Yao Yun and Commander Lei were the first to arrive. Two men and a woman stood in front of them. They were surrounding a person kneeling on the ground.

Seeing Yao Yun and the others coming over, this group of people didn't panic or hide, but it was really strange for them. From the looks of it, the few people standing there didn't look like Indians, but Chinese.

Originally, the reason why Yao Ling and her group rushed over was to find the location of the Silver Buddha. She didn't expect that they would encounter such an accident. These few people had no idea where they came from and were unable to make a further decision.

At this moment, an old man among the three suddenly said to a young girl beside him, "Child, I've told you to keep him alive. If you can't find anything, you can take him back and ask him slowly.

Hearing this, Yao Yun was secretly shocked. Only now did he notice the person kneeling on the ground was stiff, like a tombstone standing upright on the ground, unmoving. His mouth was wide open as a strange smile appeared on his face. Indeed, he looked like he had died from poison.

At first, when Yao Yun saw that these people might be Chinese compatriots, he wanted to step forward to chat with them. However, upon hearing that they had poisoned someone, and judging from their appearance, they didn't seem to care about outsiders like him, so it was better to be a little more cautious.

At this time, the old man turned around and sized up Yao Ling and Commander Lei. He asked with an expressionless face, "You came to find him for some Silver Buddha, right? "It's a pity that we came a little too late. The thing was destroyed by him."

Yao Ling nodded her head: "I know, but even though I can't restore myself to my original state, I still have to find the item. You guys are …?"

He also stole something from us, so we came here to settle the score. My goddaughter did a bit too much, so I'm sorry. "Then we have nothing more to say to each other. We are all Chinese. Well, we won't disturb each other. Goodbye.

After he had finished speaking, the old man was about to leave with the two young men. However, he was stopped by the others who had caught up with him.

Yao Ling was at a loss as to what to do about this situation. It sounded as if these people had nothing to do with the Silver Buddha, but letting them go like this was a little inappropriate.

He thought for a moment, then walked over to the old man and said, "Old man, since we are both Chinese and it is fate that we meet here, let me discuss it with you, what do you think? Since you know we are here to find the Silver Buddha, then please wait for a moment, when I find what I want, you can naturally let them leave. We'll take care of it, too, how about that? "

The old man didn't seem to object, he nodded with an expression as if he was watching a good show, "No problem, you guys have more people and you also have guns. Of course you guys have the final say, but if you want to find that Silver Buddha. "Hehehe."

At that moment, he thought that this old thing wasn't actually afraid of him having more people with guns. He only wanted to make a joke out of himself, so he sneered and said, "You don't need to worry about that. Old sir, please calm down a bit. I'll finish what I need to do immediately."

Yao Ling had long since observed the surroundings and called over a few bodyguards. He went to bring over a large metal barrel that was near the burning tent and told Jian Nisha, "I estimate that the Silver Buddha is inside this barrel."

"Are you confident?" Why didn't this thief take the Silver Buddha away with him? Instead of staying here, isn't it dangerous? "

He took out his dagger and pried off the lid of the barrel. He first peeked inside, and then said satisfied, "That's right, the Silver Buddha is here. Tell Maud that we've found the item."

Everyone curiously walked past the iron vats and looked inside. They were immediately stunned. There weren't any Silver Buddha inside the vats, but instead, there were countless White Ant corpses.

"Third brother, you." Are you all right? How could this be a Silver Buddha? " Ashley finally felt for the first time that Yao Yun was unreliable.

Maud also came over to ask what had happened. He looked at the termites, and when he heard that Yao Yun thought they were the Silver Buddha, he immediately looked at her as if she were a fool, waiting for him to give a further explanation.

Yao Yun once again stuck her head into the barrel and sniffed. She muttered to herself, "It's all prepared. It's a pity that this thief didn't even have the time to light the fire before he met his enemy."

As he said this, he took a windproof match and threw it into the barrel. The termites might have been doused with some kind of fat to help them burn, but they were all ignited all of a sudden. All the termites in the barrel started to burn from the bottom to the top.

"Okay, now I can confirm that my judgement is correct, so I can tell you what happened. He was the thief that Li Yesheng had hired to steal the Silver Buddha. Of course, it was impossible for him to enter the treasury to steal it. The termites were his accomplices, so this thief should be an expert in insect control. The bet between the two had been decided long ago, so he had plenty of time to prepare for it. Because the insect control skill limited the distance between them, the thief couldn't be too far away from the target. Thus, he found a relatively hidden place nearby and raised a few nests of termites. These termites had been given special drugs beforehand. According to industry insiders, they should be an acid that could be combined with the termite's acid, allowing the silver that had been dissolved and eaten by the termite to be reduced through high temperature. Then, at the right time, the thief used his Insect Control Technique to control the termites and sneaked into the treasury, disintegrating and eating the Silver Buddha. Afterwards, he summoned them back and stored them in a hasty freeze, preparing to restore the silver in the termites through burning and other means. However, the thief was very unlucky, as he had miscalculated two things. First, the termites' nest attracted the worms, and the green light emitted by the worms' predator exposed him. Then. Just when he was about to set the fire and restore his Silver equipment, he met his enemies again, and was poisoned to death by them. Right now, I can't explain why this thief wants to restore all of this silver, and the reason why that Silver Buddha has such value is mainly because of its unique craftsmanship and historical value. Even if the remains that were to be decomposed and eaten by termites were to be reduced to silver, they would just be a pile of poor quality silver powder, which would be of no value to an expert with insect control skills. Even if he is greedy, he would not take the risk of hiding here just for the sake of not being worth a bit of silver powder. "

Yao Yin silently lit up a cigarette and gloomily said, "This is all thanks to Old Hu. Regarding the matter of the white ants eating silver, I also saw it in the Classics of Insects left behind by Old Hu. It contains the stories about the white ants eating silver and Old Hu's own analysis of it in the Classics of Insects, which were written in the records of the Southern Mountains, the Outer History of the Fragrant Sky Tower, and the Supreme Perception Scripture."

Even though this matter sounded strange, based on the situation at the scene and the reason behind Yao Ling's explanation, everyone believed that Yao Ling's conjecture was the truth of the matter.

Koenitha stared at Maud, wanting to hear his opinion.

Maud was a shrewd businessman, and he understood that Yao Ning had not randomly invented a reason to deceive him. He also realized that he had underestimated the Chinese, and in his heart, he was prepared to tell these people what he had told Li Yisheng again. In any case, he didn't need to pay any price.

However, perhaps it was due to the God of Fortune's bloodline that he inherited, but Maud was too good at scheming. He always tried his best to squeeze out the last drop of benefit before he was satisfied. Thus, he remained silent.

Jensa understood his thoughts and went over to talk to Maud in a low voice. Maud finally nodded her head in satisfaction.

Maud instructed a few of her men to take care of the scene. When the rest of the people were about to drive back, the old man among the three Chinese people suddenly called out to Yao Lin.

"What is it? What's the matter? "

Yao Yun thought to himself, this old man is really strange. He killed a person for no reason and not only did Maud and the others not make things difficult for him, they even helped him clean up the place. He actually didn't leave immediately and found me instead.

The old man smiled and said to Yao Lin, "I'm afraid today is not a good opportunity to chat with you. My surname is Chen, and my name is Chen Sha, and my name is Chen Sha and Sheng Yue." We are all Chinese people, it is fate that we met here. If it is convenient for you, please contact me. I have been staying here for the last three days. "

He handed Yao Ling a hotel business card with the room number and a phone number, "I think I know what you guys are here for. I think we should have a nice chat and get close. Goodbye." With that, the old man led the two young men down the mountain.

On the way back, to Yao's surprise, Maud told them that he knew the three Chinese people he had just met. They were well-known in the circle of the wealthy in Bangalore, and were famous treasure hunters.

"What's that?" Yao Ling was very curious.

"India is also an ancient country, but unlike you in China, India has a long history of scattered dynasties and states. China's vast wealth is often held by the central government of the dynasty, but India's vast wealth is hidden in monuments and temples everywhere. "

I've heard of this before, but I don't know if it's true or not. I remember one year, it was reported on the news that your army needed funds to purchase firearms. In the end, you dug out two ancient temples and plundered their properties, collecting a huge sum of money. Hahaha. "

He continued, "Well, it's like this. Moreover, there are many abandoned ruins of ancient temples, and the great amount of wealth that may be hidden in them is probably an ownerless property, so if anyone discovers these treasures, he will become the owner of the wealth. That was why India had once been a treasure hunt, with those who were qualified putting their energies and money into organizing teams to dig up undiscovered treasure. However, these things were not so easily found. People who sought treasures often came back empty-handed, and not only did the funds invested into them go to waste, many of them even lost a few lives. Thus, adventurers who were truly familiar with the history of ancient India, familiar with local customs and legends, well aware of the changes in geography and the environment, and who possessed the skills of explorers, became the human resources that treasure hunters fought for. These adventurers were also known as treasure hunters. Maud said that the three people who were there just now were the treasure hunters of the industry, and that they had been in Bangalore in recent years because it was a gathering place for the newly rich in India, with a great demand for antiques and treasures. The three of them had also become the guests of the city's rich, and Maud had made a few deals with the three of them, so she did not make things difficult for them. "
