Chapter 192: Dark Clouds Cover the Sun

Originally, according to Chen Jianqiu's meaning, everyone could take a little rest and wait until the next day before setting off.

But everyone said that time is running out, and wasting time is equivalent to wasting life.

Morale can only be taken away from it.

So, except for a few people who couldn't eat lunch because of nausea, everyone else filled their stomachs and followed Chen Jianqiu from the waterway to the valley.

Chen Jianqiu was the first to go into the water, he dragged a rope to lead the way in front, and the people behind could swim all the way along this rope.

They wrapped things that were easy to enter the water in canvas, tied them with ropes, and took them into the cave.

Everything went smoothly.

When a group of people appeared wet at the mouth of the cave in the valley, it was already approaching evening.

Now they are all fishy, sour, and smelly.

Chen Jianqiu fairly rolled the glands all over each of them.

"Boss, we really, don't we need to pull out our guns." Sean looked around at the monsters that were staring at him with eyes, a little panicked.

The monsters saw a group of "kinds" who exuded the scent of Venerable Ones walking in, tilting their heads, a little puzzled.

Chen Jianqiu turned around, glanced at the cautious black man, walked up to him, took out the disgusting gland, and wiped it on his face again.

And then stuffed the lump into the black man's pocket.

Sean had a feeling of tumbling in his stomach.

"Isn't that a lot more reassuring?" Chen Jianqiu said to him with a smile.

Sure enough, those monsters had a much better attitude towards Sean, and several "licking dogs" followed Sean.

"Don't lose the things in your pocket, this is our 'ticket' to enter and exit." Chen Jianqiu turned his head and walked towards the front of the line again, "Take care of your 'licking dogs', they may be useful." ”

Chen Jianqiu led the group and began to search in the valley.

However, just like Chen Jianqiu's previous results, there was no gain.

They rummaged through every stone in the valley, carefully checking for any clues on the stones and vegetation.

But such a thing does not exist.

"Will it be buried in the ground?" Hanif and Donnie each carried a shovel on their shoulders and asked Holmes.

"Even if it's buried in the ground, you have to know where to start digging!" Holmes glared at them.

In the end, the focus still came to the cliffside that Chen Jianqiu had never set foot on before.

Only there has not been searched.

The crowd came to the edge of the cliff.

"No, it's really down there." Sean looked down the cliff.

Below is a dark valley, which is shaded by the light, and the sun does not shine, and when you look down from above, you can't see the bottom.

Chen Jianqiu picked up a stone from the ground and threw it down.

Without waiting for the sound of objects touching the ground, the deep valley was like a monster, ready to devour anything that fell into it.

"Probably not, if they really want to hide a lot of treasures, how can they transport them?" Holmes shook his head.

Draw a treasure map, just so that one day you or your descendants will come back to pick it up, otherwise why draw a map in a hurry?

That's the difference between treasure hunting and tomb robbing.

If it is hidden in this deep valley in front of you, there should be a way to go down, and it can't really be that so much gold is thrown directly from the top of the cliff.

So everyone began to look for clues on the edge of the cliff again.

I don't know because the times are too old, and the traces have been smoothed out by the wind and sun; Or is the vegetation growing unchecked, hiding all the clues underneath.

In short, nothing.

In this valley, there is hardly any trace of man-made.

The sun has quietly hung on the top of the mountain and is about to set.

With his notebook and human skin map in hand, Holmes sat down on a rock on the edge of the cliff in a daze.

A terrible thought came to his head.

Impossible, impossible, I have studied this human skin map for a long time, whether it is the text description or the pattern in it.

Everything is right.

Except that this valley is almost empty.

Among these people, except for Chen Jianqiu, he cares most about this treasure, not only for the gold, but also for the uncover of that history and those past events.

He is a geologist as well as an archaeologist.

However, he now has to face a cruel possibility.

He looked at Chen Jianqiu stunned, his eyes full of despair:

"Chen, is there a possibility that the treasure mentioned in this treasure map is fake?"

This sentence was like a stone, dragging everyone's hearts deep into the bottom of the lake.

Sean looked dazed, the three Chinese guys didn't know much, and they didn't dare to say anything, and the Danny couple stared at Fukaya in a daze.

The experienced Hanif took a deep breath and came up with an even more terrifying scenario:

"Could it be a trap here?"

"Why did the Apache Indians choose to leave halfway through? Are they not at all interested in these possible treasures? ”

"Why don't the Nahuas want to come here all the time? If there really is a treasure, why don't their people who drew this map choose to guard it, they don't choose to take it, but use terrible fables to warn their people to stay away from here? ”

Hanif's reasoning was very logical and reasonable, and everyone began to look around vigilantly, and this valley, which had been empty, suddenly became dangerous.

Chen Jianqiu's face was as calm as ever.

Hanif's statement is a possibility.

The author of this humanskin map did come here and drew a treasure map, which he used as bait to lure enemies here and bury them there.

Not to mention anything else, those blood-sucking monsters alone are enough for them to drink a pot.

Nice speculation.

However, he had already thought of this situation.

For countless nights, in the dead of night, Chen Jianqiu would go through the possible results in his mind according to the changes in intelligence.

This was only one of the twenty-three eventual possibilities he had estimated.

Chen Jianqiu looked at Holmes, and the geologist at this time was like an eggplant beaten by frost, hanging his head.

"Holmes, is all the information you deduced before correct?" Chen Jianqiu asked.

Holmes raised his head: "The source of wealth is right, the customs are right, the history of the Aztecs is right, and even the route of migration is right." ”

He shook his head: "But, the truth is, there is nothing here!" ”

Chen Jianqiu patted him on the shoulder: "You have to trust your own judgment." ”

He whistled.

Before he could go into the water, he let the corn out.

Although he couldn't see anything in the cave just now, Chen Jianqiu judged that this valley should not be far from the direction of the lake and the waterfall.

I don't know if the corn can be found.

The whistle echoed through the valley, which was like a megaphone that amplified the whistle.

Sure enough, after a while, a golden eagle appeared at the mouth of the valley and flew towards them.

"No one can get a final answer until that deep valley is searched." Chen Jianqiu dropped a sentence and walked towards the edge of the cliff again.

He gave the corn an order for the foolish bird to go around the valley and see if he could find anything useful.

The only pity is that he, the best scout, does not have a "common language" with him.

Chen Jianqiu stood on the edge of the cliff with his hands in his hands, quietly waiting for the news of corn.

The sun had sunset below the mountain, and only the setting sun reflected on the valley.

Holmes was already lying on the ground, looking up at the sky.

Unwillingly, he took out the human skin map again.

The human-skin map had been soaked in Chen Jianqiu's blood, and the new road map had covered the original map, leaving only the Aztec hieroglyphs exposed.

He also knew the meaning of these words by heart.

Alas, it's all myths, what's there to see.

He spread his arms, formed a "big" figure, and looked at the sky again.

You can already see some stars hanging in the sky, and it's really beautiful to look at the sky from this angle.

Suddenly, a dark shadow swept in front of his eyes.

It was corn, and the guy flew up from the deep valley and rushed into the sky.

It dropped something and smashed it into Holmes' face.

That thing, it's still moving.

"Holy! What a thing! The geologist was so frightened that he jumped up from the ground like a spring, grabbed the thing that was still bouncing on his face, and threw it to the ground.

The crowd was also taken aback.

They fixed their eyes on the thing struggling on the ground.

The animal had a pair of wings covered with a layer of fur, and it had an ugly appearance, with pointed ears, like an eyeless mouse.

Mexican canine snouting bats?

The corn's claws cut through its body, and the guy was struggling on the brink of death.

Before everyone could realize what it meant.

They heard a loud noise coming from the direction of the deep valley.

A series of "dark clouds" that obscured the sky and the sun spiraled up from the deep valley, obscuring half of the sky and the afterglow.

The flapping of countless wings whistled past the edge of the cliff and flew out of the valley.

Chen Jianqiu stood on the edge of the cliff with his hands in his hands, staring at the dark clouds:

"We believe that the Supreme Quetzalcoatl God has led us to a new home."

"But when night falls, the god of darkness always comes like a dark cloud."

"We pray earnestly that we will not go into that boundless darkness again."

Holmes was stunned and remembered that what Chen Jianqiu said was the meaning of the symbols on the human skin map!

He rushed to the edge of the cliff, looking for the direction in which the tens of thousands of bats had flown out.

He found it.

A cave! Right at their feet! On the walls of the cliffs!
