Chapter 2517: Hell swamp

, The fastest update of the latest chapters in the world of treasure hunt!

"Swish"

Accompanied by the small sound of breaking the wind, a black shadow suddenly rushed out of the diagonal thorn, like lightning, and came straight towards Ye Tian's head.

Ye Tian, ​​who was on the move, seemed to have the power of an unknown prophet. The dark shadow just rushed out of the bushes next to him, but the jungle machete in his hand had already been shot horizontally.

"Snapped"

Being unbiased, the back of the jungle machete hit the black shadow, and directly shot the black shadow out, flying towards a towering tree three or four meters away.

In the next moment, the black shadow hung on a horizontal branch, there was no sound, and it was completely dead in an instant.

At this moment, if someone is here and the light conditions are good, he will see that the dark shadow is a very poisonous snake, about one meter long, but its head has been smashed by Ye Tian.

The reason why this venomous snake launched a surprise attack should have been stimulated by the strong light projected by the headlight on Ye Tian's head, and because it was its territory, it was inviolable, so it violently wounded people.

It is a pity that it met Ye Tian this time, and instead of succeeding in the raid, he lost his life.

Ye Tian had encountered attacks like this several times before, and he had already seen no surprises.

Those who tried to attack him in the dark included all kinds of animals living here, as well as all kinds of deadly plants, including poisonous snakes, giant centipedes, and catching vines.

Without exception, the animals and plants that wanted to sneak attack on him were either slapped flying with the back of his jungle machete, or they were chopped to pieces and all died.

While dealing with these guys who secretly attacked him, he didn't forget to explore this dark rainforest, and he was rewarded.

Along the way, he successively discovered seven or eight remains of Mayan empire architecture covered by vines, flowers, trees, and dirt and shrubs.

Like the Komu Kamempos Golden Temple discovered earlier, every architectural relic here is more or less wrapped in gold inside and outside, with golden light.

Perhaps this is the origin of the name of the Mayan Empire Golden City, this is a golden Mayan city, a veritable golden city.

During the Mayan Empire, gold was mainly used for sacrificial activities to offer to the gods and decorate temples instead of trading as currency, so there was a lot of gold here.

In addition to the dizzying large amount of gold, these architectural relics of the Mayan Empire are full of Mayan hieroglyphs, various patterns, and exquisite ornamentation.

Among these characters and patterns, quite a few Ye Tian has never seen them before. They are all characters and patterns discovered for the first time. Obviously they have great historical and cultural research value.

Most of the statues, sacrificial supplies, pottery, and various other antique relics in these historical sites are also carved with Mayan hieroglyphs and patterns, and many of the antique relics are very exquisite.

Only from the brilliant light radiated by the antique cultural relics and the charming halo, Ye Tian can judge with great accuracy which era those antique cultural relics came from and how valuable it is.

Among these antique cultural relics, there is no shortage of valuable top antique cultural relics. Even Ye Tian was eager to look at it and wanted to put all those treasures into his own pocket.

The only pity is that Ye Tian only knew a few Mayan hieroglyphs, and most of the others didn't know it. Naturally, he couldn't understand the meaning of those Mayan hieroglyphs and patterns he saw.

However, this does not prevent him from making accurate judgments.

At this time, he was very clear in his heart that he was witnessing the entire history of the Mayan civilization and the entire process of the Mayan Empire's prosperity, decline, and even demise.

The Mayan hieroglyphs and patterns that appeared in my eyes recorded the history of the entire Mayan Empire. If arranged in chronological order, it would be a Mayan history book.

In addition to the ancient architectural ruins that were built in various periods of the Maya Empire, but were abandoned at this time, and were completely buried and swallowed by this tropical rainforest, he also discovered several large and small treasures.

Most of these treasures are buried near or under the architectural ruins. Most of the treasures are gold and various and colorful gems. Most of these gems are unpolished and still maintain their original appearance.

Just because the age is too old, most of these rough gemstones buried deep underground or covered by dead branches and fallen leaves have lost their original luster. After being excavated, they need to be processed by professional methods.

The total value of these treasures buried deep in the ground and in architectural ruins is amazing, and it can be called an astronomical huge wealth.

But for Ye Tian, ​​these amazing amounts of gold and gems are obviously not as attractive as those top antique cultural relics. Those antique cultural relics are his inevitable goal.

During the exploration, he also found a creepy pit, or swamp.

In the big pit that had long since turned into a swamp, he saw a lot of bones. The ones that were piled up on the top layer were some animal bones, which should have been in the swamp.

But what is piled up below are human skeletons, layered on top of each other, with three or four hundred bones.

The bones were divided into eight or nine layers, and each layer was separated by a thickness of about 20 centimeters of soil. Among them were adult bones, as well as many minors and even baby bones.

Judging from the posture of the bones when they were buried and the scars on the bones, those people were basically buried alive with their hands and feet tied up, and many of them had their leg bones broken.

Obviously, this is a mass grave where the Maya held human sacrifices. The reason why the people who died in this pit were **** with their hands and feet and broken their thigh bones was to prevent them from struggling to escape.

The Golden City of the Mayan Empire is a very special existence. Unlike other Mayan cities, the people sacrificed here are probably not captured prisoners of war or civilians from hostile tribes.

Then there is only one possibility. Those who were sacrificed here and died in this mass grave are most likely the Copan Mayans or even the royal family of the Copan Kingdom that mysteriously disappeared.

And this may be one of the reasons why the Copan Kingdom fell and the Copan royal family mysteriously disappeared in the depths of the rainforest.

Seeing this mass grave used for human sacrifices, even if bold as Ye Tian, ​​he couldn't help but was shocked, and he took two steps back, cold and white hair sweat!

For a moment, he seemed to hear the incomparably stern and desperate wailing of hundreds of Mayans before they died, and he seemed to see the almost crazy Mayan priests dancing around the mass grave!

After seeing this mass grave, he had a new understanding of the bloody, cruel, and inhumane ancient Mayans.

The decline of the glorious and splendid Maya civilization and the demise of the Mayan Empire were not only related to the **** killing of European colonists, but also to the madness of the Maya.

Ye Tian stood on the edge of the swamp for a while, and then quickly left, never wanting to stay here for a while.

It is no exaggeration to say ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ under that swamp is a **** that cannot be more real.

After leaving the swamp, Ye Tian continued to explore this tropical rainforest, step by step towards the deeper part of the rainforest.

Next, he discovered several historical relics covered by dense vegetation or soil. In or around these relics, many gold and gems, as well as other valuable antique artifacts, were also found.

While talking, their strange treasure hunting team has come to the center of this tropical rainforest.

When she reached this point, the female jaguar walking in front of the team suddenly stopped, looked at the front warily, and assumed a fighting posture.

Not far in front of it, is a green water pool, no more than 20 to 30 meters wide, the range is not large, I don't know how deep.

And in the center of this pool, there stands a hill about seven or eight meters high, and there seems to be a temple on the top of the hill.

Both this hill and the temple on the top of the hill are covered by dense vegetation and vines, and you can't see the real appearance.
