Coupled with the fact that the men here couldn't be sold at a high price, the desert robbers ignored Jack's body intentionally or unintentionally, and a group of people disappeared like a gust of wind, roaring with their trophies.

"How are you? Aren't you hurt?"

A woman who had wrapped herself tightly and still had some sand on her body ran over in small steps, knelt down and tried to help Jack up.

"I'm fine! It's just that all our stuff was taken!"

Jack waved his hand and rolled over to sit up.

"Who are these people?"

"It's sand robbers!" The woman carefully picked up a trampled scorpion from the ground, and said, "This is a small group of about three to four hundred people. tourists."

Jack was a little strange: "How do you know so clearly?"

The woman said: "I come here once a year, and I can hear their legends every time, and I have seen them looting with my own eyes a few times, but it is the first time that they rob passengers and convoys halfway and attack the campsite like this. once."

Jack looked dignified, he pondered for a moment, and when he was about to speak, the deep satellite phone rang suddenly.

He was slightly taken aback, and glanced at the pitch-black sky, the moon was already in the west, who would call at this time?

"Hey?"

"Mr. Chen! I don't know how far I have entrusted you?"

The voice from the other side of the phone made Jack narrow his eyes slightly.

"I'm still looking, Mr. Lu! You gave me too little information, and Europe is too big. It's too difficult to just rely on a sketch! I hope you can give me more time!"

"That's it!"

On a low mountain 500 meters away, Huang Xing looked at the campground in the distance with a telescope, and said flatly: "In this case, don't make things difficult for Mr. Chen, let's stop our cooperation here, the 20 prepaid in advance The deposit is your hard-earned money!"

Jack's heart skipped a beat: "So suddenly? Mr. Lu, why don't you give me a little more time, I've already found some clues!"

"Oh? Let's hear it?"

"This..." Jack pondered for a moment, and when he saw the woman standing next to him, he suddenly had an idea: "I received news that this key was bought by a Japanese woman two months ago. Take a trip to Tokyo, find some familiar friends to inquire, and see if you can gain something?"

"Japanese woman? But I received news that she appeared in the desert yesterday, and there was a gun battle surrounding this key!"

The corners of Huang Xing's mouth turned up slightly, unhurriedly exerting psychological pressure on Jack.

Jack's eyes widened.

He yelled obediently in his heart, but he didn't show surprise on his mouth: "What? Appeared in the desert? Okay, I'll go to the desert now..."

"No, I will send someone to deal with it. Our cooperation ends here. If there is another opportunity to cooperate, don't let me down again!"

After Huang Xing finished speaking, he hung up the phone without giving Jack a chance to speak.

Zhang Xiaoling watched Huang Xing put the satellite phone back into his bag, and said a little strangely: "This is the treasure hunting expert you were looking for?"

"That's right!" Huang Xing smiled.

Zhang Xiaoling said: "Didn't you say before that we have been going along his route? Why do you want to terminate the cooperation again?"

"This kid has selfish intentions!" Huang Xing said flatly: "He has clearly entered the desert, got the key and map in his hand, but didn't give me any news!

When I found him before, he showed great sincerity and even promised a reward of 200 million US dollars, which is almost two and a half tons in gold.

But even so, he still concealed the news from me, so you can't blame me for using other means? "

Zhang Xiaoling mourned for Jack in silence for a few seconds, and said, "What are you going to do?"

Huang Chen chuckled: "Keep following! His two female companions are being snatched away by Sand Bandits. With his personality, it is impossible for him to let them go. There will definitely be chaos in the Sand Bandits gathering place tomorrow night. Let's Just in time to fish in troubled waters!"

"You haven't given up on your escort plan yet?"

Zhang Xiaoling was a little speechless. When he was in the hotel before, Huang Xing asked the waiter for relevant news more than once, and even tried to hire the waiter to go into the desert with them.

After being rejected, the other party targeted the merchants who leased camels and the traveling merchants of the camel team.

They have their own business, so it is naturally impossible to give up the business and follow the two of them into the desert to find gold.

After successive failures, Zhang Xiaoling thought that Huang Xing had given up on this plan, but he didn't expect to give up.

How could Zhang Xiaoling guess what Huang Xing was thinking.

Huang Xing's seemingly casual inquiries were actually testing Qian Ketong's skills.

This is also due to the amount of bribes that can be revealed after Qian Ketong is upgraded.

The other party's refusal seemed insignificant to Huang Xing, as long as he gave the amount prompted by the system, he would change his mind without any surprise and agreed to his request.

The problem is, it's a bit too much cash to pay.

There will be a chaos at the gathering place tomorrow night, Huang Xing is going to take advantage of this muddy water to try another method to see if he can succeed.

If it doesn't work, it's not too late to spend all the cash on your body in exchange for a few gun-wielding guards in the center.

After all, when they arrived at the base, they would face a group of mercenaries with about 20 people.

Although most of the attention will be attracted by Jack and the three women, with the Water Escape and Fog Concealment technique, all the gold can be recharged without anyone noticing.

But if you can add insurance to safety, why not do it?

In the camp, after Jack hung up the phone, his brows never relaxed.

"What's wrong?" The woman came over and asked with concern.

Jack shook his head without explaining. "You just said that you are familiar with this area, but do you know where the Sand Pirates gather?"

"I know, it's not too close to here. If we have to walk, it may take a day!" The woman nodded.

"Then go too!" Jack looked at the satellite phone in his hand, suppressed the weird feeling in his heart, and put it in his pocket.

He vaguely felt that the sudden phone call from Huang Xing was not simple.

And the energy of the other party was a bit beyond his expectation.

That chaotic farce happened only last night. According to the normal logic of the speed of information transmission in the desert, except for stakeholders, outsiders may not necessarily know what happened two weeks later.

But Huang Chen was far away on Hong Kong Island, but he received the exact information in less than 24 hours. If the other party hadn't planted eyeliners near the desert, he wouldn't believe it if he was killed.

And that's exactly the problem.

If the other party still lacks more than one eyeliner, then he has obviously been exposed.

And after the two parties snatched the keys and the map, the other party probably already knew that the important things and the map were in their hands.

If that's the case, the call will be interesting tonight.

Is the termination of cooperation actually a warning?Or simply dangerous?

The more Jack thought about it, the more confused he became, he simply shook his head, threw out the complicated thoughts in his mind, collected himself, and rearranged the tent.

Tomorrow he was going to rescue people, so he had to recharge his batteries today.

Chapter 146 Sand Pirate II

Before dawn the next day, the two had already set off.

The temperature difference between morning and evening in the desert is huge. In the morning, even wearing clothes feels cold. When the sun rises, the two of them want to peel off their skin.

Fortunately, after entering the desert for a long time, I still have basic common sense. Even if it is hot and smoky, I still wrap myself tightly. The sunscreen that I carry with me is applied layer after layer, and the skin is almost reflective.

The two walked hard in the desert for a whole day, and when the sun was westward, they finally arrived at their destination.

Jack and the two lay on a sand dune far away, carefully watching the town not far away.

"How come there are so many people?"

"Today is the market, and there will be more people in the evening!"

"Ada and the others are here?"

"If there are no accidents, it will be auctioned tonight! We have to find a way to sneak into the venue!"

Jack pondered for a moment, then nodded: "I see, I'll figure it out!"

The woman nodded.

The two of them walked for a whole day, and they were exhausted at this time. Now they finally had time to rest. As soon as they relaxed, they fell asleep unconsciously.

When Jack opened his eyes again, he was again stunned by the lively scene in the small town.

In the open-air square of the town, torches were planted everywhere, and the flames illuminated the surrounding areas bright red.

Around the auction table in the center, a large number of customers gathered. Like the sand robbers guarding the surrounding area, they all wore Arabic-style robes, but the colors were slightly different.

Most of the robes on Sand Pirates are black, and only a few leaders who get mixed up in them are eligible to wear other colors, and even hang ornaments on their chests and heads to distinguish them.

And these chiefs competed for beauty, with robes of various colors on their bodies. Most of them brought their followers to show their nobility by setting off other people.

A large number of camels gathered outside, surrounded by temporary tents, and some strange styles, which can be seen at a glance as privately modified off-road vehicles.

Only limited by the desert environment, all the cars are dirty, from the roof to the wheels, are stained with a layer of sand all the time.

Huang Xing and Zhang Xiaoling also wore Arabian-style robes, rode on camels, and smoothly blended in with the camel team.

The sand robbers guarding the door had no intention of checking at all, and their awareness of vigilance was not high at all.

Obviously, they are used to dominating the area, and they never thought that anyone would dare to jump out and make trouble.

After all, for them, the monthly auction is arguably the most important event.

No matter how big the tribe is, if they feel that this matter is in trouble, they will be severely retaliated by them!

Zhang Xiaoling sat firmly between the humps, covering most of his face, revealing a pair of big eyes, looking around curiously.

"It's really rough here. Why does it feel poorer than the bandits in the movie? Are they really sand bandits?"

"Of course, not only sand robbers, but also sand robbers who have been entrenched here for generations. From the way they auction off their loot to make a profit, we can see that these guys are organized." Huang Xing replied, observing from side to side.

Zhang Xiaoling was noncommittal.

When the camel team passed by the auction platform, the two jumped off one after another, allowing the team to be moved to the "parking place", while the two of them walked together and wandered casually.

The behavior of the people in the desert is very characteristic, maybe because of environmental factors, or because they believe in Allah, in short, even though Huang Xing and the two have tried their best to imitate, they still feel out of place.

Fortunately, the two of them didn't want to blend in.

"What are we doing now?"

"Recruit a few people first!"
