Chapter 982: Chapter 539 The Hyena that Tracks the Lion!_3

Sean Knight looked around and then pointed to a place, saying,

"Let’s dig right here."

Zack just watched Sean Knight and Elijah Hastings as they started digging.

Not using any instruments, just picking a spot and starting like that?

Then he saw four people quickly digging out a hollow place.

The soil here was quite dry, mixed with a few stones, but not many.

Although the soil was rather dry and hard, the four men dug very quickly.

"Can anything be hidden underneath here?" Zack was puzzled, seeing that they dug down nearly one meter, and asked with doubt, "So deep..."

As he was speaking, he heard a "clang" as the short shovel in the hands of Douglas Cooper, who was at the bottom, struck something.

Then he saw Douglas Cooper and Ran Jie Qin Fei working together to unearth a stone jar.

This jar was almost half a meter tall, weighing several hundred kilograms; just the task of unearthing it took quite an effort.

At this point, Sean Knight instead stepped back to the side, yielding the place.

Elijah Hastings’s three-man team cooperated very well, and Sean’s joining in would only interfere with their performance.

When the stone jar was moved out and placed at the edge of the hole, Zack curiously asked,

"Let’s see quickly, what’s actually inside it?"

Elijah Hastings glanced at Sean Knight, who nodded, then Elijah used a short-handle shovel to start clearing the soil off the top of the stone jar.

The stone jar had no lid, or perhaps the lid had been gone since it was buried, and now the sand from outside had seeped into the jar, covering the contents inside.

"Clang!" The mouth of the jar was quite large, and the short-handle shovel could fit inside. After scooping out three or four shovelfuls of soil, they heard the sound of metal clashing.

What Elijah brought up in his shovel was no longer yellow sand, but copper coins covered in green rust!

"That’s quite a lot!"

"Come, flip the jar over and pour everything out," Sean Knight said.

Elijah and the others flipped the jar over and started scooping out its contents.

Inside, there weren’t only copper coins, but also many silver coins and golden coins.

Thanks to the dry soil, these coins were only slightly rusted and were actually well preserved!

Elijah was about to bend over to clear these items out when Sean Knight waved his hands and said,

"Put them in bags and take them with us. We’ll have the experts clean them when we get back to our home country. It’s not good to do it here."

Elijah went to the car to get bags, and several people began to pack up the coins.

Zack also helped to pack the coins, now admiring Sean Knight’s skills even more.

"Mr. Knight, how did you find these things?" Zack couldn’t help but ask.

"We Chinese people have a discipline called ’fengshui’, and that’s what I used to find them," Sean replied.

"Fengshui?" Zack repeated, somewhat puzzled.

Sean Knight just smiled and said no more.

They loaded all the coins into the car, and instead of searching for more ruins, they headed towards the tribe.

One hour later, the two cars that had followed Sean Knight’s tracks from last night arrived at the site.

Seeing the hole on the ground and the discarded stone jar, the expressions of these people varied.

"Indeed, he found the treasure!" One man looked into the jar and said as he inspected it, "This must have contained coins, golden coins!"

"Not necessarily, they could also be silver coins or copper coins," another person countered.

"No matter what, he actually found a treasure! I think we should attack that tribe tonight and snatch these items!"

"No, no, no, we need to be patient!" The person who had suggested tracking Sean Knight yesterday intervened, saying,

"This time is definitely not Sean Knight’s last treasure hunt! I believe he will have bigger moves! This is just an appetizer! We can’t spook him now!

As long as he doesn’t leave the tribe, he will definitely search for new treasures! This is just one jar, and even if it’s full of golden coins, they’re not worth much! We must look at the bigger picture!"

He successfully convinced the others. However, some were clearly dissatisfied and started to use a metal detector in the vicinity, eventually finding a few more metal response points.

After digging for a few hours, they found some copper and silver divine temple artifacts. Although a bit disappointed, it was a small consolation.

When Sean Knight and his team returned to the courtyard with so many coins, even Elder Hassan was surprised, and Clarence Hughes was amazed as well.

He hadn’t expected Sean Knight to actually find antique treasures.

Watching Sean Knight and the others clean the coins, Elder Hassan only said a couple of words before leaving.

Clarence Hughes, curious about the experience, began to reassess Sean Knight when he heard Zack praising Sean’s "fengshui."

Being Chinese, he obviously knew what fengshui was about.

However, was it really possible to find legendary treasures based on fengshui?

As a school principal, he was skeptical.

But Sean Knight offered no further explanation, calling Zena Fitzgerald and the others to help clean the loose rust and soil from the coins, which kept them quite busy.

Clarence Hughes merely watched for a while, then returned to the shooting range.

He knew that once he went back to China, he wouldn’t have this opportunity, so these days, he spent his time at the shooting range behind the village whenever possible.

The sky slowly darkened, and eventually, they had cleaned all the coins.

"Boss, a total of one thousand five hundred twenty-one copper coins, seven hundred sixty-nine silver coins, and four hundred thirteen golden coins," Lincoln Harrington reported with the final count.

"Nice, nice, each of you pick some, and the rest are mine. Of course, if you think they’re still not clean enough, we can clean them together when we get back and then you can pick," Sean suggested.

"We’ll pick after they are cleaned; we wouldn’t know how to handle these things anyway," Elijah said.

Lincoln Harrington and Douglas Cooper nodded in agreement.

Sean Knight then told the girls,

"Each of you take two golden coins as a reward."

The girls looked at one another and only began to take the coins when Zena Fitzgerald, encouraged by Sean Knight, led the way.

After putting away the golden coins, Sean Knight ate dinner and began contemplating how to open the Subterranean Palace.

He truly wasn’t content with leaving it unopened.

But how to open it was something he really had to think through carefully.
