Treasure Hunt all over the World

Chapter 3092 Exploring the East African Rift Valley

In the abandoned Israeli village of Beta, the tripartite joint exploration team did not find any surprising discoveries, only found some things of little value.

These things include ancient pottery and stone carvings, as well as some dilapidated weapons and metal farming tools and so on.

The most valuable of these is a stone tablet engraved with Ghis language, which records the origin and development of the Beta Israelites until the tenth century.

For Israel and Ethiopia, this stele still has a certain historical and cultural value, and it is worth studying.

As for the Fearless Exploration Company, this stele is of little value.

This Beta Israelites did not make any waves in history, nor did they have any amazing inventions and creations. The cultural relics that record the development of their tribe naturally have no market value.

It took only about two hours for the tripartite joint exploration team to end the exploration operation and walk out of the valley.

Afterwards, everyone returned to the city of Axum by car.

The return journey was relatively smooth, without any trouble.

Not long after returning to the hotel, Joshua, Bishop of Kent, and Seaman came to find him.

As soon as he entered, Joshua said:

"Steven, as we expected, the Tigray people launched an operation this afternoon and temporarily organized an exploration team to explore the cliff west of Axum.

In the end, they found nothing and did not say anything, and two lives were lost. They sent people to descend from the cliff to check the situation on the cliff, but the safety rope broke inexplicably.

The two exploration team members who were rappelling fell from a cliff nearly 300 meters high, and fell directly into a puddle of fleshy mud, but no one can explain the cause of the accident.

The exploration of the Tigray people can only end in haste. According to the information we have heard, this accident seems to have a strange atmosphere, and it does not seem to be caused by man."

"Ah! It's so interesting that such a thing still exists!"

Ye Tian said in surprise.

Immediately afterwards, he asked again:

"Since the Tigray people are rappelling and setting up safety ropes, they should be guarded. Doesn't the guy guarding the safety ropes know the cause of the accident?"

Seaman nodded,

Then he went on to say:

"As far as we know, on the top of the cliff, although the terrain is undulating, there are no thick trees and boulders protruding from the ground, so it is not easy to descend.

The Tigray people drilled a few steel drills on the ground to set up the cable descending device. After the installation was completed, they tried it. It is said that it is still very strong and it seems to be no problem.

During the cable descent exploration, there were no problems at first. After the two exploration team members descended about 50 meters along the cliff, the steel rods were pulled out.

The two guys who were guarding the safety rope at the time, one went to the side to pee, and the other was on the phone with his family, and they didn't see what happened at that time."

"From this point of view, the situation is really a bit weird. I hope that when we go to explore tomorrow, such weird things will not happen."

"We speculate that it may be because the rocks there are relatively loose, but it looks fine on the surface. When the Tigray people drove steel drills into the ground, they had actually buried a safety hazard.

When the two explorers descended down the cliff, every movement they made put pressure on the steel rods, loosened the steel rods little by little, and finally pulled them out directly.”

"This possibility exists. The people of Tigray have helped us find the way. It is a lesson from the past. We must pay attention to these problems when setting up the cable drop facilities!"

"Understood, Steven, for the sake of safety, if we are going to rappel, it is best to set up multiple insurances, just in case!"

Ye Tian nodded, and then continued:

"The cliff is very high and steep, coupled with the complex geological conditions, there is no grass growing on it, we must carefully inspect it before we start the cable descent exploration.

Joshua, you'd better prepare two helicopters, one medium-sized helicopter and one small-sized helicopter, I'm going to take a helicopter to observe the cliff thoroughly."

Hearing this, Joshua nodded immediately.

"No problem, Steven, leave this matter to us. When the tripartite joint exploration team arrives there tomorrow, the two helicopters will also arrive at the same time."

Next, everyone continued to discuss the exploration operations that will be launched tomorrow, and formulated various possible response plans.

It wasn't until evening that Joshua and the others left.

After they left, Ye Tian immediately started calling the security personnel employed by him who were lurking in various places in Axum at the moment, and assigned them various tasks.

Busy and busy, the day has passed.

...

Around eight thirty in the morning.

Ye Tian brought his staff and security personnel, as well as a lot of exploration equipment, down from the hotel upstairs, ready to start today's exploration.

The goal of the tripartite joint exploration team today is the steep cliff where the Tigray people failed yesterday and cost two lives.

When Ye Tian and the others came to the hotel lobby, Joshua, Bishop of Kent and others, as well as other members of the tripartite joint exploration team, were already waiting here.

A group of Tigray people, represented by the deputy mayor of Axum, have also arrived here, ready to set off with everyone.

It can be seen that the faces of these Tigray people are very gloomy, and there is a bit of worry in their eyes.

After everyone met, it was natural to have some polite greetings, and greeted each other a few words.

When greeting the Tigray people, Ye Tian and the others didn't mention the accident that happened yesterday, so they pretended they had never heard of it.

Then, everyone walked to the hotel entrance.

The many vehicles of the tripartite joint exploration convoy had arrived at the entrance of the hotel and parked end to end in a row.

After walking out of the hotel, Ye Tian immediately boarded the armored SUV he was riding in, and ignored the media reporters outside the cordon asking questions loudly.

After everyone boarded the car, the joint exploration convoy drove away from the hotel, escorted by a large number of military and police vehicles, and drove straight to the mountainous area west of Axum.

Like yesterday, today's trip out of the city is another breakthrough.

Fortunately, it was still early, and there were not many Tigray people and Orthodox monks and believers on the street, and the convoy did not encounter any trouble.

Not long after, the convoy drove out of the urban area of ​​Axum smoothly.

At this moment, there was a sudden roar of a huge helicopter engine in the sky.

Immediately afterwards, three helicopters roared from a distance, appeared over the convoy, and flew westward with the convoy.

Among the three helicopters, there are two medium-sized helicopters and one small helicopter.

As soon as he appeared, Seaman's voice came from the intercom.

"Steven, this is our helicopter. Those two medium-sized helicopters can not only serve as security missions, but also transport joint exploration team members and various exploration equipment and supplies.

As for the small helicopter, you can use it to inspect the valley and the steep cliff, and the helicopter pilot can also be replaced by your subordinates."

Hearing the announcement, Ye Tian immediately picked up the walkie-talkie and said:

"Got it, Seaman, I hope we can find something today"

While they were talking, the deputy mayor of Aksum and several other Tigray people were looking at the helicopters in the sky with envy and jealousy in their eyes.

"Steven and these guys are too well prepared, all kinds of exploration equipment are available, and the logistics support is also very good. No wonder they can find one treasure after another!"

"Who says it's not! If we had such advanced exploration equipment, there would be no accident yesterday. Two people died in vain, but nothing was found!"

After driving westward for about half an hour, the convoy reached the previously explored peak.

But the convoy did not stop here, but turned to the southwest, preparing to bypass the mountain and enter the canyon to the west of the mountain.

When passing under this mountain, Ye Tian and the others looked up the mountain through the car window.

It can be seen that there is still smoke on the top of this mountain.

It was the Tigray people who were burning the snake cave of the night snake, trying to kill all the night snakes hidden in the snake cave, as well as the snake eggs scattered in every corner of the snake cave.

They started setting fire to it yesterday, and after burning it for a whole day, all the stones in the snake cave must have been burned.

Seeing this scene, everyone couldn't help talking.

"I didn't expect the efficiency of the Axumites to be quite high. They did it so quickly. In this way, those frightening night snakes may become extinct."

David said with emotion.

Ye Tian shook his head, smiled and said:

"The people of Axum are obviously very afraid of night snakes. It is not an exaggeration to say that this kind of poisonous snake is their nightmare. Because of this, they were so decisive when they found the snake cave.

As for the extinction of the Night Demon Snake, I think it is unlikely. Don’t forget, the other exit of the Night Demon Snake Cave is on the cliff on the west side of the ruins of the old castle, and it is completely open.

The Night Demon Snake coming out of that exit may fall into the canyon below, or even climb down the cliff to the canyon below, in today’s exploration operation, we may encounter it.”

Hearing this, David couldn't help shivering.

"It's better not to touch that kind of poisonous snake. It's frightening to look at. If you get bitten, you have to finish playing directly."

After another fifteen minutes, the convoy just rounded the mountain and stopped at an entrance to the canyon on the west side of the mountain.

After the motorcade came to a complete stop and it was confirmed that the scene was safe, Ye Tian and the others just got out of the car and stood on the side of the road.

Standing on this road and looking westward, you can just see the tall and steep cliff, which is quite shocking from a distance.

There was no grass growing on that cliff, it was bare, and there was no trace of green in sight.

But the canyon below the cliff is full of greenery and the vegetation is very dense, close to a virgin forest.

Fortunately, the distance from this entrance to the cliff is not far, only four to five hundred meters, and the difficulty of passing through the forest in the canyon does not seem to be very difficult.

While Ye Tian was looking at the canyon environment, Joshua and Bishop Kent had already walked over.

The Tigray people, headed by the deputy mayor of Axum, stood more than 20 meters away, discussing something in a low voice while observing the situation here.

Coming closer, Joshua began to introduce the situation here.

"Steven, yesterday the Tigray people explored the cliff to the west, chose to go up the mountain from another direction, and then descend from the mountain to explore, which is relatively easier and saves time.

This time we have to go through the densely-vegetated canyon in front of us to reach the cliff to the west, which is relatively difficult, and there may be some unpredictable dangers hidden in this canyon."

Ye Tian nodded, and then continued:

"Our exploration goals are different from those of the Tigray people, so we naturally have to adopt different methods. Exploring from the bottom of the cliff will help us understand the situation of the cliff more comprehensively.

After we figure out the basic situation of the cliff, if we really need to descend to explore, then we can use a medium-sized helicopter to transport the exploration team to the top of the cliff, and we can advance or retreat.”

After discussing a few words, an Israeli archaeologist began to introduce the geological conditions here.

"Steven, the canyon in front of me and the peaks on both sides are part of the East African Rift Valley's eastern branch rift belt, with frequent geological activities and rich biological species.

This canyon is about four to five hundred meters wide. The bottom of the valley is relatively flat, with dense vegetation and many animals and plants. There is a small river in the canyon, which is not difficult to pass,..."

Next, the archaeologist continued to introduce the situation of the canyon in detail.

At the same time, many members of the tripartite joint exploration team are making various preparations, and everyone is full of expectations.

Due to the limited environment, some exploration team members, including Joshua and Bishop of Kent, could not follow Ye Tian and the others to start the operation this time, so they could only stay here and wait for the result.

Some Tigray people headed by the deputy mayor of Axum, as well as representatives of all parties, can only stay here.

After a while, Ye Tian had a general understanding of this canyon.

After the Israeli archaeologist finished his introduction, he took out the mountaineering bag from the armored SUV behind him, carried it on his back, and put on a fisherman hat and so on.

Of course, there are also weapons such as assault rifles and bush machetes.

In just a moment, he was ready.

Immediately afterwards, he gathered together all the joint exploration team members and security team members who were going to follow him into the canyon and start the exploration operation.

When everyone arrived, he first glanced at the situation in the canyon, and then said loudly:

"Guys, next we will enter this densely vegetated canyon, go to the bottom of the towering cliff on the opposite side of the canyon, and start exploring.

Although this canyon is not very wide, it is believed that it is impossible to pass through, but you still have to be careful, no one knows if there is any danger hidden in the canyon.

Before entering this canyon, everyone carefully checked their attire and the equipment they carried with them, especially paying attention to the protection.

For example, cuffs, necklines, trouser legs, etc., must be stabbed to prevent being bitten by poisonous insects. In addition to poisonous insects, you must also be careful of other animals.

In addition, things like mosquitoes and leeches in the forest, and even every tree and every ancient vine encountered may hide unknown dangers.

During the journey, it is best not to touch the animals and plants you see along the way at will. The more beautiful and brightly colored the animals are, the more dangerous they are.

After entering the canyon, everyone must maintain a good formation and take care of each other. The accompanying security personnel and I will protect everyone's safety, don't worry! "

Next, Ye Tian said some precautions to remind everyone, and then he ended his speech.

After the words fell, everyone immediately began to check their attire and equipment. Everyone was very serious, lest there be any omissions.

At this moment, Cole stepped forward and whispered to Ye Tian:

"Steven, our people have entered this canyon early in the morning, launched a search, and released three small drones with infrared thermal imagers to monitor the situation in the canyon.

If someone else breaks into this canyon, it will be difficult to escape our monitoring. Judging from the current situation, this canyon is relatively safe, and everyone can enter it with confidence! "

Ye Tian smiled softly, then whispered:

"Good job, let the guys keep an eye on the movement inside and outside the canyon. If we find nothing, it will be very peaceful here. If we find something important, it will be another matter!

In view of this, we must be prepared to deal with all kinds of accidents. In my opinion, no matter how valuable a treasure is, even if it is Solomon's treasure, it is not as important as everyone's safety."

"Understood, Steven, we'll be ready"

Cole nodded in response.

In the blink of an eye, everyone has checked their equipment and is ready to enter the canyon and start exploring.

For safety's sake, Ye Tian quickly scanned everyone.

After confirming that there was no problem, he immediately pulled out the jungle machete hanging on the outside of his thigh and pointed at the deep canyon ahead.

"Guys, let's go, let's go to the towering cliff opposite to see if there are any secrets hidden there, and if we can bring you a huge surprise!"

After the words fell, he stepped out first, walked down the road, and walked towards the canyon ahead.

The other joint exploration team members and security personnel followed immediately, and everyone walked towards the canyon together, everyone was very excited and full of expectations!
