I Can’t Explain This. My Novel On Relics Became Reality - Chapter 37

Chapter 37: The Black Underground Cave!

“He is the trailblazer!?” Everyone asked in unison, “How is this possible? Are you joking with us?”

“He is just an author. Don’t tell me that he is some archeological master just because he broke a few traps?”

“A person who has never participated in archeology has discovered the ruins of an ancient civilization? What nonsense are you talking about?”

The group of people suddenly felt that they had been played.

If she said it was her professor instead of Ian, it would be more believable!

Was she mocking their intelligence?

When Aika saw their reactions, she found it a little funny because they were exactly the same as theirs at that time.

At that time, they were inexperienced and ignorant and did not understand what Ian knew.

They felt that the other side was a full-fledged swindler.

However, they got to know more and witnessed that Ian had an extraordinary understanding and knowledge of the pyramid.

It was as if he had been there before.

That was why Professor Schubert and Aika trusted him.

Now history was repeating itself.

Aika only felt a little happy.

Sure enough, no one would believe such a ridiculous thing.

Ian was a little helpless as he looked at the gloating Aika.

He had probably tricked her too much in the past, and she was now taking revenge on him.

When Aika noticed Ian’s depressed and speechless expression, she could not help but smile.

Ian shook his head slightly, ignoring Aika’s mood. His gaze turned to the end of the ramp, and a burning light flashed in his eyes.

“Would you believe me if I said it was fake?”

Ian changed the topic. He thought about how he could immediately go to the underground palace to sign in for his reward.

Ian’s heart was filled with excitement.

“The entrance to the pyramid is up ahead. We’ll be able to see it soon. Don’t discuss such a small matter anymore.”

Ian was also filled with respect for this pharaoh.

It was not just the pharaoh who was mysterious.

On the mind map, the location where the pharaoh was buried was marked with a huge, crimson, dangerous skull.

This was not a place that Ian could enter at the moment.

However, Ian did not have the intention to disturb the pharaoh.

He would quietly sign in the underground palace, receive the reward, and push out the excavation team.

“Let’s continue.” After looking away, Ian turned his head and said to the people around him. “Follow this tomb path one by one, and we’ll be able to enter the inner part of the pyramid.”

“Ian, how much do you know about the situation inside the pyramid?”

Aika now subconsciously agreed with Ian’s words. Her eyes were filled with curiosity as she asked about the situation inside the tomb.

Ian looked at Aika.

“It’s alright. With the knowledge of the traps my uncle bestowed me, I think I can enter the inner part of the pyramid without any problems.”

“Bah, you’re bragging!”

When Aika heard Ian’s teasing tone, she immediately raised her eyebrows. She felt that Ian was teasing her.

She had never heard that Ian was knowledgeable about traps before.

However, when she thought about how Ian was able to discover and distinguish all kinds of traps, she felt that what he said was true.

Aika was a little angry and threw a punch.

“Tell me the truth. Are you telling the truth?”

Ian snickered, so Aika immediately felt unhappy. She wanted to force him to tell her the truth.

Ian just smiled.

“You…”

“You won’t believe me even if I tell you.”

With that, he started moving and headed toward the ramp.

“Go, keep up!”

“Be careful! Be careful even if the axes have stopped!”

“Don’t step on other mechanisms! It’s fine if you slow down!”

Professor Feissel and the others watched as Ian walked in. They quickly followed him, and he also reminded his students to be careful.

After walking for a long time, they finally reached the end of the ramp. There was no way to go there. The surrounding space was abnormally vast, but there was no road under their feet.

There was a platform at the bottom of the ramp. Hundreds of stone warriors stood on the platform. The edges of the platform were steep mountain walls. When looking up, they could not see the top of their heads. It was pitch black.

“F*ck! So many?” exclaimed someone.

When the crowd saw so many stone warriors, they were immediately shocked and stepped back.

“Everyone, step back a little. I’ll take care of the traps here first.”

Ian stared forward with a serious expression.

After saying that, he took out a flare and threw it on the platform. He wanted to see how deep it was.

Aika leaned over to the side of the platform and looked down. She saw that the flare had fallen not far from the bottom. It turned out that the difference in the height of the platform was not too big. It was only about 30 meters.

This huge space was like a huge mouth that wanted to swallow the entire excavation team.

The space of this huge cave was too big. It was impossible to see the surrounding terrain clearly. Under such circumstances, the powerful lighting equipment that the excavation team had not been willing to use could be put to use.

This was a portable searchlight that weighed a total of eight kilograms. It consumed a lot of power and could not be used for a long time.

Aika assembled the searchlight, and the archaeologists removed the belt battery and put it into the battery compartment behind the light.

Someone curiously looked at the light, and Aika pulled him away. “Be careful. The light is too strong. Within 100 meters, it can cause people to go blind. Don’t look in front.”

She had learned a lot from following Professor Schubert.

The student just scratched his head in embarrassment.

“If you don’t want to look, then don’t look. Why are you so fierce…”

Aika’s eyes suddenly widened.

The other party was so scary that she did not dare to speak.

She angrily looked for Ian only to see him quickly installing a strong searchlight.

“Not bad. I didn’t know you knew this.”

“Uncle taught me before.”

After Ian installed it, he got everyone to stand behind the searchlight. He turned it on, and it radiated a solid beam of light. He scanned the surroundings and could see the situation clearly.

“How many other things did your uncle teach you?”

Aika looked at Ian in surprise.

Was there anything that this man did not know?

“My uncle taught me a lot, but I don’t know much about it. For example, the hole below.”

This was indeed the bottom of the pyramid, and the top and surroundings were yellow rocks.

In the black hole, other than these funerary objects, there were many tall stone statues, and at the bottom of the cliff was a large square hole.

It was the same as the passage of the temple. Its diameter was about a thousand meters, and it was not something that humans could dig out. It surrounded the bottomless hole and artificially built a spiral staircase down.

After illuminating with the strong searchlight, the staircase turned several times on the cave wall before it was cut off. It seemed that the man-made stair had reached its limit and could only go down there at the deepest. It was bottomless.

When looking at the black hole below, one could feel a huge and dark pressure that made people not dare to look down. If they continued to look down, they might lose their minds and jump down involuntarily!
