Chapter 146 Chapter 146

Seeing Kaba and Khufu, the leader of the trio started to curse. Seeing the angry expression of the man opposite, Kaba immediately touched the dagger at his waist, ready to fight at any time. As a result, the other party turned around and grabbed Ali's collar and asked: "You kid, did you sell the news to others?!"

Ali immediately looked extremely panicked. He waved his hands and explained: "No, really not! I only told you the news and didn't let anyone else know. I swear!!"

"Then what's wrong with them!!"

"Maybe..." Ali rolled his eyes, thinking of an excuse, "Did you get the news from somewhere else?"

"Didn't you say you were the only one who knew the news? You're fooling me, or I'll kill you!"

Sweat beads were about to appear on Ali's forehead. "Don't, don't do anything! I am the only one who knows the news, but the hole has not been filled up. What if someone sees it and thinks there is a tomb inside? I really didn't sell the news to anyone else. If I had, I wouldn't have dared to come with you guys."

"Humph." The leader thought so, so he put the man down and turned to stare at Kaba and Khufu. "We are all in the same business. Since we met here today, I won't ask where you got the news or whether you got here by accident. I just want to ask one thing: how to solve the problem."

Hearing the other party say this, Kaba breathed a sigh of relief. This means that there is room for negotiation, and it will be easy if there is negotiation.

The opponent is fully equipped. Except for Ali, the other two are tall and strong. I am thin. Although Khufu is big, he is timid. If they really fight, his chances of winning are not high. In this situation, it is better to cooperate.

Kaba said, "We've all come here and worked hard. No one knows what's going on inside. No one wants to leave this kind of tomb. Fighting will only result in loss of manpower. If there's a third wave of people, we'll just be wasting our time and providing convenience to others. How about this? We act together. There are five people in total on both sides. We split the spoils equally, giving each person 20%."

"No." The boss retorted, "We will be three people in a group, and you will be two people in a group. And look at the one behind you..."

Seeing Khufu's cowering look, the boss sneered: "It's of no use. We have 80% and you have 20%."

"That's too far off." Kaba frowned. "Although this guy is timid, he's very strong. It's no problem to give him the job of moving things. At least... 30%. I have the connections to sell the good stuff at a high price."

"Oh?" The two people opposite him looked at him with eyes full of distrust.

"You can ask Ali," Kaba said.

The other person behind the boss stared at Ali: "Do you know each other? It turned out that you leaked the news!"

Ali quickly protested his innocence, but the two men didn't believe him. They decided to reduce the share that they had agreed to give Ali. Ali agreed with a helpless look.

The two sides finally negotiated that if Kaspersky could provide a safe and high-priced shipping channel, they would give Kaspersky 30%, and if not, it would be 20%.

After the discussion, the two sides introduced themselves to each other. At the same time, Kaba finally learned from Ali the whole process of discovering the tomb. When Ali was drunk, he only revealed the discovery of the new tomb and its approximate location, but did not reveal anything else.

The first person to discover the tomb was not Ali, but one of Ali's gangster friends. The gangster had stolen the car of a local gang leader and was being hunted, so he fled the city in fear and slipped into a canyon in the desert. He accidentally discovered the tomb.

After the discovery, he returned as expected and told the leader the news, hoping to make up for the mistake of stealing the car. However, the leader did not believe in the existence of the "undiscovered ancient tomb" and shot him dead.

Fortunately, he told Ali the news before he died, so Ali went to investigate the site and indeed found the entrance to the tomb.

But this kind of ancient tomb has countless traps, and it is very dangerous to break in alone. Besides, Ali has never done this before, and he has no idea about tomb robbing. But he is reluctant to give up, so he asks the boss to take him to the tomb on the condition that he can share the burial objects.

Then, I was well prepared for today's action, but I accidentally met Kaba and the others under the tomb.

"Kaba, tell me honestly, how did you get the news?" Ali asked Kaba with his eyes wide open, "I definitely didn't tell you the news."

Kaba pulled the corners of his mouth and revealed a dry smile. Could he say that Ali was drunk and had a bald mouth? He could only say, "I accidentally passed by here before and saw the cave entrance. I went in and saw the murals and realized it was a tomb."

Ali groaned and said, "I should have covered it up earlier."

His voice was not soft, and the boss in front heard it. The boss snorted but didn't say whether he believed it or not.

The tomb passage was very low and narrow. Five people lined up in a long queue and moved slowly forward. After walking a distance, they would come to a fork in the road, just like a giant maze.

Every time he came to a fork in the road, the eldest brother would take out a marker and draw a circle on the stone wall engraved with ancient characters to mark the path he had taken.

It seems that they are indeed much more professional than Kaba and others.

"I always feel like I'm going in circles," the eldest brother whispered.

Did they reach a dead end early on?

After walking a long way forward, they came to a new corner. Looking at the familiar circle above, the boss cursed secretly and sat down slowly: "Take a break."

Ali and another man also sat down, looking very experienced.

"How long... have you been wandering around in there?" Kaba asked in a low voice.

Ali glanced at him and looked at his watch: "We have been here for more than three hours."

For more than three hours, he was still going around in circles in the maze above the tomb.

When Khufu heard this, his face turned pale with fear. He reached out and grabbed Kaba's clothes, constantly reminding him with his eyes and mouth: Weird.

Kaba pulled out the corner of his clothes and shook his head to signal him to shut up. It was best not to say anything at this time.

"You two should bring enough water and food. Don't expect us to share them with you at this time," said the eldest brother.

Kaba immediately said, "No, we've got it." Then he leaned over and said, "You've been lost for so long, aren't you worried?"

"Why worry?" The eldest brother sneered. "It's not hard to get out. We have walked to the exit several times. The hard part is getting in. We still haven't found the way into the tomb."

Kaba was silent for a while, then he said, "How about I go ahead and try?"

The boss looked at him and nodded: "Okay, you come."

He moved aside along the stone wall: "Don't say I didn't warn you, some roads have traps, be careful when you walk."

"Don't worry, I know."

After resting for a while, several people started to move again. It was not known whether the change of people worked, or they really relied on the markers to find the correct route. After twists and turns, they finally came to a narrow little room, instead of the winding narrow tomb passage.

"Hey, finally some progress." The boss pushed Kaba away and squeezed into the small tomb.

"Yes, brother, we finally found it." said another man.

Khufu was the last to come out. He lowered his head and looked around the tomb curiously. Then he saw the skeletons in the corner of the tomb wall. He was so scared that he took a few steps back and bumped into Kaaba.

"Well, well..." Khufu said tremblingly, pointing at the corner of the tomb.

Kaba and the boss looked over. The boss waved his hand and said, "It's just the skeletons of people buried alive. Look how scared you are. Can you really use your courage to move things? Don't smash the precious burial objects."

Kaba said: "They are all pure gold and cannot be smashed. As for those fragile pottery jars, they are worthless." And they are probably used to store garbage, so no one wants them.

"There is a coffin here, let's open it and take a look!" The eldest brother jumped onto a stone coffin and said excitedly.

This sarcophagus is not big, and its height is only up to the boss's chest. It is completely different from the huge sarcophagus that the Invisible Son saw in the main tomb chamber.

After all, this is not the main tomb chamber, and the people buried here should just be companions in the main tomb.

Unlike the scattered bones in the corner, the person who can lie in the coffin must be someone that the tomb owner likes very much. He may be a trusted servant, or a maid who has been favored. Only people with such identities are qualified to lie in the coffin and be buried with the deceased.

It is unlikely that she was a concubine, because the coffin for a concubine is too shabby.

"Hurry, open it, there must be something inside!" the boss said excitedly.

Kaba and another man came forward to help open the coffin. There was eager anticipation in their eyes. Only the timid Khufu turned his head away in confusion.

"Hurry up, Khufu, come and help!" Kaba called to him.

Khufu: “But…”

"But what? Hurry up, this thing is heavy."

"Okay." Khufu nodded and went forward to help open the coffin.

In fact, he wanted to say that Ali was missing, but seeing that no one seemed to care, maybe there was no need to say it?

*

In the dark tomb passage, Ali knelt on the ground, crawling and whispering to himself: "Four, plus the previous ones, there are already seven. How many more do you need? I, I can lure them all. Please, let me go."

On Ali's back, the black mist condensed into a human figure. Arms made of black mist were wrapped around his neck, and the mouth opened and closed, whispering in Ali's ear.

"Ah... I understand." Ali paused, and he fell to the ground, kneeling in fear and reverence, "Yes, I will obey your orders, my master."

"I will bring more sacrifices. Please, protect your loyal servant."

"My respected king, everything is for your resurrection."
