Chapter 1127: Chapter 588 Is This "Borrowing a Knife to Kill" Tactic Still Effective?_3

"Alright, now let’s bury the soil back, at least cover that spike at the bottom." Sean Knight said from above with a smile, "We’ve had a good harvest these past two days, when we get back, each person will get a 10,000-dollar bonus."

"Thank you, boss!"

"The boss is so generous!"

They had long known that Sean Knight was a generous boss, having already felt it in terms of wages. Now, having dug up these items, to be honest, these team members had only exerted themselves a bit and they were going to earn an income of 10,000 US dollars—who wouldn’t be happy?

The team members energetically filled in the pit with soil, while Sean Knight and Elijah Hastings began to pack up the items.

"Boss, we need to make a trip back," Elijah Hastings said, looking at all the items. "We can’t fit anymore."

Sean Knight nodded, indeed they could not fit anymore.

As he sorted things out, he said:

"Okay, we’ll go back for a trip, take some items back with us, and then come back. After all, there isn’t much going on at the farmhouse right now, so we can consider this a break."

Once the plan was set, Sean Knight and the others finished packing the sacrificial implements, and then helped to fill in the pit.

Because of the loose soil, even though the sacrificial implements were dug out, the refilled soil still rose above surface level.

One team member stomped on it a few times, then said with a smile:

"There shouldn’t be a problem now—those people from that era were really cunning..."

"It’s not cunning, it’s clever," Sean Knight said. "We are actually outsiders here to steal their things, so it’s quite normal for them to take precautions. Luckily, the descendants of those people are gone now, so what we took is ownerless."

Next, they helped Leng Ru Bing dig out the bronze shelf, only to find that parts of it had almost rusted through.

A few team members looked disdainful—after all, they had just dealt with over a hundred treasures, so this hunk of rust wasn’t much to look at.

Leng Ru Bing had the same expression. After all, it was what she dug up, and it was not really presentable.

Sean Knight saw this reaction and said with a smile:

"You think this piece of bronze ware doesn’t look impressive now? Actually, in that era, this thing was the most valuable..."

When he said this, everyone naturally didn’t understand.

"Don’t understand?" Sean Knight asked.

"Yes. In any era, gold has always been more valuable than copper, right?" One team member raised a question.

"But it’s different here," Sean Knight pointed to the platform the team members had dug out and explained, "See that? That’s a sacrificial high terrace. The only sacrificial implement is placed on the high terrace—of course, there might have been other items on that shelf that have been taken away.

Look again, where are the gold and jade items placed?"

"In the sacrificial pit," the team members replied offhandedly.

"There you have it. Bronze ware on the high terrace, gold in the pit, which is more valuable?"

"Uh—" The team member had nothing to say.

"Of course, one reason why bronze is more valuable than gold here might be because there are no suitable copper or iron mines nearby. On the other hand, gold and jade mines are relatively easier to find," Sean Knight continued:

"That’s quite normal too. Didn’t you notice that even in this sacrificial pit, there are only a few pieces of bronze ware? Compared to items from the same period in our country, the difference is huge."

"Alright," Sean Knight said, "we had a good haul today, let’s rest. Tomorrow morning we head back to the courtyard, then take a day off and come back."

The team members were puzzled at first, but then seeing the big bags of loot, they quickly caught on.

No one expected to gather so much in just two days. If this keeps up, wouldn’t we need to drive over to haul it?

However, when they heard they were going to rest for a day back home, the team members were quite happy, and Leng Ru Bing was even more pleased.

Although she knew that coming here would definitely be tough, after resting on the grassland for a day, she really felt uncomfortable—the bugs were bad enough, not to mention many of them were poisonous!

Throughout the night, if not for the medication Sean Knight and the others had prepared early on, she might have turned into a ’pig-head’ by now!

Even so, when she woke up in the morning, there were several large bumps swollen on her body!

She had seen videos of things like horsefly larvae being taken from those swollen bumps!

She definitely did not want to suffer that kind of misfortune!

So, when Sean Knight mentioned going back, she naturally raised both hands in agreement!

The dug-up items were placed in a separate tent, and then everyone started to prepare.

Elijah Hastings took two team members to hunt again, and in forty minutes, they brought back a capybara.

The creature looked quite like a big rat, but its weight was almost that of a small pig, it had a somewhat long face, and its meat was said to be quite good.

They found an open area and lit a bonfire, where most of the capybara’s skeleton was roasted. One team member who had returned from the army and had worked in the Dining Hall volunteered to braise it, and Sean Knight let him do it.

Leng Ru Bing and another team member also picked plenty of Brazilian berries and passion fruit, as there was no lack of wild fruits in the jungle.

Dinner was sumptuous, and everyone enjoyed the meal. Leng Ru Bing also received a 10,000-dollar bonus, which gave her a special sense of satisfaction.

As they had to travel early the next morning, after dinner and a thorough clean-up, except for the night personnel, everyone else went to bed early.

Around midnight, sudden growls of wild beasts could be heard nearby, and the sounds were successive!

Sean Knight, Elijah Hastings, and several team members immediately got up!

Could there be trouble on this last night before leaving?

Several people loaded their guns with bullets, and coming out of the tents, the night watchman said in a low voice:

"It should be less than a hundred meters from here. Just now, several shadows flashed by and then ran off into the distance."

"In the Brazilian jungle, there are large carnivores like the American lion and jaguar..." Elijah Hastings mentioned.

"Is there a tiger?" One team member exclaimed.

"Their jaguars and American lions are actually the same thing," Sean Knight clarified, "But they’re both quite fierce—not quite like the Siberian Tiger."

"Here it comes!" Elijah Hastings suddenly spoke!
