The Dalong villagers who had been chasing after Luo Feng were also visibly excited.
“I should have thought of it earlier – the ‘stone cliff rapids’ referred not to a rock, but a mountain peak!”
“Is the treasure on the peak of the mountain or at the foot of the mountain?”
“Definitely at the foot, how could the rebel king possibly bury something so high up?”
“Hahaha! The host was trying to withhold this information, but now that I see that mountain peak, I’ve already grasped the meaning behind the mantra’s riddle!”
“The clue isn’t that difficult after all!”
Having rested sufficiently, Luo Feng looked up and spotted the first wave of treasure hunters arriving, there were dozens of them.
As someone spotted Luo Feng, they asked, “Old Luo, have you discovered the location of the third treasure site?”
“Is it via the ‘stone cliff rapids’ verse?”
“If I’m not mistaken, the treasure is at the foot of the mountain, right?”
“Although the area is vast, if we scan it inch by inch with metal detectors, we’ll find it soon enough!”
“Thanks, Old Luo! Once we make money, I’ll treat you to ten models, the ten-thousand-dollar kind!”
The group exchanged ideas and all looked at the mountain peak, thinking that they had understood the meaning behind the mantra’s “stone cliff rapids” verse. They were all misled into thinking that the treasure was buried beneath the mountain peak.
“Damn it, host, do something! People have already figured out the location of the treasure!”
“We’re finished, those b*stards have already caught up, and the host is still doing nothing!”
“I came here from Weibo, where’s the treasure of Li Zicheng you promised? Why haven’t you started digging yet?”
Luo Feng remained still.
The anxious audience members looked at the treasure-hunting team comprised of the Dalong villagers, and he smiled, “That’s right, the third treasure site’s location is hinted by the ‘stone cliff rapids’ verse!”
“People have already started digging, and you’re still taking your time to explain it to us? Hurry up and start digging!”
“Looking at Old Luo’s expression, I feel like there’s something fishy going on!”
Luo Feng said, “The ‘stone cliff rapids’ might not necessarily refer to rocks; it could also be a mountain peak. The cliff in front of us fits the description quite well!”
“But how do you explain the ‘rapids’?”
Luo Feng replied, “From my understanding, it refers to a cave! So, it’s a mountain cave! Of course, since it’s hidden in a cave, one must consider the risk of the treasure being discovered and damaged by wild animals, so it cannot be placed too low!”
“Wait… Does it mean that the cave is up there at the peak?”
“The mountain is so high up, it’s hard to see clearly!”
Luo Feng said, “No worries, I will use a drone to film it, and you’ll be able to see the cave up there! If you’re here in person and have good eyesight, you could see it too.”
Luo Feng calmly analyzed the situation and then maneuvered a drone in mid-air.
“There’s a cave, I can finally see it!”
“Amazing, Old Luo!”
“I can see it too!”
Soon, Luo Feng saw the cave via his drone’s footage. From a distance, it appeared to be a small cave to the naked eye, but the drone revealed that it was actually a cave two meters wide. However, this cave was located at the very tip of the mountain peak, more than 250 meters above the ground, which was rather high.
“Wow, it’s really on the mountain!”
“But how will Old Luo get up such a high peak?”
“Just rent a helicopter! I’m pretty sure Old Luo can afford that?”
“The treasure site has been found, but the location is rather awkward, right on the cliff of the mountain peak!”
Luo Feng glanced at the foot of the mountain, where the self-proclaimed clever treasure hunters were still searching with their metal detectors, their faces full of excitement.
Unfortunately for them, they probably had not anticipated that the treasure would be at the very tip of the mountain peak instead of its base.
They might not have expected that people from ancient times could hide something so high up.
Had Luo Feng not possessed the system, he likely would have reached the same conclusion as well.
Of course, some of Luo Feng’s tailers had money to spare, after watching Luo Feng’s livestream, they straight away contacted an aviation company to bring in a helicopter.
However, it did not matter.
It would take time for the helicopter to arrive, which was about an hour, and Luo Feng knew this.
“Damn it! People are renting helicopters after watching Luo Feng’s explanation! Hurry up, host!”
“Yeah, or someone else will get there first!”
“The host is so foolish! Why would you reveal the treasure’s location in the livestream?”
“Exactly! I would have rented a helicopter first.”
Luo Feng chuckled, “It’s just a 200-meter-high cliff, right? There’s no need to rent a helicopter, it’s a waste of money. We can just climb up there!”
“What? Waste money? Climb up?”
“Host, surely you’re not joking, right? How do you plan to climb up there?”
“What kind of nonsense is this? With such a vertical, 90-degree peak, you’d need to be a master free-climber!”
“Remember in ‘Ghost Blows Out the Light’, where Old Hu and his team were skilled free-climbers? What school are you from, host? Are you able to free-climb?”
As Luo Feng spoke, he reached the base of the cliff directly below the cave. He noticed that many treasure hunters had stopped digging at the foot of the mountain because they had watched his livestream and had learned that the treasures were in a cave high up on the cliff.
However, they could only watch helplessly…
As without a helicopter or the ability to climb, they were stuck.
...
“I won’t bring any other tools, just a hoe will do!”
Luo Feng looked at the top of the mountain and laughed.
“What? You’re bringing a hoe up there?”
“Is it for digging into the mountain? Are you going to use the hoe to pull yourself up?”
“But there are rocks in some places. How do you plan to dig the pickaxe in?”
“Aren’t you afraid that you won’t dig deep enough and slip when you try to pull yourself up?”
“You’re crazy dude! I think free-climbing is better. At least with no tools in your hands, it’s much simpler!”
Luo Feng paid no attention to the others.
He directly picked up the hoe and dug it into the mountain about 3 meters above his head.
