The team on the mountain wasn't much better off, as they hadn't found a suitable campsite and were thinking of walking a little further.

As a result, one member fell into the pit without paying attention.

Fortunately, the pit wasn't deep; it was an abandoned trap, and even the wooden splinters inside were all crooked and bent over.

Thankfully, otherwise he would definitely have been injured.

Team Leader Qin and his men laughed as they lowered the rope; they would talk about this for a long time.

The team members trapped in the pit looked helpless. Their teammates were all fine in other aspects, but they just liked to watch others make a scene.

Just as I grabbed the rope and was about to climb up, I suddenly saw something.

"Wait a moment!"

The member couldn't help but gasp, and then ran towards the opposite direction.

He kicked the splinter on the ground a long way.

He came to a wall. On the right side of the wall, there was a protrusion. The rest of the wall was relatively flat, but this protrusion was particularly conspicuous, as if it had been deliberately left out.

He said something was wrong. Why would a trap for hunting animals be made so deep? The splinters weren't even that big. It just didn't make sense.

He tried to pry it open and then pounded it inwards, but the surrounding walls didn't budge at all.

He stood there, stroking his chin in thought, feeling that something was amiss.

Just then, a rustling sound came from behind; someone was coming down.

When Captain Qin came down, he saw him standing in front of a wall as if he were possessed.

Carefully approaching, and finding no particular expression on the other person's face, I slapped the back of their head.

"What are you doing? Why aren't you going up?"

The other side snapped back to reality, realizing their captain was worried.

A hint of apology flashed in his eyes. "Sorry, Captain, look over there, isn't it strange?"

The captain followed his finger and saw the round protrusion. He leaned closer to take a look.

"It's quite strange. It wasn't formed naturally; it looks like it was carved by hand."

He was silent for a moment, then shouted to those above, "Come down, everyone, we think we've found a place."

Soon, everyone arrived at the trap, and they began to check if there was anything unusual about it.

One of them patted the first person who fell on the shoulder and said, "You're really good, kid. You found this one. You're lucky. Come on, let's see if there's any way to activate the mechanism."

In the deep mountains and forests, with no villages or cities around, there was suddenly a trap. The wood splinters looked so old and worn that they were obviously from many years ago.

Then there were unusual protrusions on the wall, which didn't make any sense no matter how you looked at it.

The first member to fall rubbed his shoulder helplessly and joined the search team.

In the dead of winter, everyone wants to go home as soon as possible. Who wouldn't want to eat hot pot while lying in a warm bed?

Finish the mission as soon as possible and go home as soon as possible.

After a long time, they still hadn't found anything, and the group became somewhat discouraged.

Team Leader Qin walked up to the circular protrusion and tried tapping it up and down and shaking it left and right, but there was no sign of it moving.

He rummaged around at the very front of the circular protrusion a few more times, and suddenly, the top part trembled.

He was certain it wasn't his imagination, so he quickly rummaged around a bit more and saw that the top of the circle had been turned up, revealing a small circular hole.

Everyone stared at Captain Qin in shock. No, this is possible?

Is Captain Qin blessed by the god of luck?

Team leader Qin was being stared at with strange looks by his teammates, but he tried his best to maintain an unchanging expression.

"See if there's anything round, try inserting it."

Having a goal provides motivation, and you immediately start searching.

"Captain, we've found it."

One of the members picked up a round wooden stick from the ground, which looked like a bow and arrow.

Amidst the expectant gazes of the crowd, the wooden stick was placed into the round hole.

Then came a creaking sound, and the wall in front of them suddenly opened from one side, revealing a door.

After entering through the door, I turned in a different direction and suddenly saw a passageway.

Half of the passageway is man-made, and the other half is naturally formed.

There was a faint smell of decay in the air. The door was opened, allowing air to circulate, and the smell improved after a short while.

The group cautiously moved forward, and another wall appeared ahead.

This time the wall was easy to break through; just flip the button on top to the side and it opened.

The scene behind them startled everyone: the ground was covered with withered bones, all of which had turned to white bones, suggesting that they had been in a fight before they died.

Some skeletons were tangled together, while others had their heads separated from their bodies. These people were wearing the same clothes, but the clothes were so badly rotten that it was impossible to tell them apart.

"Could it be that the treasure was found but not distributed fairly, causing infighting?"

One member guessed.

"Judging from the degree of decay of the clothes, the time of death is at least a hundred years. Look here."

One member pointed to the chest area of ​​the skeleton, where the clothing bore the same pattern.

“Every skeleton’s clothing has this pattern; could it be someone from the church?”

Since its founding, the Eagle Nation has had different churches in every period, and at one point, a church even ruled the entire country.

"It's possible. Let's ignore them for now and quickly search for any treasures."

If they weren't forced to, and given the long winters in the Eagle Country, they would never go up the mountain in the dead of winter.

It was such a miserable experience.

Upon hearing what Captain Qin said, everyone scattered and began searching for other entrances and exits.

The cave is very large, and there are more than fifty skeletons on the ground.

Team Leader Qin guessed that, in order to keep this secret, the others were ordered to kill each other when they left, and in the end, all of them stayed behind.

It's likely that the people who left wanted to come back sometime, but something happened and they didn't return, ultimately benefiting them.

The group moved quickly and found an entrance.

Behind the entrance was a long corridor, and the group walked for a long time before finally arriving at a large cave.

The cave was filled with boxes, some of which were opened to reveal glittering gold and silver jewelry, large pearls in both white and colored varieties, as well as some antique paintings and calligraphy.

In addition to these, there were rusty ironware, old-fashioned pistols, and large quantities of food such as rice and flour.

However, the food had long since spoiled and was no longer edible.

There were so many boxes that they practically filled the entire cave.

Everyone swallowed hard. If they weren't soldiers, who could remain unmoved by such gold and silver?

No wonder everyone in the world wants to make money; these things are just so pleasing to the eye.

"Let's go back first and call Comrade Lin over!"

Team Leader Qin called out to the group.

He wasn't sure if these things would oxidize, so he simply left them there and let Lin Chuchu come and take them away.
