"In the Arctic Circle, there is a fish called icefish, which is produced very little and is very difficult to catch. It is generally found in shallow waters near the ocean in the Arctic Circle. Eskimos eat these fish as soon as they catch them, because they struggle to lose most of their fat and spoil their taste due to the accumulation of large amounts of oxide. And once it is killed for more than two hours, the meat becomes unpalatable. No matter how cold the temperature is, it will stay fresh for up to 4 hours. So very few people out there can eat this kind of ice fish.

"Until the advent of vacuum freezing technology.

"Vacuum freezing solves this problem by wrapping live icefish in vacuum-packed tin and freezing them at ultra-low temperatures provided by liquid nitrogen. This way the fish will not die immediately, but there will be no way to move its body a little. The fishermen sell this fish to us, and we sell it all over the world. You only need to be careful when thawing to achieve more than 95% freshness. That's the benefit of technology. ”

Arctic development requires investment, and in order to get more funding from the board, Tony Tang, the Arctic team leader of Canadian Sea Fisheries, had to put the rare icefish into the development project. One kilogram of frozen icefish can be sold for thousands of dollars, and if one ton of icefish can be produced every day, the profit for a year is very huge. And for Don, what he wants more is the legendary treasure. More than one Eskimo has found diamonds and gold coins in the vicinity. It looks like something ancient, and the Eskimos must have found it because there was a shipwreck or something nearby. After two years of private exploration, Tang discovered that these things were all around a large icefish producing area, and he applied for funds to develop icefish resources, a small part of which was to better explore the exact location of the wreck. Now a medieval Nord gold coin sells for $24,000 in the hands of a collector, and if he can find a box, nay, even if it is only a hundred, he will be a very wealthy man. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Heaven is from the wishes of people. Don's plan was approved less than a month after it was handed over to the board, and there was enough money for Don to have at his disposal. But Don didn't dare to blatantly embezzle the money to the bottom of the sea, and if he did, the board would surely remove him from his position, find out all his secrets, and take the gold coins that should have belonged to him for himself. Don wouldn't be so stupid. He just did his job step by step, and then used his position to check the sonar data of all the fishing grounds to find the information he wanted. Luckily, he didn't find anything, so he had to use the best of the best way to do it himself.

Then he discovered the big cave.

This cave is not on the bottom of the sea, but on land. At the end of the Rocky Mountain veins to the sea, there is a deep hole in the ground, from time to time white gas rushes out, the locals call it the Death Cave, few people dare to approach it, if someone accidentally walks around there, they will never come back. But when Don reached the entrance of the cave, he turned back safely, and had an extra Nord gold coin in his hand, which was the kind he wanted most.

"Since the locals are all scared of death, I'll get all the gold back myself. Tang didn't even think about why he would go so smoothly, as if someone had arranged it. Maybe he thought about it, but he was tempted by money. A gold coin costs just over $20,000, which is only enough to buy a very small house, and if you walk in a little more, you may have more money, including a yacht, a luxury villa, and even a fishing company of your own...... About before everyone failed, all they saw was the wink of the goddess of victory, but few of them thought that the other party was a goddess, how could it be easy for mortals to succeed?

Even so, Don did a lot of preparation. On the one hand, I took a long vacation from the company because my work was going well, and on the other hand, I bought a lot of useful things through American traders. Including military field uniforms, knee pads and elbow pads, underwater flashlights and filtered drinking water nozzles, large bags of dry food, etc. There was also a .45 military pistol. Although the model is a bit old and the reload is not very large, its lethality and reliability still make Don very satisfied. After being reloaded with special bullets, the steel plates that were thinner at close range were pierced with a single shot.

"It's a lot more reassuring now. Don thrust the gun into the holster on his waist, touched the magazines on both sides of his waist, and suddenly had the courage to dare to confront everyone. There is also a multi-functional knife and an ice hoe, and two hundred meters of lightweight nylon rope on your back, and the equipment is complete.

Afterwards, many people said, "If it were me, I would wear an extra gas mask and chemical suit, so that I would not be afraid of the white gas." But most of it was only hindsight, and few people said it before they knew he was being gassed. And Tang didn't know that the white gas was not as simple as water vapor.

Don initially walked cautiously along the cave wall on the right to the depths, not letting go of every place where the missing gold coins might be hidden. He was amazed to find that there were still some white mushrooms popping up in the cracks of the rocks in the place where there was no sunlight. According to his common sense of biology, mushrooms can't photosynthesize – in fact, there's no light here – so they must grow where they can absorb nutrients directly, mostly in trees or grass, while mushrooms that grow on rocks are rare. Out of curiosity, he took a small sample, tore off a notebook of paper, wrapped it and placed it on his body.

Tang walked for about two hours to the depths of the cave before advancing about 300 meters. Because he checked the ground too carefully. The light at the hole behind him was no longer visible, and the front was also dark, and the temporary headlamps were much darker, probably out of power, and the spare batteries didn't know how long they would last. Don kind of wanted to retreat. While stopping to rest in a clearing with not too many stones, Don checked his gear again, and had a bite to eat by the way. He thought of many possibilities in his heart, maybe there was no road after walking a short distance ahead, maybe this hole could lead all the way to an undersea basin in the South Pacific, maybe it collapsed halfway through the hole, maybe the gold coin fell when someone else passed by the hole, maybe the place where the gold coin was buried was too far away, and he couldn't walk for the rest of his life......

Fortunately, or unfortunately, his headlights went out while throwing food and drink packages. After groping in the dark for a new battery, Don's eyes lit up and he saw a rag. For me, I'm glad he saw the rag, otherwise the story would have ended.

Don looked at the cloth for a long time, and at last he was convinced that it was not an industrial product, but a hand-woven homespun cloth. Judging from the pattern, it seems to be an ancient pattern from the Middle East, and the traces of pigment oxidation on it are very heavy, indicating that someone came in a long time ago. Who had come in, and who had dropped the gold coin at the entrance of the cave? It didn't matter anymore, the important thing was that Don no longer had any worries and continued to walk further along the right. It was not so much a small piece of rag that inspired his fighting spirit, but rather that he had eaten enough and became bold again. He looked more closely at everything around him, hoping to find more. But after walking 500 meters, I found that there was no road ahead, and there was no trace of any human beings.

Fate waved at Tony Don again, and just as he was deciding to go back, something landed at his feet with a crisp sound. Tang was startled by this sudden thing, drew his pistol, bowed back two steps, and pointed the tactical flashlight on the body of the gun at the thing, and in the white aperture, a Nord gold coin quietly flashed brightly.

Sure enough, it was this thing, and Tang hurriedly rushed over and took the gold coin in his hand. The heavy texture stimulated Don's desire, and he hurriedly looked up, and in the light of the headlamp, he saw a large gap hanging from the top of the cave. The gap hung silently half a meter above the head, reachable but unfathomable. And it can be clearly seen that there are traces of artificial axes and chisels on the clammy and cold rocks. He became more and more sure that he had found a treasure, whose treasure belonged to him, why it was hidden here, and what was in the treasure, Tang didn't know anything, but at least he was sure that there were gold coins here. The story of "Tom Sawyer" has been tumbling in Don's mind, and he almost thinks of himself as a nimble little Tom, and Don jumps up to the hole with all his might, gripping the edge with both hands, and after using gold as a power to stimulate his considerable potential, he flips over. The hole was not high, Tang could only lower his head in it, and half-bent over, and after walking forward for about 50 meters, his eyes suddenly opened up, it was a mountain belly space with a diameter of about 30 meters, and a beam of sunlight shining directly on the top of his head. Then, he was stunned.

Gold coins in one place.

At least 200 gold coins from all eras were scattered on the ground, with Nord gold coins being the most, reaching into the depths of the faintly reddish passage. Tang turned off the headlamp and the tactical flashlight on the gun, and looked towards the passage, under the support of the brick arch structure, the small stone road paved with bluestone slabs connected to the place where the red light was shining in the dark, and a pair of vicious stone carved faces on the left and right of the entrance startled Tang Yiyi, but it was a kind of greed in the depths of his soul that made him walk towards the light.

The closer you get to the passage, the more you can feel a mysterious call, like a sigh, like a pleading, like a cry, like a scream. When Don was so frightened that he stopped and listened attentively, he couldn't hear anything, the only sound was his breathing. Further on, the sound of breathing changed to sighs, pleadings, cries, and screams. Don wanted to turn and run away, but fear prevented him from climbing the dark cave again, and the flickering red light called him deeper into the passage step by step.

When Tony Tang walked to the end of the passage in a daze, the red light disappeared all at once, and there was darkness around him, and he was so frightened that he immediately turned on his headlamp, and under the yellow light, a stone door stood in front of him. Don pushed with his hand, and the door did not move at all, but a circular depression in the door attracted his attention, which was identical in shape and size to a Nord gold coin. It was only in the center of this circular depression that there was a very small granular protrusion, and Don took out the three gold coins he had picked up, and tried to put one on it, but because of the small particles, it was not flat, and the second and third coins were the same. When Don wanted to go back to the top of the mountain to look for other Nord gold coins to try, he found that a white mist began to fill the road when he came, and this white mist seemed to have an ominous premonition. Just as Tang hesitated to walk back, a gold coin in his hand fell, rolling into the white mist with the soft light of the headlamp, and in just a moment, the gold coin was dissolved by the fog. First, the pattern and text on the coin became blurred, and then the entire coin turned into a golden speck that dissipated into the fog.

Don didn't think he would be more resistant to corrosion than gold coins. He slammed the stone door in a hurry, trying to get out of the passage before the white mist drifted over, but the door still didn't respond.

Ten minutes later, Don resigned himself to giving up, and he sat down. In fact, he couldn't give up if he didn't want to, because he didn't have the strength to toss anymore, and there were still blood stains left by smashing the door with all his strength on the stone door. After all, he Tony Tang is made of meat, how can he compete with stones? Don looked back at the slowly drifting fog, it was probably only a dozen meters away from him, and it was still slowly approaching, and the feeling of death approaching made Don feel a trace of remorse. He took the pistol out of the holster and angrily struck at the stone door. All seven bullets were used up in 4 seconds, and the bullets bounced off the door and bounced around the passageway, one of which almost hit his left leg, but luckily only hit the Nord coin at his feet.

Don picked up the gold coin, and the gold was so soft that even a ricocheting could make a small hole when it was bounced. Although this thing is valuable in the outside world, does he still have the life to enjoy it?Tony raised the gold coin, trying to throw it into the fog to dissolve it, but when he was about to get rid of it, he had a flash of inspiration in his heart and held the gold coin tightly in his hand. The small crater made by the bullet? Did it match the particle? Don stood up tremblingly, and pressed the gold coin in his hand against the circular depression in the door, just enough to fit. But the door still didn't respond. He tried to turn to the left, but he couldn't turn at all, and then twisted to the right, and just when it was 90 degrees, the door cracked open. Don immediately dodged in, and with all his strength, pushed the door shut.

Someone was panting loudly, and it was very close. Don calmed his beating heart as he looked around. No one. There wasn't anyone around, but the panting was still loud. It wasn't until quite a while later that it occurred to Tony Don that the one who was gasping for breath was himself. After trying to calm down, he looked forward, and as the headlamp shone on, his eyes were met by a treasure room, rubies, pearls of the night, and the scepter of the ancient Arnods...... There are as many as seven diamond-encrusted crowns made of pure gold alone. At the end of the treasure room was a black jade box, with a seal made of gold leaf attached to the box, which at first glance knew that it was a very valuable thing.

"Tony," Don whispered to himself, "you've made a fortune." Then he walked over to the box.

The seal of the box was painted with patterns that Tang did not recognize, perhaps a mystic technique from the East, Tang wanted to pick up the box, but found that the box was so heavy that he could only move it a little with all his strength, and the seal made of gold leaf seemed to be melted on the box and could not be opened at all. "It's so heavy, maybe it's gold. Tang thought, although gold is very valuable, it is far from the ruby scepter and diamond-encrusted crown.

Don turned and walked to the table where the crowns were placed, and in front of each crown was a marble statue carved with the emperor who had worn the crown, and on the base of the statue there were some ancient words carved into it. Don couldn't read what was written, but he knew that selling such a Nord statue would shock any auction house as long as it wasn't fake. Considering the white mist outside the door that almost melted himself, Don couldn't find a reason for anyone to fake it, no one would go to such great lengths to build a mechanism for a fake, right? He picked up a dusty crown, put it lightly on his head, and then picked up a short scepter from the shelf where the scepter was placed to play, and he felt that the red light that had fainted before entering the passage might have emanated from the ruby set on the top of the scepter. This scepter is also very heavy, I don't know what material it is made of, it must be made of gold mixed with silver, but this scepter is a gem the size of an egg. When the scepter was held in his hand, a sense of majesty arose spontaneously, and there were even thoughts of communicating with the scepter.

Treasures are very good, but to enjoy the wealth that treasures bring, you still have to have a life to go back alive. After Don finished his last bit of food, he began to wonder how to get back. It didn't work to go back from the way he came, just now he opened the door and looked at it, and the diffuse mist immediately leaked in, and his sleeves were slightly stained with a few finger-sized holes, and the corroded was only the wool fabric, but the nylon lining did not change at all. It seems that the chemical fiber thing has some resistance to this fog. But let Don run out with the nylon lining wrapped around his head, but he didn't have the courage to do that—who knows if this fog was only found in the passages? If it spread all over the cave......

You can't just starve to death.

Don casually waved the short scepter and looked around to see where he could get out. Suddenly, there was a tremor in his hand, and a red light came out of the ruby in front of the staff, shining directly on the black jade box at the end. The box also trembled, making sounds like sighing, pleading, crying, and screaming, and Tang clearly felt that the scepter told him that the way out was in the box, but this sound made him dare not move a little, for fear that the black jade box would find himself near it. The sound sounded for about two minutes before it slowly dissipated, and in just two minutes, it seemed like a year, and when Don tried to move his legs, which were stiff due to tension, he found that cold sweat soaked his clothes.

Black Jade Box. After the trembling and the sound had completely stopped, Don felt that it was less terrifying. What was the force that was shaking Don's soul? Don himself couldn't figure it out, and he even hoped that it was an illusion, an illusion that he was too nervous to produce. He slowly walked towards the box, and the gold leaf on the box emitted a dazzling light, shooting on the crown he was wearing, instantly illuminating the entire treasure room, and even the black ring hiding in the shadows behind the box did not escape Don's eyes.

Don walked over cautiously, touched the box lightly with his scepter, and when he saw that nothing was wrong, he reached out and pressed the lid of the box and pushed it up gently, and the box opened.

Nothing. Not empty, but nothing. Not even space. Why is it so heavy when a small box with no space is there? Why is there no space in the box? A box without space is spread on a small table like a piece of paper, but from the outside, it is really a three-dimensional box. Don closed his eyes to relax his mind, and when he opened them again, the box was already closed again. Then, before he could open the box again, the treasure room shook violently, and a hole was cracked in what had been in the wall, and a ray of light came in from outside the hole, and a narrow, steep gravel slope led up the hill. Thanks to Tony Tang, before escaping, he held the scepter tightly with his left hand, snatched another crown with his right hand, and when he passed by the black jade box, he also hooked the black ring away, which was really remarkable. Although he regretted afterwards that if he had had some time, he would have taken off his clothes and taken all the scepters away, but it was still very admirable to be able to make such a reaction under the circumstances at that time.

Don was lamenting or rejoicing at what he had gained, unaware that the shockwave had traveled far away through the spaceless box, deeper underground, even deeper than the cavemen underground. Naturally, there is no light at all in such a deep place, but darkness is never darker than darkness. A voice sounded in that dark and far-reaching place, with infinite joy and fanaticism - the space has fluctuated, go and report to Lord Kyiv!

Tony Don, what did you release while opening the way for yourself to survive?
