Rebirth of the Flying Era

Du Fei and Ci Xin came to the basement of the temple.

The darkness does not affect their vision, and all the underground mechanisms have been destroyed. Now they only need to pay attention to avoid the poisoning place.

The most obvious sign of these places is the dead rat.

Du Fei walked slowly to the door of the nearest secret room.

A wooden and iron-clad door blocked the doorway.

Without Du Fei taking action, Ci Xin stepped forward and pushed forward with the magic pestle.

She didn't use too much force. The door bolt inside had been bitten off by Xiao Hong. The door slowly opened with a "creep" and hit the wall with a clang.

Inside is a space more than four meters wide and six meters long.

I don't know how long it has been since it was opened, and everything inside was covered with thick dust.

There are two rows of wooden shelves along the left and right sides of the room, filled with countless treasures.

All you can see is gold, various utensils, and statues, inlaid with precious stones of various colors.

In the innermost part of the secret room, there was a box along the corner. The lid of the box was not closed, and it was full of gold coins.

These gold coins were either minted locally or brought by Spanish and Portuguese colonists.

Du Fei was not polite and walked directly in. He waved his hand next to the wooden frame and put a piece of treasure into his pocket.

Before coming, Du Fei specially organized his personal space, just because he was afraid that it would not be enough at critical times.

Now, except for some necessary items, most of them are arms, which takes up about one-third of the space.

Although the mercenaries Du Fei brought with him were well armed to the teeth, they were marching on foot after all, and their carrying capacity was limited.

It's okay to deal with ordinary enemies, but it will be stretched when encountering those with heavy weapons.

After collecting all the gold treasures in this secret room, Du Fei checked his personal space.

If the value of art and cultural relics of these treasures is not calculated, and the weight of gold is calculated alone, there are nearly ten tons of gold in this secret room alone.

A smile appeared on Du Fei's face and he went directly to the second secret room.

This is the opposite door to the secret room just now. There is no other situation, it is almost the same as before.

With a bang, the door to the secret room opened and hit the wall.

It is still full of gold, but it is different from the first secret room. Directly opposite the door of the secret room, the first secret room has a box full of gold coins, but here there is a box full of gold coins. A solid elephant sculpture half a man tall and made entirely of gold!

Du Fei couldn't help but his eyes lit up.

Before he traveled through time, when he saw this piece of news, he mentioned this statue of a golden elephant.

Unfortunately, there are no photos, so I can only imagine what this golden elephant looks like.

Now I have a chance to see her true appearance.

Du Fei walked over and stretched out his hand to wipe the dust on the golden elephant's head. The elephant statue was about one meter high, with its trunk hanging straight down and its eyes inlaid with sapphires.

In the darkness, Du Fei couldn't help but look at the elephant a few more times.

Especially the gems on the elephant's eyes seem to hide some strange power.

Du Fei narrowed his eyes slightly, and with a thought, he put the golden elephant into his portable space.

Suddenly there was a roar, and Du Fei felt his personal space vibrate.

I had collected so many gold objects and gems in these two secret rooms before, but there was no such big reaction.

With this golden elephant entering the portable space, it's like adding a handful of mints to Coke.

The entire portable space shook violently, and the white ball of light that was originally suspended in the center of the space began to rotate rapidly, and the blue light belt surrounding the white ball of light also accelerated, flying around like a chicken blood.

Du Fei could feel that huge energy was released from this golden elephant, which directly caused the boundaries of the portable space to rapidly expand outward.

In just a few breaths, the radius of the space extended outward by three or four meters.

I feel that the total volume of the portable space has nearly doubled, and the white light and blue light in this golden elephant no longer leak out.

At the same time, Du Fei also felt that there seemed to be something else inside this golden elephant.

The feeling was somewhat similar to the feeling when I saw the statue of Vishnu when I entered the temple just now.

But once you enter the portable space, no matter what the golden elephant is doing, it won't help.

In the blink of an eye, the energy contained in it was exhausted, and the strange aura contained therein also disappeared.

Du Fei didn't pay attention to this. Whether it was the statue of Vishnu enshrined in the temple or this golden elephant statue, if they were placed in ancient times, people would really have no way to deal with them due to low productivity.

But now, with thermal weapons becoming more and more powerful, times have completely changed.

If it had been a few hundred years ago, with the current strength of Compassion, he would definitely have been worshiped as a god.

But now, in the face of a powerful war machine, even someone as strong as Compassion cannot be unscrupulous.

Not to mention these things left in the corners.

After coming out of the second secret room, Du Fei came to the third secret room.

According to what the young man just said, there are only two secret rooms under the temple.

But before Du Fei was reborn, the news he saw said that there were four secret rooms under the temple.

But now when they came to the temple, through Xiaohong and Xiaohui's exploration, they found that there were more than four secret rooms!

Besides these four secret rooms, there are actually two more secret real secret rooms.

Du Fei collected the gold treasures from the other two secret rooms and finally came to the fifth room, which was also the first real secret room.

In fact, the first four rooms cannot be called secret rooms strictly speaking.

When you come down the stairs, you can see the door directly. It's clearly right there.

Only the last two rooms have no ‘doors’!

It can only be opened through the secret agency.

This couldn't stop Du Fei, and the rats released quickly found the mechanism hidden in the wall.

Then naturally, the entrances to the two secret rooms were found.

These two secret rooms are smaller than the previous four rooms, and the things stored in them are also different.

The previous four rooms were filled with various utensils, obviously offerings to the gods.

But in the end, one of the two rooms contained boxes and boxes of ancient gold coins, filling a room full of them!

The location of Kerala was an important hub for trade between the East and the West in ancient times, from the earliest Arab traders to modern European colonists.

East-West trade brought untold profits to the royal family of Kerala.

Du Fei collected these gold coins, which are roughly estimated to be more than thirty tons. The time span is very large. The earliest can be traced back to the 12th century, and the latest is the gold pound issued by Yingguo in the 19th century.

And in another secret room, it was also filled with gold, but it was no longer gold coins, but gold ingots!

There are ones with ten taels, some with fifty taels, and there are gold cakes, which are bigger and have Chinese characters on them.

Looking at the year, the earliest one is from the Yuan Dynasty, and the latest is the Xianfeng year from the former Qing Dynasty.

After reading these two secret rooms, Du Fei probably guessed what was going on.

The four rooms in the front should be tributes from believers, and the last two secret rooms are where the royal family kept their wealth in the past.

No wonder this temple that originally belonged to the royal family was suddenly closed.

It should be that the royal family realized that major changes might occur and their family's wealth was threatened, so they hid it secretly here.

It has to be said that Indu is really extremely rich. If the total value of this little-known king of Kerala is really calculated, the total value of his wealth is still higher than that of the king of Hyderabad.

However, this is no longer important to Du Fei, these things are his now.

With a sudden thought, I put the last box of gold into my portable space.

Du Fei couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.

The purpose of his personal visit to Indu this time was these gold treasures.

Although the specific amount is not yet known, Du Fei estimated that the total value of the treasures in the six secret rooms would not be less than two billion US dollars.

Don't underestimate the two billion. In this era, even for the country, two billion US dollars is a huge sum of money.

Moreover, these two billion are not assets, but hard currency, which can be used as reserves in banks to directly issue currency.

With this financial support, Du Fei's next plan to develop the Kingdom of Sarawak will have financial support.

By then, the various assembly and processing plants that remain on the planning map can become a reality.

Through these assembly plants, domestic parts and components are turned into consumer goods. In the south, they can be directly consumed locally in Nanyang, and in the north, they can be exported to Daye through Beigaoli.

In this era, there are not many technical thresholds for household appliances. As long as they have a better appearance design, the same performance looks better, and the price is cheaper, they will naturally sell well.

Du Fei was thinking as he prepared to take back Xiaohong, Xiaohui and those mice.

But at this moment, there was a sudden "click-click" sound of gunfire.

Du Fei's heart trembled, and he immediately opened his vision and synchronized to Xiao Hei in the air.

From a high position, the entire temple appears together with the surrounding scenery.

The gunfire just now came from the southeast.

Because the temple is surrounded by dense jungle, even from a high position, the line of sight cannot completely penetrate the dense canopy.

Therefore, the crows on alert in the sky did not notice anyone nearby.

It wasn't until the gunshot fired that Du Fei realized through vision synchronization that some figures were approaching, and there were quite a few of them!

At this time, the mercenaries who were alerted by the gunshots reacted immediately and began to fire back.

However, at the next moment, Du Fei suddenly discovered that there were figures moving in the other direction!

It was immediately clear that they were attacking in the east and west, using gunshots to attract attention and then attacking from behind.

There was intensive gunfire and the exchange of fire was extremely fierce.

The mercenaries brought by Du Fei are undoubtedly elite, but the enemy has a numerical advantage. Not counting those from behind, there can be hundreds of enemies in the front alone.

Fortunately, these people lacked firepower. They only had two automatic rifles that could fire continuously, and the others were all old-fashioned bolt-action rifles.

On the contrary, Du Fei's mercenaries, all equipped with automatic weapons and individual rocket launchers, quickly took advantage...

Du Fei and Ci Xin came up from below. Wei Chenggong had already gone outside to direct the battle. Song Zhenzhen stayed here. When she saw the two of them, she immediately stepped forward.

Without waiting for her to speak, Du Fei said directly: "We are surrounded from behind."

Although Song Pearl is not old and has little battlefield experience, she was born for the battlefield.

In less than two years, he has grown up and can stand on his own.

Hearing Du Fei's reminder, he immediately responded and shouted: "Lao Zhang, Mike, Haqiz... follow me~"

The three people whose names were called came over immediately, each accompanied by two people, forming a combat team. Together with the leader Song Zhenzhen, they happened to be an infantry squad.

After leaving the temple gate, more intense gunfire soon came.

Du Fei and Ci Xin also left the temple.

In this situation, Ci Xin did not act rashly. Her only mission now was to protect Du Fei's safety.

Du Fei glanced at Song Pearl.

Song Pearl poured out firepower without hesitation, and at the moment Du Fei looked over, two rocket launchers were launched.

There were two loud bangs, and two fireballs exploded dozens of meters away.

Several more grenades followed, instantly strangling the opponent's advance.

In any battle, the real main force is often those who perform roundabout missions, and should not be taken lightly.

At this time, Wei Chenggong came over quickly and gasped: "There are many enemies..."

Du Fei understood what he meant. The mercenary team around him only had more than twenty people and could not afford to fight a war of attrition.

He nodded and said: "According to the original plan, let's go."

Du Fei had no intention of returning along the original route.

When they arrived, there were more than a thousand people, and there was quite a commotion.

It would have been fine if they had settled quietly afterwards, but Eagle led more than a thousand mercenaries on a killing spree.

No matter how slow he is, he should have guessed what's going on.

The Indu people also know that it is not too late to remedy the situation.

It is no longer safe to go back the way we came.

Therefore, Du Fei's initial retreat plan was to get the treasure from the Padmana Temple and then directly cross the southernmost tip of the subcontinent to the east coast.

Then take a boat across the Palk Strait to reach Sri Lanka, which is only a few dozen kilometers away.

The straight-line distance from Padmana Temple to the east coast is about 220 kilometers.

The first stop is Utamapa.

This is a small town with a few thousand people. Eagle had made arrangements here before and had a secret base where two cars were left.

If all goes well, it only takes a day by car to reach the East Coast from Utamapa.

After receiving the order to retreat, Wei Chenggong breathed a sigh of relief.

What he fears most now is that Du Fei's purpose of coming here has not been achieved, and he needs to lead people to defend for a period of time.

The enemy's firepower is not weak. It should be the power left by the princely family of Kerala in the past to protect the Padmana Temple.

These people are completely unlike the papery Indian army. They showed strong combat effectiveness just after the exchange of fire, and they are quite brave and not afraid of death.

Being attacked from two sides again, if the delay is too long, sooner or later all the more than 20 people under him will be exhausted.

Wei Chenggong was not afraid of death, but he was afraid that Du Fei would have his shortcomings.

Mr. Wei moved to Nanyang, and the honor, disgrace, and wealth of their whole family depended on Du Fei. If there was an accident, the consequences would be disastrous.

Now that he was about to leave, Wei Chenggong breathed a sigh of relief and no longer had to worry about ammunition consumption.

After fighting this battle and arriving at Utamapa, you will receive new supplies.

Immediately shouted: "Prepare the rocket launcher for me!"
