Chapter 838 Treasures! Tons of Gold!

“Boom…” Fang Qiu stepped on the gas at full throttle and drove the jet ski straight into the deep sea. He came to the deep sea area several kilometers away from the island and then turned around. While allowing the jet ski to rush forward, he directly untied the vine tied to the tail of the jet ski. Huge expanses of spray were surging on the sea. After he untied the vine, Fang Qiu drove the jet ski more than ten meters away before stopping it.

He turned his head and took a look.

In the splash of water, the serpent with black stripes was struggling to swim wildly in the sea. There was no land on all sides, so it swam desperately towards Fang Qiu’s jet ski.

“Humph.” Fang Qiu let out a cold snort, started the jet ski directly, and took the serpent circling in the water.

No matter how the serpent swam, it could never catch up with the jet ski.

Fang Qiu was just coldly watching the serpent soaking in the sea.

Although the serpent was a very good swimmer, this was sea water instead of fresh water! Sea water was salty. The bodies of modern amphibians and many terrestrial reptiles were covered with bare skin. The cells in their bodies were easily in direct contact with the external environment. The concentration of salt in the fluids and blood of these animals was much lower than that found in sea water.

Therefore, in this case, once these reptiles entered the high-concentration seawater, a large amount of water in their bodies would leak out, causing excessive water loss and death. Some scientists had done special research.

Generally, amphibians and terrestrial reptiles could not survive for a long time in waters with a 1% salt content. In waters with a salt concentration of more than 1%, these animals would die soon. However, the current salt concentration of seawater generally reached more than 2%, and some were even as high as 4.2%. Therefore, the absolute majority of amphibians could not live in the ocean. Knowing this, Fang Qiu had taken this serpent into the deep sea.

Actually, at first Fang Qiu had just wanted to drag the boa constrictor to the beach to throw it into the sea, and then waited for it to swim back before putting it into the sea again. Fortunately, he had just run into the director team and gotten a jet ski. This was much more convenient. In the deep sea area, the boa constrictor was chasing the jet ski vigorously in extreme fright, trying to climb onto the jet ski to prevent the sea from harming it.

But no matter how it swam, it could never catch up with Fang Qiu. Moreover, there had been many wounds in its body, so the seawater penetrated its body faster. From afar, the PDs of the program team also drove their jet skis to come over for fear that something might happen to Fang Qiu. When they saw Fang Qiu walking the snake, they immediately stopped in the distance and continued shooting.

Finally, in the cameras of these PDs, Fang Qiu watched this boa constrictor in the sea indifferently as it was being killed by salt in terror. This last shot was taken. Looking at the dead boa constrictor, Fang Qiu was still indifferent. However, everyone knew that it was not that Fang Qiu was indifferent, but that this snake deserved it!

After all, after eating the body of a guru-level expert, the serpent had acquired Qi of Heaven and Earth, and it had lived for hundreds of years. It was probably spiritual. Therefore, when the boa constrictor stopped moving and these PDs in the distance were about to come over, Fang Qiu immediately reached out to stop them! As expected, after a few minutes, the serpent came back to life again and started chasing Fang Qiu’s jet ski desperately again.

Unfortunately, this time, it didn’t last for too long. In just five minutes, it lost all its energy, and then gradually stopped swimming. It turned its whole body over in the sea and exposed its belly. It was finally dead!

In order to avoid accidents, Fang Qiu approached it first. After confirming that the boa constrictor was dead, he pulled it back to the coast. Three PDs followed him. But when he returned to the sh.o.r.e, Fang Qiu found that the others were no longer there. “Did they go back to the cave?” He was surprised.

Fang Qiu dragged the serpent and walked towards the entrance of the cave. The PDs followed him from afar and kept shooting this scene. Looking at Fang Qiu’s back, the PDs sighed. It was a subtle way to show his respect for the heroic predecessor who had pa.s.sed away. Fang Qiu had finally taken revenge for the hero!

Thinking of the story of the old guard Yang Yizhi, everyone was emotional. It didn’t take long before Fang Qiu came to the entrance at the end of the cave. All the staff of the program team led by Liu Guobin as well as the six MCs and Song Yaqi was greatly relieved when Fang Qiu came back.

But when Fang Qiu approached and they saw the serpent dragged by Fang Qiu in his hand, they looked shocked.

“D*mn.” Liu Qings.h.i.+ greeted him, looked at the serpent in his hand, and asked in surprise, “Did you really kill it? How did it die?”

“It was killed by salt,” Fang Qiu answered. Everyone was stunned to hear it. Many of them really didn’t know that terrestrial reptiles could be killed by the salt in sea water.

Looking at the corpse of this serpent and thinking about how it had died, Liu Qings.h.i.+ couldn’t help but silently mourn for it for a second. Of course, he didn’t know the truth that Fang Qiu had found out. If he had known that the boa constrictor had eaten the body of the old guard, he would probably have been angrier than Fang Qiu. “It’s good that it’s dead. We wouldn’t be afraid when it died.”

After a simple comment, Liu Qings.h.i.+ grabbed Fang Qiu excitedly and asked, “Guess what we found?” “What?” Fang Qiu stepped forward suspiciously. It turned out that everyone was in this big pit in front of the entrance of the cave.

At this time, the tattered wooden boxes in the big pit had been opened by them. He took a closer look and found that these wooden boxes were full of gold! “What do you think? Are you dazzled?” Liu Qings.h.i.+ looked at Fang Qiu, and said very excitedly, “We just came back to check and were shocked by the gold. We counted together. There are several tons of gold at least!”

Hearing Liu Qings.h.i.+’s words, Fang Qiu was stunned. “Are there really treasures?”

He hadn’t expected that his offhand remark would actually come true, and there were really treasures on this island! “Aha, I didn’t expect that you were right.” Liu Qings.h.i.+ patted Fang Qiu on the shoulder with excitement, and said, “We believe that the gold was probably s.n.a.t.c.hed by the heroic predecessor from the pirates nearby that he had wiped out. I didn’t quite believe it when you said that he wiped out the pirates, but I really believed it after I saw so much gold!”

“Good.” Fang Qiu thought for a while, looked at Liu Guobin standing in front of the gold, and asked, “Was it all recorded?”

“Rest a.s.sured.” Liu Guobin smiled and said, “We’ve recorded everything since we returned from the coastline, including the entire process of your first appearance in this place.”

“That’s good.” Fang Qiu nodded. Although this was an uninhabited island, the rule of “finders keepers” didn’t apply to such valuable things.

After all, this was a show recording. If a person came to this island and found the gold, he could have taken it away quietly, but now almost everyone had seen it. There were many witnesses and opinions.

It was obviously impossible to take it away.

“I will go in and see the remains of the hero.” Fang Qiu dragged the boa constrictor into the cave. It turned out that they had found all the bones and put them together.

It seemed that everyone respected the ancient hero very much. After all, such a hero really deserved the admiration of everyone!

Fang Qiu felt sorry for the hero. He took the serpent to the side, and then put the bones into a human shape.

He was a doctor who naturally knew the bones of the human body very well. Although the others were not afraid of the bones of the ancient hero, they didn’t know how to put them in the right places! That was why everyone had been waiting for Fang Qiu to come.

Soon, Fang Qiu put the bones together so that the whole skeleton was half lying against the wall. After putting them together, he took a closer look and found that the skeleton of the hero was obviously much larger than that of an ordinary person. It could be seen from the skeleton that he must have been a burly man when he was alive, otherwise, he would not have been strong enough to keep the area safe with one sword alone!

Standing in front of the skeleton, Fang Qiu bowed deeply. When others saw Fang Qiu’s movement, they all walked over and bowed deeply to the skeleton of the predecessor.

The ceremony was over! Fang Qiu turned his head, looked at Liu Guobin, and asked, “Can we bring back the bones of the ancient hero and take him home?”

“I would like to.” Liu Guobin smiled wryly, and then said, “But we can’t decide on this, and there are tons of gold outside the cave. We can’t handle it privately. I have to call the emba.s.sy and wait for their decision.”

“OK.” Fang Qiu nodded.

There was nothing they could do. They were abroad now, and they really couldn’t deal with anything at will. After their conversation, Liu Guobin immediately walked aside and dialed the number of the emba.s.sy.

“h.e.l.lo?” The phone was connected.

“h.e.l.lo, I am Liu Guobin, the director of China’s Run Wild & Survive program team. We found the remains of Zheng He’s Voyages to the West and the bones of a guard of the Ming Dynasty. We also found a lot of gold,” Liu Guobin said.

“What? Relic of Zheng He? Gold?” There was a surprising sound on the other end of the line.

“That’s right.” Liu Guobin nodded and said, “As for the quant.i.ty of gold, there are several tons of gold.”

“Oh my!” On the other side of the line, the emba.s.sy staff was shocked.

Did he know how much several tons of gold were worth? How dared he say so?

But on second thought, the staff of the emba.s.sy remembered that the caller had announced his name and work unit, and the program team had indeed filed a report. “Wait, I will send someone over immediately.” He hung up the phone.

The people from the emba.s.sy set off immediately. It didn’t take long for them to arrive at the uninhabited island. Under the guidance of the program staff, they found the detailed location of Liu Guobin and the others.

The moment they saw the gold, they were also dumbfounded! They hadn’t expected it either.

There were true ruins on this uninhabited island, and there were actually tons of gold! What should they do?
