Chapter 767 -   Chapter 29: City of the Dead

 "A pair of A, followed by 8, 9, 10, J, Q, K." Jiang Ning threw out the cards in his hand, looked at the expressions of the three Americans opposite him, and felt happy in his heart: "Pay up, friend!"

  The three Americans looked like they had seen a ghost: "Friend, your behavior is not considered a 'friend'!"

  "Haha, don't you Americans claim that you love to make 'friends'?" Jiang Ning said sarcastically.

  The three Americans looked at each other and paid.

  "Keep going, I don't believe you have such good luck. You can win 7 times in a row!"

  Jonathan shouted excitedly on the side: "Wow, Ning did a great job, hahaha." Looking at the piles of banknotes in front of him, Jonathan's eyes were about to pop out.

  "Haha." Jiang Ning took the cards and was about to shuffle them.

  The American with glasses held Jiang Ning's hand and said: "Let me shuffle the cards!"

  Jiang Ning made a gesture of invitation, not caring who shuffled the cards. After shuffling the cards, everyone started a new round of gambling.

  …

  Looking at the good cards in his hand, ignoring Jonathan's drooling face, he sorted out the cards in his hand and was about to throw them out. Hearing the sound of gunfire, Jiang Ning turned to the cabin: "Oh no, something happened." After saying that, he ran over.

  "Ning, wait for me!" Jonathan said, looking at the banknotes on Jiang Ning's position, took them away, and then chased Jiang Ning.

  Bang! Bang! Bang!

  There were bursts of gunfire, and Jiang Ning looked closely. Many people in black appeared on the ship at some point. Pistols and submachine guns kept firing, and the wooden cabin fragments flew everywhere.

  Jiang Ning reacted quickly, and all the bullets that fell on Jiang Ning were bounced off by an invisible barrier. Then, he fired alternately with two guns, killing and injuring many people in black. The gravekeepers are numerous and powerful, and no one knows where they got the information from, and they actually knew their whereabouts. Moreover, they sneaked onto the ship without anyone noticing.

  "Ning, there are too many of them, we are no match for them. Abandon the ship!" O'Connor looked at Jiang Ning and yelled.

  "O'Connor, where is Evelyn?"

  Hearing Jiang Ning's words, Evelyn nodded: "Ning, I'm here. I'm fine, don't worry." Jiang Ning saw Evelyn wearing only pajamas and following O'Connor, knowing that she was fine.

  "You go first, I'll cover you." After saying that, Jiang Ning kept firing the double guns in his hands, his eyes slightly glowing with silver. The invisible telekinesis turned into an invisible barrier to protect O'Connor and the other two. To go to Hamunatta, O'Connor was needed to lead the way, and Evelyn was a very good friend of him because of the three years of getting along. Of course, Evelyn could not be injured, but because the injury on the soul had not healed yet, Jiang Ning needed to restrain the use of telekinesis.

  Otherwise, it might be harmful to the healing of the soul.

  ...

  The next day, Jiang Ning and his team bought a few camels at a desert market, and then rushed to Hamunatta day and night.

  The people of the gravekeepers watched them from afar.

  "Notify the tribesmen to gather, and never let them find the monster!"

  ...

  Finally, after walking for a day and a night, they arrived at the destination.

  Almost at the same time, the Americans also arrived here one after another.

  "Hey, O'Connor, the camel is good!"

  O'Connor ignored him and continued to look at the empty desert area in front of him.

  Jiang Ning also quietly used his mental power to look at the empty area in front of him, but found that there was nothing in front of him. However, Jiang Ning, who had seen the movie, knew very well that there was indeed Hamunatta, the city of the dead, right in front of him.

  "Could it be that the power of the god of death covered up Hamunatta?" Jiang Ning guessed vaguely, and at the same time he was in awe of the power of the gods. He was also curious about the high priest Imhotep who was buried deep under the legs of the god of death. I wonder what kind of power will the high priest who has been dead for three thousand years have once he is resurrected?

  Jiang Ning was very curious about this and wanted to see it. By the way, he also wanted to ask the high priest Imhotep for some information.

  ...

  During this waiting time, the sun was hanging high in the sky, and there was an empty desert in the distance. It was as if an invisible hand wiped away the dust out of thin air, and a spectacular scene appeared. The city of the dead, Hamunatta, appeared, dazzling everyone!

  "Ning, how about a bet to see who gets to Hamunatta first!" the golden-haired American suggested.

  Jiang Ning smiled and said, "Of course, how much do you want to bet?"

  "Three hundred dollars!"

  "Add another two hundred dollars, five hundred pounds!"

  The American hesitated for a moment, then said affirmatively, "Okay, five hundred is five hundred. You are good at the gambling table, but it doesn't mean you are the same at horse racing."

  "Idiot!"

  "Go!"

  Everyone shouted, whipping their mounts and running towards Hamunatta.

  Jiang Ning and his five companions rode camels, and soon they left a group of Americans riding horses far behind.

  ...

  "Here you go, five hundred pounds!" The golden-haired American counted a stack of banknotes and handed it to Jiang Ning with a depressed look on his face.

  Jiang Ning shook the pounds in his hand and said with a smile: "Thank you, man. If you can find the treasure in Hamunaptra, we will play with you when you go back!"

  "We'll talk about it then!"

  ...

  "Are you sure that the thing in your hand is useful?" O'Connor frowned and watched Evelyn fiddling with the ancient mirror in her hand.

  Evelyn didn't even raise her head: "Of course, as long as you calibrate the sunlight, the whole room will be bright. This is a little trick of the ancient Egyptians!" As she said, Evelyn carefully calibrated the ancient mirror and refracted the sunlight into the tomb. In an instant, the ancient tomb was illuminated, and everyone entered the tomb one by one.

  "What is this place? Where is the treasure?" Jonathan asked.

  Evelyn looked around: "This is the embalming room, where mummies are made."

  "I hope that a mummy who has lived for three thousand years will not suddenly appear later..." Jiang Ning smiled.

  "Oh, Ning, what are you talking about?"

  Jiang Ning shrugged: "Nothing, just liven up the anger."

  ...

  After that, they walked into a corridor and saw the legs of the god of death.

  "The legs of the god of death, the secret compartment must be somewhere."

  At this time, everyone heard a sound of footsteps, and a group of people suddenly appeared at the corner. Both sides almost instinctively pointed their guns at each other at the same time.

  Seeing that it was a person, both sides breathed a sigh of relief.

  "That looks like my stuff." The American with glasses stepped forward and looked at the tool bag in Evelyn's hand.

  "No!"

  Both sides pointed their guns at each other again. Looking at the gun pointing at his head, Jiang Ning said unhappily: "Dude, you'd better not point this thing at me. I'm very unhappy, you know?"

  The blond American laughed: "I don't want to be like this, but you are too impatient."

  The old American man said: "This place is ours, you should withdraw."

  "Absolutely!" Evelyn said affirmatively.

  O'Connor said: "Then why is there no engraving of your name on it, old man!"

  "We have more people than you!"

  "Really?" Jiang Ning pointed a gun at the old man: "Then you will definitely be the first to die, old man! Do you want to try it?"

  Evelyn came to the middle at this time and pressed down the hands of both sides: "Listen, kids. Don't quarrel here, we will give this place to you."

  "Evelin, we found this place first. And..." Jiang Ning certainly didn't want to give up this place. In the compartment of the Grim Reaper's leg, there was a box of the Black Scripture of the Dead.

  Evelyn stopped Jiang Ning: "It's okay, let's dig somewhere else."

  ...

  "According to the records of archaeologists, there is a secret compartment under the legs of the Grim Reaper. You start from here and dig it open. See what you can find." Evelyn flipped through the notebook and instructed. Jiang Ning and O'Connor took turns using tools to try to pry it open.

  The warden had already sneaked away to look for treasure. However, no one cared about him.

  In the compartment, Evelyn popularized the knowledge of making mummies. Jonathan was playing golf with a hoe out of boredom. He didn't know what mechanism he touched, and the sarcophagus holding Imhotep fell down with a bang. When

  Jiang Ning saw this, he knew that this was the sarcophagus used by the Pharaoh's guards to imprison Imhotep.

  Looking at the coffin, Evelyn said, "This sarcophagus is actually placed at the feet of the god of death. If he was not famous during his lifetime, then he must have committed a heinous crime!" Blowing away the dust on the coffin, Evelyn read the words on it: "He doesn't deserve to leave his name!"

  O'Connor pointed to a recess that looked like a key: "It looks like a lock here. If there is no key, it will take a month to open it."

  "Key?" Evelyn thought of something and took out the metal box from her waist bag: "Do you remember the key that the man in black said on the ship? So he meant this." After saying that, she opened the key, and the key fit the lock perfectly.

  "Ah!"

  At this time, everyone heard the warden's scream and ran out in a hurry. Seeing that the warden seemed to be crazy, covering his head, running and shouting, until he hit the wall and died. The warden's accident cast a shadow on everyone's heart. Only Jiang Ning knew the reason. It is estimated that even if Jiang Ning tried to stop the fat warden at the beginning, he would not listen.
