Chen Wen heard Yang Feng crawl out of his sleeping bag, and he opened his eyes as well.
Faced with the glaring light, Chen Wen raised his hand to shield his eyes and squinted tightly: "What’s wrong? What happened? Is it ti to cook?"
The rcenary watched for a while but found nothing unusual.
He asked, "Did you guys hear anything just now?"
The four of them were puzzled and confused upon hearing it.
Finally, Hank said, "It seed like soone howled?"
Chen Wen imdiately echoed, "Right, it sounded like soone shouted."
"Could it have been a fart sound?"
Yang Feng said with a bitter face, seemingly still slling the foul air.
A fart sound?
The rcenaries smacked their lips upon hearing that.
It really might have been!
"Forget it, whatever that sound was, you’d better be careful and avoid any unnecessary actions or thoughts."
Upon hearing this, the four nodded obediently.
They didn’t want any trouble either.
After warning the four, the rcenary checked once more.
Once he confird there was nothing unusual, he muttered to himself and walked back.
After the rcenary left, Chen Wen exchanged glances with his unfortunate companions in the cell.
They were puzzled too.
"Did any of you do it?"
Ludwig asked.
But no one responded to him.
Ludwig was a bit angry, but it was just anger.
Finding nothing, and with no one willing to speak up, they could only go back to sleep.
...
Chen Wen lay there for about half an hour.
As quietness returned around him and snoring began to resound, he finally pulled out the lynx.
The lynx looked at Chen Wen, heart in mouth.
It was very dangerous just now; the rcenary’s toe was less than two centiters away from the lynx’s head.
If he had walked a little further, he would have stepped on the lynx.
Moreover, his flashlight brushed past the lynx several tis.
"Lower your voice."
Chen Wen spoke as quietly as a mosquito, signaling the lynx to speak softly.
The lynx nodded and finally said, "Human, we’ve been looking for you!"
"Thank you for your hard work!"
Chen Wen, sowhat touched, patted the lynx’s head.
Seeing the lynx for the first ti, he had already guessed its intention.
The lynx enjoyed Chen Wen’s caress.
But after that, the lynx asked, "Human, shall we leave? They are waiting outside."
Chen Wen shook his head, "It’s hard to leave, I’m trapped inside here."
As he said this, Chen Wen pointed at the gate made of iron chains, "I can’t squeeze through."
Hearing this, the lynx looked worried.
Finally having found the human, it was unexpected that he was trapped.
Really...
"What about the female human?"
The lynx inquired.
Chen Wen pointed at the mine tunnel diagonally opposite, "Over there, but she’s not trapped, we’re all safe."
The lynx hesitated for a mont, hearing this, but didn’t go over.
Instead, it asked Chen Wen, "How can we get you out?"
Chen Wen thought for a mont and decided not to let the lynx and others take risks: "Forget it, for now, I’m safe. You shouldn’t rescue for the ti being; these people have dangerous weapons that can kill you."
"I’m planning to stay here for the next couple of days and leave once I’ve gathered enough information."
The lynx nodded.
But it still wanted to do sothing for Chen Wen.
Chen Wen rubbed the lynx’s head and thought, saying: "Have the Golden Eagle and Snowy Owl co. I do have so tasks for them, but as for you, just eat well, sleep well, and keep yourself safe."
After speaking, Chen Wen gently rubbed the lynx’s head.
The fact it had co despite the risk was already enough.
The lynx nodded, squeezed through the gap, and went to call the Golden Eagle and Snowy Owl.
When the two ca over, Chen Wen imdiately assigned them tasks.
"Golden Eagle, monitor outside, at that lake, and observe what the humans are doing. Rember to report back to every night."
"Snowy Owl, have you identified your enemy?"
The Snowy Owl nodded.
Since it arrived, it had recognized those who had hard it.
Yes, the rcenaries!
Suppressing its emotions, the Snowy Owl nodded: "Yes."
"Now is not the ti for revenge; these people are all ard with guns, the kind used to kill moose."
Chen Wen carefully chose his words, "You must ensure your own safety before considering revenge."
"However, regarding revenge, I have an idea."
The Snowy Owl tilted its head, looking into Chen Wen’s eyes.
Chen Wen sincerely said: "I know who their leader is. Follow him and watch his every move."
After a mont’s contemplation, the Snowy Owl nodded firmly: "Okay!"
Chen Wen imdiately described the features of the black leader to the Snowy Owl, instructing it to keep an eye on the rcenary leader.
After distributing the tasks, Chen Wen had the animals quietly leave, retracing their path.
anwhile, Chen Wen planned to stay hidden here, uncover the purpose of these people, and then decide on the next move.
...
Undercover Chen Wen is now online.
In the following three days, this temporary team was t with heavy snowfall.
The blizzard, as thick as goose feathers, ravaged the land.
The heavy snow brought everything to a standstill.
This situation was very uncomfortable for the rcenary team.
However, Chen Wen was pleased with it.
While the rcenaries were preoccupied with other matters, he had already learned a lot from Yang Feng, Hank, Ludwig, even the staff, and the rcenaries.
anwhile, Hua Yun spent this period chatting with Jenny, gathering plenty of information from her.
After exchanging simple information, Chen Wen and Hua Yun understood the full story.
To put it simply, it was about a treasure hunt.
More complicatedly, it was a treasure battle involving a group of seven, continuing down to their descendants.
Belmont and Pat, along with Ludwig, were direct descendants of the group of seven.
The developnt of things to this point was also simple.
Belmont and Pat were keeping a close eye on each other, neither daring to search extensively or seek the treasure.
After all, they couldn’t handle this treasure trove on their own.
However, during this stalemate, Belmont discovered a key clue—Ludwig.
He invited Ludwig and convinced him with interests, having him lead people to search for the treasure’s location.
He even promised Ludwig a share after everything was done.
But due to Pat’s involvent, Belmont dared not search extensively.
Hence, he ca up with a ridiculous idea of organizing a hiking survival competition in the Yukon midsection where the treasure was located.
Initially, things went relatively smoothly.
But the competition’s recruitnt notice was discovered by an interested party—Jenny.
Jenny knew one descendant of the group of seven and learned about the treasure from that person.
Upon seeing Belmont’s program, she guessed what was happening and used certain ans to connect with Pat, becoming his informant.
She then registered, passed the auditions, and eventually joined as Pat’s informant.
In order to gain more advantage in the treasure hunt, Pat spent money to hire so rcenaries to follow the program group, planning to act as a mantis who stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.
Although he was a governnt official, he didn’t have much manpower under him.
He could only hire a batch of rcenaries through relationships.
But he never expected that the international rcenaries he hired would turn greedy when they learned of the treasure, intending to take it and flee.
Thus, things reached the current situation.
The rcenaries turned traitors, trapping Pat and Belmont’s people here.
Regarding this, Chen Wen had only one comnt: Stupid politicians, unprofessional rcenaries, and his own misfortune.
"It’s ridiculous. This Pat is a pure idiot, actually spilling his secrets."
Sitting by the campfire, Chen Wen said to Hua Yun.
Hua Yun looked at the pot where the soup was bubbling, sighing as well.
It was her misfortune to get caught in such a ss.
"But to think the treasure was real, and I never imagined its value to be so high either."
The five hundred kilograms of refined gold alone aren’t even worth ntioning, and their value is exceptionally high.
Just one of those gold mines that caught the interest of the group of seven back then would be imnsely profitable!
"What, are you interested in the treasure?"
Hua Yun glanced at Chen Wen.
Chen Wen lay on his side, watching the golden eagle in the sky: "You’d be a fool not to want to make so money~"
