Chapter 980: Chapter 539 The Hyena that Tracks the Lion!

Zack was quite familiar with the nearby terrain, and he drove Sean Knight and the others to several ancient places with ruins.

However, when Sean Knight saw these places, most of them had been turned over many times and the items worth money had long been taken away. Large sculptures and the like, if not destroyed, had been cut and transported away.

What remained here was completely the appearance of ruins, with no trace of its former history and glory.

Seeing these things, Zack took it for granted and said,

"When we were little, this place was actually already uninhabited. It’s just that there were still people maintaining it, like those from yesterday’s grain exchange.

But later on, war came, and the place was frequently bombed, and in the end, it became what it is now."

It was clear that Zack felt no sorrow for the destruction of this place.

Whether he was mainly focused on survival, or because from ancient times to the present, not just one dynasty, nor just one religion, had lingered or occupied this place.

The constant wars led the common people here to have a weak sense of belonging to many things from ancient times.

On the contrary, Sean Knight and Elijah Hastings felt a sense of regret when they saw these items—after all, this was history, and now it had come to this!

However, after a long walk in these ruins, they found nothing in the end.

As the sun was about to set, Zack was starting to get anxious. He said to Sean Knight,

"Mr. Knight, should we try another place? I know of another place with ruins, though it’s a bit smaller..."

"No need, let’s go back to the tribe," Sean Knight waved his hand, "Actually, not finding anything like today is the most normal. If treasure hunters found treasure as soon as they arrived at a place, that would be problematic.

A real Treasure Hunter might search a location for several months, even several years or decades, and still not necessarily find the real treasure."

Seeing Sean Knight maintain his equanimity, Zack was quite impressed—they had been searching for one day as merely bystanders and were already getting anxious, while Sean Knight and Elijah Hastings were not in a hurry at all and even comforted him, which seemed very professional.

Hearing Sean Knight say they were heading back, Zack felt a bit of regret; after all, if they had really found something, he could have boasted about it with everyone upon returning to the tribe.

However, since Sean Knight was a distinguished guest and he wanted to return, they would return. The pickup truck sped off, heading back to the tribe.

At this time, on the wasteland where Sean Knight and his team had previously stayed, two cars were slowly following the trail they had taken, searching bit by bit.

Wherever the pickup truck had stopped, the people in these two cars would immediately get out with metal detectors and start scanning.

They continued until they reached the spot where Sean Knight and his team had rested and eaten lunch.

After searching with metal detectors in this area and finding nothing,

someone followed the path where Sean Knight had gone off to urinate, smelled the scent of urine, showed a look of disdain, then retracted the detector and returned to the car to drive to another location.

After following all the places that Sean Knight and his team were planning to search and coming up empty-handed, all the people gathered around the cars.

One of them, speaking with awkward English, said,

"From what we see now, Sean Knight is indeed looking for a place or item, and I think it’s probably a treasure. Therefore, I suggest we keep following him."

"We can’t be sure," another person disagreed, "He already pointed out the tribe where Hassan is and found the Cave Storehouse that should have been ours and took the items inside.

So, I think he has gotten what he wanted. What he’s doing now is just trying his luck. We should be more focused on another place, and take it before Sean Knight and the native tribes discover it!"

"No, just the few of us trying to accomplish this will take a very long time. This is indigenous territory, and if we’re discovered, we’ll end up surrounded and killed by the tribe like the first group—I don’t want to end up working for someone else’s benefit!"

The opinions were divided into two camps, and in the end, those who insisted on following Sean Knight prevailed.

"We’ve studied this Sean Knight; whenever he makes a move, he rarely comes back empty-handed. This time finding the Cave Storehouse, in my view, is not his ultimate goal. He can’t have come here just for such a small item.

So the greatest likelihood is that he hasn’t found his target yet! As long as we follow him, when he finds his target, we can swoop in from behind, and then... Heh heh!"

Seeing that the person who had opposed him was not very enthusiastic, the man continued to say,

"Just think about it, this Sean Knight, in his later treasure hunts, there has never been one worth less than ten million dollars! So, if we succeed this time, consider how much each one of us could get!"

With that said, everyone in the team smiled happily at the thought.

When Sean Knight and his group arrived at the tribe, it was already dark.

Elder Hassan was in the courtyard by then. Seeing Sean Knight and his team return, he immediately called out,

"Mr. Knight, haven’t had dinner yet? Let’s have dinner first—"

Sean Knight said with a smile,

"Elder Hassan, you’ve also learned the custom from our China; the first thing you ask when meeting is whether someone has eaten."

Upon hearing Sean Knight say this, Hassan’s face turned solemn and he said,
