Chapter 114 Treasure Hunt
After spending a day and a night in the shelter, Mo Ming couldn't wait to check the weather early the next morning. The wind was at level 18, which was finally within the expected range.
After packing his things, Mo Ming called Xiao Jin over.
Good heavens, Xiao Jin landed like an airplane landing, the huge gust of air almost knocked Mo Ming over.
"Big Bear!"
Mo Ming called Xiong Da over, intending to take it with him.
The treasure hunting grounds are located in the wilderness, mostly with many huge rocks, and you may need to do things like digging pits and tunnels.
These tasks are easy to handle for Xiong Da. This operation shouldn't be too conspicuous, so Xiong Er can stay at the shelter and help Shang guard the house.
Xiong Da transformed back into a little bear and was bound to Xiao Jin's back by Mo Ming.
Then Mo Ming tied himself to the saddle strap, and the treasure-hunting team was officially formed.
"Xiao Jin, let's go!"
With Mo Ming's command, Xiao Jin slowly rose into the air and headed towards the location indicated by the treasure map, following Mo Ming's instructions.
The treasure is located about 110 kilometers east of the Momin Refuge.
However, Mo Ming instructed Xiao Jin to first head north of the shelter, and then head east after traveling a distance.
There was only one objective: to bypass the great lake.
……
"Xiao Jin, slow down a bit! This wind is too strong!"
High in the sky, Mo Ming and Xiong Da, one human and one bear, were blown numb by the wind. It was only because the saddle belt was of good quality that they were blown away, otherwise they would have been blown tens of thousands of miles away long ago.
There was no other way but for Xiao Jin to slow down.
After more than an hour of high-altitude flight, Mo Ming and his group finally arrived in the airspace near their destination.
After landing, Mo Ming and Xiong Da, one human and one bear, swayed and dazed, and it took them a while to recover.
"This is way more exciting than flying!"
Mo Ming took out the treasure map, and his current coordinates were already near the treasure's marker.
The wind had subsided considerably by now, and one wouldn't be blown over on land.
Mo Ming had Xiao Jin circle around the area while he led Xiong Da to search for the entrance to the treasure's location.
There is only a sparse poplar grove nearby, and a quiet path runs through the middle of the grove.
Finding nothing unusual in the surroundings, Mo Ming decided to take Xiong Da across the woods to check things out on the other side.
According to the area map, this area has already been explored, so Mo Ming roughly knows that there is a rocky mountain behind the forest.
Having watched so many movies and TV shows, he actually gained some insights and felt that the treasure was most likely on the rocky mountain.
However, it is worth noting that there is another survivor's shelter about 30 kilometers to the east, so Mo Ming is very careful.
The forest was only a little over 100 meters long, and Mo Ming didn't linger there for long before quickly passing through it.
What comes into view is a towering stone mountain, like a silent giant, quietly guarding this land.
The mountain is composed of rugged rocks, its surface covered with traces of time, the mottled textures shimmering faintly in the sunlight.
The mountaintop was shrouded in clouds and mist, resembling a white crown on a giant's head, mysterious and noble.
At the foot of the mountain, weeds grew rampant, and a few tenacious little flowers bloomed in the cracks of the rocks, adding a touch of life to this gray world.
Occasionally, a gentle breeze will sweep by, bringing a refreshing scent, as if whispering the story of the mountains.
In the distance, a stream flowed gently, its crystal-clear water reflecting the mountain's image, as if engaging in a silent dialogue with the giant.
Nestled in the embrace of this rocky mountain, time seems to slow down and stretch out, making Mo Ming want to stop, listen to the whispers of nature, and feel the weight and tranquility emanating from the mountain.
Even Xiong Da was so excited that he couldn't take his eyes off it. This was an entire mountain made of rock!
If Xiong Da could cultivate here, with his talent for heavy rocks, given enough time, he could completely absorb all the power within the rocks of the entire mountain into his body. At that time, his strength would experience a qualitative leap.
The power would also reach an extremely terrifying level.
Suddenly, Mo Ming's heart began to race. The eagle's cry in his ears was like a sharp blade, shattering the surrounding tranquility. Little Gold was giving him a warning!
He quickly looked around but didn't see anyone else or any wild animals.
The surrounding trees swayed gently in the breeze, seemingly whispering secrets, yet he could no longer immerse himself in this tranquility.
Little Gold wouldn't make that sound for no reason; it must have discovered something!
Mo Ming's gaze locked onto the towering stone mountain ahead, and a strong impulse surged within him.
He felt that only by hiding in that mountain could he temporarily escape the potential threat.
Without a second thought, Mo Ming strode forward, with Xiong Da close behind. The fallen leaves beneath their feet rustled softly, as if cheering on his decision, but Mo Ming felt a sense of urgency.
Soon, Mo Ming and Xiong Da arrived halfway up the mountain. Panting, they hid behind a huge rock, which acted as a natural barrier, obscuring their figures.
The air around them was filled with the dry smell of stone and earth, and the occasional chirping of birds seemed to add a touch of life to their adventure.
Mo Ming took out the treasure map from his pocket and gently traced the lines on it with his fingers. As his gaze moved, his heart gradually quickened.
When he discovered that his mark almost perfectly matched the location on the treasure map, he was overjoyed. Little did he know that Xiao Jin's warning had inadvertently led him to the true location of the treasure.
"Big Bear, look!" Mo Ming whispered, pointing to the mark on the map, his eyes gleaming with excitement.
Xiong Da approached, seemingly understanding, his eyes brightening as if he grasped his master's feelings.
At this moment, they were only one step away from the treasure they had been longing for.
A strong intuition surged within Mo Ming; he was almost certain that part of this stone mountain was hollow, and the treasure was hidden within it.
He imagined that perhaps beneath these towering rocks lay a dark cave, containing countless treasures and ancient secrets.
That treasure may be a wealth forgotten by time, or a continuation of a legendary story, waiting for a destined person to unveil its mystery.
And I am that destined person.
"We need to be careful," Mo Ming said in a low voice to Xiong Da, his eyes gleaming with determination.
“This mountain is definitely not simple. The treasure is right here, but we must find the entrance.”
Understanding his master's intention, Xiong Da nodded.
Sometimes, animals play a much greater role than humans in finding the entrance to a space.
Because their sense of smell and perception of the wild environment are stronger than those of humans.
After saying that, they began to carefully observe the surrounding rocks, climbing up the mountainside as they looked, searching for any possible clues.
Every stone, every crevice, could be the key to the treasure.
Every meter or so he moved, Mo Ming would glance at the treasure map to make sure he wasn't too far from the treasure's location.
This allows us to determine the approximate location of the treasure.
Suddenly, Mo Ming heard Xiong Da's low growl. He immediately turned around and walked over. After following Xiong Da's gaze, Mo Ming's eyes were filled with wild joy.
"This is......"
