I Can’t Explain This. My Novel On Relics Became Reality

Chapter 31: The Terrifying Stone Sculpture Warrior!

“Amazing!”

Aika rushed to the entrance of the secret passage and praised the new exit before her.

“How did you find the secret passage? This is too… incredible.”

Professor Feissel and his students looked at Ian in a daze.

Aika chimed in. “You wouldn’t understand even if I told you.”

Everyone took a short break and entered the secret passage in the temple under the leadership of Ian.

Below the entrance, they found a stone lever that could be used to open the floor tile from below.

These mechanisms were exquisitely designed and could still be used even after thousands of years. If these had all been invented by the pharaoh, then he must be a rare genius.

The group walked along the stairs carefully and slowly.

When they reached the end of the stone steps, everything suddenly became clear.

A five-meter wide and three-meter tall terracotta path appeared.

Strange and colorful murals surrounded the terracotta path.

The ones that appeared the most were all kinds of deities and guardian beasts.

The environment of this terracotta path was very closed, and the air was not circulating. The color of the murals was as if it was new and did not peel off at all.

Professor Feissel and the others were very excited when they saw it.

Numerous murals, which were full of religious themes, had been actually preserved.

It was a discovery that was enough to shock the world.

Everyone also took out their flashlights and cameras to look at the murals one by one.

Some of the paintings showed Horus, who had the head of an eagle and the body of a man, displaying the punishment of heaven.

There were also countless flesh eggs that looked like giant eyes that fell from the body of the guardian beast.

On the murals, countless black snakes crawled out of the flesh eggs and bit a few bound slaves.

The scene was extremely cruel and bloody.

The surrounding beasts all knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the various gods.

It was as if they were receiving worship.

On the other side, the pharaoh was also receiving worship from the people.

It was as if they were narrating their great achievements.

In Professor Feissel’s eyes, this passage should be a path that only someone of a noble status could take.

Not long after, the group arrived at another underground building.

This underground building was surrounded by vast space. Although the carved beams and pillars had long collapsed, the grand atmosphere of the past could still be seen. They had really arrived at the underground palace.

They finally arrived at the legendary pyramid. In order to take a closer look at this place, they used all the lighting equipment they had on them.

The underground palace’s throne and floor were all made of jade. The lamps on the ceiling also had rotted and broken. They had fallen on the ground, and a few gerbils were crawling around in every corner.

It seemed that the air here was well-ventilated. Other than some jade products, the pottery, wood, iron, copper, silk, and other items were all severely damaged by the air.

The ancient artifacts in the underground palace were severely damaged. Some of the pottery pots had already rotted beyond recognition, turning into powder with a touch.

There were countless rusty armors and weapons scattered around. The owners of these round shields and scimitars did not even have bones. Instead, they were a group of buildings that looked like stone sculptures.

They were too old, and one of the reasons for the air erosion and decay was that many gerbils had entered this place since God knew when.

Gerbils usually ate the roots of desert plants and the insects under the desert. They liked to grind their teeth with hard objects, and many things in the underground palace had been gnawed away by them.

“What a waste!”

Professor Feissel’s eyes turned red when he saw these precious relics being destroyed by these animals.

The tall armors and jade and pottery shook everyone’s nerves.

If these things were intact, their value would be comparable to the gold of the same weight.

Just the best-preserved jade throne in the main hall was enough to make people go crazy.

This was just an underground palace at the bottom of the pyramid.

How many precious jade thrones would there be in other places?

This situation stirred up a storm in everyone’s hearts.

Professor Feissel realized the seriousness of the matter.

If this was destroyed, the losses would be immeasurable.

Ian looked at the underground palace and was slightly disappointed.

Only the main hall was rather large here. The side halls on both sides were relatively simple and crude. The front hall’s doors and stone steps were tightly sealed by sand.

After looking at the side halls, they turned to the back hall. This was where the royal family members rested and lived. There were a few fountains with jade fences, but they had long dried up.

As the group walked and looked, Aika suddenly said, “Listen, is there the sound of running water?”

Everyone pricked up their ears to listen. Sure enough, the sound of running water was not far away.

“This place is probably close to the underground water vein,” Ian said to Aika.

“I’ll go and take a look.”

One of the students took a box the size of a gift box out of his backpack.

Buzz, buzz, buzz!

The wings of the drone turned, making a slight sound as it rose into the air.

Feissel was well-prepared this time.

Under the skillful operation of the operator, it flew toward the place where the sound of water echoed.

The drone searched everywhere in the main hall.

When it flew around the stone statues in the main hall, it found that these stone statues were all wearing armor and holding weapons in their hands.

Even after thousands of years, they still maintained a protective posture.

“This is amazing!”

Professor Feissel and the others saw the display of the sculptures and were ecstatic and excited.

“Let the drone get closer. I want to see the appearance of these sculptures clearly!”

Professor Feissel ordered the drone operator to control the drone and get closer to the nearest sculpture.

“Roger!”

The professor’s student immediately controlled the drone to get closer.

After getting closer, the screen in the professor’s hand became clearer.

When they saw the clear image, a series of gasps and exclamations suddenly sounded.

Everyone felt their souls tremble.

Exquisite!

Exquisite!

Exquisite!

Thousands of years of time had not caused them any harm.

Everyone discovered that the stone warrior’s face was lifelike as if he was a real person.

Although the armor on the stone warrior was rusty, one could see that it had once been exquisitely made.

At first glance, this was a warrior that was armed to the teeth, not a stone statue!

Just as everyone was exclaiming in surprise, the situation changed drastically.

The stone statue warrior, who was motionless, suddenly turned his head. His gray eyes met with the drone’s camera.

Boom!

At that moment, countless people felt as if a bolt of lightning had struck them.

The student who was controlling the drone was so shocked that his entire body trembled. Even the controller fell off!

Aika, who was beside Ian, shuddered. All the hair on her body stood on end. Her pretty face turned white in an instant.

However, at this moment, the stone sculpture warrior moved again.

A series of ear-piercing sounds of friction could be heard from within the stone sculpture warrior.

Following that, the stone sculpture warrior raised its hand and raised the longsword in its hand, slashing at the drone that was flying in front of it.

Swoosh!

A spark appeared in the darkness.

The drone had been cut in half by the stone sculpture warrior!
