America 1881: They Call Me Legend

Chapter 193
Originally, according to Chen Jianqiu's intention, everyone can rest for a while and wait until the next day before setting off.

But everyone said that time does not wait for me, and wasting time is tantamount to wasting life.

Morale can only be followed but not taken away.

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 went into the water first, and he dragged a rope to lead the way, and the people behind could swim all the way through this rope.

They wrapped things that were easy to enter the water with canvas, tied them with ropes to a few people with better water skills, and brought them into the cave.

Everything is going smooth.

It was already evening when a group of people appeared wet at the entrance of the valley.

Now they are all fishy, ​​sour, and smelly.

Chen Jianqiu rolled the lump of glands on each of them fairly.

"Boss, we really don't need to draw our guns." Sean looked at the monsters around him who were staring at him, a little panicked.

When these monsters saw a group of "similar" coming in with the scent of the Venerable, they tilted their heads, a little puzzled.

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

Then stuffed the lump into the black person's pocket.

Sean felt an overwhelming feeling in his stomach.

"Isn't that a lot of peace of mind?" 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 get in and out." Chen Jianqiu turned his head and walked to the front of the line again, "Take care of your 'licking dogs', they might be useful. "

Chen Jianqiu led the crowd 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 whether there were any clues on the stones and vegetation.

But such a thing does not exist.

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

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

In the end, the focus came to the edge of the cliff that Chen Jianqiu had never set foot on before.

Only there is no search.

Everyone came to the edge of the cliff.

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

Below is a deep dark valley. Due to the light, this place belongs to the shady side, and the sun cannot shine. Looking down from above, it is bottomless.

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

There was no sound of objects touching the ground, and this deep valley was like a monster, always ready to devour anything that fell into it.

"Probably not. If there are a lot of treasures to be hidden, how will they transport them?" Holmes shook his head.

The purpose of drawing a treasure map is for myself or my descendants to retrieve it again one day, otherwise why draw a map in a serious manner?

This is the difference between treasure hunting and tomb robbery.

If it is hidden in the deep valley in front of you, there should be a way to go down. It won't be just throwing so much gold directly from the top of the cliff.

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

But I don't know if it's because the time is too long, the traces have been smoothed by the wind and the sun; or the vegetation grows wantonly, covering up all the clues.

In short, nothing.

In this valley, there are hardly any traces of man-made.

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

Holmes sat down on a rock by the cliff with his notebook and human skin map in hand.

A terrible idea appeared in his mind.

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

Everything is right.

Except this is a valley that is almost empty.

Among these people, except for Chen Jianqiu, he is the most concerned about this treasure, not only for the gold, but also for uncovering that period of history, those past events.

He is a geologist and an archaeologist.

However, he now had to face a cruel possibility.

He stared blankly at Chen Jianqiu, his eyes filled with despair:
"Chen, is there a possibility that the treasure mentioned in this treasure map is fake?"

These words were like a stone, dragging everyone's hearts deep into the bottom of the lake.

Sean looked bewildered. The three Chinese boys didn't know much and didn't dare to say anything. The Danny couple stared at the deep valley in a daze.

The seasoned Hanif took a deep breath and offered a more dire scenario:

"Could it be a trap here?"

"Why did the Apache Indians choose to leave halfway? Don't they have any interest in these possible treasures?"

"Why have those Nahuas been reluctant to come here? If there is a treasure, why didn't those who drew this map choose to guard it or take it, but to warn their people with terrible fables away from here?"

Hanif's reasoning was very logical and reasonable. Everyone began to look around vigilantly. This valley, which was originally empty, suddenly became dangerous.

Chen Jianqiu's face was as calm as ever.

According to Hanif, it is a possibility.

The drawer of this human skin map had indeed been here, and then drew a treasure map, and used this as bait to attract enemies to come here, and then buried them here.

Not to mention other things, just those blood-sucking monsters are enough for them to drink a pot.

Good guess.

However, he had already thought of this situation.

Countless nights, in the dead of night, Chen Jianqiu would go through the possible results in his mind based on the information changes.

It's just one of 23 eventual possibilities he envisions.

Chen Jianqiu looked at Holmes. At this time, the geologist looked like an eggplant beaten by frost, with his head downcast.

"Holmes, are all the information you inferred before correct?" Chen Jianqiu asked.

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

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

Chen Jianqiu patted him on the shoulder: "Trust your own judgment."

He whistled once.

Before getting into the water, he let the corn out.

Although nothing could be seen in the cave just now, Chen Jianqiu judged that this valley should not be far from the direction of the lake and waterfall.

Don't know if corn can be found.

The whistle echoed in the valley, and the valley was like a megaphone, amplifying 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 the final answer until the deep valley is searched." Chen Jianqiu left a sentence and walked towards the edge of the cliff again.

He gave Maize an order to let the silly bird go around the deep valley to see if he could find anything useful.

The only pity is that he, the best investigator, has no "common language" with him.

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

The sun has already set below the mountain, and only the afterglow reflects the valley.

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

Not reconciled, he took out the human skin map again.

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

He has long been familiar with the meaning of these words.

Alas, they are all myths, what's so interesting about them.

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

You can already see some stars hanging in the sky. Looking at the sky from this angle is really beautiful.

Suddenly, a black shadow passed before his eyes.

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

It dropped something and it hit Holmes in the face.

That thing is still moving.

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

Everyone was also taken aback.

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

This animal has a pair of wings, covered with a layer of down, its appearance is extremely ugly, with pointed ears, like a mouse without eyes.

Mexican dog-nose bat?

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

Just when everyone hadn't realized what this meant.

They heard a loud noise coming from the direction of the ravine.

One after another, the "dark clouds" that covered the sky and the sun hovered up from the deep valley, covering half of the sky and the afterglow.

The fluttering sound of countless pairs of wings fluttered into one piece, whizzing past the edge of the cliff, and flew out of the valley.

Chen Jianqiu stood on the edge of the cliff with his hands behind his back, staring at the dark cloud:

"We believe that the supreme Feathered Serpent has led us to a new home."

"But whenever the night falls, the God of Darkness will always come like a dark cloud."

"We sincerely pray that we will not enter that boundless darkness again."

Holmes was stunned and remembered that what Chen Jianqiu said was the meaning of the symbols on the human skin picture!
He rushed to the edge of the cliff, looking for the direction where the tens of thousands of bats flew,
He found it.

A cave!Right under their feet!On the wall of the cliff!
