Chapter 148 Chapter 148

Professor Bearded and Thor stared at him blankly, unable to react for a moment to what had just happened.

The man in front of him was very handsome, with deep facial features. His jet-black hair was slightly curly but not frizzy. His shoulder-length hair was casually tied up at the back of his head, and his messy hair had a somewhat lazy charm.

Look at the man's clothes, simple jeans and a T-shirt, both of simple and cheap style and fabric, but they make the man look classy.

Thor was not the same, but he couldn't help but be stunned when he saw such a handsome man. Then he remembered those ferocious cats. He walked around the brown-skinned man and looked behind him. The cats turned into black mist and disappeared.

The brown-skinned man tilted his head in confusion and looked at the two people sitting there in a daze. He stretched out his hand. The bearded man came back to his senses and quickly grabbed his hand and stood up: "Oh, yes, we are fine. Thank you very much for your help. Let me introduce myself. I am Professor James of Archaeology, and this is my student Thor."

Thor behind him also stood up awkwardly, only then realizing that he had been staring at the other person for a little too long.

"My name is Shamon, a traveler." The brown-skinned man Shamon said with a smile. His smile was very friendly and it was difficult for people to be wary of him, even in an ancient tomb.

Normally at this time one would suspect that the other party was a grave robber, but both Professor James and Thor subconsciously believed that this man would not do such a thing.

"Traveler, did you fall here by accident?" Professor James was surprised. "You are so lucky to be able to walk here. You know, this is the ancient tomb of the ancient Missi Kingdom. The tomb passage above the real tomb is like a maze, full of various traps. If you don't have a certain understanding of the ancient tombs of the Missi Kingdom, it is easy to die in the traps. It is even more said that you can reach the tomb below smoothly..."

"Professor?" Thor interrupted the professor, "Should we leave here first?"

The weird cat just now has left a huge psychological shadow on Thor. Now Thor feels that there is something harmful hidden behind everything he sees. He is eager to leave this weird place, return to his safe home, have a cup of hot chocolate, and never go to the tomb again.

At least he really doesn't want to visit those tombs that have not been excavated and are still in dangerous conditions.

"Yes, let's leave here first." The professor with a beard came back to his senses and nodded repeatedly. He looked at the tomb passage he came from. There was still a huge stone slab blocking the way out, so he couldn't leave.

"Shamon, did you come in from another tomb passage?" asked the professor.

Shamon looked back at the entrance to the tomb and said, "Yes, the road below is also difficult to walk on."

"Okay, I understand." The professor nodded, "I'll study it..."

Although he said he wanted to study the way out, the professor's eyes were always on the funerary objects on the other side of the corner. In this tomb, apart from a corpse lying in the corner of the wall, who died here at an unknown time, the rest were pottery jars placed in various corners of the tomb, but no coffin.

This is not surprising. The tombs in the catacombs are divided into several chambers. The largest and innermost is the room of the tomb owner. The adjacent chambers are where his wife or other close people are buried. There are burial objects in these chambers. Outside, there are places such as treasure rooms and antechambers for daily necessities. These chambers are adjacent to each other, and then through a long tomb passage, there will of course be traps and wrong forks in the middle, which are the chambers for burial objects and sacrificial victims.

If the tomb is regarded as the king's underground palace, the main tomb chamber and the adjacent rooms are the underground sleeping chambers of the deceased, as well as the office and treasure rooms. The other places separated by the long tomb passage are where the servants and slaves who serve the king underground stay.

This tomb looks like a sacrificial tomb, but there are no bones of the victims buried here, except for the corpse that is obviously a modern human.

Placing a pile of pottery jars in a corner was a waste of the tomb chamber and was not in line with the custom of the ancient Mississippi tombs that the professor had been studying.

"Could it be that a grave robber has been here?" the professor said to himself. He wanted to reach out and pick up the pottery jar to examine it, but a hand grabbed his arm.

The professor looked at the sand that blocked his way, and the handsome brown-skinned man smiled and said, "I think it's better for you not to touch them."

"Why?" asked the professor.

"It's dirty in here," said Shamon.

The professor was stunned for a moment. He had studied ancient tombs and naturally had contact with ancient skeletons. He was not shocked by this incident. He just wondered how the man in front of him knew this.

"I opened it and looked at it." Shamon seemed to know what the professor was thinking. He pointed at the body in the corner and explained, "The internal organs are fresher. They probably belong to him."

The professor showed a puzzled look on his face. He subconsciously believed what Shamon said, but he didn't understand it.

Those cats just now must be the monsters circulating on the Internet. Would a monster deliberately kill a person, take out his internal organs, and put them in a jar?

"Let's go." Thor's voice was trembling. "I think it's scary here. Let's leave here as soon as possible, in case those cats show up again..."

Thor paused after finishing his words, and a strange feeling emerged in his heart.

This man had beaten the weird cats apart before? Why, how could he do that?

Thor's gaze turned to the handsome face of the brown-skinned man. The other party noticed his gaze, turned his head, and looked at him with dark and deep eyes. The brown-skinned man smiled slightly, and Thor's head suddenly became light. All his eyes were filled with Shamon's gentle smile, and all the doubts just now were thrown behind him.

"Let's leave here," Shamon advised the professor. "It's dangerous here."

"Yes, it's very dangerous." The professor nodded quickly, "Let's go, I'll find a way. This place should be connected to the tomb passage above, and we can get out."

Thor followed the professor and whispered, "I definitely don't want to be buried here."

Shamon walked at the end, bending down and following Thor into the downward tomb passage. The two people in front had their backs to him, and taking advantage of the fact that they couldn't see him, Shamon began to make some small moves.

He put his right hand behind him and turned into black mud, which fell to the ground in a large piece, and then returned to its original state. Only the black mud squirmed to the jar that the professor wanted to play with before, and the black mud opened its body and swallowed the jar.

The live broadcast room in the weird comment section was completely blown up after seeing this scene.

[I always thought this was a human! ! ! ! ]

[Haha, when I saw the split screen suddenly appear in this live broadcast room, I knew something was wrong. At first, I thought it was nothing when I saw two archaeologists, and I also thought it was nothing when they accidentally met a handsome man, until now! ]

[No, he looks like an ordinary handsome man. How can he be weird?]

【Maybe it’s not weird? 】

What does it mean?

[The previous statement means that this person is not a weird person, but an awakened person. There are more and more awakened people now, and not all of them are captured by the weird live broadcast room. For example, there is one in our country, and no one knows how he awakened until one day he burned into a fireball on the street. ]

[Burning into a fireball...wait, the person in front of you, are you in the United States? ]

[Yes, you saw the news, right? ]

[Yes, 'Shocked, someone in the United States set himself on fire on the street, the flames shot up to more than three meters high', I also watched the short video. After the local fire alarm sounded, people tried to put out the fire, but they couldn't put it out. Ten minutes later, the flames disappeared automatically, and a white and shiny young man appeared. ]

[Yes, that's him. He has awakened the power of fire and is known as the Flame Superman. He is one of the Americans who went to China to learn the secrets. He is terrible because he can't control his power well. He has burned his clothes and ran naked on the street several times. His photos are very popular on the Internet. You can see them if you look for them. They are very clear.]

【I don’t want to watch it at all.】

[Why would an awakened person like this go out? Just stay at home. ]

[His house had already burned down before.]

【For a moment I didn’t know whether I should pity him or envy him.】

[You must be jealous, for an awakened person like him, it’s not easy to get a new house, and it can even be a huge villa. ]

[Speaking of the American awakened people going to China to borrow secret books, they were promised to add one more person for a higher price. The United States seemed to protest this because the price of adding one more person was quite high, and even questioned China, "Are you going to use this money to build a palace?"]

[The price is too low. How can we explain to people from other countries why the United States can bring one more person?]

[Don't worry about the United States. They don't have much else but a lot of money.]

【Speaking of which, the Dotar country in the East Continent also proposed to pay more money to bring more people, and they wanted to add more than one person. Lao Mi thought the cost of adding more people was too expensive, but the Dotar country said it didn't care and even planned to bring the three princes in the country to learn about "superpowers."】

[Dotal is a small country and a monarchy, but it has money. After all, it is an oil-rich country.]

【What is the result? 】

【China agreed, and also said that if other countries wanted to bring more people, it would be no problem at all, as long as they paid.】

[However, except for the United States and Dotary, other countries do not bring more people. If you bring a few people and learn, you can teach others after returning home. There is not much point in paying extra money to bring more people. Especially the cost of adding extra people is so high. ]

[I heard that the United States originally did not intend to pay more money to bring more people, but Chinese diplomats kept squeezing into the United States, asking them in a roundabout way whether they were poor. If they did not have money for the time being, they did not need to come. When China had studied the secrets thoroughly in the future, it would automatically open up, so there was no need to rush to learn.]

[I can imagine the expression on the US president's face when he heard this. It was basically like, "Either pay more and bring more people, or don't come." It's a tough approach. ]

[There is no other way. The secret book is in China's hands. Unless you find a weird merchant to trade it with, you can only accept it.]

[I haven't seen the weird businessman in the weird live broadcast recently, but I have seen the others a few times. Where is Bai Yixin? ]

【Who knows. 】

[I would like to ask, when can other countries go to China to learn the secrets? ]

[The date seems to be set for next Friday. ]

【Isn't that ten days later?】

[The place to learn the secret book is probably in Beijing, the capital of China. 】

[It is certain that the secret book was sold in the capital of China.]

[Hey, you guys go check out the live split screen, something's wrong with the tomb robber over there!!]

After a comment popped up, a group of people below expressed their interest and left one after another. The comment area of ​​the live broadcast room suddenly became quiet. Most of the audience had left. Because the live broadcast camera moved with the three people instead of focusing on the previous tomb chamber, not many people stayed to watch the boring process of the professor and the other two climbing the tomb passage.

Therefore, no one noticed Shamon's slightly frowned brow. He raised his hand and placed it on the wall of the tomb passage. Some of the melted black mud under his palm flowed out and seeped into the cracks between the stones and soon disappeared.
