I Can’t Explain This. My Novel On Relics Became Reality - Chapter 34

Chapter 34: The Terrifying Tomb Trap Technique

After Professor Feisel’s words left his mouth, everyone’s eyes immediately focused on Ian.

Their gazes were also quite strange.

If the water from the fountain before was still not convincing, then…

This time, the deciphering of the trap was completely unreasonable.

It was as if he really had been here before.

Ian felt goosebumps all over his body from these people’s gazes.

“The reason I know so much is that my uncle taught me all kinds of knowledge since I was young. I judged based on this knowledge.”

Ian’s explanation stunned everyone.

His uncle was too mysterious. How did he know everything?

“Let’s continue down.” Ian changed the topic. “Since the problem of the statues has been resolved, why not make some preparations? It’s time to enter the inner part of the pyramid to carry out the archaeological tasks.”

Professor Feissel withdrew his gaze from Ian.

“Right, right, right. The most important thing now is to enter the inner part.”

After a moment of silence, his eyes betrayed a burning glow in them.

Everyone immediately began to prepare.

After half an hour of rest, they began to walk toward the depths of the pyramid.

Behind the sculpture and the statues was a mottled gate, guarding a long and narrow downward slope. The slope was extremely steep.

Someone threw a flare torch and rolled for a long time before reaching the bottom. When the flare torch stopped, its light was so dim that it could not be seen clearly.

Just as Feisel was about to take a step, Ian suddenly spoke. “Something’s wrong.”

Ian’s eyes flashed as he looked at the gate.

Everyone immediately stopped and looked at him.

“What did you say?”

“Are you kidding me? The road is just ahead. Aren’t you going to walk?”

“Don’t think that you can order a professional around just because you got it right a few times.”

The members who had already decided to move forward were unhappy when they heard what Ian said.

“Ian, why do you say that? Is there something wrong with the ramp in front?”

Ian pointed at the ramp. “Can you see that there are no traces of rats here?”

Aika finally understood.

“I just felt that something was wrong. Now that you mention it, there were indeed many rats in the underground palace. Why can’t I see even half of them here?”

Only then did everyone realize the situation.

Ian continued to speak. “Not only are there no rats, but there aren’t even rat droppings and rat fur on the ground. Could it be that those rats, with their animal instincts, sensed that this is a forbidden area full of danger?”

Ian’s expression and tone were quite solemn and grave.

It seemed… to be the case.

Ian’s words made everyone look thoughtful.

Professor Feissel was also thinking. He suddenly turned to Ian and said, “Can you tell me the truth? Have you ever raided a tomb?”

Ian didn’t expect this question. He was at a loss for words and didn’t know how to answer.

“This is just the knowledge in my mind. My uncle once taught me some things about tombs. This knowledge allows me to analyze the current situation in detail.

“I analyzed this because there is a problem with this ramp.

“After we leave, not only will we not be able to reach the main tomb, but we might even lose our lives.”

Professor Feisel and the others fell completely silent and frowned. They were also somewhat hesitant.

To be honest, no one knew what would happen in an ancient civilization relic that they had never been to before. It would be no problem to be careful.

No one dared to say that they could rely on their previous experience to freely shuttle through it.

“Wait a moment.”

Ian saw the questioning eyes of Professor Feissel and the others, and He knew that they did not believe what he said.

He did not say any more nonsense and picked up a stone on the ground.

Ian’s behavior made everyone suspicious.

Why did you pick up a big stone?

Ian didn’t explain to the others. He threw the stone toward the ramp more than ten meters away without hesitation.

Whoosh!

Everyone’s eyes were fixed on the stone.

Bang!

The stone accurately landed at the entrance of the ramp.

At that moment, a scene that made everyone’s scalp tingle appeared.

The sound of mechanical transmission echoed, and countless ropes brought along a sound that made one’s scalp tingle.

A few huge axes swang back and forth like a pendulum.

Although the axes’ blades were a little rusty, they still looked sharp. They gave off an extremely oppressive feeling.

This was an ancient Egyptian trap set to prevent tomb raiders.

If they had recklessly barged in just now, most of them would have already been sliced in several pieces and turned into corpses.

Hiss!

This terrifying scene caused everyone to suck in a breath of cold air. Their eyes betrayed their stormy feelings.

At that moment, they only felt their scalps go numb.

“Oh my God! This is too terrifying!”

“Oh my God, what’s going on!? Who can dodge such a huge thing!?”

“So terrifying! These artifacts seem to be all made of iron. If they were to cut into a person’s body, they might not even be able to recover their face and corpse!”

This was the first time these students felt the fear of death when they saw such a trap.

All of them were extremely shocked.

Professor Feisel and the others’ faces instantly turned pale.

Upon looking at the huge axes, their bodies even began to tremble slightly.

They had actually planned to walk over just like that directly!

When they thought of how they had just walked over and imagined the part where these huge axes immediately dismembered them, they felt a chill run down their spines.

Moreover, that stone had obviously triggered the trap halfway.

If this group of people encountered such a trap… almost none of them would survive!

Everyone had the same thought at the same time.

The impact of the huge axes on the ramp was too strong.

With that terrifying strength, they could even pierce through one person after the other.

Gulp!

Professor Feisel swallowed hard. If not for Ian’s reminder, they would all be dead by now.

The professor looked at Ian, clearly ashamed. He had half-forced Ian to be his guide.

Now, the other party had spoken out to save him. He knew that he owed Ian his life.

It was Ian who had stopped them, preventing them from being crushed by those terrifying giant axes.

Although there were still a few people who looked disdainfully at Ian, the others looked at Ian as if they no longer dared to look down on him as they had at the beginning!
