Chapter 184 - 184 Damn! What If You've Found the Tomb of an Emperor?! (1)

184 Damn! What If You’ve Found the Tomb of an Emperor?! (1)

“What? A national treasure?”

“What kind of national treasure?”

“There’s actually a national treasure within Dalong Mountain?”

“What do you mean?”

When Luo Feng suddenly exclaimed something about a national treasure, the first image that appeared on everyone’s mind was that of the giant pandas. However, on second thought, they could not make sense of it. Where would a giant panda possibly live at in Dalong Mountain? It was simply impossible.

“Hehe, you might not know, but this creature is the Dalong Mountain’s infamous Iron-head Pit Viper, also known as the brown-spotted pit viper. It can grow up to 2 meters long and usually weighs around 3 kilograms. It is a venomous snake species belonging to the suborder Serpentes and the family Viperidae. It mainly lives in the southern part of China, and it has no confirmed subspecies. The Iron-head Pit Viper was named by Chen Yuanhui and Zhao Ermu and is an endangered species given top priority for international protection. Its rarity may even surpass that of the giant panda, making it the ‘panda of the snake world’!”

Once Luo Feng finished speaking, he turned to look at Zhang Shunyong, “Are you sure you want to desecrate an endangered subspecies?”

If it were an ordinary snake, killing it would not matter much. But for this particular case, not only would Zhang Shunyong be condemned domestically, but the entire world would criticize you as well. Take, for example, the International Wildlife Conservation Association; this is a species that is extremely rare worldwide.

“Err… this…”

Seeing this, Zhang Shunyong dared not harm the snake any longer and slowly withdrew his blade.

“Damn, that’s awesome! Host, catch it!”

“Yeah, catch it quickly!”

“I looked up the snake, and apparently there are only a few hundred of them in the world. They’re indeed rarer than the giant pandas!”

Upon hearing this, Luo Feng shook his head, “If I were catch this snake, what will happen to its younglings?”

Luo Feng chuckled and left the snake undisturbed, as he moved away from the area. As he walked, he called the forestry bureau to alert them of the finding, so that they could employ measures to prevent unscrupulous individuals from coming up the mountain to capture the snake. After all, its value was over a million, and many criminals would be tempted to catch the snake. With tens of millions of people watching the livestream, such news would undoubtedly reach the ears of snake hunters. After notifying the forestry bureau staff, Luo Feng hung up the call.

Half an hour later, Luo Feng spotted a dot near a bamboo grove.

Seeing this, Luo Feng wondered if it could be another snake. Nevertheless, he decided to dig it up and try his luck.

After digging for about half an hour, a notification appeared.

[ Snake! Worth 3.6 million! ]

Damn. So many? All in one place?

Seeing that the system mentioning yet another snake, Luo Feng did not want to dig anymore. However, the triangular head of the snake still emerged, fiercely protecting its territory. It was nowhere near as cute as the little snake from Doupo1, who could transform into a beautiful woman with attractive legs.

“Damn, the host’s lifelong enemy!”

“Haha, found another one?”

You can only look, but you can’t touch it, haha!”

“What a big snake! It could be considered a python!”

Luo Feng initially thought that the 3.6 million price tag meant that there were a whole nest of snakes waiting for him. However, it turned out to be one enormous snake. The snake was probably over four meters long and weighed at least 20 to 30 kilograms.

Luo Feng and the others thought it best to leave, fearing the snake might attack them. Although killing it would not be illegal, it would be a pity to destroy such a rare species.

Personally, Luo Feng felt that that when it came to self-defense, one had every right to employ any means to defend themselves. So what if they were against a national treasure? In the end, they are but mere treasures, which could not be worth more than human life.

“Let’s not provoke it; let’s get out of here, considering its fierce appearance!” Luo Feng did not bother to engage the creature and led the heirs to another location. Looking back, the giant snake did not seem to follow.

“Damn, host, don’t be a coward! If it dares to touch you, use a legitimate defense move and kill it!”

“Hahaha, just kill it; what’s there to fear?”

“Honestly, if someone went treasure hunting alone and were to encounter such a python, would they end up as python feces?”

“It’s not impossible! But the host should be able to defeat a python single-handedly!”

“Nonsense, the host’s fighting ability from the steel factory incident is no joke; he defeated dozen or so assailants without even breaking a sweat!”

Luo Feng arrived at another side of the bamboo grove and found another treasure marker. He dug it up and discovered a rock.

Of course, this was only in the perspective of an oblivious onlooker.

To Luo Feng, this was a prop, a super-functional beverage used to restore stamina. At least… it was much better than medicinal herbs.

Moving on, he then located yet another dot, dug for about half an hour… And realized that the treasure was buried quite deep.

Finally, with a clang…

[ Gold! Worth 42,000 yuan! ]

Luo Feng frowned slightly, immediately dug around it, pulled away the surrounding mud, and extracted a rectangular object. It was a black oxidized gold bar from the Ming dynasty. It was nothing extraordinary.

“Could this gold bar be related to the antiques we found yesterday?”

“Were they all dropped by ancient tomb raiders?”

Luo Feng glanced at his viewers’ messages but did not answer since he was unsure himself. After storing the gold bar, Luo Feng continued to excavate another nearby treasure marker.

More gold…

More gold…

By the time it was almost 4 in the afternoon, Luo Feng had unearthed a total of 7 gold bars, all valued around several tens of thousands of yuan.

Initially, Luo Feng believed that these items might have been lost by tomb raiders. However, after discovering the gold in the bamboo grove, he noticed a detail: the distance between each gold piece was about 100 meters. Every 100 meters, a gold bar would be found.

This felt too planned for it to be a coincidence in Luo Feng’s eyes!
