The Witcher: The Journey to Transcendence from Marvel.

Chapter 72 Entering Hamunaptra
The next day, everyone boarded a magnificent cruise ship, each filled with their own thoughts and expectations. This cruise ship was not only luxurious in appearance, but also extremely luxurious in interior facilities, with every detail highlighting its extraordinary status.

With ample funds, Weiss and his group of four were able to stay in luxurious single rooms. Each room was equipped with a separate bathroom and toilet, and was spacious, bright, elegantly decorated, and extremely comfortable.

When boarding the ship, O'Connor unexpectedly met his former comrade Benny. The relationship between the two was obviously not harmonious, and it could even be said to be tense.

As soon as they met, past contradictions and conflicts were instantly ignited, and they even had a fierce quarrel.

"A group of Americans hired him. I went to gather some intelligence."

After O'Connor finished speaking, he turned around without hesitation and ran quickly towards the deck.

Jonathan complained, "Who knows whether he is really gathering intelligence or going out for a drink." After that, he hurriedly followed O'Connor to the deck.

Wes and Evelyn chose to stay in their respective rooms. They sat on the balcony of their rooms, looking at the sea view in the distance, feeling the coolness and comfort brought by the sea breeze on their faces.

The cruise ship swiftly moved forward across the azure sea. Its massive hull, like a moving steel fortress, cut through the calm surface, leaving a trail of white waves. Seagulls circled in the sky, emitting bursts of cheerful cries, adding a touch of vitality and energy to the journey.

Night soon fell, a huge black curtain silently covering the entire sky. The sea in the night seemed exceptionally peaceful, broken only by the occasional sound of waves, and the lights on the cruise ship gradually lit up.

Late at night, several small boats approached the cruise ship quietly in the darkness like ghosts.

A group of mysterious people dressed in black robes and wrapped themselves tightly climbed onto the cruise ship quietly.

Their actions were silent, like ghosts in the night, and did not attract anyone's attention at all.

"Here they come." Weiss sensed the stranger coming aboard.

He did not intend to take action to deal with these people immediately, but instead wanted to see what the mysterious power in O'Connor was.

However, Evelyn's safety must be protected, so Weiss cast armor on her and hid herself with the Disillusionment Charm.

This way, even if she was attacked, Evelyn would be protected to a certain extent.

This mysterious group of people were well-trained, their skills far surpassing those of ordinary people. They were clearly elite warriors who had undergone long and rigorous training, and they all displayed extremely high flexibility and agility.

The important thing is that Wes sensed the same power in them as in O'Connor, but it was much weaker than in O'Connor.

These mysterious people are none other than the guardians of Hamunaptra - the Warriors of Megard. For three thousand years, they have been silently protecting Hamunaptra from outsiders.

"Is that power a blessing from the Egyptian gods?" Weiss speculated in his heart, "But why does O'Connor also have that power? Is he also a Megade warrior?"

Just as he was lost in thought, the invading Meccad warriors were discovered by O'Connor, and a fierce gun battle broke out between the two sides in an instant.

With two guns in hand, O'Connor immediately turned into a fearless warrior. Every time he pulled the trigger, he accurately eliminated one Magad warrior after another without showing any mercy.

Wes keenly noticed that during the battle, the mysterious power in O'Connor began to become active.

His movements became more agile and integrated with the weapon in his hand. Every shot seemed to be precisely calculated, with almost no wasted bullets.

Several times, just when the Meccad warriors' bullets were about to hit O'Connor, something would always block them: a flying vase or a bystander who was caught in the act.

Wes saw all of this. These seemingly accidental events actually seemed to be manipulated by some incredible force behind the scenes.

After the death of the Meggard warriors, the mysterious power in them was transferred to O'Connor, making O'Connor more courageous in battle.

Weiss noticed that every time a Megade warrior fell, O'Connor's strength seemed to increase. This power was like an invisible shield, not only protecting O'Connor, but also giving him extraordinary fighting abilities.

Wes realized that [O'Connor's identity is not simple. ]

At this time, the Meccad warriors began to set fire to the ship. The fire spread quickly, devouring everything like a ferocious beast.

The blazing fire lit up the dark night sky, making crackling sounds.

Many people were burned to death, and their screams echoed in the night sky, which was horrifying.

Those who were smart had already decisively abandoned the ship because it was not far from the land. In the end, the cruise ship was completely engulfed in fire and finally sank.

After O'Connor brought Evelyn and Jonathan to safety, he began to look around.

"Wes? Where's Wes?" he called out anxiously, worried whether Wes had escaped the fire safely.

"I'm here." Wes stood on the shore safely, without any damage, not even his clothes were wet, as if nothing that had just happened had affected him.

"How did you do it?" Evelyn looked at Weiss strangely, but she didn't think much about it.

However, O'Connor and Jonathan were very wary.

"Who are you?" O'Connor's hand touched the revolver at his waist, and his intuition told him that Wes was not an ordinary person.

Weiss didn't answer him directly, but changed the subject: "The Americans are ready to leave."

An untimely voice came from the distance, "Eat shit, O'Connor," Benny taunted loudly, "I'm always one step ahead of you."

"Damn it, we have to hurry." O'Connor put the things on his back and felt the weight of them: "We have to buy some camels."

They came to a nearby market and found a camel seller in a corner of the market. After some bargaining, they bought six camels at once, two of which were used specifically for carrying things.

These camels are tall and strong and look very suitable for long-distance travel.

They quickly caught up with the Americans in front. The Americans had organized dozens of people and seemed to want to make a big move in Hamunatta.

They were well-equipped and clearly well-prepared.

After several days of crossing the desert, they finally arrived at an open area in the early morning.

There was nothing here except some rubble. It was quiet all around except for the sound of the wind blowing gently.

"We're here." O'Connor patted the camels' faces and prepared food and water for them. "Eat more, because you'll have to work hard later."

Jonathan looked around and found that there was nothing here except the flat terrain.

"Maybe you've come to the wrong place. There's nothing in this damn place."

O'Connor smiled and ignored Jonathan's question.

"The time hasn't come yet. You'll know when the time comes." O'Connor kept it a secret. His mysterious look made Jonathan even more impatient, but it also aroused Evelyn's curiosity.

The sky gradually brightened, and when the sun rose from the horizon and the first ray of sunlight shone on the desert, an ancient city appeared faintly.

The ancient city seemed to have come out of a dream. It appeared and disappeared in the morning light, like a mirage.

"What is this???" Evelin covered her mouth. She stared in disbelief at the ancient city that suddenly appeared before her, as if she were in another time and space.

"Stop talking nonsense and go!" O'Connor turned over and rode on the camel. "If we miss the time, we won't be able to enter Hamunaptra." As he spoke, he whipped the camel and the camel began to run towards Hamunaptra with all its might.

Weiss and the others quickly mounted their horses and followed closely behind.

Dozens of camels began to gallop at once, raising a cloud of dust. Weiss used magic to speed up the six camels, and they were the first to rush into Hamunaptra.

"Benny, you're late." O'Connor mocked Benny who had arrived.

Benny had no choice but to take the Americans to find another place to set up camp.

They came for the money and didn't want to conflict with Weiss and the others.
