Pirates of the Navy Thunder God

Chapter 684: The Correct Approach to Treasure Hunting (33)

"Come on, let's go in."

Standing at the entrance of the ruins, Ron put out his cigar and signaled the soldiers to take action.

The biggest flaw in treasure hunting stories is that there are always only a small group of people taking part in the adventure, and they always seem to be short of manpower when faced with emergencies. As a result, the story becomes very thrilling and the protagonist may die on the spot if he is not careful.

But Ron wasn't here for excitement.

At a command, the fully armed navy soldiers raised their large shields, climbed to the top of the ruins, and slid into the ruins along the vines along the large hole they had made.

Instead of going directly through the front gate, they chiseled open the ruins with the help of some experienced veterans, creating a tunnel that led directly to the interior.

This is a classic practical example of the power of numbers.

The traps that caused heavy casualties among the treasure hunters in the original novel were directly destroyed, and the various javelin arrows in the passage were surrounded and cleared out one by one by the soldiers and discarded outside.

Looking at the ruins riddled with holes before him, it took Alva a long time to come to his senses.

This is not the treasure hunt I imagined!

Are you here to do the demolition?

If Ael knew what Ron had done, he would definitely be stunned on the spot.

Where's my trap?
Where are all my traps? You were still here just now?!
As we entered the passage, the soldiers who had been exploring the way had lit torches on the walls, making the passage brightly lit.

Ron walked leisurely along the passage as if he was on a picnic. All the traps and sunken holes on the road had been cleared by the soldiers and covered with wooden boards for easy passage.

If it weren't for the fact that this was a relic, anyone who came here would probably think it was a mining site.

"General Canglong, the road ahead is blocked by lava. We are clearing it. Please wait a moment."

Soon, he came to the lava hall where Brook showed his skills in the original book. It was surrounded by a circle of boiling and steaming red magma. There was a peacock harp on the high platform in the center. He needed to perform the music perfectly according to the score before he could go deeper.

However, this ingenious literary trap encountered unreasonable naval soldiers.

As the saying goes, when a scholar encounters a soldier, there is no reason to explain.

These guys first used a stand to randomly hit the piano keys to trigger the arrows on the wall. They repeated this dozens of times and finally used up all the hidden weapons.

Then a group of people took tools and dug trenches to allow the magma to slowly drain out along the trenches.

"Why don't you use the peacock harp? Isn't it enough to just play according to the score?"

Alva asked curiously.

"I'm very sorry, the score is on paper, it's hard to see what's written, and some key parts are missing."

The soldier quickly answered: "So this is the only way to crack it."

Alva: “…”

Well, there really is nothing we can do about it.

"3, 2, 1... detonate!"

Bang! !

A small amount of explosives blew up the walls of the magma pool, revealing a series of black channels. If nothing unexpected happens, under normal circumstances, the magma will flow out from here after the music is played.

Soldiers with pickaxes were clearing away the rubble after the explosion, and soon someone shouted in surprise: "Sir, we found a staircase to continue forward!"

"Great, keep going!"

Ron was very satisfied with the soldiers' work efficiency. After the lightning stimulation equipment became widely available, these ordinary soldiers were also able to be strengthened a bit. Their strength was incomparable to before, and they were the best labor force to do hard labor.

Looking at Alva who looked unhappy beside him, Ron smiled and said, "I think this video can be spread to the sea. The name of the video is "On the Correct Posture of Treasure Hunting"."

Alva: “…”

Please do as you please, I'm numb.

Soon, on the cliff, a group of people dragged away the bodies of the Triceratops and Pterosaur, and then hundreds of soldiers raised their guns in unison.

"preparation……"

The squad leader stood aside and waved his hand vigorously. "Fire!"

Bang bang bang!
With every gunshot, Alva felt his passion for treasure hunting dim. The target, which was difficult to hit due to the updraft, was shattered into pieces by the soldiers' random gunfire, revealing the path to the next section of the journey.

Next to the crocodile mouth trap, Ron remembered that there was a secret door left by Ael at the entrance of the passage that could directly open the mechanism and lead to the laboratory.

Otherwise, he would have to go through so much trouble every time he came in. He must be crazy.

But looking at the enthusiastic soldiers, Ron gave up the idea.

"Can you do this? You've made three mistakes!"

"Hmph, just watch!"

The two soldiers were arguing while inserting the key into the roulette-shaped keyhole.

Zizizi!
The numbing sound of electricity was heard, which would surely be extremely painful for an ordinary person. However, for these guys who had undergone intensive training with lightning stimulation equipment, this amount of current was not even enough to tickle them.

The soldier took the key back expressionlessly and pursed his lips in dissatisfaction.

"I don't want to play anymore, next one."

Soon, the mechanism was cracked, and everyone cheered as they looked at the passage at the back.

But at this moment...

Click!

A crisp sound was heard, and everyone looked back and found that the floor in the center of the hall had fallen down, revealing a pitch-black passage.

Ron was standing by the door, holding a gate controller that was not there just now, and gave them a playful smile.

"General Canglong, could this be..."

Alva asked, feeling a bad feeling in his heart.

"Ah, that's right! I found it just now. You know, I'm a thunder man. There is no metal that can hide from my perception."

"Then why did you..."

Alva's mouth twitched and he fell silent.

"Don't look at me like that... Think about it, if this is some kind of self-destruct device and the road ahead isn't open, won't we be trapped here?"

The soldiers looked at each other and finally chose to believe what Ron said.

Otherwise, what else can be done?
They would also feel desperate if they met a superior with a bad temper!
In short, the group split into two groups. One group, led by Alva, went ahead to explore the way, and the other group followed Ron and jumped down the passage to Ael's laboratory.

“Pure gold!!”

Looking at the large piece of pure gold stored in the container, Ron smiled.

"Finally found!"

Since Ael had no reason to die with them, the ruins' self-destruct device was not activated. Ron smashed the bottle, held the pure gold in his hand, and gave an order.

"Quickly find a way to leave. Today, we have accomplished a great deed!!"

"Oh!!!"

Den Den Mushi faithfully recorded the entire process of this treasure hunt, including the shock on everyone's faces when pure gold was finally discovered.

The gold glittering in the dark seemed so unreal.

However, without anyone noticing, Ron turned his back to them and twirled his fingers, causing a second piece of glittering gold to slip out of his sleeve and land on his palm.

The piece of real pure gold was put into his sleeve and covered by the wide cloak of justice.

Listening to the cheers from the soldiers, Ron's lips curled up.

"Pure gold, pure gold, don't let me down."
