When Zhu Yu saw that the camera was still flashing and pointed at him, he had already guessed that someone was watching him!

All his previous actions had fallen into the eyes of others. Zhu Yu even guessed that others should have known by now that he had found something here!

Otherwise, it would be impossible to keep an eye on yourself!

He made a decision immediately and said to the staff member:

"If I find a treasure outside, does it count as one of them? Do I need to go through any additional procedures to dig it out?"

The treasure hunting area that Eric mentioned earlier on the high platform is within the wall and the castle.

Zhu Yu remembered this very clearly.

Now that he has found something outside the wall, he must be worried that if this land does not belong to Eric or some treasure hunter association, he will have to go through other procedures in full view of the public.

That would be very troublesome.

The staff member was also a little surprised. He was afraid that he had not heard clearly and asked:

"Sir, are you talking about discovering something outside?"

"Yes. It's where I was just now." Zhu Yu pointed to the area, "I think there should be something hidden there."

"Okay, I'll confirm first, and then report to the higher up now." The staff member was very conscientious and registered Zhu Yu's No. 28 plate first, then took out the walkie-talkie and started reporting.

Zhu Yu could tell that the staff didn't know whether the outside of the wall was within the scope of this treasure hunt competition.

But he is not very worried. If it is, of course it is good, then dig normally. If not, then he will dig it himself - he cannot let this fall into the hands of others.

The staff quickly put down the walkie-talkie and said to Zhu Yu:

"Sir, Mr. Eric will come over right away. He said that he has to see it in person before he can be sure. But as far as I know, a large part of the land outside the wall also belongs to the owner of the castle, so please don't worry."

The staff did not leave after finishing speaking, but patiently waited with Zhu Yu.

After a while, Eric, the chairman of the Treasure Hunters Association, hurried to the gate.

Seeing Zhu Yu, a smile immediately appeared on his face:

"Mr. Zhu Yu, I didn't expect you to make a discovery here. It's really surprising——"

Zhu Yu didn't expect that Eric actually knew him. He shook hands with the other person and reiterated the question he just asked the staff.

Eric smiled after hearing this and said:

"Don't worry, Mr. Zhu Yu, the land within one kilometer of this castle belongs to me, so even if it's outside the wall, it's still within the scope of this treasure hunt competition - you helped me solve a big problem this time!"

It's not like Eric has never been in this castle before, but he did not find any large-scale metal reaction.

So he held a treasure hunting contest to see if his idea was correct.

Now that Zhu Yu did this, he immediately understood that his previous thinking was somewhat limited.

Who stipulates that wealth must be within this wall?

Maybe hundreds of years ago, there might have been buildings outside the wall, but later due to war or other reasons, the buildings were gone, but the treasures buried inside should be there!…

Zhu Yu didn't know that Eric had put so much thought into it. He smiled and said:

"In this case, I will mark this location and start digging."

"Okay, okay." Eric was a little curious and called a few staff members to help him, and he also followed him to watch.

The camera was also looking at this place, and Zhu Yu didn't care about it anymore.

The soil here is relatively solid and cannot be shoveled with a shovel. With Zhu Yu's consent, the staff called in a small excavator to dig up the soil, exposing the stone slabs underneath.

Seeing the slate, Eric's smile became even brighter.

Of course, it's a pity. But this castle is rented, and the time is about to expire. He didn't find the treasure himself. Now in the treasure hunting competition, Zhu Yu has a great chance of finding the treasure, which can be regarded as a gift to the Treasure Hunters Association.

Developed a reputation.

Although the treasure belongs to Zhu Yu, as long as Zhu Yu is drawn into this association, all the fame and fortune will remain in the association.

What a good thing!

The staff helped Zhu Yu pry open the stone slab, revealing the dark steps going down below.

"There is a high probability that there is a basement down here." One staff member guessed.

Zhu Yu took out his flashlight and looked down and said:

"It could also be a secret passage," he straightened up and pointed at the castle, "leading there!"

Eric suddenly realized:

"It must be so! This makes sense! If the castle is besieged, the people inside can come out of the secret passage and come outside the wall."

An escape route!

"Don't rush in yet." Eric is also a veteran. "There may be poisonous gas in here. Let it dissipate for a while."

Zhu Yu nodded. In fact, he was not very afraid of poisonous gases. After his physical condition was improved, he could hold his breath for a long time.

However, it is better to hide your clumsiness than to reveal your skill, so just go with the flow.

After a while, Zhu Yu took out his lighter, took out the paper from his pocket, lit it, and threw it away.

The flames on the paper weakened a little, but were not completely extinguished. They were still burning under the steps. Zhu Yu said:

"Oxygen is available, I'll go down and take a look."

As he spoke, he walked down the steps with a shovel in one hand and a flashlight in the other.

Because Zhu Yu did not invite him, Eric did not go down. The staff was also waiting outside.

At this time, the commotion here has attracted the attention of many people.

Some treasure hunters who had not gained anything came out of the gate and came here, intending to watch the excitement.

Gathering to watch the fun has never been a special case for the Chinese, and these foreigners are no exception.

Zhu Yu walked down the stairs for eighteen steps with a flashlight and reached the bottom.

He roughly estimated that it was about three meters above the ground.

The bottom is indeed not a basement, but a passage leading forward - and judging from the direction on the ground, it is probably leading to the castle.

After taking a breath and realizing that there was nothing wrong, Zhu Yu walked forward.

The stone walls on both sides of the passage were very damp, with little drops of water seeping out in some places.

The top of the passage is also covered with stone slabs. Occasionally, a piece of grass roots emerges from the cracks in the stone slabs, but they are withered.

After walking forward for about ten meters, there was a collapse.

The stone slab fell down, and there was still some soil, but it was not penetrated.

Zhu Yu moved the stone slab away, cleaned up the soil, and revealed a hole that a person could drill through. Then he saw that the space in front of him became larger...

Here, it should not be within the scope of the wall.

This is an expanded stone room, with four large black iron-clad wood boxes placed inside.

The stone room with both ends collapsed, and half of the stone slab rested on a box. The semicircular lid of the box was smashed, revealing the golden stuff inside.

gold.

Zhu Yu stepped forward and grabbed a handful of gold coins from the football-sized hole.

This gold coin is much more delicate than the gold coins fished out from the bottom of the sea. It has a man's head on it, and the details are very obvious. There is text on the back of the gold coin, which Zhu Yu can't understand.

This gold coin weighs more than ten grams and is very round. It is obviously not comparable to the gold coins cut from gold sticks.

Zhu Yu estimated that this one-meter-high box could hold at least nearly a thousand gold coins.

The value of this gold coin is definitely much higher than those found at the bottom of the sea.

Zhu Yu opened another box and found that it was also gold coins.

He was a little disappointed.

If it's all gold coins, then there really isn't much to look forward to.

The third box is locked.

But this was not a problem for Zhu Yu. He used a shovel to smash off the severely corroded lock.

Opening the lid, the jewelry inside made Zhu Yu smile.

These jewelry styles are relatively classical, and they look very exquisite. There are pearls, gemstones, and diamonds; there are necklaces, bracelets, and rings...

Zhu Yu collected the box directly.

In the fourth box, there were piles of parchment books. Zhu Yu picked up one and looked through it.

can't read.

Zhu Yu counted and found that there were more than a dozen books. They were a bit moldy, but overall they were in good condition.

At this time, Eric's voice came from behind:

"Mr. Zhu Yu, is it safe? Is there any harvest?"
