Chapter 725: Traces of Treasure
PS: This chapter will be a bit scary, it is recommended to read it during the day.
Main text:
For the next few days, Miss Luo Quan basically took portraits when the weather was good in the morning, and lay down to sunbathe in a place with fewer people in the afternoon.
If it rained, she played cards and opened black with everyone in the room.
Coming to the seaside for vacation, but the number of times she actually went into the sea was not many.
During the period, she also met fans, and after chatting for a few sentences, she found that they were specially looking for her in Haizhou Island.
And there were not only them, but quite a few people.
For this situation, Miss Luo Quan had expected it, but as long as she didn't stay in one place for too long, she basically wouldn't be surrounded and intercepted.
Refusing the fans' request to take photos, Miss Luo Quan just signed her name.
It rained this morning, Miss Luo Quan didn't go out and stayed in the room to sleep in.
After breakfast, she came to Seeing Wen Xia's room to organize everyone to play Werewolf together.
But as soon as she came in, she heard a crisp sound of bang.
"What's wrong." Miss Luo Quan walked in and asked.
At a glance, the ground was full of glass fragments.
"It's the drift bottle I picked up a few days ago. I originally wanted to study it, but I didn't hold it." Seeing Wen Xia covered her nose, worried that there was something dirty inside.
However, after the bottle broke, she couldn't see gas or liquid; the pitch-black thing inside looked like a scroll, lying safely on the ground.
Calling for gloves and masks to wear, Miss Luo Quan carefully stretched out this scroll.
What was drawn on the scroll were islands, and arrows marked with dashed lines.
Under the scroll, there was also a tortuous and winding solid line.
Another quite abstract pattern, with five holes, looked like the Olympic rings, completely unable to guess what it meant.
"This looks like a treasure map." Seeing Wen Xia saw this pattern and immediately associated it with Pirates of the Caribbean.
Could this be a treasure location left by some pirate?
Miss Luo Quan immediately laughed: "What are you thinking? Does anyone dare to have pirates in Huaxia? Your ashes will be scattered in minutes!"
"That's true, but this thing looks mysterious; maybe it really hides something good?" Seeing Wen Xia was still very curious about this thing and had some ideas of wanting to go treasure hunting.
Miss Luo Quan was silent for a while, thinking that anyway, she was out traveling, and since she was idle, she would go and see.
According to the map's identification, the location where this treasure was buried was not very far, just north of the hotel, called Rock Cave Bay.
Miss Luo Quan remembered that many people went there before, but because there were too many people and the quality of tourists was not good, the water quality was polluted not long after, and slowly no one went there to play.
However, after such a long time, nature, through the accumulation of purification, allowed the turbid sea water to return to cleanliness, so many tourists came back.
However, this time the Tourism Bureau paid great attention to the environmental protection of the scenic spot, often arranging volunteers in Rock Cave Bay to be responsible for reminding tourists not to litter, and at the same time helping to clean up the garbage on the ground.
With this measure, plus a lot of publicity, Rock Cave Bay now gradually has a trend of becoming a popular tourist attraction again.
In the afternoon, the rain gradually stopped.
Only Su Yu responded to Seeing Wen Xia's proposal to follow the treasure map for adventure.
Miss Luo Quan felt that this was a good subject for taking portraits, so she brought Wang Lan and Li Yuan along, ready to take a few photos at that time.
To ensure safety. Miss Luo Quan also hired three strong female swimming coaches in the Swimming Entertainment Department, each holding an electric fish fork.
This thing is used to deal with sharks, and the effect on people is also very outstanding.
After the preparations were made, a group of eight people went to Rock Cave Bay in a mighty way.
Because it just rained, there were not many tourists in Rock Cave Bay.
Only two volunteers were cleaning up the garbage.
"Uncle, how do we get to the rock cave in Rock Cave Bay?" Seeing Wen Xia walked up and asked one of the middle-aged volunteers.
"What are you doing there?" The volunteer uncle said in Mandarin with a very strong nasal sound.
Seeing Wen Xia smiled: "Just want to go inside and see, and take photos by the way."
The volunteer uncle pointed his finger: "Keep walking in that direction, turn a corner and you'll be there.
However, the terrain in Rock Cave Bay is complex. The Tourism Bureau has set up road signs in shallower places. Don't go into deeper places, so as not to get lost."
"Understood, thank you, uncle." Seeing Wen Xia was very polite, but she didn't tell the volunteer that they were going inside to hunt for treasure.
According to the directions, the group arrived at the location of the rock cave.
Rock Cave Bay, the most famous is of course this vast rock cave.
It is said that the space inside is quite wide, and you can encounter several unconnected cave entrances in one step. Often, tourists who go inside to explore don't listen to the Tourism Bureau's advice and specifically enter cave entrances without signs, calling it exploration, but actually seeking death.
The result is getting lost inside, and then letting the government send a large number of police forces to rescue them, and finally being reported by the media, becoming a joke in the whole country.
Similar things happen several times every year, but there have been no deaths so far, so it is still relatively safe. Many backpackers who like to seek excitement specifically go into this rock cave, so many farces have been made.
However, because of the existence of this rock cave, it has driven a lot of economy here, and it can be considered a popular scenic spot, so the Tourism Bureau does not prohibit everyone from exploring.
"It should be here; it looks like a place where treasure is buried."
Seeing Wen Xia stood at the entrance of the rock cave with her hands on her hips, looking like she was going to do a big job.
The entrance of the rock cave has a sign that says: The terrain is complex, there is a risk of getting lost, please do not enter casually.
But relying on the large number of people, everyone still walked in directly.
Along the signs made by the Tourism Bureau, Miss Luo Quan walked in the front, occasionally sprinkling the special perfume exchanged from the system on the ground.
The smell of this perfume is quite lasting and takes a week to fully exert.
With her sense of smell, even if she gets lost, she can completely walk out along the fragrance.
Besides that, she also exchanged a lot of emergency supplies for unexpected needs.
It was precisely because of these things that she agreed to the request to accompany Seeing Wen Xia to seek death here.
Walking and stopping all the way, taking two or three photos by the way, looking at the strange stone pillars in the rock cave, and feeling the ghostly workmanship of nature, it is actually quite interesting.
However, as they walked, the atmosphere became a bit wrong.
"Luo Bao, do you feel that the air suddenly became a bit cold." Seeing Wen Xia hugged her arms and rubbed them.
Su Yu next to her felt the same way.
"Haven't you been to an air-raid shelter?" Miss Luo Quan was a bit speechless, "This kind of terrain is very cool; otherwise, why do family members like to take us there to cool off in summer?"
"Seems like it." Seeing Wen Xia scratched her head, "But it feels like this environment is very atmospheric, like Grave Robber's Chronicles; don't let a monster run out later."
Su Yu smiled: "If there is really a monster, are you afraid? Can you beat our boss?"
"Don't want the bonus, right?" Miss Luo Quan glared and took out a lighter from her backpack.
"People light candles, ghosts blow out lights; I don't have candles, so I'll use this instead." She said and lit the fire.
However, it was blown out by the wind before it burned for a few seconds.
"This atmosphere is finally enough; it seems that something doesn't want us to continue exploring." Miss Luo Quan laughed.
However, she was completely joking; the atmosphere now was far from as weird as tomb-robbing novels.
Besides, in the old stories nearby, there were no tomb secrets or anything, so everyone was not too worried and continued to walk forward happily.
Walking until the signs laid out by the Tourism Bureau disappeared, everyone stopped and began to leave marks in conspicuous positions.
It is worth mentioning that they were not the only ones who left marks on the rock wall; there were dozens of marks of all sizes.
In addition to some meaningless patterns, there were many weird words, such as:
"I don't want to die."
"Let me out."
"Don't go, there is..."
"Don't look back, otherwise you will see..."
The font was twisted, and they all spoke half sentences, looking very weird.
Miss Luo Quan saw this god-playing and ghost-playing, just sneered, and wrote on it with a marker: "Down with all ghosts and monsters!"
The atmosphere was suddenly different.
"If this is managed well, it can be used as a haunted house to charge fees, but unfortunately it met me." After Miss Luo Quan finished drawing, she nodded quite proudly.
However, just because she didn't eat this set doesn't mean other girls were as brave.
Originally deep in the dark cave, the cold wind was blowing, plus these weird patterns and texts, it made them feel a chill coming.
However, with Miss Luo Quan's trouble, it still eased a bit.
After a slight pause, everyone still summoned the courage to continue forward.
For the next road, there were no signs laid out by the Tourism Bureau.
The five cave entrances in front, each hung with the words "Do not enter".
Like before, Miss Luo Quan still dripped a little perfume on the ground every time she walked a distance.
The wind direction was not easy to judge, sometimes from outside to inside, sometimes from inside to outside, indicating that the cave entrance was basically connected, and the space was not as large as imagined.
Walking through four or five cave entrances in a row, the exploration flashlight suddenly flickered, and the bright road ahead suddenly became uncertain.
"What... what's going on!" Su Yu immediately became nervous.
"The flashlight is out of power." The swimming female coach responsible for security was also in a hurry, hurriedly looking for spare batteries in her backpack.
However, just as the girls fell into darkness, a banging sound suddenly came from the depths of the cave, like a human palm hitting the rock wall.
This sound made everyone's hair stand on end.
"Who, who is there!" Seeing Wen Xia immediately roared.
But no one answered, and the knocking sound disappeared.
But after a few seconds, a sharp sound came over, as if something was screaming.
"Light... light is not ready yet!"
Su Yu was already covered in cold sweat, urging the bodyguard urgently.
Under the illumination of the mobile phone flashlight, the bodyguard also trembled and finally changed the battery.
The light illuminated the road ahead again.
But a sudden monkey-like strange cry made the girls, whose spirits were already in extreme tension, completely unable to hold on, and they screamed along.
This scream directly scared away two female bodyguards.
Only the one holding the flashlight could hold on, but she was also shaking constantly like a pendulum.
Among everyone, only Miss Luo Quan remained absolutely calm.
The system said that there is no cultivation environment in this world, which means there is no supernatural power.
So whether it is gods or ghosts, they only exist in books and film and television works.
Since it is not a ghost or god, then who made this weird situation is self-evident.
Although I don't know which person is scaring them, there must be something important in the cave, so that this person would not hesitate to play god and ghost to stop them from moving forward.
Maybe, there is really some treasure inside!
"Luo... Luo Bao, why don't we go back? I feel like we haven't found anything after walking for so long." Seeing Wen Xia, who was not afraid of heaven or earth, was also loose now.
"Don't, there might really be something good inside." Miss Luo Quan was interested and wanted to go deep to find out.
Mainly because she was brave, feeling that she could easily deal with any situation.
"Don't worry, I'm here. I'm the mother tyrannosaurus with the first combat power on Earth. Just hide behind me if you encounter any situation." Miss Luo Quan comforted the girls.
Hearing the real big sister speak, everyone felt a little relieved.
Just as Miss Luo Quan said, her combat power could indeed deal with most emergencies.
Shining the flashlight forward, the girls continued to move forward.
However, after walking for more than ten minutes, they found that the cave in front seemed endless, always drilling and drilling, but the surrounding environment didn't seem to be much different.
"I feel like we are spinning in place." Seeing Wen Xia said with a forced smile.
"It is spinning in place." Miss Luo Quan moved her nose and smelled the perfume on the air, which was the same smell as the one dripped just now.
Su Yu was anxious: "Ah, did we encounter a ghost hitting a wall? What should we do next?"
"Let's go back to the entrance along the original road first." Miss Luo Quan frowned, feeling that she seemed to have ignored something.
Along the smell of perfume, Miss Luo Quan took everyone back to the entrance of this complex terrain.
Looking at the terrain at the entrance and the few cave entrances, she suddenly had a flash of inspiration: "Quick, show me that treasure map!"
"Give." Seeing Wen Xia hurriedly handed it over.
Miss Luo Quan got it, looked down at the treasure map for a while, and looked up at the cave for a while.
After comparison, she found that the terrain at the entrance plus the five cave entrances was the meaning represented by that unknown pattern on the treasure map.
Since the pattern represents the entrance, does this winding line represent the path through the cave entrance?
Miss Luo Quan carefully observed the curve on the treasure map again and found that it was quite similar to the route map of a tree-like maze.
With this analysis, everything makes sense.
"Sisters, we seem to be about to find the treasure!" Miss Luo Quan showed an excited expression, and then took everyone into the depths of the rock cave again. ===== CHAPTER 726 =====
