BXBX NOVEL Chapter 247
Chapter 247: The Treasure Hidden in the Forest
But the mosquitoes that kept buzzing made Bell very annoyed.
It did not seem to be easy to fall asleep.
Bell began to chat with everyone.
“The Amazon rainforest can be said to be one of the most dangerous wilderness spots in the world.
Over the centuries, many people have tried to explore this mysterious rainforest.
The reason is a legend of a treasure.
The Golden City, El Dorado.
Rumor has it that this city is hidden in this dangerous rainforest.
But so far, no one has discovered it.
According to the analysis of historians, the total value of the treasures in El Dorado should be between 3 to 5 billion USD.
In the 18th century, a large exploration team of 700 people had entered the Amazon rainforest in an attempt to find this treasure.
However, the outcome was not satisfactory.
In the end, nearly half of the 700 people were buried in this rainforest.
......
Sepsis as well as attacks from various wild beasts and toxic insects tortured them.
In the end, they could only leave this forbidden zone and return to Europe.
Even now, there are still many people who want to try their luck here every year. They try to find the treasure, but the result is no exception. All of them return empty-handed, and those with worse luck even lose their lives. ”
The eyes of the audience in the live-stream lit up when they heard Bell say that there was actually a treasure worth five billion USD buried here.
This was a really huge amount. As long as they could find the city, they would not have to worry about money for the rest of their lives.
“5 billion is equivalent to more than 30 billion RMB. We will instantly become one of the richest people in the world.”
“I will hug my potato chips and cola, and fantasize quietly.”
“Bell, do you still lack disciples? I want to learn about exploration too.”
“Previous poster, stop pretending. Do you think I don’t know where you want to explore? You’re greedy for the treasure.”
“I’ll be honest. I’m not pretending. I just want to find the treasure.”
“Hahaha, everyone, just think about it.”
Exploration and sightseeing were fundamentally different.
This was definitely a technical job. Becoming a qualified explorer was not easier than becoming a scientist.
Because most of the time, the research field focused on one subject, while exploration included various miscellaneous fields.
A good explorer had to have knowledge of history, biology, medicine, geography, and archaeology.
Just having a strong physique was definitely not enough.
And with just survival skills, even if they really found something valuable, they probably would not be able to recognize it.
It would only be thrown away like broken tiles.
Moreover, with the development of society, many treasures that had been buried for a long time had been discovered.
As for the treasures that had yet to be excavated, they were either hidden very mysteriously or were just rumors.
For example, Li Mo’s exploration team had already found three treasures, but the returns were indeed far inferior to the investment.
After all, the cost of each exploration was extremely expensive. It could range from hundreds of thousands to millions.
It was very difficult for an exploration team to maintain themselves for a long time.
If they failed two times in a row, this exploration team would be in danger of being disbanded.
Moreover, most of the exploration teams were funded by entrepreneurs or rich people.
They provided funds for the sake of generous returns.
With such a mentality, they usually had to consider the benefits.
It also deviated from the original intention of the exploration.
Bell was not willing to be such an explorer.
On one hand, it was because he did not like that kind of restraint. On the other hand, he knew his ability. He was not at that level yet.
Whether it was attribute points or various skills, there was still a lot of space for growth.
There was still a long way to go. Why be anxious?
Bell chatted with the audience in the live-stream.
Unknowingly, he fell asleep. He even forgot to turn off the live-stream.
Fortunately, Bell slept soundly that night.
He also woke up naturally.
The full sleep was indeed very refreshing.
Moreover, the effect of the rotenone was indeed good.
There was no trace of mosquito bites on him.
It seemed like the mosquitoes stayed far away from him.
He stood up and stretched, shaking his head.
His mind gradually recovered.
He removed the gauze on his body and touched the wound. He realized that the wound had already scabbed over.
The injuries on his shoulders were much better than yesterday.
The rain in the rainforest still had no intention of stopping.
He caught some rain and washed his face, feeling refreshed.
Bell looked back at the camera.
“Everyone, the new day is here. We had a good rest yesterday.
It’s time to set off.”
Carrying his backpack, Bell ignored the rain and plunged into the rainforest again.
Sometimes, rain was not necessarily a bad thing. At least for now, it could bring Bell some fresh water.
At the same time, it could make the environment cooler.
Walking through the rainforest, Bell began to calculate his journey today.
Yesterday, he climbed to the high ground and observed the route. He would have to cross a vast swamp area today.
Moreover, he had to cross the river.
This was a very difficult task.
It was the rainy season in the Amazon rainforest, and the creatures in the river were extremely active.
The danger there was not lower than in the forest.
Most importantly, it was not convenient for Bell to do much in the water.
Without the land advantage, the difficulty was doubled.
“We need to cross the river today.
Thinking of this, I am a little nervous.
There are many dangerous creatures in the Amazon River.
And some are very evil. ”
At this point, Bell smiled evilly.
“For example, vandellia and pacu fish.”
“I’ve already introduced the vandellia to everyone.
I believe everyone should have some understanding of this thing now.
Then let’s talk about pacu fish.
Pacu fish are related to piranha, but their teeth are not as sharp.
Their teeth are more like a human’s.
However, these guys are different from humans. They are not overly aggressive, but can attack humans on their own initiative, focusing on their weak area. ”
The audience in the live-stream had a bad feeling when they heard Bell.
