Chapter 408: Treasure Hunt in the Cave
“So, this place is really popular…”
Cube Three curled his lips, picked up an empty can shell on the ground and stuffed it into his backpack.
After parting with everyone, the Three of Diamonds and the Five of Clubs took on the task of finding clues and analyzing intelligence.
While the others were firing frantically to attract fire, the two took the opportunity to explore deeper into the cave.
Along the way, they saw various signs of activities, much more than they had imagined.
From canned rations of the Loen army to packaging bags of Feynaporte, from metal parts of Intis to bottles of wine from Feysac, everything is available here, and it can be called a small United Nations site.
"If this were in the Fifth Epoch, it would be a pirate hideout at best."
"Do you think there are no pirates now?" said the Five of Clubs.
"At least it's not on this island."
The meaningless conversation came to an abrupt end, and the spiritual intuition of the two people was suddenly illuminated, and they looked straight towards a certain place.
After exchanging a glance with the Three of Diamonds, the Five of Clubs moved cautiously and used its extraordinary ability to "steal" something from under the pile of stones.
This is a tattered notebook, many things have been stained, the handwriting is in Loenese, judging from the spelling of the words, it may be a Loenese.
"..."
“…▇▇▇I don’t think▇▇▇is a good idea, but the Captain is firm in his belief. In the end, we▇▇▇, still▇▇▇…”
"…I've been suffering from insomnia since the first day I landed on this island. At first I just thought it was due to acclimatization, but I haven't had a good night's sleep until today, which is a bit ▇▇▇. The good news is that today I found ▇▇▇also started to have trouble sleeping…"
"…Tinnitus, tinnitus, endless tinnitus, and ▇▇▇. Sleep is still the biggest ▇▇▇. I can no longer distinguish the taste in my mouth. No matter what kind of canned food I eat, it tastes ▇▇▇…"
“…▇▇▇ could hold on for so long, which I didn’t expect. I thought she would be the first one to collapse. In fact, I have been vomiting these days, and▇▇▇…
"…Maybe it's because I haven't had a good sleep for a long time. I always feel like someone is talking to me, calling me, telling me ▇▇▇. [Wrench]'s situation is the most serious. He started talking nonsense…"
"... [Wrench] suddenly smashed his head against the butt of a gun, smashing it so hard that it started bleeding. ▇▇▇ He said that he seemed to have a lot of thoughts in his head that didn't belong to him. For example, he just wanted to turn into a tree..."
"…We have stayed in this forest for too long. No matter what, we must go into the cave today…"
"...I'm beginning to regret coming here, but I have no choice. This is a military order..."
"..."
"It seems that they had a rich exploration here. Unfortunately, the author did not survive to bring this notebook back."
The Three of Diamonds shook his head, feeling very regretful.
"In fact, it is estimated that none of them will be able to return alive." Plum Blossom Five added.
"At least now we can take these back and help them complete their unfinished mission."
The style of the painting changes in Block Three.
"What do you think? If we hand these over to the Loen government, can we get a bonus in return?"
"…You talk a lot of crap."
"Master taught me well, there's nothing I can do about it."
While bragging and chatting, the two of them activated automatic pickup for objects along the way to collect clues.
Starting with that notebook, the traces of this place began to change.
The remains of human activity suddenly became numerous, or perhaps too numerous. Underfoot were all kinds of objects that jingled and clanged, including military cans and notebooks, as well as some metal products, instrument wreckage, and torn pieces of cloth.
Meihuawu picked up a few metal products and examined them carefully.
"These should be the remains of guns, but..."
Square continued to move forward, and soon he understood the confusion of the Five of Clubs.
He saw a welded-together fragment of a gun muzzle.
It's not just the muzzle of the gun, but also the iron sheets that blend into the cloth, the plastic that rots with the food, and the instruments that are entangled with the stones.
All the debris are merging and invading each other in an irrational way.
In the center of the twisted objects is a ruined altar.
Although the magic array and inscriptions on the remains of the altar can no longer be clearly seen, it is still solemn and magnificent, completely different from the altar of the Tianming Sect outside.
"...intermingled objects, a ruined altar..."
The Three of Diamonds was sweating a little now.
"This can't be the ruins of the Motian Religion..."
He did not have much knowledge about the Ferris Cult, but he learned how to identify the Ferris Cult from Antigonus.
"It seems that this group of people ran into the altar of the Motian Cult here and suffered a great misfortune."
"Perhaps we should be thankful that when we came here, both the altar and the remains were completely dead."
The Five of Plums stepped forward and carefully observed the traces around the altar.
“This altar…is of very high standard, but why did they abandon such an important altar and leave so cleanly?
“Yes, this scene is a little too clean.
“If this was a ritual accident, where did the remains of the victims go?”
"Perhaps it has all become part of the price of the ceremony."
"That's even worse."
The Five of Clubs shrugged.
“This means the ritual was successful, but we don’t know what the ritual was for.
“The unknown is the scariest thing.”
The Three of Diamonds tried to divine the small objects around him, but no matter what the object was, his spiritual intuition gave a strong warning. In the end, the Three of Diamonds decided to pick some things to take back and rely on a higher-order diviner and scientific divination method to solve the problem.
The two men surrounded the altar and were about to explore further when the entire cave suddenly shook violently.
The Three of Diamonds made an immediate decision. He stepped forward, grabbed the Five of Clubs and threw it on his arm, then ran in the direction he came from.
Large chunks of rocks rumbled down, but the strong and agile Three of Diamonds could not only dodge the falling rocks flexibly, but also open doors and shuttle through the rocks in time, running through the collapsed cave like water.
Finally, the Three of Diamonds and the Five of Clubs escaped from the cave alive. When they looked back, the cave had been completely blocked by the collapsed rocks.
"It seems that we didn't come in from this cave just now." asked Meihua Wu.
"It's not this one, but this road is actually closer to the outside." Diamond Three looked around, "Now the question is, where is the road we just entered?"
After checking the surroundings, he still couldn't find the entrance he came from, and he couldn't even find the hidden boat.
Finally, the two decided to simply return the same way they came, open the door and enter the cave from the exit, to support Red Heart Seven and others who had not yet come out.
The earthquake was over soon. The Three of Diamonds pulled the Five of Clubs to the blocked hole, and after getting into position, they were still reluctant to open the door.
"What's wrong? Were you scared by the earthquake just now?" Meihua Wu asked doubtfully.
The Three of Diamonds turned around, revealing an expression of constipation and disbelief.
"My extraordinary ability is no longer useful."
