Chapter 4520 4522 [Jungle Adventure]

During these years, Weatherby's health deteriorated and he eventually died.

Xiang Nan did not help him prolong his life. For him, death was actually a good thing.

Elizabeth was very sad about Weatherby's death. After all, she lost her mother at a very young age and was raised by her father.

In order to avoid Elizabeth being bullied after remarrying, Weatherby did not remarry for so many years. In fact, with his identity, status and wealth, I don't know how many people are willing to marry him.

Her father was so good to her, and Elizabeth was so sentimental, how could she not love him, and naturally she was sad.

"Elizabeth, why don't we change the environment." Xiang Nan said to Elizabeth, "Let's go back to England, or go somewhere else to relax."

He knew that traveling to relax can help people relax. And Elizabeth herself is a person who likes to move rather than quiet. After the school in Jamaica was built, she volunteered to teach at the school.

"What about your job?" Elizabeth asked worriedly.

"I'll just quit." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said, "I was a rear admiral in the Royal Navy before, and I could expect to become a vice admiral, admiral, or even a naval marshal, and be granted a title and fiefdom.

No matter what I do now, I'm just the sheriff of Jamaica, which is the highest I've been promoted to. And now that Weatherby is dead, they will definitely have to change a new head of state. By then, I don't know if they can get along.

So I want to quit and take you around. We happen to have money and time. What do you think?"

He was not going to take over the position of head of Jamaica, which had no appeal to him.

In fact, if it weren't for the purpose of being well-matched and letting Governor Weatherby willingly marry his daughter to him, Xiang Nan would have resigned from the position of sheriff of Port Royal long ago.

Elizabeth smiled and nodded when she heard it.

...

Afterwards, Xiang Nan bought a ship and hired a group of sailors, among whom the first mate was Gibbs.

Not only did Xiang Nan have a lot of money, he also inherited the estate of his father Lawrence Norrington.

At the beginning of the Seven Years' War, Lawrence Norrington was accidentally wounded while commanding the battle with the French Navy and eventually died for his country.

After his death, all of his property of 200,000 pounds was inherited by Xiang Nan. Elizabeth also inherited all of Weatherby's estate, about 100,000 pounds. At that time, it was also a huge sum of money.

Therefore, they were fully capable of traveling around the world without worrying about money.

Under Xiang Nan's guidance, they set out from Jamaica, first went west to the Yucatan Peninsula, and then set off all the way north along the coastline of North America.

This is convenient for replenishing fresh water and food, and also allows them to enjoy the scenery along the way.

Xiang Nan and his team first arrived in Cancun on the Yucatan Peninsula, where there are not only beautiful beaches, but also the magnificent Quetzalcoatl Pyramid.

Elizabeth wanted to go to the pyramid after hearing about it. Although she has been in Jamaica for so long, she has actually not been anywhere except staying in Port Royal.

The sailors advised her not to take risks, because although it was said that there was a temple of Quetzalcoatl in the jungle, no one had ever found it, and those who went to find it all died without exception, so they advised Elizabeth not to take risks.

Elizabeth was very adventurous, so she naturally refused to listen.

Xiang Nan also decided to fulfill her wish, but in order to prevent casualties, he decided to go alone with Elizabeth and told the first mate Gibbs that he only had to wait for them in Cancun for seven days. If they didn't come back in seven days, the ship would be his.

For this reason, Xiang Nan also made a special oath to him in the name of the goddess of the sea.

…

Xiang Nan then carried his bags with Elizabeth and went through the dense jungle to find the temple of Quetzalcoatl.

The jungle was densely planted, with trees next to trees and vines connected to vines. There was no path at all, so Xiang Nan could only wield a machete to open the way.

Moreover, there were not only many mosquitoes, flies and poisonous snakes in the jungle, but also local Mayans who guarded around the Quetzalcoatl pyramid to prevent outsiders from breaking in.

Therefore, Xiang Nan and Elizabeth experienced many hardships along the way. They were bitten by mosquitoes, almost bitten by poisonous snakes, and even hunted by Mayans...

But Elizabeth was not afraid, but aroused her desire to win and adventure, and finally they successfully arrived at the Quetzalcoatl Pyramid.

Of course, all this was thanks to Xiang Nan.

For example, those mosquitoes can transmit very serious diseases, such as malaria, encephalitis, dengue fever, yellow fever, filariasis, etc.

If ordinary people get these diseases in the jungle, basically there is no other way but to wait for death. But although Elizabeth was bitten by mosquitoes, she was soon cured by Xiang Nan before the bacteria took effect.

And poisonous snakes, scorpions, poisonous spiders, etc. hidden in the dark were also discovered and eliminated by Xiang Nan in advance. As for being hunted by the Mayans, they were able to escape smoothly, which was entirely due to Xiang Nan's credit.

It was he who used his true energy to deflect those arrows, which led to the fact that although it looked like a rain of arrows and dangers, and they would be shot through if they were not careful, they did not hit the two people with a single arrow, and finally they were able to escape safely.

Elizabeth thought it was a fluke, but it was actually Xiang Nan's silent protection.

…

"Oh my god, this is really an unparalleled art!" Standing at the foot of the Quetzalcoatl Pyramid, Elizabeth looked at the magnificent building and said.

She couldn't imagine that those Indians, who looked so backward and primitive, could actually build such a majestic and huge building in the jungle. It was really incredible.

"Yeah, I can't imagine how this temple was built. It's so amazing." Xiang Nandu sighed.

"Let's climb up and take a look." Elizabeth said excitedly.

"I think we should not do it. This is the temple of Kukul, the feathered serpent god. Legend has it that only Mayan priests can enter." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said, "We are outsiders. It will be dangerous to go up."

"It should be okay." Elizabeth was eager to try, "Let's go, go up, I feel vaguely that there seems to be something up there, calling us."

"Then we can't go up, maybe there are ghosts up there, who knows." Xiang Nan stopped again.

"Then we have to see it even more." Elizabeth said excitedly, "I haven't seen a ghost yet, nor have I seen any strange events. If I can really encounter a ghost, then I will really open my eyes."

"Well, if I don't accompany you up, I think you will regret it for the rest of your life." Xiang Nan smiled.

"You really understand my thoughts." Elizabeth smiled, and then took Xiang Nan to climb up together.

They climbed up the steps to the top of the Quetzalcoatl Pyramid.

"Wow~" Elizabeth was shocked to see hundreds of white bones on the top of the pyramid. They were piled up like a hill.

So many skulls, with empty eye sockets, staring at them silently, making people shudder.

Elizabeth was completely unprepared to see so many skulls, and her legs went weak on the spot. If Xiang Nan hadn't held her up in time, she would have almost rolled down the pyramid.
