Chapter 495 Awakened!

\'For daddy\'s sake, they better be right!\'

Wheeeee~

The winds blew the sands across the land severally, only heightening the tense atmosphere even more.

What to expect? What to see? Everyone hoped Ashaku was right.

\'Almost there.\'

Pushing his glasses back in, Dr. Miguel looked at his watch, confirming they were within the final minutes before the sun stood directly above the center stone within the formation.

Right now, they could still see a tiny bit of the rock\'s shadow protruding to the left.

What they wanted was for its shadow to be entirely focused directly underneath the rock.

Feeling his muscles tense and his heart rate accelerated, Miguel hastily opened his water bottle, wetting his parched throat.

"Now!"

Ashaku yelled, emphasizing the estimated few minutes they had were over.

Now? Was it now? Everyone looked at each other, standing back from the formation as far as they could.

Then, it happened.

Zgr~

A slight grinding sound was heard, and Ashaku rushed forward to the stone, touching it hastily. Miguel was one step behind him. And soon, both looked at each other, laughing excitedly.

"Old boy, it\'s a dial!"

"Bahahhahah~... It\'s an ancient dia! Damn! You were right! The sun and the shadows are the key! But I\'m guessing we don\'t have much time anymore, right?"

"Yes! We must find the correct dial pattern before the sun creates protruding shadows from the rock!"

Everyone immediately understood that if they missed their chance today, they would only have to come back tomorrow around the same time to do it all over.

But who says they will have the luxury of being the only teams here?

Haven\'t you heard that many organizations and Museum representatives and teams have already arrived in Cygypt?

If they don\'t get ahead of them now, you best believe those bastards will be here to pry their corner and make things 10 times harder for them.

Fighting off 1 or 2 teams at once isn\'t an issue

The problem comes from fighting over 20 and more at once.

Even though their Britannia Museum organization was the top power in their archeology, tomb-raiding world, it wasn\'t advisable to go against everyone at once.

Placing her hands on her hips, Eldora was even more panicked and annoyed by their slowness.

Yes. She was still afraid of Ashaku, but her fear of the opportunity slipping by was more than her fear of Ashaku.

"Then what the hell are you old geezers waiting for? You still have the time to laugh when you know we have only a few minutes before our window of chance closes?"

Eldora had long forgotten she was doubtful of Ashaku\'s shadow theory not too long ago.

She didn\'t think she should apologize for threatening him with her father\'s existence since she was only raising a valuable point.

Hmph!

Who knows if he will also get it right next time?

Eldora jeered at the group, hurrying them to think harder.

Of course, her yelling didn\'t stop just with Miguel and Ashaku, since she dragged the other scholars and archeologists into this matter too.

"What are you all looking at? Don\'t just stand there and watch the 2 of them solve everything! Get in there and prove your money\'s worth!"

Everyone was inwardly annoyed, feeling very insulted since although they were standing a few steps behind the duo, they were still very much involved in the mystery-solving, as they spoke with the duo from where they stood.

Don\'t you see their team\'s population?

If everyone were to crowd around a single stone, do you think anything would get done?

Please!

Haven\'t you heard the saying that there can\'t be too many cooks handling one pot on a fire?

They can give their input while giving space to the duo around the stone.

As for Ashaku and Miguel, they completely treated Eldora like air.

I can\'t see you, so I can\'t hear you.

(V-V)

"Old boy, Yara. The clue is still in the name!"

"The name? Well, in the time of Hotanzi the 7th, the name Yara was the 5th most recorded name, used by both males and females."

"Yes. But don\'t forget that it was also used by sailors as--"

"Ah!" Miguel\'s eyes broadened at an alarming rate.

How can his mind skip over this?

In many parts of the world, pirate sayings vary greatly.

For example, their ancient Britannia pirates used phrases like <Cleave Him to the Brisket> meaning to kill a man by cutting across his chest from the shoulders to the stomach.

Pirates had phrases for everything, including directions.

Recalling it now, if a pirate in Hotanzi\'s era yelled out the phrase, <Yara the Galleys>, it meant they should first direct the shift North, then South, then North again.

"Guys, the shadows are starting to show noticeable deviation." One of the scholars kindly reminded.

Panic momentarily surged the hearts of many, as they now found their bodies covered in goosebumps despite the scorching weather.

And then, it happened again.

Zr~

A slight grinding sound echoed out once more, causing their hearts to dangle on a lone string with worry.

Has it closed? Has their moment of opportunity closed? No way.

They still have a minute more according to estimations.

So what was that? Ashaku carefully wiggled the dial ston, seeing that it was still movable, but very hard to move compared to earlier.

"The mechanism is slowly closing from within."

Hiss~

Everyone sucked in their breath, looking at the duo anxiously.

Come on, guys.... come on!

"Yara the Galleys." Miguel murdered with a struck expression.

Excluding Eldora, the military soldiers, and a few of the locals, everyone else instantly understood what Miguel and Ashaku were driving at.

"Yara the Galleys.... YARA THE GALLEYS"

Gritting their teeth, the duo turned the hard-to-move dial as fast as they could --- North, South, North.

Bam!

They collapsed on the sandy floor, gasping with relief and anticipation, after hearing several more grinding noises echo from the other surrounding stones in the formation.

Hahahahhahahahah~

Both looked at each other tactfully and called others to help hold the surrounding stones.

There were 5 surrounding stones. These don\'t rely on the sun and shadows, but should also have a time frame for when they should be turned.

Well, the sooner the better.

"Remember, we do it together... shame direction, same time."

North, South, North.

~Zrrrrrgh!

Everyone standing within the formation, felt the rounds shake more and more with every passing second.

"The sand is vibrating. Everyone get out!"

Driving for cover, Miguel looked back, only to see a Pentagon hole form on the surface.

That\'s it!

The tomb\'s entrance.

Everyone showed a triumphant expression, breathing heavily at the side, while waiting for the entrance to open fully.

Yes.

Everything seemed fine and great, but what they didn\'t know was that their intrusion had awoken a powerful being in a tomb far far below.

Roar!~
