Reborn in 1965, I can obtain resources just by sweeping the floor.

Su Chen quickly realized that these Japanese soldiers had also come to search for the treasure.

They belong to the Mitsui Trading Company of the Japanese Empire. A few months ago, the vice president of the Mitsui Trading Company bought a property. While sorting through the previous owner's belongings, he found a diary and a key in the safe. The map was in the diary.

The diary recorded the entire process of transporting and concealing the treasure, so the vice president reported this discovery to the president. After several meetings, it was finally decided to send a small team to secretly infiltrate the Lesser Khingan Mountains to search for and verify whether the diary was true.

"Alright, Hatoyama-kun, I'll keep watch for the first half of the night, you all rest. Then you'll take over for the second half. We'll set off early tomorrow morning, and if all goes well, we should reach our destination by tomorrow evening."

After the group had eaten and drunk their fill, they crawled into the makeshift tent next to the campfire, leaving only the guy named Koinu Ichiro outside to keep watch.

Hiding inside the space, watching everything outside, because the map in Su Chen's hand was quite worn and the last part of the journey was very blurry, now that there was a free guide, Su Chen decided to let them live a little longer.

Seeing that the guys had all crawled into the tent, Su Chen revealed a wicked smile.

"It's still early, I'll play with you guys later."

After saying that, Su Chen picked up a book, lay down on the bed in the thatched hut of the Spirit Plant Garden, and casually began to flip through it.

The Mysterious Yang Heart Sutra!

It was the book that Zhuge Qingyun gave him just before he boarded the train that day. According to Zhuge Qingyun himself, he found the book in a Taoist temple.

I haven't had time to look through it since I put it in my backpack, so I'll take this opportunity to study it properly.

In the beginning of heaven and earth, there were two energies, yin and yang. When these energies gathered, life was born; when they dispersed, death occurred.

As he turned the yellowed pages, a line of ancient and weathered handwriting caught his eye.

Soon, the contents of the book were all imprinted in his mind, but he still had no clue what they meant, so he could only ponder and analyze them again and again.

Time flew by and it was already past eleven o'clock. Su Chen casually tossed the Xuan Yang Heart Sutra onto the bed and then released his spiritual energy.

At this moment, the sound of snoring could be heard from inside the tent. Koinuichiro sat alone in front of the fire, his hands supporting his chin as if he was about to fall asleep.

He picked up a small stone from the ground and threw it at Hatoyama's head.

With a thud, the pebble landed right on Ichiro Koinu's head, instantly waking him up from his drowsy state.

"Who! Who is this? Come out here! I see you! If you don't come out, I'll shoot!"

He jumped to his feet, gripped his rifle tightly with both hands, looked around, and shouted loudly.

"what happened!"

"what happened!"

Hatoyama's shout immediately woke up the others in the tent, who quickly rushed out, their bright flashlights flashing back and forth.

"I don't know either, someone just threw a rock at my head."

Using the flashlight, I looked around, but found nothing.

"Why would someone throw stones at you in the middle of the night? You must be dreaming. Alright, alright, go back to sleep. I'll keep watch for the rest of the night."

Looking at his watch, it was already 11:20. He figured he wouldn't be able to sleep if he went back to the tent, so Hatoyama yawned twice and gestured for Koinu Ichiro to go to bed.

In the latter half of the night, Hatoyama was hit on the head three times by rocks. At first, the people in the tent would nervously come out to check, but the last time, not a single person came out.

It wasn't until dawn that several Japanese soldiers emerged from the tent, sporting dark circles under their eyes, which amused Su Chen, who was hiding in the space.

The listless group ate a little something and then set off down the mountain valley.

Following these people at a distance, they finally arrived at a secluded valley around dusk.

"According to the map, this should be the place. Go down a few hundred meters from here, and there's a cave. The treasure is inside the cave."

Standing at the entrance to the valley, Hatoyama and his companions showed excited expressions, and the fatigue from the journey was instantly swept away.

"Damn it, those beasts all deserve to die!"

After the group entered the valley, Su Chen also arrived at the entrance. Suddenly, he discovered that there were more than a dozen skeletons lying haphazardly under the vines and weeds in the valley. They looked to be quite old. The further he went in, the more skeletons he found. In the end, Su Chen estimated that there were more than a hundred corpses.

No wonder Sun Dalei said that none of the strong men who transported the treasure returned; it turned out that the Japanese were afraid that the location of the treasure would be revealed, so they killed them all.

"This should be the place. Move these rubble aside, and you'll find the cave behind it."

Upon reaching the deepest part of the valley, Hatoyama and his group cleared away all the vines and weeds, revealing a pile of rubble in front of them.

With the combined efforts of several Japanese soldiers, it took them less than two hours to clear all the stones from the cave entrance.

"Finally finished moving everything. I'm exhausted. Hatoyama, hurry up and get the key and open the door."

Koizumi Ichiro slumped onto a nearby rock, glanced at the heavy iron door in the cave, and said weakly.

Hatoyama took out a key that was more than 20 centimeters long from his backpack, and then took out a gas mask. After putting it on, he walked to the iron gate with the key.

"Be careful, I'm about to open it."

Looking back, he saw that the others had retreated to a safe distance, and Hatoyama inserted the key into the lock on the iron gate.

Crunch!Crunch!

The key was turned forcefully, producing a dull mechanical turning sound. Then, the door slowly opened a crack, and a putrid smell wafted out. After a few minutes, everything returned to normal.

"Quick, drive in and see how much treasure we have. We're going to strike it rich this time!"

Seeing the door open, Koinu Ichiro shouted excitedly.

Whoosh!

puff!

Hatoyama pushed the iron gate open forcefully, and just as he was about to step inside, he saw a sharp arrow shoot from a distance, piercing directly into the back of his head.

"Who goes there! Come out right now, or we'll shoot!"

The sudden scene startled Ichiro and his companions, who quickly hid behind a rock, gripping their rifles and cautiously searching for the bushes ahead.

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Two more arrows flew from a distance. Koinuichiro, who had just peeked out to observe the situation, was struck directly in the forehead by an arrow. The arrowhead pierced through Koinuichiro's head and emerged from the back.

"Quick! Get into the cave!"

Before they even saw the enemy, three of them were already dead, which terrified the remaining few, who hurriedly ran into the cave.

Just as the group was about to reach the cave, two more arrows were shot at them.

"Quick, close the door! Quick!"

The four people who escaped into the cave hurriedly and tightly closed the iron gate.

The moment the iron gate closed, the group of people finally breathed a sigh of relief. For a moment, the dark cave was silent, with only the sound of their rapid, pounding heartbeats audible.

After about two or three minutes, Yamamoto Jiro finally spoke in a low voice.

"Who are they? Could they be from the trading company? I wonder what's going on outside. Matsui-kun, what's wrong? Are you a human or a ghost? I have a gun, I'm not afraid of you..."

boom! boom! boom!

Suddenly noticing that Matsui's expression was very strange, Yamamoto Jiro turned his head and followed his gaze, and couldn't help but scream in fright.

In a panic, the four men immediately raised their rifles and opened fire in that direction.
