Chapter 525 Unrest In Cygypt


    With word from the Grandmaster, everyone unhurriedly made themselvesfortable in preparation for the long flight.


    Indeed, there was no point causing havoc on a flight several feet high in the air.


    Everything will be handled when they get to Cygypt.


    With that, the disciples closed their eyes again, in deep meditation. And in no time, the ne was on the runway and soon in the air.


    But unlike the calm state they found themselves in, several others far, far away, were now on the verge of losing it.

    –Deserts In Cygypt–


    . n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om


    The atmosphere was foul and heated, as hot as the boiling weather. Many were sweating buckets but dared not move an inch. The famous desert sites that were once open to the public, now had several signs stopping tourists from going in any further.


    For how long? For how long will the tourists be prohibited? Indefinite. Many local tour guides and those used to the desert regions, could only scratch their heads in confusion when talking about the matter in local pubs. That was always the topic of discussion during these days. Men with head wraps and light Cygyptian attire, would gather and speak of their strange findings about the matter. The foreigners also had their interest piqued when listening to gossip on the matter. "It''s strange… I tell yah. Why… just this morning, I saw several foreign soldiers board their trucks and head to the deserts." "Yes. And our local military forces are also with them." "What do you think it is? Can it be that some criminals and Tomb Raiders are trapped in an ancient tomb and are refusing to go out, choosing to hold these treasures hostage since they know they are surrounded?"


    "Good guess, I think so too. There must be criminal activity somewhere in the deserts, enough to cause so many army forces to storm into the deserts." "Hmhm… It seems that every day, more and more forces enter the deserts to handle the matter."


    "Ahh. I wonder what it will take to get the inside scoop on what''s going on. Normally, as a local tour guide with my ears to the ground, I should have been able to get even a hint of what is truly going on over there. But I''m so shocked that not even a bird''s whispering tweet hase my way"


    "Indeed, they are keeping a tight lock and key on the matter." Many locals and tourists looked at each other with tactful eyes, before staring at the desert''s many entryway locations. How to get the scoop? …


    Vrmmmm~


    The sounds of several vehicles gliding along the sun-kissed sands echoed across the space. A battalion of military forces was now driving under the scorching sun amidst the vast expanse of Cygyptian Desert. They wore full ck protective gear above their dark bluish camouge attire. In the vehicles, the air was thick with tension, with no one uttering a single word until they finally reached their destination. Bam!~


    The door mmed hard after thest person stepped out. Take a good hard look around. It was like a barrack here now, with over 7000 men from around the world stationed around the incredible archeological site where the ancient tomb of Hotanziy buried underneath the sands. Now The Britannia Museum wasn''t the only one in on this. Theirpetitors were all here with the support of their respective governments, fighting to im whatever treasures Hotanzi left behind. They thought it would be an easy matter, but soon found out that there was more to this tomb than meets the eye. What was going on here? Why was everyone they sent in dead? The only ones who have ever made it out alive were the 2 who first escaped when the Britannia Museum first arrived. Only Lieutenant Harvey and Dr. Ashaku had ever made it out alive. Everyone else who ever stepped in never returned, making them feel they should either be dead, or unconscious. But with the screams they heard before their feed suddenly turned static, they were afraid it was the former.


    Dammit! Several military leaders cursed, knowing they couldn''t very well throw bombs and missiles into the tomb. Hey… wouldn''t things be easier if they could do so?


    In the history of archeology, never has there been such a hard-to-break-in tomb or ancient ruin as this. The person who designed the tomb deserves some des because even with all the military forces and powerful modern-day archeologists they brought over, no one has been able to make any progress further than what the Britannia Museum had done on their first time breaking in. Once they step into a certain room, all hell breaks loose, leaving nothing to go on but the terrible screams of theirrades below. It was terrible! At first, they didn''t believe Ashaku and Harvey''s words of there being a sand Desert animal in there. But now they do. IT must be a terrible worm animal that manages to bore holes through into the tomb underground and has been living in there since. Who knows… maybe it had a giant family and n, multiplying themselves over the decades. Science was amazing. Just because the modern era has so many achievements, doesn''t mean they have discovered everything in the world. Now and then, insect species and new animals are discovered all over the world. Sometimes, new sea animals also emerge, and other times, it''s new nts that are discovered, alongside new chemicals and elements that get added to the Periodic Table. If Mankind knew everything already, don''t you think they would have long gone into the Gctic era? Do you think they would''ve sessfully created Teleportation devices and even flying vehicles and ships that could travel at the speed of light? All in all, it was not so uneptable to specte that it should be an unknown species causing havoc down below.


    Since it can drill holes into the tomb, it must also have a way to keep itself well-fed.


    Of course, they might be wrong, and it might instead be a new nt type that causes deep hallucinations, making their men shoot themselves to death instead. However, since Ashaku said it was an animal, then it must be an animal. But how to stop it? Several military Generals and Commanders stared at the tomb''s entrance with boiling eyes. "Come on, prepare the next team! I don''t believe that with our advanced gadgets and technology, we won''t be able to win this battle!"
