Hong Yan wanted to leave the mother and son of the elephant who were in distress, but he was worried that the mother elephant's ankle would deteriorate again. Therefore, he had no choice but to continue with them for a while.

The baby elephant has not been born for a long time, and after a long journey with its mother, and has encountered hardships, it has stumbled and struggled to keep up. Mother elephant had to stop and wait for the baby elephant. Hong Yan patted his mother's ear and jumped down. After Hong Yan came down, the mother elephant would not go again, and the baby elephant would be able to stop and rest. Of course, the necessary energy replenishment is a must.

One man and two elephants don't know how far they have gone. At dawn, Hong Yan finally found a group of elephants walking in the dense forest, a distance of one thousand meters. The herd is huge, with more than 40 elephants. This is the second herd he has discovered. An adult grandmother-sized female elephant leads the way, and numerous adult female elephants protect the calves. The baby elephant may run up and down mischievously beside its mother, or enjoy a moment of motherly affection in its mother's womb. Occasionally a baby elephant leaves the herd, and the head elephant roars, and they obediently return to their mother. This is a hierarchical and orderly group.

The forest woke up and the birds chirped. Like a mother's long roar, full of infinite joy. She suddenly arched the baby elephant. The baby elephant immediately ran fast. The mother elephant also quickened her steps, as if she already knew that the herd was not far from them. Gradually, Hong Yan heard the elephant chirping in front of him and harmonizing with the chirping of the elephant's mother.

It looks like they're supposed to be a family.

The moment of being together is joyful. Hong Yan did not continue to stay on the back of the elephant mother. He jumped early on the periphery of the treetops and watched the heartwarming scene. The baby elephant bumped into the east and west of the herd, and it was very happy.

It's like a mother is chirping, as if she's telling something. The elephant suddenly raised its head to the sky and roared, and the mother elephant returned to the treetops where Hong Yan was standing, her nose shaking around. Hong Yan jumped down lightly and sat back on her thick back. Mother Elephant is back in the herd. The adult elephants chirped in unison, as if welcoming Hong Yan.

Oh, the welcome ceremony of the elephant herd seems to be spectacular! Well, there should be a thank you gift too, right? Hong Yan jumped into the middle of the elephant herd, and instantly appeared a place of watermelons, bananas, greens, corn stalks, etc., and then a large vat of fairy garden water.

No matter how smart an elephant is, he won't feel how wicked it is to take things out of thin air. It's just that what exudes the heart and soul of the elephant is more attractive, and on the contrary, the head elephant is the last to enjoy it. An elephant eats dozens of kilograms of food at a time, so it eats a lot and needs a lot of plants, and only grasslands and forests can feed them.

The mother and son of the fallen elephant returned to the team, and Hong Yan was very happy. Hong Yan checked his mother's ankle again and found that the wound had healed, and if it hadn't been for the light rain last night, it would have healed faster. After cleaning the wound, a few more bottles of white medicine, and feeding a bottle of rapid recovery liquid, Hong Yan touched his mother's proboscis and patted her big ears again, and then pointed to the distance and the sky, signaling that he was leaving.

Unbeknownst to him, the head elephant started to move forward with a long roar, and the elephant mother's proboscis rolled immediately stopped Hong Yan's footsteps. Hong Yan didn't know why, so he had to follow along. Passing through a narrow valley with steep walls on both sides, you can only see a glimmer of sky when you look up. At noon, the elephants came to a small lake in the mountains, with clear water and green grass. The reflection of the mountains is better than a fairyland on earth.

A cliff in the northwest, the Tianhe River hangs upside down, flies down, and the shock is magnificent. What a trip it was worth! It's really a paradise, if you build a camp here and have enough of the hustle and bustle of the world, how good would it be to come here for a vacation and cultivate your mind?

Seeing this beautiful scenery, how could Hong Yan not be tempted, and immediately took out his camera to shoot waterfalls, blue water, and mountains. Then there are the herds, mischievous baby elephants and tall adult elephants. If there were a camera, filming the elephant herd would be an absolute sensation.

Hong Yan's happiness, the elephant herd seems to feel it. From time to time, a few baby elephants rubbed around Hong Yan, looking affectionate. Inevitably, Hong Yan set up a tripod and took a selfie.

After a long time, the elephant mother came over and rolled the Hongyan with her proboscis and pushed it towards the cliff. Hong Yan was surprised, the situation of Shenma?

Under the cliff, it is more difficult to feel that the cliff is high and the water is long, and the sky is not visible. Hong Yan looked up, turned on the humanoid radar scan, and really found something unusual. There is a very inconspicuous small platform more than 20 meters above the ground, and the mountain wall is a little different from the others. The wall is hollow, and the abdomen is hidden. The small platform is not far from the main stream of the waterfall. In the dry season, the amount of water is small, the waterfall is narrow, and the water does not affect it. If the river increases during the rainy season and the river widens, the waterfall will inevitably widen and obscure the small platform.

Hong Yan patted his mother's ear and pointed to it. Then, leap up and, after borrowing power from a cliff, land on a small platform. In fact, the small platform protrudes only slightly, less than half a foot wide. Dots of green appeared on the mountain wall, and a miscellaneous tree the thickness of an arm grew tenaciously in the crack of the wall not far away.

A mountain wall with a width of one meter and a height of one meter and a half meters is quite special. The difference from other places is that the plants that grow are relatively simple, all of which are mosses. Hongyan can only be distinguished when he stands relatively close. Hong Yan had discovered that behind the mountain wall was a long cave. Pulling out an M7 to scrape off the yellowed moss on the mountain wall, a stone gate appeared in front of him.

It's just a stone gate, of course, it can't stop Hong Yan. Easily brute-forced, the stone gate disappears. A dark and rotten aura wafted out, and Hong Yan flashed aside. Places that have been closed for many years need to be ventilated, emitting possible toxic gases from their doors. Hong Yan was about to jump off the cliff to thank his mother. However, he noticed that the group was gradually disappearing into the forest on the other side of the lake.

He didn't know where the cave would lead, or what was inside. However, the cave must be a secret in the elephant herd, perhaps a secret that only the head elephant knows. Do smart elephants also know gratitude? Hong Yan rescued the mother and son of the elephant who had fallen behind, removed the trap that had plagued her for many days, and allowed the mother and son to return to the elephant herd. The consequences of being injured and left behind may have a memory, will she point to this mountain wall?

When the elephants leave, Hong Yan will not catch up again. After all, humans and beasts belong to two very different worlds. Hong Yan is kind to them, but it doesn't mean that others are the same. Asian elephants have short tusks for female elephants, but they are also killed by frenzied humans. Therefore, if you really let the elephant herd stay with Hong Yan for a long time, it may have serious consequences.

Hong Yan shouted at the distant elephant herd and signaled goodbye. The mountain was loud from afar, and the elephant also made a long roar, which was a response. While waiting, quite bored, he simply went to the lake to swim. There are no water monsters in the small lake. In the previous life, the backstroke, freestyle, breaststroke, etc. were only one scale and half a claw, but at this time, they showed it in a chic and stretched manner, as fast as a swimming fish, like a wishful turn.

An hour later, Hong Yan jumped onto the platform again. With a flashlight in hand, I entered the cave. His eyes were dark, and he stood for a moment to get used to it. Walking inside, the flashlight swept over the cave wall, and there were traces of manual excavation. After more than ten meters, the cave gradually widens, but it slopes downward, and the steps are quite dry.

Hong Yan's steps were light, and even in the terrifyingly quiet cave, there was no sound at all. After going down more than 20 steps, a pile of white bones crawled on the steps. If you hadn't been on the battlefield, seen corpses, and killed people with your own hands, wouldn't you have scared your soul out of suddenly encountering a skeleton in such a deep and dark cave?

The white bones are scattered on the steps, and they must crawl before they die, and the target must be the entrance of the cave. Nothing but bones. He was not allowed to study it, the leg bones and ribs of the skeleton were broken, and it seemed that he had suffered a major blow before his death. After going down more than twenty steps, it seems to be the end. Hong Yan found that it seemed that he had come to get the cave world, and it was. The steps should have been carved out of the original foundation according to the mountain.

However, although it is a karst cave world, it is thousands of miles worse than those famous karst caves in China, even with those in Yuzhou. Although the cave is small, there are stalactites, stone curtains, stone flowers, stalagmites, and stone pillars connected by stalactites on the top of the cave and stalagmites on the ground.

Hong Yan had no time to take a closer look. He discovers more skeletons and relics, guns, water bottles, helmets, etc. The wood rots and the steel rusts. Carefully stepping past the skeleton, Hong Yan entered the wide place in the cave, and in the middle of the hall, dozens of wooden boxes were looked up and down.

This is the most important thing in the cave. The wooden box was stacked in three layers, and under it was a layer of 30-centimeter-high stones and linoleum cloth that had not decayed. The wooden crate is of excellent material and shows no signs of decay. Under the count, there are 88 boxes in total.

Hong Yan looked at the entire cave. In a cave more than 20 meters deep, there are many bones. There were bullet holes on the skull, sternum and leg bones, and bullets could also be found on the ground, apparently as a result of mass shooting. The other twelve skeletons scattered in the cave can be concluded from the analysis of their belongings: they are Japanese soldiers during World War II. Twelve Japanese soldiers massacred more than 100 natives?

The skeleton on the stone steps was supposed to be a survivor of the massacre. However, he still did not crawl out of the cave and escaped.

After careful inspection, Hong Yan did not find traps around and at the bottom of the wooden box. The wooden box has a lid, a lock, and is in perfect condition. There is no dust accumulation on the surface of the box. The surface of the wooden box on the top layer is engraved with patterns, which is exquisitely made, beautiful in shape, and exquisite in materials.

Hong Yan squatted down and used the broken blade to cut off the copper lock on the nearest box, and with a slight lift, the lid of the box was flipped back. Under the flashlight, the contents of the box shimmered golden, and it was slightly dazzling. K, gold! It's not that gold has this color, and it is estimated that it was moved during World War II, and the general items have long been rusted.

A box of gold bricks with uniform specifications and neatly stacked! Of course, it is not as uniform as the BRICS in the banks of Vietnam. I'm afraid that such a box will weigh 500 pounds. Hong Yan removed the locks of the boxes, opened them one by one, and checked them one by one. There are a total of 80 boxes of gold bricks, totaling 20 tons. The remaining eight boxes are either jadeite, agate, ruby sapphire, etc., or jewelry with Southeast Asian characteristics. Hong Yan also found some Buddhist articles in it.

The people of Vientiane, Cotton Tree, Thailand, Myanmar and other countries believe in Buddhism and like to shape their golden bodies. These countries are rich in gold, and gold ornaments are often used. During World War II, Japan slaughtered its people and plundered its wealth every time it occupied a region. These gold treasures are supposed to have been plundered from these countries, but they were somehow transported here and hidden in caves.

Therefore, it is not difficult to deduce that the twelve Japanese soldiers were escorts and supervisors. More than 100 natives must have been laborers, who were forced to transport their wealth and use the cave as a base to create a treasure cache. In the end, in order to keep the secret, all of them were killed. Why did twelve Japanese soldiers also die inside? Did some of the Japanese soldiers return home or died in battle? If they had returned to Japan, they would have been found by the nature of the Japanese people in the form of investment and aid.
