Chapter 1260 – Golden City (II)

The hillside covered with green vines, is in the lake directly in front of more than thirty meters, Zhuang Rui in running, suddenly found, from the lake to the hillside, there is a wide and long green stone road plate, this man-made construction of traces, has been very obvious.

The distance of more than thirty meters, for the aura in Zhuang Rui’s eyes is but instantaneous, before Zhuang Rui had time to sigh at this wide green stone slab steps, the aura has already covered the entire hillside in front of him.

“I …… I …… fuck!”

Just as the aura wrapped the hillside, Zhuang Rui’s body that was originally running forward stumbled violently, and his feet were then tripped by the vines, and the whole person flopped onto the ground.

But fell to the ground Zhuang Rui at this moment has been completely cared about the pain on the arm, wide-eyed, a face of unbelievable dead staring at the hillside in front.

No …… where is that a hillside? It was a castle, only covered by the wild vines of the forest, and more importantly, many parts of this castle were made out of gold.

Inside and outside the main body of the wooden and stone structure of the castle, there is a layer of very thin but is made of pure gold walls, countless furniture inside the castle decoration, all are made of gold and silver, relatively speaking, silver accounted for a larger proportion.

Such a castle that can be called a golden city, contains a huge amount of energy, Zhuang Rui’s aura just contacted with one of them, was moisturized by that energy all over the body Shu Tai, of course, do not feel the pain of falling down.

“Brother Zhuang, what’s wrong? What’s so exciting?”

Peng Fei, who was following behind Zhuang Rui, reached out his hand and pulled Zhuang Rui up, he had followed Zhuang Rui for so many years, and had never seen Zhuang Rui in such a state.

“Hm? Could it be that there’s something odd about that hillside?”

Peng Fei saw that Zhuang Rui didn’t pay attention to him at all, just a pair of eyes staring straight at the mountainside in front of him, he couldn’t help but look over as well.

It just so happened that at this time the silverback that had been taken in by Zhuang Rui also ran to the hillside, only to see that it grabbed the vines and easily climbed halfway up the slope, and then lifted a place that was covered by the vines with its big hands, and its entire figure disappeared inside.

“What color is this …… this?”

This time even Peng Fei also noticed, just in the moment when the vines were lifted off, the afterglow of the setting sun was irradiated on it, reflecting a blinding light, Peng Fei, who was not the slightest bit prepared, was flashed full of small gold stars.

“Gold …… Gold City!”

Zhuang Rui’s expression was a bit dumbfounded, although he had already used his aura to survey the situation in the castle, he still couldn’t believe in his heart that such a great building would exist within this forest hinterland.

In terms of scale, this castle covers an area of less than one hectare, and its height is only three stories at most, which is nothing compared to the ancient castles in the west, but the gold that adorns the inside and outside of …… this castle gives the castle a completely different meaning.

Even if those decorated in the walls of the gold is just a thin layer, even if the silver jewelry within the castle is much higher than the gold jewelry, but can not afford to castle it big ah!

Zhuang Rui believes that if all these gold are collected together, its total amount is much higher than the Genghis Khan Mausoleum within the gold house, so Zhuang Rui called the gold city is never too much.

The light that appeared just now flickered, Peng Fei hadn’t had time to recognize the color of the light, it was covered by the vines, and now after hearing Zhuang Rui’s words, he also couldn’t help but stare straight in the eyes, and muttered under his breath, “Yellow …… Gold City? Brother Zhuang, just now that was golden light?”

“That’s right, it’s the reflection of gold, oh my god! How is this …… this possible!”

Zhuang Rui realized his own outburst, and quickly said, “Go, don’t stand there, go in and take a look ……”

“Ow uh ……”

While Zhuang Rui and Peng Fei were exchanging words, King Kong had already run to the bottom of the castle, and after seeing many of his men burrowing into these vines, King Kong hissed loudly.

Along with the roar of King Kong, a gorilla lifted off the vines to penetrate the head, which let Zhuang Rui and Peng Fei see more and more clearly, the wall that flashes with a golden light, is definitely a gold base undoubtedly.

“What kind of location is this …… in the end?”

Zhuang Rui moaned meaninglessly under his breath, he thought about the world’s archaeological history, and there was no record about the Central African forest harboring a gold city, in Africa, in addition to Solomon’s treasure, it seems that there is no more place to attract adventurers.

“Could it be that the Golden City of the Amazon, was built in imitation of this Golden City?”

Suddenly, this idea popped up in Zhuang Rui’s mind, and once this idea was born, he could no longer drive it out of his mind.

In the world’s top ten treasures, the city of gold can be said to be famous, but that tells of the Inca Kingdom of South America in the Middle Ages.

In the ancient Peru region of South America, there is a very strong Inca Empire, legend has it that all the palaces and temples in the Inca Empire’s capital city, are decorated with a large amount of gold and silver, brilliant and splendid.

In the early 16th century, the Spaniards overthrew the Inca Empire and plundered all the gold and precious stones.

The Spanish commander-in-chief at the time Pizarro, heard that the Inca Empire’s gold, all from a chief called Patti ruled the country of Manoa transported, and there gold and silver treasures piled up, Pizarro immediately organized an expedition to the city of gold located in the depths of the dense forests of the Amazon.

However, in this vast expanse of primeval forest, every step forward means fear and death, where there are beasts and vipers, savage cannibal tribes, there are lost and threatened to lose the road, a team of explorers or disappointment, or the whereabouts of the unknown, so that the Pizarro look at this forest only to imagine self-consolation.

Subsequently, the Spaniards, the Portuguese, the British, the Dutch and the Germans heard the news of the City of Gold, who all want to grab a thousand dollars, so flocked to the Amazon forest deep.

Among them, a Spaniard named Quezada, led about 716 explorers to the city of gold.

After paying a heavy price of 550 lives, they finally discovered the City of Gold and the legendary Golden Lake in the Condinamarga jungle, and found emerald gems worth 3 million dollars, which were only a tiny part of the City of Gold’s incalculable treasures.

The so-called Golden Lake refers to the site of the traditional coronation ceremonies of the ancient Inca emperors.

According to the nephew of the last king of the Indians in the 17th century, the heir to the throne at that time was coated in gold dust, as if molded in gold, and then washed off the gold dust by taking a dip in the lake.

Then his subjects have offered gold, emerald, piled up at his feet, the new king will be all the gold thrown into the lake, as a dedication to God, in the ancient Inca empire, this traditional ceremony was held countless times, see the gold lake’s reserves of the temptation of the people.

From the 16th century, people on the Golden Lake has not stopped salvage, the early last century, a British company dug a tunnel, the lake is drained, but the sun quickly to the thick mud into a dry, hard mud board, when the British and then from the United Kingdom to bring the drilling equipment, the lake is again full of lake water, this time the cost of the salvage of the cost of the failure.

In 1974, the Colombian government is worried about the lake treasure into the hands of others, the army to protect the golden lake, from then on no one can approach the treasure, so, the mysterious golden lake will become a can not unravel the bottom of the mystery.

“Could it be that this is the legendary Golden Lake?”

After this allusion flashed through Zhuang Rui’s mind, he violently turned back to look towards the hazy lake.

Although this allusion was about a story that happened in the middle of the Amazon jungle in South America, the situation in front of him was so similar that Zhuang Rui had no way of not connecting it.

“Brother Zhuang, there …… are a lot of bones here!”

Just as Zhuang Rui was speculating about the origins of this lake and the Golden City, Peng Fei’s voice suddenly came from his ears.

“What’s going on?”

Zhuang Rui followed the voice and saw that Peng Fei had already turned on the strong light and was frowning as he squatted underneath the green vines, and quickly walked over.

“Shit, what’s going on?”

When Zhuang Rui walked to Peng Fei’s side, he also couldn’t help but be shocked by the white bones on the ground, there were dozens of these corpses and bones, the bones of each of them were complete, but the bones were a bit blackened as if they had been corroded by some substance.

“These should be human bones.”

Zhuang Rui’s archaeology doctorate was not for nothing, and he knew a little bit about human deconstruction, these skulls consisted of frontal, temporal, parietal, occipital, pterygoid, and sieve bones, showing typical human characteristics.

“How did they die, huh? It’s as if they were corroded by strong acid, Brother Zhuang, there’s something odd about this place.” Peng Fei’s brows were tightly furrowed into a Chuan character, ever since he came to this area, he had a bit of a frightening feeling.

“Can you kid say something nice! This place is inhabited by gorillas, where could there be anything odd?”

At this time, the sun had completely set from one end of the forest, and the entire forest was shrouded in darkness, except for where the lights were around Zhuang Rui and Peng Fei, everywhere else was pitch black.

What were the identities of these people? Why did they come here? And why did they die here? And none of them had the presence of clothing rotting around them, where did the clothes they were wearing go? All of this was unknown.

The unknown is always the greatest enemy within humans, the sudden discovery of many human corpses and bones in the depths of this forest is a bit bizarre in itself, and coupled with Peng Fei’s words, it caused a chill to arise in Zhuang Rui’s heart as well.

“Damn, I always feel something is wrong.” As Peng Fei spoke, he took the submachine gun on his back in his hand while taking out four glow sticks from his backpack.

After flinging them around in his hands, Peng Fei threw the glow sticks out in four directions, and these military-specific glow sticks instantly made the dozens of meters around the duo become bright with light.
