Female Novel

Mount White.novelbin
Blake had hidden his treasure in a location surrounded by steep mountains and dense forests. There
was no flat ground for helicopters to land.
Thus, the helicopters had to land slightly far away from the exact location.
The forest roads were difficult to traverse as they were covered in plants and tree roots. While
advancing, the team had to constantly cut and chop off whatever was in their way.
The journey was supposed to take five hours, but James and his party took eight to nine hours.
It was already dark when they reached the cavern’s vicinity.
Blake pointed at the cavern’s entrance and said, “It’s inside. Should we transport them tonight or rest
for the night?”
“Can we transport them all at once?” James asked.
Blake looked at the hundred soldiers accompanying them and nodded. “Probably.”
James thought about it for a while.
The mountain roads were challenging to span, especially at night. He did not want to exhaust the
soldiers. Hence, he said, “Let’s rest here for the night and transport them at dawn.”
Daniel immediately instructed the soldiers, “We’re resting here tonight.”
The soldiers started to settle down.
James looked at Blake and said, “Let’s go and take a look inside.”
“Alright.” Blake nodded.
James turned to Daniel and ordered, “Stay here on guard, General Highsmith.”
“Okay.” Daniel nodded.
James picked up a flashlight and entered the cavern with Blake.
The entrance of the underground cavern was relatively small and was covered by the surrounding tree
branches.
Upon entering the cavern, they found that it was large and extended in various directions.
As Blake was familiar with the route, he led James deeper into the cavern. After about an hour, they
reached deep inside the cavern.
They came to a stop at a stone wall.
Blake pointed at the wall and said, “Back then, I hired a lot of people to help me build this secret
underground room.”
With that being said, he walked over and pushed the wall.
Dust began to fall, and the stone wall parted. The two fanned the dust away and walked inside.
James took out his flashlight and illuminated the place.
The space inside was not huge, but numerous wooden boxes covered in dust were stacked on the
ground. James walked over and casually opened a box. Inside were gold bars.
He picked up a piece and weighed it in his hand. After feeling the heavy weight of the gold bar, James
smiled. “Not bad.”
Blake looked at the pile of boxes and sighed. “I’ve covered my hands with too much blood. I wanted to
keep these treasures buried underground forever and never intended to return.”
“I’ll be using these to save lives. Take your giving it to me as an act of repentance. Maybe you won’t
end up in hell after death,” James teased.
“That’s enough. Stop joking. Let’s head out first and come back tomorrow morning.”
“Alright.” James nodded.
Now that they had confirmed the existence of the treasures, they only had to transport them out at
dawn.
James was thinking of exchanging them for money after bringing them back to Cansington.
The two walked out of the cavern.
They sped up on their way out and arrived at the entrance in about ten minutes.
When the two left the cavern, they saw that a few trees had already been cut down to free up an area
for a few campfires.
James immediately warned the team, “Please be careful. This is a primary forest. It’ll be troublesome if
a fire starts.”
Daniel stood up and said with a smile, “Don’t worry, James. We’re watching the fires. Nothing will go
wrong.”
“Just be careful,” James reminded.
The forest trees had thick leaves, and if a fire were to spark, it would spread rapidly through the forest
and be hard to distinguish.
Daniel shouted to remind the soldiers, “Don’t slack, guys! Make sure the forest doesn’t catch on fire!”
“Yes, sir!” The soldiers replied in unison.
James also sat down in front of a campfire.
