Infinite Horror: The Strongest Zhongzhou Team

Chapter 136 See the light of day again: Black Book of the Dead

The priest and the three Americans looked up at the tallest stone pillar in the Hamna Tower ruins.

"Oh, Shet, God, how did he get up there?"

The priest wearing a red turban held the black book in his arms and said:
  "I advise you three not to provoke that group of Orientals."

"This is a nation that is not easy to mess with."

Li Xiao stood on the top of the stone pillar, looking at the yellow flying sand all over the sky.

This stone pillar is about ten meters high and passes through the remaining buildings that have fallen down around the stone pillar.

Li Xiao saw that it was obvious that this pillar must be a pillar of some giant palace or a pharaoh's temple.

However, after more than 3,000 years of history, this huge stone pillar has still remained standing, which is enough to prove the charm of the ancient Egyptian civilization.

Without further ado, another figure folded its "wings" from mid-air and landed next to Li Xiao.

After landing at zero o'clock, the drone behind him also hovered in front of the two of them. Looking at the USB flash drive thrown over, Li Xiao said a faint thank you.

In the tent on the other side, Xiao Honglu suddenly asked:
  "Do you have to close your eyes during the mental scan?"

Hearing this, Zhan Lan knew that he was asking her, and then opened his eyes and shook his head.

"No, it's just that I can't control my sight and senses very well right now, especially when I share the images I scanned with you through a mental connection."

"Closing my eyes can help me focus more and make my perceptions more rapid and accurate. It can also be regarded as a technique for applying mental skills!"

Xiao Honglu nodded. As for why there was such a problem, there was no explanation at all.

After a while, the two members of the Zhongzhou team who were looking forward to the stars and the moon finally ended today’s adventure.

"Hey, two adventurers came out and it looks like they gained a lot!"

Zhan Lan looked at Zheng Zha and Qi Teng and said angrily.

When they saw Evelin, the rightful owner, coming out, Li Xiao and Ling Dian did not hesitate.

The two jumped out of thin air under the surprised gazes of the three Americans.

The impact of landing caused a cloud of yellow sand to fly.

Li Xiao and Ling Dian walked out and returned to the camp.

The three Americans and the priest who saw this scene swallowed subconsciously:

"Okay, I think you're right, but I like to be friends with strong people."

"That's right, we will never provoke them, we just hope we can get to know each other. After all, my dad once said, multiple friends, multiple paths!"

The last half of the sentence was spoken by three Americans together.

With that said, the three of them took the wine bottles and walked towards the four disgraced people who had just climbed out of the cave.

The priest shook his head at their backs and held the black ancient book he had just dug out.

He hid in front of his personal tent, and then he began to think of various ways to open this black ancient book that he was thinking about.

After Zheng Zha, Saito Yi, O'Connor, and Evelin all came up, Zhan Lan and the others still didn't see Jonathan.

Helpless Evelin could only lie down and shouted to the hole:

"Jonathan? Brother?"

"Please, just stop moving if you can't move it, okay?"

After Evelin finished speaking, she heard a silent voice falling to the ground underground, and sighed helplessly again.

Jonathan, who was underground, looked at the statue of the sun god that he had accidentally smashed. He made a sinful gesture like a triangle and said Amitabha twice.

After a while, Jonathan's voice came out:
  "Hi, O'Connor? Zheng Zha? Can you hold me for a moment?"

When Jonathan came out, they all smiled helplessly when they saw the extra large piece clearly protruding from the other person's arms.

At this time, three Americans came over.

"Oh, my O'Connor, look at how embarrassed you are, how much can you sell these treasures you found?"

Another American wearing glasses said next:

"Hahaha, and I heard that you dug up a wet mummy yesterday?"

"Wow, is this the one in red?"

"It's so awesome, hahaha, so funny. You can roast it dry and use it as firewood."

As he said this, the three of them burst into laughter, but looking at O'Connor and the others who were not angry at all, the three of them smiled and stopped awkwardly. "Okay, actually what I want to say is that we have plenty of money, whether it's pounds, US dollars, or gold, so I wonder if we can get to know a few mysterious Easterners."

"We are O'Connor's friends after all. More importantly, we also love archeology. If you need help, we can actually do it."

The Americans in the back said while shaving: "Yes, our abilities are much stronger than those of Jonathan."

Hold the gold hidden in your arms.

Jonathan and O'Connor laughed angrily:

"Yes, I can see that you are very capable of poaching, but we don't have time to listen to your jokes now."

With that said, O'Connor and Jonathan got into the tent.

Then there was a jingle of bells.

"Listen, what a beautiful sound, I guess it's just another pile of junk."

As he said this, he picked up the wine bottle and tried to step forward, but Zhang Jie raised his submachine gun and picked up a bunch of bullets.

Only then did the three Americans raise their hands.

"NO, we just want to be friends, really!"

The three Americans who wanted to explain again saw Zhang Jie's gun that had never been lowered, and then they stepped back knowingly.

Evelin, on the other hand, kept looking into the distance.

Looking at the black ancient book held in the priest's arms, she chatted perfunctorily with the Zhongzhou team for a few words.

After everyone finished eating the simple meal in the desert early, they entered the tent and began to rest.

In the middle episode, the newcomers General Du and the middle-aged woman may have recalled the subsequent plot.

So while eating, his hands were trembling, and Qin Zhuyu also joined their trembling army as if he was infected.

After all, as an ordinary person, just thinking about a mummy that is alive and kicking makes me feel numb all over.

What's more, this mummy is still a three thousand year old man, and it is now placed in front of them.

Seeing this situation, Li Xiao had to let the nanomachine chip "help" them control their bodies again, and then resumed normal behavior.

But those pairs of eyes filled with fear could not be changed.

The alternation of day and night in the desert is very obvious.

However, the energetic Americans did not stop making noise until midnight.

As the camp fell into silence again, Evelin, who pretended to be asleep, quietly climbed up from the campfire.

He groped furtively in the direction of the priest.

Feeling guilty, Evelin looked around and then broke open the priest's tightly held hands.

He secretly took out the black ancient book, and then quietly walked back to the bonfire.

Just when Evelin was "borrowing" the key from Jonathan, the sudden sound frightened the young lady into thinking.

"If I remember correctly, you told me in Cairo that you hated stealing the most?"

O'Connor opened his eyes at some point and was looking at Evelin with a smile.

"So, you learned this skill from your brother?"

Evelin rolled her eyes angrily and snorted: "If you and I follow what my brother said, this isn't called stealing, it's called borrowing!"

With that said, Evelin opened the key and stamped it on the metal case of the black ancient book.

When O'Connor saw this scene, he also got up softly. He looked at the pure black scripture and asked doubtfully:
  "To be honest, when you said it was gold, I thought it was gold, but I didn't expect it to be black, and it's such a black book."

Evelin chuckled lightly:
  "The Sun Golden Sutra is indeed golden, but I didn't say this is the Sun Golden Sutra."

"I think this book should be another legendary book in the ancient Egyptian pharaonic civilization, the Black Book of the Dead..."

Undead?

Hearing these two ominous words, O'Connor instantly became furious and took a step back:
  "Oh no, I don't care if this is the Black Book of the Dead or the Bible of the Dead, so what are you doing with it? Are you playing with it?"

Looking at O'Connor who started to pull out a gun, Evelin quickly said softly:
  "Relax, O'Connor, it's just a history book, okay."

"And if it's just reading, what's wrong with it?"
