Chapter 141: Chapter 140: As Expected, Just Like What Was Guessed!

"Anderson and his team found a clue that led to an abandoned Indian village. They dug all night and found nothing but some broken household items."

Martin’s voice was a bit gleeful:

"Didn’t they split into two groups? The group I followed also found a clue, but it only led them to an abandoned stable. They dug up a big box of rusty horseshoes and a few copper coins, which made them furious... "

Sean Knight laughed after hearing this.

"How’s it going on your end? If it’s not looking good, you should also keep moving inward. Don’t stay in that place. Move forward as soon as possible, explore the unknown areas, and maybe you’ll find something valuable.

Think about it, Mr. Brown is at the base enjoying top steaks and red wine, but he’s not generous to you treasure hunters. If you don’t find anything, he won’t hesitate to send you away.

That’s what he did the last time we finished an excavation without any gains. At that time, he said he would give 10,000 US dollars as solatium for each person who didn’t find anything. In the end, each team only received 10,000 US dollars..."

Martin sincerely urged Sean Knight, who then said:

"I’ve found a little clue here, and I think I can keep working on it. If I still have no gains before noon, I’ll move on."

Martin was quite happy that Sean Knight seemed to have listened to his advice.

After hanging up the phone, Sean Knight thought for a moment and went near the hole where the potential stolen treasure was found. He dug several half-meter deep holes and left them there.

Then he started digging on top of the treasure, stopping when he was about half a meter away from it.

After climbing back to the ground, Sean took a break and called Brown.

"Mr. Brown, I think I’ve found the treasure... "

"Really? Have you dug up gold?" Brown asked in surprise, a little confused.

Meanwhile, with a wave of his hand, he asked a subordinate to bring over a pad. Through satellite connection, he could see Sean’s approximate location.

"Not yet, but I believe I’m close." Sean replied.

Brown couldn’t help but feel deflated. However, since Sean had mentioned it, there must be evidence, so he asked:

"What important clues do you have?"

"I’ve dug dozens of holes in this area, and the soil in this one seems to be a little different from the others nearby. Also, you know, in our China, there is a mysterious thing called fengshui, and I know a little about it..."

"FENGSHUI?" Brown repeated the pronunciation in an attempt to learn it.

"Yes." Sean emphasized: "It’s very mysterious and effective..."

"Alright, alright." Brown became completely deflated. "Call me back when you finally find something."

He hung up the phone, glanced at Sean’s location on the pad, and saw that it was not very different from where he had been yesterday.

Could he have really found something?

Brown shook his head.

How could it be possible? That place had already been searched.

Unless he encountered an extraordinary stroke of luck!

Sean was waiting for that exact reaction from Brown. He dug downward until he reached the treasure.

Seeing the gold and silver ware that seemed to be stained with blood, Sean felt pity rather than excitement, pity for those who had been killed!

He expanded the downward hole to reveal more gold and silver ware, then took out about one-tenth of it and placed it into the spatial realm. Afterward, he restored all traces.

He had basically determined that Brown, a stingy man, would be unlikely to give him a 30% share after finding the treasure.

So he took a 10% share first.

Even if Brown gave him a 20% share, it would still be in accordance with the agreement.

Sean had no intention of hogging everything. What if he had guessed wrong? Besides, Brown provided the location in the first place, so it was only right to honor their deal.

After restoring the traces, Sean practiced his surprised expression a few times in an open space.

Then he called Brown again.

"Mr. Brown, I found the treasure! Really, it’s a treasure! Goldware, silverware, so much!"

Sean Knight felt that his surprised tone was fairly genuine.

Upon hearing this, Brown was greatly surprised:

"Really? You saw the gold and silver? Where exactly? How much? Did you touch it? Let me tell you, it’s in the contract, you mustn’t touch it! I’ll send people there right away!"

Sean looked at the disconnected phone call and became more confident in his guess.

This Brown, now he must be thinking about rushing over as soon as possible, afraid of Sean taking away these gold and silver ware, right?

Sean finally didn’t move, he leaned on his backpack, drank some water, ate some food, and then rested.

Half an hour later, Brown called again:

"Sean, we’re already on our way. Are you still by the treasure pit?"

"Yes."

"Then you leave this place, go check out other places, there may be other treasures. You’re such a lucky boy, we owe it all to you this time! I sincerely thank you for helping me find our Brown family’s treasure! You’re my hero!

Alright, we’ve talked enough, head off to the other locations, there may be more discoveries..."

After hanging up the phone, Sean quickly understood Brown’s intention.

The locator could let Brown know his position.

Brown was afraid that Sean would stay by the treasure pit and steal the treasure, so he wanted to divert him!

Heh heh!

Sean didn’t linger, stood up and took his shovel and phone and left the original spot.

He circled around nearby, found that the traces seemed quite genuine, and couldn’t detect the other two treasure pits, so Sean reassured himself and headed towards Swan Lake.

Halfway there, Brown called once again:

"Sean, I see you’re heading for that small lake, did you find something there?"

"No, I’m just a little tired and wanted to go to the lakeside to enjoy the scenery."

"Good good good, it’s a great idea. You go ahead, I think the scenery there is alright too, we’ll be quick, and I’ll call you when we get there.

From now on, don’t make any other phone calls, always be ready for my summons."

After hanging up the phone, Sean thought Brown was really cautious!

He reached the lakeside and found that there were quite a few small animals drinking water.

Sean’s arrival scared off two deer and a few birds, but he didn’t mind, and just continued looking around the lakeside.

Sean wondered, since the map marked Swan Lake, might there be some secret hidden within the lake?

He circled the lake, keeping his Sky Eye open, and indeed discovered quite a few things.

There were at least three sunken ships in the lake, all of which were in the dugout canoe pattern.

However, the trees in the original forest were very large, so even the dugout canoes could sit dozens of people without feeling cramped.

The dugout canoes had sunk several meters into the silt, making excavation difficult.

Although the lake was small, the silt was deep enough that even ten meters underwater there was still silt, indicating that the original size of the lake was much larger than imagined.

Looking back at the trees nearby, Sean realized that the lake’s initial surface area was perhaps more than ten times its current size!

There were also a few spring mouths in the lake, but it was unclear whether they were blocked or the water level had changed, as they were now slowly seeping water out.

At a relatively flat lakeside spot, Sean finally discovered the occasional flashes of gold in the lake!

Only it was too deep, and Sky Eye’s range was limited, so Sean couldn’t be sure exactly what was inside or how much there was.

After thinking for a moment, Sean took out his phone and dialed Martin’s number.
