"Ah, yes, to be exact, I'm a geologist, you know, geology and archaeology are inseparable."

The old man pulled out a not-so-small box from the cabinet and compared it to the mural on the wall, but seemed to think of something again, and sighed.

In this black-lit cave, even if there is a fire, this camera can't catch anything, what did you think in the first place? Just because of this, I almost lost my life.

He sat down on the ground.

"You, Chinese New Year's Eve five years old?" Chen Jianqiu asked with a little confusion.

The old man turned his head with a look of vicissitudes, and when he heard this, a trace of excitement appeared on his face.

"How did you know I was thirty-five? Oh my God, you're the first to say I'm thirty-five! ”

Those who are engaged in geology really look a little more mature.

Seeing that Chen Jianqiu didn't answer, old man, no, Uncle Holmes spoke first: "Did you come to me for something?" It can't be that I happened to pass by and saved me. ”

Chen Jianqiu took out the human skin map from his pocket and handed it to him.

By the light of the campfire, Uncle Holmes carefully examined the human skin map in front of him, and the look on his face changed from the initial doubt, to the later surprise, and then to the final joy, and the haze brought by the camera just now was swept away.

"Where did you get this?" Holmes asked, "How much?" Can you sell it to me? ”

Chen Jianqiu shook his head.

"Shall I wait and take a picture?"

Chen Jianqiu shook his head again.

Holmes felt a little regretful, and he stared at the human skin map with intent: "This may be a treasure map, the words or symbols on it are from Mesoamerica, it may be from the Aztec civilization, but judging from the preservation of human skins, it seems that the time is not that long." ”

"Fakes?" Chen Jianqiu raised his eyebrows.

"No, it's probably a branch." He pointed to the valley on the map, "This landscape looks like northern Mexico, southwestern America." ”

U.S.-Mexico border?

"I'm very interested in the culture of Central America, but unfortunately I haven't been able to make the trip, and the original plan was to go there in three years." Holmes reluctantly handed the human skin painting back to Chen Jianqiu.

"So, I'll go back to Denver, my good friend Dr. Lockhart is very interested in this, I'll discuss it with him, and you can go there and find me later." He thought for a moment, then took out a crumpled piece of paper from his clothes and handed it to Chen Jianqiu, "If nothing else, I will stay at the Flamingo Hotel." ”

His name is printed on it.

Chen Jianqiu nodded and put away the human skin map and pieces of paper.

I don't know if the ogres didn't do much to Professor Holmes to keep the meat fresh or what, so he didn't have any problems walking.

Asuka handed him a biscuit, but the sight of the cave and the pungent smell of blood made him unable to swallow even though he had seen the world.

The four of them returned the way they came, and soon saw the bright entrance to the cave.

Sean was about to walk out, but was pulled by Chen Jianqiu.

"No, there's someone at the entrance to the cave."

The bird also sensed that something was wrong, the entrance to the cave was not so quiet just now, and from time to time there would be bold deer passing by occasionally, and now not only could not see the deer and rabbit, but even the birds could not be heard.

Chen Jianqiu dragged the corpse near the entrance of the cave, held it, and then kicked it out.

Sure enough, in an instant, there was a loud gunshot, and the corpse was quickly beaten into a sieve.

"I'll go, there's really someone!" Sean was stupid.

At this time, there was really a group of people waiting at the entrance of the cave.

On the high platform where Chen Jianqiu was lying on his stomach, there were eight or nine well-dressed men at this time, and behind them was the man with the gun who killed Brinton on a rainy night.

They are all agents of the Pinkerton Detective Agency.

"Boss, we ran out to arrest people by ourselves, and the boss knew about it, so we won't be slaughtered by him, right?" A procuring agent asked.

The man with the gun ignored him, his eyes were bloodshot and he licked his lower lip with his tongue.

Such an interesting prey that I haven't encountered in a long time.

"If someone comes out, shoot immediately, don't leave your hands, the dead will not resist." He gave the order.

At this time, a "person" fell out of the hole.

All the guns went off.

The "man" soon lay on the ground and did not move, and a group of people were still mending their guns, hitting the corpse, splashing blood.

The shooting accuracy of these people was higher than that of the cavalry that Chen Jianqiu had encountered before.

"Stop."

The man with the gun noticed that something was wrong, the shirtless man was originally a corpse.

"Four of you, push our Gatling up, and the others, surround me." Although the man was tricked, he was even more excited.

They followed the same route as Chen Jianqiu and the others before to approach the entrance of the cave, and directly opposite the entrance of the cave, four people pushed the Gatling machine guns unloaded from the carriage and entered the firing position.

"Come out, come out now and I'll keep you alive." The man shouted with a sinister smile. He loaded the lever rifle on his shoulder, intending to hit anyone as soon as they showed their heads.

No one responded to him.

The machine guns began to roar, pouring bullets into the dark hole.

The bullets struck the wall on the inside of the cave and jumped around, and for a moment the rubble fell off and dust was everywhere.

"Huh." A scream suddenly came from the hole, and the man with the gun was ecstatic, "Some of them have been shot, rush!" ”

The machine guns ceased fire, and a group of people rushed into the hole.

However, they were greeted by a black troll.

Before they could react, the troll had already fired three shots in an instant, and the two people in the front row were killed on the spot, and the one behind was forced back by the third shot.

That's impossible!

How could anyone possibly fire three shotguns in such a quick time? And it's so powerful!

The agents left the two bodies behind and had to exit the cave.

Someone was indeed shot, and just now a bullet hit the wall of the hole, grazed Sean's thigh and flew over, taking off the clothes and a layer of flesh on it.

Asuka dragged Sean to the back and handed it over to Uncle Holmes.

Chen Jianqiu went up with a pump-activated shotgun and happened to bump into the agents who surrounded him.

has been single for more than 20 years, and in terms of the speed of the action of pulling the handguard backwards to change the bullet, Chen Jianqiu is by no means inferior to others, plus he reacts very quickly, and he fired three bullets in an instant.

Pumping the pump out of a semi-automatic rate of fire, it's no wonder that the man with the gun outside can't understand it.

"Push forward!"

The loss of two agents at once, the man was very angry, the hook nose gave them the order to follow, this time he took his subordinates out to arrest people privately, if he couldn't catch people, he definitely had no way to explain.

He ordered Gatling to be pushed forward some distance and sealed the hole.

The people in the cave didn't bring supplies, and they had to be blocked to see how long they could last.

But Chen Jianqiu, who knew that there was another cave entrance in the cave, was not very interested in accompanying him here, so he simply bandaged Sean and led the others to the other side of the cave.

The cave was not large, and the road was not long, so they quickly found another exit in the direction of the wind coming from the cave.

But just as they were about to go out, Chen Jianqiu's footsteps stopped again.

Here, too, there are people!
