Chapter 2154: A New Discovery
The center of the basement has been cleared out of the space for everyone to flex, and six armed security guards with loaded guns stand in the doorway and hallway, on high alert.
Everything is ready to go.
Ye Tian looked at the granite floors on the ground again, then pointed to the floor and said:
"Guys, use the drill to break the filler in the gap between these floors, and then take it out, and then let's find a way to pry up these floors and see what secrets are hidden underneath."
"Okay, Steven, we'll take care of that."
Several company employees responded in unison, and everyone was excited and eager to try.
Immediately afterwards, Ye Tian took a few steps back, and the two company employees picked up the hand-held drilling rig and started to work separately.
In the next moment, a shrill noise rang out from this basement, resounding throughout the basement, and in the blink of an eye, it was above the ground.
The scene that happened in the basement naturally couldn't hide from the Germans who were staring at the surveillance footage, and caused a commotion on the ground.
"Steven, they must have found something in that basement, otherwise they wouldn't have made such a big move, could it be that the Knights Templar treasure is really buried in the Templar Palace?"
"I don't know what secrets, treasures, or other things are hidden in that basement, but I have to admit that Steven's guys are very sharp-eyed, powerful, and lucky.
God knows how many people have come to the Temple Palace to explore the treasure, and the treasure hunters who have searched that basement are countless, and no one has found anything, but the secret hidden by Steven has been discovered."
In the midst of the discussion, everyone on the ground stared at Ye Tian's every move, staring at the basement where noise was constantly coming out, and everyone's eyes were extremely hot and full of anticipation.
In the blink of an eye, the filling in the gaps between the granite floors was shattered, and the screeching of the hand-held rig stopped.
Immediately afterward, several company employees cleared out the broken gap filling and swept it aside.
"Steven, judging from the depth of the gaps, these granite floors are very thick, they must be very heavy, at least hundreds of kilograms, do you want to bring in a simple crane and assemble them to lift these granite floors?"
A company employee measured the depth of the gap, and then explained the situation to Ye Tian.
Ye Tian stepped forward and looked at it twice, then shook his head with a smile and said:
"I don't need to use a crane to come in for the time being, I'll try it with a crowbar to see if I can pry up these granite floors, if I can't pry it up, it's not too late to come in with a simple crane."
As he spoke, Ye Tian reached out and took two crowbars more than one meter long from the toolkit next to him, and handed one of them to a company employee next to him, asking that guy to assist him.
Next, he looked at a few more granite floors, then inserted a crowbar into the gap between two of them, and was ready to go.
"Derek, when I pry up the granite floor on the right side, you immediately stick the crowbar in your hand under the floor and hold the floor, and the rest of us step back a bit, just in case"
"Okay, Steven"
Derek nodded in response, and quickly made his way to the table.
As for the Bishop of Kent and David, they all took a few steps back in the direction of the door, craned their necks and looked at this side.
Seeing that everyone was ready, Ye Tian then used both hands to grasp the end of the crowbar inserted into the gap in the floor, and then slowly exerted his strength and began to pry the heavy granite floor.
In the blink of an eye, this granite floor, which was about one meter long, about fifty centimeters wide, and forty centimeters thick, was slowly pried up by Ye Tian.
As this granite floor is pried out of the ground, its huge volume is also revealed.
"Hissββ!"
There was a gasping sound at the scene, and everyone was stunned by the huge volume of this granite floor and Ye Tian's terrifying power, and they were dumbfounded.
Ye Tian was still exerting his strength, and this granite floor was also pried higher and higher.
In the blink of an eye, the mud-stained bottom of this granite floor appeared, and the gap between it and the other granite floor next to it became larger and larger.
Luckily, there were no unusual noises coming from under the granite floor, and there should be no traps.
At the moment when the bottom of this granite floor was exposed to the ground, Ye Tian's voice also came out.
"Now, Derek, stick the crowbar in your hand under the floor"
"Okay, Steven, look at me"
Derek answered, and immediately thrust the crowbar in his hand under the floor, holding the unusually heavy granite floor steadily.
After making sure that there was no problem, Ye Tian let go of the crowbar in his hand and began to observe the granite floor and see if there would be any abnormalities.
It's business as usual, there's no movement under this granite floor.
After a pause, Ye Tian started again, preparing to turn over this granite floor directly to see what secrets were hidden underneath.
This time he no longer uses a crowbar, but with his own hands.
Under the horrified gaze of the Bishop of Kent, Ye Tian easily lifted this heavy and abnormal granite floor, and then flipped it aside.
"Bang ββ!"
There was a loud bang in the basement, and the ground seemed to tremble.
This was not the end, Ye Tian then lifted all the adjacent granite floors to make enough space to work.
With his movements, a large pit about two meters long, about one meter and a half wide, and forty or fifty centimeters deep suddenly appeared in the center of this basement.
After lifting these granite floors, Ye Tian stood on the edge of this large pit made by his own hands, observing the situation at the bottom of the pit.
Seeing that there was no danger, Bishop Kent and David, who had retreated before, came over one after another and looked at the big pit together.
Standing still at the edge of the pit, the Bishop of Kent immediately said with emotion:
"Steven, your guy's power is terrifying, it's entirely fair to say that you guy's modern-day version of Hercules, Hercules!"
Hearing this, a smile suddenly appeared on the corner of Ye Tian's mouth.
In order not to scare you guys, the buddy has been keeping it, and he hasn't shown his full strength, if you know the limit of your buddy's strength, it is estimated that your eyes will be shocked!
Standing on the edge of the pit and watching for a while, Ye Tian suddenly jumped into the pit, squatted down and began to check the situation at the bottom of the pit, and grabbed a handful of sand and gently crushed it with his hands.
The Bishop of Kent, who stood at the edge of the pit, all looked at him, waiting for the result.
In just a moment, Ye Tian stood up again, threw away the sand in his hand, and pretended to be excited:
"The previous guess was correct, this place was tampered with, not only did the granite floor above it be fried, but the ground beneath the floor was also turned over, to be precise, it was backfilled.
The humidity and density of the bottom of this pit are different from the ground beneath the next few granite floors, and from these aspects, someone turned it over decades ago.
If the expectation is good, we can find out if we continue to dig down the bottom of this pit, but it is difficult to say what this discovery is, maybe it is a surprise, or it may be an empty joy."
Before the words fell, a cheer rang out at the scene.
"Great! Our hard work has not been in vain, I hope this is a huge surprise"
"Wow, maybe it's another great treasure, like the ones we found in Paris and London."
The cheering guys were all employees of the Brave Explorer Company, the Bishop of Kent and another senior Vatican priest, but a look of disappointment flashed across their faces.
"This place was tampered with decades ago, it seems that it should not be a Templar treasure, I wonder what secrets are hidden deep underground?"
Ye Tian turned his head to look at the muttering Bishop of Kent, and then issued an order.
"Guys, don't be careful, let's start digging and see what we can find, hopefully a surprising discovery"
After finishing speaking, Ye Tian walked out of the big pit and stood on the edge of the pit with David.
"Okay, Steven"
Derek and the others answered in unison, then walked over to the kit next to him, and took out two folding sapper shovels from the kit.
Immediately afterward, Derek and another company employee jumped to the bottom of the pit, waved their arms and began digging.
