Zhu Yu and Hans discussed for a long time, and with Mira reminding them, the three of them decided on the route forward.
In fact, Zhu Yu was mainly playing tricks - his understanding of maps was not as good as Ran Jie and Qin Fei's.
However, it is a hidden rule in this team that mercenaries and subordinates do not get involved in discussing routes, and Jason is not interested in these.
By the time the discussion was over, it was getting late.
Ran Jie and the others had already thrown the bodies of Tonks and others into the piranha bush, and then the team moved to another place to camp and prepare to eat.
Originally Ran Jie wanted to go hunting again, but unfortunately there was almost no prey near the piranha bushes. Fortunately, Tonks and others still had a lot of cooked food in their backpacks, so these people didn't mind it and took a rest after eating.
I was very tired this day, and I arranged the night watch all night, so I didn't do anything else.
But because it is near the piranha territory, there are no dangerous beasts coming at night.
As soon as daybreak, after breakfast, the group continued to set off.
The warriors of the primitive tribe turned in a big circle and left, but Zhu Yu found that the black Wilson quietly left the team and followed the warrior.
I don't think I'll do anything good.
But Zhu Yu didn't stop him either.
It was probably Hans's idea for Wilson to go out and take action. He was not the Virgin, and he had no intention of affecting the relationship with Hans for an unrelated person.
The group continued to head deeper into the jungle. After walking for a long time, they saw ruins.
It was a stone platform. I don’t know what the original building was, but the stone platform is still there.
Seeing this stone platform, Hans was very excited:
"Finally found it! The rest of the journey will be much easier!"
Zhu Yu didn't feel this way.
He used his heavenly eyes to look inside and found similar stone platforms and broken stone walls appearing one after another in the distance.
Could this be a city?
But thinking about the Mayan cities in the past, there should be treasures, right?
Zhu Yu didn't know how the Mayans became extinct, and how the Europeans later invaded and looted them. His eyes were constantly watching. Although underground secret rooms and the like were found in some ruins, there was nothing inside. thing.
The group of people came to a new stone platform, cleaned it up, and temporarily used it as a resting camp.
Hans became more excited when he arrived here. He smiled and said to Zhu Yu:
"I took another route the last few times. The dangers are just as dangerous as this one. Although there are no piranha flowers, there are other dangers.
It's just that I didn't have such good luck the last few times. Halfway through, I suffered heavy losses in personnel and equipment, and I had to go back in the end.
I didn't expect to ask you to come with me this time. Although there was danger, I finally made it through safely and came here - not far from the location of the real treasure. Zhu, you are really lucky! "
Zhu Yu just smiled and did not respond.
After eating at the stone platform, rested for a while, had a simple lunch, and continued to set off.
Now except Zhu Yu, everyone else is very excited. The vegetation here is not as lush as before. Although most of the ruins are covered by bushes, they can still be found. Zhu Yu even saw the stepped Mayan pyramid that he only saw in books.
He climbed up curiously to take a look, but found nothing.
Hans, however, was not so enthusiastic and shouted from below:
"Zhu, come down quickly, we still have a long way to go!"
Zhu Yu could feel that Hans was much more anxious now than before.
Could it be that he was about to find the treasure, so he became excited?
Zhu Yu got off the pyramid and continued to move forward with the team.
Wilson has returned to the team with an additional wound on his face.
Ran Jie and Qin Fei should have seen the clues. They acted a little distance from those people and paid more attention to protecting Zhu Yu.
When it got dark, they came to a building with only two stone walls remaining.
Jason sprinkled sulfur to drive away the poisonous insects, and the others cleared the weeds and shrubs and camped here.
After a simple dinner, Hans said to Zhu Yu:
"In one more day's journey, we will reach the place where the treasure is. Then it will be up to you."
Zhu Yu nodded. He doesn't know much about opening roads, but he should have no problem finding treasures.
But if there are too many treasures, how much can these people take away?
Zhu Yu thought of the treasure hunt with Brown.
If he didn't have space equipment, even Brown would have to move a lot of treasures, right?
Helicopters can land there, but there is nothing here.
Of course, Zhu Yu's self-deprecating smile might mean nothing.
Sleeping in the tent, Zhu Yu felt a little uneasy.
Zhu Yu was also a little confused. He always slept well and had almost no insomnia.
What happened tonight?
In the middle of the night, Zhu Yu couldn't help but get up, intending to take a quick look at the situation.
He came out of the tent and called Wilson softly.
Zhu Yu remembered that when he was sleeping, Jason arranged for Wilson to stay vigil in the first half of the night.
However, Wilson was not here at this time?
He hurriedly searched around with his eyes, and was surprised to find that Wilson was sleeping against the corner!
Zhu Yu was a little angry, so he walked over and slapped him hard, but found that Wilson still didn't wake up!
Then Zhu Yu felt something was wrong. There seemed to be a subtle, pleasant smell of grass in the air!
Ordinarily, in the jungle, this kind of smell is normal - but now I feel that this smell is still a little different from the smell of the jungle!
Zhu Yu subconsciously looked up and was surprised to find that the half-circle moon seemed to have a bit of green!
has a problem!
Zhu Yu immediately stepped forward and shook Wilson vigorously.
"Um……"
Wilson was finally shaken awake, but his eyesight felt a little blurry and he was still not quite awake.
Zhu Yu slapped him in the face several times:
"Wake up quickly! There's a situation!"
After saying that, he ignored him and ran straight to the tent where Ran Jie and Qin Fei were. After pulling it open, he saw that both of them were asleep inside.
Judging from the vigilance of these two people, if someone opens the tent, they will definitely wake up.
I'm not even awake yet, but I can hear breathing. It seems like there's something wrong with the air!
Zhu Yu shook Ran Jie and Qin Fei awake:
"Get up, there's a problem here! We have to leave quickly!"
Ran Jie and Qin Fei woke up, reacted quickly, and immediately got up to wake up the others.
By the time everyone was woken up, it was already more than ten minutes later - Hans, Mira and an injured mercenary were so asleep that they could hardly be woken up.
"What's going on?" Others asked one after another.
Zhu Yu thought for a while and said:
"I don't know why, but there is probably some kind of anesthetic gas or hypnotic breath in the air. We can't stay here any longer. Let's leave quickly!"
These people feel a little weak now, but they also know that if they stay here any longer, they may sleep to death!
After packing their things, the group found the right direction and hurried on.
Zhu Yu kept observing and found that the faint greenness in the space had not disappeared, and he became even more worried!
And this also affected the speed of everyone's walking. They walked quite fast at the beginning, but as they went back, their steps became smaller and their bodies became softer!
Zhu Yu knew that this was not going to work, so he shouted loudly:
"If you can't walk, throw away the less important things in your backpack! You may find them back later! It's important to hurry up now!"
Others also knew that this was a critical moment, so they followed suit and threw away everything except food, weapons and other important things.
Traveling lightly is indeed much faster.
The injured mercenary was already weak and had inhaled a lot of that breath. Now he could hardly keep up and muttered that he was very sleepy.
With a trace of cruelty on his face, Jason pulled out his saber and made a slash on the mercenary's arm, then applied medicine to stop the bleeding.
When the mercenary was stimulated by the wound, he became much more excited and no longer said he was sleepy.
After walking for several hours, even Zhu Yu felt extremely tired at the moment. The sky was getting a little brighter, but the smell in the air still hadn't dissipated.
Zhu Yu was a little anxious. If he stayed in this environment, even he might not be able to bear it!
Hans already needed help to move forward. Although Mira was still walking, there were only a few things left in her bag, and there wouldn't be much left if she threw them away.
Ran Jie and Qin Fei, on the other hand, were still carrying big bags and had hardly thrown away much.
Seeing Zhu Yu looking over, Ran Jie was still thinking of joking:
"Boss, actually it's nothing. When we were practicing, we didn't sleep much for three days and three nights. We traveled 150 kilometers and had to carry weapons. It was much more difficult than this!"
Zhu Yu didn't know whether Ran Jie and Qin Fei were joking or serious.
But it was obvious that he and Qin Fei felt much better than Jason and the others overall.
Finally, the sun rose.
Zhu Yu was surprised to find that the greenery in the air was turning away!
And that breath seems to be slowly dissipating!
He immediately said loudly:
"Okay, the sun is out! We can rest for a while! The inexplicable anesthetic breath seems to be dissipating!"
When he said this, the others immediately relaxed!
Zhu Yu knew he couldn't go any further, so he found a flat place nearby that was illuminated by the sun, and dragged these people there.
Several people were leaning on their backpacks or just lying on the ground, and no one wanted to move.
Zhu Yu was also very tired. But his condition is much better than others.
I took out the kettle and took a big sip first, then I felt my throat that was about to smoke was relieved.
Ran Jie asked quietly:
"Boss, you are the best! This old Hans really did the right thing to ask you to help with the treasure hunt. Otherwise, it is very likely that we will all sleep to death in that place today!"
Zhu Yu knew that Ran Jie was not an alarmist.
It was still early in the night when he woke everyone up. If he hadn't woken up, everyone would have been asleep. After this night, they might not be able to wake up.
Hans also understood this truth. After resting for half an hour, he could barely get up. Hans came over and said to Zhu Yu sincerely:
"Zhu, you saved our lives again!"
The reason why I say this is that in the Piranha territory, if it weren't for Zhu Yu and the others, Hans would probably be a loser by now.
"We are partners, needless to say. As long as you are here, I will have a share of the 30% of the treasure!"
Zhu Yu's jokes made Hans feel more at ease.
Jason and others also came over to thank him one by one. Seeing the slap marks on Wilson's face, Zhu Yu wanted to laugh.
Seeing that it was almost time to rest, Zhu Yu said again:
"Eat something and let's move on. Although the smell in the air has weakened, it has not completely disappeared. We still have to be vigilant."
In fact, everyone present, especially Mira and the injured mercenary, were already dozing off.
Their companions hurriedly woke them up, ate some breakfast in a hurry, and continued on their way.
I don’t want to pick up those things I threw away for the time being.
After advancing for more than ten kilometers, Zhu Yu saw that these people could no longer walk, and the smell in the air could hardly be smelled, so he found a flat place to stop.
"Okay, let's rest first and catch up on some sleep."
Zhu Yu seems to be the captain of this team.
Zhu Yu himself was a little sleepy, but he didn't dare to sleep, so he simply went to look around.
The trees here are still relatively sparse, but they are all larger.
There are a lot of open spaces, and some places vaguely feel like roads.
Relics such as stone platforms have almost disappeared, except for the occasional one, which is much smaller in scale.
Zhu Yu knew that he had already gone beyond the scope of the original Mayan city.
When I passed through the city earlier, I was in a hurry and didn't see any hidden treasure rooms or anything like that.
Zhu Yu was basically certain that no one had ever explored this ruins. These people are basically the first batch of visitors besides the indigenous people and invaders.
I just walked through it in a hurry and didn't get to explore.
It's a pity.
Zhu Yu was also a little curious. If the treasure was not in this city, where would it be?
Shouldn't such treasures usually be found in gathering places of aboriginal people?
While Zhu Yu was thinking wildly, he heard a crisp gunshot, and he immediately rushed back to his resting place.
Ran Jie also walked out of the woods, carrying a pig-like thing weighing 20 to 30 kilograms.
Ran Jie threw the prey to the ground and said with a smile:
"I didn't expect this thing to exist here,"
Zhu Yu looked at it carefully and said:
"It must be a capybara."
"Whatever, let's eat before we talk! We need to add some meat!"
Then he and Qin Fei handled the capybara neatly and cooked the meat.
Mira reminded:
"Will it attract predatory beasts?"
After saying this, several other people, including Jason, laughed.
Although they are a little weaker, they all have guns!
I’m really not afraid of any wild beasts!
When you come here, you will be given meat!
Zhu Yu didn't throw away the seasonings in his backpack, they were just in use.
It didn't take long before everyone could smell the fragrance.
This capybara is big enough for everyone to share the meat. After traveling for such a long time, we were tired and hungry, and some people couldn't help but swallow their saliva.
Zhu Yu couldn't help but feel proud.
Fortunately, I brought Ran Jie and Qin Fei with me, otherwise, this trip would have been difficult to say.
After the meat was done, I took a piece of each and gnawed it.
Wilson said while chewing:
“It would be better if we could grill some!”
Ran Jie responded while chewing the meat:
"And meat. If you don't want your body to be filled with parasites, grill those!"
When he said this, Wilson's face suddenly turned red, but he also knew that what Ran Jie said made sense.
In addition to carrying germs, these things in the wild also carry parasites. If they are not treated well, they are just waiting to become hosts!
