It's dawn.

In the valley in the early morning, the birds get up early, fly up and down around the dammed lake, and occasionally fall down to feed, and when they are happy, they will raise their heads and sing a song.

The lake was as calm as ever, as if nothing had happened.

Chen Yaodong and Ye Haiyang climbed onto the platform, looking back, they could just take in the valley, the lake was very quiet at the moment, and not a single cannibal could see it.

The houses that were originally photographed were all burned down at this time, with ruins and broken walls, and black beams still emitting green smoke.

The back of the house was smoked black, even the spirit totem of the cannibals was not spared, a fire almost destroyed the foundation of this civilization, it is very difficult to build a house under extremely backward conditions, especially the cannibal house, not only requires a lot of wood, the construction difficulty is also huge, it is their consumption of several years, even decades of hard work.

Just because of Chen Yaodong's fire, everything was burned to ashes.

Some of the old and frail women were sobbing quietly on the sidelines, and more were rummaging through the embers in a daze for things and food that could be used.

The houses in the valley were destroyed, and they either camped in the mountains and built them slowly, or they went to live in the dilapidated old houses outside the valley, or they went out of the mountains to the sea.

But either way they are willing to face it.

Chen Yaodong took a deep breath and turned around, his mood was a little complicated, but that was all.

The two of them walked forward for dozens of meters and came to a stone crevice, a square altar appeared in front of the two of them, the center of the altar was a pit, the pit was full of white bones, these bones had grown moss after being soaked in water for a long time, and some insect larvae were drilling in the moss, judging from the shape of the bones, there were not only humans, but also many animal bones.

It was surrounded by human-tall weeds, and it seemed that no one had been here for a long time.

The crack is more than a meter wide, and the cliff at the entrance is painted with all kinds of sudden, long-term wind and rain that it is no longer clear to see the original appearance.

Chen Yaodong folded his hands and bowed, drew a cross on his chest, and still had words in his mouth, and those who didn't know thought he was a devout believer.

"I don't think you believe this?" Ye Haiyang said with a smile.

"I don't believe it, but it never hurts to say goodbye."

Ye Haiyang didn't believe in this, so naturally he was not interested in worshipping.

In order to ensure safety, the two of them also made a few torches out of hay and branches, the gap is a naturally formed fault zone, from top to bottom as if the mountain has been cut, twists and turns are deep, only two or three meters can be seen by eye, and there are many white bones scattered on the ground at the entrance.

Standing at the entrance Ye Haiyang was a little hesitant.

"What, scared?" Chen Yaodong asked.

"No, I'm wondering what if we go in and kill the cannibals? Will we be stuck inside? Ye Haiyang said this, but in fact, he was really scared.

He also wants treasures, but they are not so strong, these are ill-gotten gains, and it is a question of whether they can be taken away when the time comes.

"So what?"

"Yes, it's better to stay outside, and when you hear the gunshots, come out quickly."

Ye Haiyang was originally well-intentioned, for their safety, but Chen Yaodong became suspicious, it was possible for the cannibals to block the entrance of the cave and trap them inside, wouldn't Ye Haiyang be?

The person Chen Yaodong was most unhappy with before was Ye Haiyang, the two of them have been grudges for a long time, and it is not impossible to kill the killer.

Cannibals must be on guard, and Ye Haiyang must be even more vigilant, even if he dies, he must take Ye Haiyang to be buried with him.

"Let's go, this is the Pirate King's treasure, the number is scary, there is nothing to hesitate about." Chen Yaodong couldn't help but push Ye Haiyang in.

Walking into the crack and walking out less than a few meters away, nothing could be seen, the two of them lit torches, Ye Haiyang walked in front, and there were more and more white bones on the ground, all of which were human without exception.

But the bones were all scattered, and none of them were intact.

The two of them walked forward for dozens of meters, and their eyes suddenly opened up, and Chen Yaodong's flashlight flickered and the thing opposite immediately reflected a bright light, and they were stunned when they saw the thing in front of them.

It was a huge crystal cluster more than two meters high, transparent throughout, dozens of long prismatic crystal clusters crowded together, like a crystal flower growing out of stone, and the largest crystal cluster was at least as thick as a bowl.

With the movement of Chen Yaodong's flashlight, another crystal cluster appeared in front of the two of them, it was a blue crystal, not as tall as a transparent crystal, but very neat, and the crystal clusters were neatly arranged together.

The two people raised their torches, and this time they found that the place that appeared in front of them was a small cave, and the whole cave was full of natural crystals, and they showed a variety of colors, including green crystals like early spring shoots, blue crystals like the sea, and red crystals like blood, not only the caves were full of crystals, but even countless crystal clusters were hung upside down above their heads, as if they had come to a crystal museum.

The crystals shimmered in the light and shone so brightly that they could never be removed at a glance.

Beautiful, so beautiful.

The magical picture in the fairy tale appeared in front of the two of them without warning, and completely attracted them.

Crystals, like other gemstones, need to be formed under special geographical conditions of high temperature and pressure, and are generally buried deep in the ground, and only the movement of the earth's crust can lift them to a position where they can be mined.

The crystals on Elysium Island don't know how old they are, maybe this island rises from the bottom of the sea, and human beings can only look at it, and they can't do anything but sigh.

Chen Yaodong thought that he was dreaming, he felt that it was fake, walked over tremblingly, trembled and stretched out his hand, as if he was touching the holy grail that he had never touched, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and the fingertips touched the crystal, and the cold and smooth touch soberly told him that this was not a dream, all of this was true.

It's not Elysium, it's paradise, and maybe heaven isn't so magnificent.

The value of these crystals alone cannot be described in words.

"Really...... Really, it's true. Chen Yaodong was so excited that he was about to cry.

Even Ye Haiyang, who doesn't love money, was deeply shocked by this scene, in front of him was a large row of beige crystal clusters, the yellow was so clean, the transparent crystal outside wrapped the citrine in the middle, the touch of the hexagonal crystal was so direct and thorough, they were only a few centimeters high, and they formed a small forest of crystals around them, and Ye Haiyang, who loved the mountains, couldn't wait to dig them up and take them home immediately.

"Click!"

Ye Haiyang suddenly stepped on something, looked down and found that it was a white bone, all the white bones were spread on the ground, the clothes on his body were not completely rotten, and there was a Mauser 1889 rifle scattered around him, the wood part had corroded and turned into powder with a light touch, and the barrel was covered with rust, and some places were rusty.

Looking around, there were similar corpses all over the ground, almost all over the crystal cave, and some white bones were still scattered in the crystal, at least more than a platoon of people died here.

"They're pirates, look at this." Chen Yaodong picked up an Enfield rifle, pointed to the inscription on the gun and said: "This gun was cast in 1903, this period was also the most rampant period of piracy, when many countries were their own privateers, such as Britain, the Netherlands, Portugal, etc., it seems that we have come to the right place, I don't know why they all died here." ”

"Shot." Ye Haiyang picked up a broken crystal from the ground, and there was still a warhead embedded in this crystal.

"Yes, if I were the Pirate King and I hid the treasure here, then I would never allow anyone to know this secret, and I would kill all those who knew it for the sake of secrecy."

Chen Yaodong raised his flashlight and shone it deeper into the cave, trampling the pirate's corpse and walking in.

After passing through the crystal cave, another natural cave appeared in front of the two of them, and before they could see the situation inside, they heard the sound of gurgling water.

Chen Yaodong touched something, took a closer look and found that it was a round stone basin, and there were some translucent liquids in the basin, and when he got closer, he immediately smelled the unique smell of oil, and Chen Yaodong stretched the torch into the brazier.

"Whew!"

A flame rose from the brazier and continued to burn along a small furrow a few feet wide on the edge of the brazier, spreading at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Less than ten meters away, another brazier was ignited, and the flames became more and more vigorous, and more and more braziers were ignited.

When all the braziers were lit, the two of them saw the true face of the cave, which was a huge karst cave, and several huge braziers were placed around the cave, and each brazier was connected by a canal hewn out of stone, and the canal was filled with crude oil, and if you lit one of them, all of them would be ignited.

In the middle of the cave is a huge pool, and the water drips from the stone stalactites above into the pool, and the bottom of the pool shows a dazzling gold, which is full of gold coins.

There are so many gold coins that they occupy almost the entire waterhole.

The cave was also filled with countless jewels, gold bottles, gold cups, silver coins, pearls, agate, precious stones, rolled out of the decaying chest, and scattered on the ground, the extremely beautifully carved jade Buddha, the stone humanoid coffin that kept the mummies, the two-meter-high Ashoka Pagoda where the relics were stored, and similar things were randomly piled up in the corners and covered with dust.

The most eye-catching thing is undoubtedly a three-meter-high staircase made of gold bricks directly opposite, and at the top of the staircase is a throne inlaid with countless precious stones, scattered with white bones, and a golden crown of unbelievable luxury lies in the center of the throne.
