“What on earth was that?!”

Alan, who was still in a state of shock, stood petrified at the same spot. He looked at the pile of ashes that used to be his shirt and broke out in cold sweat.

Meanwhile, the incident sparked a fervent discussion among the audience watching the live stream.

“OMG! Knew it! The Great Pyramid of Giza is indeed full of mysteries!”

“Who said it was a firefly? Come out and explain!”

“What was that big fire on the firefly? Does anyone know? That fiery firefly was too strange!”

“That’s not the main point, right? There are at least a few thousand fiery fireflies on the tree! They may all burn!”

Not only were the netizens stunned, but the archaeological team and the production team were also petrified in shock.

Who in the world calls this thing a firefly?

Have you ever seen a firefly emit fire?

But that was normal.

After all, they were in the Great Pyramid of Giza. It was understandable that the creatures here were unusual.

They first encountered a king sacred scarab. Now, there was this seemingly harmless firefly that had just launched a sudden suicidal attack and burned anything it was in contact with into ashes.

Especially Alan.

If his reaction had not been fast enough, he would have been reduced to ashes by now.

“Professor!”

Anna suddenly spoke, her voice trembling slightly.

Everyone seemed to have thought of something and looked in the direction she was pointing. It was only when they saw the Hydra Tree that they suddenly realized that the greater danger was right beside them.

Thousands of terrifying blue bugs were densely distributed over the ancient tree.

Just imagine what would happen when all those bugs woke up.

It was already terrifying when one bug exploded. If all the bugs were to explode together, the entire tomb would probably collapse. By then, the team would not stand a chance of escaping at all even if the special forces soldiers were fully armed.

“Mm!”

In the next instant, the special security officers quickly covered Alan’s and the other people’s mouths, including a few of them who had just opened their mouths and had yet to speak.

Everyone widened their eyes in horror.

At this moment, no one could remain calm in front of this thousand-year-old ancient tree. The timid ones did not even dare to breathe.

There were terrifying blue bugs all over the Hydra Tree. Each of them was like a soul-collecting demon, striking fear into everyone’s heart.

They had to leave immediately!

They would die if they stayed any longer! They would definitely die!

It was as if those bugs were synonymous with death. Every member of the team was so terrified that they could not think about anything else.

Before the bugs made their move, they had to leave immediately.

No matter how many treasures there were in the tomb, or how many valuable relics there were, they could not appeal to the archaeologists here anymore.

Time continued to trickle away.

At this moment, everyone covered their mouths with their hands and slowly retreated while facing the swarm of bugs. They did not want to make a single sound.

They were afraid that the sound of their breathing would disturb the ladybugs.

There were no comments even on the broadcast screen.

If the thousands of ladybugs went berserk at the same time, no one would be able to leave alive. The only way out was to return along the way they came.

However, just as they were about to reach the corner of the passage, they heard a voice from the tunnel.

“You burned my king scarab to death, and now you want to run away?”

At this moment, a figure appeared from behind the Hydra Tree. Vincent looked at the archaeological team and frowned. “You come and go as you please. Do you think the Great Pyramid of Giza is your own garden?”

What?!

Everyone stared at the man in disbelief.

No one would have thought that apart from them, there was someone else in the depths of the dangerous Pyramid of Giza.

What was even stranger was what he had said.

King scarab? HIS king scarab?!

Everyone looked at Vincent in confusion.

Under the dim light from the ladybugs, all of them were stunned when they saw Vincent’s face.

It’s him?!

Wasn’t this the young man who tried to stop them from entering the Great Pyramid of Giza earlier?

Just when everyone was still in shock, Professor Kohler reacted first.

He initially thought that this person was from a nearby village and that he approached them for monetary compensation, but Professor Kohler didn’t expect this person to also appear in the depths of the Great Pyramid.

From the looks of it, this person seemed to be closely related to the Pyramid of Giza.

Perhaps this fellow knew the secret of the pyramid.

At this moment, everyone looked at Vincent in silence. His words seemed to be echoing in their ears.

“You… are you a human or a ghost?!”

The first person to react was Professor Kohler. His voice was trembling as if he had lost his mind from extreme shock.

He actually asked Vincent if he was a human or a ghost!

Vincent frowned and replied, “What do you think?”

He was surprised at how timid these archaeologists were.

How did they even dare to enter the Great Pyramid of Giza?

Even if he didn’t come out now, they wouldn’t be able to get far. They would all be scared to death before long.

Gulp!

Hearing Vincent’s words, someone in the archaeological team swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

“If you were a human, why are you here?!” Kohler asked immediately.

“I’m the gravekeeper of the Pyramid of Giza. Where else can I be if I’m not here?” Vincent said impatiently.

“As for you, aren’t you afraid of death? Didn’t I warn you not to come in? Why didn’t you listen?”

“You have no one else to blame when you seek your own deaths.”

Vincent was annoyed.

It was fine if they were grave robbers, but this group of archaeologists just did not know how to keep themselves out of trouble.

Meanwhile, the netizens watching the broadcast were all stunned after hearing what Vincent said.

After more than ten seconds of silence, another round of discussion broke out.

“Is he the gravekeeper?”

“He looks familiar. I remember now. Isn’t he the man who appeared outside the Pyramid of Giza earlier?”

“I thought he only went to ask the production team for money. I didn’t expect him to be the actual guardian of the Pyramid of Giza!”

“Speaking of which, he said earlier that the Pyramid of Giza lies on the Western Divine Meridian. Is that true?!”

“That’s absurd! I suggest you read fewer novels.”

“I think you are the stupid one here. If what he said is not true, then how are you going to explain the appearance of sacred scarabs and fire ladybugs?!”

“That’s right. The archaeological team has been escorted by the special forces the whole time, but even they nearly died on several occasions. How can he appear here unscathed?!”

At this moment, some people watching the live stream had realized that Vincent must have killed the tomb raiders.

No one had expected that there was actually a gravekeeper in the Great Pyramid of Giza!
