Chapter 2383
I've heard that some pirates hide treasures on the high seas, but no matter how they hide them, they won't hide them here.
He hesitated for a moment, then said in a low voice, "Logically speaking, it depends on the ownership of this land. If it's privately owned..."
"Whoever owns the land, it belongs to them."
"For example, this mountain belongs to our Seven Stars Group. If anything is found here, it will naturally belong to the Seven Stars Group."
Qiao Liancheng paused for a moment, feeling somewhat disappointed. He had thought that whoever found it would own it!
He muttered something under his breath, and Jiang Wan's eyes darted around as she asked curiously:
"You didn't find gold, did you?"
Qiao Liancheng, with a mysterious air, said, "Let's go inside and see what's going on."
Li Chengze was very clever; seeing this, he immediately understood their meaning and hurriedly said:
"Don't worry, if there really is treasure inside, you are the ones who discovered it and saved my life. I will definitely reward you handsomely."
"At least I can do this much."
Qiao Liancheng gave him a meaningful smile.
Then he turned around and led the way, with Jiang Wan following behind. After they turned around, the first thing they saw was a large gate.
At this moment, the entire space seemed to expand, and the bronze gate in front of us was about 10 meters high.
Besides the main gate, the outer frame is also carved with dragons and phoenixes, and is entirely cast in bronze.
The total length is at least 30 meters, which gives you an idea of how large the space is.
Jiang Wan and the others stood in front of the door, their faces filled with shock as they looked up at the gate.
Qiao Liancheng walked over.
After fiddling with the wall for a while, as if pressing a button, the door slowly opened.
Jiang Wan was surprised and looked at Qiao Liancheng suspiciously, asking, "How do you know how to open this door?"
"You don't mean you've studied tomb raiding, do you?"
Qiao Liancheng smiled, pointed to the wall next to him, and said, "There are instructions on this."
Jiang Wan then noticed an icon on the mechanism.
This icon is a downward arrow, meaning to press here to open the door.
This thing is actually quite scientific!
Jiang Wan rubbed her temples. Okay, she was overthinking it.
The gate opened, and there stood a mountain of skulls.
This is made up of human skulls, arranged quite neatly, layer upon layer, all the way to the top.
At the very top is a pointed peak, and to everyone's surprise, the skull on the mountain's summit is actually golden.
It was golden and exceptionally beautiful.
But those below are normal skulls, some yellowish, some with a faint white jade color.
Jiang Wan pointed to the somewhat translucent skull and said, "Could this really be jade?"
Qiao Liancheng shook his head and said, "It shouldn't be. It's possible that after the skull was processed, something was applied to it, and these things would undergo some changes after being underground for many years."
"This is why they have this result, but it is clear that they are not jade at all, nor do they reach the level of jade."
It's just that some substances have developed a patina.
Jiang Wan nodded to indicate that she understood, but she was still very curious and took a few more glances, wanting to see what exactly the thing on it was.
As she walked past the Skull Mountain, a very beautiful skull, as white as jade, seemed to be smiling at her.
Jiang Wan shook her head and reached out to touch it, but Qiao Liancheng grabbed her wrist and pulled her back.
Jiang Wan looked at him with a confused expression.
Qiao Liancheng said, "Are you out of your mind? Do you know what's up there? What if you get poisoned if you touch it?"
Jiang Wan recalled that in the tomb raiding novels she had read in her previous life, it seemed that nothing in the tomb should be touched.
If you touch it, you might get poisoned.
She quickly pulled her hand back, afraid she might not be able to resist touching him again, and hurriedly grabbed her wrist with her other hand, looking at Qiao Liancheng pitifully:
"You'd better stay closer to me. If I act like a jerk again, just slap my hand away."
Qiao Liancheng smiled helplessly, pulled her hand into his arms, and held her tightly.
Ono stood quietly to the side, seemingly oblivious to everything around him.
But the look in her eyes when she looked at Qiao Liancheng carried a hint of aggression.
She didn't move, seemingly trying to restrain herself.
The group walked around the skull mountain and came to a small passageway, which looked like a specially made bridge with water underneath.
When Jiang Wan looked down, she was shocked to find that what she thought was water was just a pile of bones.
Judging from their appearance, these are probably leg bones or arm bones.
Jiang Wan paused for a moment, then suddenly asked, "Have you noticed that these people deliberately arranged these things, as if they had disassembled the bones of a dead person?"
"These shapes were obviously arranged on purpose. Is this some kind of feng shui formation?"
Li Chengze pursed his lips and said in a low voice, "It shouldn't be a feng shui formation. I have heard some clues about it before."
Jiang Wan looked at him suspiciously. Li Chengze didn't explain. He said, "Let's take another look ahead!"
"I need to go further ahead to be sure that what I see isn't what I guessed."
At this moment, Jiang Wan noticed that Li Chengze's condition was not right. Ever since he entered this place and walked to this passage, Li Chengze had been very heavy-hearted.
It seems like something is weighing on my mind.
And he seemed preoccupied.
He seemed particularly cautious, finding everything fascinating yet also frightening.
Trying hard to back down.
In short, this was completely different from the usual Li Chengze, and Jiang Wan felt there must be a reason for it.
But she couldn't figure out the reason for the time being, so she didn't ask any more questions.
But as he walked, he took a few steps back, nudged Qiao Liancheng, and made a gesture at him.
He gestured for Qiao Liancheng to keep an eye on Li Chengze, and Qiao Liancheng nodded almost imperceptibly, indicating that he would.
Li Chengze paid no attention to the couple's interactions.
He really didn't have the mind to care about any of that right now.
The group continued walking for a while, and finally, the view ahead became much wider.
If that bronze gate is 30 meters high, then the inside might be even higher.
It's about forty or fifty meters high.
Jiang Wan frowned as she looked at the empty space.
Just then, Qiao Liancheng pointed ahead and said, "Look over there."
Jiang Wan looked in the direction he was pointing and saw something in the distance, dark and not very clear.
There's hardly any light here anymore; we're relying entirely on our eyes to find things.
Even with a flashlight in hand, the light was so weak that it was impossible to see what it was.
