Chapter 1065: Chapter 568: So Arrogantly Coming to Dig for Treasure?

They had basically confirmed that the noise from smashing the stone slab had attracted so many poisonous insects and snakes, so Sean Knight and the others decided to be more cautious next time. They left Douglas Cooper, who had volunteered to be a sentry, while the rest went to their tents to rest.

Around midnight, Sean Knight took out the half-human-sized golden statue.

To the naked eye, the golden statue seemed to be cast from a single piece without any crevices, as if it were made in one piece.

But with the enhancement of the Sky Eye, Sean could see a secret door on the front of the statue’s abdomen, which also had a small mechanism to open it.

By pressing the navel of the statue and gently turning it clockwise, he could open this secret door and retrieve the diamond ball inside.

Sean used the Sky Eye once more and found that there was nothing harmful inside the golden statue. He pressed the button, extracting the diamond ball.

The moment the diamond ball was removed, a burst of white light shone inside the dark tent!

However, as soon as the diamond ball was in hand, a vast amount of energy began to enter Sean’s body, and the white light immediately disappeared.

Outside, Lincoln Harrington, who had replaced Douglas, immediately sensed this unusual surge of energy and quickly came to Sean’s tent, asking softly,

"Boss, is everything okay?"

"It’s okay," Sean forced his voice to remain calm, "Keep observing the surroundings. I’m testing something here."

"Alright then," Lincoln could tell there was nothing wrong with Sean’s voice, so he returned to the nearby highterrace to keep watch.

Sean closed his eyes and focused on channeling this energy into his Sky Eye, Jade Pendant space, and then into the meridians and flesh of his entire body.

The energy in the diamond ball was so tremendous that Sean needed to give it his full attention to prevent it from dissipating—if it were to escape, his tent would undoubtedly explode!

To his surprise and delight, Sean received a good deal of information while absorbing the energy.

Gradually, as the information came together, Sean learned about the origins of this city and why there were so many precious metals and utensils.

It turned out that those who had come to establish this city were indeed a faction from ancient Egypt.

Back then, under the rule of the Pharaoh, the people of ancient Egypt were active in Northern Africa, when the desert was not as vast as it is now.

However, due to various factors, a Pharaoh who had been out on a military campaign was betrayed.

The traitor not only cut off the supply of supplies for the Pharaoh’s army but also massacred the Pharaoh’s confidants and seized the King’s City.

This particular Pharaoh was skilled in warfare and quickly quelled the combat, leading his army back to the King’s City to defeat the traitors.

Actually, this tribe that betrayed him had been prepared for some time, and before the reigning Pharaoh could return, they had a portion of their tribe flee with treasures looted from the King’s City along with items bestowed by the gods (the diamond ball), leaving the kingdom’s domain.

Although the Pharaoh suppressed the rebellion, what he ultimately returned to was a King’s City ravaged by destruction and slaughter.

This rebellious tribe traveled east and settled here. At that time, the place was an oasis and very suitable for living.

They built a city here and started a new life.

In the beginning, the tribe’s residents were not wealthy. They had to cultivate the land and start everything from scratch.

To appease the resentment of the tribal residents, the upper echelons of the tribe began to bestow the precious gold and silverwares they had stolen as gifts to the common people.

At the same time, they led the remaining warriors to engage in further combat to obtain more supplies.

Eventually, this city was established, but it only lasted a little over 100 years before succumbing to the drying up of water sources, attacks from other locals, and finally being destroyed in a great sandstorm.

Due to the abundance of quicksand and ceaseless windsand, many who ventured here to explore never returned, and gradually the place became known as dangerous land, with no one daring to come any longer.

The last bit of information Sean picked up was about how the tribe, after building the city, placed most of the looted precious gold and silverware in the Pyramid and the secret chambers on both sides, while using ancient methods for training poisonous creatures, confined poisonous snakes and insects in the secret chambers to protect these offerings originally meant for the gods.

As for the details of the subsequent destruction, those were Sean’s own guesses.

After all, it was clear that a sick lion entering the Lion’s Territory not only fails to develop without making any noise but also tries to steal food from other lions—wasn’t that courting death?

There was no more information, but the energy continued to flow into Sean’s body!

This was the largest amount of energy Sean had accepted in quite some time!

The diamond ball was only the size of a fist, yet the energy inside was so formidable!

This influx of energy brought Sean’s Sky Eye and the energy inside his body to their peak once more. Although there was no breakthrough, it was close.

However, the Jade Space was expanded once more, to a point that Sean didn’t even want to calculate how tremendous it was anymore.

At least now, he could fit anything he wanted without concern.

Moreover, this influx of energy made the space very stable, preventing any issues from carrying too many items.

When Sean stopped absorbing the energy, the sky was already getting light.

Daybreak was near.

He put away the diamond ball—not that it was devoid of energy, but because its energy had reached equilibrium with his own body’s. If he didn’t actively absorb it, the energy within the diamond ball wouldn’t come out on its own.
