After three hours of calculations, I finally determined the location of the treasure. 0
 
It turned out that the treasure left behind by Kozlov was hidden within Helan Mountain. 0
 
The next morning, we drove to Helan Mountain. 0
 
After two days of enduring the elements, we finally arrived at our destination. 0
 
Before us lay a range of mountains, rolling and shrouded in mist. 0
 
At the foot of the mountain was a dense expanse of vegetation. 0
 
This area was extremely remote, situated in a corner of Helan Mountain, so it had hardly been visited by anyone. 0
 
According to the map, the Cultural Relics were hidden inside a natural cave halfway up the mountain. 0
 
We spent half a day searching on the mountain and finally discovered an entrance to a cave covered by foliage at mid-slope. 0
 
After clearing away the vegetation around the entrance with a sickle, we finally saw the true cave. 0
 
Uncertain about any dangers inside, we first lowered a rabbit into the cave using a rope. 0
 
We waited for twenty minutes before pulling it back out. 0
 
Seeing that the rabbit showed no signs of distress, we felt reassured and stepped into the cave. 0
 
The cave was not large, measuring about thirty to forty square meters. 0
 
Inside, there were rows of large boxes stacked up. 0
 
These boxes were tightly wrapped in oilcloth, seemingly to protect the Cultural Relics inside. 0
 
What was contained within those boxes left me astounded! 0
 
Inside, there were books, scrolls, ceramics, iron tools, textiles, sculptures, paintings, and more... 0
 
 
Although those items may not be considered rare treasures, they hold immense significance for the study of the Western Xia Dynasty and its surrounding history. 0
 
Just the boxes of books and scrolls alone would drive countless historians wild! 0
 
Not to mention the many precious cultural relics! 0
 
Brother Ma rubbed his hands excitedly and exclaimed, "Haha, this time we've really struck it rich!" 0
 
sister Yang laughed along, "Yes, at last, we didn’t come here for nothing!" 0
 
Ni Liping frowned slightly, "Are you really planning to sell these things?" 0
 
Brother Ma replied coldly, "Of course we're selling them!" 0
 
Ni Liping sighed, "Well then, it's your decision. I have no right to interfere." 0
 
With that, she began to wander around the cave. 0
 
It was then that I noticed there were actually a dozen or so skeletons inside the cave. 0
 
Some of the skeletons were in a shattered state, while others had rusted bullet fragments embedded in them. 0
 
It seemed these individuals had experienced a fierce battle in their lifetimes. 0
 
For some reason, seeing these skeletons gave me an inexplicable sense of familiarity. 0
 
I just couldn’t recall where I had seen something like this before. 0
 
sister Yang, Brother Ma, Ni Liping, and Gangzi all looked at the skeletons with blank expressions. 0
 
It was as if they had known these things were here all along. 0
 
A sudden shock ran through my mind! 0
 
 
It seemed that these four individuals were not just ordinary adventurers after all. 0
 
They were searching around the cave, as if looking for something important. 0
 
At that moment, I noticed that at the very back of the cave, there were actually a dozen neatly arranged large boxes. 0
 
The boxes were sealed with tape, as if they had not been touched for a long time. 0
 
Ni Liping curiously asked, "What’s inside these boxes?" 0
 
Brother Ma shook his head. "I’m not sure." 0
 
Ni Liping pressed on, "Then why are they sealed?" 0
 
Brother Ma replied coldly, "It's the rule." 0
 
Ni Liping pouted. "That's really strange." 0
 
With that, she turned and walked away. 0
 
A slight tremor ran through me! 0
 
It seemed she still didn't realize that these people were Tomb Raiders! 0
