The vehicle slowly advanced amidst the scorching sun and swirling sand, the merciless sun's rays causing a sudden rise in the temperature inside the car. Oman felt the burning sensation on his skin and hastily adjusted his long-sleeved shirt, trying to shield himself from the damage caused by the exposure. Through the dusty car window, his eyes gazed at the increasingly desolate scenery outside.
Just as the vehicle approached the so-called "grave," the driver suddenly slowed down, eventually coming to a stop in what seemed like a barren area, still some distance from the entrance to the "grave." Sela quickly inquired in fluent Egyptian Arabic why they had stopped, and the driver's attitude seemed resolute, escalating their conversation into a heated argument.
Oman and Max exchanged a puzzled look, trying to understand what was happening. Sela turned to them and explained, "The driver said he dared not enter the 'tomb' area. The legends and curses here made him feel afraid. He only agreed to bring us this far."
Upon hearing this explanation, Oman's face showed a hint of surprise. He glanced at the scenery outside, only to see a vast desert and a few solitary mounds. The environment here indeed seemed unfriendly.
Max took a deep breath and said, "It looks like we'll have to walk there ourselves. But don't worry, we're prepared. Everything here is part of the adventure."
Oman nodded, feeling a bit uneasy, but his spirit of adventure had been ignited. They unloaded their equipment and supplies from the car and began their journey into the unknown towards the "tomb."
As the four of them advanced through the dust, they drew closer and closer to the legendary "tomb." The scorching sun beat down on the sandy ground, and every step felt like treading on hot iron plates. Dr. Lao Zhong, despite his advanced age, maintained a firm and powerful stride, displaying incredible resilience and endurance. Oman and Max followed closely behind, their gaze fixed firmly ahead.
Finally, in the boundless desert, an ancient ruin gradually emerged. These ruins, swallowed by wind and sand, were partially buried under thick layers of sand, with only some stones and fragments protruding from the surface. The clear signs of weathering and erosion indicated that these relics had endured the passage of many long years.
Oman Staring at these broken stones, a deep sense of awe welled up in my heart. What was this place once? The remnants of a great civilization, or a forgotten piece of history? Too many secrets have been concealed by dust and erosion, leaving only these shattered stones to silently recount the past glory.
Sela also gazed deeply, surveying her surroundings as if searching for a specific clue or entrance. Dr. Lao Zhong began meticulously examining every stone on the ground, attempting to uncover historical clues.
Oman felt that this ancient ruin held countless unknown stories, and his heart was filled with curiosity and excitement for the upcoming adventure. This place might be the key location to find the " Solar Eyes," or it might reveal more secrets about the lost empire. In this ancient and mysterious place, a new historical exploration was about to begin.
Oman was pulled back to reality from his contemplation of the ruins by Max's urgent tone. Max reminded Oman, "We are not here just to admire these ruins. We need to quickly establish an outpost for systematic excavation and research. Quickly, help me find a suitable place nearby to set up the tents."
Oman immediately pulled himself together and became aware of the task at hand. He began searching for potential locations, looking for a relatively flat and stable piece of land to set up a temporary work station and rest area.
With Max's reminder, Oman snapped out of his gaze at the ancient ruins and quickly sprang into action. He carefully searched the surroundings for a suitable spot to establish a temporary archaeological outpost. Sela's warning sounded nearby, prompting him to explore the environment even more cautiously.
Oman Carefully shuttling between sand dunes and rocks, evaluating the stability of the ground and identifying flat areas suitable for setting up tents. The terrain here is complex and ever-changing, with the risk of getting stuck in unstable sand or unnoticed cracks. He alternates between crouching to observe the ground and looking into the distance, searching for locations that may hide danger or opportunity.
At the same time, Max, Dr. Lao Zhong, and Sela are also busy. Max begins organizing the equipment brought along, preparing to set up tents and establish a base. Dr. Lao Zhong remains focused on the meticulous exploration of the ruins, attempting to extract historical information from every stone and grain of sand.
Sela occasionally observes the surroundings and reminds everyone to stay safe. She seems to have a deep understanding of the area and a keen awareness of potential risks.
Oman noticed a relatively flat sandy area not far from the ruins, but far enough to avoid causing damage to the ruins during excavation. Pointing to that spot, he said to Max, "That area looks good, flat and open, suitable for setting up tents and equipment." Max walked over, carefully observed, and nodded in agreement.
Afterwards, they quickly got to work, taking out the tents and tools from their backpacks. Under the scorching sun, Oman and Max worked tirelessly, sweating profusely. During the process of setting up the base, Oman suddenly noticed the sand beneath their feet starting to flow unstably downwards. His heart raced with anxiety, and he was about to warn Max, but it was already too late. The ground they were standing on began to sink suddenly, as if an invisible force was pulling them down.
Oman panicked and shouted, but his voice seemed to be swallowed by the dust. He and Max struggled, trying to grab onto something to stabilize themselves, but the flowing sand seemed to have a life of its own, relentlessly dragging them downwards. At the brink of despair, the ground suddenly collapsed, and the two of them were engulfed by the powerful sand, plummeting downwards.
As the sandstorm engulfed him, Oman felt his body being violently pulled, and everything turned pitch black. He felt himself falling into an unknown abyss. He tried to call out to Max, but his voice was lost in the whirlpool. The two of them fell into this sudden sand trap together, being taken to an unknown underground world.
