195 Astonishing! A Tiger-Headed Gilt Military Token! (2)
Seeing this, Luo Feng shook his head helplessly and said, “That’s right, this carcass isn’t for us to enjoy either. I cannot accept the gift from our leopard friend.”
“It’s such a pity that we cannot taste its meat. If we want to eat wild game, we have to go to our neighbor’s territory to catch wild boar and pheasants,” Zhang Shunyong lamented with a sigh. Everyone else said nothing, ate some food, and continued deeper into the mountain.
“Scan again,” Luo Feng instructed his system the moment he left the range of the previous scan.
They walked, occasionally stopping to dig, and gradually, Luo Feng heard the sound of flowing water. Before he could speak, Li Shishi asked, “Luo Feng, is there another stream nearby?”
“Yes, there must be. Let’s go and take a look!” Luo Feng nodded, taking the lead and following the sound of the water. As they drew closer, the sound of the water grew louder. However, something felt off. How could there be such a loud sound of water in the mountain, where there were only small streams? Not only was Luo Feng puzzled, but the other wealthy heirs also felt that something was amiss. Was it possible for a powerful river to appear this deep in the mountains? It did not seem scientific.
“It’s a waterfall! Old Luo, it’s a waterfall!” Zhang Shunyong, with his sharp eyes, stood on a large rock, pointing at the white curtain-like waterfall hanging on the cliff ahead.
“Oh? Really?” Luo Feng, being lower down, had not seen it. He quickly crossed a small grove of trees in front of him, and the full view of the waterfall appeared before his eyes.
The waterfall was not particularly large, but it was still a wonder this deep in the mountains. Due to the long-term impact of the water, a clear and transparent pool had formed beneath the waterfall, resembling a blue mirror in the mountain, which was quite refreshing.
“How beautiful! What a wonderful view!”
“Indeed! We’ve been treasure hunting for so many days, and this is the first time we’ve seen such beautiful scenery!”
“It’s a pity that treasures are usually found within the mountain’s barriers. Such a lovely place is unlikely to have any treasure!”
“But in novels, such places are where treasures are more likely to be found!”
“Novels are novels, the reality is completely different!”
Of course, the most peculiar aspect of the waterfall was that it had 3 tiers, with a total height of about 15 meters. The first tier was a little over 4 meters, the second tier was more than 5 meters, and the last tier was more than 6 meters.
“Wait a minute? Stone cliff rapids and the three bridges?”
Suddenly, Luo Feng recalled the mantra. At first glance, the three tiers of the waterfall looked like three bridges…
“If this is the place mentioned in the mnemonic, would the treasure be here?”
“Is it underwater?”
Luo Feng immediately looked at the pool. Although it was blue and crystal clear, it was impossible to see the bottom with the naked eye. It was probably about 6 or 7 meters deep, and if there was a treasure here, there was a high chance that it was hidden at the bottom of the pool.
“Give me a Level 1 scan!”
With an area this confined, Luo Feng need not waste a Level 2 or Level 3 scan.
He could just save up on his reputation points.
In the next moment, many scattered markers appeared beneath the soil surrounding the pool, and, as expected, a dense cluster of treasure markers appeared at the bottom of the pool.
The blue pool’s bottom was dotted with star-like dots, as if there were many gems shining beneath the water, dazzling Luo Feng’s eyes.
“Guys! According to the mantra, this place likely contains the treasures we’re looking for!” Luo Feng suddenly announced, causing a stir among the livestream viewers and the wealthy second generation heirs.
“Luo Feng, you’re saying there are treasures here?”
“Is it from the rebel king?”
Luo Feng nodded, “The mantra mentioned stone cliff rapids and three bridges, after all. Look at the three natural tiers formed by the waterfall.”
Upon hearing this, many of the wealthy second generation’s faces lit up in realization.
“Luo Feng, you’re right! It does look like three bridges!”
“Nature’s masterpiece!”
“I knew there had to be more to Old Li’s treasures hidden within Dalong Mountain. Turns out I was right!”
“Your guess is useless; it’s Luo Feng’s skill that led us here!”
“Treasures under the water, I’m so excited!”
Without wasting any time, Luo Feng began to dig around the pool. Most of the treasure markers were beneath the water, but there were still some scattered markers nearby.
[ Ding! A bronze plaque! ]
[ From the Ming Dynasty! ]
[ Valued at 9.8 million! ]
Sure enough, it was a bronze plaque, a good sign. It seemed they were in the right place. After quickly unearthing the plaque, Luo Feng saw the words “The Heavenly Jade Emperor’s Decree” engraved on it.
“No doubt about it, this is where the treasures are located at!”
“Amazing, Luo Feng! Old Li’s hiding spot couldn’t escape your eyes!”
“Three bridges, formed by the three-tiered waterfall?”
Luo Feng handed the bronze plaque to Brother An for safekeeping and continued to dig up items near the edge of the pool. They were mostly miscellaneous items: Ming dynasty iron chains, hoes, broken bowls, and copper coins. These were probably things that had been dropped by Li Zicheng’s men while they were burying the treasure in the water.
“You guys rest on the shore for a bit; I’m going to check the water!” Luo Feng said as he removed his clothes. Li Shishi bashfully covered her eyes, but realized Luo Feng had only taken off his upper garment. As she gazed at his toned physique, she couldn’t help but admit her desire for a man with such a model-like body. However, despite her persistent advances, Luo Feng had never shown any interest.
With a splash, Luo Feng, carrying his Swallowtail Hoe, plunged into the water. Despite the hot weather, the water in the mountain pool was bone-chillingly cold.
