Chapter 524 Finding the Treasure, A Bountiful Harvest
"Alright." Adeline stepped forward with his sword and swung it to break the lock on the box.
"Clang!" The iron lock fell to the ground.
He opened the box, and a thick layer of dust rose up, revealing a box full of silver.
"Your Highness, it's silver."
"Hmm, let's open another box and take a look," Nangong Wu said again.
"Yes." Adeline then raised his sword and chopped off the lock on another box.
Upon opening the lid, they discovered that the box contained gold.
"It's a gold ingot."
Nangong Wu walked over and estimated that there were more than two hundred boxes here. The boxes were all made of fine wood, and the lids were covered with a thick layer of dust. The locks were also rusty, indicating that they had been here for a very long time.
Bei Chenyan picked up a gold ingot and examined it, finding words printed on the bottom.
"It is the mark of the former dynasty of the Northern Di Kingdom."
At this point, Adeline opened the third box.
The third box was filled with jewelry, a dazzling array of colors.
Bei Chenyan walked over, picked up a phoenix hairpin to examine it, and said, "This is a royal item."
"So, there's some truth to those rumors. These treasures were hidden here by the former emperor of the Northern Di Kingdom," Nangong Wu said.
Inside the space, Aiqi scanned the boxes with her eyes and told her, "There are two hundred and thirty-five large boxes in total, with gold being the most abundant."
Upon hearing this, Nangong Wu said to Adelin, "No need to look anymore, it's all gold and silver jewelry. Count how many boxes there are, let's take them back first."
These treasures were found by Adeline, so naturally he gets a share. Let him count the quantity.
Adeline shook his head. "I trust the princess's character. Let's not delay. You pack your things and we'll leave here first."
Nangong Wu nodded, "Alright, when you go back, you can take as much as you want as you can carry."
Two hundred and thirty-five large boxes; if divided into three parts, he should receive more than eighty boxes.
"In that case, I will thank you on behalf of my brothers, Princess." Adeline bowed to her.
"You've helped me a lot over the years, and that's what you deserve." Nangong Wu raised her hand, swept her thoughts around, and put all two hundred boxes into her spatial storage.
The huge cave immediately became empty, leaving only the marks of where the box had been placed.
"Let's go." Bei Chenyan took her hand and walked back.
The three of them exited the stone gate and arrived at the fork in the road. Bei Chenyan stopped and asked her, "Wuwu, which way do we go?"
Nangong Wu glanced at it and said, "If this is the entrance, then those people must have set up traps. Now that we have the treasure, there's no need to trigger those traps and create trouble for ourselves."
"Then let's go out the way we came." Bei Chenyan pulled her back along the way they came.
The path they took to get in was difficult, but at least it was safe.
The three of them climbed back onto the jumbled rocks.
This time it was much faster to go out; we'll go back the same way.
After walking for a short while, Bei Chenyan suddenly stopped again. "Someone has come in."
Nangong Wu listened carefully and indeed heard a jumble of footsteps, and there were many people.
"Keep going, maybe we'll run into Ling Yangzi and Bei Chenzhan," Nangong Wu said.
Upon hearing this, Bei Chenyan continued walking.
The sounds ahead became clearer, and the voices of people could be heard.
Just then, Aiqi's voice came through, "Master, it's already past seven o'clock in the evening. Why don't you come into the space first for dinner, and see who has come?"
"That's fine, but let's wait until we meet those people," Nangong Wu said.
After walking for another quarter of an hour, they saw a fire ahead. A man at the front, carrying a sword on his back and holding a torch, strode towards them, and the people behind him rushed to follow him.
"That giant python just now had its head cut off; it was obviously the first one to come in. I never imagined the treasure trove would be here."
"It's obvious the treasure has already been found. Let's hurry, or we'll miss out on everything!"
"With such a commotion just now, those people must still be inside. We can't let them leave with the treasure! We have to get a share no matter what..."
"Let's do it here!" Nangong Wu pulled Bei Chenyan back. "I'm hungry. Let's go into the space and have dinner first."
Bei Chenyan suddenly realized that it was already late. He glanced at the time on his watch and thought, "It's already 7 PM."
With a thought, Nangong Wu brought Beichen Yan and Adelin into the space.
When Adeline first entered her space, she felt her vision suddenly brighten, and all she saw was an unfamiliar environment.
Thinking he had discovered something, he instinctively drew his sword.
But the next moment, Bei Chenyan sat down on a long chair that looked like a soft couch, as if nothing had happened, and naturally picked up a teapot from the table and poured tea into a cup.
"here it is……"
Aiqi pushed a food cart out, announcing, "Dinner's ready!"
"Let's eat first." Nangong Wu walked to a sink and turned on the tap to wash her hands.
Adlin sheathed his sword but didn't ask any questions, simply placing it aside.
After washing her hands, Nangong Wu heard the person outside approaching and raised her hand slightly.
Suddenly, the space became transparent, and the sounds of footsteps and voices came in, as if they were in that cave, but not quite. The first person carrying a torch hurried past them.
"We'll eat and watch. If we see anyone who deserves to be killed, we'll act immediately." Nangong Wu picked up her chopsticks and started eating.
Bei Chenyan and Adeline washed their hands and sat down.
As they ate, they watched people hurrying past them outside.
Upon seeing this, Aiqi couldn't help but say, "Luckily, we found the treasure first. Otherwise, no matter who found it first, they wouldn't be able to take it with them, and it would have caused a chaotic battle."
"If we hadn't found it, those people wouldn't have been able to find the treasure inside either," Nangong Wu said calmly.
First of all, they had no idea where the treasure was hidden.
Even if they knew that this cave was so long, possibly connecting several mountains, and that it would take more than ten hours to walk from one end to the other, they would still not be able to find it.
"You can eat in peace! I'll keep an eye on them," Eileen said to them.
Outside the space, more and more people came in, all running, making even the narrowest places crowded.
"These people who came in first aren't Zeng Guanhai's people?" Bei Chenyan's gaze was thoughtful.
Eileen continued, "Your Highness, isn't it obvious? Zeng Guanhai is a man who has the big picture under control."
If it were me, and I saw that someone had discovered treasure, and so many people wanted to steal it, I would definitely make them fight each other to the death first, so I could reap the benefits later…”
