Chapter XXVII
In Egyptian mythology, the jackal is a symbol of the gods, especially for the guardian family, the gods are the objects of their lifelong worship, Liu Minghao can control the incarnation of the gods at will, in their eyes, it is equivalent to the messenger of the gods, even if someone has doubts about this, they will never risk the danger of angering the gods, to provoke him.

This is also the main reason why Liu Minghao intends to show that their ultimate task is to eliminate Immorton, and the power of the United Guardian clan is necessary, perhaps in the process of completing the entire task, they have to act with each other, so if they show enough strength, they can take the initiative in the action and gain the right to speak, which has a more direct effect than carefully maintaining the relationship between the two sides.
Receiving the complicated eyes of everyone's frightened eyes, Liu Minghao raised his eyebrows slightly and quietly withdrew his gaze.
"Either way, our relationship has now gone from hostile to cold." The man's gaze paused slightly, staring at somewhere in the void, obviously looking at the task prompt in the light curtain, and grinned, "It seems that it is still a little difficult to make the relationship friendly." ”
"Don't be in a hurry, just enter their station, we have articles to do." Liu Minghao didn't care about the authenticity, his expression was determined, and he seemed to have a bamboo in his chest.
"Speaking of which, we haven't introduced each other yet." The man's inquiring gaze wandered on Liu Minghao's face for a moment, and he didn't continue to ask, but changed the topic, "I'm Jiang Jie." ”
"Liu Hao." Liu Minghao nodded slightly and briefly reported his name.
Neither of them is a simple-minded fool, although Jiang Jie seems to be very aggressive, in fact, he has a lot of eyes, which can be seen from the level of his nonsense.
And Liu Minghao has always been cautious, under any circumstances, he will never easily trust anyone, even if he is bound by the team agreement, he has no intention of saying his real name.
So when he heard Jiang Jie's very popular and 100% fake name, Liu Minghao didn't show anything unusual.
The name is just a code name, the two of them at this time because of the same task, work together, after leaving this world, it is the bridge to the bridge and the road to the road, the next time they meet, it is impossible to say whether it is friend or foe, naturally there is no need to care about the truth of the name.
As he spoke, a muffled sound came from the tomb, and the figures of several of the people who entered the chamber appeared at the entrance.
The elder named Els walked at the end, and at the doorway, he pressed a certain mechanism on the side of the door, and then walked out of the tomb quickly, and the roar sounded, and the heavy stone door slowly lowered, completely sealing the exit......
Thirty minutes later, Liu Minghao and Jiang Jie rode their horses and followed the team back to the oasis deep in the desert where the Guardian clan had lived for generations.
As soon as everyone entered the periphery of the station, a clansman who heard the movement ran out, and the man's face was full of eagerness, and as soon as he saw Els, he immediately greeted his horse, and said with a panicked expression, "Elder Els, it's not good, Patriarch he ......."
Els's face immediately changed slightly, and he jumped on his horse with a vigor that did not suit his age, and walked briskly towards the tent in the center of the station, while hurriedly asking the clansman who followed closely behind, "How is it?" The patriarch's injuries have worsened again? ”
After a few words, Els walked to the tent, and the sound of the conversation reached the tent, and immediately someone lifted the heavy felt curtain from inside and let the two in.
The other people were also solemn, with a hint of worry between their eyebrows, gathered outside the tent, looking at each other, and the atmosphere was very dull.
Liu Minghao and Jiang Jie glanced at each other, and did not rush forward, but followed Hopt through the camp and into a fairly tidy tent to rest temporarily.
Hopt is the middle-aged man who can barely support under the mental attack of the jackals, he is strong, with a rare tall and mighty desert people, and his strength is not bad, he has a lot of status in the group, Ells arranged for him to entertain the two, which can be regarded as a gesture of goodwill.
After settling the two, Hoput turned around and walked to the door, and saw the jackal-headed man standing outside the tent, wearing a black cloak, like a guard, and looked at Liu Minghao with some embarrassment, hoping that he could let the jackal-headed man also enter the tent, so as not to frighten the women and children in the station.
His request was very reasonable, Liu Minghao naturally would not refuse, and immediately nodded in agreement.
Watching the jackal-headed man who received the order enter the tent and stand motionless in the corner, Hopt's lips squirmed slightly, and he stopped talking, and finally only sighed softly, indicating that someone would soon arrange for lunch and water to be served, and then turned to leave.
Liu Minghao and Jiang Jie both saw that his expression was different, but they didn't say anything to stay, although the two became partners temporarily, they never had a chance to stop and discuss the next action.
They are not explorers who come here to experience the adventurous life, and the system gives a 48-hour time limit for the mission, which hangs over their heads like a time bomb, always reminding the two of them to do everything possible to complete the task within the stipulated time.
Not to mention, they are facing the powerful evil spirit Immorton, and if they want to solve this ultimate enemy, they can't succeed by blindly brute force, so they need to plan carefully.
As soon as Hopt left, Jiang Jie walked to the door, looked out to make sure that no one was eavesdropping, thought about it, lifted the curtain at the door again, and then turned around and walked back.
This is both ventilated and open-sighted, and the outside situation can be monitored at any time, and someone can immediately detect it when someone approaches, so as to avoid the conversation between the two falling into the ears of a third party, which kills two birds with one stone.
After all, in the movie space, revealing any information about their identities will be severely punished by the system, and even if there is no conspiracy, the conversation between the two must not be listened to by others.
"The smell in this tent is really flattering." Jiang Jie sat cross-legged on the ground, touched the felt carpet under him, which was no longer colored, and pursed his lips with some disgust.
Liu Minghao raised his eyebrows slightly, but he didn't say anything, his requirements for the environment were not high, when he was on a special mission, he had been lurking in the bushes of the tropical rainforest for three months, and he had already practiced the skills to quickly adapt to the harsh environment in the shortest possible time under any circumstances.
After casually talking a few words of gossip, Jiang Jie turned back to the topic and briefly explained the information he had gotten from Els's mouth along the way that might be helpful to the mission.
Liu Minghao nodded slightly, these situations are basically the same as his inference, even if there are a little discrepancies, it does not affect the overall situation, but he really admires Jiang Jie, riding a horse and galloping all the way, only having two short breaks in the middle, he can even hear so many things, which can be regarded as a strange ability in Liu Minghao's opinion.
Just then, Hotep sent for water and food, and the two stopped discussing the task and talked about the desert scenery.
Liu Minghao picked up the water bladder and drank a few sips, while Jiang Jie frowned and looked at the black bread on the table, and finally simply pushed it aside, resolutely expressing his unwillingness to wronged his taste.
"Their patriarch, the leader of the men in black in the movie, is called Adesbey, who should be injured a lot." Jiang Jie waited until the middle-aged woman who was delivering the food walked away, then he winked at Liu Minghao, and stretched out his hand to point at the jackal-headed man standing in the corner, "But it sounds like he wasn't injured by Immorton, but a monster similar to that guy." ”
Liu Minghao picked up a piece of dry and hard black bread, tore off a slice and stuffed it into his mouth, chewed it a few times, and frowned slightly, "According to the plot of the movie, Immorton has just recovered, and he should not have such a strong power, and he can summon the monks and the undead who accompany the burial, and it is only after devouring the four people who opened the treasure chest that the strength can be fully restored." So, could it be that the plot has changed that we don't know about? ”
However, if what Jiang Jie said is true, this solves a question in Liu Minghao's heart, using the jackal people to deter the guardians, and then reaching a reconciliation, it went too smoothly, the other party gave up resistance almost without the slightest struggle, and now it seems that maybe it is because they have seen the terrible jackals and know that they can't resist at all, so they will accept Jiang Jie's fabricated rhetoric so easily.
"It's also possible." Jiang Jie nodded, gently stroked the snake beast on his wrist, took out a brown bead, and stuffed it into its mouth, "Although my strength is not as good as yours, I have experienced a few more movie worlds than you, according to my experience, although I have not received relevant task tips, but in such a situation, there is only one possibility." ”
Liu Minghao's pupils shrank slightly, and he immediately realized what Jiang Jie meant, "You mean, besides us, there are other trialists who have entered this world, and they are the reason for the major changes in the plot." ”
"That's right." Jiang Jie nodded affirmatively, "In the last world, I encountered such a situation, usually, when a hostile trialist appears, the system will give a hint when the task is released, but it seems that there is some kind of prop that can hide its own information when entering, so as to avoid the hostile party from secretly attacking." So neither you nor I received the system's prompts. As far as I can guess, the other side is likely to enter before we do, and the mission is the opposite of ours, to assist Immorton, not kill him. ”
Liu Minghao groaned slightly, Jiang Jie's speculation coincided with his thoughts, in the world of the Matrix, when he killed that trialist, he realized that such a situation would happen.
This means that the enemies they face are not only the powerful Immorton, but also the Trialists who hide behind Immorton and help him achieve his goals.
"No matter what, we can only go down one step at a time." Liu Minghao shook his head, no longer guessing out of thin air, even if the plot changes, the basic main line should not deviate too much, otherwise they will not be able to predict Immorton's actions at all, and eliminating the other party in just 48 hours is simply an impossible task.
