After going around a few corners, Rudolf said with some excitement: "We're almost there."
Everyone's spirits were immediately lifted.
It was finally time to arrive and see the Ark of the Covenant.
For this moment, two lives have been sacrificed since entering the maze.
The closer you get to the end, the more careful you have to be.
When Rudolph took the trekking pole and carefully stepped into the center of the final circle, everyone excitedly turned on all the flashlights and shined the beam everywhere.
In the center is a huge circle of about a hundred square meters, surrounded by five-meter-high walls and with only one entrance and exit.
One hundred and sixty tons of gold should be placed here, or at least an Ark of the Covenant, but. . .
It was empty, except for a protruding stone in the center.
"Where's the Ark of the Covenant?
Where's the gold?"
Sneijder looked at it with his flashlight uncertainly.
Indeed, apart from these, the only thing left was dust and air.
We’re all here, let’s go to the end.
Rudolf walked towards the central stone.
Although everyone was a little frustrated, they still walked over.
The stone was carved into its simplest form, square and square, about one meter high and about an arm's length wide.
The surface was covered with dust, just like the ground.
It had accumulated over thousands of years.
Rudolf reached out and wiped the dust off, then blew hard, and there was indeed writing on it.
After so much effort wasted on carving the maze, there must be something to this stone.
Everyone hurriedly helped, regardless of their dirty hands, and worked together to clean the dust on it.
"Hebrew" Rudolph frowned at the sight.
"I'll do it."
Hoffman looked at it.
Yes, Hoffman is a Jew, and this nation attaches great importance to this language.
Hebrew is one of the oldest languages.
It was once lost, but was later restored through the efforts of the Jews.
It is indeed a miracle that a language that has been extinct for more than two thousand years can be restored.
Which is something to be thankful for, if no one understands it.
Maybe we really need an expert on ancient languages like Soros.
Hoffman read the above line from right to left: "If you are already here, it proves that you are still alive."
Everyone waited for a while, and Reger couldn't help but ask: "Where's the back?"
"There is no back..."
Hoffman replied helplessly: "That's all."
If you are already here, it means you are still alive. . .
Everyone's expressions were very strange.
They found something very ridiculous.
What was written on it was simply nonsense.
It took a lot of hard work to get here.
This is what I got.
Cheng Qianxun smiled bitterly: "What the hell is this?
It might as well be more useful to put a roll of toilet paper on it."
"Toilet paper will oxidize over time.
So we use stones to engrave words on it."

Sneijder's serious look makes him feel more black humor.
You're right, Rudolf, who came here just to read this piece of nonsense, said to Hoffman: "Read it twice more to see if it's a guessing game, or it contains a password or something."
After reading it back and forth several times, Hoffman came to the conclusion: "There is no password.
Looking at each word separated by letters, and reading it backwards, there is no password."
What are the words on this stone?
Is it just to tease them?
This joke is too big. . .
I'm really speechless.
"What the hell?"
Mullen, who had just lost his teammate, was so angry that he couldn't be more angry and raised his feet bitterly.
He kicked the stone hard.
But the stone remains motionless, holding this profound nonsense there, and it will not rot for another thousand years or so.
It's so ironic, a huge project, a complicated maze, and some mechanisms.
Is it just to protect this nonsense?
"Okay" Cheng Qianxun smiled bitterly and said to the sky: "The person who engraved this sentence, whether it is Satan or a god, a human or something else, he has won."
"What's wrong?"
Malen kicked out two more kicks in a vented tone: "The person who got this stone is..."
"Genius" Cheng Qianxun quickly interrupted Ma Lun's words loudly.
She looked at Ma Lun who was a little irritable with stern eyes: "This sentence is true.
We are lucky if we can see it.
It proves that We are still alive.
As long as we are alive, there is nothing to complain about.”
Maren was stunned for a moment, and then his angry mind calmed down.
If Satan was deliberately teasing them, the curse words he hadn't uttered just now might have angered Satan who was watching their joke.
Swearing has no effect.
Mullen said helplessly to the darkness above: "Yes, we should be thankful that we can see these words."
What should happen next?
Hoffman looked around: "Should we go back the way we came?"
"Besides going back the way you came, do you have another way?"
Rudolph also looked helpless.
The way back is much faster than when we came, that's the common truth.
It often feels very long the first time you walk, but when you walk the second time, it doesn’t feel as long as before and the time is shortened.
Walking past the place where Lance died, the boulder was still standing abruptly on the ground.
The blood stain had flowed three meters away and was absorbed by a small amount of dust on the ground.
Continue walking for a while and reach the trap.
Perhaps it was a mechanism setting, but at this time the previously hanging stone slabs were lifted up again, blocking all the stone pillars from the ground.
The road at this time was very solid, so everyone walked on the stone slabs and held the walls on both sides tightly with their arms.
If any mechanism was touched again and the stone slabs hung down, they would not be stabbed to death.
Gross's body is underneath.
Soon his body will weather, rot, and finally turn into a skeleton.
After a while, when the muscles and skin, including tendons and ligaments, that connect the bones are all rotten, he will also be like other people.
Like a corpse, the bones were scattered on the ground.
The white bones are covered with dust and lie underneath forever, waiting for the years that continue to flow to turn all the bones into dust.
For this line of work, they paid the price with the lives of two teammates.
Nothing is worth it, fate is like this, if you don't try, you may fail.

If they really encounter the Ark this time, then they will win.
But, there is no but.
Everyone returned to the original entrance of the maze in a frustrated mood, and the stone slab in front blocked the way out.
Rudolph and others began to take out their own explosives and began to calculate how much they would need to explode.
Although there are only seven team members left, there are still enough people, and Cheng Qianxun turns to focus on other things.
I saw Gordon holding a flashlight and shining it everywhere, from the rock walls to the stone walls of the maze.
"What are you looking for?"
Cheng Qianxun asked, "Is there any other way?"
"Maybe there is."
Gordon continued to shine, and the flashlight returned to the surrounding mountain walls, not missing every section: "There is always air here.
As long as there is air circulation, there should be a passage."
Yes, after entering, the entrance was sealed.
Although the space here is large, it doesn't feel suffocating at all, and sometimes you can feel a breeze.
Rudolf listened.
He put his index finger into his mouth, soaked it and stretched it out in front of his eyes.
After a while he said: "There is indeed air circulation."
"Maybe on the top of the head, maybe just some small mouse holes."
Hoffman still suggested blasting the stone slabs.
"Exploding the stone slabs may cause landslides."
Rudolph thought for a while and said, "Gordon and I will go search nearby.
You guys wait a moment."
"If we look for him together, there's no point in staying here."
Regel's words were recognized by everyone.
Anyway, blowing up the door is very simple.
Just put the explosives, light the fire and wait for the explosion.
Three or four rays of light explored the darkness, searching the wall inch by inch.
After walking only about ten meters, the light stopped at one place, and there was a pattern painted on the slightly moss-covered wall.
Gordon took out the climbing rope and used the bundled thick rope as a rag and brush.
He rubbed it back and forth a few times to make the mark more obvious.
Hoffman recognized it at a glance: "Inverted Pentagram" The six-pointed star is the Star of King David, so what is this inverted pentagram?
Maybe to the East, the six- and five-pointed ones have no meaning at all, but Westerners are very familiar with them.
Reger explained: "If the pentagram is turned upside down, it points the human spirit downward, that is, hell.
It is an evil demonic symbol and also represents Satan."
After thinking for a while, Cheng Qianxun walked up and stretched out his hand to fumble around the pattern, which was about half a meter wide.
"No," Hoffman shouted, and said to Cheng Qianxun seriously: "This inverted pentagram is said to be very powerful.
It is often used as a totem and formation to summon devils."
"It doesn't matter."
Cheng Qianxun continued to fumble on the pattern confidently: "I once swore to worship Pluto forever, so if my life is to be taken away, I only hope it is Lucifer, even if he sneers at my humble life.
If this sign is a symbol of Satan, then it would be most appropriate for me to touch it.”
When she touched the center, she seemed to feel a slight looseness.
So she pressed it and shook it: "This seems to be loose."
"I'll do it."
Gordon walked up and raised his eyebrows at Cheng Qianxun: "I've died several times, what do I have to be afraid of?"
After Cheng Qianxun thought for a moment, he stepped aside.
Gordon pressed his face against the mountain wall and looked at it: "There seems to be a gap."

He tried it with the fingertips of both hands.
If it didn't work, he took out a small chisel from his bag and carefully opened it like opening the lid of a metal cookie jar.
Pry open the middle.
A pentagonal stone slab was removed, and a small tab appeared inside.
"I knew Satan wouldn't cut off our escape."
Cheng Qianxun became happy.
She stretched out her hand through the small ring and was about to pull it, but stopped and said to the people around her: "Get out of the way first. " In order to prevent another trap, everyone cooperated and moved back five meters away.
"You also get out of the way first.
I can't pull you anymore before I call you."
Cheng Qianxun said to Gordon, and Gordon obeyed.
After everyone had moved to a safer position, Cheng Qianxun pulled the ring hard
