I just want to live an ordinary life with the power of the protagonist

Chapter 19 19. The Scarab

Evelyn didn't speak, and found an ancient Egyptian mirror in the room, wiped off the dust on it, and aimed it at the sunlight coming in from the hole.

The mirror emitted a beam of light.

Evelyn slowly adjusted the angle of the light beam and shone on another mirror.

In an instant, beams of light strung back and forth randomly, illuminating one mirror after another, brightly illuminating the entire room.

O'Connor couldn't help but exclaimed.

Evelyn said indifferently: "This is just a little trick of ancient Egypt, it's nothing, but..."

She looked around, and finally locked Wang Bo with her eyes, "This place is really an embalming room, how do you know, didn't you say that you have never been here before?"

Wang Bo said calmly, "That's right, I really haven't been here."

"Then how do you know this is an embalming room?" O'Connor asked.

"I just know." Wang Bo said calmly. "But this is my secret, and I don't want anyone to keep chasing my secret."

O'Connor glanced at him, but didn't speak.Now that the other party has said so, he is too embarrassed to pursue it.

Evelyn withdrew her gaze and changed the subject, "Okay, this is your secret, we won't pursue it, can we go to another place to have a look?"

O'Connor nodded, and everyone took out the torches they had prepared, lit them, and headed directly under the sculpture of Anubis.

But when everyone passed through a narrow underground corridor, they suddenly heard a slight commotion.

It was as if something was passing through their underground.

This sound seems slight, but it gives people a creepy feeling.

For a moment, everyone tensed up in unison.

Evelyn asked with lingering fear: "What the hell is this?"

O'Connor frowned, "It seems to be the sound of some kind of bug? What do you think?" He was not sure, and turned to look at Wang Bo. He always felt that Wang Bo would know.

Holding the torch tightly, Wang Bo nodded and said, "It's indeed a bug, and it's a very powerful bug."

"Bugs?" Evelyn said, "This ancient city has been sleeping for more than 3000 years. How could there be bugs?"

"Why can't there be bugs?" Wang Bo asked back, "And I believe, Your Highness, you should know what such bugs are."

Evelyn froze for a moment, and thought about it randomly. Ancient tombs, underground, and bugs, with her knowledge, it was easy to find the answer.

"You mean. Scarab!" For a moment, Evelyn felt goosebumps all over her body.

"Yes."

To be honest, Wang Bo also hates bugs very much. If he didn't want to find the Black Book of the Dead, he really wouldn't want to enter this kind of place. When he was up there just now, Wang Bo felt the ubiquitous Yin Qi.

Now that he entered the ground, Wang Bo felt his whole body go numb, and that terrible yin energy almost hit his face.

Ordinary people don't feel it, but Wang Bo is different. Now he can't wait to throw down the torch immediately and go back the same way.

It took him a large part of his perseverance to resist this pressure.

O'Connor asked inexplicably, "What is a scarab?"

Evelyn quickly explained: "The scarab is a kind of bug that eats corpses. As long as there are corpses, they can survive. It is a very scary bug in ancient times. But I don't understand..."

"Don't understand what?"

"Why is there a scarab in this city?" Evelyn expressed her doubts.

O'Connor asked rhetorically, "This is the tomb of the Pharaoh. Isn't it normal to have scarabs?"

"However, for 3000 years, we are the first visitors here. Even if there are corpses here, the scarabs have already eaten up the corpses. How have they survived for 3000 years?"

Evelyn asked out the doubts in her heart.

O'Connor couldn't help being taken aback. That's right, 3000 years have passed. Even if the mummy is well preserved, it should be eaten. So how did the scarab survive for 3000 years without food.

Let alone 3000 years, even if there is nothing to eat for three years, these little things have already starved to death.

But they have survived for 3000 years.

It's really unbelievable how exactly this is done.

O'Connor couldn't help looking at Wang Bo, he felt that Wang Bo, he felt that Wang Bo could give them a reasonable explanation.

Wang Bo said calmly: "It's very simple. For 3000 years, this group of scarabs has actually been sleeping, and we, as the first visitors for more than 3000 years, woke up these sleeping scarabs, that's all. "

"Is that so?" O'Connor asked Evelyn over her shoulder.

"On the surface, this answer is very reasonable, but there is still one problem." Evelyn did not wait for O'Connor to ask, and said the biggest doubt in her heart.

"What method did the ancient Egyptians use to make the scarab sleep for 3000 years without dying?"

O'Connor nodded. He knew that animals would hibernate, but even powerful animals couldn't hibernate for 3000 years without dying.

Wang Bo said: "Spell!"

Evelyn's eyes widened involuntarily, "What did you say?"

"I said, spell!"

"Impossible!" Evelyn thought what kind of answer Wang Bo would give herself, but she never expected that Wang Bo would give herself such an unreliable answer.

So he rejected it without even thinking about it.

"How can there be magic in this world, are you kidding me?"

Jonathan couldn't help but nodded, he also felt that this answer was unreliable.

O'Connor was thoughtful and didn't refute Wang Bo immediately, because he felt that this place was very evil a long time ago, and he didn't think Wang Bo would be joking here.

As Wang Bo walked forward, he said calmly: "Believe it or not, spells really exist. Otherwise, why do you think I want to get the Black Book of the Dead!"

At this moment, everyone finally passed through the underground corridor and came under the legs of Anubis, the god of death.

This is a very wide space.

Evelyn was attracted by what Wang Bo said just now, but at this moment her attention has already turned to this room, "This is right here, there must be a compartment near here!"

She looked around excitedly.

Wang Bo looked around and found that the Americans didn't seem to have come in yet, so he walked around the base of the Anubis sculpture and quickly found a place where it could be opened.

"It's here."

Evelyn walked over to take a look, and said excitedly: "That's right, this place can indeed be pried open."

Jonathan's eyes lit up. It is possible that gold is buried here. He picked up the crowbar and walked over without hesitation, "Then what are you waiting for, let's start."

Wang Bo sighed and said, "If you don't want to die, you'd better back off!"
