Chapter 31: A Thousand-Year Legacy. You Have To Fulfill The Agreement!

No one expected that there was a Devil Flower in Aaron’s burial chamber.

In fact, all of them were shocked to learn that the legendary Flower of Hell actually existed.

Fortunately, the Devil Flower had not bloomed yet. Otherwise, they would have all fallen for it.

Wayne described the miserable state one would be in after being deceived by the flower, where one would spend the rest of his life wandering around the tomb until death.

The thought made the cameraman’s legs tremble in fear.

He wanted to get out of there before the flower bloomed!

Leena frowned at his suggestion.

“Allen, do you still have that thing?”

Allen nodded. He reached into his pocket and produced a small porcelain bottle.

He opened the bottle cap and poured out a few black pills.

Then, the Scott siblings took one each and put it in their mouths. After that, Allen handed the last one to the cameraman.

“I thought we’d already eaten one before…”

The cameraman was confused. He remembered that they had already swallowed another pill.

Wayne explained, “Don’t worry. This one is different from the one before. The previous one serves to protect you from poisonous gases, whereas this one is called the Black Pellet, also known as the Mind Purging Pill.”

“Usually, there are fatal things in tombs that can cause people to have illusions. With this Mind Purging Pill, one can avoid being tricked into hallucinating, but it is not an antidote to hallucinogens.”

Hearing that, the cameraman quickly swallowed the pill.

The Scotts had also inherited the Mind Purging Pills from their ancestors.

However, the specific manufacturing process had been lost, so this kind of medicinal pill was very precious. There were only a limited number of them.

The Scott family wouldn’t have allowed them to bring those pills if this mission had not been so important.

Initially, they had only brought them just in case. They had no idea that there were really hallucinogens in the Pyramid of Giza. Furthermore, it was the Devil Flower, an extremely powerful hallucinogen.

Fortunately, the Devil Flower had yet to bloom.

The Mind Purging Pill could only be used as a precaution. The pill would be useless if one had started having illusions.

Meanwhile, the netizens who saw this scene in the live stream all exclaimed.

“As expected of exorcists. They are so professional!”

“They really have an endless stream of tricks up their sleeves. They made so many preparations!”

“Exactly. Any other explorer would be dead by now!”

The Scotts’ wide range of abilities shocked the netizens.

The cameraman swallowed the pill and felt a strong medicinal fragrance explode in his mouth.

At that instant, he felt his mind completely clear up, not a single trace of confusion left.

Now, they were ready to open the coffin.

“Allen, you may begin.”

Wayne and the others returned their attention to the coffin before them.

After bypassing the Devil Flower, they had to first check if there were any mechanisms near the coffin.

Allen was the best at it.

He walked around the coffin a few times, carefully observing any possible dangers.

Then, he nodded and said, “There are no traps outside the coffin, but there may be mechanisms and poisonous gases inside.”

“The moment we open the coffin, we may trigger the mechanisms. We have to be prepared.”

After all, the coffin was the chamber owner’s last line of defense.

Therefore, there would definitely be some dangers.

Leena and Wayne followed Allen to the coffin and began to examine it carefully.

This coffin was made from golden-silk wood. It was still perfectly preserved after thousands of years.

“Leena.”

They could open the coffin anytime, but Allen didn’t do it right away. Instead, he turned around and called his sister.

Leena removed her backpack and rummaged through it for something.

“Why did she bring out an oil lamp?”

“What is she doing?”

“I don’t understand this!”

The audience watching the live stream saw Leena take out an oil lamp from her backpack. They all asked curiously.

Seeing this, even the cameraman couldn’t help but ask, “What are you doing?”

Hearing his question, Leena replied coldly, “Before opening the coffin, we must light an oil lamp in the northwest corner of the chamber.”

“If the oil lamp puts out when we open the coffin, we must leave the chamber and not take anything away. If the oil lamp continues to burn, it means that the tomb owner has given us permission to take away their burial items.”

“When a person lights a lamp, a ghost blows a lamp. This is an agreement between the living and the dead for over a thousand years and we must fulfill it. Be it the living or the dead, everyone must abide by this agreement.”

What?!

The netizens were all stunned.

Since when did this agreement exist?

But on second thought, it made sense.

“Which one… is the northwest corner?” The cameraman was puzzled.

He had no problem with lighting an oil lamp.

But how could one tell the direction in this enclosed chamber?

But this time, the Scott siblings didn’t bother explaining.

There were some things that ordinary people could not understand, and it was useless to explain.

For example, being able to tell the direction in a tomb was a skill.

After all, since ancient times, some customs regarding funeral rites had to abide by the iron rules set by predecessors.

One could draw many meaningful conclusions from the orientation of a coffin.

For example, a Pharaoh’s coffin would be placed facing the south.

But High Priest Aaron was not a Pharaoh.

So his coffin had been placed along the east-west direction. With that in mind, Allen gestured for Leena to place the oil lamp on his right.

After she lit up the lamp, the soft glow of the oil lamp gave the chamber an eerie feeling.

After everything was done, the Scott siblings returned to the coffin and prepared to open it.

Creak~

Together, they lifted the coffin lid.

Then, they immediately moved the coffin lid to the side and gently placed it on the ground. They took care not to damage the Devil Flower so that it would not release any poisonous gas.

Then, all of them hurriedly lay down before looking into the coffin.

This way, they could avoid any potential mechanisms or poisonous gases inside the coffin.

They waited silently for more than ten seconds, but there was still no movement. After confirming that there were no poisonous gases or mechanisms, they stood up again. Then, the group walked over to the coffin and looked inside.

But when they saw what was inside of the coffin, everyone widened their eyes in shock.
