I'm trapped in a cube

"Let me do it."

The group leader came to the front alone and looked warily into the depths of the tomb passage.

The sound of flapping wings got closer and closer, and a completely black insect suddenly flew into the lighting range.

Immediately afterwards, dense beetles like black clouds swarmed up, but the leader's expression only changed slightly, and he raised his hand, and a black rune flew out from his palm.

The black runes were still in thin sheets when they first flew out. When they encountered the air, they expanded rapidly, and an ink-like shadow suddenly pierced the runes and came out.

It was a giant eagle that was still growing in size. Its body could not even be accommodated in the tomb passage. It could only squeeze in the center with its wings curled up.

However, it seemed to realize that it could no longer grow in size, so it stopped growing after blocking the tomb passage.

The giant black eagle looked at the incoming swarm of insects, opened its mouth slightly, and a strong wind rolled out of its mouth.

The blade-like black wind blade rolled up the terrifying-looking insect swarm into pieces.

The menacing swarm of insects had nowhere to escape, and dead insect corpses fell from the sky, covering the entire passage.

The beetles were not endless. They became fewer and fewer under the attack of the black giant eagle. In the end, only a few were left, posing no threat.

Soon, no more insects flew into the tomb passage.

Seeing that the battle was decided, the leader closed his open palms, clenched his fists, and the giant eagle disappeared in an instant.

After the dust settled, the group leader turned to look at Namir: "How about it, Mr. Namir, are you satisfied with this handling?"

The tone was full of respect.

But Namir's expression was a little strange, he was looking thoughtfully at the palm of the group leader.

Namir came back to his senses only after hearing the group leader's question.

"Of course I'm satisfied."

Seemingly noticing that Namir was a little dazed, the group leader asked with concern: "What's wrong? Mr. Namir?"

"It's okay, the leader's skills surprised me a bit."

Everyone stepped on the thick insect corpses and continued to move forward, but Namir remained silent along the way, completely losing his previous chatter.

When faced with various traps, they just talked about how to deal with them and no longer told the history of these traps.

"The main tomb is ahead." Namir said calmly: "There are no traps here. Go forward boldly."

The group members quickly entered the main tomb chamber, but Namir stood in the temple in front of the main tomb, looking at the vivid murals above.

The group leader stood behind him and looked at the murals with him.

The two of them said nothing, each thinking.

After a while, Namir broke the silence: "Go find whatever you want, don't be wary of me."

The group leader was obviously very surprised when he heard Namir's words.

"You know what I'm looking for?"

Namir sighed: "I told you, I can walk around the pyramid with my eyes closed at the age of five. There is nothing I don't know. Even the experts who study the pyramids don't understand me."

He walked around a few times, pointed at a messy mural at random, and said to the group leader: "It should be there, go and take a look."

The group leader had a look of disbelief on his face and walked towards the direction Namir pointed with hesitation, and came to the mural.

He tentatively put his hand on it, and sure enough, the mural changed wonderfully.

Those chaotic patterns began to become neat, and then burst into shadows, jumping like a slide.

Various different shadows flashed by, and the patterns followed the shadows and jumped onto the leader's arm, and they were densely arranged on the leader's arm.

Looking at the mural again, it has become unremarkable, and the messy patterns have disappeared.

"So it's like this, is it so simple?" Namir suddenly spoke behind the leader, startling him: "You gained something last time you came here? No wonder you spent so much money to treat me."

The leader looked at the arms covered with patterns, nodded, and said guiltily: "Mr. Namier, I didn't mean to hide it."

Namir didn't care, but looked at these patterns with nostalgia: "Do you know what this is?"

"Some kind of relic, right? A very powerful relic." The leader guessed.

Namier shook his head, showed a meaningful smile, and began to ramble again: "This is hieroglyphics, the earliest hieroglyphics of mankind."

"Purely using patterns as text, very direct ideograms, only need simple strokes and outlines to specifically outline the appearance characteristics of the object to be expressed."

"So the moment you see it, you know what it's expressing."

"It's so beautiful." Namir even stepped forward, raised the group leader's arm in front of his eyes, and observed eagerly.

The group leader knew he was wrong and did not resist.

"You said they are relics, what's the price?" After observing for a moment, Namir let go of the group leader's arm and asked curiously.

Upon hearing this, the group leader raised his hand and began to read out what was written on it word by word.

However, every word he pronounced was completely wrong.

"I probably understand." Namir said with some regret: "It seems that you no longer recognize them."

"There should be more over there, you can keep putting them away." Namir pointed to a mural in the distance.

"Mr. Namier, don't you take some?" the group leader asked puzzledly: "As compensation for my concealment of information, this is a very powerful relic that can greatly increase our strength."

Namir waved his hand: "My mission is to bring you in. I have received the money. I don't need it. Moreover, the price is too high. I don't want to forget these words."

"..."

The leader simply couldn't understand that he didn't want such a powerful relic?

But at this time, Namir made another request:

"I can help you explore the entire pyramid for free, but there is a condition. You have to upload all these texts for research, is that okay?" Namier looked into the leader's eyes and asked sincerely.

"good."

After agreeing, the group leader noticed that Mr. Namier smiled with relief, as if he had gained more from this trip to the pyramid than himself.

Incomprehensible.

Under the leadership of Namier, the hunter group explored the entire pyramid group. The group leader also realized that he no longer wanted to keep it to himself and distributed many hieroglyphics to the group members.

Namir just smiled and continued to happily explain the history of these words to the group members, like a competent tour guide.

"This round-headed cross-like pattern is also called a T-shaped ankh. Some people still call it a knotted handle. It represents eternal life, but the person who created these words did not obtain eternal life."

"However, these words were carved on the stone slab and will remain forever. Haha, how can there be eternity? Do you think there is?"

Just like when he first came to the pyramid, Mr. Namier was talking to himself, but the group members did not respond and just looked at the words they had obtained excitedly.

I don’t know if I’m not interested or if I just don’t understand anymore.

After returning to the monitoring station, the hunter group uploaded the hieroglyphs as agreed. Namier helped the researchers classify and define the hieroglyphs, and was named the discoverer.

This powerful relic is known as such.
