Chapter 570: Treasure Crisis
There were no more attacks in the second half of the night, but even so, the next morning, Han Qingqing and Connie's faces still had two shallow tiredness on their faces, obviously, the frightened two did not sleep well in the second half of the night.
Everyone packed their bags and hit the road, and Colonel Harry took care of Princess Connie and didn't go too fast.
Although the first day was a danger with wolves, the next few days went well.
Although there were poisonous snakes marching in the grass, wild bears foraging in the woods, and crocodiles like dead trees in the river, they were not attacked again, and after a five-day journey, they finally arrived near their destination.
"It should be around here."
Alan held a map in his hand, compared it with the nearby terrain, and pointed to the distant peaks, with unconcealed excitement on his face.
As an explorer, it's an incredible honor to be part of the Royal Ingle's treasure hunt!
As soon as everyone heard that they had arrived at their destination, they all became excited, and they all gathered around and looked at the map in Allen's hand.
Qin Yang didn't rush to look at the map, but looked at the opposite peak.
It is a continuous mountain peak, the peak is not too high, but the area is so large that you can't see the end at a glance.
Naturally, the treasure can't be on the surface of the earth, so it can only be underground, so there should be some cave entrance, it's impossible for these things to be buried in the ground and then completely buried by the mountain peaks.
If that's the case, it's estimated that a person like himself can't do anything else except carve XX on the mountain stone to visit here.
Alan looked at the map for a long time and pointed to a canyon under the peak: "If the map is not wrong, the entrance to the treasure should be at the end of that canyon." ”
Connie asked excitedly, "So, the treasure is under this mountain?" ”
Alan shook the map in his hand: "If there is really a treasure, it must be hidden under the mountain, and the hole of the treasure should be very secret, it is not marked on the map, we can only look for it in the canyon." ”
"Let's go, let's go, I can't wait to find out what's there."
The group searched their way down the hillside and into the canyon.
The canyon has a river six or seven meters wide, and the banks of the river bed are paved with pebbles, and everyone follows the pebbles all the way to the upper reaches of the river, that is, the end of the canyon.
After walking about two kilometers, the canyon narrowed, the cliffs on both sides became steeper, and the original cobblestone road was gone.
Alan and the two discussed the map, then turned to everyone and said, "According to the location marked on the map, it should still be about a kilometer ahead, and we must take a boat to get up." ”
Colonel Harry waved his hand at the soldier and said, "Find materials and make a boat." ”
A group of soldiers quickly got busy, Connie and the others sat on the river beach to rest, and not long after, the soldiers found a bamboo forest by the river, cut a lot of bamboo, and made three bamboo rafts.
After lunch, after everyone rested for a while, the eighteen people were divided into three groups and took three bamboo rafts to swim upstream.
After about a kilometer forward, Qin Yang's gaze suddenly stopped, staring at the cliff on the left, about twenty or thirty meters away from the water surface, there were traces of a large rock collapse, and in the middle of this collapsed cliff, there was a big black hole.
All three rafts stopped, and everyone saw the black hole in the cliff.
Connie excitedly pointed to the cave and shouted, "There's a cave here, could this be the entrance to the treasure we're looking for?" ”
Alan took the map and compared it; "If it is shown on the map, it should indeed be here, but if this is the entrance, is it too simple?"
Professor Conseil looked around carefully, pointed to the top of the cave and said in a deep voice: "This cliff has collapsed, and it should be the last few decades, could it be that the cliff collapsed and caused the entrance to collapse, and then directly leaked out of the cave?" ”
Colonel Harry said in a deep voice: "If you have gone up and seen it, you will know, Bagel, you can go up and have a look with a rope throwing gun!" ”
A burly soldier answered cleanly, quickly took out the rope throwing gun from his backpack, and when he was ready, aimed at a tree on the cliff, and pulled the trigger.
After securing the back rope, Bagel climbed up quickly, and then swung to the entrance of the large hole with the power of the reverberation.
Bagel took out a powerful flashlight, shone it into the cave, picked up another stone and threw it down, and then turned around and reported: "Colonel, the cave is very large, I lost a stone, it is so deep that you can't see the head. ”
When everyone heard this, they all immediately showed a look of expectation.
Big cave!
Did everyone find the treasure so smoothly?
Harry turned his head and reported: "Your Highness, the cliff is steep and the cave is deep, let's wait for us to go in and check, for the sake of safety, you can wait outside first." ”
Connie's eyes were eager to try, and she shook her head and refused: "Let's go in together, it's just a cave, aren't we well-equipped anyway, since we're here to explore, what's the point of always hiding in a safe place?" ”
Harry saw Connie's insistence, so he nodded: "Okay, let's go in together, let my people go in front, you follow behind, if there is any danger, you will return the same way as soon as possible." ”
"Alright, Colonel, we'll follow your arrangement!"
Bagger, the first soldier to go up, took a few steps into the hole, found a huge rock, secured a soft rope ladder, and threw it down.
Harry left the two soldiers who had been wounded to look after the raft and the response outside, and he led the group up the rope ladder to the entrance to the big black hole.
Qin Yang took care of Han Qingqing and climbed all the way up, and when he was about to climb to the entrance of the cave, Qin Yang's eyes inadvertently swept over the rock wall, but suddenly found that there were several scratches on a sloping rock wall.
The scratch is thin at the front, thick in the middle, and thin at the end and slightly adducted at the end, which seems to be the claw marks of some kind of feline.
Qin Yang's eyes swept over other places, but he didn't find any similar claw marks, and this claw mark didn't look very fresh anymore, it looked like it should have been around for a while.
Qin Yang retracted his gaze and continued to go up, quickly climbing to the entrance of the big cave.
The soldiers in front of them had already put on their headlamps, turned on the expedition lights and powerful flashlights, and the surroundings suddenly became brighter.
The entrance to the cave was five or six meters wide, but when everyone entered, they found that it was even more spacious, and the roof of the cave was very high, at least twenty or thirty meters high, and the light of the powerful flashlight shone into the distance, but it disappeared into the black and oppressive air, and there was no end in sight.
The belly of the mountain is hollow, the cave is long, and I don't know where the road under my feet leads......
