Entertainment Secrets: Playing the role of Qilin, Mimi loves it so much
Chapter 216: Golden Statue, Mysterious Map
Zhang Dada was stunned for a moment and asked, "What are you doing?"
Ye Bai looked at him with a smile.
Zhang Dada said impatiently, "If you tell me to run, I'll run!" He was about to walk away when Ye Bai slapped him and sent him flying. He got up in a panic, rubbing his head and saying, "Damn it, you hit me again!"
Ye Bai said, "Run."
Zhang Dada hummed reluctantly, then slowly took his steps and ran around the statue three times. Ye Bai said, "Speed up! Sprint!"
Zhang Dada angrily said, "If you ask me to risk my life, I will."
Ye Bai said: "If you don't obey, I will send you to the Golden Knight."
"Oh my god!" Zhang Dada immediately became scared and rushed back while muttering, "No, brother, I was wrong! Please forgive me!" He ran back to Ye Bai.
Ye Bai said: "One more time."
Zhang Dada roared through gritted teeth and charged towards the statue again. This time, he pushed with all his might, running fifty meters in one breath before finally collapsing on the ground in exhaustion.
Ye Bai applauded and praised, "Very good!"
"Nonsense, this young master is gifted!" Zhang Dada gasped, "What exactly do you want me to do? Tell me quickly."
Ye Bai pointed at the statue and said, "Do you see the gold?"
"I see!"
Ye Bai added: "Those gold are living things."
"Living creature?" Zhang Dada was surprised. "What do you mean by 'living creature'?"
"The Golden Knights used their own flesh and blood to cultivate a large number of insect eggs, which, after hatching, bred various poisonous insects. The Golden Knights sealed these insects in gold and used them to control ordinary people and make them serve them. The mother of these poisonous insects is this Golden Witch."
Zhang Dada's eyes widened in shock: "So she really is dead! I thought she was just acting!"
Yang Mi said: "But since she is a woman, how could she kill those ordinary people?"
Ye Bai explained, "The Golden Witch was created by the Golden Knight. She was only in her infant state at the time and couldn't use any extraordinary skills. If she wants to gain extraordinary powers, she must grow up first."
"Then this statue..."
Ye Bai said, "Before she died, she transformed herself into a golden coffin and hid herself in the tomb, nourishing the swarm of poisonous insects with her own flesh and blood. After her death, the swarm of poisonous insects also died, leaving only this golden statue to accompany her corpse, guarding the ancient castle and the ancient city."
Everyone was horrified to hear this.
Yang Mi murmured, "It's terrible."
Zhang Dada rubbed his hands excitedly: "Hurry up and open the lid of the Golden Witch's coffin! I want to see what treasures are inside."
Yang Mi held him back: "Stop messing around! There must be a lot of traps in the Golden Witch's coffin!"
"No matter if it's a mechanism or not, there's always a way to open it, right, Brother Ye?" Zhang Dada looked at Ye Bai eagerly, "Let's work together to break it and get the treasure!"
Ye Bai laughed, but didn't say anything. He walked over to a pile of gold, silver, and jewelry. He picked up a round, crystal-clear diamond ring and said, "This is platinum. It can be used to make jewelry."
Yang Mi came over to take a look: "Wow, so beautiful." She then looked at the other jewelry and said, "It looks very valuable."
Ye Bai smiled and said, "It's quite valuable."
Zhang Dada urged, "Then dig it out quickly and sell it."
Yang Mi shook her head and sighed, "Forget it. It's been so many years, it's rusted into a lump of iron. I should look for other valuables, or if the Golden Knight has put something precious in it, so I can open it."
Ye Bai said, "Then start looking."
So the two of them divided the work and started searching.
They walked around the golden statue and found a line of English written on the wall in front of the statue, which should be ancient Egyptian text. They looked at it for a long time but could not recognize what it was.
Yang Mi wondered: "Isn't this some kind of curse language?"
Zhang Dada curled his lips and said, "It's more practical to find the treasure as soon as possible. If the Golden Knight finds it, the three of us will be in trouble." They continued to study the texts, but it became more and more difficult to read them, so they finally decided to give up for the time being.
Ye Bai said, "Let's take a look at this sculpture first. Maybe we can find a clue."
He bent down and touched the statue's right leg. It felt warm and cool to the touch. He traced the lines along the leg and soon found something that looked like a mechanism. He pressed it, and with a click, the entire statue suddenly moved.
The statue's right arm rose. Ye Bai quickly retreated behind the pillar, staring at the sculpture warily.
The sculpture's right arm slowly rises into the air, and then a piece of black cloth slides down from the right cuff.
The black cloth covered the golden statue, gradually revealing the contents inside - inside was a painting! A totem painting made of gold!
Yang Mi exclaimed in amazement: "Golden painting?"
"Yes, it's a golden painting." Ye Bai reached out and touched the black cloth, saying, "This should be something the Golden Knight left here. I guess it has something to do with the Golden Witch."
"Come and take a look." Yang Mi urged.
Zhang Dada curled his lips in disinterest, "I knew this guy had bad intentions."
"Shut up." Ye Bai glanced at him, "I'll teach you a lesson after I break this situation."
Zhang Dada shut up angrily.
Yang Mi was also busy, squatting in front of the sculpture and observing it carefully.
"This should be a snake!" said Yang Mi.
"No, it's not just a snake," Ye Bai said. "The snake's head is upright, but its tail hangs horizontally. Did you notice that there's a groove at its neck, not the snake's spine? So I guess the snake is coiled."
Yang Mi seemed to understand. "No wonder I felt something was wrong just now. Was it coiled up? Then why is its head facing downwards?"
Ye Bai said, "Because the snake's neck grows inversely, its body is reversed. The so-called coiling probably means it's habitually coiled on the ground."
Yang Mi said, "Oh, I see. But why is the snake's head upside down? Could it be... that it was chopped off?"
"Well, that makes sense."
After Ye Bai finished saying this, he ignored Yang Mi's expression and reached out to grab the snake's head.
He exerted a little force and the snake's head was pulled off and fell to the floor.
Zhang Dada was startled: "Hey, hey, hey, what are you doing?!"
Yang Mi asked anxiously, "What do you want to do?"
Ye Bai said: "The things in here are not living things."
Yang Mi was stunned.
Ye Bai took out a dagger and cut open the snake's skull.
The snake's head was indeed empty. There was nothing inside except a few teeth. However, there was a piece of parchment scroll sandwiched between the teeth.
"Golden Key!" Yang Mi exclaimed in surprise, "This is a fragment of the Golden Key."
"What is the golden key?" Zhang Dada asked in confusion.
Yang Mi translated: "The treasure left behind by the Golden Knight."
