They had to take the Brave Rapids ride at 11:19.
Wu Jin fed the exchange voucher into the machine and soon obtained a single ticket. The ticket time: 12:05.
Wu Jin was stunned.
At the entrance to the channel, Wei Shi gestured silently.
Jingyi would arrive in less than 5 minutes.
Wu Jin waited another minute.
He used another exchange voucher.
Ticket time: 12:06.
The youth suddenly bowed his head.
His mind was buzzing with thoughts. The passage of time in the pyramid was the same as real time. They would have to wait 11 hours for the next correct time for the Brave Rapids, but based on the design of the instances, that was impossible. Unless time went against the current––
Time going backwards.
Wu Jin’s shoulders stiffened.
The Ferris Wheel moved backwards in time because the pointers didn’t rotate while the clock surface moved clockwise. In other words, manipulating the clock itself allowed them to modify the time. If he wanted to reverse the time for this clock––
Wu Jin thought of the first clue from the clerical temple.
The priest had added water to the water clock container.
The water level rose, and time reversed.
“!!!” Wu Jin quickly tossed the rest of the exchange vouchers from the <Book of the Dead> to the big boss. Then, he scooped up half a cup of river water with a military cup, hung it on his waist, rolled up his sleeves, and climbed up along the wall to the water clock at the top of the secret chamber.
The previous climbing through the channel had already consumed most of Wu Jin’s physical strength. This journey was very difficult for him, and the most he could do was ensure that he kept up a steady pace. At this time, there was less than three minutes before Jingyi would arrive at the chamber.
Wei Shi’s gaze swept around and he quickly found several stones, preparing to impede teh others to help Wu Jin get more time.
On the chamber wall.
The vivid, lifelike murals on the tomb wall accompanied Wu Jin all the way up.
First, the red crane came to the Nile Valley, leading the king of the land to become the embodiment of the Nile God.
Wu Jin gasped for breath. The wall was steep, and the footholds were thin. It took almost all of his strength to continue climbing. Wu Jin took a look at the top of the water clock, then carried his gear with him and continued up.
Another mural. After his death, the king arrived at the reed plains where the gods were located in a small boat and faced each trial he was given fearlessly.
There was a sudden noise from the channel!
Jingyi made their way up first, followed by Raphael. Wei Shi didn’t say a single word as he kicked a stone down the channel. Ming Yao howled in the corridor, and the 16 year old Wei Shi stood still, holding two arrows between three of his fingers and aiming it straight at the dark exit of the channel.
On the chamber wall.
The mural at the very top. Anubis, the jackal-headed god, took out the heart of the dead for judgement. If it was lighter than a feather, the judged would live forever after death. If it was heavier than a feather, they would become a sacrifice for Anubis.
