Chapter 140: Chapter 140 The Desert Camel Commander

But then again, if it’s the elixir of life, why didn’t the tomb owner consume it after obtaining it?

Wang Hao wrestled with his thoughts, not daring to test it on himself, he decided to hide the pill and take it back for further study.

He then took a closer look at the box and discovered that it contained sheets of beast skin.

Wang Hao carefully took out the beast skin and shone his flashlight on it, revealing characters.

This must have been used by the ancients to record important information, fearing that paper would rot over the years, whereas treated beast skin could remain undecayed for millennia.

The characters were ancient scripts, some resembling pictograms, others looked like cuneiform. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com

Wang Hao had learned a bit about ancient characters in his history classes and could guess what a few of them were.

"Shennong Herbal Medicine? My God, is this real or fake?"

Wang Hao couldn’t believe it, rubbing his eyes several times.

He quickly took it out and laid it on the ground to study it carefully.

Judging by the texture of the beast skin and the writing on it, it didn’t seem to be a forgery, and besides, no one could get in here, so how could it be forged?

"So whose tomb is this actually? Could it be Shen Nong’s?"

Wang Hao was amazed and hurriedly took out the pill to examine it, thinking that if Shen Nong was really involved, then perhaps this pill might truly be the elixir of life.

However, Wang Hao still couldn’t understand why, if Shen Nong had created the elixir of life, he didn’t consume it but instead took these items to his grave?

Now the answer to this question was beyond anyone’s reach.

Out of respect for his ancestors, Wang Hao decided against opening the coffin further.

"Old predecessor, since you also come from a family of medical tradition, and I too am trying to carry forward our traditional Chinese medicine, could I possibly take this beast skin..."

Wang Hao hesitated, unable to part with the "Shennong Herbal Medicine." Since it was the lifelong study of an ancestor, it shouldn’t fade into obscurity; it needed to be carried on and glorified.

After securing the sheets of beast skin, Wang Hao refrained from touching anything else and hurriedly left.

At that moment, five Treasure Hunters were still trapped on the ground, unable to move.

In fact, Wang Hao had felt the potency of the centipede’s venom when he was bitten; if it weren’t for the Dragon Tattoo Energy within him, he would have been dead by now.

The fact that these Treasure Hunters were still holding on suggested that the little pill they took had a significant effect.

"Brother, I clearly saw you were bitten too, why are you fine? Is it because you have an antidote?"

Seeing Wang Hao come out, the leader of the Treasure Hunters started to obsequiously get close to him.

"What? Want me to save you?"

Wang Hao snorted coldly.

"Just now you forced me to go in and face death without hesitation, even if I had an antidote, do you think I’d give it to you?"

Upon hearing this, the leader of the Treasure Hunters’ face changed.

"Then save one of my brothers. We’ve found quite a few treasures over the years, all of which we could give to you!"

The leader of the Treasure Hunters didn’t want the bloodline of the Desert Camels to end without an heir.

Wang Hao paid no attention and turned to leave.

"Brother, I’ll give you the Beast Head Amulet too, just as long as you save one of us."

The leader of the Treasure Hunters took out a pure gold Beast Head Amulet and called out to Wang Hao.

"What’s this Beast Head Amulet for?"

Wang Hao asked out of curiosity.

"Whoever has this Beast Head Amulet commands the Desert Camels, all of whom will follow your orders."

The leader of the Treasure Hunters explained eagerly.

"And they will surrender to you any treasure they find for you to dispose of as you see fit."

"I’m not that foolish. Aren’t you the last of the Desert Camels? Besides you, who would believe in the power of this Beast Head Amulet? Keep it for yourselves!"

Wang Hao said disdainfully.

"It’s not like that, the Beast Head Amulet is binding for all descendants of the desert camels, their ancestors took an oath before our grandmaster before they were initiated!"

"To ensure the eternal legacy of the desert camels, their descendants were immersed in the spirit of the desert camel from a young age, so among the five of us, at least one must survive."

The leader of the Treasure Hunters pleaded.

"But what does that have to do with me?"

Wang Hao wore an indifferent expression on his face.

"This..."

The leader of the Treasure Hunters did not know how to respond for a moment.

"Hey, right, did you just say that all of you would obey the commands of the person holding this Beast Head Amulet?"

Wang Hao suddenly stopped in his tracks and glanced at the Treasure Hunters’ leader with ill intent.

"Yes, as long as you, brother, promise to save one of us, we will swear to the grandmaster to recognize you as the commander of the desert camels!"

The leader of the Treasure Hunters immediately understood Wang Hao’s intention and took an oath before the grandmaster.

Wang Hao did not choose to save any particular one; he stepped forward and used the Dragon Tattoo Energy to cure their poison one by one.

"I will go ahead and drive away those centipedes, and then you can come out!"

Wang Hao, holding the Beast Head Amulet, flashed it before their eyes and reminded them again.

"Don’t forget your oath!"

As soon as Wang Hao left, the five Treasure Hunters looked at each other in surprise, unable to believe that Wang Hao had so easily cured their poison.

"Leader, why don’t we just kill him and take back the Beast Head Amulet as soon as we get out?"

The fourth member said, somewhat unwilling to accept the situation.

"Exactly, I don’t believe he has the ability to take on all five of us by himself."

The fifth member chimed in as well.

"Scoundrels, our desert camel clan has never broken an oath, and besides, this person just saved the lives of all five of us!"

The leader angrily glared at the fourth and fifth members, who immediately hung their heads in shame.

"That’s right, the leader is correct. We initially designed a trap for him, and he didn’t hold it against us. Now that he has saved us, how could we repay kindness with malice?"

The second member was an honest man and remained firmly on the leader’s side.

"Why haven’t you left yet?"

After driving away the centipedes and coming back to find them sneaking peeks at the coffin inside the palace, Wang Hao suddenly shouted.

"None of you move; anyone who dares to touch anything inside will not get off lightly if I turn against you."

As he spoke, Wang Hao pulled out a handgun, unlocked the safety, and aimed it at the five Treasure Hunters.

"Yes, yes, yes, if you tell us not to move, we definitely won’t."

The leader of the Treasure Hunters hurriedly urged the others to comply.

"Hurry up and go!"

Initially, Wang Hao had thought they were just bluffing to deceive him, but they proved astonishingly obedient to his words, greatly surprising him.

However, Wang Hao was still not at ease with them and waited for them to leave before he put away the gun.

After leaving, the five men did not depart immediately and waited for Wang Hao to come out.

"Were you the commander of the desert camels before?"

After Wang Hao came out, he pulled the Treasure Hunters’ leader to the side and asked.

"Yes!"

The leader of the Treasure Hunters answered truthfully.

Wang Hao finally could not help but ask the question that had been troubling him for days.

"Then how did the butler, Shen Bo, from the Cheng Family, find you?"
