I traverse America, using holy light to quell American terror!
Chapter 391 Hiring Rick, Arriving at the Destination
As Ali screamed in surprise, Jonathan and Evelyn behind Li Yuan also gasped in shock.
Evelyn only knew that Li Yuan was a very famous exorcist.
Unexpectedly, Li Yuan's martial virtue was still so abundant!
Jonathan and Ali, however, had their perceptions completely overturned.
The two of them were thinking the following at that moment:
"Is this guy even human?"
Li Yuan casually scattered the pistol parts in front of Ali.
He asked in a gentle tone:
"Now do you think I could smash your head into a pulp like a watermelon?"
Ali, whose throat was a little dry, subconsciously swallowed.
He looked at Li Yuan and nodded, then replied softly:
"able......"
"Then why don't you hurry up and tell me!"
Li Yuan yelled at Ali.
Seeing that the other party was still hesitant, he then urged loudly:
"Hurry up! My patience is running out!"
Ali was so frightened that he trembled and immediately sat up straight.
Then, he poured out his identity and purpose like beans spilling from a bamboo tube.
Ali's real name was Rick O'Connor, and he was an American mercenary.
Several years ago, Rick owed a large sum of money in gambling debts.
Therefore, he hid in Cairo and lived a life of anonymity.
He occasionally conspired with hotel owners to swindle foreign tourists visiting Cairo for money.
This time, he took Li Yuan and his group to Hamunaptra.
It was just a normal team-leading activity, and there was no intention to harm anyone.
Rick wouldn't have drawn his gun on everyone if Li Yuan hadn't exposed his identity.
Listening to Rick's story, Li Yuan chuckled and teased:
"So it's my fault?"
"No! Mr. Li Yuan, I didn't mean that!"
Rick quickly raised his hand to explain, and then continued:
"I'm telling the truth, and I really do know where Hamnata is."
At this moment, Evelyn spoke up and asked:
"How did you find Hamunaptra? And how are you sure that's the real Hamunaptra?"
Rick took a deep breath and continued explaining:
"A few years ago, I was a mercenary. During a commissioned mission..."
I unexpectedly got separated from a teammate and the main group in the desert.
Then we were attacked by a group of mysterious people.
When we took refuge in a dilapidated group of ancient buildings,
The mysterious group shouted "Hamunata!" and then fled in panic on horseback.
Rick looked up at Evelyn and explained softly:
"When we walked out of the desert, I made a point of memorizing the route we took."
After saying this, Rick looked at Li Yuan with a sincere expression.
He was afraid that Li Yuan would think he was lying.
Li Yuan knew that Rick was mostly telling the truth because he had already remembered who he was.
Rick is the male protagonist in The Mummy.
However, due to the timeline, the way they appeared was slightly different.
However, Li Yuan did not let him off the hook immediately. Instead, he stared into Rick's eyes, intending to scare him.
However, Rick's expression did not change.
Instead, he lay on the ground, completely unconcerned, and said helplessly:
"If you don't believe me, just kill me. I'm telling the truth."
Seeing this, Evelyn anxiously tugged at Li Yuan's arm.
She was afraid that the guide she had finally found would be killed by Li Yuan.
Li Yuan turned to Evelyn and gave her a reassuring look, then asked Rick:
Rick, how much do you owe?
Rick said weakly:
"300 million dollars, that guy is a loan shark, I wonder how much he's made by now."
"Take us to Hamnata, don't try anything funny."
I will pay off your debts for you. As for how much he owes you, that's none of your concern.
Upon hearing Li Yuan's words, Rick jumped up with a "whoosh."
The voice excitedly confirmed with Li Yuan:
"Really? Are you sure?"
"certainly."
Li Yuan nodded with a smile.
Hamnatari is pure gold; a 300 million investment is a sure thing.
Moreover, there are those two legendary scriptures as a safety net.
Thinking of this, Li Yuan added softly:
"However, you have to promise to help us find Hamunaptra."
"No problem! Don't worry!"
Rick stood up straight and swore to the heavens:
"I assure God, I will lead you to Hamunaptra!"
After Li Yuan and Rick made their agreement...
The group got back into the car and resumed their journey to Hamunaptra.
However, just after Li Yuan and his group resumed their journey...
Two SUVs followed closely behind.
The rest of the journey was still extremely tedious and boring.
The surrounding environment was all the same: desert and sand dunes.
In Li Yuan's eyes, all of this was the same and there was no difference.
But in Rick's eyes, each of these things had something unique about them.
Rick can determine his current location based on the position of the sun, the direction of the sand dunes, and the distribution of vegetation.
The car stopped and started frequently along the way.
Finally, just as the sun was about to set, we arrived at a raised sand dune.
Rick parked the car in a sheltered spot from the wind.
He then opened the door and got out of the car, excitedly greeting everyone:
"Get out of the car! We're here! This is Hamunaptrae you've been looking for!"
Everyone got out of the car, completely bewildered, and looked around at the endless desert.
Li Yuan, holding Rick by the scruff of his neck, asked in confusion:
"There's nothing here. You're lying, aren't you?"
Rick shrank back and quickly explained:
"I'm not lying, everyone will have to wait until sunrise tomorrow to see the entrance to Hamunaptra!"
Evelyn chimed in from the side:
"We have to wait until tomorrow morning to take action, no matter what."
I noticed on the map that opening Hamunaptra requires sunlight.
"Alright, we'll figure out a way to get into the underground palace tomorrow morning."
Li Yuan nodded, agreeing to their suggestion, and then addressed the group:
"In that case, let's set up our tents and rest here for now, and then start making dinner."
Upon hearing this, Jonathan returned to the car and unloaded the tent.
He looked at Li Yuan and asked curiously:
"Where are you staying tonight? I noticed you all came empty-handed, without bringing a tent?"
Li Yuan chuckled and said to Jonathan:
"How can you travel to the desert without a tent? I just hid it where you can't see it."
Jonathan, not understanding, nodded subconsciously.
They then went to Evelyn's side, and the two began to set up the tent.
When he looked back at Li Yuan again, he was surprised to find that he had already set up three tents!
Jonathan exclaimed in surprise and asked curiously:
"My God! How did you do that?"
"There's nothing special about it; it's simply a matter of practice makes perfect."
Li Yuan made a joke that Jonathan wouldn't understand, and then said to Grace:
"Let's take advantage of the calm now and prepare dinner. We're having barbecue tonight; I've already taken everything out."
Grace nodded upon hearing this and looked behind Li Yuan.
There were some bread, beef, vegetables, and a charcoal grill on the table.
Li Yuan always prepares the necessary food, water, and even gasoline for each trip.
He didn't want to make things worse because of some oversight.
Malakhan, with Evelyn and the others behind his back, snapped his fingers to light the charcoal.
A moment later, Grace began to grill the meat.
In no time, the enticing aroma of meat wafted on the breeze and reached the nostrils of Rick and his companions.
Rick sniffed the aroma of meat in the air.
He glanced subconsciously at the dry rations in his hand and muttered under his breath:
"How am I supposed to eat this?"
But just then, an unfamiliar voice suddenly came from afar:
"Wow, you're really enjoying yourself, even eating barbecue here!"
