Chapter 1015
Jonathan's Explanation
Unlike Jonathan, who simply nodded, Imhotep pondered for a moment and then said:
"Actually, I've discovered during this time that the nature of the monster that hunts Jonathan is different each time it appears."
"I always thought that the strength attributes of this kind of monster were randomly generated, but now it seems that they are not, and there must be some special order."
Imhotep looked at Li Xiao.
"Because I remember the first Yellow Turban Warrior I faced had a power that carried a hot aura, but it wasn't as exaggerated as the flames he's releasing now."
"Moreover, his physique is just that of an ordinary person, and because he only has an upper body, he is even somewhat lacking in attack capabilities."
Li Xiao pressed further, "Imhotep, do you remember what attributes the Yellow Turban Warriors possessed in the previous five appearances?"
Imhotep replied, "The second one was very fast, probably wind-type. The third one was earth-type, and its defense was different from the previous ones. This time we used a lot of explosives to destroy it."
"As for the fourth and fifth times, it's not noticeable."
"For some reason, these monsters are particularly effective against me, so I didn't choose to get close to them either time."
"I took Jonathan and created some distance as soon as they appeared, then used a wide-range attack spell to eliminate them."
"This is the sixth time now, and it's gone from one to two. If this continues..."
Chu Xuan interrupted: "If this continues, the five Yellow Turban Warriors I saw in the projection last time will probably appear one after another."
"When we reach the ninth resurrection, the time should be shortened to less than a day. Then, five Yellow Turban Warriors will appear, and each of them will possess different attributes of true energy."
Chu Xuan had just finished speaking when a timid voice added:
"One more thing, the more ordinary people these yellow-clothed monsters kill, the stronger they will become after they are resurrected."
Everyone was stunned upon hearing this, even Chu Xuan looked at Jonathan.
Saito was surprised:
"how do you know?"
Jonathan gave an awkward laugh: "That's what I saw on that Buddha."
Saito Hajime: "Wait, what Buddha statue? The Buddha image mentioned in the envelope?"
What did they say?
Seeing Saito's eagerness, Nathan quickly replied:
"It's similar to what Imhotep and Chu Xuan said, that the first person to awaken them with true energy can control them, and the five attributes are metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, which are the five elements of your Eastern tradition."
"Furthermore, the people they kill become part of their power."
Saito pressed further, "What about the weaknesses? Are they written down?"
Jonathan: "The clothes, the yellow clothes they're wearing, they'll temporarily disappear if you tear their clothes."
“That’s what we’ve done before.”
“But during this time, Imhotep and I have tried countless times, and even if we tear their clothes, it only eliminates them for the moment, and they will reappear in a few days.”
"And then become stronger."
Saito looked at Jonathan with a strange expression.
"So, what exactly are Buddha statues and Buddha heads?"
"Jonathan, I get the feeling you're not really willing to talk about this?"
After he finished speaking, the scene fell silent abruptly.
All eyes on this guy were on Zhongzhou Team, making Jonathan sweat profusely.
"Ding dong!"
"Sir, your dinner order is ready!"
Hearing the sounds outside the door, Jonathan breathed a sigh of relief.
I quickly ran to open the door.
"This is a tip."
"Thank you, sir. I get off work at eight o'clock tonight."
"Hurry up and go, we don't need you today!!"
Jonathan had just closed the door and placed the tray on the table.
Upon hearing the conversation, Chen Zilong and his companions couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Even Li Xiao shook his head helplessly.
I'm speechless about Jonathan.
All I can say is that this person really doesn't discriminate between meat and vegetables.
Saito pointed to the still steaming soy milk and fried dough sticks: "Eat it while it's hot, the soy milk won't taste good when it gets cold."
"The soy milk at the International Hotel is made from freshly ground soybeans."
"Anyway, we have nothing else but plenty of time."
Jonathan was shameless; he actually started munching away in front of more than a dozen people.
Imhotep looked around before fixing his gaze on Chu Xuan, and then looked at the person eating fried dough sticks.
“Jonathan, now that Li Xiao and the others have arrived, my mission is complete.”
"Once Evelyn and the others are rescued, don't forget the elixir you promised me."
After saying that, Imhotep looked like he was about to leave.
To be honest, from the beginning, these things didn't matter if it took a few days.
The reason she followed Jonathan was only to find a way for Ankurna to achieve immortality.
And upon hearing this...
Jonathan pounced on him with lightning speed and skillfully grabbed the man's leg.
"Priest, you can't just abandon me! O'Connor is waiting for you to save him!"
"Have you forgotten the friendship we forged together when we fought the Scorpion King?!"
Li Xiao and the others were taken aback by Imhotep's words at first, but after a quick exchange, they reached a consensus.
This person cannot leave.
"Wait for Imhotep."
"us………"
The words that were brewing in their spiritual exchange have not yet been spoken.
Imhotep stated his goal directly and decisively.
"I want the Bible of the Dead."
However, this sentence was so direct that Li Xiao didn't know how to answer for a moment.
However, Chu Xuan seemed to have been prepared and nodded in agreement the very next second after Imhotep finished speaking.
"Okay, Zhu Wen will give him the Bible of the Dead!"
Although this process omitted a lot of unnecessary push-and-pull negotiations, the final result was the same.
So Zhu Wen didn't hesitate.
When the black metal-covered Bible of the Dead was once again in the hands of Imhotep, the high priest from three thousand years ago.
Zhu Wen, who handed it over, was momentarily dazed.
Because this scene is somewhat similar.
It's like Harry Potter holding the wand in Ollivander.
Feeling the necromancer's Bible devouring his own magic, the high priest couldn't help but let out a barely audible groan.
It can be said that at this point, Imhotep was the only villain in a horror movie who was both competent and possessed great power.
Instead of the bald man who used to lead Jonathan on frantic escapes and who didn't even dare to leave the Qin state's blockade.
The decisiveness of the Zhongzhou team exceeded Imhotep's expectations.
Only when the mark of Anubis appeared in the high priest's palm did he look at Li Xiao. "Speak, what do you need me to do?"
Li Xiao replied, "It's simple. Help us enter this suspended ancient tomb, and then rescue O'Connor and the Dragon Emperor."
"Of course, if possible, after all this is over, please take good care of Egypt, that is, your old enemy, the Guardian Clan."
Although the last request sounded a bit strange, Imhotep looked at the Central State team members, nodded, and didn't say anything more.
Even if he couldn't find the elixir and there were no other options, having obtained the Bible of the Dead gave him a final safety net.
At least it can ensure Ansu-na's survival.
Imhotep kicked Jonathan away and returned to his previous position.
Jonathan's skin is truly exceptional; he continued to straighten his clothes as if nothing had happened.
Chu Xuan suddenly spoke up at this moment:
"It is obvious that the Yellow Turban Warrior should be some kind of cultivation tool, not much different from the golden bracelet that can summon the Grim Reaper Legion."
"The yellow headscarf can imprison the soul, and then, through some means, transform the soul's power or spiritual energy into true energy with the five elements attributes..."
"It seems to be a new method of rune combination."
Chu Xuan suddenly changed the subject.
"But compared to that, I'm more curious about how you, Jonathan, managed to excavate this ancient tomb in the first place."
When Chu Xuan asked this question, everyone on the Zhongzhou team couldn't help but look over.
After all, the person mentioned this in the letter in a very general way.
Imhotep sneered when he heard the question:
"Yeah, tell me, I've asked you so many times and you still won't tell me. Now you can finally speak freely, right? Jonathan?"
The person drinking soy milk gulped down a mouthful.
"Ahem, didn't I think about starting a business after I left the United States back then?"
"As a result, the whole world was at war. I had just paid a deposit in Villa, and within two days the goods were bombed by the coalition forces. This made me very angry."
Li Xiao tapped the table and smiled, "Let's skip the details and get down to business!"
Jonathan gave a dry laugh.
“I knew I couldn’t do business in a war zone, so after looking around, I could only come to the East.”
"Isn't it a coincidence that I had a token? So they let me in right away and treated me like a foreign guest."
"Then I saw that the people in the inland areas of the East were suffering, not having enough to eat or wear..."
"Although the invading armies of those great powers in recent years have all been wiped out and the colonies have been reclaimed, production capacity and technology are still lagging behind. However, I heard that there were some policies in place, but they were never implemented before..."
"This leads to those beautiful, young girls cough cough cough don't rush don't rush, we're about to get to the crucial part."
Jonathan looked at the golden dagger that suddenly materialized in the girl's hand, grinned smugly, and sped up his speech.
"After the Dragon Emperor revived, he consolidated the country with his powerful strength. However, he was too focused on the outside world in the past few years and has now suddenly disappeared. It is inevitable that there is some chaos in the country. Generally speaking, the country is still in a distorted state with warlords everywhere."
"Because the imperial court no longer has the highest authority, it is constrained in everything it does, fearing that the Dragon Emperor will come back and settle scores with them later."
"As a foreign guest, I became an honored guest of these warlords..."
Well, I'm the most considerate of my friends. How can I possibly have a good time with Ziyuan and Guo Ming's daughter when they haven't even found her yet?
"So while touring the East, I did not give up searching for various clues. Finally, in Shanxi, I found textual clues similar to those found on the seaside ruins at the home of a warlord named Yan Xishan."
Li Xiao interrupted, "Wait, you found such important information, why didn't you notify us and O'Connor at the time?"
"If I remember correctly, we made several comebacks later, right?"
Upon hearing Li Xiao's question, Jonathan's expression instantly became quite varied.
"Back then, back then, they hadn't even dug out that god yet!"
"And since there were no Yellow Turban warriors there, I thought it was just an ordinary ancient tomb, at most a bit old, which is why it's associated with the seaside ruins."
Jonathan then raised his hand:
“Really, I swear, if I had known this tomb had such a big problem, how could I have let Eric go?”
"He's my own nephew!!!"
Saito nodded: "Yes, yes, my own nephew, send him over to dig up the ancient tomb."
"So dear."
Seeing Jonathan's righteous indignation, Li Xiao and the others, who were familiar with the situation, chuckled twice with forced smiles.
Finally, Li Xiao and Zhu Wen inexplicably turned to look at Chu Xuan, who nodded.
Then a familiar potion appeared in Zhu Wen's hand.
Upon seeing the truth serum, Jonathan, who had been so confident just a second ago, suddenly collapsed to his knees.
It's obvious that what this person said is at least 80% false, otherwise they wouldn't have reacted this way.
Saito Hajime stepped forward with the medicine, his 1.9-meter frame completely concealing Jonathan's thin body.
"Come on, friend, let's go through this process, otherwise we won't feel at ease."
"No, no, no, is that necessary?"
Seeing the guilty look on this person's face, Li Xiao covered his head and sighed.
At that moment, Zhang Jie said with a smile:
"Have you all forgotten about me?!"
"How about I try it first?"
"If that doesn't work, then use truth serum."
They saw Li Xiao and the others nod.
Zhang Jie waved his hand in the direction where Jonathan was.
The man's eyes instantly became confused.
Chen Zilong suddenly realized: "So, this is hypnosis?"
Zhang Jie nodded, pointing to his eyes.
"The Eye of Suggestion isn't something you can get for free."
Saito immediately understood and then looked at Jonathan, who seemed dazed, and asked:
"How did you find this floating tomb?"
Jonathan: "It was intuition, or rather, I found a treasure map through intuition."
"However, when this treasure map came into my hands, it was already broken beyond recognition. I used all my skills and a little bit of luck to repair it."
"With the help of this map, I found this ancient suspended tomb hidden in the Gobi Desert of Shanxi."
"This map also has a strange name."
Upon hearing this, Li Xiao's heart stirred: "What's that name? You should still remember it, right?"
Jonathan nodded absentmindedly: "Of course, it's called the Reincarnation Squad side story."
When Jonathan, with a blank look in his eyes, took the initiative to say the name.
Cheng Xiao, who was drinking tea on the side, suddenly spat it out.
Chen Zilong, who had been sprayed all over, stared wide-eyed.
Cheng Xiao coughed and looked at Jonathan.
"Wait, are you sure it's this name?"
Jonathan nodded: "Of course, I filled in the gaps bit by bit, how could I possibly forget the name at the very top of the map..."
As he spoke, a smug smile appeared on Jonathan's bewildered face.
"It's only me; anyone else definitely wouldn't have been able to find the ancient tomb on the map."
Compared to the reactions of others, Chu Xuan immediately looked at Zhang Jie. (End of Chapter)
