Chapter 1192: The Treasure of the Blood Knife
After thinking for a long time, Flores gritted his back molars and said with difficulty:
"We're not going to work with you anymore, Steven, you're too destructive, and this joint exploration operation alone has ravaged Cocos Island enough.
If I cooperate with you again, I am afraid that you will completely destroy Cocos Island and turn that national park into an island of hell, which Costa Rica simply cannot afford!
From now on, we won't allow you to go back to Cocos Island as a professional treasure hunter and hunt for treasure on the island, and if you come to Cocos Island, then we welcome you with both hands!
Even if the pirate treasure you are talking about is real, let that pirate treasure remain buried on the island, and one day they will be discovered, and it will still belong to Costa Rica!"
"In that case, it's a shame that this pirate treasure map is of little use! God knows when that famous pirate treasure will appear, and maybe never!
For the sake of our previous collaboration, I will not leak or transfer this pirate treasure map, I will always keep it, if you change your mind that day, feel free to contact me!"
Ye Tian said with a chuckle, not taking Flores's refusal to heart at all.
"What do you do with the pirate treasure map in your hand, it's your own business, we have no right to interfere, it doesn't matter if you leak it intentionally or unintentionally, or transfer it at a high price!
Whoever gets that treasure map, without the permission of the Costa Rican government, doesn't want to go on Cocos Island to hunt for treasure unless he wants to get a taste of prison!"
Flores said stiffly, it didn't sound so confident, it seemed a little lacking!
It's no wonder that Cocos Island is isolated from the sea, five or six hundred kilometers from Costa Rica, and there are not many forest rangers on the island, and the terrain is full of tropical rainforests and complex terrain.
If someone secretly goes to the island to hunt for treasure, those rangers on the island may not be able to find out, and even if they do, whether they have the ability to stop the other party's treasure hunt is a matter of two words!
As soon as Flores's words fell, Professor Delgado couldn't wait to say:
"Steven, you guy is indeed too dangerous, too crazy, extremely greedy, and has an amazing appetite! How dare we cooperate with you again, isn't that a knife to be slaughtered by you!
Since there is no hope of cooperation, can you reveal a little information, which famous pirate treasure does this treasure map in your hand point to, and which famous pirate originally belonged to?"
"That's all that I said, I don't reveal any information, it seems a little too much, well, I'll tell you a little bit about this pirate treasure map!
The Pirate Treasure Treasure Map I am talking about appeared at the same time as the Lima Treasure Treasure Map, and both treasure maps fell into my hands, and the result was the same, I burned them!
But don't worry, before burning this treasure map, I have identified its authenticity, the age it came from, and the treasure it points to, and I have the route firmly in my mind!
Like the famous Lima Treasure, I am the only one in the world who knows where this pirate treasure is buried, and no one else wants to find this pirate treasure!"
Ye Tian said nonsense, this is an excuse he had already made up! It was said very smoothly, and he didn't hit a single stumble!
What does it matter if others believe it or not?
"What a bastard you are, Steven, a tyrannical thing! It's a pirate treasure map that has been around for centuries, a veritable antique work of art, how can you bear to burn it?"
Professor Delgado cursed angrily, gritting his teeth in hatred.
"Hahaha, Professor Delgado, don't be too angry, of course I know that the pirate treasure map is an antique work of art that has a certain collection and research value!
But for the sake of safety, I had to burn it to the ground, lest the news of my possession of this treasure map get out and be remembered by some scheming fellows!"
Ye Tian said with a laugh, there was no sense of guilt in his words.
It's not that he doesn't know how to cherish antique artworks, but because this pirate treasure map doesn't exist at all, it's just his excuse!
Without waiting for the two Costa Ricans to respond, Ye Tian continued:
"Not only did this treasure map appear at the same time as the treasure map of Lima, but they also had a certain connection, and the famous pirate who buried this gold and silver treasure was the Portuguese pirate captain Benito Bonito!
I don't need to explain who Benito Bonito was, right? According to reliable legend, he was one of the pirates with the most buried treasures on Cocos Island, with a total of seven or eight tons of gold and silver treasures!
What's more, Captain Benito Bonito, known as the 'Blood Knife', was once the boss of Captain Thompson, so it's no surprise that these two pirate treasure maps appear at the same time!
Led by Benito Bonito 'the Bloody Knife', their pirates have sacked countless Spanish treasure ships and temples of the Indians, and the wealth in their hands can be imagined, and it must be very amazing!"
Before the words could be finished, Professor Delgado and Flores had already exclaimed.
"How is it possible that Benito Bonito's pirate treasure buried on Cocos Island?
"Of course, buried in the 'Blood Knife' Benito Bonito's favorite Cape Esperanza, where there is a waterfall that falls from the sky, and the view is spectacular!
He had hidden the seven or eight tons of gold and silver treasure between a ravine and two waterfalls that fell from the sky, and there was a cave where the treasure could be hidden.
The cave was very close to a palm tree, and there was a pagoda-like rock sticking out of the cave, and you could see the entrance to the cave from the rock......"
Ye Tian said jokingly, the content is all from legends, and all professional treasure hunters know that it has no actual value!
Listening to Ye Tian's words, Flores and Professor Delgado rolled their eyes in anger!
Before Ye Tian finished speaking, Professor Delgado interrupted him angrily.
"Don't talk nonsense, Steven, this treasure legend is well known, and if the gold and silver treasures buried by Bonito can be found on the basis of this legend, what hell would he do!
Shortly after Benito Bonito 'the Blood Knife' buried the pirate treasures, the volcano near Cape Esperanza erupted several times in quick succession, changing the terrain dramatically.
More than 20 years later, Bonito's mistress, Mary, returned to Cocos Island with her husband, John Welch, to try to find the great treasure, but not a single hair could be found!
It is said that the reason for their failure was the long turned upside down of Punta Esperanza, where everything had changed and they could not find the treasure according to the terrain at all.
Now you're saying that the pirate treasure is buried in Cape Esperanza, and it's in its original location, isn't that bullshit, you bastard is obviously making fun of us!"
"Hahaha, I'm very sorry, gentlemen, but I forgot that the terrain of Cape Esperanza has long since changed, and I was negligent, and I didn't make fun of you!
In this way, this pirate treasure map in my hand is really useless, what a huge fortune! What a pity to be buried in the depths of Cocos Island!
All right, gentlemen, without further ado, I'm going to hang up and get ready for my half of the Lima treasure, and there's still a lot of work to be done!
Again, it is a great honor to cooperate with you, and I hope that we will have such opportunities in the future, and I hope you have a wonderful day, goodbye!
Ye Tian said with a laugh, his tone was very relaxed, and it was still a joke.
"Goodbye, Steven, you crazy guy, it's going to be a wonderful day for you!"
"See you in New York, Steven"
Flores and Professor Delgado said goodbye one after another, and then ended the call!
The two of them then turned and walked towards the convoy parked not far away, preparing to leave the airport.
As he went, Flores gritted his teeth and whispered:
"I'm sure that the treasure map in Steven's hand points to the place where the Bonito treasure is buried is definitely not Cape Esperanza, it must be another place on Cocos Island!"
"That's right, the last few words of Steven's bastard speak for themselves, that pirate treasure map pointing to Bonito's treasure is absolutely real!
He has a treasure map in his hand, so he doesn't need to be in a hurry, just wait for us to call him and ask for cooperation again, it's so cunning and greedy!"
Professor Delgado replied in a low voice, equally hating the root of his teeth, but his face was full of helplessness!
