Chapter 189 - The Mountain

The tension and astonishment on our faces gradually changed to surprise, joy, and ecstasy at the cold words.

"Really?" I couldn't help but ask.

"Really, hur hur." Qing Han nodded.

Hearing this, we couldn't hold it in any longer and exploded one by one.

"I, I, I'm too good!"

"Yea, the Golden City belongs to us!"

"Long live!"

"Mommy, when I go back I must burn 100 joss sticks. No, 1000 joss sticks, 10,000 joss sticks!"

Everyone jumped up and cheered in unison.

That night, me, Xiao Bai, female Boss, the one-eyed girl, Qing Han, the thief eyed girl, the round-faced girl, and the Hui Ying girl all rose to become billionaires. Just like that, our lives had a huge change.

That is why I have more than fifty percent of the ownership right now. Adding that to the relationship between Qing Han and me, the gold that she has is also equivalent to mine, so speaking of it, I am the true great winner of life.

Although six hours had passed and everyone was cold and hungry, when they heard the news of the Golden City's ownership, everyone was so excited that they forgot everything else.

Qing Han also applauded us and said:

"Finding the Golden City can be considered as fulfilling one of the wishes of the clan's senior. My great-grandmother and great-grandmother had been trying their best to decipher the password and code on the treasure map and materials of Gold City. Until the moment of their deaths, they were unable to find Gold City. Qing Han smiled happily as tears flickered in the corners of her eyes. Qinghan and I embraced each other and I patted her back in congratulations. Even though there were still a lot of things waiting for us after today and the discovery of the Golden City would surely attract countless people's greed and conflict, at least at this moment, the joy in our hearts had reached its peak.

After celebrating for a while, a trace of a dark shadow appeared on Qing Han's brows.

"What's wrong, Qing Han?"

"Although I am happy, I am still troubled. Although the Yellow Lotus Mountains was currently a territorial disputed area, it was not protected by the Ancient Cultural Relics s protection laws. The conflicts between races and interests were already very intense, and now that the Golden City has been unearthed, the poor people of the former Viet Nam and some international treasure hunters, as well as some remaining bandit will definitely come to fight for it. It is still hard to say whether or not we can defend this city in the end. "

Qing Han's words caused the joy on everyone's faces to lessen.

"Then what should we do? Qing Han, do you have a way? "

"I suppose so. It's just that before the conflict with the locals, we hired trusted transport teams to tear the Gold City into golden bricks and transport it to the country. That way, we could avoid regional risks. Or we could resell the whole of the Gold City ahead of time, and split the money we get equally among the nine of us. Both are more effective. However, both of these methods will take a period of time. The second examination of the International Monuments Association requires the dispatch of experts and appraisers to investigate the estimated value and authenticity of the treasure before we can verify the identity of the first batch of treasure hunters. The assessment is much stricter than the first one. Of course, this is only after we have been confirmed as the first batch of Discover By s. And the second batch of audits have a benefit, which is that before the audits are finished, we can hire a group of up to 500 people from the International Monuments Association to protect the site from thieves and looters. "

"Treasure protection squad?"

"Yes." The condition for the Treasure Protector Team is to give them one percent of the treasure. "

"Holy shit, 1%?" Then according to the price of the gold city, isn't that equivalent to 1 billion? "

Qing Han smiled bitterly and said, "There's nothing we can do about it. After all, we can't defend this Gold City by ourselves." And one percent of the funds would be better than those Ancient Cultural Relics unearthed in China being confiscated by the state. "

The cold was quite reasonable. After thinking for a while, everyone nodded in agreement.

But at this time, rumbling sounds came from the depths of the rift. Along with it, the entire rift and the Golden City began to shake.

"What is that sound?"

A voice from the depths of the rift made everyone raise their heads and look around. The sound seemed to have come from behind the mountain. It was like the cry of a wild beast, but also like the wails of a vengeful spirit. Anyone who heard it would feel a chill down their spine.

Finally, Qinghan Ye came back to her senses.

"Crap, it's the sound of water dripping down the mountain!" Everyone, leave the valley! This place will soon be flooded! "

"Huh?" Everyone was flabbergasted.

"Qing Han, didn't you say that the lake at the top of the mountain has dried up? Why is it leaking now? " I couldn't help but ask.

"I don't know either. I think it was due to the passage of time. The path from the reservoir to the bottom of the rift was blocked by some rocks. But now, the rocks have been forced open by the water pressure, so the water leaked out!" Qing Han said somewhat panickedly.

"Go, how can this be? What about the Golden City? "

"The Golden City will also be flooded. However, we can send people to fish in the water in the future, and the Gold City won't be able to escape. But now, we must go! "

As soon as the cold voice fell, we heard a rumbling sound of water coming from the side of the mountain, as if the ground water in the mountain had completely squeezed out of the mountain and washed into the inside of the rift.

The sound of water rumbling inside the mountain made our hearts jump.

"Then what about these bandit s?" Little White looked at us, then looked at the female bandit s who were tied up in a corner under the Golden City.

Hearing Whitey's question, we were stunned for a moment. If this place was flooded, then the only way for these female bandit to survive would be for them.

For a moment, everyone was silent.

Although the bandit is an enemy, in the face of death, we would have more or less lost our human nature if we were to abandon him.

"Give them a knife and let them think of their own ways to escape."

This suggestion of mine slightly startled everyone, but in the end, they all agreed to it. After all, the female bandit is our enemy, so it is impossible for us to save them. Thus, the pervert picked up a short blade from the ground and threw it in front of the female bandit s who were tied up in the Golden City. Of course, their other weapons have already been confiscated by us. Then we picked up the searchlight and tried to escape. The sound of water inside the mountain was growing more and more terrifying. Although it was already night and we could not see the huge torrent of water pouring down from the mountain, I could tell from the sound that the volume of water was no less than that of a large waterfall. I did not know how long it would be before it was swallowed up.

The terrain of the Great Rift Valley was similar to an inverted trapezoidal shape. Although the terrain was open, once there was water, the inside of the rift valley would easily be filled.

"Let's quickly leave this place." Qing Han replied.

"Yes." Without delay, we picked up a few items that we brought along with us, along with a few pieces of golden bricks that fell to the ground. Then, we started to run.

"Damn, this is really bad luck. We finally found the Golden City, and now we have to drown in water!" The perverted girl complained as she ran.

"Forget it, being submerged is a good thing. At the very least, it would be very difficult for those thieves and bandit to compete with us for the ownership of Gold City!" The thief said in an optimistic tone.

"Everyone run faster. From the sound of it, I'm worried that the mountain wall has already opened up. I'm afraid that all the water from the mountain peak will be poured into this place!"

Qing Han pointed at the road with her searchlight in front of her, urging us to flee. Even though Golden City was priceless, but no matter how priceless it was, he should still have a life to enjoy it. If he lost his life, then everything would be useless.

Although it was dark, there was only one or two paths through the rift, so it was easy to tell the direction.

But because of the darkness around us, we couldn't tell where the crocodiles were in the swamp or where the ground was. If we accidentally stepped into the crocodiles' lair, we would be dead.

When we reached the first swamp, we were all forced to stop.

"Wait a moment everyone!" "The crocodile pond is right in front of us. If we're not careful, we might be surrounded by crocodiles," Qing Han said anxiously as she stopped her steps.

"It's alright, with the peeping divine tool, there's no need to be afraid of anything like crocodiles!" As she spoke, she took out a helmet from the backpack she was carrying and put it on her head. When I looked closely, I recognized that helmet as the helmet that the explosive lady gave us earlier with infrared vision.

"If it wasn't for this thing, how could we have come here with you?"

By the way, if you use an infrared perspective, you can actually see your surroundings in the dark.

"Infrared perspective helmet? Great, Gao Haixin, then I will have to trouble the few of you to lead the way. "

"Hehe, let's follow closely!" I'll let you know when we get to the crocodile! " The lecherous lass activated her infrared vision function and took the lead as she ran. As she ran, she also gave us a reminder.

"Don't go to the right! There are three crocodiles over there!"

"To the left."

"To the right!"

"…"

With the seesaw's infrared vision function, we easily bypassed the swamps where the crocodiles live and ran all the way out of the rift. However, those female bandit do not have an infrared fluoroscope, so I do not know what will happen to them.

By the time we ran out of the Dark Forest, panting for breath, the current of terror had flooded all the flat land of the Rift Valley, and the flood that kept coming was no more than our heels. It wouldn't be long before this rift was going to be submerged into a huge underground lake.

However, just as the flood had reached the bottom of the rift, we finally reached the end of the rift and ran up the slope we had come from.

"Faster!" I urged everyone to run with all their might, and I heard the sound of landslides and crevasses behind me, probably because the mountain walls couldn't bear the impact of the water pressure and the crevices expanded.

The group of us ran down the slope and out of the rift. When we reached the rift, we finally stopped and all of us began to breathe heavily and sweat profusely.

"We escaped. "Haha." The shifty-eyed woman stood on the edge of the rift, beaming with joy.

"Damn it, I was so scared." I almost drowned in it. " The perverted girl said resentfully.

The mountain wind outside the rift ruffled our hair, and we stood together outside the rift listening to the roar of the water below, chest heaving.

"This is really the end." I stood at the edge of the rift, wiping the sweat from my forehead.

Be it the Spider Queen s, Golden Lion s, or purple scorpion s, everything about them was drowned by the waters of the valley in those nightmarish memories that we left behind.

It will never be natural again.

"It's over, it's really over!"
