Eight hundred and twentieth chapters royal treasures
Carter Quinn has "coveted" the Black Wolf's treasure for a long time. Now that he has certain news, he is not willing to waste another minute. He immediately leads a group of crew members to the huge cave and stands in front of the underground cave.
In front of the deeper hole.
Looking at the bottomless cave entrance with the cold wind blowing out, the crew members all looked a little scared. After all, they are warriors on the sea and are fearless in the face of huge waves and storms. It can be said that they are very good at cave exploration.
Out-and-out laymen would never agree to dig into the ground if the promised bonus was not too generous to refuse.
Xue Chen saw that he had brought a lot of ropes and realized that he wanted to use a traction rope to avoid getting lost underground, but Andrew had already said that this method was not completely safe.
Carter Quinn began to make arrangements. The two crew members worked as a team, and the ten crew members were divided into five teams. Ropes and flashlights were distributed, but there was nothing more.
"Shouldn't we bring some drinking water and food?" Xue Chen asked at the side.
Carter Quinn glanced at his watch, glanced over, and said coldly: "It's not necessary. Each team can stay there for two to three hours at most. They have to return regardless of whether they find anything. It would be better to bring those extra things."
It’s cumbersome and reduces efficiency.”
Seeing a group of people here preparing to go deeper into the ground to find the treasure left by the pirates of the Black Wolf, on the other side, the group headed by Jesta looked grim.
He was just happy that Xue Chen and the other three had left. Finally, no one disturbed them and they could conduct a quiet and careful search. But, hell, things got worse. So many people rushed in and they were ready to go deeper into the cave.
"damn it!"
Jesta took a deep breath and barely suppressed his anger. What should he do now? He glanced at the exploration team leader Cohen and found that the other party was also looking at him with the intention of asking.
Are you going to go down to the crypt? Then let’s go too! We must not let the other party take the lead. We could have done it leisurely, but now we must seize the time.
"Captain Cohen, please get ready."
"no problem."
When a group of British people arrived at the entrance to the cave deeper underground, ten crew members of the Ord had already poured into the cave. At first, they could still see the light of a strong flashlight, but in less than two minutes, the light disappeared.
, turned into a dark hole again, with only five pieces of rope about the thickness of a little finger left outside, tied to a raised rock, which was a guarantee for the crew to find their way back.
Only Carter Quinn and Xue Chen were left at the entrance of the cave.
When Jesta and the others started to prepare to go down to the crypt, Carter Quinn frowned, but said nothing. After all, this treasure was an ownerless thing, and he had no right to stop others from searching for it.
Compared to a group of crew members who were traveling lightly, the four professional prospectors were fully armed and carrying a large backpack. It was unclear what items were inside, and they did not use a leash to avoid getting lost. It seemed that
Have your own plans.
"Captain Cohen, God will bless you, I believe you will succeed." When Cohen led the exploration team to prepare to enter the cave, Jesta nodded sternly and said.
When the crew and the exploration team all went down, the cave immediately seemed deserted. Pairs of eyes could not help but stare at the dark cave, feeling uneasy yet full of expectation.
"Can it really be found?" Xue Chen thought silently in his heart, and took another look at the five ropes leading to the darkness.
It would take a long time for those who went down to come up, maybe two or three hours. Those waiting at the entrance of the cave simply found something to put under their buttocks and sat down to wait. During this period, only Carter Quinn left the cave and made a satellite phone call outside.
.
"Xue Chen, do you think they can find the treasure?" Amanda asked hesitantly.
"It's hard to say, maybe it's possible, it depends on luck." Xue Chen returned.
Time passed little by little, and the cave was extremely quiet. Water drops fell from time to time, making a subtle "tapping" sound, which could be heard very clearly.
"Hey, Xue, let me admire that golden dagger, okay?" Andrew asked.
Xue Chen reached into his arms, took out the golden dagger from the Jade Eye Space, handed it over, and placed it in Andrew's hand.
Everyone else looked over. When Jesta saw the golden dagger, his face darkened. Suffocation flashed in his eyes. He wanted to turn his head and look away, but he couldn't help but take another look at the golden dagger.
Carter Quinn's eyes narrowed when he saw the golden dagger. Just by looking at it, he realized that the origin of this golden dagger was not simple and it was valuable. He asked in confusion: "Where did this come from?"
Andrew admired the golden dagger in his hand, sighed at the exquisite and luxurious shape, and casually talked to Carter Quinn about the process of obtaining the golden dagger.
"Did he dig it in this cave?"
Knowing the general outline of the matter, Carter Quinn's eyes twitched, and he glanced at Xue Chen lightly. There was some hidden unhappiness in his eyes, as if he was dissatisfied with Xue Chen's luck, and unexpectedly got such a good thing. It turned out that he didn't
It's not that nothing is gained.
"What a beautiful dagger. I seem to have seen this star-shaped mark before. It seems to be the royal mark of some country in the past." Andrew was very familiar with it. He also had some understanding and mastery of antique artifacts, and he could still judge the value.
"Oh, is it true?" Amanda also took it with interest and looked at it again and again. "There is really a star-shaped mark on the scabbard. Oh, if it really is something from the royal family in the past.
,It would be great."
Carter Quinn wanted to take a look, but when he thought it was Xue Chen's thing, he couldn't help but open his mouth and snorted, then simply turned his head to the other side and stared at the entrance of the crypt.
"The royal treasure?!" Jesta's chest felt tight and she almost vomited blood.
The golden dagger returned to his hand again. Xue Chen glanced at the scabbard and saw the five-pointed star pattern on it. As for what it symbolized, he was not very clear yet.
After waiting for a while, Amanda glanced at her watch and whispered, it was almost two hours, people should be out soon.
For a moment, everyone inevitably became a little nervous, cheered up, and looked more attentively at the entrance of the hole moving deeper.
"Out!"
Just after another ten minutes passed, a glimmer of light suddenly appeared in the darkness.
Carter Quinn and Jesta both stood up excitedly, waiting for the people to come out. It was not clear which side they were on.
"It's Zoe and Pfister." Seeing the two crew members coming out, Andrew called out their names and walked up to them with Carter Quinn.
Although this island is at the junction of tropical and subtropical areas, and the temperature outside is very high, it is obvious that the temperature deep in the cave is not high, and the crew members have no experience in this area. They only wore jackets and trousers, so they were the first to come out.
Both crew members seemed to be cold, shivering, their lips were a little white, and their hair and clothes were wet with moisture.
Carter Quinn stepped forward and asked urgently: "How is the situation?"
The two crew members shivered slightly and shook their heads: "Mr. Carter, we didn't find anything. Oh, it's really wet and slippery inside, and the temperature is still low. It's really bad."
Carter Quinn looked disappointed, and Jesta breathed a sigh of relief.
"You should go outside the cave immediately to bask in the sun. Take a rest and wait for others to come out. Thank you for your hard work." Andrew said with concern.
The two crew members nodded to Andrew, put down the rope in their hands, and helped him walk out of the cave.
Not long after, another light appeared. It was still the two crew members on the Ord. They were in a similar situation to the two men just now, and they also found nothing.
In the next half hour, people kept coming out, including the crew of the Ord and members of the exploration team from the UK. Every time someone came out, people couldn't help but feel nervous and full of expectations.
But the news brought was disappointing every time. Not only the crew of the Ord, but also the exploration team members did not bring good news.
When it was almost three hours, the members of the four exploration teams over there all returned safely, and the crew members of the Ord also came out one after another.
"Are all our people out?" Carter Quinn asked Andrew.
"Four teams of people have come out, and one team of people has not come out yet." Andrew thought for a moment, "Hans and Oni haven't come out yet."
Carter Quinn nodded, his eyes full of hope, hoping that this last group of people could bring good news.
Jester and his group also temporarily left the cave and stood outside in the sunshine, dispelling the cold air from their bodies.
"Mr. Jesta, I'm sorry, we didn't find anything today, but don't worry, we will go down again tomorrow!" Cohen's eyes were full of unwillingness and strong fighting spirit.
"Well, thank you for your hard work." Jesta nodded, put away his disappointment, and raised his eyebrows, "Do you think they have a chance to find it first?"
"Them? A group of headless flies who have to rely on a rope to find their way back." Cohen snorted disdainfully.
"Okay, let's go back to the ship first and have a good rest. We will land on the island tomorrow." Jesta glanced at the direction of the cave and led the people back.
But at this moment, chaos broke out in the cave. The last team came back, but only one person, Oni, came back, and Hans from the same team was not there!
As soon as Oni walked out of the cave, he collapsed and sat down at the entrance of the cave with a pop. His face turned pale and he was trembling. He glanced at everyone with two eyes and let out a silent sob.
Seeing this scene, everyone present felt their scalps numb and realized that something had happened!
Xue Chen also frowned, having a bad feeling. (To be continued)
