Everyone turned around and scanned every corner around them, especially the steep cliff not far ahead. Everyone looked carefully from top to bottom.
However, no one found any trace of the Golden City, nor did they see any traces left by humans, such as Mayan hieroglyphs and patterns, or some kind of architectural ruins and statues.
Even the road built by the ancient Mayans under our feet is hidden below the ground, covered by soil and dense vegetation, and the real thing cannot be seen at all.
Cole and Gray Wolf, who had followed Ye Tianqian to explore here before, were also confused and didn't know where the legendary golden city was.
Seeing that everyone's curiosity was aroused, Ye Tian smiled and said loudly:
"Since I said that the Golden City may be close at hand, of course it is well-founded and I am not just talking nonsense. The secret is hidden on the cliff not far ahead, but what exactly this secret is needs to be explored. .
When I took Cole and the others to explore here before, I discovered that the towering trees in front of the cliff are actually a small maze, and there are many deadly traps in this maze, which can be said to be very dangerous.
From this point of view, the towering trees in front of the cliff were probably planted here deliberately by someone. In all likelihood, the people who planted these towering trees were from the Kingdom of Copan, which disappeared mysteriously in history. royal family.
Of course, due to such a long time, not many of the trees originally planted by the royal family of Copan are still alive today. It took more than a thousand years of replacement and reproduction to form the situation we see now. .
Many of the traps originally laid out by the Copan royal family have failed. Towering trees have even grown inside some of the traps, completely filling the pits. Even so, some of the traps have remained until now.
Because life in this rainforest is constantly changing and multiplying, the labyrinth originally laid out by the Copan royal family has been basically destroyed and has no much use. There is only an empty shelf left, and it is difficult to trap people anymore.
After discovering this, I left Cole and Gray Wolf behind and entered this ancient maze to explore alone. In this maze, I found some ancient traps and dismantled them. .
I also clearly marked the things that cannot be dismantled to prevent everyone from accidentally stepping into those traps; the end of this maze is the cliff in front, and on the cliff, I found clues about the Golden City."
Hearing his words, Cole and Gray Wolf suddenly realized, their eyes filled with admiration.
The rest of the people were extremely excited, their eyes shining brightly.
As soon as Ye Tian finished speaking, Professor Delgado said impatiently:
"Stephen, in this case, let's not stand here anymore. Let's take everyone to the other side of the cliff to have a look. What are the clues you mentioned about the Golden City?"
Not only him, but everyone else had the same idea. Everyone looked at Ye Tian with anticipation.
Ye Tian looked at these guys, then smiled and shook his head and said:
"I can take everyone there to have a look, but not too many people can go there at one time. The road leading to the cliff is not wide and very winding. There are many traps on both sides of the road, so it is better to be careful."
"No problem, Steven, a few of us can go over and take a look first"
Hernando continued, and pointed at the few people here.
Ye Tian pondered for a moment, then nodded and said:
"That's okay. Except for me and Matisse, each of you will send a representative to come with me to see the situation on the other side of the cliff. The others will wait here first"
Having finished speaking, Professor Hernando and Professor Delgado nodded in unison without any disagreement.
In the blink of an eye, the candidates were announced, namely Hernando representing Honduras, Professor Delgado representing Columbia University, and the representative from UNESCO.
Next, Ye Tian gave these guys a few words and asked them to bring some necessary protective equipment, and then led these guys towards the cliff ahead.
Under the leadership of Ye Tian, Professor Delgado and Hernando followed him, with Matisse at the back. The five people lined up and walked forward step by step.
They first walked along the marked road, and when they were about to reach the end, with no way to go, Ye Tian suddenly turned left and bypassed a towering tree.
In a twists and turns, another marked road appeared in front of them.
Compared with the previous road that was perpendicular to the cliff, this path is narrower and winding, extending deep into the rain forest.
While walking past this towering tree, Ye Tian suddenly stretched out the jungle machete in his hand and opened a bush next to the tree.
Following his movements, a mottled stone sculpture suddenly appeared in front of everyone.
This is a statue of Quetzalcoatl with a rather exaggerated shape, about two meters high. It is very close to the big tree and looks like it is leaning on the big tree.
Most of the vines and vegetation that were originally entangled and attached to the statue have been cleared away. There are some sawdust and moss hanging on the statue, which does not look good.
The person who cleaned up this statue was naturally Ye Tian.
Seeing this ancient granite statue, Professor Delgado and the others immediately stopped and admired it.
They even wanted to walk up to the statue to study it carefully, but were stopped by Ye Tian in time.
"Professor Delgado, you'd better stand where you are and admire this ancient statue. Don't try to walk over. In front of this statue, there is a bottomless pit.
When I first discovered this statue, I almost fell for it. In addition to the bottomless pit, there were also two giant poisonous centipedes entrenched on the statue of Quetzalcoatl, and I swatted them both to death. !
The main purpose of our coming here is the clues about the Golden City on the cliff in front, the ancient Quetzalcoatl statue, and other things, which can be studied later."
As he spoke, he used a machete to push aside a bush in front of the statue.
The next moment, a dark hole appeared in front of everyone.
As Ye Tian said, this pit is bottomless and seems to lead directly to hell. It is frightening to look at it.
"Hiss——!"
Professor Delgado and the others all gasped, and everyone was terrified.
After waking up, these guys took a quick look at the Quetzalcoatl Shinto statue that served as bait to lure people into the trap, and then continued to move forward with Ye Tian.
Not far forward, there was no way to go, and another towering tree blocked Ye Tian and the others.
Ye Tian paused here, then pointed to a sunken ground on the right and said to the guys following:
"According to my speculation, there should have been a trap there, but because it was so old, the trap had long since failed, and it later turned into a quagmire.
As time went by, the quagmire also changed, and eventually it was filled with soil and dead leaves, turning into a solid ground, just a little lower than the other surrounding ground."
With that said, Ye Tian stepped out, bypassed the towering tree in front of him, and headed in another direction.
Change the scene as you move.
As soon as everyone turned around, they saw a path full of flowers, which was pleasing to the eye.
At this time, Ye Tian's expression became much more solemn.
"Everyone, follow me closely. There are many highly poisonous plants growing on both sides of this path. It is best not to touch those flowers and plants to avoid accidental poisoning.
In addition to poisonous weeds, there are also many man-catching vines here. When I explored this place before, I cut off many of them. If they are not kept intact, they will appear again. Everyone must be careful! ”
Hearing what Ye Tian said, Hernando, Professor Delgado and others who were following immediately drew out the jungle machetes they carried with them and prepared to fight the man-catching vine.
