Chapter 360: Enter the Ruins

In the early morning of the next day, when the dense fog had just been dispelled by the rising sun, Li Mu and Shuang'er arrived at their intended destination, the Yucatan Peninsula.

Shuang'er took the chart and compared it, "Well, this is it, according to the marks on the map, the treasure is buried fifty miles away." From here is the shortest route. ”

"Well, in that case, let's land from here." Li Mu nodded, and then activated the Captain's Star, and included the White Bone Ghost Ship into the Captain's Star's own different space.

Although the New World has been discovered for a long time, the reclamation of this land is still very insignificant, and the Americas at this time still maintain a very primitive style, with a large number of primeval forests covering the continent, and dense tropical rainforests densely distributed throughout the Pan-Caribbean region.

The rainforest is known as the lungs of the earth, the paradise of living things, and it looks really spectacular and beautiful from a distance, but when one really goes deep into it, you will find that the rainforest is actually full of dangers.

When you step into a shallow puddle of water, you may be attacked by leeches inhabiting the trousers, when you step on a rotten dead branch, you may be alarmed by poisonous snakes hiding underneath, when you push away the branches that stand in the way, you may be attacked by poisonous insects lurking nearby, when you come to the river, you may be attacked by crocodiles or piranhas, and even if you stay quietly under the tree, a black widow may land on your head......

In short, this is a dangerous place, and people should always be careful of their surroundings, which are full of dangers. Even the most prepared modern explorer can fall forever in the rainforest if one small mistake is made. So, it's good to look at some things from a distance, and there's no need to go deep into them.

However, Li Mu himself had no intention of entering this dense forest. Although those poisonous insects can't even bite his skin, it's disgusting to have a few bugs crawling on his body.

Fortunately, Li Mu now has wings, and he can take Shuang'er directly over the dense rainforest and directly into the burial place of the treasure.

"Ah, from above, the rainforest down there is so beautiful." Shuang'er looked at the endless rainforest below, and admired it sincerely.

"Do you want to go down and have a look?" Li Mu said jokingly.

"Don't, there are too many bugs down there, I'm not afraid but I'm too annoying." Shuang'er shook her head decisively. For most girls, bugs and everything are a natural nemesis.

"See, that's it," Shuang'er said suddenly, pointing into the distance.

Li Mu looked in the direction of his fingers, and in the depths of the dense rainforest, a huge city appeared in front of them.

Li Mu and Shuang'er slowly fell to the edge of the city.

It is a city made of huge stones, but it is now in ruins, and although I don't know how many years have passed, the wooden roofs of the original houses have rotted and collapsed, and all kinds of vines and weeds have grown along the cracks between the rocks.

The streets are wide, and the houses on both sides are made of rock, which is still a bit rare in the depths of the rainforest, and the last thing that is lacking here is trees, and stone is a relatively rare resource.

"Where is the treasure buried? Are there any obvious signs? Li Mu looked at the city in front of him, if he asked him to open this city and find it, it would be a little too difficult.

"Well, there's no clear sign on the map, but there's a Quetzalcoatl sign in the center." Shuang'er said, pointing to the map.

"Quetzalcoatl?" Li Mu thought for a moment and suddenly slapped his face, "I probably know where it is." ”

Li Mu used to like to read these books about ancient ruins, mysterious civilizations, and magical phenomena, and he remembered that an archaeological team found a huge gold tower in the Mayan ruins, which was different from the spired pyramids in Egypt, they were flat-topped, and there were steps around them, and at the top of the pyramid was a vacant field, and a small temple.

The open space was used for the Holy Sphere ceremony. The Mayan ritual was a bit like rugby today, except that they were not allowed to touch the ball with their hands and feet, only their knees, elbows, calves, etc. Hit the ball into a ring embedded in the wall to win.

The two teams of the Orb Ritual are made up of the bravest warriors selected from the tribe, and the victor receives all the possessions of the losing side, including wives and children, while the losing side pays for their lives to sacrifice to the gods.

Of course, none of this is important, the most important thing is that on the steps of the front of the pyramid, there is an engraved serpent god covered with feathers, they are called Quetzalcoatl, the Mayan god of harvest.

"Maybe right in the middle of the city, where we're targeting." Li Mu pointed to the largest pyramid in the center of the city and said.

In most cities in classical times, the center of the city was basically a temple, and the official residences of the consuls, the council chambers, and so on were next to the temples. Most of the cities were built around temples. This phenomenon can still be felt in small towns in Europe.

"Then let's hurry over, there's always an uncomfortable feeling here." Shuang'er said.

"Huh? What does it feel like? What's wrong? Li Mu asked.

"Well, there's a feeling of being watched, as if someone is watching in the shadows all along." Shuang'er said.

"Oh, do you want to go back first?" Li Mu asked with concern. Compared with digging for treasures, he pays more attention to the feelings of the people around him.

"It's okay, it's just a little uncomfortable, nothing else," Shuang'er shook his head, "It's just a little uncomfortable, it's not in the way." ”

Shuang'er's mind was all on Li Mu's body, she would never let Li Mu give up the treasure that was about to arrive because of her own reasons, this is not Shuang'er's style. How can you let the treasure that is about to arrive sneak away like this? Shuang'er is a person who can live.

"Is that so?" Li Mu glanced at Shuang'er to confirm that the other party was indeed okay before continuing, "Then let's go over, get the things early and leave early." It's not surprising that anything strange is produced in this kind of ruins. In addition, if there is," Li Mu said, he walked towards the huge pyramid in the center of the city.

"yes, got it." Shuang'er tightened his coat, then grabbed his saber and followed Li Mu towards the center of the ruins.
