Chapter 1204: Unraveling the mystery of Fandong
Mai Ke believes that if it weren't for the presence of Tan Fengwu's little beauty, these people would have more tricks to scold.
Time is pressing, he can't wait, curious about the baby's curiosity, but a powerful motivator!
He took the lead and walked in as he threw out a handful of air elements inside.
The coffin board's face tightened, and he took a step forward, feeling that there was nothing unusual about the air inside, so he followed.
He has a lot of experience, knowledge and experience, and he knows that such an old cave, if you don't wait a few hours to enter it, it will kill you!
How did he know that once the kind of qi element of Mai Ke is applied, not to mention the air is dirty, it is a vacuum environment, and it can also allow people to breathe smoothly and unimpeded in it.
He now had no choice but to treat the others as real people, and only after seeing that they were safe and sound did he carefully follow, and at the same time, he was careful to keep an eye on the surrounding situation, and if something was wrong, he would run for his life.
With his prudence, it's better not to go in!
But he was just a little carrot head, and when people who were higher than him went in, he could only follow.
Less than a foot inside, the light in the cave was very dim, and I couldn't see the surrounding scene clearly, and I couldn't distinguish the road under my feet.
Mai Ke didn't know how to make it happen, so he let the clouded leopard shine all over his body and get rid of a large flashlight.
Fortunately, the clouded leopard has been tested for a long time, and it is bold and thick-skinned, and it is still walking leisurely in front of everyone's eyes, and it is not affected in the slightest, even if it is shining under the bright light.
Everyone now sees things as if it were daylight, and they can't help but take a closer look at their surroundings.
When I looked at it, I first noticed that there was a huge stone monument in front of me, standing on the road.
There are a few large characters written on it in two scripts.
One is Chinese and the other is still Old Dutch.
Both words mean the same thing, warnings.
Those who come and stop are those who cross this monument. There is no place to die!
Anyone who sees these handwritings will feel chills!
It turns out that the handwriting is red, bright red!
Especially when the lights shine, it's dazzlingly red!
People react differently to danger.
Peter, for example, though he also softened a bit. But he cursed in a low voice, and stepped over from the side of the stone tablet.
And that coffin board face took several steps back at a faster speed!
Mai Ke didn't expect Peter to act without permission, and he didn't have time to organize, so he only shouted: "Back to ......"
Before the word "come" could be spoken, there was a loud bang, and a huge roar of a Mauser gun sounded in the cave!
Then, countless bullets swept out of the walls in a torrential manner.
It turned out that Peter stepped on it with one foot, and he better touched the main bolt of the gun that controlled the platoon. Hundreds of powerful Mauser guns fired at the same time!
What a wheat ke!
At the moment of life and death, he showed his skills, and with a half-circle of each wave, he blocked the Mauser bullets that were shooting at him!
In addition to Mai Ke himself, there are also Tan Fengwu, Tan Guo, and Tan Shilong in the circle.
Platoon guns rang out, but they were unharmed.
Although Peter caused trouble and did not get the protection of Mai Ke, his original suit adaptability has also reached a certain level!
At his level, helping others is nothing more than chicken ribs. It's more than enough to protect yourself.
Mai Ke just wanted to take a breath, when suddenly there was an extremely painful scream on the way!
"Guan Cai!" Tan Shilong shouted.
It turned out that this was a large size with a coffin plate face.
Mai Ke rushed out in one step!
No wonder something seemed wrong just now. It turned out that this kid broke away from the brigade!
To say, this coffin is really self-inflicted, if he is with everyone, Mai Ke will definitely put him under his protection, and he will never be injured.
However, he pretended to be clever. Thinking about his own advantages and avoiding disadvantages, he turned out to be asking for trouble.
The array of guns just now, everyone else was fine, but he was shot three times in a row!
I don't know if I was hit by a stray bullet, or if I was hit by a ricochet that bounced off Mai Ke and Peter!
Three shots were shot at him. Fortunately, it was not critical, and he dealt with it himself, one in each thigh and the other in the right shoulder.
From the feeling of feeling, he felt that the hand injury was not serious, not that it hurt very much.
Where did he know, as soon as he finished bandaging, a bone-eating pain struck, and he only had time to scream before he fell to the ground, and he didn't know who was gone.
The function of human life quickly departed from him.
Mai Ke took a closer look, only to see Guan Cai's coffin board face the color of dead wood, which had now turned purple and black!
If you look closely, there is a slight redden.
Poison dart wood poisoning!
The poison dart tree, commonly known as the Bloody Throat, is a tall tree native to the Malay Archipelago and is known as the most poisonous tree in the world......
This kind of poison is extracted from this kind of tree, as long as it hurts people and sees blood, it will immediately kill people.
I don't know how these Dutch got these things, but it occurred to him that they had established the East India Company, and most of them were collected from those commercial sources.
What's more powerful is that it can be used on Mauser bullets!
After Mai Ke was diagnosed, he knew that he was helpless, so he hurriedly asked Lingxi to help.
Lingxi immediately diagnosed and treated, and it took about a minute, a hundred times longer than the usual diagnosis and treatment of a person, to bring this coffin face back to life.
Not only is this poison wood too powerful, but it also takes a little longer to see it in the clinic from the poisoning.
If the delay is a little longer, the coffin board face will be completely coffin board, and the whole body will enter the coffin.
Wrong!
Now it's not a coffin face!
It turned out that Lingxi's movement not only detoxified him, but also cured him!
Not only did he cure the disease, but he also improved his physical quality, and the increase was also the limit, 20 percent!
Now Guan Cai is already a handsome little student!
It turned out that his coffin was not like this since he was a child, but since he engaged in the cause of tomb robbing, he was infected by the poisonous gas, moisture, mildew, stench, and miasma of the underground cemetery.
As a direct consequence, his face became the same color as rotten wood, and it was extremely stiff.
It's not that he doesn't want to adjust his facial expressions. It's that the facial nerves have become insensitive!
Although his face was stiff, his emotions were also greatly affected, and they were also synchronized with his facial expressions.
And the stiffness of the mood also promotes the stiffness of the face.
A mood that was always stiff, a face that was even stiffer, made him more and more rigid.
If there is no diagnosis and treatment of Mai Ke. In the near future, he will be completely ossified, like a zombie, and even if he is still alive, he will become a walking corpse.
Guan Cai's treatment has arrived, and he has a new look!
He bowed to Mai Ke, thanked and apologized for the work, and didn't say much, work!
So, he took the last position. All of a sudden, he hugged him to the front and walked with Peter.
Peter got into trouble just now and was punched hard by Mai Ke!
Beat Peter to the point where he grinned for a long time!
Mai Ke really used the most energy!
A force of nature, of course.
After being punched, the whole reckless mistake in front was written off, and his men also withdrew and continued into the hole with Mai Ke.
Now everyone honestly obeys Mai Ke's arrangement.
Moving on, Mai Ke stood in the first place, and with him was Guan Cai.
Guan Cai's current technical level has been greatly improved, and it has been sent to the hidden organs of the foundation.
There is one of them. is a detonating device, if stepped on. will detonate the explosives buried here.
Follow the fuse and follow the map, and soon arrive at the cave where the explosives are stored.
Seeing this hill-like explosives, everyone was stunned and couldn't help but be scared for a while.
That's too much!
This is not just the equivalent of killing a few people, but destroying the entire mountain!
Mai Ke praised Guan Cai fiercely, and rewarded him with an official position on the spot.
The official title is the director of the Bureau of Research and Conservation of Ancient Tombs.
Let's be honest. It was to let him open the ancient tomb openly and remove the word "thief" from the tomb.
Guan Cai is overjoyed!
I feel that today is really a good day, and I am happy to come to the door!
The happiest thing is that the new injuries and old illnesses are swept away, and the joy is that I get the job I love the most.
These things are happy episodes, and the main task is still going on in an orderly manner.
The deeper you go, the more clues you find. The more protective traps the Dutch laid.
Guan Cai carefully surveyed around the pile of explosives to make sure that all the ignition lines were found and cut off.
Towards the end, he found an iron box with two pages of text inside.
He didn't dare to deal with it himself, and handed it over directly to Mai Ke.
As soon as Mai Ke saw this kind of box, he knew that it was a very rudimentary detonation device, as long as he did not follow the prescribed procedures, he would destroy the text because of the explosion.
What's even worse is that it will detonate a whole bunch of explosives!
This designer is really a link!
It seems that this text is definitely very important, as long as the person who sees it is wrong, he would rather destroy it, and he would rather burn the jade and stone than fall into the hands of outsiders.
This kind of setting is difficult for Mai Ke, his agent skills are already one of the things to deal with such a situation, not to mention that he now has the special ability of the six elements.
He pressed the explosive device with gas element, preventing it from activating, and then used gold element to cut the iron box along the perimeter.
In just one moment, he completely disintegrated the iron box and the device inside, and safely took out the text inside.
Although it is only two pages, there is a lot of information in it, directly explaining what is in this cave, for what purpose, and of course, by the way, to tell Mai Ke who is in charge of this huge project and the whole plan.
It turns out that this cave hides the vast wealth of a fallen hegemonic state and their ambitions and preparations to make a comeback.
The Qiē here is hosted by the Dutch East India Company, and the army here is also to protect the East India Company.
This company, which is a commercial organization on the outside, is actually a complex of military, colonial, expansion, commercial and other functions.
In addition to these superficial functions, they also collect cultural antiquities from various countries in various ways.
I have to say that they are very forward-looking.
Over the years, they have not only accumulated a lot of money, but also gathered a large number of cultural relics and monuments.
Some of these things are purchased through normal channels, such as those royal nobles, who sell their ancestral jewelry and jade.
Some of them are scattered folk antiquities that are purchased from the common people at very low prices.
However, the main thing is that they take matters into their own hands, digging graves and stealing underground artifacts.
What's more, they use theft or robbery to loot cultural relics and monuments.
For example, in the Dunhuang Grottoes, they sent people to chisel down the stone statues there and keep them for themselves.
The East India Company made a windfall outside, but at home, it continued to fail, and its homeland was in danger, so they did not dare to transport back to their homeland what they plundered.
Originally, they should have taken all these things to their hometown, where they lived the life of a rich man once and for all.
In this case, they had to look for other alternatives, as hiding places for these treasures, and, if possible, to find a permanent home that could replace their homeland.
Formosa is their permanent home!
Therefore, they said that there was wealth, whether it was the silver taels accumulated in commerce or the cultural antiquities accumulated by special activities, they were all transported here in a steady stream, and all of them were hidden in this cave.
Unfortunately, their dreams were shattered again.
Zheng Chenggong not only occupied this treasure island, but also completely shattered their dream of making Formosa their settlement.
Before evacuating, they gathered the best tomb robbers and military experts to carefully design and build this treasure cave.
The facilities and protection inside were all at the top level at that time.
The purpose is to preserve the accumulated treasures as capital for future comebacks.
This note occupies almost two pages.
Then here's a list of treasures.
This list is not long, only three lines.
Mai Ke only glanced at it, and knew that the treasures were stored in different caves, all carved along the main cave they had entered.
A cave is a separate storage room.
Mai Ke then looked at the list.
The first row contains gold, and there are two caves.
The second row is silver taels, and there are a hundred caves in total.
The third row is the category of cultural relics and monuments, with a total of 150 caves!
It's okay if Mai Ke doesn't look at it, but at a glance, the heart of the essentially curious baby jumps happily!
What's there?
He knew that the Dutch East India Company's area of operation included not only China, but also other Asian countries!
They must have collected all sorts of strange things!
The point is that this amount is also too large!
They can't just collect something that has no value, can they?
At the very least, it has to be potentially valuable!
Everyone saw that Mai Ke's face was changing, but they were all within the range of joy, and they were all excited to rise wave by wave, and they all longed for Mai Ke to quickly reveal one or two, it is better to be happy alone than to be happy!
Mai Ke knew that there was no danger from here, so he waved his hand to everyone and shouted, "Let's go!
Then, everyone will work together to determine which are the golden caves, which are the silver caves, and which are the cultural relics caves.
Fortunately, there are signs on the outside of the cave, and after everyone walked, everyone knew the ancient Dutch word "silver".
When the 252 holes were finished, everyone felt unbelievable!
So much wealth has been plundered!
Mai Ke was surprised that it wasn't this!
There are two more caves!
What's in there? .
(To be continued......)
