CCCIV. Sage Crossing East
The island exploration progresses methodically.
Two days later, on January 17, 2690 in the Holy Spirit calendar.
The Black Sail Exploration Team has penetrated about 700 miles into the interior of the island, which is already extremely fast.
The biologists in CΓ©line's team have made a major discovery, and there are some extinct plants and animals in the Western Continent, most of which are small insects such as ferns and butterflies.
It has academic value, but not much economic value.
There are indeed monsters here, in the inland valley area, there are giant pythons, as well as red-haired monkeys, there are also water antelope deer, etc., which are not much different from other islands in the East China Sea, and belong to the same kind of monsters, which can be included in the category.
With the level of Hei Fan and his party, there is naturally no need to worry about these low-level demonic beasts that silver-level adventurers can do with weapons.
The good hand in the column can be chopped off by dividing five by two in three strokes.
Don't expect how much money these magical beasts can sell, they are all rotten street goods, and they are not as good as the special sea beasts around the waters of Heavenly Harbor.
But the geologist gave him the news that made List's eyes light up, and the deeper he wentwent, he found a lot of tuff, which was a sign of gold.
Even though scholars in the Western Continent do not understand the specific cause of gold, they have found experience that there are often gold mines around volcanoes.
Tuff is a type of volcanic eruption sediment, and there may be a volcano on this island, but according to the geological dating of tuff by scholars, it has not been active for more than a thousand years, and even if it exists, it is an extinct volcano.
"Maybe you've made a fortune."
The geologists said that they had found a lot of artifacts from ancient times, and gold was a precious metal everywhere.
If there was once a civilization here, but it ceased to exist due to natural disasters or other reasons, then the main purpose now is to find the palace where their ruler once lived, or some local religious temple.
As long as you find it, there is a high chance of finding a huge amount of gold and getting rich directly.
In the middle of the dark jungle.
The farther inside, the tropical trees grew unusually large, so thick that they shouldn't have been, the trees were so old that they hid out much of the light, and the heavy humidity made the soil loose and rotten.
The group's boots were covered in mud, and after two days of exploration, they were disgraced.
At this time, one of the explorers in front came back and walked to the center of the column.
Another brass statue was found and handed over to Lisster.
Li Si Te played with the statue, and when he had a party with the Undead Pirates and the Zhenlang Pirates a few years ago, Wen Kui had shown almost the same thing at that time.
According to Fen at the time, it was a bit old, and something similar had been unearthed on a flying island near the southern continent.
This palm-sized bronze sculpture is some kind of strange life, with rattan-like tentacles on its back, the whole is close to the outline of a humanoid, and it has a bloody mouth larger than half a face, revealing a strange gloom.
"Yang Bodhisattva belongs to yes, do you know what this thing is?"
Li Shi handed over to the historians in the column, this wave of people is too professional, and it can be of great use in the future, so it must be taken well.
Selene has been looking for the gap between Li Shi and Li Shi in the past two days, ready to let him go alone, and it is time to go deep into here.
But Li Si Te has never given her a chance, she is worthy of being a pirate, she doesn't pay attention to personal space, he won't leave the team when he releases water, and he doesn't look for a single tree, so he just lets it go.
Celine had nothing to say, and after seeing the artifact with her own eyes in voyeurism, she was also terrified.
The historian held back for a long time and made a bold guess.
"It should be sacrificial items, but all the religions in the coastal areas, even some cults, have never seen anything like it, and it seems that similar items have been unearthed on the flying islands of the southern continent.
No living people were found here...... And the shape of this bronze statue, I don't know if it's correct, it's just a preliminary speculation, obviously it's not a human, it's not a recorded monster, it can't be ruled out that some necromancer made a thing, but in that case, people should worship the warlock, not the monster at his disposal.
Based on the discoveries made so far, there are some vessels dating back to 1,008 years ago, and I judge that this is so. It was the 'Sage' who had been tainted by the miracle of suffering, who had fled here a long time ago, and was then worshipped as a god by the local natives. And with the Nameless One's mastery, all the miracles dissipated and entered the final state of rampage, destroying the civilization on the island before dying...... It should be like this, although some of the clansmen left and fled to the vicinity of the Southern Continent, but later they were gradually assimilated. β
Historians have made preliminary inferences.
Li Shi Te doesn't know much about history, but he thinks it's awesome and sounds quite professional.
He ordered to prepare for a while, let everyone rest, and by the way eat some dry food to replenish their energy, and he himself did not care whether it was dirty or not, found a rock and sat down.
At this moment.
Iron Soul Island.
An ancient underground spiritual temple, overgrown with vines, and an unknown ant insect crawling on the stone slab floor full of ravines and cracks.
As torches illuminate the quaint stone wall sculptures, there are also text symbols.
"That's right, this is the text of the Mother Divine Sect, when the Mother Divine Sect had already unified the continent and wanted to spread the faith to the whole world, so there were 'saints' who crossed east and went to the Far Eastern Islands to preach. However, there was no such thing as a route at that time, and an accident occurred on the way, and he was stranded on the island, where he was worshipped by the local aborigines. It's a good thing that there are no living people on the island, it's a dead island, there are no enemies in the Borderlands, and all the resources are ours. β
One of Doelinger's historians wiped the mist from his glasses and said to Doelinger.
"What about gold? Didn't you say there were such signs? β
Doulinger questioned a geologist.
"There are indeed signs that it will take a long time to survey the veins, and to turn the whole island upside down, we have to put our hopes in the countless gold diggers."
The geologist was embarrassed, and under the strong sense of oppression of this man, he was a little unfavorable to speak.
Doulinger's brows furrowed, this island is still very valuable, just cutting wood, the orders of the furniture company in Aranli will be squeezed, there are a lot of stout materials, and they can make monolithic furniture without splicing.
Mineral resources are currently pending.
There are no strange monsters on the island, but fortunately, the place is large enough to fight, and some adventurers can also come here to buy goods.
These heritage landscapes are a problem.
It can attract a lot of archaeologists, and it is also a lot of money.
"Find all the spiritual temples on the island and smash all the stone tablets with words."
Doulinger made this judgment.
How to say the miracle of pain, it is simply the base of the base, the milk of the milk play, it is very unlucky, if the Iron Soul Island attracts those crazy people, it will definitely not be good, and it will have an impact on the business.
In addition, it can also make those archaeologists more busy and increase the sense of mystery, you must know that those people are rich second generations, and there are no serious people who study archaeology, how much can be squeezed.
Former Bema General Horis received an order to immediately have the steles destroyed.
Historians have mixed feelings, because they are blinded to the truth and do not conform to professional ethics, but the other party is that Doulinger, and he can only let it go.
"There's a map here, and it's like it's marked...... The location of the central temple on the island. β
Another historian said.
"Really...... Let's go. β
Doulinger has a large number of people, all of whom are leaders in the industry, and the central temple is the last place to explore, he himself is only here to inspect the site, and many other important things are waiting for him, and he can't stay for a long time.
