A group of assorted animals followed the off-road vehicle and fled here and there. Zhang Zian took a peek at the rearview mirror. Although there was sand and dust behind the car, the ferocious sand wave could not last long and gradually subsided.
Huh?
Did it subside?
This speed was too fast … If you're a man, you should at least hold on for 30 seconds!
Something did not seem quite right.
The rearview mirror's field of view was limited. He grabbed Richard's claws and pulled it out of the window. "Fly up and see what's going on behind us!"
"Are you the devil? Didn't you see that vulture or falcon being sucked in?! "Richard resisted and was unwilling.
Zhang Zian had no choice but to force it into the air.
Richard fluttered its wings and followed the off-road vehicle. It kept cursing Zhang Zian for being heartless. It saw the cats, foxes, lizards, and other enemies around the off-road vehicle and felt the urge to pee. They temporarily ignored it to save their lives, but no one knew what would happen next.
"If you don't figure out what's going on behind us, don't come back!" He pretended to close the window.
Richard was helpless. Parrots were not good at flying, so it would be tired after a while. A good bird did not fight when the odds were against it. It decided to be patient for a while.
It looked back and was so scared that it squeaked and almost fainted!
The sand wave had not subsided, at least not voluntarily. The expanding abyss had caught up with the speed of the sand wave and swallowed the sand wave.
The location of the golden pyramid, which was the center of the Devil's Sea, had formed a huge funnel due to the collapse of the underground mine. It greedily swallowed hundreds of millions of tons of sand around it into the abyss. Even the pyramid was only exposed with a sharp spire. It would soon be completely buried.
The sand in the center fell, and the surrounding sand rushed in to fill it. It was like there was a hole in the ocean, and the surrounding seawater was all sucked in.
Richard flew back to the car and told everyone about the situation.
Zhang Zian also felt that the resistance of the off-road vehicle was getting stronger and stronger. It was as if a pair of invisible hands were pulling the car backward. The surrounding sand was flowing backward, but the car was moving forward, so he hadn't noticed it before.
Fina stuck her head out of the car window and stared at the distant shadow shrouded in dust. It knew very well that it would never see this pyramid again in its life. It would be buried in the depths of the desert for a long time. The most optimistic scenario was that it would only be dug up by humans after hundreds of years. It might never see the light of day again because the Devil's Sea was destined to disappear in this disaster. It would become no different from the surrounding sand sea. Even the Bedouins would have a hard time finding it.
It was better than being dragged to a museum and placed in a display case. She did not want to fall into the hands of the Romans and be paraded through the streets. She committed suicide because she did not want to fall into the hands of the Romans. If he couldn't escape a similar fate after death, and anyone could see it as long as they paid, that would be truly tragic.
It was not as nervous as the other elfins, because it was useless to be nervous. Could it jump out of the carriage and run out of the Devil's Sea? When it came to long-distance raids, four legs would definitely not be able to outrun four wheels.
Compared to its own safety, it was immersed in recalling what had happened before. It had met the mysterious woman in front of the tomb of the king. How did she come and go? Why did she know its name? Why did she seem to know what it was thinking?
Also, what did she mean by that sentence?
Not at this time, not here.
Fina tried to think of other explanations, but combined with the context, no matter how it looked at it, it seemed to be telling it that it would fulfill its wish at another time and another place.
It only had one wish, and that was to see Cleopatra VII alive. Even if it was just one more time, it could at least say goodbye.
But how was that possible?
If it couldn't see her alive in her pyramid, where else could it go to see her?
Fina suddenly felt very regretful. Maybe it really should have opened the sarcophagus to see if there was her mummy in the sarcophagus. After all, it had learned about her death from movies and TV. What if the movies and TV were wrong?
It was useless to feel regretful. The objective conditions at that time did not allow it to open the sarcophagus, and there would be no chance to open the sarcophagus in the future.
Regardless of whether the young woman was an enemy or a friend, or what the real purpose of saying these words was, it brought hope to the disheartened Fina. She was obviously not an ordinary person. Did she deliberately risk entering the precarious pyramid to deceive it? Was this necessary?
After a painful analysis, Fina was inclined to believe her for the time being. Anyway, there was nothing to lose.
She would definitely appear again in the future. At that time, she would not be able to slip away like this.
The farther they were from the center of the Devil's Sea, the less powerful the mine collapse. After all, the ancient Egyptians did not have the ability to dig the mine particularly long. Now they had basically escaped the scope of the disaster.
Zhang Zian's nervous mood was slightly relaxed. He had been following the wild animals all the way without knowing which direction to go. Coupled with the interference of the magnetic field of the underground mineral vein, the compass had become unreliable. The only reliable sign was the position of the sun.
The most important thing now was to identify the direction, get rid of the interference of the magnetic field, and go to the predetermined location to meet the scientific research team.
"Quack?"
Richard's scream interrupted Fina's thoughts.
"What's wrong?"
"Did you hear that? What's that sound? "Richard shuddered." Why does it sound like the wailing of ghosts and howling of gods? "
Zhang Zian listened, but the noise of the engine was too loud. He could not hear anything.
The other elfins seemed to have noticed that Richard was not trying to please the crowd again.
Fina's face changed dramatically. "Not good! It's a black storm! "
From Nabari's narration, everyone had already understood the horror of a black storm, but from common sense, such a rare and extreme meteorological disaster did not appear easily. Were they so unlucky?
"Black storm? Are you sure? "
Zhang Zian asked doubtfully. He bent down to look at the sky. The sky was still clear, and it did not look like there was a storm.
Fina said angrily, "Are you questioning me?"
"No, I wouldn't dare … It's just …" Zhang Zian had not finished speaking when he heard a strange sound.
It was an earth-shattering whistling sound, extremely sharp and high-pitched. It originated from behind, as if countless demons and ghosts were surging out from the depths of the Devil's Sea.
Richard squeezed its eyes hard. Its night blindness was showing signs of acting up again. "Are my eyes playing tricks on me? Is it going to rain? "
The sun disappeared, and the sky turned yellow. The sky darkened at a speed visible to the naked eye.
