243. Lost treasure

Everyone hurriedly came to the two of them, and at the same time saw the incomparably spectacular scene in front of them.

In front of them was a large crater, which had been a dock before, but by this time the water had dried up, leaving only the riverbed where traces could be faintly seen, and a ship that had run aground.

The hull of the ship was so ruined that only the shape of the hull could be faintly discerned, the whole structure of the ship had fallen apart, and the sails and poles had fallen to the side.

And the most surprising thing is the glittering mountain of gold around the wrecked ship, who would have stared at a broken ship for so long if it weren't for them.

Chen Xiao was also stunned by the scene in front of him, his first reaction was that he had fallen into an illusion, which might be a kind of illusion, but after he tried many ways to escape from the illusion, he realized that this was not an illusion, but a real one.

Yu Meng can understand this even more, as a person with an ability who is extremely familiar with illusions, she can see at a glance that this is not an illusion, but a real one.

But she wondered why there was a shipwreck here, and where did the gold come from?

"You stay here for a while, and I'll go down and have a look."

Chen Xiaofei went down to the pit, used his floating ability and slowly came to the side of the broken ship, picked up a piece of gold and observed.

This is ordinary gold, but the purity is purer than that on the market, Chen Xiao didn't bite it with his teeth, he could feel it, this is genuine 100% pure gold.

And the mountain of gold, which was almost past the surface of the ship in front of him, made him wonder, since there were so many treasures here, why didn't those tomb robbers ransack this place?

And looking at the thief cave seems to have been fought from the outside in, it means that they came here consciously, they already knew that there was a bunch of treasures here, but why didn't they take anything?

Before Chen Xiao could figure out this, the people standing above had already descended the slope next to him to the point of the big pit, and slowly came to the vicinity of the broken ship, and Chen Xiao also slowly leaned over from the air.

Chiba seemed to be very interested in the gold, and when he came to the broken ship, he immediately threw himself into the gold mountain and danced with his hands.

"Ten thousand flowers! We're rich! So much gold, we won't be able to spend it in a few lifetimes! ”

Chen Xiao had already heard that Chiba and Wanhua were pirates before, and had followed the Blue Crow's fleet for a while, and it was forgivable to see the treasure become like this, but he didn't expect her to react so strongly.

"Chiba! Calm down, our task now is to find a way out, not to think about getting rich! ”

Wanhua wanted to pull Chiba out of the gold, but it was obviously a little difficult, so she had to smile awkwardly at Chen Xiao and said softly.

"Excuse me? My friend is a bit of a money junkie, so you don't have to worry about us for now, and we'll come back to you when we find the exit! ”

"Okay, so you want to be safe? It's a little weird here..."

Chiba Karen remained at the bottom of the broken ship, while the others began to scatter, looking for an exit in the vicinity.

Chen Xiao was not in a hurry to leave the ship, he always felt that there was something wrong with the ship, but he couldn't say that there was a problem?

In desperation, he had no choice but to fly onto the deck to see if there were any clues on it.

But unexpectedly, as soon as he got on the boat, he saw a dried corpse in the cabin, and even clothes were still on it, but the whole body had turned into white bones and was lying next to the door.

"This is the corpse of the crew? It's been air-dried like this, so it's probably been dead for a long time, right? ”

Chen Xiao slowly came to the corpse and flipped through his clothes to see if he could find any useful clues.

It must have been his luck, and among the corpse's clothes, he found a half-left name tag with some indecipherable letters written on it, and he didn't know what it meant, but it was a clue.

Chen Xiao put the name tag in his pocket, walked around the corpse and walked towards the cabin.

It was dark in the cabin, and with the light of the lighter, he could vaguely see inside.

There were several rooms inside, but the wooden walls and doors were blistered, and it looked like it was a shipwreck, or a ship that had been in the water.

There were only a few simple beds and a few desks in the room, but in the innermost room, Chen Xiao found a locked box, for some reason, the box was not rusty, but Chen Xiao didn't care too much, picked it up and observed it carefully.

On the surface, the box is an ordinary wooden box, but it can be seen that there is a mechanism inside, and if it is forcibly opened, it may destroy the contents inside.

There was no way, Chen Xiao had no choice but to sit down and think of a way to open it.

"This box has three locks, and the locks are connected, and if you want to open them all, you may have to open them one by one."

Chen Xiao shook his head and put the box in his pocket behind him.

"Forget it, let's study it when it's safe to get out, after all, the main task now is to get out of here!"

Leaving the cabin and coming to the deck, Chiba and Wanhua were still picking up gold at the bottom of the ship, Xiaoxi Xiaoying and the two were searching on the right side of the boat, Yu Meng and Medusa were on the left, but they didn't seem to have made much progress, even Chen Xiao was a little suspicious, is this a dead end?

"Time is running out, if we can't find the exit, we have to go back, or we will be discovered by the guards!"

Chen Xiao also flew off the boat, using his fast movement speed to look for clues in this big pit.

At this moment, he seemed to find a cloud of blood on the ground, which he really couldn't find if he didn't look closely, this blood stain was deeply soaked in the dirt, and because it was still too dark here, it was not easy to find.

Chen Xiao slowly landed on the ground, squatted on the ground and twisted some dirt and smelled it.

Although he doesn't have a keen sense of smell like Xiao Hei, he has the blood of the Corpse King, so he can trace the owner of this bloodstain based on the smell of blood.

"Come with me, everybody!"

Chen Xiao shouted, and flew into the distance.

When the others heard the voice, they all hurriedly followed Chen Xiao and rushed there, and even Qianye was forcibly dragged away from the bottom of the boat by Wanhua and ran towards Chen Xiao.

When everyone came behind Chen Xiao, he was standing still in place, as if he had seen something.

Yu Meng was the first to come up and asked Chen Xiao.

"What's wrong?"

Chen Xiao didn't speak, but kept his eyes staring ahead.

Yu Meng saw that Chen Xiao didn't pay attention to her, so he also looked ahead, but this time it was her turn to keep her eyes on it.

"What's wrong with them? Is there a mechanism in front of you? Nothing will happen, will it? Chiba asked softly.

Among the remaining people, Medusa is the person with the strongest overall strength, and seeing such a situation, it is also her turn to preside over the overall situation.

But just when she wanted to step forward to see the situation, Chen Xiao and Yu Meng actually jumped from the front without a hint of warning.

"Daddy!"

Xiaoxi and Xiaoying spoke almost at the same time, and ran forward together, while the others also hurriedly ran over when they saw this.

However, when they saw the scene in front of them, they were also stunned for a moment.

This is different from the shock of the previous golden mountain, this time it is a visual shock.

In front of them, there was another big pit, and there was a city built in it, but it was not a modern city, but an ancient ruin full of ancient atmosphere.

Where had they ever seen such a spectacle, a city full of buildings they had never seen before, and a sense of mystery everywhere.

And the most terrifying thing is that in the center of this city, there is a stone tablet, although they can't understand the words on it, but around this stone tablet, there are already corpses and bones, the scene is so spectacular that it is enough to make them stunned.

Even though it had been half a year since the end of the world, they had seen a lot of corpses, but seeing such a magnificent group of corpses and bones still made them a little unacceptable.

This is not something that seems to have been done before the end of the world, most of the corpses have been reduced to bones, which means that these people may have died here a long time ago, but why?

Chen Xiao also wanted to know this question, and at this time he had already come to this stone tablet, followed by Yu Meng.
