With the passage of time, most of the area of this Gothic castle has been carefully searched by Ye Tian and them, and nothing has been found.

The basements engraved with mysterious symbols that Jason mentioned also found nothing, and those mysterious symbols unique to the Knights Templar were still undecipherable.

A few hours passed, and nothing was found, not to mention the Knights Templar treasure, not even a rusty medieval weapon.

Faced with this situation, almost everyone in the joint exploration team felt a little disappointed and frustrated, thinking that this trip to Cyprus was a waste of money and time!

Representatives of the Cypriot government and the Greek Orthodox Church, who were accompanying the joint expedition and purportedly overseeing the expedition, were similarly disappointed.

Although they were disappointed, Ye Tian and they didn't give up, before the last moment, who knows what the result will be, maybe there will be a surprising miracle!

As they spoke, they had entered a nondescript two-story building on the edge of the castle and reached the entrance to the basement on the first floor of the building, ready to enter and explore.

This is the last basement in the castle, and if you don't find it, you can basically leave, end this trip to Cyprus, move on to the next country, and go to the next target to explore the treasure.

As soon as they arrived at the entrance of this basement, everyone smelled a foul smell, and rushed up from the basement below, almost smoking everyone.

"I'll go! What does this smell like? It's too smelly, too disgusting!"

David covered his nose and exclaimed, looking like he was about to vomit.

Several others covered their mouths and noses and took a few steps back, each choking on disgust.

And the guy Jason laughed out loud, and joked mischievously:

"Hahaha, let's also enjoy this ecstatic and unforgettable taste, isn't it fair, when we cleaned up this place before, several of us were almost fainted!"

"Jason, you kid is so disgusting, this kind of thing has to be shared with everyone!"

Ye Tian scolded angrily, and David and the others also began to denounce Jason.

After a few jokes, Jason began to explain the situation.

"This should be the smell of some kind of animal feces, but the specific kind of animal, for the time being, can only be known when you enter this basement, so everyone better wear gas masks and be vigilant in case of accidents!

Going down the stairs, there is a basement with an area of about 20 square meters, which is empty, and this stench comes from another basement deeper, for safety reasons, we did not explore deeply!"

Hearing this, Ye Tian immediately said:

"You're doing the right thing, Jason, judging by the foul smell, there must be a lot of animal manure in the basement deeper down, which naturally produces a lot of methane.

If you venture into that basement, you are likely to be poisoned, but what is even more dangerous is that the lighting fixtures in your hands are likely to detonate a large amount of methane gas that has accumulated, and that is a big problem!

As far as I can tell, the basement further down is likely to be home to a large number of bats, and I've seen caves with large numbers of bats on Cocos Island before, but the smell wasn't so disgusting!

Before entering the basement below, everyone must not only wear a gas mask, but also wear a protective suit, and do not let the bat feces get on your clothes or skin, otherwise you will suffer!

What's more, we have to ventilate these two basements first, and then we will enter the basement when the biogas emissions are almost done, even so, everyone must be extremely cautious and not careless!"

"Understood, Steven"

Everyone responded in unison, and their expressions were much more serious.

Immediately after that, everyone took action, and began to wear gas masks, hats, and protective clothing, and they were fully armed.

What's more, he directly put two sets of protective clothing on his body, wrapping himself like a zongzi, lest bat feces get on him.

It's a scene like that, it's completely crazy and disgusting to death!

After everyone was fully equipped, Ye Tian immediately asked everyone to withdraw from the two-story building for safety.

Immediately afterwards, he took two employees of the company to work together and fixed two high-power ventilation fans at the entrance of the basement with ropes and stones.

Next, the three of them exited the building as well, then turned on the power, activated the two ventilation fans, and began to quickly change the air in the basement.

At the moment when the two ventilation fans were activated, Ye Tian's hearts of each of them rose to their throats, lest they accidentally detonate the methane gas and blow up the Gothic building completely!

Thankfully, that didn't happen.

As the two high-powered ventilation fans began to work and rotate at high speed, the gas in the basement was quickly pumped out and released to the outside, and fresh air from the outside was continuously injected into the basement.

In the blink of an eye, the stench emitted from the basement filled the entire castle.

Caught off guard, the Bishop of Kent, who was standing a little far away and looking at this side, as well as the representatives of the Cypriot government and the Greek Orthodox Church, were so smoked that they almost fainted on the spot, and they wanted to vomit in nausea.

Even the numerous security guards and members of the Swiss Guards, who were scattered in and around the castle, as well as the soldiers of the United Nations peacekeeping force and the Cypriot police further afield, smelled the stench.

Without exception, each of them was choked with disgust!

"Steven, what the hell did you dig up? It smells so bad it's crazy!"

Bishop Kent's voice came over the intercom, and it sounded like it was about to collapse.

"I forgot to warn you, Bishop of Kent, put on your gas mask, and better go a little further back, we have found a basement with a large number of bats.

That basement has been a bat nest for I don't know how many years, maybe decades, maybe hundreds of years, and a lot of feces and biogas have accumulated, that's why it stinks!"

Ye Tian picked up the walkie-talkie and said, with a gloating expression.

When the words fell, the Bishop of Kent immediately said angrily:

"You guys did it on purpose, and we almost fainted, and since that basement is a bat's nest, why do you want to open it?

"Since we have come to Cyprus to explore the treasure, we can't give up lightly until the last moment, in that bat lair, there may be a big secret hidden, which is also possible!"

Ye Tian said with a smile and explained a few words.

The reason why he said this, and why he endured his nausea to explore the last basement, of course, had his reasons, and he didn't want him to be so high-sounding!

If there was nothing in that basement but a lot of bat droppings, how could he insist on exploring that basement, unless he was sick in the head!

He knew better than anyone what was hidden in that basement, and there was more than just a lot of bats and stinking bat droppings!

"You're right, Steven, you really can't give up easily, sometimes surprises always come at the end, and I hope it's the same this time, but I'd better stay away so as not to faint!"

The Bishop of Kent responded, and quickly stepped back, trying to get away from the suffocating stench as quickly as possible.

In the blink of an eye, more than ten minutes have passed.

Ye Tian raised his hand to look at the time, and then said to Jason:

"The air in that basement should be almost changed, Jason, you put an air detector in it, check the air condition, especially pay attention to the content of biogas, don't stop the two fans, continue to change the air!"

"Okay, Steven, I'll take care of that!"

Jason answered, and immediately went into action.
