The Treasure Hunter

In this vast desert,

many dynasties were established

Leaving behind countless legends.

Over thousands of years,

these dynasties rose and fell.

All that remains is this desert.

Beneath it lies a vast treasure

hidden deep below the burning sand.

No one can open the door to the treasure:

It is protected by a group of secret guards.

They have guarded this desert for generations.

The legend says only the leader of the guards

can be called the 'Eagle of the Desert'.

Every one of the guards

is master of an oriental martial art.

Every two decades, a new leader is selected.

A new 'Eagle of the Desert'.

When a new leader is chosen,

his opponent will be cast out.

In the desert, power is everything.

Only the victor survives.

No one remembers the loser.

Countless explorers have come to this desert,

hoping to find its great treasure.

Few of them returned alive.

What keeps the legend going

is the 'Eagle of the Desert'

Hello?

Miss Lan, you know the deadline has long

passed?

I don't care what happened to you.

This is an ultimatum.

Chief editor, can i change the topic?

I'm so fed up with these explorations and tomb

raiders.

Tell you what? I've a great idea for a romance...

Who wants to read a romance?

The readers of Qidian Chinese Literature Online

are all waiting for the sequel to Ghost Town.

Send me the draft in 3 days.

Otherwise you'll be fired!

Fired? He's threatening me?

Give me some more time, please. I've been

writing...

What happened? Being chased by the editor?

Dad.

Hey, you haven't come home for ages.

Come have dinner with me tomorrow night.

But i...

So that's it. I'll wait for you.

Excuse me, please write, 'To Pork Rib'.

P-O-R-K R-I-B. I was born in the year of pig.

Thank you so much!

Sir, what would you like to drink?

We came here for business, not drinking.

We heard that they never question the

provenance of the goods.

Therefore our master

decided to send us here with these antiques.

We've travelled across all of Siberia.

We hope you can offer us a good price.

As long as they're genuine, i promise it'll be

worth your while.

Are you implying they're fakes?

We'll see whether they're genuine or not

when they're examined by our expert.

Just wait here.

He'll be here in a minute.

So you're the expert?

A Macedonian bronze... US $500,000.

A mediaeval gold scripture! Cool!

A Chinese bronze bell? Let me try.

This is not for you.

This is our master's alarm clock.

It's only peaceful because he's asleep.

If you strike the bell and wake him up,

we'll be in trouble.

I see.

You stole it, right

No, my mom gave it to me.

'My mom gave it to me'? No matter, I'll confiscate

it.

What? Confiscate it?

Yes.

Mind you, I'm not stealing them from you.

I simply return them to where they belong.

Understand?

Don't strike it!

No...

Don't strike it!

Don't! Please don't.

Don't!

Run!

Crazy people!

Come on!

I never get scared. I'll just kick your ass.

Tell me if it hurts, OK?

It must be quite valuable.

Let me see... what we find today is...

People later discovered that in many ancient

tombs

there was nothing but a skeleton.

Not a single tomb art craft.

Let me tell you, this is called a 'pauper's burial'.

Master Hua, i heard a batch of antiques just

arrived.

Well... most of them are fake.

According to historians,

The most daring tomb raider in history...

Wow! You bought a lot!

Come on, he's giving things away again.

Master Hua, have you made up your mind?

Made up my mind? About what?

The Lost City!

I've found out who has the map.

Our dream is coming true!

Pork Rib, how many times have i told you?

The chance of coming out alive from that place is

very slim!

Besides, i don't believe there is a genuine map.

Yes, there is. This one is genuine!

Master Hua, you don't want to waste your life

away like this, right?

If we can find that map, everything will be settled!

Do you remember last time? Lf...

You're helping yourself not me!

Pork Rib, are you afraid of dying?

No, I'm not.

Let me make it clear to you.

You're not afraid of dying, but that doesn't mean

you won't die.

Master Hua, you've finally agreed!

Just hang in there a little longer. We're nearly

there.

This bag... take it.

Everything you retrieved

has been returned to its country of origin.

Here is a new case

Qiaofei, look at this.

An ancient city lost in the 11th century.

Once upon a time, there was a king.

He had the largest glowing pearl in the world.

The pearl was in the city.

When Genghis Khan was fighting towards the

East,

One hundred years later, an old warrior came out

of the city.

He told someone this secret before he died.

The person was called the 'Eagle of the Desert'.

He led a few hundred ancient warriors

to guard the city.

I saw them protect the city with my own eyes.

It was at that moment that i decided to go down

this path.

To return these treasures to where they came

from.

It's Lan Ting's birthday tomorrow.

I've asked her to come over. Come join us.

Are you sure? She won't be happy to see me, will

she?

You're the one who won' t be happy, aren't you

it looks like I'm not the only one who needs to

patch things up with her.

Master Tu, please don't drag me into your family

business.

Hello.

Hey, can't you concentrate on the book?

How can i? It's such trash!

Then why are you reading it?

Well... i treat it as a joke.

Wait, it's not that bad, is it?

It's not just bad but really bad.

This book is full of crap!

Full of prejudice against archaeology and

exploration.

Everyone is described as a greedy opportunist.

This book of yours... i bet it won't sell.

You're still a nuisance.

You're always big-headed and you never respect

other people

Hey! Your dad wants you to go home for dinner.

You abandoned Mom and i

for archaeology.

Why did you come back?

Why should i go back just because you ask me

to?

Please follow the suggested route.

Sit down.

Keep to the left and then turn right.

Chief, let's drink a toast to you!

Chief, come on, another one.

I don't know what's wrong with him.

He couldn't live without meat before.

But now, meat scares the sh*t out of him.

Master Hua, come eat something. You can't live

on biscuits.

Pork Rib,

isn't it a bit too dangerous

to abduct this girl?

Well... you don't understand...

Master Tu is really difficult.

It took me so long

to find his weakness.

It was his precious daughter!

So, what are you going to do with her?

No way! Are you falling for her?

Well... I've got an idea.

Anyway, when i get the map,

I'll leave her to you. Am i being fair enough?

Hello?

You thought i was joking? I said 3 more days!

I checked my email hundreds of times

and not a single word there!

I warn you, don't ever try to test my limits.

Are you listening to me?

Can't you make up something new?

Miss Lan, i have a boss to report to...

Anyone there?

Let me ask you nicely, OK?

I don't know where i am.

You've lost your memory?

Call yourself a writer? What lame excuse is this?
