The three Americans didn't know what expression to use in response to the doctor's words. Should they express pride? After all, they matter now. Or should I express sadness? Because this means that Immorton 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 easy!" Kai said decisively.
It’s just that Kai’s statement made Jonathan and O’Connor very unhappy! Because in their opinion, Evelin was obviously interested in Kai, but Kai acted so coldly at this time, and they all felt unworthy of Evelin.
But Kai didn't care. Evelin liked to pester him, naturally not because she liked him. She did it just because of her thirst for knowledge. This little girl is actually quite innocent, but Jonathan and O'Connor have complicated things.
After this encounter, everyone did not continue to rest, but immediately set off to try to reach Hamna Tower as early as possible.
…
On the other side, a tornado formed by yellow sand in the night sky was also moving rapidly towards Hamna Tower. But just as the tornado passed through a rift valley, a bolt of lightning suddenly hit it. Suddenly, yellow sand splashed everywhere, the tornado collapsed, and then the scattered yellow sand gathered into a human shape.
It is Immortun who is half-resurrected. Compared to the last time, Imogen is slightly plumper at this time. Although he still looks like a shriveled mummy, it is at least better than the tattered appearance last time. Much.
There was another person lying next to him, it was Evelin who was unconscious.
"High Priest Immorton, I think we should have a chat." A voice with an obvious Russian accent came from the other side of the rift.
Immorton stared at the eyes stolen from the American Burns and watched a bearded man walking out of the darkness of the rift valley. This bearded man was wearing a priest's uniform and was tall. He also wore a huge metal glove on his left hand. This metal glove was connected to many electrodes, and a huge cable was connected from the metal glove to the metal backpack on his back.
Looking at this bearded man who seemed to have come out of the future world, Immorton looked very angry. He opened his mouth, and countless scarabs were restless in his body, as if they would spurt out at any time.
"Listen, we don't mean any harm!" The bearded man quickly raised his hands to show that he meant no harm. He came to Egypt only for the legendary undead army. As for other things, he was not interested, let alone a fight to the death with Immorton. "I come with good intentions, High Priest. I know you need three sacrifices! I can give them to you!"
Originally, Immorton was not going to pay attention to the bearded man, but when he heard that he could hand over the three sacrifices to him, Imogen stopped. The current Immorton has not collected all the sacrifices and his magic power is not strong yet, so there is no good way to deal with the three sacrifices that are protected by heavy troops.
Resurrecting a group of mummy warriors was his limit before, and he has been worrying about it now. He had seen this bearded man before, and when he found Dr. Allen, they had sex. Imogen recognized his strength, and now that this person was willing to help him, Imogen felt that he could talk.
Yes, this bearded man is none other than the great harpy monk Gregory mentioned before!
"You want the Book of the Dead?" Although he didn't know Gregory, Immorton knew exactly what this man wanted.
"Yes! My purpose 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 purpose. I can help you resurrect Anna Sui, and you only need After the matter is over, hand over the Book of the Dead to me." Through some means, Gregory learned that what the mummy in front of him cared about most was never domination or destruction. What he cared about from beginning to end was It was clear that it was to resurrect his lover.
This is very romantic, but Gregory doesn't care. He only needs to know that Immorton wants something. As long as he wants it, he can trade, and this is what he is best at.
Immorton thought about it for a while and felt that he could accept the deal. He really didn't want to give the Book of the Dead to Gregory, but compared to Anna Sui, the Book of the Dead was nothing. And... when that time comes, it's not him who has the final say whether or not the deal is fulfilled.
"make a deal!"
Gregory grinned happily, with a cunning light flashing in his eyes. "Great, then let's sign a contract!"
…
Of course, Kai and the others didn't know about the alliance that took place in the desert. They were rushing to Hamna Tower. During this period, the strange weather changes in the desert made the group suffer a lot. Sometimes it was clear that the sky was clear one moment, but then it started to hail!
This place is deep in the desert and often does not encounter a hailstorm for decades, but they encountered three hailstorms in just ten days.
That's not all. What's even more terrible is the locust plague. The overwhelming locusts are sweeping over everything like a sandstorm. These insects will eat anything. They will even eat people when they are extremely hungry. As long as they can eat anything, they will take a few bites. .
As for other typical desert disasters such as sandstorms and quicksand, we encounter them every day.
Over this time, the desert has become extremely unfriendly.
Ten days passed like this, and the speed of everyone's journey could not be said to be slow, but it was definitely not going any faster, so forget it if it was just like this. But they were exhausted from the torture. If they continued like this, Mr. Burns, who had lost his eyes and tongue, would probably burp in a hurry without even having to kill him, leaving the others alone.
So everyone could only repair it. They were lucky enough to meet a nomadic Bedouin tribe, so they repaired it in the Bedouin camp.
The Bedouin are a very mysterious nomadic people in the Sahara Desert. This people never leaves the desert. Their way of life is to travel through the oases deep in the desert. Daily supplies are also exchanged with the residents of the oasis through cheese. .
There were many Bedouin in Kai's group's car who had no supplies, and they all had guns in their hands, so their arrival was welcomed by the Bedouin. These Bedouin were not a friendly people. In fact, this nation is very tough and good at fighting. Apart from herding, the most they do is business without capital.
Just see if it's worth it.
Kai and the others were willing to exchange supplies, and they had guns in their hands, so they had strong soldiers and horses, so the Bedouin naturally welcomed them warmly. After all, Kai and the others only need some water and a place to rest. Using this in exchange for so many supplies is definitely more cost-effective than robbery.
The Bedouin brought 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 fell asleep, an outsider found the Bedouin chief. The outsider took out a lot of gold, but only made a very simple request. Steal some stuff there.
