was used here, but the weight of the sarcophagus must be several thousand or even tens of thousands of kilograms, which is definitely not something that a small group of two or three people can handle.
So no other mechanism is as powerful as this one, which relies purely on weight for defense.
Yu Qian'an lit a torch and threw it down. There was a folding staircase below. There was nothing on the stairs, but a layer of sand was blown onto the ground.
Jia Xu controlled Wall-E to go down the stairs. The two little ones stuck their heads out to look and wanted to move forward. They probably felt that Wall-E had robbed them of their lives.
Yu Qian'an quickly called the two children back: "Don't go down, the space below is narrow, and your flying ability is limited."
The two little ones retreated obediently. Wall-E walked around the corner, picked up the torch on the ground and continued forward.
"Boss, there's another hall ahead, and inside it are a bunch of mummies and dog-headed men."
Yu Qian'an frowned: "Shouldn't there be a sphinx in here? Why is it a dog-headed man? Yu Qian'an really doesn't know. I seem to have the impression that the god of death in Egypt is a dog-headed man?"
This pharaoh had so many dog-headed men guarding his tomb. Their lives are also lives! So many living people were buried with him, but there are not many burial objects. Should you say he is poor or rich?
What else can we do in such a situation? Fight. However, Wall-E failed to activate the attacks of these gnolls during his two forward reconnaissances. It seems that robots are not considered living things?
Yu Qian'an asked Jia Xu, "What do you think? Why don't we try using Wali to go in with a knife and kill them one by one?"
Jia Xu: "You can give it a try."
Jia Xu handed a green spear to Wall-E, who was standing beside him, and then controlled it to go down.
Yu Qian'an: "You can spray numbers on these Wall-Es so that they can be easily distinguished and I don't have to worry about which is which.
It is best to have a systematic numbering, just like an ID card. For example, 01 represents my living area, the next two digits represent its type, the next few digits represent the carriage where it lives, and finally the number of the person.
This way, even if we recruit new people to join the train in the future, at least we can clearly identify the people on the train based on their ID cards."
Jia Xu: "Master... Boss is right. I will do this when I get back. Oh, and the one holding the spear is Wall-E-4."
Jia Xu commanded Wall-E No. 4 to stab out. Although Wall-E was only a planting robot, it was of blue quality after all, and its strength must have reached more than 100. It stabbed at these dog-headed men and blew their heads off with one shot.
However, the painful wail of the gnoll before its death alarmed the other gnolls. Yu Qian'an hurriedly stood at the corner of the stairs and shot. Wouldn't Number Four be torn into pieces when facing so many gnolls?
Jia Xu threw out grenades without hesitation: "Boss, just keep shooting. Wall-E-4 can withstand the green bullets, and these grenades can't hurt it."
After hearing this, Yu Qian'an thought it made sense, so he ignored Wall-E No. 4 and opened fire.
Because of Wall-E No. 4, the dog-headed men did not rush towards Yu Qian'an first, but the mummies in the human-shaped coffins on both sides broke out one by one and rushed towards this side from above.
Yu Qian'an quickly fought and retreated: "I'll hit the top and you hit the bottom. Don't let the mummies get close. Their shrouds can get you stuck!"
Jia Xu: "My lord, be careful, their shrouds are poisonous!"
Yu Qian'an retreated to the hall on the upper floor, and only then were twenty or thirty mummies completely eliminated, and the remaining one hundred or so dog-headed men were also quickly eliminated.
After the battle, Yu Qianan breathed a sigh of relief: "How is it? Is Number Four still alive?"
Jia Xu: "It's still operable. Self-inspection revealed no damage."
Yu Qian'an: "Is there anything else down there?"
Jia Xu: "I didn't find it. Hey, there are three doors here."
Yu Qian'an went down with Jia Xu and saw three doors and a staircase leading downwards in front of them.
Yu Qian'an: "What does this mean?"
Jia Xu: “In China, in this situation, we usually use the I Ching Bagua. These three gates each represent a hexagram, but I don’t know about this in the pyramid.
But I guess there's probably only one correct door that leads to the next level of the underground palace, one that leads to the surface, which is the life door, and the last one is the death door filled with various traps."
Yu Qian'an: "Which door do you think is right?"
Jia Xu: "It's hard to say. Why don't we send a Wali to each gate to investigate?"
Yu Qian'an agreed, and Jia Xu controlled the three Wall-Es to go down. The three Wall-Es each went through a long flight of stairs to the next level, but on the next level they each encountered three doors leading to different directions.
Jia Xu: "This is probably a maze. These eleven Wall-Es are definitely not enough for us to find the right path."
Yu Qian'an: "If it's difficult, then forget it. These stones are just green. Let's get some more explosives and dig a hole straight down from here. I see that the stone between the two layers is only about one meter thick at most."
Jia Xu: "My lord, what you said is not a bad idea. But why don't you wait until your luck turns blue and lead us out of the maze directly?"
Yu Qian'an: "Yeah! That's fine! So what should we do now?"
Jia Xu: "I'll order them to clean up the place."
Yu Qian'an: "Pay attention to see if there are any good things around. Why does it feel like there are far fewer things in this pyramid than in the Hanging Gardens?"
Jia Xu went to clean up the corpses and various supplies outside, while Yu Qian'an knocked on the surrounding stones, trying to find the secret room where the treasure was hidden.
After working for more than half an hour, Yu Qian'an's "Nothing to Do" card finally turned blue. Yu Qian'an immediately called Jia Xu into the maze. He followed his feelings along the way and randomly chose an intersection when he saw one. In less than five minutes, he appeared in front of the exit of the next level.
Yu Qian'an looked at the road behind him and asked, "What should I do now? Should I wait for better luck?"
Jia Xu: "Don't worry, boss. I've marked the way, and this Wall-E has an automatic pathfinding function, so there's no problem getting back."
