"Whoosh"

With the slight sound of breaking wind, a black shadow suddenly rushed out of the thorn, like lightning, straight towards Ye Tian's head.

Ye Tian, ​​who was walking, seemed to have the ability to predict the future. The black shadow had just rushed out of the bushes nearby, but the jungle machete in his hand had already been shot out sideways.

"Pa"

Being impartial, the back of the jungle machete hit the black shadow, sending the black shadow flying directly towards a towering tree three to four meters away from the side.

The next moment, the black shadow was hanging on a branch. It made no sound and was completely dead in an instant.

At this time, if someone were here and the lighting conditions were good, he would see that the black shadow was an extremely venomous snake, about one meter long, but its head had been beaten to pieces by Ye Tian.

The reason why this venomous snake launched a surprise attack was probably because it was stimulated by the strong light cast by the headlamp on Ye Tian's head. In addition, this was its territory and could not be violated, so it attacked and injured people.

Unfortunately, it met Ye Tian this time. Not only did the attack fail, but it also lost its life.

Ye Tian has encountered attacks like this several times before and is no longer surprised.

Those who tried to sneak up on him in the dark included various animals living here, as well as various deadly plants, including venomous snakes, giant centipedes, and man-catching vines.

Without exception, the animals and plants that wanted to attack him were either shot away by him with the back of the jungle machete, or chopped to pieces by him, and they all died.

While dealing with these guys who secretly attacked him, he also did not forget to explore this dark tropical rain forest, and he gained a lot.

Along the way, he discovered seven or eight ruins of buildings from the Mayan Empire that were covered with vines, flowers, trees, soil and shrubs.

Similar to the previously discovered Golden Temple of Comu Camampos, every architectural ruin here, and many places inside and outside are more or less covered with gold, shining with golden light.

Perhaps this is the origin of the name Golden City of the Mayan Empire. This is a glittering Mayan city, a veritable golden city.

During the Mayan Empire, gold was mainly used for sacrificial activities to offer to gods and decorate temples, rather than being traded as currency, so there is a lot of gold here.

In addition to the dizzying amount of gold, these architectural ruins from the Mayan Empire are all engraved with Mayan hieroglyphs, various patterns, and exquisite decorations.

A considerable number of these characters and patterns have never been seen by Ye Tiandu. They are all characters and patterns discovered for the first time. They are obviously of great historical and cultural research value.

Most of the statues, sacrificial objects, pottery, and other antiques found in these historical relics are engraved with Mayan hieroglyphs and patterns, and many of the antiques are very exquisite.

Just from the brilliant light emitted by those antique cultural relics and the charming halo they possess, Ye Tian can accurately judge the era those antique cultural relics come from and how valuable they are.

Among these antique cultural relics, there are many priceless top antique cultural relics. Even Ye Tian was eager to see them and wanted to keep all these treasures in his pocket.

The only pity is that Ye Tian only recognizes a few Mayan hieroglyphs and does not recognize most of the rest. Naturally, he cannot understand the meaning of the Mayan hieroglyphs and patterns he sees.

However, this does not prevent him from making accurate judgments.

At this time, he knew very well that he was witnessing the entire history of the Mayan civilization and the entire process of the rise, decline, and even death of the Mayan empire.

The Mayan hieroglyphics and patterns that appeared in my eyes recorded the history of the entire Mayan empire. If arranged in chronological order, it would be a complete Mayan history book.

In addition to the ancient architectural ruins built in various periods of the Mayan Empire, but already abandoned at this time, completely buried and swallowed up by this tropical rainforest, he also discovered several large and small treasures.

Most of these treasures are buried near or under architectural ruins. Most of the treasures contain gold and various colorful gems. Most of these gems have not been polished and still maintain their original appearance.

Just because they are so old, most of these rough gemstones buried deep underground or covered under dead branches and leaves have lost their original luster. After being unearthed, they still need to be treated with professional techniques. .

The overall value of these treasures buried deep underground and in architectural ruins is astonishing, and can be regarded as an astronomical amount of wealth.

But for Ye Tian, ​​these staggering amounts of gold and gems are obviously not as alluring as those top antiques, which are his inevitable goals.

During the exploration, he also discovered a creepy pit, or swamp.

In the large pit that had long since turned into a swamp, he saw many bones. Pile on the top were some animal bones, which should have been the bones of animals that had fallen into the swamp.

What was piled underneath were human skeletons, layer upon layer, totaling three to four hundred corpses.

The bones were divided into eight or nine layers in total, and each layer was separated by a layer of soil about twenty centimeters thick. Among them were the bones of adults, as well as the bones of many minors and even babies.

Judging from the posture of the bones when they were buried and the scars on the bones, those people were basically buried alive with their hands and feet tied, and many of them had their leg bones broken.

Obviously, this is a mass grave where the Mayans performed human sacrifices. The people who died in this pit had their hands and feet tied and their thigh bones broken to prevent them from struggling to escape.

The Golden City of the Mayan Empire is a very special existence. Unlike other Mayan cities, the people sacrificed here are probably not captured prisoners of war or civilians from hostile tribes.

Then there is only one possibility. Those who were sacrificed here and died in this mass grave were most likely the Copan Mayans, or even the royal family of the Copan Kingdom that mysteriously disappeared.

This may be one of the reasons why the Kingdom of Copan collapsed and the royal family of Copan mysteriously disappeared deep into the rainforest.

Seeing this mass grave used for human sacrifice, even as brave as Ye Tian, ​​he couldn't help but be frightened. He took two steps back, his whole body was cold, and he was covered in white hair sweat!

For a moment, he seemed to hear the extremely sad and desperate wails of hundreds of Mayans before they died, and seemed to see the almost crazy Mayan priests dancing beside the mass grave!

After seeing this mass grave, he had a new understanding of the blood, cruelty, and inhumanity of the ancient Mayans.

The decline of the glorious and splendid Mayan civilization and the demise of the Mayan empire were not only the **** killings of European colonists, but also had a lot to do with the crazy cannibalism of the Mayans.

Ye Tian stood at the edge of the swamp for a moment, and then left quickly, never wanting to stay here again.

It is no exaggeration to say that underneath that swamp is a very real hell.

After leaving the swamp, Ye Tian continued to explore the tropical rain forest, walking deeper into the rain forest step by step.

Next, he discovered several historical relics covered by dense vegetation or soil. In or around these relics, he also found a lot of gold and gems, as well as other valuable antiques.

While they were talking, their strange treasure hunting team had arrived in the center of this tropical rain forest.

At this point, the female jaguar walking in front of the team suddenly stopped, looked ahead warily, and assumed a fighting posture.

Not far in front of it is a green pool, only about twenty or thirty meters wide, not very large, and I don't know how deep it is.

In the center of this pool, there stands a hill about seven or eight meters high. There seems to be a temple on the top of the mountain.

Both the hill and the temple on the top of the mountain are covered by dense vegetation and vines, making it impossible to see their true appearance.
