"Hahaha~~ I see, that's how it is!"
Lu Xuan roared to the sky across the valley.
Leng Mengyao on the opposite side appeared much more dignified and elegant.
“I cannot see the true face of Mount Lu because I am already in it…”
"Hey, you two are crazy, one is laughing, the other is reciting poetry, what's going on? The treasure hasn't been found yet, are you going crazy first?"
When Chen Keyin saw these two people, each one was more puzzled than the other, and she was completely confused.
"Keyin, look here, take a good look."
Leng Mengyao pointed at this place and the ridge on the opposite side of Lu Xuan, and gestured to Shen Keyin excitedly.
"What... What's so good about this broken mountain? And there are so many vines along the way, like snakes, it's really scary..."
However, Shen Keyin never understood it until Taylor explained it carefully, and then the girl suddenly realized it.
"So this broken mountain pass is the 'Phoenix Nest'... You know what, it's round, and the hillside is covered with these vines. It really does look a bit like it... But this Phoenix Nest is really big..."
After Taylor's explanation, Shen Keyin widened her big, kazilan eyes and scanned the surrounding environment.
"But... what's the point of creating such a large Phoenix Nest? It feels like... several of the holy places are quite large..."
While Shen Keyin was still marveling at the appearance of the Phoenix Nest, Taylor had already carefully recalled several holy places he knew, whether it was his own residence, the dragon's lair, the holy spring in front of Charlie's tribe, or the newly discovered Phoenix Nest, they all looked spectacular.
"Lu Xuan, let's meet up at the old place! Let's go down and talk..."
"Ah? You're leaving now? You're just going to leave this Phoenix Nest alone after you've found it? Then what are you looking for?"
Chen Keyin was still admiring this so-called Phoenix Nest. After thinking for a moment, Leng Mengyao suddenly slapped his thigh, shouted to Lu Xuan opposite, and hurried down the mountain. This action confused Chen Keyin again.
"Mengyao, please walk slower and wait for me! Do you know something?"
After all, Chen Keyin had been with Leng Mengyao for so many years. When she saw her best friend so excited, she immediately realized what key information the other party must have analyzed.
"I also need to take a look at the other parchment map in Lu Xuan's hand. I think I will know what this holy land represents."
Leng Mengyao seemed very excited. She no longer cared about her image as a female CEO and actually started to jog, which was a rare occurrence for her.
"Hey, Mengyao, wait for us, what did you find?"
She had never seen Leng Mengyao so excited before. Shen Keyin trotted after him and asked him the reason.
"Keyin, don't you think this so-called holy land is basically meaningless except for fooling those savages?"
Leng Mengyao did not directly answer Shen Keyin's question, but instead asked a question.
"Yeah... those names sound pretty nice, like Sacred Mountain, Holy Spring, Dragon's Cave, Phoenix's Nest, Open Fire... But aside from looking impressive, they're useless. This cave is just an ordinary cave, and the spring water is neither sweet nor salty. As for this Phoenix's Nest, it seems completely useless. These places only seem to scare those primitive people..."
Shen Keyin recalled it carefully and found that it was just as Leng Mengyao said. These so-called five holy places seemed to be just nice names.
"Sister Mengyao, so you mean that this holy land should have other meanings?"
Taylor, who had been listening attentively to the conversation between the two without interrupting, took two quick steps to catch up with them, and seemed to have thought of something.
"Yes, the five holy places on this map are definitely not just for viewing. Do you remember the words on the parchment scroll?"
Leng Mengyao continued to speed up his pace down the hill while asking another question.
"Sister Mengyao, do you mean treasure or centre?"
When Taylor mentioned the two words on the parchment scroll, he immediately remembered the only two English words on it.
"Yes! It's the centre! Lu Xuan, we're here!"
While chatting, they returned to their original positions. From a distance, Leng Mengyao saw Lu Xuan squatting there.
Lu Xuan had just dragged Qin Jicheng down with him and ran all the way down, and he was indeed a few minutes faster than Leng Mengyao and the other two. However, because he ran too fast, he was now too tired to breathe.
"Quick, quick...quick...put the two maps together, center, center!"
When Lu Xuan saw Leng Mengyao and others coming, he didn't even bother to rest. He stood up and took out the first parchment map he found on the yacht from his bag.
Leng Mengyao on the other side did not say anything and took out the second parchment map he had just found.
Since there were no tables or chairs here, the two men simply used the ground as a mat and spread the two parchment scrolls directly on the ground.
After some fiddling, the two maps were finally merged into one.
"I understand, I understand everything! ... Yes, that's right! This so-called Phoenix Nest, sacred mountain, and holy water are all just empty talk. Only these two maps in my hands are the key."
Although Lu Xuan still seemed a little out of breath due to the previous frantic run, he still tried his best to adjust his breathing, pouring out the sudden enlightenment in his heart, with unquestionable firmness in his words.
"Yes! Here, here... Is there a pen, Lu Xuan?"
"I didn't bring a pen. But I can use a twine instead."
Without saying a word, Lu Xuan took out a piece of hemp rope from his bag and cut it into several pieces with the dagger he carried with him.
"Hey, what are you talking about? Why can't I understand you?"
The more Shen Keyin listened, the more confused she became. She kept scratching her head and looking at Lu Xuan and Leng Mengyao in front of her.
"Sister Keyin, it's very simple. Connect these five dots and dash lines. The center should be where the treasure is."
Taylor summed up the problem succinctly in one sentence.
"Five points connected? The center? Could it be that... this is what the word 'centre' means?"
Although she understood Taylor's explanation, Shen Keyin still felt her head buzzing because she had received too much information at once.
Lu Xuan had already placed the five pieces of rope he had cut onto the map made up of the two parchments.
"Wow... this feels a lot like a five-pointed star!"
Seeing that Lu Xuan successfully connected the five points with hemp rope, a five-pointed star pattern appeared in front of everyone.
"So, this is where the treasure is!"
Lu Xuan suddenly poked his index finger, pointing directly at the center of the five-pointed star!
