Chapter 735 Traces of Treasure

ps. This chapter can be a bit scary, so I recommend reading it during the day.

In the next few days, Luo Quan basically took photos when the weather was good in the morning, and then found a place with fewer people to lie down and bask in the sun in the afternoon.

If it rains, just play cards with everyone in the room.

I come to the beach for vacation, but I don’t actually go to the sea very often.

During this period, I also met fans. After chatting for a while, I discovered that they came to Haizhou Island specifically to look for me.

And they weren't the only ones who came, there were quite a few people.

Luo Quan had already anticipated this situation, but as long as he didn't stay in one place for too long, he would basically not be chased or intercepted.

Rejecting the fans' request for a photo, Luo Quan just signed the autograph.

It rained this morning, so Luo Quan didn't go out and stayed in the room to take a nap.

After breakfast, she came to Wen Xia's room and wanted to organize everyone to play Werewolf together.

But as soon as I came in, I heard a crisp sound.

"What's wrong?" Luo Quan walked in and asked.

At first glance, the ground was covered with broken glass.

"It's a drift bottle I picked up a few days ago. I originally wanted to study it, but I didn't grab it." Wen Xia covered her nose, worried that there was something dirty inside.

However, after the bottle broke, no gas or liquid could be seen. The dark thing inside looked like a scroll, lying on the ground neatly.

Putting on his gloves and mask, Luo Quan carefully stretched out the scroll.

Drawn on the scroll are islands and arrows marked with dotted lines.

Below the scroll, there is a zigzag solid line.

Another rather abstract pattern has five holes, which looks like the five Olympic rings. It’s completely impossible to guess what it means.

"This seems to be a treasure map." When Wen Xia saw the pattern, he immediately thought of Pirates of the Caribbean.

Could this be a treasure trove left by some pirate?

Luo Quan immediately laughed: "What are you thinking about? How dare there be pirates in China? Your ashes will be blown away in minutes!"

"That's true, but this thing looks mysterious. Maybe it really hides something good?" Wen Xia was still very curious about this thing and was eager to go treasure hunting.

Luo Quan was silent for a moment, thinking that he was traveling anyway, so he had nothing to do, so he just went and had a look.

According to the mark on the map, the location where the treasure is buried is not very far away. It is just north of the hotel, called Cave Bay.

Luo Quan remembered that many people went there before, but because there were too many people and the quality of tourists was not good enough, the water quality was soon polluted, and gradually no one went there to play.

However, after such a long time, nature has made the dirty sea water clean again through accumulated purification over time, so many tourists came back.

However, this time the tourism bureau has paid great attention to the environmental protection of scenic spots. It often arranges volunteers at Cave Bay to remind tourists not to litter, and to help clean up the garbage they see on the ground.

With this move and a lot of publicity, Cave Bay is now gradually becoming a popular tourist attraction.

In the afternoon, the rain gradually stopped.

Wen Xia proposed to follow the treasure map to explore, but only Su Yu responded.

Luo Quan thought this was a good subject for a photo shoot, so he took Wang Lan and Li Yuan with him, preparing to take some photos.

To ensure safety. Luo Quan also hired three strong female swimming instructors in the swimming and entertainment department, each holding an electric shock harpoon.

This thing is used to deal with sharks, and it is also very effective against people.

After the preparations were completed, a group of eight people headed to Cave Bay.

Because it had just rained, there were not many tourists in Cave Bay.

There were only two volunteers cleaning up the trash.

"Uncle, how do I get to the cave in Yandong Bay?" 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 nasal accent.

Wen Xia smiled: "I just want to take a look inside and take this photo by the way."

The volunteer uncle stretched out his finger and said, "Go straight in that direction and you'll be there just around the corner.

However, the terrain in Cave Bay is complicated. The Tourism Bureau has set up road signs in shallower areas. Do not go in deeper areas to avoid getting lost. "

"I know, thank you, uncle." Wen Xia was very polite, but she did not tell the volunteers that they were there to hunt for treasure.

Following the directions, the group arrived at the location of the cave.

The most famous thing about Cave Bay is of course this vast cave.

It is said that the space inside is quite wide, and you can encounter several non-connected cave entrances with just one step. Tourists who often go inside to explore the secrets ignore the advice of the tourism bureau and go into the unmarked cave entrances, which is euphemistically called exploring the secrets. , in fact, it is seeking death.

The result was that he got lost inside, and then the government sent a large number of police to rescue him. Finally, he was reported by the media and became a national joke.

Similar things happen several times every year, but there have been no fatalities so far, so it is relatively safe. Many thrill-seeking travelers go to this cave specifically, which has caused a lot of farce.

However, because of the existence of this cave, it has boosted the economy here and is considered a popular attraction, so the Tourism Bureau does not prohibit everyone from exploring it.

"It should be here. It looks like a place where treasures are buried."

Wen Xia stood at the entrance of the cave with her hands on her hips, looking like she was going to have a big fight.

There is a sign at the entrance of the cave that reads: The terrain is complex and there is a risk of getting lost. Please do not enter casually.

But due to the large number of people, everyone walked in directly.

Following the signs made by the tourism bureau, Luo Quan walked in front, and from time to time he sprinkled the special perfume redeemed from the system on the ground.

The scent of this perfume is quite long-lasting and takes a week to fully develop.

With her sense of smell, even if she gets lost, she can definitely follow the scent.

In addition, she also exchanged quite a few emergency supplies for emergencies.

It was precisely because of these things that she agreed to come here to accompany Wen Xia to die.

I stopped and walked along the way and took two or three photos. Looking at the strange-shaped stone pillars in the cave and feeling the uncanny workmanship of nature was actually quite interesting.

However, as we walked, the atmosphere became a little strange.

"Luobao, do you feel that the air suddenly became a little cold?" Wen Xia rubbed her arms.

Su Yu next to him felt the same way.

"Have you never been to an air raid shelter?" Luo Quan was speechless, "This kind of terrain is very cool. Otherwise, why would my family like to take us there to enjoy the cool weather in the summer?"

"It seems so." Wen Xia scratched his head, "But this environment feels very atmospheric, just like Tomb Raiders Notes. Don't wait until a monster comes out or something."

Su Yu smiled: "You are not afraid of monsters. Can you beat our boss?"

"You don't want the bonus, right?" Luo Quan glared and took out a lighter from his backpack.

"People light candles and ghosts blow out lamps. I don't have a candle, so I will use this instead." He lit the fire.

However, within a few seconds of burning, it was blown out by the wind.

"The atmosphere is quite good now. It seems there is something that we don't want us to explore anymore." Luo Quan laughed.

But she was just joking, and the current atmosphere was far from as weird as a tomb-robbing novel.

Besides, there are no secrets of tombs or anything in the old stories around here, so everyone is not too worried and continues to move forward happily.

When the signs arranged by the tourism bureau disappeared, everyone stopped and began to leave marks in conspicuous places.

It is worth mentioning that they were not the only ones to leave marks on the rock wall, there were dozens of large and small marks.

In addition to some meaningless patterns, there are also many strange words, such as:

"I don't want to die."

"let me out."

"Don't go there, there's..."

"Don't look back, or you will see..."

The fonts are crooked and twisted, and they are still speaking half a sentence, which looks very weird.

When Luo Quan saw this pretender, he just sneered and wrote on it with a marker: "Down with all the ghosts and monsters!"

The atmosphere suddenly changed.

"If this was run well, it could be used as a haunted house and charge fees. It's a pity that I met you." After Luo Quan finished painting, he nodded proudly.

But just because she doesn't do this doesn't mean other girls are as bold.

In the already deep and dark cave, the gusty wind and these strange patterns and characters made them feel like a chill was coming.

However, with Luo Quan making such a fuss, it was somewhat relieved.

After a slight pause, everyone bravely continued to move forward.

On the next road, there are no signboards arranged by the tourism bureau.

Each of the five holes in front of you has signs saying "Do Not Enter."

As before, Luo Quan still dropped a little perfume on the ground every time he walked.

It is difficult to judge the direction of the wind. Sometimes it is from the outside in, and sometimes it is from inside again, which means that the entrance of the cave is basically clear, and the space is not as big as imagined.

After walking through four or five cave entrances, the searchlight suddenly flashed, 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 female swimming coach in charge of security was also in a hurry and quickly put a spare battery in her backpack.

But just when 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 voice suddenly made everyone's hair stand on end.

"Who, who is there!" Wen Xia yelled immediately.

But there was no answer, and the tapping disappeared.

But within a few seconds, a sharp sound came, as if something was screaming.

"Light...Light is not okay yet!"

Su Yu was already covered in cold sweat and eagerly urged the bodyguard.

Under the illumination of the mobile phone's flashlight, the bodyguard trembled and finally replaced the battery.

Light once again illuminates the way forward.

But a sudden strange cry like a monkey made the girls, who were already in a state of extreme nervousness, completely unable to hold back and started screaming.

With this call, the two female bodyguards were immediately called away.

Only the one holding the flashlight could bear it, but he was shaking like a pendulum.

Of all the people, only Luo Quan remained absolutely calm.

The system has said that there is no cultivation environment in this world, which means there is no supernatural power.

Therefore, whether they are gods or ghosts, they will only exist in books and film and television works.

Since it is not a ghost or god, it is easy to figure out who created this weird situation.

Although they don't know who is scaring them, there must be something important in the cave that makes this person stop them from moving forward even if they are pretending to be a ghost.

Maybe there really is some treasure in here!

"Luo... Luo Bao, why don't we go back? I feel like I haven't found anything after wandering for so long." Wen Xia, who was fearless, relaxed now.

"No, there might be something really good in this." Luo Quan became interested and wanted to go deeper and find out.

Mainly, she is also a talented and courageous person, and feels that she can handle it easily no matter what situation she encounters.

"Don't worry, I'm here. I'm the most powerful female tyrannosaurus on earth. Just hide behind me no matter what happens." Luo Quan comforted the girls.

After hearing the real eldest sister speak, everyone felt a little relieved.

Just like Luo Quan said, her combat power can indeed cope with most emergencies.

Shining their flashlights forward, the girls moved on.

However, after walking for more than ten minutes, I found that the cave in front of me seemed to be endless. I kept drilling and drilling, but the surrounding environment didn't seem to be much different.

"It feels like we are spinning in circles." Wen Xiaqiang said with a smile.

"Just spinning in circles." Luo Quan moved his nose and smelled the perfume in the air, which was the same smell as the one he had just passed by.

Su Yu was anxious: "Ah, did you encounter a ghost and hit the wall? What should we do next?"

"Let's go back to the cave entrance first." Luo Quan frowned, feeling that he seemed to have overlooked something.

Following the smell of perfume, Luo Quan took everyone back to the entrance of this complex terrain.

Looking at the terrain at the entrance and the caves, she suddenly had an idea: "Show me that treasure map quickly!"

"Here." Wen Xia quickly handed it over.

Luo Quan took it and looked down at the treasure map, then looked up at the cave.

After comparison, she found that the topography of the entrance plus the five holes represented the meaning of the unknown pattern on the treasure map.

Since the pattern represents the entrance, does this meandering line represent the path through the hole?

Luo Quan looked at the curves on the treasure map carefully and found that they were quite similar to the route map of a tree maze.

With this analysis, everything makes sense.

"Sisters, we seem to be about to find the treasure!" Luo Quan expressed excitement, and then led everyone into the depths of the cave again.
