Courtyard House: Why is my time-travel experience so shabby?

In the early morning, at ugly time, the waters of Ryukyu Island were covered with dark clouds.

The sea was as dark as ink, and there was no other sound except the dull sound of the rolling waves. The silence was a bit breathtaking.

At the edge of Treasure Island, Du Weiguo knelt down, drew out his Kusanagi sword, cut off a piece of earth-yellow rock, and weighed it in his hand.

Needless to say, the density of this thing was not low, and it was so heavy that it fell into the hand. However, he couldn't understand it, so he handed it to Dr. Jones beside him.

Dr. Jones, who has a lot of knowledge, just shook it with a flashlight, looked at it a little, and introduced it as Shu Jiazhen said:

"This is yellow wax raw stone, which is a kind of mineral quartz stone. Chinese people have always liked it very much. They also gave this stone a nice name called Dragon King Jade.

Dr. Jones threw down the stone in his hand: "But the rough stone from Treasure Island has too many impurities and is not valuable."

He used his flashlight to shine on the white reef not far away:

"The gray-white reef over there is also a kind of quartz stone, called fish belly white. There should have been earthquakes in this sea area.

The violent movement of the seafloor crust forced the rock formations out of the ground to form such a magical landscape. "

It has to be said that the old man Jones has a huge reserve of knowledge, and he can speak clearly and clearly, which can be called a mobile encyclopedia.

However, Du Weiguo showed little interest in this, his eyes were empty, and he was a little distracted.

He had just returned to Sijiu City and met Yang Caiyu, who was thinking about it day and night. He was in an agitated mood at the moment, with mixed emotions, and he didn't know what he was thinking about.

Just now, Du Weiguo almost couldn't help but wake up Yang Caiyu and take her away with him.

Although the journey was long and difficult, he believed that no one dared to stop him, and no one could stop him, but he still couldn't.

Du Weiguo seems to be extremely illustrious now, but in fact he has a notorious reputation and is already stinky. If he just takes Yang Caiyu away like this.

So, if he has a problem, he doesn't have to die. As long as he disappears for a while, everyone who is related to Yang Caiyu will probably understand.

"Wesley, what are you thinking about?"

Laura noticed something strange about Du Weiguo, came over and touched him lightly. Du Weiguo came back to his senses and said casually:

"Oh, nothing? Now that Treasure Island has been discovered, let's quickly find the entrance to the treasure."

"No need to look for it, the entrance is obvious, right there."

Dr. Jones raised his flashlight and pointed at the junction of the yellow and white rocks. Du Weiguo turned his head and took a look in the direction he pointed. There was a dark crack there.

In Du Weiguo's extraordinary vision, there are obvious traces of human excavation below this gap. In other words, it is semi-natural.

If the treasure of Wufeng Captain Wang Zhi really exists, then there is a high probability that it is hidden under this crack.

This crack is bottomless, more like an abyss than a crack.

It was dark, wet, and filled with water vapor, like the gaping mouth of an unknown monster, leading directly to the netherworld. Even Du Weiguo's fiery eyes could not see through it.

"Bah!"

The orange light lit up, Laura lit a burning stick and threw it into the gap.

However, not long after it fell, the burning rod was completely engulfed by the intense darkness. Even Du Weiguo could only see a few hundred meters before losing his vision.

Laura’s brows frowned tightly: “I didn’t hear the sound of landing, how deep is it?”

"The lack of echo proves that the depth exceeds 500 meters. Perhaps it is too humid or for other reasons. This kind of quartz stone has light-absorbing properties."

Dr. Jones' tone was slightly solemn. As he spoke, he turned on the strong hernia flashlight and shook the dents on the stone wall.

"But the entrance to the treasure must be here. There should obviously be traces of humans there."

The stone wall where the crack originally went down was uneven, with interlocking teeth like a monster's mouth, but the part that Dr. Jones shined with a flashlight was relatively smooth.

There are even some obvious holes. It seems that something similar to stairs should have been installed in the past, but it has been corroded by the sea water for a long time.

"Tsk, to be able to dig out a treasure cave in such a desperate situation is indeed a feat of miraculous craftsmanship. The wisdom of the ancient Chinese is simply astonishing."

Dr. Jones looked at the two symmetrical rows of holes on the stone wall carefully and admired them sincerely.

At his age, he has no children, and the soil has been buried deep in his throat. It seems that he has already despised money and jewelry, and is indifferent to fame and fortune, preferring pure research and exploration.

Laura stared at the deep crack, frowned and asked:

"Doctor, Treasure Island has spent half of its time sunk at the bottom of the sea. Even if there is indeed a treasure, it has probably been corroded long ago.

Moreover, there are no legendary dangers here. My parents are both experienced explorers. How could they disappear? "

Dr. Jones rubbed his chin and pondered slightly:

"It's hard to say. The miraculous craftsmanship of nature is far beyond imagination. It is very likely that there are caves on the side of the stone wall that can isolate the sea water. As for the danger~"

"Ah."

Du Weiguo, who had been silent all this time, suddenly interrupted him with a chuckle, his tone slightly teasing:

"I don't know if there are treasures or dangers under the cracks, but there are definitely some weird things on this island."

"Huh? What do you mean?"

Upon hearing this, Laura was immediately horrified.

He quickly leaned against Du Weiguo's side, picked up the specially customized alloy recurve bow in his hand, and looked around vigilantly.

"Wesley, what did you find?"

Even Dr. Jones frowned and asked, but there was a hint of ambiguity in his eyes.

"Hey, look back, where is the Poseidon now?"

After hearing this, the two people immediately turned to look at the sea. At this moment, the sea was empty and pure black. The Poseidon salvage ship parked in the distance had long since disappeared without a trace.

The location where the Poseidon is parked is about 3 nautical miles away from Treasure Island. This area of ​​​​the sea is covered with dense reefs and large ships cannot pass, so they just came here in a powered kayak.

Of course, this kind of search for secrets cannot be carried out by amateurs, and with Du Weiguo present, there are no dangers.

When they left just now, they specifically asked the Poseidon to keep the bright lights on. Under the current visibility, it is clearly visible within 5 nautical miles.

In fact, just a few minutes ago, before they landed on the island, they could clearly see the lights, but now, there was no light on the sea and it was pitch black.

Originally, according to Du Weiguo's keenness, he must have discovered it early on, but he was so distracted just now that he really didn't notice it.

"What's going on? Could it be that something happened suddenly on the Poseidon, so the lights were turned off?"

The sudden change occurred, and Laura was so shocked that her hair stood on end. Fortunately, she had a good psychological quality, so she forced herself to calm down and tentatively came up with a hypothesis.

Du Weiguo shook his head: "Impossible. I can see it even if the lights are turned off at a distance of 3 nautical miles."

His tone was calm and determined, and it was indeed the case. The dark night was no obstacle to him, and it didn't matter whether the lights were on or not.

Not to mention a mere 3 nautical miles, even 10 nautical miles is not a problem. The problem now is that even he can't find the Poseidon.

And there was no fog or the like that blocked the view. The huge salvage ship disappeared out of thin air as if it was suddenly swallowed by the sea.

Du Weiguo took out his satellite phone and glanced at it, but there was no signal. His satellite phone was given to him by King Merlin when he was staying in Okinawa.

Senior Citizen military officials said that the dedicated communicator for the Asian region was served by a dedicated communication satellite, and the signal was poor. Anyway, during the Poseidon, the signal was full.

Therefore, there is no doubt that there is something fishy about the situation before us.

The old man Jones was as calm as ever. After thinking for a while, he said in a deep voice:

"This sea area is treacherous and changeable. It is most likely due to the undercurrent, which has unknowingly changed the relative position of the Poseidon and us."

Laura was a little skeptical about this statement:

"Dr. Jones, even if you change your position, you can't go very far in such a short period of time. Even if we can't see it, Wesley can always see it."

Dr. Jones shook his head:

"Not necessarily. The power of the undercurrent is very terrifying. Let alone a ship, sometimes it can even move an island instantly."

Du Weiguo was noncommittal about the answer explained by Dr. Jones. He actually had a different conjecture.

Two possibilities, first, man-made disaster. The black captain named Bobby also saw Treasure Island. Not only did he deliberately turn off the lights when he saw Cai Cai, but he also quickly sailed away from the sea after they disembarked.

At that time, Du Weiguo was preoccupied with Yang Caiyu's affairs and was so distracted that he did not notice the situation of the salvage ship at all.

Second, natural disasters, specifically the field!

Before, when he encountered the blood beast on Hong Kong Island, Uncle Jiu once explained the concept of "field" to him.

Uncle Jiu said that according to Feng Shui, "fields" are usually formed in a specific area, and often have unexplainable phenomena.

The inexplicable disappearance of the Poseidon is most likely because the entire Treasure Island is a huge "field".

However, this possibility is not high. If the "field" here is so strong that it can even affect the spiritual barrier, it would be a bit scary. Du Weiguo will definitely be able to sense the danger.

"Wesley, what should we do now?"

Laura’s question interrupted his thoughts.

She asked about Jones, but she looked at Du Weiguo. Jones also looked at him with burning eyes. It was obvious that as the absolute combat power, he was the backbone of this team.

"Ha~"

Du Weiguo chuckled, his tone was relaxed and without any waves:

"You've come here, so naturally you have to go down and find out. How can there be any reason to enter Baoshan and come back empty-handed? Besides, the rubber boat is still there, so it doesn't matter even if the tide rises."

The powered rubber boat they came on was parked quietly on the edge of Treasure Island, floating with the waves.

Of course Du Weiguo doesn't care. No matter how evil this place is, it can't isolate the space. He can escape thousands of miles with just a thought, so he is naturally confident.

As for Laura, to be honest, he doesn't care much, and Jones, what the hell, does it have to do with him?

When encountering danger, if it is within the scope of his ability, he will definitely reach out. If it threatens his own safety, he will definitely let go without hesitation.

To put it bluntly, the friendship between Du Weiguo and Laura is not that deep. The so-called skin-to-skin relationship, huh, is just a joke, who would take it seriously?

Today, after experiencing countless ups and downs and experiences, Du Weiguo has long been trained to have a heart as hard as iron and a face as thick as a wall. It is difficult for him to show his true feelings to anyone with his heart and soul.

With his current temperament, if he met Zuo Lan again, let alone helping him, he probably wouldn't even look at him.

People will eventually change.

"Okay, then let's hurry up and go down. There are still 4 hours until the tide is high."

The old man Jones was very decisive, without hesitation at all, he made a decision quickly, Laura also nodded:

"Okay, then I'll go to the ship to get the equipment."

A moment later, by the side of the rubber boat, Du Weiguo smiled and handed Jones a brand new AKM along with several spare magazines.

"Dr. Jones, the current situation is a bit special. We must leave someone to guard the retreat. You can use a gun."

"Oh, yes, I did drive it when I was young."

Jones didn't shirk it, he took it with a smile, pulled the gun bolt quickly, and checked it familiarly.

Du Weiguo gave a very good reason, and there was another very important reason, but out of consideration for Jones's face, he did not say it.

Although Dr. Jones is knowledgeable, he is old after all. Now that his time is limited, he is simply not qualified for such high-intensity, high-physical, and high-risk work as cliff rappelling.

Of course, Du Weiguo has sufficient ability to take him down, but why?

"I'm sorry, doctor. I'll give you a walkie-talkie. If anything happens, we'll communicate in a timely manner."

Laura handed him the walkie-talkie a little shyly, and Jones patted her shoulder generously:

"It's okay, Laura, you have to pay attention to your own safety."

"Okay." Laura nodded.

At the edge of the fissure, Laura cautiously drove 6 pitons on the reef in one breath, then lowered the rappelling rope, took a deep breath, and nodded firmly towards Du Weiguo.

"Go, don't worry, I will always be by your side."

"it is good."

After receiving Du Weiguo's firm assurance, Laura's eyes flashed with determination, no longer hesitating, she clenched the safety buckle with her gloves and jumped towards the dark abyss.

Her movements were fast, professional, and very nimble. In just a few ups and downs, she dropped dozens of meters in an instant.

"Whoo~"

Du Weiguo exhaled the smoke expressionlessly, and jumped down towards the crack without any safety measures.

"Oh maiga!"

Old Jones on the shore could not help but let out an exclamation of exclamation when he saw his shocking death-seeking behavior.

With the wind blowing in his ears, Du Weiguo fell like a meteor for more than ten meters. Suddenly, he exerted force on his feet and kicked off the stone wall. His figure suddenly turned to the other side like a night owl.

With his arms relaxed, Du Weiguo accurately grasped a raised rock and stabilized his body. Then he continued to fall, using his strength to change direction again~

To be honest, such an extreme falling method is a skill that Du Weiguo will only recently unlock.

Recently, his physique has been so strong that he can withstand the huge gravity of the fall without straining his muscles.

From a purely physical point of view, Du Weiguo's physique should be comparable to Spider-Man in the Women's Federation at his peak, second only to Thor and the Hulk.

Adopting such an extreme falling method, Du Weiguo was already at Laura's side in just the blink of an eye. The evil shuttle in his hand suddenly penetrated the stone wall and stopped his fall.

Laura had just raised her head and saw Du Weiguo's incredible whereabouts, and was stunned.

"Wesley, you are so amazing, you are like a god descending to earth." Laura was dazzled and praised sincerely.

"puff!"

Du Weiguo slapped a piton on the stone wall in front of Laura's chest with his bare hands and said calmly:

"Refasten the sling."

"Ok?"

Laura was startled by Du Weiguo's magical operation, her eyes were straightened, but when she heard what he said, her brows immediately raised:

"Wesley, do you doubt Dr. Jones? He has a good character and a good mouth~"

Du Weiguo shook his head and interrupted her lightly:

"No, Laura, I'm not doubting him, this is just the most basic caution. After all, there are multiple escape routes, so be prepared."

"Oh, oh, I know."

Laura followed suit and immediately tied the Prussian knot skillfully and re-fixed the rappel rope.

After rappelling down to 280 meters, when the rappelling rope was about to reach the bottom, the artificial holes on the rock wall finally disappeared, and a square hole appeared in front.

This cave entrance is about 2 meters high and 1 meter wide. At first glance, it seems that it was dug by humans. The entrance is very flat, and inside is a deep tunnel that slopes upward.

This should be the entrance to the treasure cave. Du Weiguo and Laura stopped at the entrance of the cave without saying a word.

Not far from the entrance of the cave, there was a skeleton lying prone on the ground. Due to the erosion of the sea water, it had already become rotten to the point of appearance.

"Dad~"

As soon as she saw this set of skeletons, Laura's pupils suddenly trembled, she froze on the spot, and then she cried out sadly.

Her eyes were red and weeping, and she wanted to rush over like crazy, but Du Weiguo frowned and held her back:

"Dad? Laura, you see clearly, this can't be your father's skeleton?"

"No, don't stop me, this is my dad!"

Laura was already in tears at this moment, twisting her whole body, struggling hard, with frightening strength.

It's a pity that Du Weiguo's big hands were as if they were made of steel, tightly holding her shoulders, making it impossible to break free. His tone was also particularly harsh:

"Laura, calm down, how can you prove that this is your father?"

Laura looked stern, regained her composure slightly, pointed at the skeleton, and said with a choked sob:

"My father, he, when he was young, he injured his left shoulder and had three steel nails inserted into it. It couldn't have been wrong."

Du Weiguo turned his head and glanced, his brows furrowed and his face became solemn.

Because there are no steel nails on the left shoulder of this skeleton at all, and it is very obvious that it is an Asian skeleton, or even a woman.

Hallucination, there must be something in this cave that can make people hallucinate!

Sure enough, as long as the events he experienced were not smooth sailing, he would have to go through some twists and turns. (End of chapter)
