With a warehouse full of supplies, I stood alone as king in this chaotic world, gun in hand.
Chapter 521 The Land of Treasure
Nangong Wu said, "The detection instruments have shown some reaction, but that doesn't necessarily mean there are gold and silver treasures."
At this moment, Eileen said to her from the space: "Master, you have been walking for more than five hours. It is now past noon. It is time to have lunch."
Upon hearing this, Nangong Wu checked the time and realized it was already past midnight. "We've actually been walking for almost three hours."
"I'm hungry, let's eat something first before we continue searching." Bei Chenyan took the detector from her hand and put it aside.
"Alright." Nangong Wu also felt very hungry. She found a flat spot, moved a table out of her mind, and set out food and three chairs.
"Sit down and eat."
Bei Chenyan and Adeline also sat down.
"You're all tired, have some soup to warm yourselves up." Nangong Wu ladled a bowl of hot soup for each of them.
"Thank you, Princess." Adeline accepted the soup bowl, somewhat flattered.
"Adelin, regardless of whether we find the treasure this time or not, once we return to Runan City, I will send you back to the Northern Region first," Nangong Wu said to him.
This was promised to him before. Now that they have completely broken away from the Western Yan Kingdom, it's time to let them go home.
"Princess, I know you're very busy right now. Why don't we wait until Runan City is built before we leave?" Adeline knew she was busy.
"No, you're already thirty-five. It might take two years for Runan City to be completed, and it might take you another year or two to walk back to your hometown in the Northern Region. The poison in your body might take effect sooner than expected. It's better to send you away as soon as possible, and take the antidote as soon as you get home," Nangong Wu instructed him.
Hearing this, Adeline felt very bad. "I will listen to the princess, but you are too busy. We can walk by ourselves."
"It might take you three months to travel from Runan City to the northwest of the Northern Di Kingdom. I'll send you by plane, which will only take two days. I'm sending you, so you don't need to refuse," Nangong Wu said.
"Yes," Adeline replied, bowing his head.
The three of them didn't say anything more, quietly finished their lunch, and then continued walking inside.
Just as Adeline had said, the further in you go, the more difficult it becomes.
Fortunately, the instrument's sensing capabilities are getting stronger.
"If this feeling is indeed a treasure, we still need to walk more than two miles further in," Nangong Wu said.
"Then let's walk faster." Bei Chenyan pulled her along.
Having found their target, they no longer needed to probe as they walked, and the three quickened their pace.
"Oh no!" Bei Chenyan suddenly picked up Nangong Wu and leaped onto a stalagmite.
Adeline also spun around and dodged to the side.
"Bang!" A sharp force slammed heavily onto a rock, sending shards of stone flying everywhere.
"Hiss hiss hiss..." A hissing sound rang out.
Nangong Wu's expression changed; it was the python's voice, and an AK immediately appeared in her hand.
"Don't use the gun, I'll handle it," Bei Chenyan said to her, then drew his sword from his waist and leaped down.
Nangong Wu adjusted the flashlight in her hand to diffuse the light, so that she could see more clearly.
It turned out to be a very thick python, its long tail violently slapping the ground and the stone walls on both sides, sending rubble flying everywhere.
"Bang bang bang..."
Bei Chenyan leaped forward, dodging the venom sprayed by the snake, and slashed down fiercely with his sword.
"Pfft~~"
The giant python was instantly decapitated and crashed heavily to the ground.
Although the python was beyond saving, the force of its tail struggled was still immense. The small, dusty space was filled with splattered dust, and the severed half of its head could still jump up, its mouth opening and closing to spray venom.
Bei Chenyan leaped back to Nangong Wu's side and said to her boastfully, "Wuwu, my martial arts are pretty good, aren't they!"
"You could have killed this beast with just a few shots, but you insisted on killing it yourself." Nangong Wu disapproved of his actions. "It's a venomous python with highly corrosive venom. If the venom gets on your face and ruins your skin, I won't want you anymore."
"How could that be? If I can't even kill a python, then all my martial arts skills have been for nothing!" Bei Chenyan's lips curled up as he took her hand.
"I'm sorry to have worried you! I just broke through to the eleventh level and wanted to test its power."
Seeing how intimate the two of them were, Adelin quickly turned away.
"Just this once." Nangong Wu rolled her eyes at him, took a step forward, and said, "Let's go!"
"Wait for me." Bei Chenyan quickly followed her.
"Be careful, there might be other pythons in here." Nangong Wu handed a flashlight to Bei Chenyan and held a pistol in her hand.
As they continued forward, the signals from the detection instruments became increasingly stronger.
"There really is gold and silver treasure here, and quite a lot of it." Nangong Wu's heart was filled with anticipation.
If we were to obtain the treasures here, it would be a truly unexpected windfall.
"Can it measure how much distance is left?" Bei Chenyan also came over to look at the instrument.
"We can measure it now. We're still over 700 meters from the treasure's location." Nangong Wu looked at the instrument.
"More than seven hundred meters?" Bei Chenyan calculated for a moment, "Five hundred meters is equal to one li, which is about one and a half li."
Let's go!
Upon seeing that there was indeed a treasure, the three of them quickened their pace.
As the target drew closer, from 600 meters to 500 meters, two forks appeared ahead.
"Let's go to the left," Nangong Wu said to them, looking at the instruments.
The three of them headed down the left fork in the road.
When we were more than 300 meters away from our destination, there was no road ahead, only a small hole about a foot in size, which was impossible for a person to climb through.
"There's no way out?" Adeline looked at the small hole.
"Adelin, have you been here before?" Nangong Wu asked him.
"There's a large amount of gold and silver hidden more than 300 meters from here, which means we still have a long way to go." Nangong Wu examined the stone wall. "Let's search first; there might be a hidden door."
Upon hearing her words, both Bei Chenyan and Adelin tapped their swords against the stone wall.
Since the treasure was hidden by people, there must be a way through it.
Nangong Wu put down the instrument and took out a large lamp to shine on it.
"Master, walk along the stone wall for a while, and we'll scan you," Aiqi said to her.
"Okay." Nangong Wu also took a sword and tapped it on the wall.
"Those people are really capable; they managed to hide the treasure here."
"The story of this treasure has been circulating here for hundreds of years, and wave after wave of treasure hunters have come to search for it, but no one has ever found it," Adeline said.
