He will eat you!

And what are you?

We haven't seen each other for years.

You're still the same. Haven't changed at all.

You know me?

I'd recognize you even if you'd turned to ashes.

Who on earth are you?

It's not important who i am.

The point is that i know who you are.

It doesn't matter. Who cares who you are?

Just give the map back to me and I'll leave you

alone.

You really want the map?

OK.

But you have to smash this blade first.

Easy.

Ciaofei.

What are you doing here? Get out!

Oh, i see.

No wonder you stayed away for so long.

You've got a beautiful girl with you.

I bet you on this.

If you win, you'll have the map back.

If i win, i want her.

OK, deal!

Hey, how can you bet on me?

Go!

Give me the map and I'll spare your life.

Dao-dao.

Brother Ciaofei.

Dao-dao, go back.

Brother Ciaofei, these are the biscuits i baked for

you.

When you finish them, you must come back.

Well, I'll think about it.

OK, see you.

You have to keep your word when you finish the

biscuits.

You didn't keep your word.

You said you'd be back soon.

Why didn't you return?

Well, here i am, right?

What is the use of coming back now?

Why has everything changed? The Legion is

supposed to

protect the desert but now they've become a

mob

Even you've changed as well.

Yes, i have. So what?

What happened to you? Can't even make a living

out there?

That's why you came back, right?

You've not seen each other for so long.

Why do you keep fighting all the time?

He didn't keep his word.

He ate the biscuits i made for him,

but he broke his promise.

I really hate men who don't keep their promises.

Well, he's always like that.

He vanished into thin air ten years ago.

When he returned, he acted as if nothing had

happened.

It's all his fault that everything has gone wrong in

the desert.

It was all because he lost the fight and left for

good.

Everything we had has been ruined.

Since you were not here,

why do you ask what happened in the desert?

Since you left, what was the point of coming

back?

Hey, so you left us for the desert ten years ago?

So the legend of the 'Eagle of the Desert' is true?

Stop talking about the bloody Eagle of the Desert.

I don't want to talk about it.

If you're the Eagle of the Desert,

to be honest, that's so different from my

imagination.

Stop pestering, or I'll go after the map on my own.

You don't have to Little Feather has already

given it back to me.

Really? That doesn't sound likely

Why not? Could it be fake?

Look! Look at all the stuff!

Mister.

Yes, here i am.

Is our stuff ready?

I got your order ready long ago.

Pay for it.

How much?

$5,000.00

$5,000! Does it make you fight better? Or is it an

aphrodisiac?

You don't need an aphrodisiac in the desert, do

you?

Pay for it if you want to stay alive.

I will do, but can't it be cheaper?

It isn't shark fin, floe gras, swallow's nest or

sashimi, right?

This is extortion!

Would you like some quality ham?

No? It's OK! Why did he freak out like that?

He comes out in a rash when he sees meat.

What?

When are we leaving?

When we finish eating. What's the hurry?

Eat! You never know when the next meal will be.

Mm... tasty!

Don't fall in love with me!

Attention! Free maps of the lost city!

Free? Really?

Really! Really!

Really! The map is genuine! It is!

What happened?

Brother Ciaofei, I'm here to bid you farewell.

It's vintage wine. Drink a toast to your success.

Why the hell did you do that?

Not enough trouble in the desert for you?

Everyone has the right to pursue his dreams.

Don't forget it was you who told me that!

Look at those who hang around in the

'Traveller's Village'.

Each of them dreams of making a big fortune.

But without the map, they could never make it.

Forget about it!

Isn't it a good thing that i gave them hope?

Good.

I believe you'll be the first one to find the city.

You've failed once.

You won't keep falling for the rest of your life,

right?

Let's go.

I wish you great success!

Why did she do that?

She's no longer the person i knew.

Master Hua, we'll make a big fortune!

Master Hua, Master Hua!

Look! Look at this.

Master Hua, look at this.

The map of the lost city. Isn't it incredible?

It's fake.

No way! Fake?

Doesn't matter.

I've never had such a great opportunity in my

whole life.

I'll give it a try even though it's fake.

Let's go, Master Hua!

They've all already left.

I don't want to lag behind them. Hurry up!

Chief! Chief...

Silly you.

I knew you wouldn't leave us behind.

Will we find him this time?

The only person who could find him in the desert

is Qiaofei.

Master, are we ready to go?

No hurry. We'll wait until they've all left.

Then we'll go in the opposite direction.

The opposite direction? Are you drunk?

Why don't you go with them?

You really want to know why?

Of course!

Turn yourself upside down and I'll tell you.

What the hell?

Yes or no?

Come on.

Hold his legs.

Unbelievable, you can only see it upside-down

Come, hold them tighter.

Look carefully. Do you get it?

No, i don't.

Hey! Yes, i got it! I saw it!

There is a face! Really! A face in the map!

What the hell!

Master Hua, i saw it! There really is a face!

But what is this face?

You won't get into the city if you can't see the

face.

Other people are wasting their time.

Wow! You're so cool!

No...

Fool, you see the face when you turn it over. Get

it?

It becomes so clear when you turn it over.

Hey, really! Here it is!

Hey, why did you ask me to get upside down if

we can turn the map over?

Well, because idiots all look at the map upside

down.

Bastard! You no good! You no good!

Don't you dare try it again!

What's funny? Stand upright!

Why are you laughing? You've lost all your teeth!

I warn you, never fall in love with me!

What do you think?

I don't know.

You don't? Then how would i know?

Idiot!

Tell me when you figure out why i fell for you.

They put poison in the city as defense.

The poisonous air rises to the sky. It kills all the

birds.

Look, only those blood-sucking bats are immune

to it.

It's because they live on the blood of dead bodies.

Are you saying that the city is right over there?

Do you think that cloud looks like a face?

I think the city lies just underneath it.

How did you know that song?

Your dad taught me.

He often played it at night.

I want to hear it again.

It was the song

my dad wrote for me when i was born.

I thought he had long forgotten it.

No, he hadn't.

He was going to quit after he found the pearl.

So he could spend more time with you.

He said he'd spent too much time retrieving stuff

for other people.

But he lost what was most precious. His family.

Cry, cry it out. You'll feel better.

Pair of twos, pair of fives, pair of sixes.

Take it easy!

We're getting ready to leave. Quick.

Everything packed up?

Master Hua, when we return from the lost city, I'II

teach you golf.

I won't be able to play it.

Hey, brothers, the city is just over there!
