Treasure hunt begins in England

Chapter 439 Reaching the destination

The discovery of the ancient Mayan ruins boosted everyone's morale. Although this kind of ruins did not determine anything, it greatly increased the possibility of them finding the mine.

Their goal is to be located in a very hidden valley deep in the river valley, because according to everyone's analysis, although the valley is hidden, it can be transported by the river, and there is enough flat land for a large number of people to station.

You must know that mining in ancient times required a lot of manpower and material resources, so when choosing a location for mining, you must consider personnel stationing and material transportation.

Now they are only a little over 3 kilometers away from the valley in a straight line, but considering the complicated road conditions along the way, they think it may take a day to cross this distance.

This is why they stopped two or three hours before dark, because it is obviously a very stupid thing to camp in an unknown rainforest at night, and this platform halfway up the mountain is the place before heading to that valley. The last campsite.

To be honest, it sounds exaggerated to walk a distance of 10km for two days, but this is very common in the tropical rainforest, because there are too many roads to bypass, and too many places are very difficult to pass.

The tropical rainforest is obviously a very lively place. Even at night, you can hear the calls of animals one after another. Some of the sounds are a little bit intrusive. Fortunately, they have enough people to watch the night, so everyone has a good rest that night.

In the early morning of the next day, they finished packing up in the white mist and had breakfast, leaving two security guards and a guide to guard the camp and the animals, and the rest of them set off against the dawn and the dissipating mist .

Unlike those areas yesterday where people were still active and there were even a few logging camps, the next journey was to advance in the real tropical rainforest, and in some places even had to use machetes and axes to open the way.

A damp smell with a bit of rotten smell rushed towards the face, and a few brightly colored birds jumped from time to time on the surrounding tall trees.

As the camp behind them was covered by dense trees, the only thing they could use to judge the direction was the altimeter and compass in their hands, as well as the GPS navigation equipment that was not working at all times.

As the distance from the target location gets closer, the sky that can be seen above the head becomes more and more mottled.There are enough tall and thin trees surrounded by several people to hug each other.

This place has completely belonged to the original forest in various senses. Perhaps since the ancient Mayans completely abandoned this mine hundreds of years ago, no one has come here again.

A group of twelve people overcame thorns and thorns, and made hard progress in the forest full of various shrubs, vines, weeds and wild animals. When the sun passed the highest point and began to set, they finally arrived at a place only separated by a hill from the valley.

This is a highland on the river bank. Because the river bank is made of stone, there are not many plants and dangerous wild animals on it, so it is just the last place for everyone to repair before arriving at the destination.

"I didn't expect you to be the one in the best condition among us." Fan Meng said while squatting there to let Liang En use a lighter to find a way to remove the leech on his neck.

At the same time, the surrounding security personnel and the two guides also looked at Liang En and Jeanne with admiration.

The reason why these people showed such expressions was because they were a little worried at the beginning whether Liang En and Joan of Arc, who had no experience in living in the rainforest, could keep up with everyone.

In fact, from the very beginning, this group of security personnel was prepared that Liang En and the others would not be able to run away, and even made many plans to deal with this situation.

After all, the information they got said that Liang En was a scholar, and in the eyes of the security personnel, even a scholar who often went to the wild might not be suitable for advancing in the tropical rainforest.

But what I didn't expect was that although Liang En and Joan of Arc could clearly see that they were not good at advancing in the tropical rainforest at the beginning, they became more and more proficient later.

What made them feel extremely admirable was that even professionals like them sometimes couldn't fully abide by some rules that needed to be followed when moving in the tropical rainforest, but Liang En and the others did it.

For example, because of the heat, they subconsciously unbuttoned their skirts, so many of the security personnel had their necks bitten by some poisonous insects, and even Fan Meng had a leech that fell from the sky on his neck.

But Liang En and Joan of Arc were not bitten by any mosquitoes, mainly because they were able to wrap themselves tightly in this extremely hot and humid environment, so that the poisonous insects could not find a place to bite .

Being able to do this was indeed related to Liang En's firm will, but more importantly, their strengthened bodies allowed them to withstand this extremely hot and humid environment.

But in the eyes of other uninformed people, it is definitely a manifestation of Liang En's firm will, and naturally they can gain everyone's admiration.

Another benefit brought to them by the strengthened body is that it greatly speeds up their learning speed, so along the way, Liang En and the others quickly learned how to move forward in this tropical rainforest.

It has to be said that the experience summed up by countless people with their own experience and even life is indeed very effective, but to fully abide by these regulations requires sufficient perseverance and physical fitness, which is not something ordinary people can do.

"Let's release the drone now." Liang En said to a security guard after applying potions to each other and grabbing some bugs attached to the skin. "This distance should be able to see the valley."

The young security guard with Mohican short hair in the style of the 101st Airborne Division nodded, then took out a box and took out a civilian drone from Huaxia,

Then it lifted off carefully by remote control, and left the rainforest close to the gap between the canopy, and finally hovered at a height of less than ten meters above the top of the canopy.

For the former French Foreign Legion soldier, operating this simple drone is a very skilled job, because he also used the same drone in his previous service.

Don't look at these European countries' boycott of Chinese goods, but for these soldiers who are close to the battlefield, as long as they can save their lives, it is a good thing, and they don't care where these things are produced.

Soon, the drone was over the valley and ventured down through the bushes, and as the drone passed through the canopy, they quickly saw what was going on in the valley.

Unsurprisingly, the valley has been covered by a variety of tropical rainforest plants, and there is no trace of human beings on the ground at all, but some blue-green can be seen with the naked eye in the surrounding river. stones.

Although those stones looked broken and small in size, Liang En could still tell that these stones were indeed what they were looking for.

"I think we are already close to our destination." Liang En looked at the pattern sent back from the screen and said with a smile, "It seems that we have indeed found the right place today."
