American Ranch

Chapter 455 The Green Pool

I hurried to the No. [-] treasure spot, and as expected, there were also traces of excavation here!

It seems that Qin Yi and the others are not the only smart people. After 200 years, among the previous owners of the broken parchment, there are still a few people. For some reason, they put into action the treasure hunt that everyone was looking forward to!

Everyone's worries became more and more serious, but there was still work to be done. As the only man in the group, and also played the role of son, husband, and father, Qin Yi deeply felt that the responsibility was heavy, so he did his part and started digging holes again!
At this time, the women couldn't wait any longer, and took Qin Yi's backpack, which contained two folding engineering shovels, one for Ke Luo and one for Amanda, and joined the digging team, which was more efficient!
Several people in Susa looked back and forth, hoping to get good news. Angel and Becky also held Qin's mother's hand and watched with their heads close together, muttering "Big villain, don't steal my treasure" in their small mouths, making their hearts go away. The women who are nervous about treasures also feel a little bit of relief!

In fact, they were also amused in their hearts: this time they came out to hunt for treasure, which was just for fun, but until now, they were a little worried about gains and losses, what a joke!
In fact, Qin Yi also had the same idea.

But he felt that this was normal. After all, he came all the way to hunt for treasure. Even if he didn't like the hundreds of thousands of dollars, he would inevitably feel regretful without this perfect result!
Without thinking too much, several potholes were quickly cleaned up. Just like the No. [-] treasure spot, there was no trace of a treasure chest being stored.

Oh God, at least we still have hope!
The women patted their chests and breathed a sigh of relief, and their tense faces also eased.

It's just that the two girls also imitated the appearance of adults, patted their chests and exhaled, looking nervous!
This made the expectant and nervous adults couldn't help laughing, one by one leaned forward and pinched the little girls' faces, causing them to pout their little mouths unhappily, but after a few compliments of "very cute, so beautiful", they let the girls They are very happy!

Just in case, Qin Yi dug several pits one by one deeper. Seeing that there were really no clues, he hurriedly packed up his tools. He didn't even bother to clean his muddy hands, so he took everyone to the southwest and went to The last treasure spot.

Speeding all the way, after passing through a [-]-meter-wide flat grassland, we entered the small forest again.

Compared with the woods in the east, this place is deeper and deeper. The southwest of Natland Island is mostly plains, but it is a coincidence that there are only two [-]-meter-high hills, one in the south and one in the north. A small valley tens of meters wide!
The existence of the two hills not only blocks the sunlight in the south, but also blocks the possible cold current in the north, while the small valley running east-west allows warm ocean currents to drive straight in. Therefore, the valley is darker and more humid, and the plants are lush and verdant.

Because of this, the traveling speed of the group was also affected!

Walking in the valley, the deep environment made the women feel a little apprehensive. They couldn't stop looking around, even Qin's mother did the same. She lived in the plains all year round, and she had never seen such an environment!

Unconsciously, everyone followed Qin Yi's footsteps.

At this time, Qin Yi was waving an outdoor knife, chopping the tangled vegetation, and his heroic figure made everyone feel a little relieved.

There were only two girls, looking left and right in their mother's arms. They were pure-hearted, and they were more curious at this time, but they were more leisurely than adults.

Fortunately, after ten minutes or so, everyone finally arrived at their destination. The girls turned their attention to the treasure, and their fear of the environment was greatly reduced.

Treasure Site No. [-], located in the valley, also conforms to the terrain described on the broken parchment, but there are some changes in the details: the previous configuration was a creek plus a depression, but here it is a creek plus a small pool.

That's right, at the foot of the mountain on the south side is a small stream with a width of only one meter. At the foot of the mountain on the north side, there is a square pool of more than ten meters wide. The bank is full of weeds and rocks, and the valley is not very transparent. The light, now covered by many trees, looks even more gloomy. Although the vegetation is verdant, there is an aura of ashes!

The most conspicuous one is a crooked-neck tree with dense branches and leaves covering one-third of the lake surface. Many branches even hang directly under the water, but after a bend, they drilled out from half a meter away. It's like growing out of the water!
Everyone looked at it, and walked forward slowly under the leadership of Qin Yi, and finally came to the middle of the creek and the pool. The distance between the two was less than ten meters. The old pine trees in the middle were everyone's goal.

The creek is ankle-deep, but the pool seems to be quite deep, and the emerald green water cannot be seen to the bottom. Susa and Ke Luo felt creepy after a few glances. Also a little timid!
"It doesn't seem right here, everyone be quiet, let's look for it quickly, and leave later!"

Qin Yi looked at the lake, then stared at the crooked neck tree for a few seconds, instructed softly, thought for a while, and added: "Mom, take the girls, Ke Luo and Amanda will help me dig, Susa, be careful, Take out the pistol in the backpack."

He really felt that the atmosphere was not right, but he couldn't tell what was wrong, so he had to ask everyone to be careful.

But as soon as the words came out, everyone was shocked. Although they were a little scared at this time, they only regarded it as the reason for the deep environment, but it was inevitable that Qin Yi asked everyone to be vigilant, and they thought too much about Qin Yi. Blind trust, thought he had discovered something!

Qin Yi took a few more glances at the emerald green lake and the crooked-neck tree. This strange feeling was always lingering, and even faintly, even he felt a little hairy!
It was the first time he felt such a faint sense of danger since he gained the space, physical strength and mental strength. He didn't know what measures to take. Just in case, he asked everyone to be careful. Seeing that everyone was scared at this moment, he felt a little sorry .

"Yi, why don't we leave and stop looking for treasures."

To be on the safe side, Susa began to retreat. After all, there are a group of women and children here. Although they have pistols, the ones who are really capable of fighting are Qin Yi. If something really happens, they may not be able to take care of everyone!

Ke Luo and the others obeyed Qin Yi's instructions and had already pulled out their pistols. They were looking nervously at this moment, while taking time to look at Qin Yi, wanting to know what he meant.

Hearing this, Qin Yi thought about it, and was afraid of any accidents. He was about to nod his head, but he heard Amanda say: "What are you afraid of! There is no danger, we have been here for a while, if there is any danger, it should have appeared long ago! Quickly dig Treasure, it seems that no one has been here before, maybe the treasure is here!"

After what she said, Susa and Ke Luo also felt that it made sense. They stood here talking for a while, but nothing happened. Maybe they were just scared by the environment.

Seeing their hesitation, Qin Yi knew that they were moved by Amanda. In fact, he didn't want to stay and dig treasures. It was just the faint sense of danger that made him feel this way for the first time, and he didn't know how to deal with it. .

"Father, let's dig for treasures! Go home and buy little rabbits." Angel, who was held by Qin's mother, said expectantly. Although she was a little scared, the temptation of treasures was greater. Allure!
Becky nodded her head, expressing her support for Miss Sister.

"Okay, let's dig the treasure!" Seeing the children looking forward to it, Qin Yi no longer hesitated, but he still asked again: "According to what I just said, be careful!"

Then take out the shovel in the backpack, and together with Khloe and Amanda, start digging.

Although the girls were looking forward to the treasure, they still would not ignore his instructions. While watching, they glanced around, especially the creepy green pool.
