Chapter 176: Transaction (Please Collect and Recommend) Thanks to Zhou Zhongxiaozu for the 10,000 Reward
The three Americans didn't know what expression to use to respond to the doctor's words. Should they express pride? After all, they are very important now. Or should they express sadness? Because this means that Imhotep will kill the three of them no matter what...
"In this case, we have to move faster. As long as we find the Sun Golden Sutra in advance, everything will be fine!" Kai said with a final word.
But Kai's statement made Jonathan and O'Connor very unhappy! Because in their opinion, Evelyn was obviously interested in Kai, but Kai was so indifferent at this time, and they all felt that Evelyn was not worth it.
Kai didn't care. Evelyn liked to pester him, of course, not because she liked him, she did so just because of her thirst for knowledge. This little girl is actually very simple, but Jonathan and O'Connor thought it was complicated.
After this, everyone did not continue to rest, but set off immediately, trying to reach Hamunatta as soon as possible.
...
On the other side, a tornado formed by yellow sand in the night sky was also moving rapidly towards Hamunatta. But just as the yellow sand tornado passed through a rift, a bolt of lightning suddenly struck it, and the yellow sand splashed everywhere, the tornado collapsed, and then the scattered yellow sand gathered into a human shape.
It was Imhotep who was halfway resurrected. Compared with the last time, Imhotep at this time was a little "fuller". Although he still looked like a shriveled mummy, at least he was much better than the tattered look last time. →
Beside him was another person, the unconscious Evelyn.
"High Priest Imhotep, I think we should talk." A voice with an obvious Russian accent came from the other end of the rift.
Imhotep stared at the eyes snatched from the American Burns, watching a bearded man walk out of the darkness of the rift. The bearded man was dressed in a priest's uniform, tall, and had a huge metal glove on his left hand. There were many electrodes connected to the metal glove, and a huge cable connected from the metal glove to the metal backpack behind him.
Looking at this bearded man who seemed to have walked out of the future, Imhotep seemed very angry. He opened his mouth and countless scarabs were restless in his body, as if they would burst out at any time.
"Listen, we have no ill intentions!" The bearded man quickly raised his hands to show that he had no ill intentions. He came to Egypt only for the legendary undead army. As for other things, he had no interest, and he didn't want to fight Imhotep to the death. "I came with good intentions, high priest. I know you need to take three sacrifices! I can give them to you!"
Originally, Imhotep didn't intend to pay attention to this bearded man, but when he heard that he could give him three sacrifices, Imhotep stopped. Now Imhotep didn't have a good way to deal with the three sacrifices that were heavily protected because he hadn't collected all the sacrifices and his magic power was not strong. →
Before, he had already reached his limit to resurrect a group of mummy warriors, and he was still worried about this matter. He had seen this bearded man before, just when he found Dr. Allen, and they had a fight at that time. Imhotep recognized his strength, and now this person was willing to help him, Imhotep thought he could talk.
Yes, this bearded man was the big bird demon monk Gregory mentioned earlier!
"You want the Book of the Dead?" Although he didn't know Gregory, Imhotep knew what this man wanted.
"Yes! My goal is the Book of the Dead. And I know that you want the Book of the Dead just to resurrect your lover Anna Sui. This does not conflict with my goal. I can help you resurrect Anna Sui, and you just need to hand over the Book of the Dead to me after the matter is over." Gregory learned through some means that the thing that the mummy in front of him cared about most was never something like domination or destruction. What he cared about from beginning to end was very clear, that is, to resurrect his lover.
This is very romantic, but Gregory doesn't care. He just needs to know that Imhotep wants something, and as long as he wants something, he can trade, and this is what he is best at.
Imhotep thought about it for a while and felt that he could accept this deal. He really didn't want to hand over the Book of the Dead to Gregory, but compared to Anna Sui, the Book of the Dead was nothing. And... when that time really came, he would have the final say on whether to fulfill the deal or not.
"Deal!"
Gregory grinned happily, with a cunning light flashing in his eyes. "Great, then let's sign a contract!"
...
Kay and his friends naturally didn't know about the alliance in the desert. They were rushing to Hamunatta, and the strange weather changes in the desert made the group suffer a lot. Sometimes it was still sunny the moment before, but hail started to fall in seconds!
This is deep in the desert, and hail often doesn't occur for decades, but they encountered hail three times in just ten days.
That's not all. What's even more deadly is the locust plague. The overwhelming locusts swept everything like a sandstorm. These insects eat everything, and even when they are extremely hungry, they don't let go of people. As long as they can eat something, they will take a few bites.
As for other typical desert disasters such as sandstorms and quicksand, they are encountered every day.
During this period of time, the desert has become extremely unfriendly.
Ten days passed like this. The speed of the group's journey could not be said to be slow, but it was definitely not fast. If it was just like this, it would be fine. But they were exhausted. If they continued like this, Mr. Burns, who had lost his eyes and tongue, would probably die immediately without Immorton having to kill him.
So everyone could only rest. They were lucky enough to meet a nomadic Bedouin tribe, so they rested in the Bedouin camp.
The Bedouins are a very mysterious nomadic people in the Sahara Desert. This people never leave the desert. Their way of life is to travel through the oasis deep in the desert. Their usual supplies are also exchanged with the residents of the oasis with cheese.
There were many Bedouins in the car of Kai and his group who had no supplies, and they all had guns in their hands, so their arrival was welcomed by the Bedouins. These Bedouins are not a kind nation. In fact, this nation is very fierce and good at fighting. In addition to herding, they do the most business without cost.
It just depends on whether it is worth it.
Kai and his party were willing to exchange supplies, and they had guns in their hands, so they were considered strong and powerful, so the Bedouins naturally entertained them warmly. After all, Kai and his party only needed some water and a place to rest, and exchanging these things for so many supplies was definitely more cost-effective than robbing.
The Bedouins took out the best meat and date wine to entertain Kai and his party, and everyone slept in the Bedouin camp that night.
But just after they slept, an outsider found the Bedouin chief. The outsider took out a lot of gold, but only made a very simple request, that they only wanted the Bedouin to steal something from Kai and his party.
