Jia Xu remotely controlled Wall-E No. 4 to continue exploring the next floor. As soon as Wall-E turned the corner of the stairs, he saw a snake coiled there. The snake was as thick as an adult's waist and was spitting out its tongue and looking at Wall-E.
Jia Xu: "Is this a green monster? Why is there a snake in the Pharaoh's tomb?"
Yu Qian'an: "In Egyptian mythology, snakes are a symbol of evil and are known as the gatekeepers of hell. Legend has it that if the pharaoh cannot destroy these snake monsters, the world will end!"
Before he could say too much, the snake had already launched an attack. Yu Qian'an threw grenades directly downwards, one after another. In such a small space, he encountered a big snake, and there was a maze behind him. He was so unlucky.
The grenade was indeed a threat to the snake. It hissed uneasily below, but did not come closer.
Yu Qian'an picked up the shotgun and said, "We have to fight in close combat. It would be great if we had an RPG. I'll have to ask if anyone has one later."
Jia Xu: "Boss, be careful, there might be more than one snake down there!"
Yu Qian'an: "More than one? Did you see it or guess it?"
Jia Xu: "It's a mural. There are two snakes guarding the door."
Yu Qian'an: "Then prepare to fight and retreat at the same time. You take the sniper rifle. If that doesn't work, lure them outside the pyramid and use artillery to kill them!"
As soon as the grenades stopped firing, a snake coiled up from the stairs. It was impossible to tell how long it was, but its tail was still more than ten meters long and Yu Qian'an fired a few shots. The snake closed its eyes when Yu Qian'an fired. Yu Qian'an's shotgun could only cause some scratches and a slight knockback effect, which instead aroused its ferocity.
Fighting and retreating at the same time, when turning a corner, Yu Qian'an roughly saw that the snake was more than 20 meters long, as thick as a human waist. This snake could easily eat a large buffalo, let alone a human.
This doesn't make any sense! How could there be such a huge snake inside the pyramid? What does it eat?
Fortunately, Jia Xu's sniper rifle can cause great damage to it. The blue weapon can create a deep pit with one shot.
After being hit by six sniper bullets, the snake began to retreat. Just as Yu Qian'an was about to chase it, another snake pounced on it, and Yu Qian'an had to continue retreating.
When they were almost out of the maze, the second snake was also seriously injured and retreated. Yu Qian'an, Jia Xu and Wali took chase after it.
When the snake was halfway through its run, Jia Xu caught up with it and hit it in the vital area. It rolled over several times and died.
Jia Xu went over to collect the snake's body, and Yu Qian'an asked Jia Xu to find another one.
After going down the stairs, Yu Qian'an saw another snake coiled in the hall below. When it saw Yu Qian'an and others coming down, it tried to raise its head and roar at them, but it sounded weak.
Jia Xu took aim, and the snake raised its head and tried to swim forward, but was hit by several consecutive shots and finally fell heavily to the ground.
Jia Xu collected the corpse of another snake again, and Yu Qian'an observed the hall.
If the two snakes are the gatekeepers of hell, then this hall must be hell? But why is hell so empty? Could it be that the devil is still here?
Looking at the murals around, the ground depicts scenes of hell, while the ceiling depicts the pharaoh's life and some scenes of fighting with a giant snake. In the end, the snake was subdued, and in the middle was a sun.
Yu Qian'an explained to Jia Xu, "Egypt is a civilization that worships the sun god. They believe that the pharaoh is the incarnation of the sun god on earth, and after death, the soul will pass through twelve gates in hell and return to the sun again.
To pass through these twelve doors, you must defeat twelve monsters and return to the human world before the sun sets.
As long as his body is preserved intact, the Pharaoh will be reborn.
Looking at the construction pattern of this mausoleum, the pyramids and sphinxes above should represent the guardians of the human world, and the dog-headed men on the first and second underground floors represent the guardians of the entrance to the underworld.
This maze represents the road to hell, and the two snakes on the fourth layer represent the entrance to hell.
Then we may have to go through twelve doors and kill twelve monsters before we can finally see the Pharaoh's coffin."
Jia Xu: "Boss, are you saying there are probably twelve more floors below?"
Yu Qian'an: "I don't think so. You see, the structure of this underground palace gets bigger as it goes down, just like the pyramid above is extending downwards. The pyramid above is only a part of the whole pyramid.
The pyramid is such a massive project. If it had twelve more floors, how much bigger would it be? It would be beyond human capability.
Therefore, the largest layer below should be about the same size as the edge of the pyramid stone bricks we see above, and based on the size here, I estimate that there should only be one or two layers below!
There are only two green basilisks on this floor, so it is very likely that every one on the next floor will be green or above."
Jia Xu: "Boss, I suggest we unload the howitzers from the train and place them here to block the stairwell. If there really is a powerful monster down there, its speed will be limited in such a small space. We can also place gravel and traps in this hall to restrict the monster's movements..."
Yu Qian'an: "Alright, you take care of it. I'll go up and dismantle the howitzer and get some shells. It's really too much to rely solely on light weapons to deal with these monsters."
When Yu Qian'an returned to the ground, he was a little uncomfortable with the sunlight. He felt like he had survived a disaster. Looking at the time, it was already afternoon. Yu Qian'an went back to the car, unloaded the howitzer, and replaced it with armor-piercing bullets. The biggest problem in dealing with monsters is that their skin is thick. As long as you can penetrate their armor, it is actually quite easy to kill them.
When I returned to the hall again, it had changed a lot. The entire hall was divided into several areas by Jia Xu using boxes filled with sand. The road in the middle was straight for twelve meters, and there must be a turn after that.
Jia Xu: "Boss, these turns are to limit the monster's speed. If the monster is too strong, we can also use this terrain to maneuver. There are also shooting positions at these turns. As long as we set up the cannons at these places, we can hit the monster head-on!"
Yu Qian'an: "Alright, we've gained almost nothing along the way. I guess the good stuff must be with Pharaoh. The monsters in these 20,000 miles are really terrible. We're fine, but if we encounter such a situation in other areas, how can we fight it? It's so frustrating!"
Everything is ready, Wall-E goes to the next level to lure monsters again.
Jia Xu: "My Lord, look, are these bats?"
Yu Qian'an: "What the hell, bats this big? They're as tall as adults! How many are there?"
Jia Xu: "There are twelve! They've opened their eyes!"
Yu Qian'an suddenly thought of something: "Be careful of sonic attacks!"
Sure enough, as the twelve bats flew up, Yu Qian'an could clearly hear the buzzing sound while standing on it, and then several bats lay on WALL-E 4, making a tinkling sound.
