Chapter 393: Solomon's Treasure
Solomon's treasure is an enduring topic of conversation on the sea, attracting groups of adventurers to cross the sea in search of legendary treasures on the islands of the sea.
No one knows whether Solomon's treasure is real or not, but many people know that there are indeed many people who have made a fortune on the sea, so that even the Solomon Islands are closely associated with this treasure.
Some people say that Solomon's treasure is not only the treasure of King Solomon, but a general term, which is a proxy for many adventurers, pirates, etc. to hide treasures together, so even in modern times, there are people who are obsessed with Solomon's treasure, and there is the popular movie, Solomon's treasure.
It's just that for Soth, although he came to hunt for treasure, it was not for Solomon's treasure at all, because the treasure he was looking for was buried by his own hands back then.
Soss, who is in his forties, is a man with a rather legendary story in the mercenary world, he was a soldier when he was young, fought in the Middle East, served as a crew member at sea after retiring from the army, and later became the personal bodyguard of a certain national consortium boss, and became famous.
It's just that few people know that when he was a crew member, he buried a number of treasures with his own hands, which has to start from when he ran the boat.
After the young Soth retired from the army, he quickly ran out of money, and later entered a cruise ship as a security guard under the introduction of a friend, the so-called cruise ship, which was ostensibly a tourist ship, but was actually a gambling ship.
Luxury cruise ships depart from a port in Europe, sail around the world, dock at various ports, and then pick up a group of rich people on board, send a group of downtrodden people off the ship, as long as they reach the high seas, they will organize gambling, this kind of thing was very common in the early years, and even now, this kind of cruise ship is not uncommon, but it is not as crazy as before.
The owners of this kind of cruise ship are generally people with hands and eyes, with strong energy and force, and generally speaking, the safety factor is very high, but if you walk too much at night, you will always encounter ghosts.
More than ten years ago, the cruise ship served by Soth had an accident, first encountered a storm, the cruise ship had to abandon the original route for safety, and then a group of mafia on the cruise ship began to ransack the gambling ship, causing a conflict.
Soth remembered very well what the group of mafia was like, at that time, majestic and high-spirited on the cruise ship, but in less than a week, they lost all their money, they were supposed to disembark at the next port of call of the cruise ship, but they did not expect that because of the storm, the cruise ship deviated from the course, modified the plan, and made their journey home hundreds of kilometers longer.
Originally, this was a trivial matter, but the mafia who lost all the money was unwilling, and took the opportunity to make trouble, inciting a group of gamblers who also lost all their money to kill, trying to recover the lost money.
The consequences of this clash were extremely serious, with extremely heavy casualties among the people on board, tourists, gamblers, service personnel, security personnel, crew members, hundreds of people killed and wounded.
One of the most serious is that more than half of the crew on the cruise ship was killed at that time, resulting in the cruise ship being uncontrolled, and finally hitting the reef, the entire cruise ship will capsize and sink, and the ship's belongings will also enter the sea.
Before the cruise ship was silent, the boss of Soth's company organized their remaining security personnel and asked them to hide a batch of treasures somewhere in order for him to make a comeback in the future, because there was such a big thing on the cruise ship, and he would have huge trouble going back.
This batch of treasures is the size of two large suitcases, all of which are extremely valuable antique jade, gold jewelry, etc., and the cash is almost non-existent, and it was worth more than 10 million euros more than ten years ago.
This treasure was buried by Soth himself on an uninhabited desert island, but contrary to his wishes, his boss was still sued by the families of the dead and injured after returning home, and committed suicide without standing the pressure, and then Sos secretly killed the other three insiders, and Sos decided to swallow the treasure.
Of course, Soth didn't immediately look for this treasure back then, but pretended not to know, but now more than ten years later, Soth has his own business, has his own team, and he feels that he has the ability to swallow this treasure, so he set out to find this treasure that should have belonged to him a long time ago.
It took him months to finally determine the location of the ship's accident and sink, and to find the desert island where the treasure was hidden, all of which made Soth excited.
"Boss, come and see"
Soth went to the island with five henchmen, all but one of them guarded the assault boat on the beach, and all five of them went into the mountains of the island, and it didn't take long for one of his men to discover the anomaly, which was a tree stump.
This stump was obviously cut down by man, and looking at the edge of the knife, it should not be a professional logging tool, because it is very untidy and the knife is very blunt.
"Boss, there are three of these stumps, and the freshest one won't last more than a month"
"Boss, I found a lot of footprints on the island, some of them are fresh and not older than forty-eight hours"
Several henchmen reported that all the evidence proved that the island was inhabited, which made Soth's face gloomy.
"Above the sea, Robinson's story is played out every year, and this is supposed to be a survivor of a shipwreck"
"Boss, or we'll put people..."
A fierce subordinate compared to a neck-cutting action, they all know what the mission is for, this treasure is not visible, although the boss committed suicide before the boss, but his family still has a lot of influence, if this matter spreads, it will bring them a lot of trouble, and even ruin.
"Ignore them first, go find the treasure first"
Soth shook his head, if the survivors on the island wouldn't ruin his plans, he didn't bother to bother, after all, here, sooner or later, he would have to fend for himself.
The group continued to move forward, discovering more and more traces of human life, and finally Soth came to a place with a wide field of vision, and his men released a drone.
Through the drone's scanning, the terrain of the entire island immediately appeared on their computer, and Soth looked at the map, compared it in his mind, and soon found the area where the treasure was hidden.
"Dig"
After arriving there, Sos gave an order, and two of his subordinates took out shovels and began to dig the soil, while the remaining two were on guard around, and Soth, as the boss, naturally didn't have to work.
The four of them divided into two groups and took turns digging the pit, digging for a long afternoon, and finally dug up the treasure, which were two large suitcases, which were wrapped in plastic film at that time, and had not been completely weathered for more than ten years.
Soth was greatly surprised, dragged the suitcase out, and after opening the suitcase, there were one after another well-wrapped things, and he opened one thing casually, revealing the golden light inside, which was a pair of jewelry made of gold, exquisite craftsmanship, and it was produced by a certain master, and the value was extremely high.
"Boss, the box is here"
One of his men pulled out a small sterling silver box from a large suitcase, which had turned black due to oxidation.
Southmo held the box, which had an intricate pattern, like some special symbol, and the whole box was poured in sterling silver, with no openings.
Soth recalled the origin of this box, he clearly remembered that this box was carried by another big man on the cruise ship at that time, it was said that there was a demon imprisoned in it, which needed to be suppressed with a silver box, the value was unimaginable, and it was the ancestral treasure of the big man's family.
The big guy was seriously injured in the incident that year, and before he died, he handed the box to his boss and asked him to help send it back to his family, but his boss was so anxious at the time that he didn't take this matter to heart at all, and threw it to Soth casually, asking him to bury it with these treasures.
After they were rescued in a lifeboat, the big man's family was also the most ruthless one of his former bosses, maybe in order to avenge this and lose their family's precious treasures.
And the reason for coming back to hunt for treasure this time is also because of this box, the big guy's family has been trying to find this box for many years, and even spent a lot of money to form a treasure hunt company, which swings on the sea every year.
Not long ago, the family found a wizard, and the wizard wanted to say that this treasure was about to be born, and it would be a destined person to take the initiative to send it back to the family, so the family released the news, whoever can send this box back will be able to get their friendship and become their most honored guest.
This made Sos extremely excited, Sos has been in the society for so many years, accumulated a little money, has a small team, he doesn't want to work for people anymore, he wants to start his own business and be the boss, but he has no start-up capital and no connections, but this treasure can bring him everything, so he organized this treasure hunt plan.
Send this box back to that family, get their friendship and support, and then sell the rest of the treasures to get the funds, then he will be the boss in the future.
"Wrap up your stuff and we'll leave"
Soth took off his clothes, wrapped the silver box, and asked the rest of the people to wrap up the rest of the treasure and take it with them, as for the survivors on the island, it didn't matter so much.
The four of them moved quickly, quickly took out the bag, put all the movements into the bag, and then went down the mountain to leave, but not far, suddenly one of his men screamed, Soth looked back, and saw that the subordinate had a snake head on his thigh, and the snake's body was cut off by him.
"Hans, how are you?"
"Poisonous, my legs, no more sensations"
"Quick, find serum"
Soth shouted that poisonous snakes are the greatest threat to humans in the tropics, and they brought a lot of poisonous snake serum, and one of his men quickly took out a syringe and plunged it into the leg of the man who had been bitten by the poisonous snake.
