I traverse America, using holy light to quell American terror!

The next morning.

As night was ending and the sun had not yet risen...

Rick then hurriedly called everyone up.

Li Yuan yawned as he crawled out of the tent and looked at Rick with a puzzled expression, asking:

"Rick, why are you in such a hurry? The sun hasn't even risen yet!"

Rick faced east, gazing in the direction where the sun was rising.

With a hopeful expression, he explained softly:

"Believe me, Mr. Li Yuan, you certainly won't want to miss this scene."

Ades, looking dejected, slowly walked over from the side.

He nodded in agreement and said:

"He's right, that was indeed a rare sight."

Li Yuan stroked the still yawning Hell Detective a couple of times.

Looking into the distance, I couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation.

The process from dawn to sunrise is very fast.

Before everyone had finished getting ready,

The orange-red sunrise on the horizon cast its light upon the golden desert.

In an instant, the space above the desert in the distance, bathed in the morning sun, began to ripple and undulate slightly.

The air rippled like flowing water.

A magnificent ancient city ruin slowly emerged from nothingness before everyone's eyes.

Jonathan gaped and exclaimed in surprise:

"My God! This is simply a miracle!"

After seeing Hamunata, Evelyn's gloom was dispelled.

Gazing at the cluster of buildings, he murmured:

"Hamunata! I've finally found you!"

Gazing at that wondrous sight, Li Yuan was also somewhat stunned:

"The way Hamnata made his entrance was quite interesting."

Rick slung his backpack over his shoulder and greeted the group:

"Stop daydreaming! Let's hurry up and go inside Hamunaptra."

Awakened from their shock, the crowd hurriedly began packing their belongings.

Everyone drove their vehicles toward the ruins of Hamunaptra.

The city gate facing Hamunaptra had no stone steps.

Instead, it was a stone slab with patterns, which was just right for the car to pass through smoothly.

Several vehicles drove along the stone slabs, passing through the Hamnata gate and entering the ruins.

After the car was parked, Evelyn excitedly jumped out.

Begin initial exploration of the Hamunaptra ruins.

We need to find the passage into the interior of Hamunaptra.

Evelyn soon discovered a hole and two useful items.

Those were two rusty, ancient silver mirrors decorated with eagles.

Evelyn had a few members of the Royal Guard do a simple polishing of the two mirrors.

He then led everyone to a jackal sculpture and began to explain:

"This is a statue of Anubis, the god of death."

Evelyn pointed to the enormous dog head sculpture and continued her explanation:

"The legs of the Death statue extend deep into the ground, according to some historical records."

The statue's legs have a secret compartment, which may contain the Sun Sutra.

Li Yuan smiled slightly upon hearing this, thinking to himself:

"You're mistaken. The Anubis statue doesn't contain the Book of the Sun; instead, it hides Imhotep's corpse."

However, Li Yuan didn't say it directly; Imhotep's coffin was hidden very well.

Unless you specifically look for it, you simply cannot find it.

At this point, Evelyn saw that the mirror was almost clean.

He then gave the orders to the members of the Imperial Guard:

"Remember to face the mirror towards the sunlight."

Rick, who had never been inside Hamunaptra, asked Evelyn with great curiosity:

"What are these mirrors for?"

"I can't say for sure either."

Evelyn adjusted the angle of the mirror and said softly:

"Anyway, you'll find out in a bit."

A moment later, Evelyn adjusted the angle of the mirror.

Li Yuan waved to the crowd and said:

"Alright, let's go down."

Li Yuan tied one end of the rope to a nearby stone pillar.

Then he threw the remaining rope into the hole.

Next, Li Yuan tugged on the rope to check if it was sturdy.

At the same time, he instructed Ades, who was standing beside him:

"Don't send all your men down; leave a few of them up here to support us."

"it is good."

Ades nodded, and then began assigning team members to stay up there.

Li Yuan looked around and, seeing nothing amiss,

They then climbed down the rope into the catacombs of Hamunaptra.

Upon landing, Li Yuan only felt that the surrounding environment was pitch black.

Only a single ray of light shining down from the opening above provides illumination.

Even with Li Yuan's limited vision, he couldn't see what was happening inside.

Left with no other choice, Li Yuan had to put on the headlamp that he had been storing in the system space.

As Li Yuan gradually adjusted to the surrounding light...

The others followed Li Yuan into the underground tomb.

When Jonathan came down, he immediately covered his nose and complained:

"Good heavens, why does it stink so badly here?"

Evelyn, who had come down before him, ignored the pampered Jonathan.

Instead, he quickly walked to a mirror at the entrance of the cave.

She reached out and slowly adjusted the angle of the mirror, muttering softly:

"The light needs to be refracted in first."

The moment Evelyn lifted the mirror,

Sunlight refracted into the cave from outside, and through continuous refraction by the six mirrors below,

It illuminated the underground tomb environment exceptionally brightly!

After squinting to adjust to the light for a while, everyone murmured in admiration:

"My God, Evelyn, how did you do that?"

"It's nothing."

Evelyn clapped her hands and said softly:

"I have dedicated my life to studying Hamunaptra."

Evelyn chuckled softly, then looked around the cave.

Then, he answered Jonathan's earlier question:

"This is the embalming room. Before a mummy is placed in a coffin, it undergoes embalming treatment here, which is why it smells so strong."

"So this is where mummies were made. No wonder."

Listening to the conversation between the brother and sister, Li Yuan shone his headlamp around.

Then, pointing to the passage ahead, he said to the crowd:

"Let's keep going; this is just the entrance."

Everyone nodded in agreement and took out their lighting equipment.

Following behind Li Yuan and Evelyn, they slowly walked towards the passage ahead.

The dark passageway was filled with dust and cobwebs.

From time to time, a rustling sound could be heard from inside the surrounding walls.

Jonathan was startled by the sound.

He asked, trembling:

"My God, what are those? It sounds like there are quite a few!"

Evelyn, holding the flashlight, shone it around and frowned as she said:

"It sounds like an insect."

Rick frowned upon hearing this and said in a low voice:

"Damn it, I hate bugs the most..."

Hearing Rick's complaint, Li Yuan laughed and chimed in:

"That's right, me too."

You've probably never encountered a cockroach with a human face, have you? That's absolutely disgusting.

Rick covered his mouth and held out his hand to Li Yuan, saying:

"Oh! No! Please stop talking, I feel nauseous."

Evelyn, however, became somewhat surprised and interested:

"Li Yuan, was that your exorcism experience? Where did you see it?"

"That's right."

Li Yuan pursed his lips and said softly:

"That was in a brat's dream."

Meanwhile, Alessa, who was taking classes in Los Angeles, couldn't help but sneeze.

As they spoke, the group walked through the long corridor.

We arrived at a wide-open, open area.

Evelyn glanced behind her, then looked up at Li Yuan and said:

"This must be where death lies."

"If we dig upwards from here, we should be able to find the Sun Sutra!"

"No, there shouldn't be a Sun Sutra here. Let's walk forward a bit more."

Li Yuan did not agree to Evelyn's suggestion and instead offered his own ideas.

After all, Imhotep's sarcophagus was hidden there.

"Why...why?"

This trip to Hamnata marked the first time Evelyn's decision was rejected by Li Yuan.

She looked at Li Yuan, her eyes full of confusion.
