"Do you notice that there are a lot of bumps in the walls of this cave, in fact, you may have missed many forks just now, and you can't go any further, and if you continue to walk, it is likely to be a trap. Eddie speculated.

The others obviously didn't see the fork, but Bai Chen was silent, it seems that this old man still has a lot of skills.

They did miss the four forks just now, because the environmental factors in the tunnel, coupled with the marks on the cave wall, gave people the illusion that this was a straight tunnel.

"Go back. Eddie said immediately.

This time, Eddie walked in front, but in order to protect Eddie, Uncle Will followed Eddie's side.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for Eddie to find a fork in the road.

When I came in, this fork was difficult to spot because of the geographical illusion, but when I looked back, it was very easy to find this fork.

"Everyone follow closely, and I don't know what's in this fork. Eddie reminded.

"Dad, what's in there?" asked Serra.

"Unknown. ”

The unknown is the greatest fear of human beings, and human beings are afraid of all the unknown.

The environment inside the fork was the same, completely dark, turbid air, but the sound of the wind howling outside was not so clear.

Poof――

"Ahh

Thera threw herself on the ground with a corpse, and a corpse that was almost all that remained.

It can be seen that the time of this person's death has not passed too long, and it is estimated that it is only a few hours.

Uncle Will immediately came forward to examine the body. The dead died from the gnawing of some kind of beast.

"This is a soldier. Uncle Will whispered, "It may be the soldiers who were on the front of the reconnaissance that the military said before." ”

"Will. What are you hiding? We're all adults! You're not supposed to lie in front of so many smart people. Ken said with a sneer.

Uncle Will's face sank. Add also said, "Will, your level of lies is really bad. ”

Uncle Will snorted: "Well, this person is not a soldier in Dubai, if it is a soldier in Dubai, it is impossible to wear a camouflage uniform, and the color of this person's skin and the old wounds on his body indicate that this is an international mercenary, that is." Before we arrived, there had been a group of uninvited guests who had been here, and who were well armed, but they were attacked by unknown creatures. ”

"In other words, the location of this ruin has leaked?" Eddie's mood suddenly fell to the bottom.

For any archaeologist, an unexplored site is the most valuable, and the wealth and historical research value contained in it are immeasurable.

And such a ruin, like a treasure, will also be targeted by countless collectors, who like to hire a group of robbers to plunder such ruins.

"That's right. Uncle Will nodded: "My suggestion is to retreat to the entrance now." Call for help from the Dubai military, as no one knows what's inside. Whether it's these mercenaries or the unknown creatures inside. ”

"Exit?, and let those mercenaries come out and kill us after they have plundered?" Ken said with a sneer, "I think you are the one who leaked the information about the ruins, and you just wanted to hide the truth." ”

"Ken, I don't care how much prejudice you have against me, now is not the time to be vindictive, all we have to do now is ask the military for help. ”

"Unless he's the one who leaked the information, so the last thing he wants is for the military to be here. Bai Chen's inopportune words made the atmosphere on the scene stranger: "Didn't you notice, he has been blaming Uncle Will for the blame, and only a liar will constantly try to shirk responsibility." ”

"You're the most suspicious person, you outsider who suddenly broke into our ranks! Ken looked at Bai Chen angrily.

"Look, he's here again......"

At this time, the other three all sensed Ken's abnormality, and Ken was like a dog forced into a corner and began to bite people wantonly.

"Teacher, you have to trust me......" Ken was also anxious, and stepped forward to seek Eddie's trust.

At this time, Eddie stepped forward and grabbed Ken's pistol: "Ken, I think your emotions are a little out of control, it's better to put this gun here first." ”

"No!" Ken immediately snatched the gun back and pointed it at Add, stepping back on his feet, and at this moment his emotions were indeed on the verge of collapse.

Uncle Will immediately raised the gun in his hand and pointed it at Ken, "Ken, put the gun down." ”

"Ken, if you don't want to make a big mistake, put the gun down now!" Eddie was also angry.

"Teacher, why are you so stubborn? If we can make our own profits, we no longer need other people's funding, we can look at other people's faces, we can make our own decisions, we can go to any of the ruins to investigate, and then ......"

"And then make more money. Bai Chen Bangken added.

Nowadays, many archaeological teams are not for postgraduate research and restoration of history at all, but just for profit.

Obviously, Ken wants to turn the archaeological team into that model.

"It is impossible to sustain the development of other people's funds and the prize money of the archaeological society alone, we need our own funds, in this world, only money can make the final decision, and then we can refuse this disgusting guy to follow the team, and we don't need to look at other people's faces!" Ken said excitedly.

Ken is a money-oriented man, and obviously, his values are in line with most people today.

However, Ken's words directly angered Eddie, and Eddie looked at Ken angrily: "I don't know who instilled this concept in you, but I don't think you are suitable to stay in my archaeological team anymore." ”

"That's what I want to say, Mr. Addy! I'm younger, better than you, and more capable than you! And you're just a stubborn, old-fashioned old man, you can't drive me anymore!" Ken slowly retreated into the passage: "I will find the value here, the treasure here faster than you!"

......

"Vulture, I'm coming. "Ken is on the way. Contacted the mercenary vulture many times.

The vultures are the object of his cooperation this time. Originally, he wanted to describe their relationship in terms of employment. However, he didn't have any money, and his plan was to wait until the plan was successful before paying the vultures for employment.

But the vulture was obviously more greedy than he thought, and it was impossible for the vulture to work for Ken until he saw the actual benefits.

So Ken had no choice but to change the plan and turn employment into collaboration.

At the end of the passage, Ken meets the vulture, before touching the vulture. Ken knew about vultures.

Vultures and their mercenaries are corruptors, predators of the mercenary world, and they love to plunder all the low-hanging riches.

For example, this time, a relic was looted from an archaeological team.

A relic is equivalent to a treasure, and the value lies not in the traditional sense of gold and silver jewelry, but in many monuments and cultural relics.

These ancient utensils, which have been thousands of years old, are more valuable than gold and silver today.

Take Dunhuang as an example, when the murals of Dunhuang were discovered, they caused a sensation in the entire archaeological community and even the entire world.

The Dunhuang murals were transported abroad by ingenuity. Auction records have been set one after another in international auctions.

After a preliminary investigation, the value of this relic is not below Dunhuang.

That's why Ken is so persistent in wanting to 'go it alone'. At the same time, it is also the reason why the vultures accepted this cooperation plan.

"Ken, I've been waiting for you for a long time, and I'll see you next. The vulture patted Ken on the shoulder, "I hope you won't let me down." ”

"You look like you're going through a big fight. Ken saw the corpses of two mercenaries along the way, and many of the more than twenty mercenaries at the scene were wounded.

"We're in a little trouble because of the lack of information you've given me, but it's just a little bit, and we've solved it. ”

The vulture pointed to the corpses of three furry monsters in the corner, which looked like rats, but they were hundreds of times larger than rats.

However, in the face of so many well-armed mercenaries, these three big rats could obviously only die tragically at gunpoint.

"Looks like we're going to have a little bit more money. Ken took such a sacrifice for granted, even a little gloating.

While most mercenary groups give their victims a pension, vultures apparently don't have this habit.

In his opinion, the dead are all weak, and they all deserve to die.

He shares Ken's opinion on this point, so the two seem to be particularly compatible.

"What about the people from the archaeological team?"

"They're outside, we'd better move faster, they're going to inform the Dubai military. ”

"There is a strong magnetic field in the vicinity, and the communication equipment is not available, and they are not so easy to notify the military. ”

"In any case, we can't afford to delay for too long, because our actions are not honorable. ”

"In this world, glorious things will never make money, Ken...... You're too cowardly. The vulture looks down on Ken because Ken is a traitor, and no matter what industry he is in, a betrayer is not respected: "But you're right, I want to see my treasure soon." ”

The vulture mercenaries moved quickly, but they were blocked by a strange round stone door.

"Blast this stone door open!" the vulture ordered.

"No, no, no...... Don't mess around. Ken immediately stopped the mercenaries from being reckless: "It's amazing, this ruin should be more than five thousand years old, but this stone gate actually has this kind of craftsmanship." ”

"Ken, now is not the time to marvel at the craftsmanship. ”

"Vulture, do you know how much this stone gate can fetch if we can transport it to the international auction house in its entirety?"

"What? Is this stone gate valuable?"

"It's not very valuable, it's very, very valuable. Ken replied solemnly.

"Then take it down!"

"This stone door is made in the form of a combination lock, and if you see the round holes in the four corners and the scale on the side of the door, you need to insert an iron rod into the round hole, and then rotate it at a fine rotation angle, and only when the angles are aligned, can you open the round door. ”

"Can you do it?"

"That's the value of my existence, what about my computer?"

A mercenary took Ken's laptop, Ken took the computer, began to calculate the round door, and after a short time came up with the answer, and then commanded the mercenary to turn the stone door to the corresponding angle, and the stone door opened with a bang.

The vulture nodded with satisfaction, and was a little impressed with Ken: "Well done." ”

Inside the stone gate is a huge interior, with a stone lion statue in the middle, and Ken's face showed ecstasy when he saw this stone lion.

"Oh my God, this is the real treasure! Such exquisite carving skills completely surpass the craftsmanship level of any country and any era in history, if this stone lion can be shipped out, we will be rich!"

The mercenaries entered the room in a hurry, and Ken looked around, and there were four stone doors on the four walls.

The vulture said, "Perhaps behind these stone gates, there are many more such fine statues, opening all the stone doors. (To be continued.) )
