This is a time when there is no morality to speak of.

Immediately after the end of the slave trade, a West India Company ship met up with another ship coming from a top-secret route.

The West India Company, carrying a large number of workers and equipment, then disguised itself as a caravan and arrived in the mountains not far from the small town of Salem.

They seem to have found gold veins here, and in the local indigenous civilization, this mountain was the World Tree of Mayan mythology.

The root extends down to the underworld, its trunk represents the middle realm inhabited by humans, and the high arched canopy of branches symbolizes the upper realm and the thirteen levels of Mayan paradise.

Whether out of curiosity or the search for the veins, the West India Company came here and began to search for the veins.

For days on end, the West India Company men returned in vain, and the scarcely uninhabited area was the endless dense forests and the poisonous beasts that constantly attacked them.

After several days of exploration, the West India Company not only did not find any veins, but also folded several slaves, which made the commander feel unparalleled disgust.

For days a year, they only felt like they were battling their wits against the savage environment, where he would rather have another trip to the slave trade than stay here.

But in the midst of their complaints, several slaves and the watchman in charge were gone.

A team of ore vein experts and colonists from the West India Company made their way in the direction of the vanishing crowd and found a cave that connected to an underground river, and the sound of the underground river could be heard as they went.

Originally, the detection should end here, because it is basically impossible for the vein to be associated with the underground river, and even if there is a vein under the underground river, and it is still a gold mine, it is a loss-making business to excavate at this stage of technology.

This time, however, the West India Company found the body of the Surveillance Officer at the entrance of the cave, and the slaves ran deeper into the cave, which made the West India Company slave owners feel a burst of anger.

They were going to send their slaves in again to investigate the situation, and this time all the slaves were tied with thick hemp ropes, and the other end of the hemp rope was in their hands, so that the slaves would not have the slightest chance of escaping.

However, after going deep for more than 200 meters, the tight hemp rope suddenly broke, and a large number of West India Company people felt that it was unusual, even if this kind of hemp rope was cut with a knife, it was estimated that it would take a long time to break.

And in their senses, the hemp rope tied to the slave was suddenly broken without warning.

The West India Company then used the same method to place several groups of slaves, but all of them seemed to have been sunk into the sea, and when they reached a certain depth, the rope suddenly broke, and then they were completely lost.

The cave was like a gate to the demons of hell, and it had swallowed more than a dozen people in a row, without any sound.

After the slaves in their hands were basically used up, they lit torches in one hand and flintlock pistols in the other, and prepared to enter the cave themselves.

The group made their way inside, and under the light of the torches, there was no sign of any living creatures in the cave, not even bats and insects that lived in the darkness.

The sound of the groundwater became clearer and clearer, and several people felt colder and colder at the same time, but the light of the torches flickered in the underground cavern, giving the dozen colonists a myriad of small sense of security.

The person leading the way at the front suddenly disappeared after the turn, causing all the people behind to riot, and then, as soon as they crossed the bend, even the light of the torches disappeared.

"Charlie? What's up ahead? ”

The people in the rear were questioning, and there was no response from the front.

There was a constant echo in the eerie underground cavern, and no sound came back from the bend ahead.

All that remained in the silent crypt was the echo and the sound of running water that seemed to ring in your ears.

All the silence, depression, and panic began to spread, and the rest of the people did not dare to cross that bend again, and the leader of the rear held his guns and would not let these people escape.

Just as the group of people almost went off fire because of this situation, the voice of their companion came from the depths.

"Come in quickly, we're rich, hahahaha, we're rich, we're rich!"

The people who were about to mutinie immediately relaxed their vigilance when they heard the voice, and after their companions kept repeating the words "get rich", greed suppressed fear, and a group of people turned the bend in a mighty way.

This bend is very narrow, and it can only accommodate one person for more than ten meters in a row, but after crossing this narrow crossing, it suddenly opens up.

A terrifying underground space is displayed in front of everyone, the most conspicuous of which is a spiral minaret leading to the top of the underground space in the sky hundreds of meters high.

The spiral spire emitted a red glow, and the light covered the entire underground space, as if the sound of running water was constantly coming from the spire, and the spire hung upside down from the top, as if it were a ghostly axe.

Around him, the remains of man-made structures were scattered all over the ground, and through the blood-red glow of the inverted spires, they saw that they were one open-air burial mound.

All the colonists looked at the inverted spire in amazement, and they had only one thought in their hearts, "Get rich"!

They didn't even realize that after entering, they didn't find Charlie, who was the first to come, and the trace of the more than ten slaves had completely disappeared, and they were completely attracted by the mass of tombs at this time, and they couldn't take their eyes off it.

For them, the tomb is gold, money, everything plundered, more important than life.

In addition to the sound of running water, a large number of voices began to echo in everyone's ears, and countless people began to frantically pour into the tomb.

At this time, the people waiting outside the cave were even more puzzled, and the previous group of colonists had been in for a long time, but there was no response.

Just as they were about to send someone in again, a man with a strange stone in his hand burst out of the cave laughing, muttering "Rich, we're going to get rich!"

He looked like he was crazy, and his mouth kept dripping with a mixture of blood and saliva, but he didn't pay any attention to it, and his mouth kept repeating it.

This made the people waiting outside confused, obviously this person brought out only a pile of stones with strange patterns on it, why did he keep saying "rich".

Who wants this pile of broken stones? The artists who are addicted to hallucinogens can't look down on these broken stones, right?

However, soon everyone present only felt a slight impression in front of them, and they rubbed their eyes together, only to find that the stones in the hands of the companion who came out actually seemed to be pieces of dog's head gold.

Get rich! That's the only thing they have on their mind.

"Bang!" I don't know who shot and killed the companion who came out with a large amount of dog's head gold in his arms, and went up to coax and grab the gold nuggets.

Everyone began to scramble.

Soon after, the West India Company colonists, who came over again, felt a little confused when they saw the group of companions frantically grabbing several stone fragments.

Isn't that just an ordinary stone, and it's not gold, so why rush it?

With this question in mind, they also walked over to the stone......
