This space is filled with large and small chests.

But the most striking thing is not the chests, but a cast image of the Virgin Mary made entirely of gold.

"Oh my God, the story of Captain Thompson's treasure is true!"

Lu Yuan exclaimed.

The story of the captain's treasure is a household name in the world treasure hunting community.

Legend has it that before 1821, Lima was the center of Spanish colonization in South America.

The revolutionary army led by the Peruvian national hero Borivar was about to invade Lima, and the Spanish governor of Lima sent the plundered gold bars, silver bricks, and treasure jade objects to the brig "Marie" to be shipped to Spain.

Captain Thompson, who was originally born as a pirate, was so obsessed with money that he had evil thoughts and killed the Spanish governor on the way, hiding all the treasure in a cave on Cocos Island.

Unfortunately, the captain was unlucky, and they were hit by a major storm after leaving Cocos Island by boat.

Just when they were in danger, they saw a warship and shouted for help. But who knew that the road was narrow, and this warship was here to track them.

Enraged, the captain shot eight older sailors and Thompson on the spot. The captain of the remaining 3 underage sailors saw that they were young, so he let them go.

The captain learns of Thompson's treasure from the three sailors and directs the ship to divert to Cocos Island in search of the treasure.

But on the way, there was a plague on the ship. One of the young sailors also contracted the plague and soon died.

The lives of the people on the ship are not guaranteed, and the people are in fear.

The other two sailors saw an opportunity and escaped by jumping into the sea on a dark night.

After several days at sea, they were rescued by a U.S. whaling ship. When the ship passed through the Honolulu Islands, a sailor stayed on the island and has lived there ever since.

Another sailor followed the whaling ship to New Bedford, United States.

Twenty years later, the sailor became a seafarer again. On a voyage from Cuba to Canada, he became seriously ill, and before he died, he confided to a close friend about 20 years earlier.

The news soon spread around the world, and countless treasure hunters traveled to Cocos Island in search of the captain's treasure.

However, it was unsuccessful, and instead found many other pirate treasures.

Gradually, people stopped believing in this legend, but because many treasure hunters have made a lot of gains on the island, Cocos Island has gradually become famous.

The reason why Lu Yuan judged these treasures to be the legendary "captain's treasures" was because of the life-size golden statue of the Virgin Mary in front of him.

Because this is the most famous treasure of the captain's treasure.

Although Lu Yuan was surprised in his heart, he didn't have any excitement.

He just looked at these treasures that he coveted in the eyes of ordinary people.

"How did those people put these treasures into this cave back then?"

Lu Yuan was more curious about this matter.

Judging from the treasures in the cave, it is unlikely that they were brought in from the same entrance where they entered.

One is that the passage is too long, how can the average person be able to dive in the water for 10 minutes.

Not to mention having to carry such a heavy load.

If nothing else, the statue of the Virgin Mary is not something that ordinary people can easily move.

"Maybe there's a second entrance here. ”

Lu Yuan searched for it in the cave. There was no ground, no walls around it, could it be that they had come in from the top of the cave.

Lu Yuan used his divine sense to probe the top of the cave.

Unfortunately, no passage was found at the top of the cave.

"What's going on, is it because the time has passed, and the original passage has collapsed?"

Thinking of this, Lu Yuan did not use his divine sense to investigate, but stepped forward himself to check the surroundings of the cave.

After some exploration, Lu Yuan really found some traces on the northwest side.

"It seems that this is the entrance to the original cave, and I don't know if the collapse of the cave entrance is natural or man-made. ”

"It's more likely that it should be man-made!"

Lu Yuan found the original entrance, and then began to count the harvest.

In addition to the most conspicuous statue of the Virgin Mary, this treasure also has dozens of chests of all sizes.

Lu Yuan opened these boxes one by one for inventory.

This time it was even more than he expected.

This treasure is mainly gold.

Including 12,786 gold coins, hundreds of gold products, these products include ornaments, tableware, candlesticks, etc.

Lu Yuan roughly estimated their value, not counting the statue of the Virgin Mary, this batch of treasures was also worth more than 400 million yuan.

If you count the statue of Our Lady, it should be worth more than 600 million.

However, for Lu Yuan, these are not the most important, the real most important thing is a map in this batch of treasures.

This map looks very old. The material is parchment, which was commonly used in the Middle Ages.

Lu Yuan paid attention to him mainly because the place where this map was drawn was actually the Hengduan Mountain Range in the southwest of Zhuxia.

Moreover, the limited number of characters on the map are actually written in small seals.

This made Lu Yuan very interested, you must know that in historical records, there is very little mention of the Hengduan Mountains.

Not to mention that this place is ancient, even in modern times, it is also a very remote area.

Even in Zhuxia, there are many people who don't know where the Hengduan Mountain Range is.

And 200 years ago, a pirate's treasure map appeared in the treasure of the Hengduan Mountains.

And this treasure map, the text used for marking is still a small seal.

This instantly aroused Lu Yuan's curiosity. What kind of treasure is buried in the Hengduan Mountains?

Lu Yuan temporarily suppressed the curiosity in his heart, and after he collected these treasures into the Xiaoding space, he directly used the Earth Escape Technique to get out of the cave.

However, he did not leave Cocos Island immediately.

The scenery of this island is so good that Lu Yuan is reluctant to leave for a while.

For the next three days, Lu Yuan continued to play on the island.

Three days later, after traveling all over the island, I left Cocos Island.

This time, he didn't go back to San Jose, but jumped directly into the sea and performed a water escape spell to go southwest.

After three days of stopping, he came to the sea near Yingzhou.

However, he did not choose to go ashore in Yingzhou, but continued to move forward.

He planned to go back to the undersea cave, but he hadn't been back for a long time, and he didn't know how the whales were living.

A few hours later, he finally saw the whales.

To his great delight, there were two more calves in the group.

Seeing Lu Yuan, the whales quickly swam over and circled around Lu Yuan.

After Lu Yuan helped the whales clean up the pot vines on their bodies, they returned to the cave.

After resting in the cave for the night and putting some important things away, Lu Yuan left the cave again, this time he was ready to go to the Hengduan Mountains.
