As soon as the small drone flew into the cave entrance, a strange-looking stone statue appeared on the surveillance screen.
This is a statue with a muskrat head and a human body, about twenty or thirty centimeters high. It is carved on the stone wall inside the cave entrance and is integrated with the stone wall.
In the hand of this statue, a stone ax is tightly held, ready to strike, as if it is about to strike at anyone who rushes into the cave entrance.
On the opposite stone wall, there is a statue with a coyote head and a human body, with a ferocious face and a spear in his hand.
Obviously, this statue is also guarding the entrance of the cave.
"Whoa! What is this?"
There was an exclamation of surprise at the scene.
The next moment, Professor Baker gave the answer.
"This statue with the head of a muskrat and the body of a muskrat is the first human being in the myths and legends of the Algonquin people. It was born from the intermarriage between the great god Michabo and the muskrat."
"The Massachusetts people are a branch of the Algonquin people. This muskrat head human statue can also be regarded as one of the totems of the Massachusetts people."
"The statue with a coyote's head and human body opposite is another totem of Massachusetts people."
""The existence of these two totem statues is enough to show that this underground fissure is extremely important, and it may really be a sacred place for Massachusetts people."
Following his explanation, the scene became agitated again.
Several history professors who knew something about North American Indians nodded frequently.
At the same time, their eyes were red with envy.
Xiao Ran smiled softly, and then nodded to Haipeng, who was the pilot of the first small drone.
After receiving the order, Haipeng immediately controlled the first small drone and flew deep into the cave.
Next, various patterns and statues carved on the walls of the cave appeared on the big-screen TV one by one.
Among these patterns and statues, there are various animal statues with strange shapes.
Or it has an animal head and a human body, or a human head and an animal body, or a combination of two or three animals, etc.
In addition, there are many stone murals on the walls around the cave.
The content of these murals includes scenes of hunting, farming, war, sacrifice, etc.
Whether they are statues or murals, the shapes of these things in the cave are very exaggerated, and they exude a strange and sinister atmosphere.
In particular, the several scenes of people being killed are even more mind-numbing and horrifying to look at.
That's it, it still doesn't have the same effect as when it was cleaned.
If you wipe off the dust and moss on those statues and murals, the feeling they bring to people will be even more shocking.
Looking at these scenes, most people at the scene and in the live broadcast room felt a chill running down their backs.
Professor Baker and others were also present, but their eyes shone with excitement.
They understand that this unknown underground world is of great archaeological research value.
By studying the things in this underground world, we should be able to restore the living conditions of North American Indians hundreds of years ago, or even thousands of years ago.
The discovery of this underground world will surely cause a huge sensation in the field of North American history.
While talking, the second small drone also flew into the cave entrance and flew directly deep underground.
In the blink of an eye, the first small drone flew through the hole more than four meters deep.
At the other end of the cave connected to the ground, two more guardian stone statues appeared.
On the left is a statue of a human body with a bear head, and on the right is a statue of a human body with an eagle head.
The shapes of these two statues are also very exaggerated and weird. Each holds a stone rod and guards the inner hole.
When the first small drone flew over the two guardian stone statues, the view ahead suddenly became clear.
A winding, dark underground crack immediately appeared on the big screen TV.
This underground crack is less than two meters wide and extends to the north and south.
As Xiao Ran said before, the surface of this underground crack is crisscrossed with ravines and there are many large and small caves.
The cries of ghosts and wolves that came from the ground before were caused by the airflow blowing through these places.
Just like the situation in the previous caves, there are also many statues and other things in this underground crack.
But the difference is that most of these stone statues are made of gold and are placed in caves.
When searchlights shone on these caves, a bright golden light immediately flashed on the large-screen TV in the church.
Seeing this scene, everyone at the scene and in the live broadcast room was stunned, and everyone was dumbfounded.
After a while, everyone finally woke up.
"Holy shit! Did you read that right? Those large and small caves are filled with golden statues."
"Is it possible that this underground crack is filled with gold? If that's true, wouldn't Xiao Ran be making crazy money!"
Akinayama welder exclaimed.
Not only him, but several live broadcast rooms were like boiling pots in an instant, with exclamations one after another.
Xiao Ran smiled softly, and then replied in a low voice in Mandarin:
"You read that right, those are indeed golden statues, and now they all belong to my buddies!"
"Unlike other civilizations and races in the world, in the Indian world, gold and other precious metals are only used for sacrifices, not currency."
"North America is rich in gold. It is not surprising that a large amount of gold is found in this underground fissure."
Following his words, the live broadcast rooms suddenly became more lively.
At this time, the interior of the church was also very lively.
The appearance of these golden Indian statues shocked everyone at the scene and made everyone exclaim.
Throughout the ages, gold has been the most crazy thing.
Everyone at the scene is naturally no exception.
After the shock, Professor Samuel suddenly said:
"It seems that this is the unknown colonial treasure, which is all antique art and gold and silver treasures from the Indians."
"But one thing I don't quite understand is that since the British have discovered this place a long time ago, why didn't they sweep away this treasure instead of leaving it here?"
Xiao Ran turned to look at this old friend, then smiled and said:
"The reason is simple. For such an amazing treasure, the British who discovered it may not be willing to dedicate this treasure to the King of England."
"In this case, they must keep it strictly confidential, and even if they are guilty of concealing the treasure, they may not dare to come up with so much gold at once."
"In that case, you will undoubtedly put yourself in a dangerous situation. Don't lose your life here without getting the treasure in the end."
After hearing this, everyone nodded, obviously agreeing with this inference.
The reason is simple. If they were allowed to get this treasure, they would never be willing to give it to the US government.
After chatting for a few more words, everyone looked at the big screen TV again.
At this time, the second small aircraft had also flown over the underground crack.
Then, the two small planes split into left and right sides, slowly flew close to the stone walls on both sides of the crack, and began to explore at close range.
When they flew close to the stone wall, the golden statues placed in the cave suddenly became clearer.
These golden statues are all Indian-style antique relics, with exaggerated and weird shapes that even give people a gloomy feeling.
Although these gold statues are crudely made, they have a unique flavor and are very good antique cultural relics.
In addition to the golden statues, there are also many stone carvings and murals on the stone walls on both sides of the seam.
The contents depicted in these murals are scenes of Indian life, hunting, sacrifices, etc., which are of great research value, but they are not very clear.
Looking at these exaggerated golden statues, everyone at the scene became even more excited.
Especially the history professors were so excited that they almost started dancing.
At this moment, Xiao Ran suddenly said:
"Haipeng, have you seen the slightly larger cave on the right? You can find a way to put a fluorescent lighting rod in it."
"Then you explore along this underground crack to both sides to see how long this underground crack is."
After the words fell, Haipeng immediately nodded and responded:
"Okay, leave it to me, I'll get it done soon."
With that said, this guy took action.
Under his control, the small drone located deep underground slowly approached the cave that Xiao Ran was talking about.
The next moment, the small drone carefully flew into the cave.
Then he put down a fluorescent lighting stick and then withdrew again.
Immediately afterwards, two small drones flew to both sides of the crack, preparing to explore the length of the crack.
At this moment, John suddenly came to Xiao Ran and whispered to him:
"Sean, if there is a lot of gold hidden in this underground crack, several of our families are willing to invest in acquiring this gold."
"In addition to gold, we are also willing to purchase other antiques and cultural relics as long as they are of good quality."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Ran immediately turned off the live broadcast microphone.
After thinking for a moment, he nodded and said:
"Of course, no problem, John, if there is a large amount of gold hidden in this treasure, I obviously can't take it away, and the US government won't allow it."
"You have the right of first refusal, and I am also happy to sell some of the antiques and gold to you, but only part of it, not all of it."
"For the remaining antique relics and gold products, I tend to exchange them for some top Chinese antique artworks. That's what I want most."
John paused and did not respond immediately.
The eyes of Matthew, Professor Samuel and others standing aside suddenly lit up.
Whether it is the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston or Harvard University, there are many top Chinese antiques and artworks.
There is no problem in taking part of it for exchange.
After a moment of pause, John nodded and said:
"Okay, Sean, I understand your thinking and I hope we can reach this deal."
Xiao Ran smiled and nodded.
“There is another premise here, that is, Yale’s interests must be guaranteed.”
While they were discussing in low voices, two small drones had determined the length of this underground fissure.
The length of the uppermost part of this underground crack is about 50 meters, and it is winding and narrower toward both sides.
As for the depth of this underground fissure, it is currently unknown and requires further exploration.
The deeper width has been previously determined using deep ground-penetrating radar.
In terms of width, this underground crack is spindle-shaped, widest in the middle and narrower at the upper and lower ends.
In addition, there are many gold statues and stone murals on both sides of this crack in the ground.
But compared to the entrance to the cave, it has gradually decreased, and the level of exquisiteness seems to be slightly less.
After determining the length of this underground crack, Xiao Ran asked two drone pilots to place a fluorescent lighting rod on each side.
Then, they were asked to control the small drone and fly deeper into the crack.
The next moment, a magnificent, yet eerie underground world appeared before everyone's eyes.
