203 The Swallowtail Hoe! Dodging Death and Prolonging Life! The Whole Internet Watches in Amazement! (1)
In the afternoon, a little past 2 o’clock, Luo Feng scanned the area and unearthed another gold bar, which once again set the livestream chat room abuzz.
“Here we go again! Is it another treasure?”
“Is this a marker?”
“A hint that leads you to the third treasure site?”
!!
The treasure hunters who were tailing Luo Feng and his crew were envious. The third treasure site aside, even the sight of the gold bar was tantalizing for them. Unfortunately for the pursuers, Luo Feng and his wealthy followers moved quickly, going as far as to leave behind members of their crew if necessary. Only those with good stamina were able to keep up; as Luo Feng had deemed it a necessary procedure for shaking off those tailing them.
By the time those left behind had caught up, all they had found were the pits Luo Feng had dug out and left behind.
Surprisingly, some of the rich followers, who exercised and hiked daily, had exceptional stamina. Around 3 in the afternoon, Luo Feng arrived at another treasure location and had already dug up his seventh gold bar. Emerging from a grove of trees, they now faced a mountain peak.
Though they did not find the bronze plaque with the Imperial Jade Emperor’s Decree at the foot of this peak, the peak itself appeared like an inverted sword. It was very steep, and it was about 300 meters high. Luo Feng surmised that the treasure was likely to be found around the mountain peak.
Along the way, they had dug up various items, and among them, was an abundance of gold bars… It was uncertain if these gold bars were clues, but regardless, they all pointed to this mountain peak.
“Scan!”
As soon as his mental words fell, the scanning finished.
Luo Feng saw a few scattered treasure markers in the vicinity.
“What’s going on? Is there no third treasure site, after all?”
As he pondered, he looked up to see numerous markers shining brightly on the cliff of the mountain peak, likely located within caves on the mountain. Luo Feng squinted at the sight, which was directly in line with the sun, making it dazzling.
Having identified the markers’ positions in the caves on the cliff, Luo Feng was in no hurry. He pulled out two bottles of Red Bull and began gulping them down. Occasionally, he would look back, wondering why those pursuers he had left behind had not arrived yet.
“They’re so slow,” he thought.
As he waited, Luo Feng pondered how to climb the almost vertical 90-degree mountain peak.
The first option was to climb up using his hands. The second was to have someone on the peak throw a rope down. The third option was to rent a helicopter.
Clearly, the first option was too dangerous. The second? If he had already climbed up, why would he still need to toss down a rope? The third option was viable, but it required waiting for an aviation company, which would take about an hour.
Luo Feng was amazed, never having seen treasure stored in such a steep mountain peak before.
How did the rebel king managed to send it up there?
“The host is drinking water now? Why?”
“He already downed 2 whole cans of Red Bull; is that still not enough?”
“Those tailing b*stards will be here soon! If you keep resting, there might not be any treasure left!”
Luo Feng laughed, “What’s the rush? They don’t even know where the treasure is, but I have already found it! There’s no need to hurry!”
“Really? You found it? Where is it?”
“We didn’t see you digging anywhere or conduct a search at all! Are you pulling our legs!?”
Seeing this, Luo Feng responded, “I have definitely found where the third spot is, but I need to rest for a bit beforehand. I’ll show you the treasure later.”
Upon hearing this, the viewers grew curious. News of Luo Feng finding the treasure began to spread online.
[ Luo has found the rebel king’s third treasure trove! ]
Everyone was already paying close attention to the events at Dalong Mountain. As such, news as explosive as this was sure to rocket to the top of the trending topics in an instant.
“Wow! There really is a third treasure site?”
“Leave some of the treasures for the rebel king in the underworld, will you?”
“Why should he? Shouldn’t they be burning offerings for us instead? Compared to them, our situation is more like hell!”
“The message above is spot on!”
“I’m on-site, have been following the host for more than 10 kilometers, and yet, I found nothing! I feel so stupid!”
“Ha! Serves you right for going crazy over the idea of getting riches easily like the host!”
Meanwhile, Lin Yide of the Jiangnan Museum made a phone call at the foot of the mountain, “Master Wang Yousheng, where are you?”
“At home. Why?”
“Little Luo has discovered the third treasure! Based on the pattern of each find being more valuable than the last, I believe the treasures Little Luo will find this time will be even more precious than the previous site’s!”
“Are you so sure the first site was indeed the first? What if the first site was actually the third? Then the current third site would actually be the first! Plus, it’s also possible that they started burying the treasures from the other side of the mountain!”
“No, if the first site was actually the third, the value of the treasures found there would have been higher than the second. So, the third location he’s at right now must be the most valuable one!”
“I got lost in your explanation, but I understand your point! I hope this third site will reveal some earth-shattering artifacts!”
As the two chatted, they both set out, and they were not the only ones. Other museums were well aware that the first site yielded gold and silver, while the second contained a jade seal and a tiger-head plaque. Naturally, it stood to reason that the third site had massive treasures in store for them.
Moreover, the third treasure site had also taken the longest for Luo Feng to locate, leading everyone to guess that its value must be extraordinary. Even though nothing had been discovered or excavated at the third site yet, the mere anticipation was enough to drive them mad.
