Chapter 177: Altar (Please Collect and Recommend) Is Still 5,000 Words
"F**K! The holy urn is gone!" Daniels' roar woke up the next morning and startled the whole camp.
Daniels' companions heard this and immediately ran to the box where the holy urn was placed. Sure enough, there was nothing inside. This was not a big deal. What was worse was that the three Americans felt pain in their butts when they woke up in the morning!
The Americans were completely blown up. The holy urn was missing, and it was only a financial loss. Anyway, they didn't plan to make money this time, and it was good enough to save their lives. But the pain in the butt is worth talking about. This is a great shame!
O'Connor heard this and looked at Daniels' butt very ambiguously, and then asked in a low voice: "Did you really go to Mr. Hyde to apologize yesterday?"
"Get lost! I didn't! I'm not a homosexual patient!" Unlike the equal rights movements that have been rising and falling in the 21st century, homosexuality in this era is considered a disease and is very despised. It's okay to joke, but if you are really suspected, it will become stinking shit. Daniels certainly can't admit it.
Americans are notoriously irritable, whether now or a hundred years later. This is why this country gives people the impression that all the men in the country are cowboys who like to get drunk and shoot randomly. The three Americans plus O'Connor thought that it was the Bedouins who did it, so they took their guns and planned to settle accounts with the Bedouins early in the morning.
The Bedouins were not good-tempered. They were warmly entertained yesterday because of the supplies, but they never intended to let a group of Western barbarians bully others in their territory, so soon several Americans were surrounded by a group of Bedouins with machetes and muskets.
When Kai and his team arrived, the Americans and the British almost fought with the Bedouins. The Bedouins couldn't tell who was an American and who was a British, and the British stood with the Americans because they were in an unfamiliar environment and subconsciously believed in their "cousins" who had the same roots as them. →
In the end, Kai used a little trick to calm both sides down by using mental oppression. This is not a great spell, not even a spell, just a simple use of mental power. Both sides did not intend to fight. After all, it was ridiculous to fight to the death over a small matter. If there was no mental oppression from Kai, they might have really fought to the point of bloodshed for the sake of face. But Kai intervened, so both sides just let it go.
But things have to be solved, so both sides decided to find the chief to solve the matter. But before they could get to the chief's tent, someone ran over to tell them that the chief was dead, murder!
The whole camp exploded, and a group of Bedouins almost had a fight with Kai and his men at that time. In fact, if Dr. Terence Bay had not tried his best to stop it, the fight would have really happened.
The Bedouin desert people have no concept of "law", only "blood revenge". Moreover, the society they live in is called "a society without government", and clans with blood ties are their social foundation. With blood ties, they combine families into clans; and clans into tribes. The tribes were united into a tribal alliance.
The death of a chief was still a matter for one tribe. If they caused heavy losses to the Bedouin tribe here, the entire tribal alliance would launch a blood revenge against them!
The Bedouin is called "Muru" in Arabic, which means extremely brave and righteous. The Bedouin bravely charged into battle for the benefit of the clan and was willing to sacrifice his life. Perseverance and hard work are the characteristics of the Bedouin. Once all the Bedouin launched a blood revenge against Kai and his people, they would not be able to live in peace in the desert.
These Bedouins will chase them to the ends of the earth!
In the end, there was no choice but to let Dr. Terence Bay and Ades Bay take a few warriors from the Guardian tribe to negotiate in Arabic. The lifestyle of the Guardian tribe is similar to that of the Bedouin. In addition to settling in several oases, they also engage in nomadic activities.
Although this caused them to have a lot of friction with the Bedouins, they also accumulated some friendship because of the frequent exchange of materials.
Finally, Dr. Terence Bay used the most sacred oath in the desert to guarantee that they would find the murderer, and temporarily stabilized a group of irritable Bedouins. Because the Guardian tribe had to guard the evil place like the City of the Dead, some ancient secrets from ancient Egypt were secretly passed down within the tribe.
It was also relying on these secrets that the Guardian tribe has been passed down in the desert to this day.
Relying on Dr. Terence Bay's secrets, a group of people quickly found clues. Someone did sneak into the chief's tent. This person did not seem to have any anti-reconnaissance awareness and left some clues at the scene. The biggest clue was a gold coin found under the chief's carpet.
"It's a German!" The reason why the suspect was found so easily was because this gold coin came from the German Imperial Bank! It was clearly printed in German, even with the production time.
Everyone in the team knew very well why the Germans appeared here. Don't forget, Gregory never gave up the Book of the Dead!
After finding the clue, Dr. Terence Bay immediately found the chief's servant and asked him to tell if anyone had come to see the chief yesterday. The servant was reluctant to say it at first, but faced with the pressure from a group of tribesmen, he could only tell them that someone had come to see the chief yesterday.
It turned out that the chieftain, in order to get a reward, actually violated the Bedouin tradition and attacked the people in his tent. In the Bedouin tradition, people who can live in their tents are either friends or relatives, and they must not be harmed.
The Bedouin was a little embarrassed. No wonder the servant didn't want to say it before, it was too embarrassing. The Bedouin has no law, so tradition is particularly important. This is the foundation for maintaining the Bedouin heritage.
The servant didn't know what happened afterwards. After the servant stole the holy urn and the blood of the three Americans and gave it to the chieftain, he was asked by the chieftain to go home and never tell about it.
The murderer has not been found here, but the three Americans are relieved. Their buttocks hurt not because of that...
But the servant used drugs to knock out the three Americans in order to get some blood, and then used an awl to directly prick their buttocks. Maybe it was the servant's bad taste, and the place where he was pierced was a little bit, so this misunderstanding was caused.
The servant's words made the Bedouin very embarrassed, but it also proved that it was not these people who did it to the chieftain. It was the enemy of this group of people. Although the chief was embarrassed, he couldn't die in vain, so a group of tribal warriors decided to initiate blood revenge!
Although they didn't know who the enemy was, as long as they followed Kai, they would definitely find the enemy! Because Dr. Terence Bay said that the person who killed the chief was still in the desert, and they were looking for something.
Facing the thugs who came to the door, everyone discussed it and it seemed that there was no reason to refuse. Now because of Gregory's involvement, the situation became complicated in an instant. They really needed a group of people, and in the desert, camels were the best means of transportation.
Although the all-terrain combat vehicle is very useful, if it runs out of oil or breaks down, it is equivalent to scrap metal, so it still needs to rely on camels.
The group decided to rest for another day and set off with fifty Bedouin warriors tomorrow. As for why they didn't set off at that time... It was because of the three Americans' butts. The servant obviously had a special hobby for that place and stabbed it too hard. They had to rest and apply some medicine, otherwise the place might rot at any time. Kai and the others couldn't leave the three Americans behind, they were still very important.
...
That night, in a dim cave, Gregory led a group of people and Imhotep to wait for someone at a hexagram altar. Evelyn was handcuffed and imprisoned on the side. This girl was very carefree, she was not worried at all, but looked at the hexagram altar in the middle with great interest.
About a few minutes later, a masked man in German military uniform came in with a holy urn and several bloody handkerchiefs.
Seeing the holy urn, Imhotep was immediately excited, regardless of what Gregory thought, and used magic to take the holy urn from the masked man. The masked man was obviously unhappy with Imhotep's behavior, and he didn't see him make any moves, and stretched out two sharp blades from his arms.
The masked man's highly aggressive action immediately angered Imhotep. The corpse didn't care about the covenant with Gregory at all, and directly opened his mouth and roared at the masked man. The roar turned into a shock wave in the air, and the masked man was directly knocked into the rock wall.
Faced with this attack that could kill an ordinary person, the masked man pulled himself out of the broken rock wall as if nothing had happened, then raised the sharp blade in his hand and rushed towards Imhotep. He had long wanted to try and see if this mummy could be killed!
"Enough!" Gregory roared and stopped the masked man. Gregory turned his head and looked at Imhotep, saying sternly: "Mr. High Priest, don't forget the deal between us! We are equals, we are not your servants, you must give us due respect!"
