save the bachelors

Chapter 4520 [Jungle Adventure]

During these years, Weatherby's health deteriorated and he eventually died.

Xiang Nan did not help him prolong his life. For him, death was actually a good thing.

Weatherby's death made Elizabeth very sad for a time. After all, she lost her mother at a very young age and it was her father who raised her.

In order to avoid Elizabeth being bullied after remarrying, Weatherby did not remarry for so many years. In fact, with his identity, status and wealth, I wonder how many people would be willing to marry him.

Her father was so good to her, and Elizabeth was so sentimental, how could she not love him? Naturally, she couldn't help feeling sad.

"Elizabeth, why don't we change the environment?" Xiang Nan said to Elizabeth, "Let's go back to England, or go somewhere else and relax."

He knew that traveling can help people relax. And Elizabeth herself prefers to be active rather than quiet. After the school in Jamaica was built, she volunteered to teach there.

"What about your job?" Elizabeth asked worriedly.

"I'll just resign." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said, "I used to be a rear admiral in the Royal Navy, and I could expect to become a lieutenant general, admiral, or even a naval marshal, and be granted a title and fiefdom.

No matter what he did now, he was only the sheriff of Jamaica, which was the highest position he had reached. And now that Weatherby was dead, they would definitely have to get a new head of state, and by then, it was unknown whether they could get along well.

So I want to quit my job and take you around. We have the money and time. What do you think?"

He was not prepared to take over the Jamaican job, it held no appeal for him.

In fact, if it weren't for the fact that they were well-matched and Governor Weatherby was willing to marry his daughter to him, Xiang Nan would have resigned from the post of Sheriff of Port Royal long ago.

Elizabeth heard this and nodded with a smile.

……

Afterwards, Xiang Nan bought a ship and hired a group of sailors, among whom the first mate was Gibbs.

Not only did Xiang Nan have plenty of money, he also inherited the estate of his father Lawrence Norrington.

At the beginning of the Seven Years' War, Lawrence Norrington was accidentally wounded while commanding a battle with the French Navy and eventually died for his country.

After his death, all of his property of 200,000 pounds was inherited by Xiang Nan. Elizabeth also inherited all of Weatherby's estate, about 100,000 pounds, which was a huge sum of money at the time.

Therefore they are fully capable of traveling around the world without worrying about money.

Under Xiang Nan's guidance, they set out from Jamaica, first headed west to the Yucatan Peninsula, and then headed north along the coastline of North America.

This makes it convenient to replenish fresh water and food, and also allows you to enjoy the scenery along the way.

Xiang Nan and his team first arrived in Cancun on the Yucatan Peninsula, where there are not only beautiful beaches, but also the magnificent Quetzalcoatl Pyramid.

Elizabeth wanted to visit the pyramids after hearing about them. Although she had been in Jamaica for a long time, she had never been anywhere except Port Royal.

However, the sailors advised her not to take the risk because although there was a temple of Quetzalcoatl in the jungle, no one had ever found it, and all those who went to look for it died without exception, so they advised Elizabeth not to take the risk.

Elizabeth was very adventurous and naturally refused to listen.

Xiang Nan also decided to fulfill her wish, but in order to prevent casualties, he decided to go alone with Elizabeth and told the first mate Gibbs that he only had to wait for them in Cancun for seven days. If they didn't come back within seven days, the ship would be his.

For this reason, Xiang Nan even swore an oath to him in the name of the goddess of the sea. …

Xiang Nan then packed his bags with Elizabeth and walked through the dense jungle to find the temple of Quetzalcoatl.

The jungle was filled with dense vegetation, with trees next to trees and vines connected to vines. There was no path at all, so Xiang Nan could only swing his machete to clear a path.

Not only are there many mosquitoes, flies and poisonous snakes in the jungle, but there are even local Mayans guarding the Quetzalcoatl Pyramid to prevent outsiders from breaking in.

Therefore, Xiang Nan and Elizabeth experienced many hardships along the way. They were bitten by mosquitoes, almost bitten by poisonous snakes, and even hunted by Mayans...

But Elizabeth was not afraid at all. Instead, her desire to win and adventure was aroused, and they finally arrived at the Quetzalcoatl Pyramid successfully.

Of course, all this is thanks to Xiang Nan.

For example, those mosquitoes can transmit very serious diseases, such as malaria, encephalitis, dengue fever, yellow fever, filariasis, etc.

If most people got these diseases in the jungle, they basically had no choice but to wait for death. But although Elizabeth was bitten by mosquitoes, she was quickly cured by Xiang Nan before the disease took effect.

Poisonous snakes, scorpions, and spiders hidden in the dark were also discovered and eliminated by Xiang Nan in advance. As for being chased by the Mayans, they were able to escape successfully, which was entirely due to Xiang Nan's credit.

It was because he used his true Qi to deflect the arrows that, even though it looked like a hail of bullets and arrows, and there were many dangers, and one could be shot to death if not careful, but at least not a single arrow hit the two of them, and they were able to escape safely in the end.

Elizabeth thought it was luck, but in fact it was Xiang Nan who silently protected her.

……

"Oh my God, this is really an unparalleled art!" Standing at the foot of the Quetzalcoatl Pyramid, Elizabeth said as she looked at the magnificent building.

She couldn't imagine that those Indians, who looked so backward and primitive, could actually build such majestic and huge buildings in the jungle. It was really incredible.

"Yes, it is totally unimaginable how this temple was built. It is really amazing." Xiang Nandu exclaimed.

"Let's climb up and take a look." Elizabeth said excitedly.

"I think we should not do it. This is the temple of Kukul, the feathered serpent god. Legend has it that only Mayan priests can enter." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said, "We are outsiders. It will be dangerous to go up."

"It should be okay." Elizabeth was eager to try, "Let's go, let's go up, I have a vague feeling that there seems to be something up there, calling us."

"Then you can't go up there. Maybe there are ghosts up there. Who knows?" Xiang Nan stopped him again.

"That's even more worth seeing." Elizabeth said excitedly, "I haven't seen a ghost yet, nor have I seen any strange events. If I can really encounter a ghost, then it will really open my eyes."

"Well, if I don't accompany you up, I think you will regret it for the rest of your life." Xiang Nan said with a smile.

"You really understand my thoughts." Elizabeth smiled, and then climbed up with Xiang Nan.

They climbed up the steps to the top of the Quetzalcoatl Pyramid.

"Wow~" Elizabeth was shocked to see hundreds of white bones on the top of the pyramid, piled up like a small mountain.

So many skulls with empty eye sockets staring at them silently made people feel creepy.

Elizabeth was totally unprepared to see so many skeletons, and her legs went weak with fear. If Xiang Nan hadn't caught her in time, she would have almost rolled off the pyramid.
