As a famous tourist destination in the Philippines, Puerto Galera is quite prosperous. In addition, Carl Morris knew a lot of people in the Philippines, so not long after arriving in Puerto Galera, Morris rented an Agusta A119 medium-sized helicopter.
This helicopter is of the same model as the one Yang Jing took when he went to Papua New Guinea for an aerial inspection of mineral processing last year. It can carry a total of eight people, including the pilot. There are exactly eight people in Yang Jing's group, and Chris is flying the helicopter, so there is no need to hire a pilot.
After filling up the helicopter's luggage compartment, several people boarded the brand new helicopter. According to Morris, the helicopter was bought less than two months ago and has flown less than 2,000 kilometers in total.
The straight-line distance from Puerto Galera to San Teodoro is less than 25 kilometers. The helicopter arrived over the San Teodoro area not long after taking off.
This is an area with an altitude of more than one thousand meters. A few kilometers to the south is Alcón, the highest peak of Mindoro Island.
According to the coordinates Yang Jing said, the helicopter flew to that location. Chris said, "Boss, a little further south from where the two rivers meet is the coordinate location you mentioned, 13.31 degrees north latitude and 120.94 degrees east longitude. That location is a small hill."
The coordinate location recorded in Alfred's notebook is located exactly at the confluence of two rivers. This is a tropical mountainous area with abundant rainfall, so a small river can be seen in almost every valley. These small rivers will converge together little by little, and eventually form a larger river, rushing and roaring into the Pacific Ocean.
Yang Jing activated the "Sky Eye" skill, but he didn't find anything unusual at this coordinate point. He looked around and didn't see anything different. This made Yang Jing, who was originally full of hope to find a treasure, a little disappointed.
Then Yang Jing felt a little amused at his own greed.
You know, Alfred's notebook records eight locations. How is it possible that all eight locations contain treasures? The Philippines is so poor, it is impossible for there to be eight treasures.
Although this is a mountainous area, except for the river channel, almost all other places are covered by lush primitive jungle. There are dozens of meters high trees everywhere, and the lush treetops are connected together, really blocking out the sky and the sun.
It was even difficult for the plane to find a place to land. Although there were no trees in the river, it was full of rocks the size of houses. Those were rocks washed down from the mountain by mountain torrents, and the helicopter could not land at all.
Chris flew the helicopter for a long circle before he found a rare small area not covered by trees about two kilometers away from the location, and then he landed the plane there safely.
After getting off the plane and getting everyone equipped, they headed towards the location two kilometers away.
"Damn it, I hate the rainforest!" Clark, who was leading the way in front, spat and started complaining after he used a machete to pick up a colorful venomous snake.
The environment here is even worse than that in Papua New Guinea. When we were investigating mineral veins in Papua New Guinea, we mostly went to high altitude areas, which were at least not so hot and humid. But the average altitude here is only about 1,000 meters, and the altitude of the place we are going to is even less than 700 meters, so the temperature and humidity here are much higher than the tropical rainforest in Papua New Guinea.
In Clark's words, this place reminded him of the Amazon rainforest in South America.
There were huge trees everywhere that blocked out the sun. Between the trees, all kinds of shrubs and vines filled the already limited space tightly. Add to that the ubiquitous snakes and insects, and moving forward in such an environment was simply a disaster.
"Clark, is this place really the same as the Amazon rainforest?" Kevin Martin had never been to the Amazon jungle, and now he was very bored walking there, so he started to make small talk.
Chris behind Clark turned his head and said, "It's scarier there than here. If it were me, I would rather be here than go to a hellhole like the Amazon. That place can really kill people." As he said this, Chris seemed to recall some bad memories and his body shuddered.
Yang Jing took out a three-inch long steel nail from his pocket, and then threw it casually. After a flash of black light, a big hairy spider the size of a child's palm was nailed to the trunk of the big tree next to Clark. This move caused Morris and the others to scream in excitement.
Yang Jing smiled and said, "Be careful, this is a type of tarantula, and it's extremely poisonous! A few years ago, there was a report that an elderly Filipino man was bitten by this spider, and his entire right leg was amputated. Of course, this horrible result may be caused by other infections, but if you are bitten by this spider, it is even more serious than a bite from a king cobra."
After hearing this, several people couldn't help but shrink their heads.
This big hairy spider not only looks scary, but if you really get bit by it, the effect will definitely be even more terrifying.
The group of eight people walked hard for more than an hour in the dense tropical jungle before they completed the two-kilometer journey.
However, when Bruno held up the GPS and confirmed that this was the coordinate point, everyone was dumbfounded.
There is nothing else to be found here except the big trees and the ubiquitous vines.
"Did I make a mistake?" Yang Jing couldn't help but start to doubt the situation. Although this area was better than the road we came from, it was still a tropical rain forest. Apart from the dense plants, there was nothing unusual here.
In fact, in this kind of tropical rainforest, let alone more than 70 years, even if it is only seven days, everything will be covered by dense plants. But looking for something unusual in this kind of rainforest is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Kevin Martin looked up at the tree above him, rubbed his hands, and climbed up along the vines. After a while, he stood on a branch and shouted, "Boss, there is a big tree at four o'clock in the east. It seems a little different."
Kevin Martin's words cheered Yang Jing up, and he shouted at the top of his voice under the tree: "How far is that tree from here?"
"It's about 200 meters. I'll go down now. It shouldn't be difficult to get there."
After Kevin Martin came down, the group continued to head southeast. Just as Kevin Martin had just said, this distance was relatively easy to walk, and it took them more than ten minutes to get there.
The huge tree in front of them made several people a little dumbfounded...
ps: I would like to thank “Xintian 1” for the reward of 100.
