Assassin’s Adventure - Chapter 139
Gordon slowly pulled out the machete from his waist. The sound of the sword being unsheathed was very subtle. He couldn’t guarantee that he could hit such a thin poisonous snake with one shot. Sometimes the machete was easy to use.
Seeing that the poisonous snake was still slowly approaching, Gordon’s machete had reached the best position to exert force, and then he shouted, “Bow your head!”
Burton responded and lowered his head immediately, and the poisonous snake was also stimulated by the external connection, its open mouth, like a spring, flew out in an instant, and Gordon’s machete flew past, accurately. cut on the snake’s head.
The blood splattered, and the poisonous snake’s body fell to the side. Although its head was gone, its body was still twisting and entangled.
Of course, this is just a small episode. After a short rest, the soldiers simply repaired the boat and then set off on the journey again.
Going further against the Caroni River, some strange things will always fall from the trees on both sides of the river bank, whether it is tree fruit or insects.
Every time, the soldiers were a little nervous and watched their surroundings vigilantly.
“Selina, are there any angels in this world?”
Gordon asked while looking around.
“I don’t think so. Even a witch of mine can pray to God.”
Serena was once asked to repent by the priest. Of course, she did it sincerely, and there was no problem.
According to legend, the witch is the messenger of hell. If there is a god, then it will definitely be able to respond.
“That is to say, the fall of the angel is likely to refer to something, or a phenomenon.”
The clues they have are too few, even if they are broken down into word-by-word explanations, the things they get are still limited.
“Will it be some kind of statue? Like an angel.”
Gordon can only keep guessing at the moment.
“You ignored the word fall,” Serena reminded.
“Did it fall? What does it mean, it collapsed, or…”
“It’s height, Gordon. Falling means height difference.”
“If this is the case, along the Caroni River Basin, there is a height difference.”
“Waterfall!” The two said in unison, if nothing else, the location of El Dorado should be around a waterfall.
“Serena, you are a genius.” Gordon sighed, then called to Burton, “We should look for the waterfall, Commodore!”
“What happened to the waterfall?” Burton was a little puzzled.
“The El Dorado is related to waterfalls.”
Although Burton didn’t know why Gordon made this judgment, he still chose to believe it.
“Everyone, pay attention to whether there is a waterfall!”
……
The boat continued to advance along the tributaries, and finally entered the main basin in the afternoon. This is the widest channel of the Caroni River. The water surface is calm, the river water is amber, and the surrounding is no longer gloomy. On the bank not far away. There are even golden sandy beaches.
“I’m starting to believe that El Dorado is here.”
Allen put his hand into the amber river water and held it up. It was extremely clear and pure.
In the distance, the mountains are stacked and green, and the sound of waterfalls begins to echo.
“There is a waterfall in front of the right!”
On a converging tributary, the sharp-eyed soldier discovered the small waterfall, with a drop of less than 30 meters.
“Let’s go, go and have a look!”
Everyone speeded up their paddling and moved closer.
The width of this waterfall is about 50 meters, with strange rocks and many green plants growing on the stones in the middle. Clues, Burton still ordered everyone to dock.
The current of the waterfall was a little turbulent, and the boat stopped at a farther position.
rumbling…
“Gore, take the soldiers to the top of the waterfall to have a look!”
“Yes, Commodore!”
“You guys come with me.”
Gore and a few soldiers began to look for a way to go around. The waterfall is not high, so this can be done easily.
“Everyone else should be smart and explore around, in groups of five.”
The soldiers received the order and began to spread out. Burton had no hope that these soldiers would be able to find the El Dorado like this, but as long as they found a few clues, such as a small amount of gold, maybe they could prove it.
Gordon walked along the river with people, trying to explore the wreck of the Elizabeth, following the lost gems as before.
“Sir, we found the remaining camp of the Spaniards.”
A group of soldiers hurried back shortly after leaving.
“Lead the way!”
The remaining camp of the Spaniards can tell them a lot of information, the number of enemies, the supplies they brought, when they arrived here, and where they went next.
Gordon rushed over when he heard the news.
Simple wood stood there, and if I guessed correctly, these Spaniards spread canvas over it to form a simple tent. There are seven fires in the entire camp, and there are haystacks overwhelmed by supplies.
“About a hundred people, Captain.”
Jon said on the side that when they first explored the Amazon River Basin with 80 people~www.mtlnovel.com~ there were a little less than the campsite, the number of tents, and the number of fires.
“They brought a lot of supplies.”
This is what Burton found, and there should be far more of these things than theirs.
He walked to the side and squatted down, then rubbed the gray powder on the ground.
“I brought a lot of gunpowder. Are you going to blow up something?”
These Spaniards do not know that they are following, or that these Spaniards have more clues than they do.
No boats were found on the outside river, nor around, and the Spaniards abandoned this place and moved on.
“Brigadier General! There’s nothing on it!”
At this time, Gore led people to shout above the waterfall. It was obvious that there was nothing here, and even if there was, it would have been looted long ago.
“Everyone gets on the boat, let’s move on!”
According to the burning ashes, the enemy stayed overnight here for a whole day, and they still had a long way to go from the Spaniards.
Following the river, he returned to the main stream, and then continued to drive forward.
Until night, they didn’t find anything more useful. The soldiers havetily camped along the shore, tied the boat to the trees, and brought food and supplies ashore.
The jungle at night is full of all kinds of weird beast roars. It is cold and humid here. Only the bonfire in the middle of the camp can disperse a lot of cold. Some iron pots are placed on it, and bacon is cooked in it, mixed with oatmeal. There is no cook among the people, and Burton can’t do the behavior of bringing a cook at such a time.
Everyone brought a bowl of broth, dipped it in black bread, and at most a lot of ale to disperse the cold.
