Chapter 73: Mirage

As the fire on the passenger ship grew, all passengers chose to jump into the river to survive, including the American treasure hunt. As soon as Levy swam to shore, he heard O'Connor's angry scolding.

"It's them again!"

"Who?" asked Li Wei.

"They, the men in black I told you about earlier. O'Connor said this as he pointed to the reeds in the distance. With the help of the firelight on the boat, Li Wei vaguely saw a small boat rowing out to meet the men in black who had fallen into the water.

"We're gone!" all the tools, equipment, clothes, ......," Evelyn grumbled, the most important of which was the word for clothes at the end of the sentence. Because when she fled in a hurry, she only wore a white nightgown, and after being soaked by the river, the faint transparency was completely tempting and sinning.

"Eve, put it on for now. Fortunately, Jonathan did not forget to take his luggage with him when he fled, and he found a dark coat from his clothes and handed it to Evelyn.

"O'Connor!! looks like the horses are all with me!!," Benny, who had escaped to the other side, shouted smugly to O'Connor.

"Hey! Benny!! look. You're on the wrong shore!!" O'Connor countered.

When Benny heard O'Connor's words, he first looked around with disdain, then angrily and angrily.

"What do we do now?" asked Evelyn, who had her coat dressed.

"We just walked along the shore to reach our original destination, where we went to the oasis to resupply and buy a few camels along the way. O'Connor said.

"Then let's go! I've made a five-hundred-dollar bet with those Americans!" said Jonathan, urgently.

"Don't worry, Jonathan, you've won them at least a day. Li Wei said with a smile.

"What do you mean?"

"Didn't you hear O'Connor shouting? The Americans were on the wrong shore, and they had to go to the nearest pier and then take a boat to that pier. Li Wei explained.

"Hahaha! I see! My five hundred dollars are safe!" Jonathan smirked.

……

Li Wei and his party traveled overnight and finally arrived at the pier the next morning. After resting at the docks for a while, I bought Evelyn a few sets of clothes to cover her body, but it was no way, the dressing gown was not suitable for walking in the desert.

The oasis was actually not far from the pier, and they happened to meet a group of oasis residents who had come to the pier to replenish them, so they took their donkey cart to the oasis.

The oasis is not very large, and there are not many trees to shade it, but there are still many people who gather here to do business. First, this oasis has a small lake that can be used as a water source; second, this oasis is not far from the wharf, and many explorers will rest here, so that the oasis residents can earn some extra money; third, there is an Egyptian security force of about 20 people stationed here on the low cliff not far from this oasis.

Jonathan boasted of his good means of communicating, so he volunteered to buy camels. Evelyn was dragged away by a group of Egyptian women, using the Egyptian pounds that Levy lent O'Connor to save face.

"Oh~~ I'm a god!! you're a traitor, a liar!! I only need four! only four!"

"Just give the money. Who made you just made a buy-all gesture. Li Wei was standing aside just now, and naturally saw what happened here, and said funny.

"What?!, you said I meant to buy it all?!!" Jonathan made the same gesture again with an incredulous expression, his eyes glaring as big as they were.

"Hmm. Li Wei nodded amusefully and replied.

"I'm ......," Jonathan angrily handed over a large sum of Egyptian pounds to the camel merchant, and O'Connor and he pulled four of the more sturdy camels as mounts for the four, and the rest of the camels as pack horses, allowing them to carry food and supplies such as tents.

"Actually, you can get these camels without a penny, as long as you give your sister to this old man. O'Connor said jokingly.

"Hehehe...... Are you willing?" said Li Wei softly. I saw that Evelyn had finished her 'shopping', and her original ordinary and large coat had been changed, and now she was wearing the ordinary clothes of Egyptian women, but her face was covered with a thin black veil, which had a unique charm. Li Wei is okay, because he is old and has enough concentration (embarrassing...... O'Connor and Jonathan looked straight in the eyes, especially O'Connor, who had a crush on Evelyn, and was stunned for a few seconds before coming to his senses.

They then bought food and water, as well as blankets and a few thick clothes. In the desert, death is inevitable without water, and at night, the temperature in the Sahara Desert drops a lot, which is completely extreme compared to the extreme heat of the day, so you need thick clothes to protect you from the cold.

Led by O'Connor, a group of four and eight camels set foot into the sandy Sahara Desert to their final destination, the Tower of Hamna. At first they could see some greenery, but as they got deeper into the desert, there was no greenery except the yellow of the sand and the blue of the sky.

"I don't like camels, they are dirty and smelly, they bite and drool. Jonathan said with a look of disgust and helplessness.

"I think they're very cute. Evelyn objected, and with a happy smile on her face, she gently scratched her camel's head a few times.

"Jonathan, you hate them so much, but you have to put up with them. In the desert, the camel is your best friend, don't offend them, beware of its revenge. Li Wei looked at Jonathan and said jokingly.

With the sound of camel bells, the wind and sand of the desert and the gradually darkening sky, the temperature gradually decreased, and the group hurriedly put on thick clothes and continued on their way.

Since their camel saddle is relatively stable, allowing people to sit and sleep lightly with their eyes closed without falling off, the four take turns resting on the camel's back. O'Connor was by Evelyn's side to prevent her from oversleeping before one accidentally fell off.

"It's ...... them again," O'Connor whispered.

"There?" asked Levy, knowing who O'Connor was talking about, the descendants of the Pharaoh's guards.

"There. On a cliff on the left hand side of O'Connor's eyes, a row of horses could be faintly seen.

The sky gradually turned dark red, which also meant that the next morning was approaching, and Li Wei and his party met the American treasure hunting group. However, the difference is that Li Wei and the others all ride camels, while the American treasure hunt group rides horses or camels, and the funniest thing is that Dr. Chamberlain rides a tame donkey.

"What are we waiting for?" Jonathan asked in a low voice to O'Connor. The two men followed O'Connor and Benny in the direction of turning and dismounting, but in front of them was an endless desert.

"We are waiting for the door of magic to open...... "Leeway and O'Connor agreed.
