More of the living beetles eventually returned to the underground palace, crawling back through the hole they had emerged from.
Before long, calm was restored to the campsite. Not a trace was left of the bodies of those people, only scattered tools remained.
After arriving in Aswan, Sean Knight and his team finally let down their guard.
Aswan was still lively. In the distance, one could see cars arriving one after another, and some people were even coming by foot.
All these people had heard about the appearance of the relic and wanted to try their luck before the government sealed the area, hoping to strike it rich.
Sean Knight and his team's car had attracted a lot of attention as it approached from the direction of the relic, especially now that the car was in such a state; many were watching it.
However, no one came over to ask questions. Sean even heard some people whispering, guessing whether they had run into a sandstorm to have the paint on the car end up like this.
