Chapter 467 Pirate Treasure 4
Seeing these skeletons on the ground, I couldn't help but turn my head to Bihan and said, "That's the case? These people are different from those in front. The ones in front were killed by hidden weapons, but these people were killed by themselves."
Bihan also looked at it and said, "These people have died for a long time. Their clothes are gone. Moreover, you see, there are still some gold and silver scattered on the ground. The so-called birds die for food and people die for money. I guess these people, like those outside, came in together at first, but later they killed each other for these jewelry."
I also looked down and found that these gold and silver objects were scattered on the ground, but the quantity was not very large. Moreover, there was no rule in the scattering of gold and silver. Some of them were not next to the corpse. I looked at some weapons on the ground, mainly knives, but the styles were somewhat different. So I immediately bent down and picked up two, weighed the weights with my hands, giving me a very obvious feeling, that is, the weights of the two knives were different. Then I looked at the styles of the knives, and there were also great differences in styles.
I handed the two knives to Bihan and said, "These two knives are different, and many of them on the ground are the same as these two knives, so I guess these people should be two gangs of people. After they came in together, they started fighting and many died!"
After comparing the differences between the two knives, Bihan nodded, placed the knives on the ground, and said, "It seems that there should be a place where they buried their treasures nearby. Because they are already very close, these people died here. And our missing group of soldiers should also be nearby!"
I nodded, turned to the soldiers and said, "Let's search carefully to see if there are any secret doors and mechanisms around it, and be careful of hidden weapons."
After hearing my order, all the soldiers immediately spread around and began to look for secret doors. At the same time, they continued to walk forward. After turning a corner, a large hall appeared in front of us, but this hall was different from the front. Relatively speaking, it was more like a place for daily gatherings. Of course, night pearls were embedded on the four walls, but there were also braziers and other objects scattered on the ground, and there were even more skeletons here, many of them were already; they were all over the place, and it seemed that there were really many people fighting here at the beginning.
After our front part came in, the torch immediately shone the entire hall into the daytime, and also allowed me to see the situation in front of me again. At this time, I also found that there were not ordinary people in the bloody battle here, but many, and there were even more gold, silver and jewelry scattered on the ground.
"Prince!"
A soldier suddenly shouted, then handed something on it and said, "Look!"
As a result, when I came to see, I found that it was a burnt torch. I could recognize it at a glance. It was the torch equipped by our soldiers. I then tried the temperature of the torch with my hands. I couldn't feel any heat. It seemed that it had been extinguished for a lot of time, which means that the disappearing soldier had no torch when he arrived here.
I handed the torch to Bihan and said, "What do you think?"
Bihan thought for a while, then looked up at the surroundings and said, "There is no exit around here. It seems that this place was a hall at the beginning, and we only saw gold and silver here. It is very likely that there should be their treasure here, and our soldiers must have disappeared here, asking everyone to look for it."
I nodded and immediately looked for someone to find him. At the same time, I followed Bihan along the surroundings, and more than 100 people were lit torches to find him. Of course, we soon arrived at a secret door. Although the stone used in the secret door was the same as the surrounding ones, the gap above did not escape our magic eye. However, we pushed it hard, but the door remained unmoved, which made us a little depressed.
Since there is a door, there will be a mechanism to open the door. So we started to look around, and I also started looking around. Although I don’t know much about the mechanism, the so-called mechanism is simply a kind of machinery. In the absence of motors and other machinery, the mechanism needs to be activated by external forces, such as the power of nature. And like the buttons on the machinery, the mechanism needs to be opened, and there are also switches and other things.
Suddenly, I realized that no one had been here for a long time. Except for the eighth group that disappeared yesterday, if they disappeared here, they might have found the mechanism. After moving, there must be no dust near the mechanism. So I immediately asked everyone to gather together, for fear that they would disturb the scene because of their movements, but I carefully searched for it. Not long after, not far from the door, I saw a slightly protruding stone. The stone was very smooth, but it was not the kind that people entered the stone wall, but the kind that people had been touched for a long time. And there were tiny gaps around it. If I didn't look carefully, I would definitely not be able to see it.
I reached up and pressed hard, and the stone was pressed in immediately, and I heard Kaka's sound. The stone door we saw slowly opened upwards.
"Everyone retreated!"
I shouted quickly, really afraid that something sharp arrows or something would be shot on the wall.
Fortunately, after the sound of the kaka was finished, no sharp arrows appeared. I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. At the same time, someone's cry for help came from inside.
Some soldiers were happy and rushed up quickly, while Bihan shouted quickly: "Wait!"
Everyone was stunned and looked at her.
Bihan pointed at the stone door and said, "Press the stone door with stones and go in."
I couldn't help but wonder: "Why? There is nothing strange about this stone gate!"
"But have you ever thought about it?"
Bihan turned his head to look at me, and then said, "Why can't these soldiers come in and come out? It must be because as soon as this man enters, the stone gate has to be closed by itself, and it can only be opened from outside!"
I nodded. For safety reasons, I immediately called a few soldiers to bring in some big stones to block the stone door. Fortunately, there were many stone benches and tables, so I was moved to block the stone door, leaving some passages to pass by.
Then, I left dozens of soldiers guarding the distance, and the rest followed me in.
After entering the door, there was a small hall, but the scene inside made us startled: there were more corpses inside than outside, and many of them were still incomplete, and there were many deep scratches and traces of swords on the walls near the door. On the ground, there were many broken swords, and in addition, there were gold and silver all over the ground.
I suddenly had an ominous premonition in my heart. At this moment, a soldier accidentally stepped on one of the stone slabs, and the stone slab sank gently. At this moment, the stone gate that had just risen slowly immediately fell. Fortunately, there was Bihan's suggestion just now, and the stone gate was immediately blocked by the stone and stopped coming down.
Everyone suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and I looked at Bihan with even more gratitude. If it weren't for her, we would probably have gone out now. Although there were people outside to help, it would be a very troublesome thing to go out.
At the same time, I roughly know why the people here have the same way of death. It is probably that they discovered the treasure, and then the two teams fought and rushed forward, and ended up in the mechanism. Since this mechanism was to be opened outside, of course, the people who came in could not get out, so there was a situation where people could eat people. Until the last person died inside, all of these people died here.
"Man dies for money!"
I couldn't help but shake my head.
Bihan gently held my hand and said, "Go in and take a look, our soldiers seem to be inside!"
I nodded and walked into the inside with the people. After walking through a small corridor, we saw another stone gate. Just like the one on the road, we easily found the mechanism and opened the stone gate. The moment we opened it, several people rushed out of it. The soldiers in front immediately helped them. When I looked carefully, they were the ten soldiers who disappeared.
The soldiers who rushed out saw me appearing in the crowd, immediately struggled to walk in front of me, knelt on the ground with a thump, and said, "Prince!"
I immediately helped the front one up and said to the soldiers behind, "Everyone gets up, don't say anything now, have a good rest!"
The leading soldier shook his head and said, "Prince, we really didn't expect you to come back, which surprised us so much!" Then he pointed inside and said, "There are a lot of treasures inside!"
"Treasure?"
I was stunned, and then walked in and saw that this was a hall of about 100 square meters. In a corner of the hall, there were a large amount of gold, silver and treasures. As for the quantity, I don’t know now, because there were too many, and I was just like a vault.
I patted their shoulders hard and said with a smile: "That's great. With this treasure, I guess we can't use up our base! I immediately sent the fleet to ask them to ship some wooden boxes to ship all the treasures!"
Immediately someone went out to spread the news, and I commanded the officers and soldiers under me to start cleaning up the bones. Regardless of whether they are right or wrong, now everyone is dead and buried in peace.
Not long after, Xia Yutian brought a group of soldiers and a large number of wooden boxes to feel the place. As soon as he saw me, he was happy: "Prince, I heard that there are a lot of treasures here!"
