Chapter 498 The Priceless Gloomy Wood

Chapter 497 The Priceless Gloomy Wood

Although these poisonous insects and ferocious beasts thrown into the jungle will not scout the enemy for him, they still have the function of warning.

Those people carried small wooden signs with them into the jungle, Feng Tiance's poisonous insects and ferocious beasts generally would not take the initiative to attack them, and would avoid them after recognizing simple commands.

With so many animals avoiding a few people regularly, a certain "little red dot" restlessness will appear on the three-dimensional map in his mind.This is the signal, the signal to remind Feng Tiance to pay attention.

"Then just wait and see my luck this time."

Feng Tiance didn't feel that he was omnipotent, he made all the preparations, and simply found a hidden place to rest on the edge of the giant wooden cemetery.

Whether this matter is successful or not, three points depend on judgment, and seven points depend on luck.

Anyway, he was tired, so he could go into the space and sleep for a few hours, and if he came out again, the outside time would not pass for a few minutes.

That night, he kept checking the map in his mind.Most of the time, his eyes were focused on the giant wooden cemetery.However, according to his observation, there seemed to be no movement.

It wasn't until after five o'clock in the morning, when the sky began to light up, that he noticed something strange.He lifted his spirits and said in his heart: Here we come!
At this time, five men in black were walking with difficulty along a path leading to the giant wood cemetery from a geological fracture.

Not long after they entered the jungle, they experienced the horror of the southwest mountains.In just a short distance, they saw a boa constrictor, countless poisonous snakes, and even a few huge beehives on several big trees.

"This is simply a paradise for animals. Even the primeval forests don't have so many poisonous insects and beasts these days, okay? But fortunately, the small wooden sign on the body is very useful. Not only did these poisonous snakes not take the initiative to attack, but they all avoided them one after another. us."

Even for jungle experts, it is difficult to see this grand scene of poisonous snakes and bees.The five people walked all the way, their scalps were numb.To be honest, if they didn't have the small wooden plaque provided by Mu En, they might be dead already.

"Don't worry about these, anyway, they won't take the initiative to attack us. Speed ​​up, everyone, this place is not far from the destination."

The man in black who led the team had a good mentality, and he was holding a map while walking to correct the route.

"Boss, what the hell is it? To be honest, I really don't want to come to the damn Southwest Mountain Range. Didn't you listen to the locals? This jungle is extremely dangerous, and if you don't pay attention, you will be doomed."

Several people chatted in low voices, not trying to argue, but purely for courage.

"You will know the place when you arrive, don't ask now. Besides, our task is to find the exact location, and many people will come later."

The leading man in black obviously didn't want to say more. In his opinion, the wooden sign on his body was still very useful. At least the current situation would not pose a threat to their lives.

The five people were cautious along the way, but they didn't know that Feng Tiance had already noticed the commotion caused by poisonous snakes as they walked all the way.

In the morning, the sun has just risen, and the fog in the jungle has not yet dispersed.Five men in black have walked into the giant wooden cemetery.

The man in black who led the team took out the map again and began to search carefully.A few of them stopped and went, and came to the edge of a canyon.

"It's here, you guys, try to dig in the canyon, and after confirming the clues, we will call the follow-up people over."

These five people have no interest in the tall trees lying in disorder in the giant wooden cemetery.Instead, they came to this canyon with nothing.

Well, it cannot be said that there is nothing, there are still weeds and shrubs.There are also large and small gravel.

The five men in black dispersed, took out the engineer shovel they carried with them, and started digging in the canyon.These people had obviously received specific orders before they set off, and the digging by the five people was very methodical, rather than randomly digging.

At this time, Feng Tiance was hiding behind a rock not far away and watching them.

These people first dug a small pit nearly one person high, and then developed horizontally like digging trenches. Five trenches that only allowed one person to pass slowly extended in the canyon.

Without the help of large machinery, the work efficiency of these people is not high.Feng Tiance hid in place and observed silently, drinking a little water occasionally, and he was not in a hurry.

Unknowingly, it was past noon, and suddenly one of the five people shouted: "I found something, all of you come and help me."

When the other four heard the sound, they immediately left the trench they dug, grabbed their engineering shovels and ran over.

The five people expanded the work area together, and soon, a section of black wood buried in the soil revealed a corner.Hit it with an engineering shovel, and it actually makes a sound like gold and stone, which shows that the density of this thing is very high.

Feng Tiance was a little far away, so he couldn't take a closer look at what they found.But now, he is [-]% sure that these people are not looking for the "ripe aloe" buried in the ground, but the gloomy wood.

So what is gloomy wood?The so-called gloomy wood is that in ancient times, due to natural disasters such as earthquakes, mudslides, and mountain torrents, the trees were buried deep in the mud.It is formed after thousands of years or even tens of thousands of years of carbonization in an oxygen-free, high-pressure environment.

Strictly speaking, gloomy wood has already broken away from the category of trees, and should be called "treasures".Its density is very high, and the texture of the core material without the carbonized surface layer is clear and beautiful, and its surface is as bright as a mirror after a little polishing.

In ancient times, gloomy wood was often used by the royal family for the construction of palace columns, various furniture and coffins. It is an extremely precious material.

A well-made table made of top-grade gloomy wood can command a high price of [-] million Huaxia coins, and a chair of ordinary quality can be sold for tens of millions of dollars.

The gloomy wood has just reached the sun, and many rich people like to collect this kind of "treasure" for town houses.

According to the different trees before its formation, the gloomy wood can be divided into golden nanmu gloomy wood, yew gloomy wood, iron wood gloomy wood, etc.

"However, the formation of gloomy wood generally takes more than several thousand years, and it is often buried deep in the ground. These guys didn't dig very deep, how did they find it?"

Feng Tiance was a little puzzled at first, but after taking a closer look at this terrain, he had an idea in his heart.Perhaps this area was originally an ancient river channel, but due to changes in the geological structure, countless towering trees were buried in the mud at the bottom of the river.

After tens of thousands of years, this area has been scoured into a river again.As the river dries up, the ancient riverbed that has been buried for tens of thousands of years is gradually exposed to the surface.

Therefore, someone will discover this secret.Otherwise, it will be difficult for the gloomy wood in the deep mountains and old forests to see the light of day again, unless some large-scale engineering construction may find it.

Feng Tiance can speculate that the men in black and their masters were definitely not the first to discover this ancient river bed.

"Hey, I have to thank these guys for leading me."

After Feng Tiance made a basic judgment, he began to take action.He left the place quietly, and then the leopard, poisonous snake and other animals that he released in the jungle gathered around the canyon.

If you look at it from the three-dimensional map in his mind, countless red dots are gathering towards this area, densely packed and very scary.

Then he approached the canyon again and continued to observe the five people.

The five men in black didn't stop, but continued to dig the soil until a five-meter-long black tree trunk emerged from the soil, and then they stopped.

"Brothers, look, this is the gloomy wood!"

The leader of the five people finally confirmed one thing, there must be many such gloomy trees buried in the canyon here.

"No wonder we kept this operation a secret. Even the four of us didn't know what we were looking for. It turned out to be a gloomy wood, a priceless gloomy wood! Boss, what should we do now?"

Dark wood is not easy to dig, and even more difficult to transport.

Because the density of the gloomy wood is too high, after an ancient tree of tens of meters becomes a gloomy wood, it will often weigh more than ten tons, or even dozens of tons.Not to mention the five of them, even if there were ten times more people, they would not be able to dig out all these gloomy trees and transport them out of the primeval forest.

"Our task is to determine the location, and the rest has nothing to do with us. Brothers, take a break now, eat something and drink some water, and then report to the higher authorities."

The leading man in black climbed up from the tunnel, and then took a few people to find a few rocks to sit down and rest.

Several people took out dry food and drinking water from their backpacks, chatting softly while eating and drinking.

There is a gentle breeze in the canyon, except for the sound of wind blowing leaves and grass, there is silence.Suddenly, all of them suddenly raised their heads at the same time, looking around with solemn expressions.

"Swish"

It was like the sound made by countless animals crawling in the forest, from far to near, it made five people's hairs stand on end in fright.

"What's the movement?"

How dare they sit still, they all stood up one after another.

After a while, countless poisonous snakes quickly crawled over from the mountain and the grass.Judging by that posture, it is to surround and submerge this person.

"What the hell, where are there so many poisonous snakes?"

The five men in black hurriedly dropped the food and water bottles in their hands, and took out pistols from their bodies.The problem is that there are more than tens of thousands of poisonous snakes in all directions, and it makes no difference whether you have weapons or not.

"Didn't it mean that if you wear a small wooden sign on your body, you will not be attacked by these poisonous insects?"

The voice of the man in black who spoke was trembling, and the only hope was the small wooden sign on his body.

"The devil knows! Brothers, don't act rashly, let's run if we find an opportunity."

At this time, there was no time to take out the satellite phone, the eyes of the leading man in black rolled around, just looking for a way to escape.

"Ow."

"Ow."

Following the howling of beasts one after another, one, two, and about seven or eight leopards appeared behind the group of poisonous snakes.These leopards were also scattered in all directions, blocking their escape route.

"Damn! Damn!"

The five men in black suddenly panicked. Even if they had weapons in their hands, they were not the opponents of so many "jungle killers".

"Cluck.clack, and tigers"

The speaker's teeth were chattering, and several Indochinese tigers appeared in sight.Where is this virgin forest? It's like a dragon's pond and a tiger's den.

The encirclement was gradually shrinking, and the eyes of the five black people were full of despair.They are not rookies, all of them are jungle experts.Regardless of how the weird scene in front of them happened, they knew one thing very well, they would never be able to escape from the siege of so many poisonous snakes and beasts.

"Boss, can you shoot?"

There is a limit to a person's tolerance for fear, and beyond this limit, one is either frightened to death or insane.

One of the men in black was on the verge of collapse and almost lost his mind.Fortunately, he still had a little hope in his heart, so he asked a question.

"Shoot? Are you so frightened? No one is allowed to shoot. Don't you think it's strange? These vipers and beasts are like an army around us, and someone is directing them! A broken pistol can't save us , Put it all away."

At this time, the poisonous snakes stopped one or two meters away from several people, but surprisingly, they did not continue to attack, but just stopped in place and stared coldly at the five men in black.

The five of them didn't dare to move, beads of sweat rolled down their foreheads, and none of them reached out to wipe it off.

Feng Tiance was hiding not far away at this time, watching this scene through the cracks in the rocks.He was not at peace, and kept asking himself: "Should these people be killed or not?"

Yes, in the face of the temptation of huge interests, he was murderous.

Time passed by, and it was another night in a blink of an eye.

King Suleiman sat alone in his study, feeling more and more irritable.Because until now, the five people he sent out have not received any news.

At this time, he took out this yellowed map from the safe again.This picture has a history of at least 30 years. This is a priceless treasure discovered by a senior in the family when he was "picking incense" in the Cardamom Mountains.

It was the time of war, and his predecessor was unable to transport these "treasures", so he drew a map.

However, when Senior walked out of the Cardamom Mountains, he accidentally stepped on a landmine.When he was dying, he entrusted a local aborigine to ask the other party to send this paper to Suleiman Island, and promised great benefits.

The key parts on the map are all written in code words, and no one else can understand them. Only the people of King Suleiman's family know what they mean.

But for some reason, the native did not send the map to Suleiman Island immediately, but kept it at home for many years, and it has gone through two generations.

It was not until a few years ago that someone found King Suleiman with a map.King Suleiman knew the picture was real when he saw the code words marked on it.He immediately paid the man one hundred thousand dollars, but killed the man on his way back.

From that moment on, King Suleiman has been secretly looking for this batch of gloomy wood.However, due to the long history, many topography and landforms in the forest have changed, and it is only recently that he has determined the approximate area.
