Chapter 2493
The three-party joint exploration team set off again, left the small hill, and continued to go deep into the tropical rainforest to explore the legendary treasures of the Mayan Empire's Golden City.
The few remaining Honduran military and police all stayed on this small hill, responsible for guarding the golden statue of the Mayan priest, lest this priceless treasure fall into the hands of those who followed.
In this way, only Ye Tian's many security personnel are left to protect the tripartite joint exploration team.
And this is exactly the situation he wants to see. In the next exploration operation, it is undoubtedly much safer and easier to act. At least there is no need to worry about the Hondurans shooting black guns from behind.
In addition to many Honduran military and police officers, a government official from the Honduran side of the joint exploration team and an expert in the identification of antique works of art also stayed on this small hill.
In addition to guarding this top-level antique cultural relic, they also have to supervise the Honduran military and police, lest those Honduran military and police guard themselves from stealing.
When they left the small hill, Ye Tian and Professor Delgado each took out their mobile phones and cameras, took pictures of every detail of the golden statue, kept them as evidence, and conducted research on the way.
In particular, the Mayan hieroglyphs and various exquisite patterns engraved on the surface of the statue are likely to be related to the legendary Golden City, and it is best to translate them as soon as possible.
In that case, in the next exploration operation, everyone may be able to avoid a lot of wrong roads and get twice the result with half the effort.
Going down from the small hill is a long downhill road. Although it saves a lot of energy, the environment in the rainforest is more complicated and dangerous.
The speed of the joint exploration team has not increased, but has decreased a lot. It can be said to be careful every step of the way.
During the journey, we encountered many animals living in this rainforest, such as macaws, hummingbirds, sloths, slender cats, and giant pythons.
In addition, everyone also saw many tropical plants that had never been seen before, as well as colorful and unique flowers and trees, and there were many kinds of them.
All these animals and plants living in the depths of the tropical rainforest have added a lot of fun and color to your journey of exploration.
Soon, it was noon.
Matisse and the others found a relatively open and safe area,
After careful cleaning, it was used as a temporary resting place for the joint exploration team.
Here, everyone ate a quick lunch, rested for a while, replenished their energy, and set off again to continue exploring.
Not far ahead, Matisse's voice suddenly came from the wireless invisible earphones and reached Ye Tian's ears.
"Steven, according to reports from the staff who stayed in Tegucigalpa, the Honduras government has taken action. Several senior officials from the presidential palace and the parliament have just left Tegucigalpa and flew to Copan Ruinas by helicopter.
The Honduran military is also taking action. They are mobilizing more military and police to come to Copan Ruinas. Judging from the content of the conversation that Kenny and the others monitored, those guys are coming for the golden statue of the Mayan priest just now! "
Hearing the announcement, Ye Tian immediately smiled and said in a low voice:
"No surprise! This is completely within my expectations. The tripartite joint exploration team discovered such a priceless top-level antique cultural relic. It would be strange if the Hondurans did not act!
More importantly, the statue of the Mayan priest is entirely made of gold, and it is inlaid with many valuable gemstones, which is enough to make all Hondurans jealous and even crazy.
Under such circumstances, it is not surprising that the Honduran government, parliament, and military have made such a series of actions. They must want to remove the golden statue immediately to avoid long nights and dreams.
With the strength of Honduras, they don't have the heavy-duty transport helicopters that can lift this golden statue. You know, this golden statue weighs at least several tons and is located deep in the rainforest.
In the rain forest just now, the helicopter could not land at all. Even if they cut down all the trees on that hill, they would not be able to transport the golden statue away, and it was even more unrealistic to transport it by land.
Just the narrow and steep ridge before can cut off all the ideas of the Hondurans using manpower to transport by land, let's watch the show, and finally we have to take action for transshipment."
After the voice fell, Matisse immediately responded:
"Understood, Steven, I will tell the guys to keep an eye on those Hondurans, and if they make any moves, they will report immediately"
Next, Mattis reported some other situations before ending the call.
While they were talking on the phone, the joint exploration team continued to move forward, stepping into the depths of the rainforest.
Copan Ruinas, who had long been left far behind by them, was extremely lively at this moment.
The Honduran police in several small towns closer to Copan Ruinas received orders one after another, and then drove towards Copan Ruinas in full armor.
At the same time, many soldiers on the border between Honduras and Guatemala, as well as on the border between Honduras and El Salvador, have also received orders.
The top military officials in Honduras ordered them to increase their security level, be careful of the troops of the other two countries, and other people of all kinds, strictly conduct interrogation, and even temporarily block the border if necessary!
Meanwhile, the Honduran military police coming from the direction of Tegucigalpa and other places are galloping on various highways or country roads, heading straight for Copan Ruinas.
High-level figures from the Honduran presidential palace, parliament, and military are flying towards Copan Ruinas by helicopter. Everyone is extremely excited, and everyone's eyes are shining with greed.
What happened in Honduras and Copan Ruinas soon spread to neighboring Guatemala, El Salvador, and other Central American countries.
In fact, Guatemala and El Salvador, as well as some other countries in the region, have been paying close attention to the movement of Copan Ruinas and the every move of the tripartite joint exploration team.
They even placed some eyeliners in Tegucigalpa, Copan Ruinas and other places, responsible for inquiring about news and tracking some key people.
Without much effort, Guatemala and El Salvador obtained information that the tripartite joint exploration team discovered a priceless gold sculpture of a Mayan priest weighing three to four tons deep in the rainforest.
Of course, they also received news at the same time that those guys who followed the tripartite joint exploration team into the tropical rainforest had been slaughtered and almost all died in the depths of the rainforest.
Among these stalkers with ulterior motives are people from Guatemala and El Salvador, such as Silva, who is an elite of the Guatemalan special forces, and several Salvadoran soldiers in disguise.
After receiving the news, the governments of Guatemala and El Salvador quickly responded, contacted the Honduran government and military, and deployed forces to prepare for the operation.
The other countries in Central and South America are also not very good. They have also received news one after another, knowing what happened here, and reacted quickly.
All of a sudden, this valley located on the border of the three countries directly became the focus of the entire Central and South America, and even the focus of the entire Americas. Countless people were looking at this side.
Without exception, endless greed flashed in the eyes of these guys, and the eyeballs were green!
At this time, the tripartite joint exploration team is still winding forward in the depths of the rainforest, step by step approaching the legendary Golden City of the Mayan Empire!
Many of them still don't know that the outside world has become turbulent because of Ye Tian's previous discovery, and a huge storm is brewing!
While talking, Ye Tian and the others who opened the way in front of the team passed through a dense forest again.
At this moment, the sound of water suddenly came from everyone's ears, and the light in the rainforest ahead became much brighter.
However, the gray wolf and another Maya who were walking at the front of the team suddenly stopped and took a few steps back, looking at the rainforest in front of them in fear.
