Chapter 236: A Small Divide of the Loot (Two in One)

Bang! Reiner rushed forward and stomped heavily on the chain dragging on the ground.

clang!
The stretched iron chain directly grabbed the opponent, and the barbs in the collar on it were pulled, and the cobra's pupils instantly widened and showed a look of pain.

"Where can you run if you're tied up? It seems like I overestimate you to say you're smart." Reiner said sarcastically with contempt.

This snake looks sneaky, but actually a little cute.

The cobra looked back with a fierce and unwilling look in its eyes. If I wasn't hungry, I would definitely beat you up and then swallow you!

call out!
The cobra opened its mouth, bared a pair of deadly fangs, and suddenly sprayed out a stream of venom.

Reiner bent his five fingers, and the air seemed to be held in his hands and thrown out with force!

"Breaking Punch·Bomb!"

boom!
The concentrated impact flew out like a cannonball, hitting the column of venom and shattering it.

It splashed on the walls and the ground and emitted smoke, which showed that the toxin was highly corrosive.

Isn't this a replica of Magellan?

Reiner became even more interested in it. He had talked with Nami about raising a pet in the future.

She wanted to raise cats and dogs, saying they were human-like. Reiner suggested raising Chopper, who was more human-like.

As expected, Nami objected.
And a fist.

Reiner stepped firmly on the chain and began to look at the other party. Now that he thought about it, it might be a good idea to catch this snake and raise it?

Pointing at the cobra, he turned back to her and asked calmly, "Nami, what do you think of it, pet."

"You're so nervous!"

Nami's forehead was bulging with veins, and she clenched her fists and yelled, "This thing doesn't look like it can be tamed! And it's not cute at all!"

Nani!

Hearing this, Cobra's eyes widened and glared at Nami.

I am the Lord of the Earth! The Guardian of the Desert, what are you yelling at me for!
boom!
Reiner went up and punched it hard on the head, scolding it: "You are ignorant, this is your master!"

Cobra shook his dizzy head and glared at Reiner, "Did I agree to your request? Why are you shouting here?"

call out!
The cobra opened its mouth and sprayed out another tube of venom, and then its thick tail swung out violently!
boom!
Reiner dodged the venom by leaning sideways, and held the snake's tail tightly with both hands.

Even though he caught it steadily, the huge force of the whip still caused his feet to slide several meters.

Reiner grinned and looked fierce, "You must give me a hundred punches as promised. If you can't take it, I won't give you up."

The armed color spread to his arms like black flames. At this moment, his defense and the power of his moves reached their normal peak.

"I don't think I will hold back, go to hell, you stinky snake!" Reiner shouted and rushed forward with his fist raised.

Whoever catches a pet here will die!
The cobra cursed in its heart, and veins seemed to appear on its dark, round head. If it could speak, it would have cursed Reiner's entire family tree by now.

The same rich armed color was wrapped around it, making its body even darker and deeper, with a faint light flowing.

I have no choice but to bite the bullet!

boom!
The fist and the snake's tail collided violently!
Reiner raised his lips and began to count, "One punch!"

Angry Snake: Count those two punches just now, you bastard!
boom!
boom!
boom!
"Sixty-six punches!"

Reiner's counting never stopped. "Sixty-six punches!" "Sixty-six punches!"

The snake was furious: Do you think snakes don’t know how to count? How much do you love sixty-six!
The snake's tail coiled into a circle to block another punch, and its head shook, obviously confused.

Why, why is its snake life so bitter!
He was captured since childhood to guard tombs, and could only rely on rats and the occasional tomb robbers who broke through the mechanism to fill his stomach.

Why are you still repairing the mechanism when you've already captured me?

Are you afraid that I'm too full, you bastard?!

Due to lack of food, it can only hibernate day after day to survive, hoping to break free from the collar when it grows up.

Then the collar got tighter!

Eight ducks!!
It was almost starving to death! Finally, several more people came in, and it thought it could have a good meal!
Finally I met a beast!!
Wow! !
As it was thinking, it suddenly raised its head and started crying loudly.

A ferocious and deadly cobra was crying like an ignorant child, with two tears pouring down like a waterfall.

"Well, forget it, Reiner."

"Let's let it go."

Nami and Vivi couldn't help but feel compassion, their bright eyes filled with sympathy.

When they discovered the locks on each other's bodies, several people already had guesses in their minds.

Seeing its pitiful appearance, I couldn't help but feel my heart ached, and suddenly I felt that I was cruel.

boom!
Reiner punched it again, interrupting its silent howling. He turned around and said calmly, "It hasn't taken a hundred punches yet."

That pile of sixty-sixes together is enough!

More than enough, asshole!
The cobra bared its teeth and kept beating the ground with its tail to express its anger!
Reiner understood its dissatisfaction, he did it on purpose.

This snake is very cunning. If you don't give it a beating, I don't know who will serve whom.

"never mind."

Reiner stepped forward with his hands in his pockets, and the cobra's head couldn't help but shrink back.

He looked down at me and asked, "I'll let you go, how about you be my pet?"

The cobra blinked at first and seemed to be hesitating, but it was better than waiting to die here.

It opened its mouth wide, raised its tail and pointed at its mouth.

Do you care about food?

Reiner understood and nodded, "Food, lodging, and change are provided. You can act cute for eight hours a day, and have two days off on weekends."

Snake said he didn't understand and a question mark appeared on his head, but it sounded like a very conscientious treatment, so he nodded.

"That's fine."

Reiner held out his hand and said, "Let's interview first. Shake hands."

There was a hint of doubt in the cobra's eyes. It slowly placed its tail in his hand and tilted its head.

so?

"Not bad." Reiner continued the test, "Next, make a circle."

Cobra did so.

"Lie down, raise your head, twist your waist and dance"

The Cobra performed perfectly.

"Very smart." Reiner nodded with satisfaction, and then said: "Next, do a handstand and a 360-degree backflip."

"Is this a move a snake can make?!"

boom! !

Nami cursed and gritted her teeth, then kicked Reiner into the wall!

The cobra was stunned for a moment, then used its head to hold itself upside down in the shape of a '1'. It then twisted its waist and bounced up, coiling its body into a circle and turning degrees in the air.

Perfect landing!

"You really did it!!" Nami was so shocked that her eyes popped out!

The cobra grinned triumphantly, revealing its shiny white fangs.

Reiner broke free from the wall, brushed off his clothes and said calmly, "Do you think I'm trying to make things difficult for it? I'm testing it very seriously."

"."

A group of black lines appeared on Weiwei's forehead and she looked speechless. You are just making things difficult for it, no matter how you look at it.

"all in all."

Reiner patted its head and said, "You will follow me from now on. You will be indispensable for food. Give it a name first."

The cobra nodded, opened its mouth and pointed with its tail, then touched its stomach to indicate, "Can you get some food first? The child is starving."

"I didn't bring any food." Reiner said calmly.

"."

The snake was stunned. Getting the White Snake out of nothing?
You fooled me!
"That. We brought it."

Weiwei raised her hand and spoke, taking off her backpack and opening it, dumping a lot of packaged meat onto the ground.

Cobra looked at Vivi, then at Reiner, with disdain in his eyes.

He swam to Weiwei's side, rubbed his head against her face with a flattering expression.

"It's really smart." Weiwei smiled and reached out to touch its head.

Reiner said in a low voice, "If it is really smart, it should know who to please."

As soon as he finished speaking, the cobra rolled up the food on the ground with its tail and swam back.

She gave Vivi a look of contempt, placed the bags of packaged food in front of Reiner, and grinned as if to seek credit from him.

That naive person is so easy to fool. Master, let’s eat. That’s probably what he meant.

Seeing its mean face, Reiner seemed to really understand what it was thinking.

Weiwei clenched her fists and her face darkened. What a hypocritical person! It's a pity that you two can get together.

Reiner was very satisfied with its loyalty. "I originally wanted to name you 'Glasses', but now I'll change it to 'Chicken Thief'."

"Don't give me such an idiotic name!!"

duang! Nami punched him in anger.

"Hiss!" Seeing its master being bullied, the cobra narrowed its eyes coldly, bared its fangs, and stretched its head forward, with the threat evident on its face.

"Why are you staring?"

duang!

With a casual punch, Nami taught him the first lesson of being a house pet.

The cobra had a big bump on its head and retreated pitifully to Reiner's side. When it looked at Nami again, its eyes were filled with inexplicable fear.

Is this woman okay? Why did her aura suddenly change?
It wasn't like that just now, was it?

Reiner suddenly felt a little more sympathy for it, "Ahem, this is our boss, learn to be smarter next time."

To understanding.

He quickly nodded his snake head, swam forward cautiously, lifted his upper body and coiled it around as a seat, flatteringly motioning for Nami to sit on it.

Just call him a cunning guy, Reiner stroked his chin thoughtfully.

"Don't think of some weird names." Nami glanced at Reiner unhappily, sat on the snake's back and thought for a while, then said: "Since it is an Apis snake, I will call it Apis from now on."

"So ordinary." Reiner muttered.

"It's settled." Nami didn't accept the rebuttal and asked, "What do you think?"

Pease nodded quickly and agreed to do whatever the boss said.

Next, Reiner helped Peace remove the shackles. It quickly swallowed a large amount of food, and under Nami's instructions, it carried Vivi on its back and took them deeper into the underground palace.

After a difficult conversation, everyone learned that there was a huge tomb inside, which was the purpose of building this underground palace and the burial place of King Set and Queen Nephthys.

There are many mechanisms along the way, most of which have lost their effectiveness because they have not been triggered for too long.

It's useless even if it works.

He walked through the tomb as if he was in an empty place, and violently pushed open the huge stone door.

An extremely disgusting smell hit me in the face, and the horrifying scene in front of me made my scalp tingle.

Nami and Vivi were so frightened that they fell off Pease. Their pupils were dilated as if they had lost focus, and they were shaking all over and unable to speak.

It was a huge pit with an area comparable to that of ten football fields, with an ancient trapezoidal building like an altar built in the center.

The altar was filled with gold and jewels, the amount of which was difficult to estimate, far exceeding what they had ever obtained on Sky Island, and three coffins were surrounded in it.

But at this moment, no one focused their eyes on the altar. Instead, they looked at the huge pit while suppressing the urge to vomit.

It was densely packed with rotten corpses, tens of thousands of them!
Even Reiner couldn't help feeling disgusted, and turned around and said in a deep voice: "Are they the workers who built this underground palace?"

Pease nodded in affirmation.

Reiner had heard some similar words in his previous life, but seeing it with his own eyes still gave him goosebumps.

No wonder this place has not been discovered. The east and west tribes living in the rift valley have built their imperial tombs secretly in the rift valley.

The workers who built the mausoleum were all killed and buried with the dead, so naturally only a few people knew the location of the mausoleum.

"I'm going in to take a look, what about you guys?" Reiner asked, turning around.

Nami and Weiwei looked pale and waved their hands, "We--yue!!"

As soon as the two of them opened their mouths, they couldn't help but blur out their words, and it seemed that they couldn't get in even if they wanted to.

Leaving Pease behind to protect them, Bell transformed into a falcon while Reiner and Jakka flew towards the altar where the coffin was placed.

This place is large enough to accommodate a naval warship, and the jewels and gold on the ground have lost their luster.

The three men looked heavy-hearted. They ignored the treasures all over the ground and walked straight to a huge ten-meter-high stone tablet standing behind the three coffins.

There were a lot of words carved on it, but they were not the common characters used today, so they couldn't understand them.

Bell looked up and murmured, "If it stands here, it probably records the lives of three people."

"But, apart from King Set and Queen Nephthys, whose is the other one?" Jaka looked back at the three stone coffins placed side by side.

The one in the middle is a little lower, and the engraving style on it is slightly different. It is probably the third one.

"Could it be their son? Didn't they say that the prince would succeed to the throne after their death? The mausoleum was also built after the death of King Set and his wife."

Reiner deduced it and prepared to take action, "Just pry it open and see."

"Hey, hey, hey!"

"what are you up to!"

Bell and Gaka hugged him from the left and right, and hurriedly shouted: "Don't try to pry open other people's coffins! What if it really is the ancestor of the current royal family!"

The royal guards of the two countries came to dig up the royal ancestral graves or something, what the hell!

You'll be struck by lightning if you go out!
"Hehe, there might be some traps in there, like poison or something, so let's just forget about it to be on the safe side." Gaka chuckled.

Reiner gave up in disappointment. He was not that interested in the historical truth.

Originally, his and Nami's original intention of making this trip was just to take Vivi to relive the adventure.

As for the coffin here.
Let's just leave it to them in Alabasta to research it themselves.

"Then I'll copy a copy of the stone tablet."

Reiner said, "We have someone on board who is interested in these things. Maybe he can translate the contents for you."

"You are talking about Nico Robin, right? There is no problem with this. I believe Princess Vivi will not refuse." Bell nodded.

"And there is gold here. I want to take some away. There is no doubt about that. I am a pirate. I will steal it even if you refuse." Reiner continued, pointing to the treasures all over the ground.

"It doesn't matter. Lord Reiner can take as much as he wants."

Jakka paused, then added, "Ahem, of course I still hope you can show some mercy to Alabasta, after all, given the previous incident."

"Don't worry. Your country is so poor. We won't take away all of Weiwei's assets." Lennar showed three fingers and said, "We'll split it 30% and 70%."

"Um, um. Who seven?" Bell asked tentatively.

Reiner grinned, "What do you think?"

In the end he only took 30%.

A year later, with no shortage of start-up capital, Reiner couldn't help but feel grateful for his own kindness.

 Update will resume at 8 o'clock tomorrow
