"Steven, it's not like we didn't suspect the discovery of the Horn Cliff, we've explored it by helicopter more than once before, but found nothing!

There are no caves in this cliff at all, how could Captain Thompson hide the Lima treasure here?

Professor Delgado said bewildered, with even some disappointment in his eyes.

In his opinion, this joint exploration operation may be about to fail, and everyone will find nothing, and the hard work will be in vain, just like several previous attempts to find the treasure of Lima!

Ye Tian glanced at the historian, then said with a smile:

"Professor Delgado, the treasure map of the Lima Treasure in my hand is undoubted, I am very sure of that, and I will soon prove it.

There are a lot of questions in everyone's minds, and they are doubting the authenticity of this treasure location, and next, I will answer these questions one by one, you can listen patiently!"

"Okay, Steven, we're listening"

Everyone responded in unison, all looking at Ye Tian expectantly.

Then, Ye Tian began to answer questions.

"Continuing with the topic just now, let's talk about the exact hiding place of Lima's treasure on the cliff of Discovery Point, you must have heard the sound of the waterfall, this sound is really beautiful!

Discovery Point Cliff Falls is one of the largest waterfalls on Cocos Island, and it is also the largest waterfall with the largest drop, from the top of Discovery Point Cliff Cliff straight to the sea, up to more than 180 meters, very spectacular!

The cave where the treasures of Lima are hidden, just behind the Discovery Point Cliff Waterfall, is located in the middle of the cliff, more than 80 meters from the top of the cliff and more than 100 meters from the sea, perfectly hidden by the waterfall.

Despite its small size, Cocos Island is full of rainforests and has abundant rainfall, with an average annual precipitation of up to 25 feet, waterfalls abound, and there are even more than 70 waterfalls at the peak of the rainy season!

Because of the abundance of fresh water, the famous pirates chose it as a supply depot, and the complex terrain made it an ideal place to bury their gold and silver treasures!

Originating from the main peak of Mount Jimenez and flowing through a large area of tropical rainforest, the Discovery Point Cliff Falls is so abundant that it probably never stops flowing even during the dry season, but I have never seen a record of it.

In this way, the cave hidden behind the waterfall is naturally impossible to be discovered, even if you fly a helicopter to the waterfall to observe, it is estimated that it is difficult to find the clues, and you have to be careful!

I don't know how Captain Thompson discovered this cave hidden behind the waterfall, but I can guess that he was lucky enough to find the cave by a rare encounter with the waterfall breaking down!

There is also a possibility that one of his pirates happened to know about the existence of this hidden cave and told Captain Thompson, so it became the perfect place to hide the treasures of Lima!"

"That cave is hidden behind a waterfall, it's so secretive! No wonder we haven't found it, and no one can find it without the real treasure map!"

Professor Delgado said with emotion, a little remorse flashing in his eyes.

The rest of Costa Ricans are all the same, everyone is a little remorseful, but there is nothing they can do.

If my own country had discovered this cave earlier, the treasure of Lima would have belonged to Costa Rica, and it would have been Steven's share!

Watching Steven, a ruthless guy wielding a big knife and slicing half of the Lima treasure away, felt heartache in vain, but there was nothing he could do.

That's hundreds of millions, or even billions of dollars, worth of gold and silver treasures, it's heart-wrenching to think about, who can afford it?

"Even though Captain Thompson and the others were lucky enough to catch the rare dry season of Discovery Horn Cliff Falls, how did they get the Lima treasure into that cave?

You know, the cave behind the waterfall is more than 80 meters from the top of the cliff, and the terrain is extremely steep, which was almost impossible to accomplish a hundred or two hundred years ago!

It's not close to walk from Weaver Bay, crossing the entire island, and the terrain is not only very undulating, but also full of dangers, and it must be not easy to transport the treasures of Lima here!

Considering all these factors, it seems that Captain Thompson and the others did not necessarily have to choose this place to hide the treasures of Lima in this cave! The project is too huge! It is too much of a toss!

Everyone knows that since the killing of the Spanish governor and the exclusive possession of the treasures of Lima, Captain Thompson and his men have become the target of public criticism and countless people.

With Captain Thompson's situation at that time, I am afraid that they would not dare to stay on Cocos Island for a long time and calmly hide the treasures of Lima, for them, escape is the first priority!"

Professor Douglas then asked, his eyes full of doubt.

This is also the answer to the question that everyone wants to know, and when they heard Douglas ask, everyone immediately looked at Ye Tian, looking forward to his answer.

Ye Tian glanced at everyone, then chuckled and said:

"You can imagine that if this hidden and anomalous cave does exist, would Captain Thompson and his pirates still care if the waterfall is cut off and if it is dry?

It's a rainforest, full of trees and dead branches, and with very little effort, they can temporarily change the direction of the stream at the top of the cliff and let the waterfall rush out of the cliff from somewhere else!

Once they have transported all the Lima treasures into the cave and hidden them, they can restore the stream to its original shape and allow the waterfall to cascade down from its original position, perfectly covering the cave behind the waterfall."

"Yes, it's not hard to do, and it doesn't take much time."

Professor Douglas nodded and agreed, agreeing with Ye Tian's explanation.

The rest of the people also nodded frequently, without any objections.

After a pause, Ye Tian continued:

"In the same way, once the cave is confirmed, there is no need for Captain Thompson and the others to carry a chest full of gold and silver treasures over the mountains and trek this way!

Undoubtedly, that is the most stupid way to do it! Not only is it time-consuming and labor-intensive, but it also has a very big safety risk, but anyone with some brains will definitely not do such a stupid thing.

Captain Thompson only needs to take a few men and the necessary equipment to land at Weaver Bay, and then drive quickly through the island's rainforest to this side!

Once they have reached Point of Discovery, changed the direction of the stream, and determined the location of the cave, they can signal their pirate ship to bypass Cocos Island and reach Point of Discovery.

Although the sea conditions on this side of the Cape are very complicated, and the big ships cannot dock, the small sampans have no problem, and they can use the small sampans to transfer the Lima treasure little by little and transport it to the bottom of the cliff.

Those pirates at the top of the cliff can use ropes to slowly descend along the cliff and enter the cave, and then use the ropes to hoist the treasures of Lima into the cave in batches and hide them!

This operation can be described as time-saving and labor-saving, if everything goes well, it is estimated that it will only take half a day, Captain Thompson, and they can hide the Lima treasure perfectly, and then go away!

Why did Captain Thompson kill all his men later? It goes without saying that it must be for the sake of secrecy, and with his ruthlessness and viciousness, how could he let those pirates under his command leave with secrets?"

"I'll go! This operation is really awesome, it's seamless! It's an eye-opener!"

Logan exclaimed directly, dancing excitedly.

The rest of the people were the same, and while they were shocked by Ye Tian's words, they also became more and more excited!

Each of them was eager to grow a pair of wings and fly down the cliff of Discovery Horn, into the cave hidden behind the waterfall, and bring the treasures of Lima back to life!

At that moment, it must be incomparably perfect, incomparably moving, and the whole world will be stirred by it!

"Steven, does this mean that we also need to change the direction of the stream next to us so that the waterfall rushes out of the cliff from another spot?

Next, let's be a spider man, use the rope to slowly hang down the cliff, and enter the cave to explore!

Professor Delgado asked, his face full of excitement.

"That's right, we're going to change the direction of the stream next to us and let the waterfall rush out of the city, it shouldn't take long to do it, and we've got all the equipment!"

If you can withstand the huge impact of the waterfall and not change the direction of the stream, you can follow us and experience the feeling of walking on the wall, it will definitely be very exciting!"

Ye Tian nodded lightly and said jokingly.

"Forget it! Our old bones can't stand the toss, it's the waterfall water that falls from a height of eighty or ninety meters, and it is estimated that it only takes one moment to kill us!

It's better to change the direction of the stream, and then slowly descend into the cave and explore the treasures of Lima, which is obviously safer, and there is no need to rush for a while!"

Professor Delgado shook his head with a smile and said that he had chosen the safest way.

"Well, it's safer to do this, Matisse and I can withstand the impact of the waterfall, but you don't.

Let's go to the edge of the cliff and see what is going on, and then we can go our separate ways, you have lunch, recharge your batteries, and let's go cast a temporary embankment!"

As he spoke, Ye Tian stepped out and walked towards the Discovery Corner Cliff.

The rest of the people followed, their eyebrows dancing with excitement and anticipation in their eyes.

"It's a downhill road, everyone must pay attention to their step, don't slip or stumble, I believe no one wants to ride a roller coaster and fly off the cliff of Discovery Point!"

Ye Tian reminded the others loudly as he walked.

"Hahaha"

Everyone laughed out loud, and the voices were very hearty!
