Chapter 1253: The Tsar's Diamond Vault
Chapter 1253 Tsar's Diamond Vault
……
"Whew, it's finally done!"
After wiping the sweat that appeared on his forehead because of nervousness, Liu Dong turned to look at the golden mountains and silver seas behind him.
Now it's time to get into the hardest but also big chunks of fat to eat!
"Damn, it can't be the famous 'Paul I' diamond, right?"
As soon as he turned his attention to the pile of gold jewelry, Liu Dong found a gorgeous crown inlaid with diamonds and pearls in the corner of the scattered gold mountain, and in the center of this crown was inlaid with a purple-red oval diamond, which was equivalent to the size of a child's fist!
Liu Dong, who is obsessed with collecting, is no stranger to this diamond, and its name is 'Paul I' in the world's top diamond information!
Originally a top-quality diamond set in the center of the Indian crown, it was later owned by Peter the Great, the fourth Tsar of the Russian Empire.
When it comes to Paul I, it is impossible not to mention the famous Russian Diamond Vault, or Tsar's Diamond Vault, which is known as one of the ten treasures of the world!
At the beginning of the 18th century, Peter the Great issued a special decree for the protection of treasures, requiring the people of the country not to sell the precious jewels and ornaments in the chamber at will, and the diamonds and jewels above a certain weight must be purchased by the royal family. In addition, Peter the Great searched the world for diamond jewelry, and many small countries learned that he had the best jewelry in their own hands, hoping to be sheltered and blessed.
Peter the Great built a mysterious building in the East Palace of St. Petersburg, where he lived, and all the jewels he collected were treasured inside, which the world called the Diamond Vault.
After Peter the Great. The most obsessed with collecting jewels was Empress Catherine II. If every woman in the world loved diamonds. Then the woman who loved diamonds the most was Catherine II, one of the emperors of the Russian Empire.
Her obsession with diamonds bordered on madness. Valuable diamond jewellery is worn every day, and the pattern is often renewed. She demanded a high level of craftsmanship in diamond cutting and setting, and it was during the time of Catherine II that the best diamond cutting experts in Russian history appeared.
Generations of royalty have been collecting diamonds, and Russia's diamond vaults have become the most concentrated place for precious diamonds, including three of the world's top 10 largest diamonds.
the world's third-largest cut diamond, the Orkov diamond; and the 398.72-carat spinel in the crowned crown of Catherine II, one of Russia's "seven jewels that must be protected"; Both are among the best in the Tsar's Diamond Vault.
And the Paul I diamond is one of them!
Generally speaking, hundreds of carats of cut diamonds are undoubtedly national treasures, and they are hard to come by!
With Liu Dong's relics against the sky. So far, I have only collected 3 large diamonds weighing more than 100 carats!
However, although diamonds are very tempting and gold is even more tempting, Liu Dong is very entangled in his heart!
Unlike the skeleton and artwork just now, they are all large pieces, and the number is small, so it's easy to clean up! These gold nuggets, gold coins, silver coins, all kinds of jewelry, plus gold and silver objects of different sizes, they were piled up together and could not receive them in the mustard seed space like Liu Dong dismantled the building blocks before.
As long as Liu Dong moves, it will definitely cause a stir.
Liu Dong didn't want to bet on the hearing of this big monster. And whether it went into a deep slumber.
He wanted to be completely prepared before acting. It's best to take all the gold, diamonds, jewelry, and art away before the big monster comes to his senses.
"But what should be done?"
Liu Dong touched his chin. 'Looking' at the great monster not far away and the wealth beneath him fell into deep thought.
"There it is!"
After contemplating for a while, Liu Dong's eyes lit up!
After looking at the golden mountain with a diameter of more than 50 meters and an average thickness of more than one meter, Liu Dong walked over lightly, and soon used the relics Yuanguang to make a 'mouth' zigzag corridor passage with a height of two meters and a width of one and a half meters under this golden mountain.
Liu Dong Relic Yuanguang automatically picks up a radius of 13 meters and a diameter of 26 meters, as long as he turns back and forth, he can basically put away all the gold, silver and jewelry before the big monster reacts.
However, Liu Dong didn't know how fast this big monster could react, so he decided to do his best to increase his speed. It's best to be able to escape with the jewels and gold before the big monster reacts.
"Fight!"
After trying to breathe a sigh of relief in his heart, Liu Dong stared at the 30-meter-long tunnel in front of him with radiant eyes, and then slowly squatted down, supported his arms forward, and made a 100-meter runner's starting posture.
In order to improve his speed as much as possible, Liu Dong did this for the first time.
"Whew!"
I took a deep breath, then slowly spit it out, and after calming my mind, I gathered the explosive power of my whole body in my legs!
"Three, two,...... One! ”
After silently reciting the word 'one' in his heart, Liu Dong's powerful force pushed his body to bounce out in an instant, and in less than a second, the distance of 30 meters had already crossed the past. And half of the gold and silver sea on the ground of the cave more than 8 meters away from him disappeared in an instant.
Without the support of gold and silver, the big monster that was sleeping on it fell down with a 'bang'.
In this case, as long as it is a living creature, it will wake up even if it sleeps deeply.
Therefore, on the huge head as big as a house, the eyes that were originally closed opened suddenly. The vertical pupils, which were two circles larger than the grinding plate, revealed a trace of confusion that had not yet reacted.
But when he could look through the 360° range of his eyes and notice that the shiny 'cuties' that he liked and collected over the years under his body had disappeared under his nose, the confused vertical pupils instantly erupted with endless cruelty!
"Roar ......!"
The fangs as sharp as the door panels were exposed, and a roar like rolling thunder erupted from the huge mouth that could swallow an elephant in one gulp.
In an instant, the entire huge cave covering an area of 20,000 square meters and a height of more than 2,000 meters shook with this huge roar.
Liu Dong, who was just under the big monster, felt as if a 305mm caliber naval gun had fired a cannon in his ear. If it weren't for the fact that his system was several times stronger than ordinary people, I'm afraid that this ear drum would have been shattered!
"Not good!"
Just when Liu Dong noticed that the roar had stopped, his face changed instantly.
Because of his relics Yuanguang, he noticed that the big monster that seemed to be a combination of a dragon and a crocodile, actually seemed to see through the eight-meter rock barrier, and directly stared at his location.
"Made, does this big guy have the ability to see through too?"
Liu Dong scolded wildly in his heart, turned around and ran away without hesitation, of course, he didn't forget to take away all the gold and silver that he had left out at the end.
But it obviously angered the big monster even more.
"Roar ......!"
In the huge roar of the ear-shattering drum, the big monster's thick tail with a length of 45 meters, like an optimus pillar, first lifted into the air, and then smashed down towards Liu Dong's direction with a huge momentum.
"Boom......!"
Under the tremendous force of thousands of tons, the hard rock was like a dough and was pulled out of a huge crater with a length of 100 meters, a depth of more than 10 meters, and an average width of nearly 40 meters by the powerful tail of the big monster!
At this time, although Liu Dong avoided the tail of the big monster, which seemed to cause an eight-magnitude earthquake, the whole person was also extremely embarrassed.
"Damn, it almost made me a meatloaf!"
After scolding angrily in his heart, Liu Dong couldn't help but gasp when he 'looked' at the situation behind him.
I was not only shocked by the great monster's huge power, but also glad that I was just two meters away from the risk of being affected by the other party's tail.
This time, he's really 'dancing on the tip of a knife'!
"Made, if you encounter this kind of big guy again in the future, don't care if he is a cultural relic or not, and hit him with a bazooka first!"
Although he thought so, Liu Dong didn't have the slightest intention of turning around and saying goodbye to this big monster now.
Stand up, turn around and run, and run straight to the cave wall in the distance!
"Roar ......!"
Liu Dong's running movement obviously alarmed the big monster who originally thought that he had killed the treasure thief.
I saw a big monster with a body length of nearly 100 meters and a weight of more than 1,000 tons, with an absolutely surprising flexibility, turned around in an instant, and then the long giant claws took a few steps forward in a row, and the raised tail once again carried Wan Jun to smash down.
"Boom ......!"
It was as if an earthquake of magnitude 8 had reappeared in this stone cave, which was several thousand meters deep underground.
And with the previous experience, Liu Dong was more successful in dodging this time. Although it was still a little embarrassed by the shaking underground, it undoubtedly avoided great danger.
However, the big monster is clearly not a master who can give up easily. actually chased Liu Dong's footsteps and smashed it all the way.
Suddenly, the originally calm cave shook violently like boiling water, and rocks of all sizes gradually fell from the walls of the cave.
Especially after Liu Dong had already fled into the cave wall, the tail of the big monster actually pumped directly on the cave wall. The powerful force immediately collapsed the cave, which had been overwhelmed by the previous tremors.
"Roar...... Bang......! ”
The pouring rocks, like rolling mudslides, poured down from the top of the cave. In just a dozen seconds, the big monster was buried underneath.
Liu Dong, who saw this scene through the relics Yuanguang, was relieved in his heart!
"Damn, I just called you proud, the young master is like a rabbit, if it weren't for the fact that the young master still has some ability, running so fast than you, this will smash you into meat sauce!"
'Looking' at the big monster that was smashed under thousands of tons of rocks and had no movement, Liu Dong stopped fleeing and let out a fierce sigh.
He had just put his heart in his throat, but he had never been so thrilling and embarrassed. (To be continued.) )
