Chapter 2503: Change scenery
, The fastest update of the latest chapters in the world of treasure hunt!
Everyone turned their heads and looked around and scanned every corner around, especially the steep cliff not far ahead. Everyone took a closer look from top to bottom.
However, everyone did not find the slightest shadow of the Golden City, nor did they see any traces left by humans, such as Mayan hieroglyphs and patterns, or certain architectural relics and statues.
Even the road built by the ancient Mayans under everyone's feet is hidden under the ground, covered by mud and dense vegetation, and there is no real thing in sight.
Cole and Gray Wolf, who came here to explore with Ye Tian before, were also confused and did not understand where the legendary Golden City was.
Seeing that everyone's curiosity had been lifted high, Ye Tian smiled and said loudly:
"Since I said that the Golden City may be close at hand, of course there is a basis. I am not talking nonsense. The secret is hidden on the cliff not far in front. But what exactly is this secret needs to be explored.
When I took Cole and the others all the way to explore here before, I found that the towering trees in front of the cliff are actually a small maze, and there are many deadly traps in this maze, which can be said to be very dangerous.
From this point of view, the towering trees in front of the cliff were probably planted here deliberately, and the people who planted these towering trees are, in all likelihood, the King of Copan, who mysteriously disappeared in history.
Of course, due to the long period of time, the trees planted by the Copan royal family have not survived until now. After more than a thousand years of change and reproduction, the situation that everyone sees now is formed.
Many of the traps initially arranged by the Copan royal family have failed. In some traps, towering trees have even grown to completely fill the pits. Even so, some traps have remained until now.
Because the life in this rainforest is constantly changing and multiplying, the maze originally arranged by the Copan royal family has basically been destroyed and has little effect. Only an empty shelf is left, and it is difficult to trap people.
After discovering this, I left Cole and Gray Wolf behind and entered this ancient labyrinth on my own to explore. In this labyrinth, I found some ancient traps and removed them.
I also made clear signs that could not be dismantled, so as to prevent everyone from accidentally stepping into those traps; the end of this maze is the cliff in front. On the cliff, I found clues about the Golden City."
Hearing his words, Cole and Gray Wolf were suddenly stunned, and their eyes were full of admiration.
The others were very excited, their eyes shone straight.
As soon as Ye Tian's voice fell, Professor Delgado couldn't wait to say:
"Steven, in that case, let's not stand here, and take everyone to the cliff side to take a look. What are the clues you said about the Golden City?"
Not only him, but everyone else had the same idea. Everyone looked at Ye Tian with eyes full of expectation.
Ye Tian looked at these guys, then smiled and shook his head and said:
"I can take everyone over to see, but there should not be too many people in the past. The road leading to the cliff is not wide, and it is very tortuous. There are many traps on both sides of the road. It is better to be careful."
"No problem, Steven, just a few of us will go over and take a look."
Hernando continued to say, and circled the people here.
Ye Tian groaned for a while before nodding and saying:
"This is also okay. Except for me and Matisse, each of you will have a representative. Come with me to see the situation over the cliff. The others will wait here first."
The words were over, and Professor Hernando and Professor Delgado nodded together, without any disagreement.
In a blink of an eye, candidates have been announced, namely Hernando representing Honduras, Professor Delgado representing Columbia University, and the representative from UNESCO.
Next, Ye Tian told these guys a few words and asked them to bring some necessary protective equipment, and then took these guys to the cliff in front.
Under the leadership of Ye Tian, Professor Delgado and Hernando followed him. Five people lined up from the back of Matisse and walked forward step by step.
They first walked along the marked road and saw they were about to reach the end. When there was no way to go, Ye Tian suddenly turned to the left and bypassed a towering tree.
Turning around the corner, another marked road appeared before their eyes.
Compared with the road that was perpendicular to the cliff before, this path is a bit narrower and winding, extending to the depths of the rainforest.
When he walked past this towering tree, Ye Tian suddenly stretched out the jungle machete in his hand and pushed aside the bushes beside the tree.
Following his movements, a mottled stone sculpture suddenly appeared in front of everyone.
This is a statue of the Feathered Serpent God, its shape is quite exaggerated, about two meters high, very close to the big tree, and it looks like it is relying on that big tree.
Most of the vines and vegetation that were originally entangled and attached to this statue have been cleaned up. There are some sawdust and moss hanging on the statue, which does not look good.
The person who cleaned up this statue was naturally Ye Tian.
Seeing this ancient granite statue, Professor Delgado immediately stopped and admired it.
They even wanted to go to the statue and study it carefully, but Ye Tian stopped it in time.
"Professor Delgado, you'd better stand still and admire this ancient statue. Don't try to walk over. In front of this statue, there is a bottomless pit.
When I first discovered this statue, I almost got hit. In addition to this bottomless pit, there were two giant poisonous centipedes entrenched in this feathered snake **** statue, and I shot them to death!
The main purpose of our visit this time is the clues about the Golden City on the cliff in front, this ancient Quetzalcoatl statue, and other things. We can do research later."
With that, he used a machete to open a bush in front of the statue.
The next moment, a dark hole appeared in front of everyone.
Just as Ye Tian said, this pit is not bottomed out, it seems to go straight to hell, and it is frightening to look at it.
"hiss--!"
Professor Delgado and them all took a breath, everyone was terrified.
When they woke up, these guys hurriedly took a look at the quilted snake **** statue that acted as a bait to lead people into the trap, and then followed Ye Tian to continue walking forward.
It didn't go far, there was no way to go, and another towering tree stood in front of Ye Tian and the others.
Ye Tian paused here, then pointed to the sunken ground on the right, and said to the guys following:
"According to my guess, there should have been an organ trap there, but because of the age too old, that organ trap has long since failed, and later turned into a quagmire.
With the passage of time ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ the quagmire is also changing, eventually being filled with dirt and dead branches and leaves, and turned into a solid ground, just a little lower than the surrounding ground"
With that said, Ye Tian stepped out, bypassed the towering tree in front of him, and moved in another direction.
Change the scene.
As soon as everyone turned around, they saw a path full of flowers, which was pleasing to the eye.
But at this time, Ye Tian's expression became a lot more serious.
"Everyone is following me. There are many highly poisonous plants growing on both sides of this path. It is best not to touch those flowers, flowers, and grasses to avoid accidental poisoning.
In addition to poisonous weeds, there are also many trapping vines here. When I explored this place before, I cut a lot of them, and they will still appear if they are uneven. Please be careful! "
Hearing what Ye Tian said, Hernando, Professor Delgado and others who followed immediately drew out the jungle machete they were carrying with them, and they were ready to fight with the vine.
