Treasure hunt begins in England

Chapter 224 Unexpected opponent

Although Liang En kept talking about how good his three ravens were on the way here, and these three ravens had shown their faces on a certain network program before and showed some of their abilities, others still felt that these three ravens were so good. A small animal that lives in a city may not be good at this kind of wild action.

Therefore, after the ravens were released, everyone got together and began to discuss how to scout those locations, and Daniel said that he could notify people in several surrounding villages to look for them together.

"It's too dangerous." Liang En shook his head and said. "The other party has a lot of bandits, and they are the kind of guys who may shoot at any time. What you said in the past was too risky."

"We are not afraid of taking risks." Daniel said with a wry smile and shook his head. "Unlike the Copts in the city, our life in this place is not good."

"Especially the various previous conflicts have seriously damaged our lives. Because we want to prevent being attacked, we must draw a large number of people to carry out defensive work. This will naturally reduce or raise the income of sheep and camels."

"While peace has now come to the land, the problems of the past still affect us, so for us, we are willing to take certain risks in order to increase income."

"One of those big birds has come back." Just as Daniel was talking about the situation here, a young man outside suddenly shouted, it turned out that the ravens that were assigned to investigate the nearest points at this time had already been completed. The task has returned.

"Let's not talk about whether to send people or not, let's see if there is any valuable information in the photos my little guy brought back." Liang En said as he took off the miniature camera from the raven's neck, and then Connected to the computer and watched.

"It's so clear." Daniel said looking at the photos downloaded from the camera to the computer in surprise, because these photos were obviously much better than he imagined.

Before, he always thought that these ravens were not very smart, no matter how smart they were, but he didn't expect that the photos taken by the camera equipped with GPS were very valuable after being taken to the destination by the ravens.

"The other party should not be stationed at these locations." After simply reading the situation in the photo, both Daniel's father and the security personnel who followed Liang En and the others made the same judgment.

Although the location of the group of people was not found, everyone's morale was suddenly aroused.Because judging from the photos brought back by the first raven, they are indeed capable of observation.

Sure enough, when the second raven returned, they found some clues about the activities of a large group of outsiders from the second batch of photos.

"This place is wrong." They were looking at three photos taken in the wadi, and in a photo of a cliff, Daniel's father saw something unusual.

"If I remember correctly, this dry river is usually not visited here because of the remote location, the poor route, and the desolate surroundings, but now the wheel marks can be clearly seen on the edge of the cliff."

"It can be determined that this is the car mark left by the Tatra heavy truck, and the locals would never drive this kind of heavy truck." A security guard quickly made an analysis after seeing the photos.

"Judging from the clarity of the ruts on the ground and other traces shown in the photos, the vehicle that left the ruts will not pass there for more than a week, and it is very likely that it is the target we are looking for now."

"Can you let these big birds investigate this place again." After a brief analysis, the security guard turned to look at Liang En and asked. "Only this one photo really doesn't reveal much information."

"They need a good rest, so the next time they go out may be at night." Liang En said while cutting the chicken that a child handed him just now into thin strips and feeding it to the two ravens who just came back.

"The ravens, unlike most birds, are nocturnal. So the three of them could wait until it got dark and then go out and search the spot with those larger infrared cameras."

After another 40 minutes, the last raven returned successfully, but like the first raven, it did not bring any suspicious information.

Therefore, now that the suspicious location has been identified, the next step is to see how the only suspicious location is detected at night.

While waiting for the dark, Liang En and Mr. Scout began to look at the various items and photos sent by the villagers before, and tried to sort out valuable things from them.

"Look at this, this graffiti looks very interesting, do you think it is useful for us?" After looking at the computer screen for a while, Scudder suddenly said excitedly.

Hearing the other party's voice, Liang En immediately leaned over, and saw a very simple-looking graffiti on his screen, which showed two Egyptian longhorn cattle carrying two bags, and someone seemed to be yelling behind them.

The more valuable content is below the pattern, where there is a line of very vague text.

Although the shooter has tried to clean up the dust covering it as much as possible, but the degree of weathering allows only about half of the content to be seen.

"Order... the mine... go to Memphis." Liang En translated the words that could be seen clearly, but unfortunately there were too many weathered parts, so that he couldn't figure out what the sentence meant.

But even so, Liang En could roughly deduce something.For example, if the words mine and Memphis are combined with those graffiti, it can be judged that these things should be left by people who transported locally mined items to the capital.

"Let me see where this place is—" Liang En quickly called up the location where this photo was taken, and then marked it on the map with the surrounding situation at hand.

To his surprise, when he marked the location, he found that the location of the graffiti was also in the dry river valley, and it was just downstream of the valley where the raven found something unexpected.

If you guessed right, the mine at that time should be located in the upper reaches of these dry valleys.Workers will transport the mined ore along the flat bottom of the valley to the sea, and then ship it back to Egypt.

Due to the reason of the Nile River, when the ancient Egyptian civilization was just born, they were already good at using boats to transport various items, personnel or fishing.

Although it is said that a ship directly woven from papyrus, or tied with papyrus ropes and planks, it is even difficult to cross the calm inland sea of ​​the Red Sea.But along the coast, it is still possible to drive back to the capital on the Nile from the west of the Sinai Peninsula.

Therefore, for the ancient Egyptians who needed to transport heavy ores, except for a small part of precious ores that would be transported through land trade routes, other things were basically transported by land and water.

And this graffiti allowed Liang En and the others to be basically sure that there might be ancient Egyptian ruins in this river valley, and even the group of looters only went to dig there because they knew something they didn't know.
