In a short while, the bandits were either dead or wounded, and all of them lost their ability to fight.
Zheng Zha, Ling Dian, and Qi Teng jumped off the boat and brought the surviving person back on board for interrogation.
Evelyn, Jonathan, O'Connor, and the other passengers and sailors on the ship were also awakened by the gunshots. They came out to check and learned that Jiang Liu and his group had defeated the bandits. They were relieved and cheered for them.
"You're going to Hamunaptra, right? Don't even dream about it, you can't possibly handle that monster!"
The captured bandit was a middle-aged man with a long, horse-like face, tattoos all over his face, and a thin frame. He was staring at Jiang Liu. "You are a powerful alchemist, but compared to that monster, you are not enough! You do not have the ability to stir up a sandstorm!"
“It seems you know what we’ll encounter on our journey ahead.” Jiang Liu stepped forward, ripped open the other man’s sleeve, revealing a peculiar tattoo on the back of his hand. It was triangular, with an eye in the center and a cobra coiled on each side.
Upon seeing the pattern, O'Connor's eyes widened, and she quickly stepped in front of the man, saying, "Perhaps this is a misunderstanding!"
Can I ask him first?
Please!
As an Englishman, O'Connor had a tattoo on the back of his hand that was exactly the same as the bandit's, and it had been bothering him ever since, as he didn't know who had gotten it.
Now that he has finally met someone with the same tattoo, someone who can help him find clues, even if his current actions are extremely unwise, he wants to find out the reason, even if there is only a sliver of hope.
“Hey, O’Connor, don’t forget, we’re the ones who rescued you. Do you really want to collude with these ruthless thieves?” Jonathan mocked.
“Okay.” Jiang Liu raised his hand, stopping Jonathan, who wanted to “borrow the tiger’s power”.
Seeing that Jonathan had actually stopped, O'Connor took a deep look at Jiang Liu and realized that the person in charge of this team was not Evelyn, but this mysterious Eastern boy.
Evelyn—
Perhaps it's just a "key" to unlocking the exploration of Hamunaptra.
“How can we let him do whatever he wants?” However, Evelyn herself was unaware of this.
“Ms. Evelyn, since O’Connor is a guide, shouldn’t we give him the respect he deserves?” Jiang Liu was also interested in O’Connor’s hidden identity, so he tried to persuade Evelyn.
"OK then."
In any case, thanks to Jiang Liu and the other Easterners he recruited, everyone on the ship escaped disaster. Therefore, Evelyn decided to give Jiang Liu face, but she still said, "But this is a one-time exception!"
"No problem, teacher! I'll definitely do it next time!"
Jiang Liu smiled and assured her, then said to O'Connor, "Ask whatever you want, but I hope you won't be plotting anything with them later."
"Don't worry, I just want to know where this tattoo came from."
As he spoke, O'Connor ripped off the cloth wrapped around his right hand, revealing a tattoo identical to the bandit's.
"The Holy Mark of Medgar!"
Who knew—
The bandit stared wide-eyed at the tattoo on O'Connor's body, his eyes filled with disbelief. "An Englishman with the Medgar mark? No! You have Egyptian blood! You're like me, a descendant of the Pharaoh's guards! This Medgar mark is proof of being passed down through generations!"
O'Connor: "???"
Later, the bandit revealed their identities: they were not bandits who made a living by plundering, but Medgar warriors who had guarded Hamunaptra and the rest of Egypt's secret realms for generations.
They usually blend into all walks of life in Egypt, disguising themselves as ordinary people, but at crucial moments, they will take action to stop those who want to explore the secrets of ancient Egypt.
At best, they'll be frightened so they won't dare set foot there again; at worst, they'll be killed as a warning to others.
"The Medgar Warrior? I once saw it in a book about ancient Egypt from Flamel College."
Among the Flammel trio, Hermione spoke up, "Legend has it that the Medgar warriors were guards of the Pharaoh and his daughters. They were brave and decisive, and once wielded the Spear of Osiris to pierce the Scorpion King's heart, ending his reign and causing the Amshe Oasis to disappear from the world forever."
"So I am a descendant of the Pharaoh's guards?"
When O'Connor learned the origin of the tattoo, he also made some guesses about the origin of the tattoo on the back of his hand—perhaps it was tattooed on him by his father or mother, symbolizing the glory of his ancestors.
However, he did not feel any sense of honor or pride as a result.
After all, ancient Egypt is a thing of the past.
Although O'Connor didn't feel much of a sense of belonging to her homeland, she ultimately considered herself British, not a descendant of any pharaoh's guard...
# Chapter 517 Each with Their Own Plans
"OK!"
After learning the origin and meaning of the tattoo on the back of his hand, O'Connor distanced himself from the bandit, or rather, one of the Medgar warriors, and said, "You may kill him now."
"you!"
The Medgar warrior stared wide-eyed at O'Connor in disbelief—
After learning that he was a Medgar warrior, not only did he not speak up for his fellow countryman, but he even told outsiders that they could kill him!
This is a disgrace to the warriors of Medgar!
“The Medgar emblem is not worthy of being tattooed on your body!” the Medgar warrior roared.
"I don't want this thing either."
Speaking of this, O'Connor got angry and yelled at the Medgar warrior, "Do you know how long I was ridiculed by my peers when I was a kid because of this tattoo?"
It forced me to keep my clothes wrapped in cloth!
Now I know, it's all the tradition of you stubborn, outdated bastards who deserve to be eliminated by the times!
If my parents weren't already dead, I would definitely have a huge fight with them right now!
Medgar Warrior: "..."
Zheng Zha asked in confusion, "Don't foreigners all like tattoos?"
O'Connor: "???"
He felt offended!
Qi Teng explained in a low voice, "Brother Zheng, that's your stereotype. When it comes to tattoos, apart from the traditional customs of some ethnic groups or teenagers who are pursuing individuality during their rebellious phase, most people don't get tattoos."
Upon hearing this, Zheng Zha felt somewhat embarrassed.
After this little incident, Jiang Liu did not execute the remaining Medgar warriors, but instead kept them in the group for the time being.
O'Connor only knew the location of Hamunaptra, but not its interior, while these Medgar warriors might know the structure of the City of the Dead...
···
"The Zhongzhou team has already left the field."
At the same time.
The captain of the Indian team contacted the captain of the East Sea team, "Kuraki, how are your preparations going?"
"Our new recruits have donned the Scorpion Emperor's Death Bracelet and found the location of the Amshe Oasis, but all we see in front of us is a barren cliff; it doesn't look like there's an oasis at all," replied Miyata Kuraki, captain of the East Blue team. "Perhaps the first part hasn't ended yet, so the second part hasn't started?"
"Impossible. Horror movie worlds are based on real worlds. Even if the main god wants to increase the difficulty, it still has to be logical. It can't be created out of thin air."
Furthermore, through a one-time access privilege, I learned that this horror movie world is quite unique, incorporating many other plotlines, and even the Main God Space itself has difficulty directly interfering with the development of this world's plot..."
Gan Tian, the captain of the Indian team, denied it, saying, "In any case, since the Death Bracelet exists, then the Amshe Oasis is there. Perhaps entering the real oasis requires the right method. You guys should look for it again."
The Zhongzhou team is very strong. We have already fought against them, and one of their members could kill three of our team's strongest members in an instant.
They definitely won't let the free side quests and reward points go to waste, so we must trust each other to have any chance of survival!
"I understand, no need to remind me!"
Miyata Kuraki hung up the call immediately. Looking at the desert and cliffs scorching in the sun, he couldn't help but curse, "But this place doesn't look like a place with an oasis at all."
Then, with a wave of his hand, a beautiful young girl in a kimono escorted an adult in a suit, looking flustered, with a gold bracelet with a wolf's head and scorpion's body on his left wrist.
“Aoi Sora, next you will take the new recruits to explore the surrounding area and make sure to find the true entrance to the Amshe Oasis.”
Miyata Kuraki instructed, "Think carefully. Even in the early 20th century, there were many explorers from various countries. If the Amshe Oasis really exists, it is very likely that, like Hamunaptra, it exists in another space and can only be revealed under specific lighting or at specific times."
The Death Bracelet: If the wearer does not reach the Amshe Oasis within seven days, they will die.
We arrived in three days... but we can't just sit around waiting for the remaining four days; we must find a way to get into the oasis ahead of time and find the Scorpion King.
Analyzing the scene where Imhotep kneels in submission to the Scorpion King, it's clear that the Scorpion King is not just a half-human, half-scorpion monster, but also possesses intelligence.
Therefore, cooperation is possible!
If the Scorpion King cannot leave the temple or the Amshe Oasis, he can lure the Central Continent team to the Amshe Oasis to achieve his goal of killing them by using them as a pawn.
The woman named Aoi Sora looked at Miyata Kuraki with eyes full of love, nodded, and immediately led the newcomer wearing the Death God bracelet to explore the vicinity.
Afterwards, Miyata Kuraki contacted the other two team members via communicator: "Mitsui, Jingu, have you found Ansuna's reincarnation?"
"Found it, Captain."
“We have contacted an American expedition team and are preparing to go to Hamunaptra together. With the reincarnation of Ansuna present, we can vaguely determine the direction.”
Upon hearing this, Miyata Kuraki pondered for a moment and said, "If we encounter the Central Continent Team, don't attack. First, test them and see how they treat us."
The Indian team cannot be fully trusted.
"understand!"
Mitsui Michika hung up the communication and looked at the slender, confident young woman in the expedition team. He couldn't help but say to the shrine maiden beside him, "Be careful of this woman, she's not someone to mess with."
The old man, known as the God of the Palace, replied, "Those who have the idea of ruling the world, whether men or women, are not easy to get along with."
Both of them had seen "The Mummy Returns" and knew that Anchorna's reincarnation, Rice, was a ruthless character with great ambition and a thirst for power that surpassed his love for Imhotep.
Or perhaps—
From beginning to end, Imhotep was just a pawn she used. Once Imhotep lost her magic and could no longer resurrect her or help her rule the world, she was just a discarded pawn.
the other side.
After ending communication with the East Sea team, Gan Tian of the Indian Ocean team received a message from Yorifu, ordering the rest of the team to bring him back.
The brainwashed Yori put Xuena down and said, "They took the initiative to let Xuena and me come back. They didn't know anything about the East America Team and the East Sea Team and didn't want to become the target of everyone's attacks. However, they removed the weapons from my body and crippled Xuena."
Damn it!
Gan Tian was actually quite happy that Yorif and Xuenai were able to return, but Yorif was without his weapon and his strength was reduced to less than one-tenth, and Xuenai had become an idiot. This meant that their team had lost an important intelligence gathering channel—was the Central Continent Team merciful? This was clearly an attempt to exclude their Indian Continent Team first!
"We've found you!"
Just then, a handsome young man with long hair emerged from a nearby sand dune, holding a jet-black dagger about forty centimeters long with blood-red patterns flowing across it. He revealed an exaggerated smile that was almost perverted, "Looks like you've run into the Central Continent Team and been crushed. How unfortunate!"
