human journey

Chapter 295 The Power of Gold
Just when Sneferu was thinking hard and was helpless, he woke up overnight and found a new awakening ability.Originally, he was a body awakener, but now he is awakening the ability to read, and he is still reading high temperature!
Sneferu immediately became the god of soul in Mingming to help him, bestowing the ability he needed right now.He climbed up the mountain excitedly, ready to use his ability to melt the snow around him. He can heat any object within tens of meters to a high temperature of hundreds of degrees in a short time.

He started from the top of the mountain and heated it down a little bit. A large amount of scalding snow water was left along the mountain body, which accelerated the melting of snow.He checked the mountain while it was melting, and time was running out, because the temperature on the mountain was still very low, and the water would freeze soon, affecting his search.And he doesn't know when it will snow, making his efforts in vain.

Time passed by every minute and every second, but Sneferu still found nothing, and a thick layer of ice had already formed on the top of the mountain.His ability to read is almost exhausted, and the snow that has been cleared is not even one-tenth. It seems that he can only give up first, and continue when his ability to read is restored.

In this way for several days, Sneferu came to the halfway up the mountain, and he finally made a discovery.It was a small cave in the middle of the hillside. The entrance of the cave was a very regular circle, with a large number of cracks extending all around. It didn't seem to be formed naturally, but something was punched into it.

The opening of the cave is not large, and it is filled with ice and snow, and it is impossible to find it without removing the snow that covers its surface.After melting the tens of meters of snow inside, you will find that it leads straight to the inside of the mountain. The cave wall is very regular and smooth, and it does not seem to be formed naturally at all.

How can such a special cave not excite Sneferu, he is very sure that the things in the cave are the key to his door to eternal life!
But how to get in has become a problem. The diameter of the hole is only the size of a washbasin, and even children may not be able to climb in, let alone adults like them.

Is it by digging?They tried to expand the hole bit by bit, but with the bronze tools in their hands, even if they were strong enough, the tools couldn't bear it.The stone on this mountain is extremely hard, and it is on the mountainside with no supplies. It is unknown how long it will take to complete such a project.

Food is a huge problem. They need to go to far places on foot to find food, so that several Awakened subordinates were sent out to find food. They can bear it for a short time, but after a long time, the subordinates and themselves will definitely not be able to bear it.

So what to do?Suddenly he realized that God had given him the power of mind heating not only to melt snow, but also to heat rocks.As an awakened person who leads people to liberate themselves from suffering, and with decades of life experience, he knows a technique for mining stone.That is to bake the stone wall with fire for a long time to raise the temperature by hundreds of degrees, and then pour a lot of cold water on it, and the stone wall will crack and fall off.

The principle is to take advantage of the uneven texture of the stone wall and the different coefficients of thermal expansion and contraction of each part. Sudden cooling at high temperatures will cause different materials to peel off from each other.

Sneferu doesn't know the principle, but as long as he knows how to use it, it will be fine.He used high temperature to heat up the cave wall in front of him, and it quickly reached a high temperature of several hundred degrees. He immediately threw a lot of ice and snow on it to quickly cool down the surface.

The crackling sound of "Kacha, Kacha" continued to sound, and a large number of cracks appeared on the stone wall, and many stones fell off from the mountain.Sneferu threw the fallen stones out, and continued to do so. When his ability to read was exhausted, a large hole with a diameter of more than one meter and a depth of seven or eight meters had been opened.

Sneferu did not leave, but rested in the cave. Anyway, he had dry food on him, so he could eat snow when he was thirsty.After his mind ability recovered, he continued to do the same job again.

After several days in a row, he finally came to a cave along the small passage, which happened to be at the center of gravity of the entire mountain.The volume of the cave is less than that, and the overall shape is a regular spherical shape. The bottom is very flat, and it does not seem to be formed naturally.

Sneferu hurriedly lit a torch to illuminate the cave, which was about four or five meters in diameter, empty and empty.He panicked and searched carefully, but still couldn't find it.

Could it be that after spending so long and experiencing so much, the joy was all in vain?But this cave is indeed special. Why did God guide him here?

Sneferu stood in the middle of the cave, thinking hard, and he didn't dare to damage the surrounding stone walls, for fear of causing dissatisfaction of the gods, but the place was really bare and there was nothing there.

At this time, he suddenly felt that the gold jewelry hanging on his chest seemed to be "heating". He was overjoyed and quickly picked it up to observe, but the gold jewelry didn't look abnormal, it just seemed brighter and renewed.

At the same time, the gold jewelry on his arm was also heating up, but Sneferu also had the ability to sense heat. He found that these gold items did not really increase in temperature, but released a kind of heat that his body could sense. energy.

Not only is the gold releasing energy, the bronze weapon he carries is also releasing energy, but it is much weaker than gold.

Sneferu has been carrying these items for a long time, and there has never been any abnormality. However, changes have appeared in this cave. Obviously, this cave and this mountain make the metal release energy.

Sneferu was very excited. He felt that he had discovered the secret of eternal life under the guidance of God. The energy released by gold would definitely strengthen the body and make it break the limit of lifespan.

As for whether this is the case, you only need to stay here for a long time to know.For this reason, he also brought his gold products, hung them all over his body, and sat in the center of the cave. He found that the energy released by gold in this position is the strongest.

Because they are going to travel far away, they may purchase supplies from other ethnic groups, so each of them brought a lot of gold. This kind of metal that can last forever is common all over the world in the circulating stories, and the fact is also the same.

So now there is a lot of gold hanging on Sneferu's body, covering half of his body. The energy released by the gold makes him feel very comfortable, but that's all, his body has not changed significantly.

Sneferu realized that this kind of change must be subtle and requires long-term accumulation, but in this barren snow-capped mountain, long-term waiting is definitely not enough, and people will go crazy.

And this gold is still too little, if it can cover the whole body, the energy it can receive will be more, but it is difficult to find gold here, so what should I do?

While he was thinking about how to solve these problems, he silently endured the energy released by the gold irradiating his body.After a few days, he felt that his body had indeed become stronger. It was not that it was enhanced by the awakening ability, but that the essence of the body had changed, and even the awakened soul power had become stronger.

Although these changes are minimal, they are real, and it has only been a few days, and there is not enough gold, Sneferu is already very satisfied.

But in the past few days, he hasn't thought of any good way to stay here well and get enough gold at the same time.Even the food was obtained by his men with great difficulty. When they knew that they had to stay here for a long time, they were already very dissatisfied.

You must know that they are all awakened people. Along the way, we have seen the preferential treatment given to awakened people by various ethnic groups. In the past, they must have been able to obtain at least the same status as in ancient country A. They even encountered people who were not awakened, or only weak awakened people. Tribes can also be their gods!
So why stay here and suffer, even if this is indeed a magical cave, it can strengthen the body and prolong life.But Sneferu wouldn't let them use it, and he was stronger than them, so he couldn't grab it even if he wanted to, and this place was too barren, so it was impossible to wait for a long time.

Why doesn't Sneferu understand these truths, but he finally found a way to live longer, so how can he be reconciled to letting him give up, he can only drag on.

However, within two days, one of his subordinates suddenly encountered an earthquake when he was tracking his prey. He was in a snow mountain canyon. its submerged.

In the face of this natural power, even if he was a powerful body awakener, he had no power to resist and died directly.

Another subordinate who was not affected by the avalanche not far away saw the whole process, and while he was secretly grateful, he also had a strong desire to retreat.He doesn't want to suffer here anymore, he wants to be a god of ordinary humans and live a happy life.

After contacting several other subordinates and explaining the situation, they unanimously agreed to leave without saying hello to Sneferu.

He knew what was up when he waited for two days and no one came back, forcing him to get out of the cave and find food himself.

Not long after leaving the mountain, the earthquake struck again, this time far stronger than the previous one, and the shock was so strong that he couldn't even stand up.

Fortunately, the previous earthquake had shaken all the snow from the nearby mountains, so there was no avalanche and no danger to Sneferu.

But the mountain that gave him the hope of immortality suffered in the strong earthquake.Not only was the entrance of the cave blocked by rubble, but also a huge crack opened from the top of the mountain to the foot of the mountain in the middle of its south side, and the original standard pyramid shape of the whole mountain was also changed.

Seeing this, Sneferu's heart skipped a beat. The passage was blocked, but he was still able to get through.But the perfect shape of the entire mountain was destroyed, and there was a huge gap. He worried that the cave could no longer allow the gold to release energy.

In order to verify this, Sneferu first went to replenish food, then returned to the foot of the mountain, preparing to continue digging into the cave, but the earthquake came again.Although this time it was not strong, it reminded him that this earthquake could happen at any time.
