It was already past four o'clock in the morning when Li Zhao and his party returned to the hotel. After today's incident, everyone knew that this place was not a good place to stay for a long time. Naturally, they had no intention of delaying any longer. They hurriedly packed their luggage and checked out of the room.

All left this place.

Since the injuries of the six people who had been rescued made it difficult for them to continue moving, they had to entrust Zhao Yi to take them directly away from the team and return first. The remaining less than twenty people immediately started the expedition, driving a few pre-rented vehicles.

The arriving car goes straight to its destination.

The distance from Las Vegas to the Grand Canyon is about 118 kilometers. Li Zhao and the others finally reached the area after 2 and a half hours after driving at high speed, but this was only the beginning of the entire adventure.

.

The total length of the Grand Canyon is 446 kilometers, with an average width of 16 kilometers and a maximum depth of 1,740 meters. The aerial glass corridor and the Grand Canyon National Park are must-see places for tourists here, but they are on a mission at this time.

They had no intention of paying attention to these, and instead headed all the way deeper into the canyon. After more than two hours of driving, they finally got off the car, but to be precise, the road ahead was no longer suitable for driving.

From the early morning to now, everyone has not stopped for a moment. Seeing that it is almost noon, everyone seizes the time to have a meal here and take a short rest. After that, they will actually step into the place indicated on the map.

This is a key area. There is still a long way to go from here to the entrance of the treasure place. You might have to spend the night in the wild tonight, so everyone brought all the items they could bring with them. As for the car, they only

I can leave it here temporarily.

The geographical environment of the entire Grand Canyon is particularly complex, and the terrain where they are now is very steep. It can be said that there are cliffs everywhere. In terms of topography, this place is very similar to Dead Man's Valley, but it is much bigger than it.

It is a mysterious and extremely hidden area. Without the guidance of a map, it would be impossible for outsiders to discover such a route to the treasure place.

After setting out on the road again, there must be a reasonable queue according to the order of the team's advance. As the captain, Wu Wenzhen was naturally placed at the front to lead the way. Li Zhao and Min Xiaoyan walked at the end of the team, while Laura joined the rest of the group.

Stayed in the middle of the line.

After carefully walking along the uneven rock wall for a distance, everyone arrived at the mountain stream. Although the terrain here is slightly gentle, it is a rare karst landform and even has an underground river, so it is dangerous.

On the other hand, it is higher. And it is not safe to walk directly from the stream. Under the surging undercurrent, it is likely to be carried to a more dangerous place by the current. The only way to get there is to step on some large rocks raised next to it.

is a better choice.

"We are about to enter the most dangerous area ahead. Everyone should pay extra attention to the situation under their feet. The stepping stones on this road may not be strong, and there may even be some traps. If you don't pay attention, you may be injured.

He stepped on the air and fell into the unknown abyss below." Wu Wenzhen reminded at this time.

With her reminder, everyone became particularly careful when walking. Just in case, everyone connected each other with a long rope. However, something happened midway through the march. Laura

One of the stones she stepped on suddenly cracked. If it weren't for the long rope and everyone's timely pulling, she might have been the first person to have an accident.

Fortunately, overall, there was no danger, and their second half went quite smoothly. When Li Zhao, who was in charge of the rear, also passed through this area, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief, and at least continued to the entrance to the treasure place ahead.

The rest of the journey will be much easier.

But what Li Zhao and his party didn't know was that their whereabouts were eventually exposed. Sorosi had already received the news the moment they left, and sent a team of people to follow them. However, due to a lack of maps and luck,

Due to the relationship, this team encountered many difficulties along the way, and when they reached the stream, they directly lost several good players. However, such losses could not cause much in the eyes of Sorosi, who was used to seeing life and death.

The waves came. However, it was already dark at this time, so the group of people stayed here and did not continue to follow.

The entrance to the treasure cache is located in an inconspicuous small cave, but the internal space is not large. After only walking about thirty steps inside, we reached the end. The only discovery was an unknown depth of water in the cave.

In the small pool, you can still see the occasional fish swimming in it, but the rest of the place looks unremarkable. After everyone repeatedly checked the map and walked around the cave several times, they still found nothing new, and for a moment they unexpectedly found nothing new.

No one can come up with more new clues.

"The entrance on the map only shows this cave, but why no more hints are given! Oh, if this continues, will we all have to spend the night in this cave tonight?" Laura was the first to be impatient.

The one who lost his temper started to complain.

"If we get to that point, we can only make do with it like this. Fortunately, the various materials we brought are enough to last for several days. However, the original owner must have thought that this should be very simple, so he did not give any hints;

Or maybe this is a small test for us. If someone can't even guess this, they are really not qualified to carry out future treasure hunting!" Although Wu Wenzhen was also a little anxious, she seemed much calmer about it.

.

Li Zhao was also puzzled by this and was even prepared for a long-term battle. However, his attention was attracted by Min Xiaoyan at this time. As the one with the lowest sense of presence among the pink beauties around Li Zhao

A woman, she always gives silently but never expresses anything deliberately, and this tranquility makes her even more strangely charming. It is precisely because of understanding this that Li Zhao feels that he owes her a lot.

. And Li Zhao, who knew that she didn't like to be high-profile, would never show this love in front of others, but would compensate for it quietly in private. But the reason why Li Zhao noticed her now was not just because of these,

And it was more related to the fact that Min Xiaoyan had been focusing on the situation in the pool, and it seemed that she had made some new discovery.

"Come here quickly!" Min Xiaoyan naturally noticed the look in Li Zhao's eyes and greeted her with a hint of joy.

"Have you made any new discoveries?" Li Zhao also stepped forward with some anticipation.

Min Xiaoyan nodded at him with a slight smile, and then said: "The fish in this pool should not be the only ones seen on the surface. During the period of my observation, several fish that had not been seen before appeared.

What I saw. In addition, I couldn’t clearly see the underground and deeper environment of the pool, so I thought there might be some clues here.”

"Well, just a moment ago, I also discovered that it is very possible that the bottom of this pool is the real entrance to other places." The more Li Zhao thought about it, the more he felt that this possibility was extremely high, and he immediately called everyone over.

However, most people still accepted this guess, so they quickly had a plan for the next step.

Although no one could predict whether equipment such as diving suits would be used before departure, they still prepared many materials that might be used. After detecting that there was no danger in the water, the water-based equipment from the team was first

The best Wu Wenzhen sneaked in to explore the way, and she returned less than five minutes later, confirming that Min Xiaoyan and Li Zhao's previous guesses were correct.

After further confirming that everyone in the team could get into the water, the next thing was simple. Under the leadership of Wu Wenzhen again, everyone dived in and passed through a short procession of water. When they surfaced again, they had reached a brand new piece of water.

area.

The place where they emerged was in a pond, but the area was more than ten times larger than the previous small pond. This pond was just square, and every high raised wall seemed to be engraved with

There are some strange lines, but no one can understand the meaning. But it doesn’t matter. Li Zhao has already asked Xiaomi to record all these unknown lines. What is even more surprising is that he can see the top of the pool wall.

There are some strange stone statues arranged unevenly, and it seems that the entire area is a huge square built around the pond in the center.

The water surface is still about four or five meters away from the top, and the pool wall is relatively smooth. It is really difficult for ordinary people to get up. But for their small team, which is well prepared and each of them is very skilled, it is not difficult.

, this can be done easily just by relying on the rescue rope you carry with you.

At this moment, the appearance of the entire square was clearly displayed in front of everyone, and it met the next part of the map again. After getting closer, I could finally see the appearance of those stone statues. They looked quite like the ancient humans in the ancient Mayan ruins.

After some observation, I discovered that there are sixteen such stone statues on each side of the square. I don’t know what this arrangement means, but I guess it should coincide with some ancient mysterious formation.

In addition, there is a stone door at the end of each of the four directions. Although it is not yet known how to open them, the next route must be behind one of the doors. If you go in the right direction, everything will be OK, but if

If you make a mistake, the consequences will be unimaginable.

However, after running around all day, they had no intention of continuing to move forward. Besides, the environment was much better than the previous cave, so they decided to rest here tonight.

"Although you can stay here tonight, you can't relax your due vigilance. We take turns to guard and rest. If there are any special circumstances, we must inform everyone as soon as possible. Also, don't touch other things. Understand

Are you ready?" Wu Wenzhen emphasized the precautions and discipline of the team at the end, and she always felt that there was something unusual about those stone statues, and was afraid that they might contain something unclean.

People who felt the same way also included Li Zhao, but they did not come from those stone statues. This was what Xiaomi told him after identification. The uneasiness he felt faintly seemed to come from elsewhere.

For this reason, Li Zhao took the initiative to request a sentry mission in the middle of the night, just to explore every part of the square to eliminate all possible safety hazards. He just walked around for several times and couldn't find anything strange.

, but the corresponding symbols on the stone statues and the stone gate gave him some inspiration, but he didn't have the heart to think about it. He thought about going down to rest after completing the last lap, but his eyelids were spinning at this moment, and then he felt soft.

fell to the ground.
