Seeing Leng Mengyao walking towards him quickly with two maps in his hands, looking excited, Lu Xuan forced himself to swallow the grilled fish that was already in his mouth.
"Did you find anything? Ahem…"
Lu Xuan almost choked after swallowing such a big piece in one go.
"Do you still remember the names of the five legendary holy places?"
Leng Mengyao did not directly answer Lu Xuan's question, but instead asked everyone present a question.
"I remember there were dragon caves and holy springs..."
Yin Yichen was the first to answer, but this girl could probably only remember these two.
"There are also the sacred mountain and the Phoenix Nest..."
After thinking for a moment, Shen Keyin gave two more answers.
"And... and..."
Seeing that no one mentioned the fifth place, Aphrodite glanced at everyone with her round eyes and stammered, wanting to say something, but she didn't know how to express it in Chinese, so she was stuck...
"And there's an open flame somewhere?"
In the end, it was Taylor who answered the name of the fifth holy place.
"Yes, there are five holy places in total. Although the handwriting on this half of our parchment map is very similar, the outline of the deserted island is very clear. On the way back, I deliberately wrote down the coastline, rivers and mountains we passed by. They are all very similar to those on this map, so this map is really not just a random sketch. Look here, this is where the holy spring is, and this is our cave, which is also the location of the dragon's lair..."
Leng Mengyao spread the parchment scroll in front of everyone, emphasizing the location of the holy spring and the dragon's lair.
"Mengyao, there does seem to be some difference between these two places. The color of the ink is indeed darker than other places. It's even more obvious when you look at it under the light."
After Leng Mengyao emphasized this, Shen Keyin and Aphrodite immediately noticed something was wrong.
"It's just a darker color, what's the point? It doesn't really mean anything..."
Yin Yichen pouted, but was somewhat dismissive of it. To her, unless the "treasure location" was clearly marked on the map, it was all invalid information.
"Then look here..."
At this moment, Leng Mengyao suddenly moved his finger seven or eight centimeters upwards on the map, pointing to the location of the lighthouse at the top of the parchment map.
"Isn't this the lighthouse? What's this about...wait...I think I know."
Yin Yichen paused halfway through her words, then suddenly widened her eyes and looked at Leng Mengyao.
"Yichen, what do you know?"
When Shen Keyin and Aphrodite saw Miss Yin's exaggerated expression, they looked up at each other with confusion.
At this moment, Lu Xuan did not pay attention to Yin Yichen, but focused his attention on the top of the parchment map, which was the location of the lighthouse.
"Open flame!"
Three seconds later, Lu Xuan and Yin Yichen said two words in unison!
"right!"
After hearing these two words, Leng Mengyao nodded solemnly.
"Mengyao, what are you talking about?"
Shen Keyin and Aphrodite obviously still didn't react until Lu Xuan pointed at the lighthouse and said it again.
"This is an open flame!"
"This lighthouse is an open flame... yeah, a flame used for lighting, isn't that what an open flame means? Wow, we've found another one! It turns out this lighthouse is also a sacred place."
After being enlightened by Lu Xuan, Shen Keyin's brain circuit seemed to be opened up all of a sudden, and she understood everything in an instant.
"Then there are still two places missing. Where are the sacred mountain and the Phoenix Nest?"
Three of the five holy places have been found on the map, and only two are left. Yin Yichen was extremely excited at the moment. Holding the map, she began to scan it from top to bottom and from left to right, wishing she could stick her face on it.
"I can't find it... Could it be here? It doesn't look like it. Is that here? It's not here either..."
Everything looked like a "sacred mountain" and a "phoenix's nest" to Miss Yin now, but she had rejected each of these places one by one.
"You don't have to look for it anymore..."
Just when everyone was busy looking for the remaining two holy land marks on the parchment map, Leng Mengyao poured cold water on everyone.
"Ah? Not looking for it anymore, that would be such a shame."
Yin Yichen now felt that the priceless treasure was right in front of her, but Leng Mengyao asked her to give up. This girl was not willing to give up and was still holding the map and thinking about it.
"...Meng Yao, are you saying that the remaining two holy places are not on this map?"
Lu Xuan thought for a moment and seemed to understand what Leng Mengyao meant.
"Yes, if I'm not mistaken, the remaining sacred mountains and Phoenix Nest should not be on this half of the map!"
Leng Mengyao nodded solemnly.
"Ah? That's a waste of joy. I thought I could find the treasure tonight."
Miss Yin is indeed impatient. She is already thinking about embracing her so-called treasure tonight.
"If I remember correctly, the sacred mountain should be located on the southeast side of the deserted island, close to the cannibal tribe. Jessica explained this."
Just when everyone was still lamenting the loss of information about the other two holy places, Leng Mengyao gave everyone a little hope.
"Oh, yes, I remember now. I think it was you, Aphrodite, who told us."
After being reminded by Leng Mengyao, Shen Keyin seemed to remember something and turned to look at Aphrodite.
"Yes, Sister Jessica told me that, so the location of the sacred mountain should be in the southeast, which is on the second map."
Aphrodite nodded, then casually tapped the bottom of the map.
"A sacred mountain? The problem is, we've been to the cannibal tribe, and we didn't see any towering mountains. Where does this sacred mountain come from?"
Yin Yichen recalled carefully, but seemed unable to remember what mountain she had seen today.
"It's just called the Sacred Mountain, it doesn't necessarily mean a very high mountain range. Qin Jianli, you're most familiar with that place. Think carefully, is there any place that can be called the Sacred Mountain?"
Speaking of this, Leng Mengyao still thought of Qin Jilai. After all, he was the one who was most familiar with the cannibal tribe. Moreover, this man also had his own unique knowledge of geography.
"Mountains? Let me think... Speaking of mountains, there don't seem to be any particularly high ones there..."
Qin Jicheng scratched the back of his head and thought hard.
"Mountains...altitude...I think I know!"
After thinking for a moment, Qin Jianli suddenly slapped his head, as if he had thought of something...
