By the time the two of them set off again, their body temperatures had basically stabilized.

The corridors in the pyramid werent complicated, and the walls were carved with familiar hieroglyphs and murals. Wu Jin turned on the flashlight and shared the clues he found, Death is the pharaohs last trial. Only by pa.s.sing through the trial will they be able to reach the land of the G.o.ds. The funeral priest will seal up the

that is filled with chants into the coffin with the mummy, and when the pharaoh is tested by the G.o.ds, he can refer to the answers in the book like having a transcript in a trial

The two of them followed the river and came to a stop in front of a small door.

Wu Jin was just about to push open the door, but he paused before actually doing so and repeatedly instructed the cub, Were here to find the entrance to the Brave Rapids and the water clock. Were not here to fight. Dont randomly touch things

Wei s.h.i.+ nodded. His fingers were steady on the bowstring, and the tip of the arrow was directed at the door.

Just as Wu Jin pushed open the door

In the distance, the sound of chaotic footsteps sounded out across the heavy hall.

The two of them abruptly exchanged glances.

Another team had also entered the pyramid.

Based on the splas.h.i.+ng sounds, it might even be more than one group.

Wu Jin quickly pushed open the door.

Heavy, stale air swept out in a gust.

The stone chamber behind the door was wide, and the military grade flashlight sent a long beam of light through the dust to the other end of the room. Wu Jin immediately realized that this should be the funeral chamber.

The stone chamber was filled with furniture, bowls, and temporary food that had been prepared by the program group. It was very similar to the burial system from Ancient Egypt. In the middle was a huge sarcophagus, and murals of dancing priests were drawn on the walls.

Its the Queens funeral chamber. Wu Jin guessed, The Pharaohs funeral chamber would be of a higher standard, and shouldnt be placed at the bottom of the pyramidforget it, lets first find the

. All the murals mention this thing, and it should be a quest item.

Wu Jin ran quickly to the prop coffin, Come and help! Is this a flip cover or a sliding one

Wei s.h.i.+ stilled.

The two of them suddenly looked towards the door.

The sound of footsteps could be heard from nearby.

It wasnt possible. They shouldnt be so quick if they had looked at the murals along the wayk2026; Wu Jin was shockedk2026; No, if there was more than one team, then the team that was being chased would move quickly.

Wei s.h.i.+ lifted up the bow and arrow once again.

Its more than one team. Wu Jin held the big bosss arm and gestured for him to wait, If theres three teams, then n.o.body can hold anyone hostage and everyone can benefit, but if one team is able to obtain the quest item first, then they would definitely become the target, and the other teams would prioritize eradicating them. We cant stand out like that. Is there an exit here?

The 16 year old Wei s.h.i.+s eyes s.h.i.+fted as he thought about the stakes involved, No, the air is still.

Outside the door, the sound of footsteps was getting closer.

There were only a few minutes left before the two groups arrived.

Wu Jin spoke in that quick instant, Open the coffin firstWait, rub some mud onto the soles of your shoes.

One wall apart.

Raphael and his teammate were speeding along the river.

Behind them was the Jingyi team that was in constant pursuit.

Raphael had reached a brief cease-fire agreement with Jingyi outside the pyramid, but the trust between the two teams had been shattered.

The first team to reach the pyramid that Jingyi had mentioned didnt exist. From the entrance all the way until now, they hadnt seen any footprints in the dirt. The entire pyramid seemed to be in the same state it had been prior to the start of the game.

Raphael noticed the stone door by the river at a glance.

His teammate was pleasantly surprised, Lets go, go in and take a look.

Raphael continued on without saying a word. This trainee from Azure Peoples Entertainment was very strong, but in fact, he didnt play tricks in any of the various compet.i.tions and didnt act as a commander. He only kept his head down and fired when needed. He was 2 meters tall and blushed easily in group performances.

At first, the audience thought that he was purposely going the closed up route, but later on, they discovered that Azure Peoples Entertainment basically didnt fund their players popularity at all. Even Veras White Rose marketing had been created by her fans.

His teammate arrived at the entrance to the funeral chamber first and waited for the bolder Raphael to push open the door.

The air was frighteningly silent.

There was a squeak.

Raphaels arm exerted strength, and the door opened up slowly.

The resistance of the stone door is very strong. It shouldnt have been touched before. His teammate summarized the situation in a low voice.

The flashlight beam penetrated into the funeral chamber.

A slight gap was left open in the Queens stone sarcophagus, and it seemed like a silent lure for players to reach in.

The atmosphere in the funeral chamber was dull and depressing. They could only hear the footsteps from Jingyi behind them, and the sound of water droplets. .h.i.tting the walls.

There was n.o.body inside.

Raphaels flashlight suddenly flashed over one spot.

Beneath the Queens sarcophagus were two particularly conspicuous footprints.

Someones already come in? His teammate was surprised, Has the coffin been opened? How could they be so fast? Theres only one entrance and one exit, and there arent any other footprints nearby

Raphael suddenly opened his mouth and held the flashlight between his teeth, using both hands to lift up his crossbow and aim it at the crack in the sarcophagus.

Are you saying that someone might be inside the coffin? His teammate reacted, then looked at the positioning of the two footprints. It really did look as though someone had climbed into the sarcophagus. He couldnt help but s.h.i.+verhiding in the sarcophagus in order to plot against others? This contestant really wasnt afraid of anything.

The two of them finally came forward and stood in front of the sarcophagus.

Raphael held his breath and waited

There was a bang!

The two of them turned back at the same time.

From behind them, the stone door suddenly closed with a heavy sound!

Raphaels expression changed drastically, The resistance.

The resistance theyd felt when opening the door had been due to someone standing behind the door and pus.h.i.+ng back against his strength.

Outside.

Wu Jin, whod been hiding behind the door the whole time, quickly stuffed the

into the big bosss arms and pulled the big boss in another direction to run at full tilt, Run run run run run, run backwards, run backwards

Jingyi was also about to arrive from the direction of the entrance into the tomb.

Wu Jin let out a breath of relief, and he was in great spirits, Alright, lets go back!

Wei s.h.i.+: Were not leaving first?

Wu Jin: How can we leave first! Wont we be seen through if we leave first!

At the entrance to the stone chamber.

Wu Jin and Wei s.h.i.+ arrived from another direction just as Jingyi arrived at the door.

Ming Yao was startled.

Wu Jin was also caught by surprise.

Before Little Ming could speak, Wu Jin had already spoken up blankly, You guys came from that side? Is there another entrance over there?

Zuo Botang greeted him calmly and nodded, but his gaze was locked precisely on the ground.

There were two lines of footprints extending from the other direction. Scarf had entered the pyramid from a different entrance.

Then, Ming Yao suddenly patted his own forehead, Lets not talk about this! Alliance, alliance! Lets not fight, since another team has already gone inside first

Wu Jins mouth opened wide.

At this time, the stone door suddenly opened up.

Raphael and his teammate:

Wu Jin, Ming Yao, Wei s.h.i.+, Zuo Botang: .

The four of them fiercely picked up their weapons and aimed them at Raphael!

Juurensha: Double C and Scarf Alliance! Also, although Little Witch should be allowed to partic.i.p.ate in whatever compet.i.tions he wants to, 16 year old WS idea of him farming rabbits was adorable.

xiin: you can tell that 27!WS has really matured and learned to reign in his domineering tendencies (kinda)
