The hillside covered by green vines, just more than 30 meters in front of the lake, Zhuang Rui was running, and found that from the lake to the hillside, there were a wide and long bluestone road slabs, and the traces of man-made construction were already very obvious.

The distance of more than thirty meters was only a flash for the aura in Zhuang Rui's eyes, and before Zhuang Rui had time to sigh at the wide bluestone steps, the aura had already covered the entire hillside in front of him.

"I ...... I...... I rely on !!"

At the same time as the aura wrapped the hillside, Zhuang Rui's body that was originally running forward stumbled, and his feet were tripped by vines again, and the whole person fell to the ground.

But Zhuang Rui, who fell to the ground. At this moment, he didn't care about the pain in his arm at all, his eyes widened, and he stared at the hillside in disbelief.

No...... Where is the hillside? It was a castle, but it was covered with wild vines in the forest, and more importantly, much of the castle was made of gold.

Inside and outside the main body of the castle, there is a very thin but pure gold wall, and the countless furniture decorations in the castle are all made of gold and silver, and the proportion of silver is relatively larger.

Such a castle that can be called a golden city contains a huge amount of energy, and as soon as Zhuang Rui's aura came into contact with it, he was moistened by that energy, and of course he couldn't feel the pain of falling.

"Brother Zhuang, what's wrong?

Peng Fei, who was following Zhuang Rui, stretched out his hand and pulled Zhuang Rui up, he had followed Zhuang Rui for so many years, and he had never seen Zhuang Rui look like this.

"Huh, is there something strange about that hillside?"

Peng Fei didn't pay attention to Zhuang Rui when he saw him, just stared at the hillside in front of him with a pair of eyes, and couldn't help but look at him as well.

At this time, the silver back, which was subdued by Zhuang Rui, also ran to the hillside, only to see that it grabbed the vines and easily climbed to the halfway slope, and then lifted a place covered by vines with its big hand, and the whole figure disappeared inside.

"This ...... What color is this?"

This time, even Peng Fei noticed that at the moment when the vines were lifted, the afterglow of the setting sun shone on it, and there was a dazzling light, and Peng Fei, who was not prepared at all, was full of small Venus in his eyes that were flashing.

"Gold...... Golden City!"

Zhuang Rui's expression was a little sluggish, although he had already used his aura to survey the situation in the castle, but he still couldn't believe that there was such a great building in the hinterland of this forest.

In terms of scale, the castle covers an area of less than a hectare and is only three stories high, which is really nothing compared to the ancient castles in the West, but ...... The interior and exterior of this castle are decorated with gold, but the castle is given a completely different meaning.

Even if the gold that adorns the walls is only a thin layer, even if the silver ornaments in the castle are much higher than the gold ornaments, they can't hold the castle as big as it is.

Zhuang Rui believes that if all this gold is collected together, the total amount will be much higher than the golden house in Genghis Khan's mausoleum, so it is not an exaggeration for Zhuang Rui to call it a golden city.

The light that appeared just now was fleeting, and before Peng Fei could identify the color of the light, it was covered by vines, and now after hearing Zhuang Rui's words, he couldn't help but widen his eyes, and muttered: "Huang ...... Brother Zhuang, was that golden light just now?"

"That's right, it's the reflection of gold, oh my God, this ...... How is this possible!"

Zhuang Rui realized his gaffe, and hurriedly said: "Go, don't stand there, go in and have a look......"

"Whoa!"

When Zhuang Rui and Peng Fei were communicating, King Kong had already run to the bottom of the castle, and after seeing many of his subordinates burrowing into these vines, King Kong roared loudly.

With the roar of King Kong, one gorilla after another lifted the vines and revealed their heads, which made Zhuang Rui and Peng Fei see more and more clearly, the walls that flashed with golden light were definitely made of gold.

"This ...... What the hell is it?"

Zhuang Rui groaned meaninglessly, he thought about the archaeological history of the world, and there was no record of the golden city hidden in the forests of Central Africa, except for Solomon's treasure in Africa, there seemed to be no place to attract adventurers.

"Could it be that the Golden City of the Amazon was built in imitation of this Golden City?"

Suddenly, this thought popped into Zhuang Rui's mind, and once this thought was born, it could no longer be driven out of his mind.

Among the ten treasures of the world, the Golden City is famous, but it is about the Inca kingdom of South America in the Middle Ages.

In ancient South America, there was a very powerful Inca Empire, and legend has it that all the palaces and temples in the capital of the Inca Empire were decorated with a large amount of gold and silver, which was brilliant and splendid.

At the beginning of the 16th century, the Spaniards overthrew the Inca Empire and plundered all the gold and gemstones.

Pizarro, the Spanish commander at the time, heard that all the gold of the Inca Empire was brought from Manoa, ruled by a chieftain named Patti, and that there was a mountain of gold and silver treasures, Pizarro immediately organized an expedition to the Golden City, located deep in the Amazon forest.

However, in this vast primeval forest, where every step forward means fear and death, there are fierce snakes, savage cannibal tribes, lost paths and threats, and expeditions that have returned disappointed or are missing, making Pizarro look at the forest from afar and comfort with imagination.

Later, the Spanish, Portuguese, English, Dutch and Germans heard of the Golden City, and everyone wanted to grab a fortune, so they flocked to the Amazon jungle.

Among them, a Spaniard named Kaisada led an expedition of about 716 people to the Golden City.

After paying a terrible price of 550 lives, the Golden City and the legendary Golden Lake were finally discovered in the jungle of Kandinamarga, and 3 million dollars worth of emerald gems were found, but this was only a small part of the treasure that the Golden City could not be valued.

The so-called Golden Lake refers to the traditional coronation ceremony of the ancient Inca emperors.

According to the 17th-century narration of the nephew of the last king of the Indians, the heir to the throne at that time was coated with gold dust, like a gold mold, and then swam in the lake to wash away the gold dust.

Then his subjects offered gold and jade, piled at his feet, and the new king threw all the gold into the lake as a sacrifice to God, a traditional ritual that was held countless times in the ancient Inca Empire, showing the temptation of the golden lake.

Since the 16th century, people have been salvaging the golden lake, at the beginning of the last century, a British company dug a tunnel to drain the lake, but the sun quickly dried the thick mud into dry hard mud slabs, and when the British brought in drilling equipment from England, the lake was filled with water again, and this costly salvage failed.

In 1974, Colombia was worried that the treasure in the lake would fall into the hands of others, so he sent an army to protect the golden lake, and no one has been able to approach the treasure again, so the mysterious golden lake has become an unsolvable mystery.

"Could it be that this is the legendary Golden Lake?"

After Zhuang Rui flashed this allusion in his mind, he suddenly turned his head and looked at the glowing lake.

Although this allusion tells a story that happened in the Amazon jungle of South America, the situation in front of him is so similar that Zhuang Rui has no way not to connect them.

"Brother Zhuang, here...... There are so many bones......"

Just as Zhuang Rui was guessing the origin of this lake and the Golden City, Peng Fei's voice suddenly sounded in his ears.

"What's going on?"

Zhuang Rui followed the prestige and saw that Peng Fei had turned on the strong light, and was squatting under the green vines with a frown, and hurriedly walked over.

"Damn, what's going on?"

When Zhuang Rui walked to Peng Fei's side, he couldn't help but be startled by the white bones on the ground, there were dozens of these bones, and the bones of each corpse were very complete, but the bones were a little black, as if they had been corroded by some substance.

"These are supposed to be human bones......"

Zhuang Rui's doctor of archaeology is not a white scholar, and he also knows a little about human anatomy, these skulls are composed of frontal bones, temporal bones, parietal bones, occipital bones, sphenoid bones, and ethmoid bones, showing typical human characteristics.

"How did they die? It seems to have been corroded by strong acid, Brother Zhuang, this place is a little strange......" Peng Fei's brows furrowed tightly, since he came to this area, he felt a little frightened.

"Can you kid say something nice, there are gorillas living here, what's weird?"

At this time, the sun had completely set from one end of the forest, and the entire forest was shrouded in darkness, except for the lights around Zhuang Rui and Peng Fei, everything else was pitch black.

Who are these people? Why did they come here? Why did they die here? And they didn't have any rotten clothes around them, and where did the clothes go? All of this is unknown.

The unknown is always the biggest enemy in the hearts of human beings, and the sudden discovery of many human bones in the depths of this forest is a bit weird in itself, coupled with Peng Fei's words, Zhuang Rui also felt a chill in his heart, "Damn, I always feel a little wrong......" Peng Fei took the submachine gun on his back in his hand while speaking, and at the same time took out four glow sticks from his backpack.

After shaking it in his hand, Peng Fei threw the glow stick out in four directions, and this kind of military-specific glow stick suddenly made the dozens of meters around the two of them brighten.
