Chapter 739: Gems

The Bato River originates in the Karamolan Mountains in the western part of Catanduanes, and with its tributaries, it covers almost two-thirds of the islands.

This river can be said to be the mother river of Catandunes, and there are many small villages and towns along the river, and more than 20,000 people depend on this river for their survival, but it is precisely because of this river that the tsunami can go up the river valley, sweeping away almost all the villages and towns along the river.

It was as if the area where the fourth hidden spot was located was originally the confluence of two rivers, and the two rivers met here, giving this area a large area of the valley plain, in which the small town of Opo, which was no less large than Barras, was located.

In a mountainous area surrounded by mountains, villages and towns of this magnitude can appear thanks to the Batow River. But in the same way, in this tsunami, the tsunami that went up the river course and rushed upwards for more than 20 kilometers, still completely destroyed this small town surrounded by mountains.

According to the coordinates, this fourth hidden place is located on a hill more than 400 meters above sea level on the north bank of the Bato River, Chris first followed Yang Jing's instructions, circled the hill twice, and then finally landed in a farmland outside the destroyed town of Opo.

The tsunami not only destroyed the town, but also completely destroyed the farmland, and at the same time the tsunami took everything that could be swept away from the mountain, leaving a large amount of rubble in the destroyed farmland, and helicopters were able to land on this terrain.

After several people got off the plane, they couldn't bear to look in the direction of the town, even though the town was less than a hundred meters away from the landing site. What do you see? It's also distressing to see it. Judging from the area of the ruins, the population of this small town built on the banks of the Bato River should be quite large, at least more than 2,000 people, but such a small town, which should have been beautiful, is already full of devastation at this time.

And just now, when the helicopter was about to land, there was not a single figure in the ruins, not even a large number of large animals such as buffaloes, which should have been quite large. Obviously, the tsunami had completely destroyed the town, taking the lives of everyone living in the town......

"Boss, shall we walk over there?" asked Chris.

Yang Jing shook his head and said, "You two come with me, Yuna, you accompany Sophia here." ”

"Why, they're all here, why don't you let me go?"

"You'd better not go there, there are situations where you can have nightmares when you see them. Yang Jing sighed, just now after he finished using the Heavenly Eye Skill, he saw that there were many corpses floating in the river below that mountain peak. Because the Bato River has made several bends here, the impact of the tsunami will weaken a lot after passing through the small town of Opo, so some of the corpses were not swept upside down by the tsunami and rushed to the upper reaches of the river, but some of the corpses were stored in this side of the river.

Not to mention this kind of situation, even Yang Jing was a little uncomfortable at a glance just now, and it is estimated that anyone who sees the hundreds of corpses densely soaked in the river water will probably feel extremely uncomfortable.

When there is a flood in some parts of southern China, it is common to see some pigsty washed away by the flood, and then some news reports will have some photos of drowned pigs, just a few dozen photos of drowned pigs can make a large number of people feel uncomfortable, let alone see hundreds of human corpses with their own eyes.

When Gege heard this, her face turned pale, but she still gritted her teeth and said, "I'm not afraid, I'm going to follow you." ”

Yang Jing looked at his fiancée, shook his head helplessly, and said with a wry smile: "If you see something bad for a while, don't cry." ”

"Cut, you're crying. Gege tightened the strap of his backpack on his shoulder, "Let's go, hurry up." ”

Yang Jing smiled and stretched out his hand, Gege grabbed the big hand and walked side by side with Yang Jing with a smile.

"Husband, is there any treasure here?" asked Yang Jing as he walked.

"Well, there's a treasure here, but there shouldn't be a lot of it. ”

"Really?" Gege excited, "how do you know there's treasure here?"

"Hehe, I guess. If you think about it, we have gone so hard to find this treasure here, and if our ship had been a little slower that day, or if we had set off a little later that morning, wouldn't it have been just in time for the tsunami? And before the tsunami came, we also found that villa to escape the tsunami, do you think we are very lucky? So, the lucky people will always have a harvest, right?"

"Cut ......," Gege rolled his eyes, "I thought you had really found something treasured." ”

Yang Jing smiled and didn't squeak.

In fact, he really didn't fool Gege just now, just now when the helicopter was hovering in the sky, he really saw a faint glow of treasure light emerging from the other side of this mountain. In this kind of deep mountains and old forests, how could there be a treasure light coming out? And in terms of the scope of this treasure light, this is obviously not a precious metal vein, and the only possibility is that the treasure buried here by the little devil back then has not been discovered.

After walking along the river for about three hundred meters, the group of five came to the foot of the hill. The course of the Bato River makes a massive bend of nearly 90 degrees at the foot of the hill and then extends north again. Also, because of this big bend, the river here is very wide and the water flow is much slower.

In this wide stretch of the river, there were hundreds of corpses floating at this time, most of them had been stranded on the river beach, but some were still soaking in the water.

People have come here, and it is inevitable that they will see these corpses. Coupled with the foul smell wafting over, Gege just glanced at it, turned his head and vomited, even Valentina's face was a little unsightly.

Yang Jing helplessly patted his fiancée's back, and said while patting: "I said I won't let you come over, you have to come and suffer this kind of crime." ”

After retching twice, Gege barely stood up straight, and said with a pale face: "Let's get out of here quickly, I don't want to stay here at all." ”

In order to take care of Gege, Yang Jing had to change his route, originally planning to go around along the river to the other side of this hill, but now it seems that he can only climb over this hill.

Fortunately, the mountain was not very high, and the tsunami had washed away all the vegetation under the mountainside, so it took the group about half an hour to climb over the mountain, and then found some rotten wooden planks on the other side of the hill, about 200 meters from the top of the mountain, in a slightly flat place......

The rotting planks obviously didn't come from the outside, so Chris quickly ran over, pulled it twice with his hand, and cried out in surprise: "Boss, there's a treasure here!"

Hearing Chris's words, Gege put down Yang Jing's arm in surprise, trotted over, squatted beside Chris, and did not dislike the dirt of the soil, stretched out two hands and began to pull the soil like Chris, and in just a few clicks, several crystal rubies were revealed.

"Yang Jing, take a look, I dug up the ruby...... Gege looked up excitedly, and Chris on the side was also excited.

There's nothing more exciting than digging up a treasure with your own hands.

Bruce and Valentina were also eager to try, Yang Jing nodded with a smile, and the two of them cheered, and also pounced and dug up.

They were so excited, they all had sapper shovels on them, but no one used them, maybe they were more excited by digging out the treasure by hand.

There were two wooden boxes in total, but unfortunately, the planks of these boxes had long since decayed. These two boxes were obviously buried by the little devils back then, and the depth of the burial should not be very deep, but if it wasn't for the tsunami, even if it was buried shallowly, it would be difficult to be found because of the vegetation on it.

The tsunami not only destroyed all the villages and towns along the river, but also swept away all the vegetation on the hillsides on both sides of the river below a certain height. The two boxes were buried not high above the river, and the tsunami swept away the vegetation and washed away more than half of the soil on the ground, which caused the two boxes to be exposed to the ground.

Several people pulled the dirt on it apart with both hands, revealing the treasure mixed with dirt. These two chests are full of precious stones, rubies, sapphires, jadeites, diamonds, emeralds, opals, ......

These gemstones, of all sizes and sizes, come together and even though they have been buried in the soil for more than 70 years, they still shine with a fascinating light once they have been excavated from the soil.

"Yang Jing, are we amazing?" Gege stood up with a smile and asked while clapping his hands.

Yang Jing smiled and gave them a thumbs up, and then said with a smile: "You guys are really, don't dig with your hands, you don't need to dig with sapper shovels, you have to dig with your hands, don't your hands hurt?"

The four people, including Gege, shook their heads in unison, obviously, in front of these precious gems, let alone digging with their hands, even if they were to use their heads to arch, it was estimated that they would be willing.

More than half of the chest was buried underneath, revealing only a small part, so if you wanted to dig it all out, you would have to have to shovel it with sappers.

Fortunately, the soil is very soft, and although the wood of the wooden box is rotten, it can still ensure that the gems inside the box are not exposed.

Chris and Bruce became the main force of the excavation, and with the strength of both of them, it didn't take twenty minutes for the two wooden boxes, which were about half a meter long, wide and high, to be completely exposed, and they were full of all kinds of gems.
