"We have to leave two people behind to look after the boat. Who among the four of you would like to stay?"
After docking the boat at the shore, Lu Xuan turned and looked at the four girls.
"Ah? I don't work as a security guard."
Miss Yin was the first to wave her hand and refuse. This girl was obsessed with going to places she had never been to and would not be content to guard the ship here.
Lu Xuan looked at the four people and saw that none of them spoke, so he simply assigned two of them himself.
"Yichen, you and Aphrodite stay..."
"Ah!? Why me? I'm going treasure hunting..."
Miss Yin was naturally very unhappy about this, but Lu Xuan would not indulge her. He simply ignored her objection and continued, "Keep this hunting rifle. If you encounter any danger, fire it into the air first and we will know immediately."
"I don't want to. I don't want to stay."
Miss Yin covered her ears, pretending not to hear.
Seeing the girl's appearance, Lu Xuan could only use his signature skill of "fool" to deceive her.
"Yichen, besides the two men here, you're the most capable in every aspect. Only you can use this hunting rifle. I wouldn't trust anyone else to stay here, but if you stay, it will be the best protection for our entire team."
"Really?"
As expected, this talk worked, and Miss Yin was immediately attracted by Lu Xuan's touching words.
"Yichen, among the four of us girls, you are indeed the most powerful. I don't even dare to use a gun."
At this critical moment, Shen Keyin gave a great assist, and Leng Mengyao also looked at Yin Yichen with hope.
"Haha, I told you, how can you do without me? Don't worry, don't worry, with me, Yin Yichen, here, nothing will go wrong. Just go ahead and feel free. I've issued a military order. I will protect the boat and Luo Luo. As long as we're on the boat, we're safe!"
After some deception, he successfully kept Miss Yin, and Lu Xuan also received the other party's military order.
After Lu Xuan gave some special instructions to the two people, he took the other four people to the real offshore island.
"Which direction is the fourth scroll in, and how far away is it from the helicopter pad?"
While walking, Lu Xuan also inquired about the locations of his two mission targets for today.
"Not too far, both are in the southwest. The two locations are less than three kilometers apart at most. It's just... the place where the scroll is..."
"Fuck you, if you have something to say, just say it now. If you keep hesitating, I'll kill you right now."
Seeing Qin Jicheng hesitating again, Lu Xuan got angry and hit him on the head.
"Don't fight, don't fight... I mean, that place is very dangerous."
"Dangerous? You mean there are a lot of guards?"
Hearing the word "danger", Lu Xuan frowned involuntarily, and naturally thought of the primitive people. After all, they were the real masters of these two islands.
"No, no... there's no one over there..."
As a result, Qin Jicheng just waved his hands.
"No one? How dangerous is it if there's no one?"
The more Lu Xuan listened, the more confused he became, and he suddenly kicked Qin Jianli again.
"I say, I say... this scroll... is... on the mountain?"
"On the mountain?"
Now everyone was even more confused.
"Yes, it's stuck in a crevice in the mountain, about two hundred meters from the ground. The mountain isn't very high, so it's probably less than three hundred meters in total."
In order to avoid being punched and kicked by Lu Xuan again, Qin Jicheng blurted out words in a hurry.
Yet, even so, the onlookers remained bewildered and filled with doubt. How could this perfectly fine parchment scroll be so inexplicably lodged in a crevice? What on earth was going on? Could this heavenly book have truly fallen from the sky?
"Well, it's like this. Rumor has it that long ago, two groups of primitive people fought a fierce battle for this scroll. During the fight on the top of a mountain, they accidentally dropped the scroll. The south wind was blowing at the time, so it blew the fallen scroll into a crevice in the mountain."
Seeing that the people in front of him were all looking at him, Qin Jicheng continued his explanation.
But the story became more and more mysterious the more he listened, and Lu Xuan even started to glance at him sideways.
"Your Majesty... No, Brother Lu, I don't know whether this story is true or not, but the scroll is stuck in the crevice of the mountain. It's absolutely true. If I lie, I will be struck by lightning."
Qin Jicheng suddenly felt something was wrong and immediately began to swear to the sky.
"Then how do you know that this scroll is the parchment scroll map we are looking for?"
Before Lu Xuan could speak, Leng Mengyao asked a key question.
"Yes, yes, from such a distance, could it be that you have clairvoyance?"
Shen Keyin immediately added a sentence with reason and evidence.
"This...this...I also heard about it..."
"Fuck you, are you making fun of me?"
As a result, Qin Jicheng scratched the back of his head and just opened his mouth when he was beaten by Lu Xuan again.
"Don't fight, don't fight! Brother Lu, although I haven't seen the scroll myself, Wang Gang, Richard from the Charlie Tribe, and Alusha all said so, so it can't be wrong. And... think about it, don't you all have two of these parchment scrolls? Isn't this the only one left?"
Qin Jicheng took several steps back and began to explain hurriedly.
"Alucia said that too? Taylor, do you have any impression?"
Hearing that not only Wang Gang, who was killed by him, and Richard, who was killed by Qin Jicheng, said so, but even Alushia, the elder of the Charlie tribe, said so, Lu Xuan had to consider it seriously.
"I seem to have some recollection of it being mentioned somewhere on a mountain... Richard even specifically asked about it at the time, but the matter was later dropped. I wonder if they weren't sure which mountain it was on at the time? Or maybe they knew it was on an offshore island, but couldn't get there without a boat..."
Taylor recalled it carefully and agreed with Qin Jicheng's opinion.
"Brother Lu, look... I wasn't lying, was I? It's not far ahead, but we still have to go down a little further."
Hearing Taylor confirm his words, Qin Jicheng finally put his mind at ease.
Just as Qin Jicheng said, after walking for a while, everyone started to go downhill.
"What kind of place is this? Why are we still going down?"
Lu Xuan looked around curiously and felt that his group had entered a canyon.
"Look up, that's the mountain. The parchment scroll is stuck there..."
When everyone reached the lowest point of the canyon, Qin Jianli raised his hand and pointed southwest. Then everyone saw a very steep rock wall that was only two or three hundred meters high...
