Chapter 5 Night talk by the campfire

O'Connor and his fours followed Chen Mo and Ada Wang back to his camp.

Under the reception of Chen Mo and Aida Wang, the four of them quickly sat around the fire and baked their clothes with moisture on them.

Although several people had already had dinner on the boat, they were scared and were basically hungry. At this time, Chen Mo took out the dry food that had been prepared, but none of them were polite. Even Evelyn, a weak woman, had eaten half a piece of cake.

This is a local staple food in Egypt. It is made of flour. After baking, you can dip it in soup or eat it raw. Walking in the desert, this kind of thing is the best dry food.

"So you are archaeologists? Want to go to Hamnata?" Chen Mo deliberately pretended not to know their purpose and spoke to Evelyn.

She was just a little girl with no scheming. Chen Mo did not even use her magic ability, so she said everything just like pouring beans on bamboo tubes.

"Yes! My brother found a map from Seti I three thousand years ago, with the location of Hamnata marked on it. Unfortunately, the map was dropped on the boat and burned by fire." Evelyn said that the map from three thousand years ago that was burned, with regret on his face.

As an archaeologist who loves ancient Egyptian culture, she still regrets the map with great historical value.

"Oh? Then, wouldn't you say that you can't go to Hamnata? You don't have horses and camels, and you don't have food supplies. Now you've even burned the map. You can't get to that city of the Dead." Chen Mo looked like he was worried about them.

Hearing Chen Mo's concern, Evelyn was full of affection for the man who claimed to be a scholar from the East, and immediately explained with a smile: "Don't worry, Mr. O'Connor has been to Hamnata, and we hired him as our guide for this reason. Even if there is no map, he can bring us to Hamnata."

"Oh? Is it? Mr. O'Connor has been to Hamnata? That's really amazing!" Chen Mo looked curious and looked at O'Connor who was rubbing a gun on his side: "I heard that the city is very dangerous. Although there are treasures buried in legends, no one who has been there can come back alive."

Because all the guns were soaked in water just now, in order to avoid rust, O'Connor had to wipe all the guns clean and remove the water in the chamber.

When Chen Mo asked this, O'Connor showed a memory expression on his face, and his tone was a bit heavy: "I have indeed been to Hamnata, and it is indeed very dangerous there. The troops I am in are wiped out there."

"A army was wiped out? This is really terrible! What have you encountered? The robbers dare not attack the army. Is it a sandstorm or those..." Chen Mo, who pretended to be surprised, deliberately paused when he said this, and asked in a mysterious tone: "The legendary curse?"

"There was a group of strange men in black robes guarding there. The attack we encountered tonight was also done by that group of people. They seemed to be preventing people from approaching that place." O'Connor had already recalled his experience of encountering the Pharaoh Guards, and linked the attack he encountered tonight with it, guessing that they should be a group of people.

When Chen Mo heard O'Connor's words, he raised his eyebrows, but this was quite in line with O'Connor's character in the original movie. He is an experienced adventurer and has always been very calm in the movie. On the contrary, Evelyn, who looks innocent, is the one who has always been very reckless in his work.

However, although Chen Mo had long known their purpose and what they were going to encounter, the play still had to continue.

He asked O'Connor with a pretentious concern: "Since Hamnata is so dangerous, do you guys still want to go?"

"I just collect money and do business. If someone pays it, I will take them there. At least I still have confidence in this guy. I can bring people back if there is any danger." O'Connor said, turning the revolver in his hand and regaining his confidence.

As the person who hired O'Connor, Evelyn said persistently: "I must find Hamnata and prove that I am right! I want those who look down on me to know that I am better than them! I want people at Cambridge University to know that even if I am a woman, I can do what they cannot do! Rejecting me is the biggest mistake made by those old stubborn people!"

"Then I can only wish you a smooth trip." Chen Mo nodded when he heard O'Connor and Evelyn say this, and said nothing.

Jonathan, who was standing aside, looked very attentive and asked Aida Wang: "What about you two? Look at what you are going, where are you going? Where are you going? If you need anything, I can serve you at any time."

At this time, Jonathan looked like a male dog in heat, waving his tail at Ada Wang, but obviously Ada Wang did not like this bragging Mr. Jonathan.

Chen Mo was quite amused when he looked at Jonathan at Ada Wang Xian's attentive look, but he did not mean to look down on Mr. Jonathan.

In the plot of the movie, although Mr. Jonathan seems to be incompetent and likes to brag, he has always been very lucky. He can always accidentally get rid of danger and be more lucky to change things in a good direction without intention. It can be said that he is like being favored by gods.

Moreover, although Mr. Jonathan likes to brag, he is not without any ability. At least he is a thief with very good skills, and his marksmanship is good and his driving skills are good. Overall, he is a person with good ability and a trustworthy adventure companion.

So in the face of Jonathan's question, Chen Mo just smiled and replied: "My assistant and I are going to Thebes. I found some information. It was mentioned that Seti I once hid a treasure called the God of Death Bracelet in that city. I hope to find that bracelet. According to the information I found, the thing was related to the Scorpion King."

What Chen Mo mentioned is the treasure that can command Anubis legion in the second part of the movie, and it is also the third thing he wants to get in this world besides the Black Sutra of the Undead and the Golden Sutra of the Sun.

"King of Scorpion? I have heard of his legend, but no document can prove that he really exists!" As soon as I heard about ancient Egypt, Evelyn suddenly became excited and talked endlessly with Chen Mo: "He is a legendary figure five thousand years ago. It is said that he once led a large army to conquer the world. After seven years of war, his army was defeated and retreated to a desert. The dying Scorpion King swears to Anubis there that if Anubis can realize his wish to conquer the world, he will offer his soul to the gods! By the way, the name of the desert is..."

"Amsha, legend has it that Anubis used his divine power to turn the desert into an oasis, and built a pure gold pyramid in it." Chen Mo smiled and followed Evelyn's words.
