Chapter 529: How can the Pharaoh's tomb be without mummies and scarabs?
A moment later, Masha, along with Guigui, Cai Shi, Shelley, who were all wearing power armor, and Baiquan, who was wearing a puppet costume, stood in front of the Josel Pyramid.
Masha's power armor was holding a wall-penetrating ring. He stood directly in the center of the front of the pyramid and placed the ring on it.
Anyway, we have to enter the pyramid, so we can put it anywhere. As long as we don't go through to the other side of the pyramid, we can achieve the goal of entering the tomb.
As for stepping on a trap after entering, in order to deal with this possibility, after confirming that the circle did not lead to the back of the pyramid, Masha opened the entrance and made a "you go" gesture to Shelley.
Anyway, she has high perception and a strong life, so it's just right to let her go.
Shelley didn't complain, and drove the power armor directly into the circle and moved towards the interior of the pyramid.
Masha was about to catch up, but Baiquan got there first.
"Mine is quite soft and should have a relatively high resistance to traps." Baiquan said.
Obviously, Baiquan used the idea of Japanese RPG, trap resistance and so on, which is a standard Japanese setting.
Baiquan crawled into the wall-penetrating circle. Masha stared at the bottom of her ragdoll armor and found that the bottom of this strange-looking raccoon cat actually had the necessary details painted on it. How could she start to complain about this?
While thinking about this serious question, Masha climbed into the wall-penetrating circle, followed closely by Guigui, and the last one to leave was Cai Shi, who was carrying the steel.
Bai Quan's voice came from the front: "It's so dark, look, I'm turning on the eye spotlight!"
The next moment, light shone from inside the pyramid, and then Baiquan's eyes emitting strong light appeared at the other side of the cave: "I'll provide you with some light so that you can climb more smoothly."
Masha pushed away Baiquan who was close to him: "You are blocking my way out."
After his feet landed on the ground, he turned on the spotlight on his shoulder, and the stone chamber covered with murals appeared before him.
"Such densely packed murals..." Masha muttered as he moved closer to begin to examine the contents of the murals.
After a few seconds he determined that the part of the mural he was viewing covered the history from the founding of ancient Egypt to the Third Dynasty.
"The timeline of the mural goes like this," Masha raised his hand and drew a line in the air from right to left. "The evidence is that the pharaoh here was finally buried in a rectangular pile of stones. This was the way pharaohs were buried before the pyramids."
Masha said as he walked to the right: "In that case, if we walk this way, the timeline should move forward. This should be the mythological era..."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw that the mural was cut off by a huge symbol.
"The symbol of Amun," Masha said with a smile, "I've seen it many times in Assassin's Creed Origins. This symbol is the dividing line between the history of gods and the history of humans!"
At this time, the last member of the exploration team, Cai Shi, also entered the tomb chamber. Masha then took off the wall-penetrating ring and clamped it on the specially added fixing frame on his back.
Now the shape of his power armor is a bit weird, especially the shape on the back - carrying a big hula hoop that allows the power armor to pass through to go to the battlefield. This is no longer unique, but has entered the category of sand sculpture, full of sand sculpture power.
Masha designed this device in the spirit of pragmatism, so he would not be embarrassed.
He calmly turned the light towards the mural on the other side of the sign, and discovered that the mural there was no longer divided into many lines like the mural on this side - the division of lines was to increase the length of the narrative.
The mural over there is a whole, depicting Amon fighting a monster with a snake body and a human head.
Masha immediately spotted the little man at Amon's feet.
It looks like Amon has turned into a giant humanoid comparable to EVA - no, maybe comparable to the ancient giant warrior in Hayao Miyazaki's "Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind".
——Could this be a battle between the gods Amon and Nuwa?
——Wait! Combining the Cthulhu mythology, Amon is the ancient god who expelled and sealed the Old Ones, and Nuwa...
However, Cthulhu Mythos is a mythology system created by Lovecraft in the last century. It is a mythology created by modern people and should not be confused with the real mythology of ancient times...
At this time, Masha suddenly noticed that there were also little people on Nuwa's side - there were little people but it was nothing special, except that there was a rectangular object floating in front of one of the little people.
Masha got closer to the mural and thought that the painter might have wanted to paint a book floating in the air, but art theory was not well developed at that time, so they could only use clumsy techniques to express it as it is now.
——Wow, this is a harvest!
——A certain generation of owners of this magic weapon of mine fought side by side with Nuwa!
Bai Quan also came over, took a look and said, "Isn't this your magic weapon?"
"Yes, this should be the scene when a certain generation of masters fought side by side with Nuwa."
Masha said.
"So, Nuwa didn't sacrifice herself while repairing the sky, but was expelled by the god Amon?" Shelley asked puzzledly.
"Yes, it is very likely that the gods of the four ancient civilizations were fighting each other for territory at that time. Nuwa must have used a lot of magic power to cast the tripod and suppress the spiritual energy. Maybe it was at this time that Amon took advantage of the situation and expelled her."
As a Chinese, it is impossible for Masha to admit that Nuwa cannot defeat Amon.
No, that will never be possible.
Amon must have paid a high price to win by taking advantage of the surprise attack. Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain why Amon did not destroy all the Nine Cauldrons after expelling Nuwa.
Amon must have been seriously injured and needed recuperation, but the Nine Cauldrons had already been cast and the spiritual energy began to become thin. Amon failed to heal his wounds and has been lying down until now.
Masha told the girls his thoughts in a concise and clear manner.
"So we are going to witness the resurrection of God Amon now?" Baiquan said in surprise, "And then we are going to kill God? I am good at this. I won the platinum trophy for the game "God Eater" a long time ago!"
——Okay, okay, I know you are a good gamer.
"If it really is God who has resurrected, I will strike him first and then turn around and run."
"Hey!" Baiquan glared at Masha, "Running away is shameful, and hesitation will lead to defeat!"
"This is called a tactical retreat. I don't want to be an enemy of a god unless I am as powerful as a god." Masha replied, and then changed the subject: "Besides, we still don't know what this pyramid is about. We should continue to explore it."
Baiquan was still in high spirits.
She asked: "Will there be mummies in there? Will there be a lot of scarabs coming out?"
"Maybe..." Masha said uncertainly, "But our power armors are all new types of Soviet armor. The mummies that have come to life, and those dung beetles called scarabs, should not be able to do anything to our power armors."
As soon as Masha finished speaking, swarms of scarab beetles - also known as dung beetles - began to crawl out from the cracks in the surrounding stones. They quickly gathered into a large black mass, blocking all the passages leading out of the mural stone chamber.
Shelley: "Your ability to put up a flag and recycle it in seconds is really amazing. I'm so envious."

It’s 7:30, get up and vote!
I'll call again at 12 noon.
Chapter 530: Move Forward Carefully (Part )
However, Masha was prepared.
Soviet armor had a low degree of modularity, but basic weapon replacement parts were still available.
And Masha is particularly fond of flamethrowers.
He would use the flamethrower in any game he played, and his second favorite was the grenadier. For a while, Masha was addicted to a hardcore FPS called "Rising Sun: Vietnam", in which the flamethrower was very difficult to use, with a short range, slow movement, and was often killed by bullets from nowhere, but Masha still liked to choose it and played it in a variety of ways.
By the way, when Masha was forced to choose the Vietnamese side, his favorite weapon was the engineer shovel he used when he was a squad leader.
Others play the role of squad leader, using an engineer shovel to dig tunnels - that is the squad's respawn point.
Masha plays a Vietnamese squad leader, and of course he can dig tunnels. After digging, he starts parkour, killing American soldiers with one shovel. The engineer shovel is Masha's second favorite weapon in this game.
And now, Masha's power armor is equipped with his favorite weapon, the flamethrower.
Masha yelled, "British stupid!"
Shelley the British: "What?"
Masha started to breathe fire and burn the dung beetles. Shelley suddenly realized: "You said 'Let them burn', but in this case, shouldn't you say Burn them all?"
Masha: "Whenever I open my mouth, my English level will be reduced by -100."
"That shouldn't be the case. Isn't it easy for you to learn languages with your IQ?"
"I have no problem listening and reading, I'm fine."
While responding to Shelley, Masha took the lead and pushed forward. The air was filled with smoke from burning dung beetles.
Fortunately, the power armor they wear is nuclear and biological resistant, and when the external air pollution exceeds the load of the filter, it will switch to internal circulation mode. In addition, there is fifteen minutes of backup oxygen.
The smoke produced by burning dung beetles is just a drizzle.
As for Baiquan’s puppet costume, that thing is a magic weapon after all. Even if it can directly penetrate into outer space, Masha doesn’t find it strange.
The only problem is that the thick smoke blocks the view.
"Do you need to blow away the smoke?" Shelley asked.
"No, didn't you notice? There is air flow here, and the smoke is going in the same direction." Masha stopped spraying fire and waited for a few seconds. Seeing that no dung beetles continued to run out from the cracks in the rocks, he took a step and walked against the direction where the smoke was drifting.
Baiquan: "I see, the smoke must be floating outside."
"Not necessarily. I just choose to check the direction the wind comes from first." Masha denied Baiquan's guess. He slowed down his pace and let Shelley move to the front.
Shelley took a few steps forward and threw two light sticks to the ground.
"The place where the light sticks are is a trap, don't step on it."
"Don't step on Baiquan, it can kill people," Masha warned.
"Why are you telling me this alone?" Baiquan protested dissatisfiedly, "If you can resist the urge to step on it, I can too!"
——You admitted that you had the urge to step on it.
Cai Shi, who was at the end of the team, said, "I think both of you are in danger of stepping on someone intentionally. Can you please control your inner impulses?"
Shelley ignored the noise behind him and continued to concentrate on investigating the passage ahead.
"There are traps here too." She threw down a few more glow sticks. "By the way, according to your speculation, Masha, this pyramid should have been built in the Dharma Ending Age, when there were still people with super powers. Then why is there so many traps in this mausoleum that target ordinary people? If it were a person with super powers, someone like me would never step on them, and even if I did, I would probably be fine."
"Because the builders knew very well that most of the people who would come to rob the tomb in the future would definitely be ordinary people," said Masha.
At this moment, Shelley stepped on a floor tile, which immediately sank about two centimeters. Then crossbow arrows shot out from the holes in the wall, but they were all bounced off by the round breastplate of the Soviet braking armor.
Masha grabbed a deflected crossbow arrow in mid-air and observed it carefully.
"Iron arrowhead and iron arrow shaft, and there's no rust on them. Damn, I feel like there's an enchantment on this thing." He said as he put the thing into the storage box hanging on the outside of the power armor.
——I’m going to study this thing carefully when I get back.
Masha and others continued to move forward.
There was a downward slope ahead. Shelley stopped Masha and pointed upward.
Masha looked up - actually he raised the camera on his head. There was no advanced spherical display screen inside the Soviet power armor.
There was a hole above his head, and inside the hole lay a large stone ball, stuck with some kind of mechanism.
——Rolling Stone Trap!
Shelley raised the standard pistol of the power armor and fired two short bursts of shots, triggering the mechanism. The boulder fell out of the cave, hit the slope in front, and then rolled forward with a rumble.
Masha looked at the rolling stone that was rumbling away, then looked up to make sure there was no second rolling stone above his head.
Shelley has already started to move forward. It should be her high perception that makes her sure that there is no danger here.
Everyone walked along the downward slope and finally reached the bottom of the slope.
The rolling stones had completely blocked the entrance, and it looked like there was no other way forward.
Baiquan: "You shouldn't have triggered the rolling stone, but found the start button so that we can bypass it safely. Now the road is blocked."
Masha took off the wall ring behind him.
Baiquan: "Okay, I forgot. Hey~"
Still led by Shelley, Marsha and his party passed through the rolling stones that blocked the entrance, and now they were standing in a hall supported by many thick stone pillars.
Masha used the power armor's light to scan the hall and saw a total of six stone pillars, in addition to several bronze mirrors.
Cai Shi: "Is this the classic light refraction mechanism that is a must-have in every tomb exploration puzzle game? This is not good, because in all tomb exploration puzzle games, the tomb will collapse in the end. It seems that there is no way to escape here. Fortunately, we have the portal."
Baiquan: "But we came in against the direction of the smoke. The air is flowing out from here, right? Then there must be some structure here that can complete the air circulation."
Cai Shi loses to a 10-year-old child in terms of intelligence!
Shelley had already reached the end of the hall by now. Relying on her high perception, she was not afraid of unexpected dangers.
"There's a brazier here with a mirror behind it. It looks like we need to light the brazier and use the light to unlock this mechanism. Do you want me to light it?"
