After re-entering the tent, Zhu Yu lay in the sleeping bag, but couldn't sleep at all.
The scene in the previous dream seemed to have really happened to him, and Zhu Yu now even knew why the high pyramid fell into the ground!
The reason is that Jason touched the trap, and Zhu Yu took something he shouldn't have taken away.
If Jason touches the mechanism, the sand above the underground hall will only fill the hall and passages. After a while, the sand will leak down, and the hall and passages will return to their normal state.
But a seemingly inconspicuous gem that Zhu Yu took away was the key to the entire hall sinking into the ground - that gem contained the inheritance of this Mayan tribe's civilization, just like the thirteen crystal skulls!
Moreover, as long as you truly get the inheritance from that gem, you can raise the sacrificial hall under the ground again!
This is awesome!
It is equivalent to getting the inheritance of the Mayan civilization!
Zhu Yu took out the gemstone from his backpack, and he suddenly felt that the gemstone was somewhat familiar - wasn't this the same sapphire inlaid on the top of the wooden staff in the priest's hand in the "Water Curtain Movie"?
This gemstone is blue in color, about the size of half a fist, and is not very smooth. It can still feel tingling when held in the hand - which is why Zhu Yu thinks it is inconspicuous.
After all, compared to the rough gemstone, this gemstone is only slightly polished, almost like a semi-finished product!
However, holding the gem in his hand, Zhu Yu felt nothing except a slight chill.
I feel nothing even if I put it on my forehead.
Could it be that time has passed and the information passed down in it has completely disappeared?
Zhu Yu tried several methods, even dripping blood, but to no avail.
Was the dream a lie?
The feeling is so clear, and this gemstone is exactly the same!
Zhu Yu couldn't understand.
At this moment, deep in the jungle, a black figure climbed to the top of a tall tree and looked in this direction through the branches.
It was the man who shot Ran Jie with a blow dart.
Ran Jie's shot did not hurt him, but scared him away.
This is a tribesman, only shorter. He holds a blow dart in his hand and a short spear on his back. The expression on his face is relatively complicated.
He wanted to go there again, but he didn't dare to move forward. He was not sure whether those people were the ones he was looking for.
After a long time, the black shadow climbed down the tree, turned into the jungle, and disappeared.
Here, Zhu Yu thought of the last solution.
He took out the crystal skull, thinking that this skull should be able to give the gem some energy?
Because Zhu Yu felt that if the gem didn't respond, it probably had no energy!
Of course, your ideas are wild and wild, and if you have nothing to do, just give it a try.
As soon as he brought the crystal skull close to the gem, the gem suddenly glowed!
Is this "charging"?
Zhu Yu became excited. Although the gem only glowed for a moment and then continued to dim, Zhu Yu felt that the gem was different!
It's just that there isn't much energy in the crystal skull. After a while, Zhu Yu inspected it with his Sky Eye and found that the energy in the crystal skull had been transmitted to light, but the gem was like a bottomless pit, which was far from enough!
He picked up the gem again and put it against the Sky Eye. He could feel the changes in the gem, but still no information came through.
Obviously, there isn't enough energy.
It's really depressing.
Fortunately, Zhu Yu discovered that the crystal skull absorbed energy much faster outside than in New York, at least three to five times the difference.
Maybe you can absorb enough energy before leaving the jungle!
Zhu Yu's plan was that even if he got the information in the gem, he would not raise the hall in the short term.
no need.
After all, the biggest treasure has been taken away by him.
Putting the crystal skull in another backpack, Zhu Yu felt relieved and fell asleep.
Early the next morning, Zhu Yu was awakened by the crisp chirping of birds.
The sky was already bright, and Zhu Yu heard someone talking quietly outside, it was Ran Jie and Qin Fei.
He got up, put away his sleeping bag, went out and packed up the tent, and saw that Ran Jie had already begun to prepare breakfast.
"Boss, how did you sleep?" Ran Jie asked while stirring the meat porridge.
"It's good." Zhu Yu said while packing up the tent, "There were no more attacks yesterday, right?"
"No." Qin Fei shook his head, "Nothing suspicious was found."
Pumiti came out of the jungle with a bunch of fruits in her hand.
When he saw Zhu Yu, he immediately ran over and knelt down at Zhu Yu. Zhu Yu hurriedly got out of the way and asked him to stand up.
Pumiti smiled, and then presented the fresh fruit to Zhu Yu. At the same time, he also took one, peeled it and showed Zhu Yu how to eat it.
Zhu Yu followed suit and ate one too. His mouth felt sweet and not greasy. He smiled and said to Ran Jie and Qin Fei:
"Come on, you guys can try it too!"
At this time, Hans and Mira also got up.
Zhu Yu walked towards Hans and said while helping him pack his things:
"Mr. Hans, that lake may not be able to be excavated in a short time. What should we do next?"
Hans' expression was very complicated, and finally he sighed and said:
"Go to another ruins. We'll talk about this later. I've been to another ruins before, and people disappeared there in a hurry. I should be able to find some good things."
He was very unwilling, but had no choice.
Think about that deep lake. Let alone a few of them, no matter how many people there are, they can't get the treasure out of it.
Zhu Yu could understand Hans's discomfort.
After all, these people have seen those things with their own eyes and have basically determined that they are theirs.
It feels really uncomfortable to find a treasure after a lot of hard work, only to lose it again before it is warm in your hands.
Zhu Yu took the small backpack he brought and said to Hans:
"Here are the gold gems I picked up yesterday. Let's divide them now."
"No, no, no," Hans looked at those things, but shook his head and refused:
"That's what belongs to you, I can't take it."
Zhu Yu said:
"No, it belongs to us. We made an agreement from the beginning, and I own 30% of it, right?"
Hans hesitated.
Zhu Yu continued:
"But when it comes to distribution, I think we need to redefine the method——"
Hans looked at Zhu Yu.
Zhu Yu turned his head and motioned to Ran Jie and Qin Fei:
"Whether we go back or go to another ruins, we will have to rely on the two of them. So for the things in this, I suggest you take some of your part and give it to them..."
Zhu Yu's words were supposed to be a bit overwhelming, but Hans smiled after hearing this and was very happy:
"Okay, no problem! They saved me and Mira, they deserve it! No, not 10%, it's 10% for everyone! And you and I each have 40%!"
In this case, Zhu Yu and Hans would have the same quota.
Mira was right next to her, but she had no objection at all.
Her life was saved by Qin Fei, and she really didn't think about the treasure at this time.
Zhu Yu opened the backpack to distribute, but Hans waved his hand and said:
"Zhu, I believe you. It's best to leave the things with you. Now that we are separated, firstly, the distribution will be uneven, and secondly, if there is another emergency, I'm afraid that my share will be lost again - at most, you will have more when the time comes. Let’s allocate some storage fees.”
The last sentence was of course a joke. But since he said so, Zhu Yu followed suit and put away his backpack.
After breakfast, Zhu Yu and Hans studied the map and then announced that they were going to another ruins.
At the same time, Hans also announced that Ran Jie and Qin Fei would have a share of the treasure they had obtained, which made Ran Jie and Qin Fei very excited.
But that's it.
Hans was a little disappointed.
He roughly calculated that even if it was only 10%, it would be worth hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Why don't these two people feel excited?
He announced the matter first, hoping to win over Ran Jie and Qin Fei.
But these two people were unmoved. How could he not be disappointed?
This also made Hans more curious about the relationship between Zhu Yu and these two people.
On the surface, he is the boss, but does he have other relationships in private?
The group of people turned east. According to Hans, in that direction, there was a Mayan city ruins dozens or hundreds of kilometers away. When he was looking for this ruins one time, he passed by there and found some copper products inside.
Although it is not gold or silver, there are many collectors in New York who like this type of Mayan artifacts and have no worries about selling them.
Hundreds of kilometers is not that close in the jungle. But there is no shortcut in this business.
The supplies in the backpack are almost gone. Zhu Yu couldn't take out the food from the space anymore - that would leak too much food.
Fortunately, it was easy for Ran Jie, Qin Fei, and Pumiti to hunt and find food in the jungle, which prevented these people from starving.
Zhu Yu always felt like he was being watched or peeped at, but nothing happened every night.
Zhu Yu felt that he was getting nervous.
Fortunately, the journey was peaceful. No more piranha bushes or swarms of leeches or snakes.
Occasionally, they would encounter a lone person, and they would basically become food.
It's just that I was very tired physically and mentally from the journey, and I didn't take care of myself much. I was almost like the local tribesmen.
Half a month later, they finally found the ruins.
The scope of this ruins is much smaller than the ruins they almost slept in before, so standing on the periphery of the ruins will inevitably be a bit disappointing.
It was already getting late, so Zhu Yu suggested:
"How about we camp outside and rest first, and then go in and search at dawn tomorrow?"
No one else has an opinion.
After all, their previous experiences in the ruins left them with lingering worries and they couldn't make fun of their lives.
"Be more alert at night." Zhu Yu told Ran Jie and Qin Fei.
"Don't worry, boss." Both of them were very confident.
Zhu Yu nodded and entered his tent.
After he entered the tent, he took out the gem and crystal skull.
Today, the energy in the crystal skull is finally full.
Zhu Yu planned to flush the gem to see if he could get enough energy in the gem, and then feel the information inside.
After an hour of charging, the gem finally lit up again, and sure enough, it was full!
Zhu Yu happily put away the crystal skull, then placed the gem on his forehead and closed his eyes.
A flood of information flooded into my brain!
The Maya people in this area evolved from the initial tribal communities, to later villages and cities, and then to various subsequent developments.
History is swirling in Zhu Yu's mind like a movie. The inheritance of this priest is not only in the pyramid where the treasure was previously, but also in charge of the ruins of the city where they are currently!
And Zhu Yu now also knows why they almost slept to death in the previous ruins - because a plant similar to datura growing there is now in bloom.
These plants emit anesthetic gas when they bloom at night, and the flower bags close during the day. The original Mayans planted this plant at home to treat insomnia.
But after the city was abandoned, the growth of these plants was no longer restricted, so the entire city ruins were covered with that atmosphere.
The gem also explained how to raise the pyramid used for sacrifice - the procedure was very cumbersome and required human sacrifice. Without knowing whether it was true or not, Zhu Yu was not going to try it.
There was a vast amount of information in the gems. Zhu Yu consciously searched for information related to the nearby area, and then information about the current ruins of this small city appeared.
When this site was once under the jurisdiction of the priest who looked like Zhu Yu, the priest knew the layout of the city very well.
Later, that city was abandoned because of the plague - it was regarded as an ominous place, so even if there were treasures left by people who died due to the plague, no one went there to look for them.
Until the Mayans became extinct.
Zhu Yu memorized the layout of the city's ruins, then put away the gems and crystal skulls and fell asleep.
Too much information is transmitted in the mind, causing the brain to feel dizzy, and it takes a long time to feel better.
This made him very late when he got up the next day. It was Ran Jie who made the meal and woke him up.
Pumiti brought some more fruits and delivered them to Zhu Yu's tent.
He already knew that Zhu Yu didn't like him kneeling down, so he only respectfully offered food and blessings.
Zhu Yu also learned through Mira that Pumiti regarded Zhu Yu as the priest - not only the resemblance, but also the fact that Zhu Yu could bring them back to life, which in Pumiti's view was a miracle.
Zhu Yu explained that he was not a priest.
But Pumiti just smiled after hearing this and remained respectful when he should be respectful.
Later Hans joked:
"Just acquiesce. This way we can eat fresh fruit every day."
Zhu Yu was speechless.
Unable to refuse, Zhu Yu just let him go.
After breakfast, Zhu Yu and others entered the ruins. The tents and other things were left in place, guarded by Pumiti - who said he would not go in.
Zhu Yu wondered whether Pumiti's ancestors were also Mayan aborigines. He had an impression that this city ruins had been plagued by plague, so he did not dare to enter.
After they entered, they found that there were traces of excavation in some places.
Zhu Yu pointed to the ruins and said:
"This ruins is only two or three kilometers in radius. Let's search separately."
Hans nodded and said:
"Okay. I'll be around here. I'll call you if anything happens."
The ruins are not big, and there are no big trees inside, so the view is better than in the jungle. If anything happens, just shout and you'll be heard.
However, Zhu Yu still asked Ran Jie and Qin Fei to search near Hans and protect him.
He walked inside.
Ran Jiehe was a little worried, but Zhu Yu waved his hand, indicating that there was no problem.
He already has a goal.
