Chapter 739 Gems
The Bato River originates from the Karamoran Mountains in the west of Catandoness. Including its tributary, this river covers almost two-thirds of the islands.
This river can be said to be the mother river of Catandunez. There are many small villages and towns along the river, and more than 20,000 people rely on this river to survive. But it is precisely because of this river that the tsunami can flow up the valley and sweep almost all villages and towns along the river.
It is like the area where the fourth hidden place is located was originally the intersection of two rivers, and the two rivers converged here, making this area form a large valley plain area. The small town of Obo, which is no less than that of Balas, is located in this valley plain.
In the mountainous areas surrounded by mountains, villages of this size are thanks to the Bato River. But in this tsunami, the tsunami that flowed upstream along the river channel, after rushing upward for more than 20 kilometers, still completely destroyed this small town surrounded by mountains.
According to the coordinate location, the fourth hidden place is on a hill with an altitude of more than 400 meters on the north bank of the Barto River. Chris first followed Yang Jing's instructions and circled the hill twice before finally landing in a farmland outside the destroyed town of Obo.
The tsunami not only destroyed the towns, but also completely destroyed these farmlands. At the same time, the tsunami also took away all the things that could be swept away from the mountains, leaving a large amount of gravel in the destroyed farmland, and helicopters could also land on this terrain.
After getting off the plane, several people couldn't bear to look in the direction of the town, even if the town was less than 100 meters away from the landing location. What to look at? I felt distressed when I saw it. Judging from the area of the ruins, this small town built on both sides of the Bato River should have a large population, at least more than 2,000 people, but such a town that should have been very beautiful was already devastated at this time.
Moreover, when the helicopter was about to land, there was no one in the ruins. Even the large buffaloes and other large animals that should have been large. Obviously, the tsunami has completely destroyed the town and took away all the lives of everyone living in the town...
"Boss, let's walk over?" Chris asked.
Yang Jing shook his head and said, "You two come with me, Yuna, you are here to accompany Sophia."
"Why? We've all come here, why don't we let me go?" Princess was puzzled.
"You'd better not go over there. There are some situations where you will have nightmares after watching it." Yang Jing sighed. After using the Sky Eye skill, he saw many corpses floating in the river below the mountain. Because the Bato River has turned several bends here, the impact of the tsunami will weaken a lot after passing through the town of Obo. Therefore, some corpses were not rolled back by the tsunami and rushed to the upstream of the river, but some corpses were present in the river here.
Not to mention the princess, even Yang Jing was a little uncomfortable after a glance. I guess anyone who saw the hundreds of corpses soaked in the river would feel extremely uncomfortable.
When floods occur in some parts of southern China, some pigpens can often be seen being destroyed by floods, and some news reports will include photos of drowned pigs. Just a few photos of drowned pigs can make a large number of people feel uncomfortable, let alone seeing hundreds of human corpses with their own eyes.
When the princess heard this, her face turned pale, but she gritted her teeth and said, "I'm not afraid, I want to follow you."
Yang Jing looked at his fiancée, shook his head helplessly and said with a wry smile: "If you see something bad, don't cry."
"Tsk, you're crying." The princess tightened the backpack strap of her backpack that was tightly on her shoulders, "Let's go, hurry up and act."
Yang Jing smiled and stretched out his hand. Princess grabbed the big hand and walked side by side with Yang Jing with a smile.
"Husband, is there any treasure here?" As he walked, the princess asked Yang Jing.
"Well, there are treasures here, but the amount shouldn't be large."
"Really?" Gege became excited, "How did you know there is treasure here?"
"Haha, I guess. Think about it, it took so much effort to find this treasure here. If our ship speed was a little slower that day, or we set out a little later that morning, wouldn't it be just right to catch Shanghai Xiao? So, we passed by Death but were not taken away by Death. And before the tsunami, we also found that villa to avoid the tsunami. Do you think we are very lucky? So, lucky people will always get something, right?"
"Tsk..." Princess rolled her eyes, "I thought you really discovered something."
Yang Jing smiled without saying a word.
In fact, he didn't fool the princess just now. When the helicopter was hovering in the sky, he really saw a faint treasure light coming out on the other side of the mountain. How could a treasure light appear in such deep mountains and old forests? In terms of the range of this treasure light, it is obviously not a precious metal vein. The only possibility is that the treasure buried by the Japanese here was not discovered.
After walking forward about three hundred meters along the river, a group of five people came to the foot of the hill. The Bato River turned a bend of nearly ninety degrees at the foot of the hill, and then extended north again. Similarly, because of the existence of this bend, the river here became very spacious and the water flow was much slower.
In this spacious river channel, hundreds of corpses were floating at this time. Most of these corpses were stranded on the river beach, but some were still soaked in the water.
As people have come here, they will inevitably see these corpses. Coupled with the stench that floats over, the princess just glances at it, turns her head and vomits. Even Valentina's face looks a little bad.
Yang Jing patted his fiancée's back helplessly, and said while patting her: "I said I won't let you come over, you have to come over and suffer this kind of crime."
After retching twice, the princess barely stood up straight and said with a pale face: "Let's leave here quickly, I don't want to stay here at all."
In order to take care of the princess, Yang Jing had to change his route. He originally planned to go around the river to the other side of the hill, but now it seems that he can only climb over this hill.
Fortunately, the mountain is not very high, and the tsunami washed away all the vegetation below the mountainside, so the group took about half an hour to climb over the mountain, and then found some rotten wooden boards exposed on the other side of the hill about 200 meters from the top of the mountain, a slightly flattering place on the other side of the hill, about 200 meters away from the top of the mountain, and found some rotten wooden boards exposed on the ground...
These rotten wooden boards obviously did not rush over from outside, so Chris ran over quickly, pulled them with his hands for a few strokes, and shouted in surprise: "Boss, there are treasures here!"
Hearing Chris' words, Princess put down Yang Jing's arm in surprise, trotted over, squatting beside Chris, and did not dislike the dirty soil. She stretched out her hands and started to pull out the soil like Chris. In just a few strokes, a few crystal clear rubies were exposed.
"Yang Jing, look, I'm digging out the ruby..." Gege shouted excitedly, and Chris on the side also looked excited.
There is nothing more exciting than digging out your own treasure.
Bruce and Valentina were also eager to try. Yang Jing nodded with a smile. The two of them cheered, and they pounced on them and then dug up.
They were so excited. They obviously had engineer shovels on their bodies, but no one used that thing. Maybe they could be more excited by digging out treasures with their hands.
There were two wooden boxes in total, but unfortunately, the wooden boards of these boxes had long been decayed. These two boxes were obviously buried by the Japanese in the past, and the depth should not be very deep. However, if it weren't for that tsunami, even if it weren't for the shallowness, it would be difficult for people to discover it because of vegetation on it.
The tsunami not only destroyed all villages and towns along the river, but also swept away all the vegetation below a certain height on the hillside on both sides of the river. The two boxes were buried so that the place was not high from the river. While sweeping away the vegetation, the tsunami also washed away most of the soil on the ground, which caused the two boxes to be exposed to the ground.
After several people used their hands to pull the soil on it, they exposed treasures mixed with soil. The two boxes were filled with gems, rubies, sapphires, jade, diamonds, emeralds, and Opel...
These various gems of different sizes gathered together, even if they had been buried in the soil for more than 70 years, once they were excavated from the soil, they still emitted a charming light.
"Yang Jing, are we amazing?" Princess stood up with a smile and asked while slapping her hands.
Yang Jing smiled and gave them a big thumbs up, and then said, "You guys are really good, don't dig with your hands. If there is a engineer shovel, you must dig with your hands. Don't your hands hurt?"
Four people, including the princess, shook their heads in unison. Obviously, in front of these precious gems, let alone digging with their hands, even if they were asked to arch with their heads, they probably would be willing.
Most of the box is buried below, and only a small part of it is exposed, so if you want to dig out all the bottom, you have to use an engineer to shovel.
Fortunately, the soil here is very soft. Although the wood in the wooden box is already rotten, it can still ensure that the gems in the box are not exposed.
Chris and Bruce became the main force in excavation. With their strength, in less than twenty minutes, these two wooden boxes, which were about half a meter in length, width and height, were completely exposed, filled with all kinds of gems.
