Chapter 348: Bai Ying's Little Fist

"Mr. Richard, with so much gold, how do you plan to transport it out?"

Richard was in the midst of excitement when suddenly a faint voice sounded.

Richard was startled and jerked his head back.

A beam of flashlight light shone over, hitting his face.

Richard raised his hand to block the intense light.

Then he lunged forward.

Just now he was too excited, lost his rationality, and threw away his gun.

He thought no one would find this place again.

Before Richard's hand could touch the gun on the ground, a leather boot stepped on it.

Richard lifted his head and saw a dark gun muzzle pointed at him.

The one holding the gun was Lin Feng.

Richard's heart tightened, and he hurriedly said, "Don't kill me! Only I can take you out of here."

Bang~

The gunshot rang out.

The bullet pierced Richard's skull.

For Lin Feng, Richard had to die.

Taking this guy away, Bai Ying wondered what to do with this treasure?

Lin Feng didn't want to put Bai Ying in a difficult position.

From Bai Ying's perspective, once she knew about this batch of gold, she would definitely report it to her superiors.

So, this treasure can only be known by ourselves.

Moreover, Lin Feng was extremely disgusted by Richard's killing of the native's son.

From appearance, it could be seen that this native child was his own biological son.

As the saying goes, even a tiger won't eat its cubs, but this guy is so evil he killed his own son.

He's not even human!

After killing Richard, Lin Feng adjusted the flashlight to a wide beam and swept it across the vast space.

Among the gold piled like a mountain, some surfaces had not yet rusted, reflecting a golden glow.

Seeing so much gold, Lin Feng was deeply shaken.

Ouyang Moli had said that of the gold mined by the Inca Empire over several centuries, at least tens of thousands of tons remain undiscovered.

Isn't this it?

This year, that is 2013, gold prices plummeted.

At $30 million per ton, ten thousand tons of gold are worth $300 billion.

But the gold here seems……more than ten thousand tons!

After a long while, Lin Feng finally calmed down.

He didn't bother with Richard's and the others' corpses, directly leaving the cave and moving the stone blocking the cave entrance back to its original place.

Then he found a rock and sat down.

Half an hour later, Bai Ying appeared.

"What about Richard?"

Bai Ying came up to Lin Feng, glanced around, and asked.

Lin Feng wore a helpless expression and said, "He ran off with the tribal chief."

Bai Ying set down her backpack, took a breath, and said, "Let it go that he ran; we need to leave this place immediately."

Lin Feng nodded.

Next, he took out a satellite communication device from Bai Ying's backpack.

He sent an encrypted message to Yang Yi.

Moments later, he received the location coordinates sent by Yang Yi.

These are the detailed coordinates of the treasure in the Amazon Rainforest.

After Lin Feng noted them, he deleted the message.

The two returned to the valley where the natives had previously gathered.

The natives, whether old or young, all fled without a trace.

Perhaps before long, they will return here.

For Lin Feng, this is nothing.

These descendants of the Inca Empire perhaps long knew that gold was a disaster for them.

Even if someone still knows where the gold is, they would not tell outsiders.

Otherwise, Richard would not have spent several years mixing among these natives to gain their acceptance.

The two reached the riverbank and discovered a steamship.

The natives couldn't operate a ship, so during their escape they didn't take the ship.

Lin Feng and Bai Ying boarded the ship and steered the steamship downstream.

Riding on the ship is far more comfortable than trekking through the forest.

However, this ship cannot go very far.

The Amazon Rainforest's water network is densely spread, like a maze.

Traveling by boat for a stretch can save several days of trekking through the jungle.

You say, Richard spends so much effort to mix into the natives, really just for research?

Bai Ying furrowed her brows and said.

Lin Feng smiled and said, "I think this guy is after the gold."

"Huh?"

Bai Ying looked curious.

Lin Feng said, "Did you see the gold crown on that old native's head? Richard must have discovered that this ornament is unusual."

Bai Ying exclaimed, "You mean Inca Empire gold?"

Lin Feng nodded.

Bai Ying didn't say anything else.

Inca Empire gold, that's just a legend.

Lin Feng glanced at Bai Ying and asked, "If we found the legendary Inca gold, what should we do?"

Bai Ying thought for a moment: "What difference does it make if we discover it? How much could we carry out? The two of us lugging over a hundred catties of gold back?"

"With your wealth, you wouldn't even look at a few hundred catties of gold, right?"

Lin Feng said, "According to legend, the gold the Inca Empire possessed, mined over several centuries, amounts to tens of thousands of tons. Although a lot has been looted, at least over ten thousand tons remain!"

"Let's assume we found this batch of gold; how would we transport it out?"

Bai Ying said, "Unless we hire a troop and use helicopters for transport. But such a commotion would easily be noticed by the locals; then no matter how much gold, it would belong to them, and we'd end up with nothing."

"If we transport only a small amount, with such a distance and harsh environment… you think, would it be worth it?"

"The only way is to trade this batch of gold with the locals, for example by giving them a certain proportion. If the quantity is small, dozens or hundreds of tons can be handled this way."

"If it's thousands of tons, up to over ten thousand tons, such a huge fortune would attract Americans…"

What Bai Ying said makes a lot of sense.

So, is there no way to take this batch of gold away?

Of course not.

Bai Ying's thinking is limited.

She thinks about problems too rationally.

In Lin Feng's view, it's as simple as can be.

The best solution is to use money to solve it.

Spend money to buy that piece of jungle under the pretense of logging or harvesting certain medicinal herbs.

The Amazon Rainforest is decreasing every year, entirely due to logging.

If they really wanted to protect this jungle, they wouldn't be doing this.

In short, this is a feasible plan.

But Lin Feng currently lacks no money.

This batch of gold doesn't need to be rushed to extract.

We'll decide later based on the situation!

The two first took a boat, then abandoned it and trekked on foot through the forest.

April 25.

After walking for over ten days straight, Bai Ying could no longer endure.

Because her boots were worn through, she injured her foot.

The two stopped.

Lin Feng took off Bai Ying's torn boots from her feet.

It was done by cutting with a knife against the sole, together with the rotting skin tissue.

After washing with pure water, anti-inflammatory powder was sprinkled on, then it was wrapped with gauze.

Bai Ying could no longer walk, but the rendezvous point was still about three days' journey away.

All of this had been planned beforehand.

Even if they stopped, Bai Ying's foot would need over a month to heal.

Lin Feng could only carry Bai Ying as they went.

Is your foot okay?

Bai Ying, being carried forward by Lin Feng, asked.

Lin Feng smiled and said, 'Top-notch gear, the soles are made of titanium alloy; not to mention a month, even several years of wear would be fine.'

You know to bring that for me, but you didn't think to bring an extra pair of boots.

Bai Ying lightly punched Lin Feng.

Lin Feng chuckled and said, 'It's almost the end of the month; if we still can't get out next month, when your period comes, I'll have no way.'

Bai Ying's face turned red again.

Over ten days of traveling together, who knows how many dangers they've faced.

In front of the joking Lin Feng, Bai Ying behaved more and more like a woman.
