Walking into the dark cave, with the sunlight shining in, one could see that the cave was filled with messy things. There was a balancing frame standing in the cave, and there was a ring-shaped stone slab at the side of the cave. The stone slab was firmly tied by the balancing frame. ¤
It was obvious that as long as the rope on the frame was untied, the ring-shaped stone slab could seal the cave entrance and prevent others from coming in together.
In fact, the rope on the frame had been corroded for hundreds of years and was already rotten. With just a slight touch from an external force, it would break. However, Ye Xuan did not intend to touch it, because if he did, they would not be able to enter.
With a flip of his right hand, a searchlight appeared in his hand.
With the searchlight in hand, Ye Xuan slowly walked into the cave. The cave was filled with strange cultural relics and statues. Although they had been covered in dust for a long time, they were still very intact.
However, he did not touch the cultural relics and statues. Instead, he continued to walk deeper into the cave. After walking for a few minutes, he finally reached the end of the cave. However, it was already surrounded by a pile of rocks, and on the other side of the wall, there was a small golden man made of pure gold.
Ye Xuan, who had seen the movie, knew that this small golden man was actually a trap used to tempt those who had greed in their hearts. Behind it was a mechanism. As long as someone wanted to go over and take the small golden man, the mechanism would be activated and the stone wall would open. Anyone who approached would fall in. Behind it was a huge balancing board. Under the balancing board was a hole that was tens of meters deep. If an ordinary person fell in, they would definitely die.
Now that Ye Xuan knew the danger, of course, he would not take that path. Instead, he walked to the pile of rocks, and with a shift of his mind, the rocks were instantly moved away, revealing a hole about the height of a person. Then, he walked into it.
Because he was walking the path that the parents of the main character in the movie took, there was only one path that required him to jump over a relatively deep ravine. Without any danger, Ye Xuan walked out of a stone cave with carvings on the wall smoothly. The scenery in front of him changed into a bright golden light.
Even though he had just moved tens of billions of dollars worth of treasures a few days ago, when he saw the scenery in front of him, Ye Xuan could not help but be stunned. Then, he stretched out his fingers and began to count the buildings in front of him that were completely made of gold.
"One, two, three, four. Five, six, seven, eight … "
"There are eight that are around twelve meters tall, three that are eight meters tall, and six that are three meters tall. How many tons of gold are there in total?"
Ye Xuan could not help but gasp when he had counted the Golden Buildings in front of him, although not all of them were made of gold. With the smelting technology of that time, it was impossible to achieve the purity of Thousand Foot Gold and Ten Thousand Foot Gold. However, as long as the gold had a purity of 70%, it would be incredible.
Ten thousand tons? No. In Ye Xuan's opinion, there might be more than 20,000 tons of gold.
What was the concept of 20,000 tons of gold? According to the Federal Reserve released by the United States, the gold reserves of the Federal Reserve were only 8,133 tons, followed by Germany with 3,407 tons. In third place was the IMF with 3,005 tons, in fourth place was Italy with 2,452 tons, and in fifth place was France with 2,435 tons. China, on the other hand, managed to reach 1,658 tons this year, surpassing Russia's 1,251 tons.
In other words, as long as Ye Xuan brought the gold back, the total amount of gold he had alone would be comparable to the total amount of gold reserves of the top six countries in the world. This was no longer the case of being rich enough to rival a country, this was the case of being rich enough to rival the entire world!
He really did not know how those aborigines managed to get their hands on so much gold. In just a few hundred years, they had accumulated so much gold and even built a golden city. Could it be that they had discovered an unimaginably huge gold mine back then? Or did they have special technology that could detect the gold underground?
No matter what, this had nothing to do with Ye Xuan anymore. What he had to do now was to bring all the gold back.
He walked down the golden building that he was standing on and with a thought, a huge wave of mental strength surged out from between his eyebrows like a flood, turning into an invisible net that wrapped up the gold in the building. Then, with a thought, he connected the gold to the storage ring.
"Ah!" As if he was moving a mountain, Ye Xuan let out a loud roar. He felt his mental strength depleting rapidly. In just one breath, he had used up nearly 10 points of mental strength.
"Collect!" Ye Xuan roared again, and the void trembled. The gold seemed to have been attracted by an unknown space-time black hole, and disappeared into thin air in an instant.
"Phew! Phew! " Looking at the disappearing gold in front of him, Ye Xuan couldn't help but pant. "I didn't expect to use up 15 points of mental strength just to move a golden building. Seems like I was too careless this time. After all, the gold is too heavy. Given my mental strength, won't I only be able to move a dozen large golden buildings? Fortunately, there are only eight of these large golden buildings. I hope the remaining mental strength will allow me to collect all the gold. "
"Continue!"
Just as Ye Xuan was working hard to collect the gold in the cave, Ben Franklin Gates and his team arrived at the entrance of the lake at the back of Mount Presidential. Due to the absence of Wilkinson's reminder in the original plot, they had no choice but to look for the real entrance.
One of Ben's companions, Riley, stood at the entrance of the cave that Ye Xuan had deliberately left open, and yelled, "Hey, Ben, come and take a look. What did I find?"
Upon hearing Riley's yell, Ben and his team hurriedly walked over to take a look. They looked at the carvings in the cave with excitement on their faces, but Ben was the only one who frowned.
"Ben, what's wrong with you?" Abby, who had gone through many hardships and obstacles with Ben, asked immediately after seeing his reaction. She had already admired Ben for a long time.
"Didn't you guys figure out why there's a cave here? It's very likely that the group of people who came before us had already found this place. Perhaps the gold inside has already been moved away, "Ben said worriedly. He had always thought that it was a group of people who had moved the treasures from the Trinity Church. After all, it was unimaginable for an ordinary person to move so many treasures in such a short period of time.
"It can't be, right?!" Riley looked at Ben with a pained expression. He still wanted to go in and make a fortune.
"It's very likely. Since they dared to leave behind a note and clues, it proves that they have long known the location of Golden City," Ben's father, Patrick Gates, nodded in agreement.
"Then, then what should we do? We went through so much trouble to find this place, and we're not going to do anything? "Riley asked while looking at Ben in distress.
"Judging from the fact that they dared to leave behind a note, they must have believed that we wouldn't be able to find this place in a short period of time. But we found it, and it only took us three days. Do you remember what the note said? They said that they would wait for us for three days, so I think they might have just entered, "Ben said while looking at everyone.
"Are we just going to wait here and see if they come out?" Ben's mother, Emily Appleton, asked.
"No, we still need to go in and take a look, because we don't know if there are other exits down there. But before we go in, we must first inform the f * ckers. We alone can't deal with those people who stole the treasures. So, father, mother, you two stay here and guide the f * ckers. We'll go in and take a look. "
