Over time, the tripartite expedition has progressed deeper into the Cocos Island rainforest, passing at higher altitudes.

The further you go into the rainforest, the darker the light becomes!

Like other tropical rainforests, trees are dotted with trees that reach tens or even hundreds of meters in height, and they are all the winners of the competition for survival!

In order to absorb as much sunlight as possible, these trees have a very dense canopy, like a huge cover, which almost completely obscures the sky above everyone's heads, making it difficult for sunlight to penetrate.

It's daytime and the sun is shining and the sky is cloudless outside, but the depths of the rainforest on Cocos Island are like a different world!

For the sake of safety, some of the members of the tripartite joint exploration team have turned on a flashlight to light the way forward!

The depths of the rainforest are more diverse than the edges of the rainforest!

On both sides of the path, there are huge trees that have grown for hundreds of years and towering into the sky, as well as countless vines that cling to these trees, entwined vines around the trunks, and all kinds of exotic flowers and plants.

Among these trees and flowers, there are countless animals, large and small, large and small, large and endangered lizards unique to Cocos Island.

In addition, there are many colorful and melodious birds dancing in the jungle as if no one was around!

All these animals and plants live in harmony in this tropical rainforest, dependent on each other, living freely, and composing a colorful movement about life!

Walking through this rainforest, everyone is in high spirits and full of energy, just like this vibrant rainforest!

Enjoying the picturesque scenery and listening to the chirping of birds, everyone trekked through the rainforest to Mount Jimenez in the distance!

Fortunately, the rainforests of Cocos Island are montane rather than plain rainforests like the Amazon, and the ground here is relatively solid, and there are few dangerous swamps and quagmire!

Walking in this tropical rainforest, you don't have to worry about suddenly falling into a swamp or being swallowed by a quagmire hidden under fallen leaves, and the danger factor is undoubtedly much lower!

Moreover, the road that everyone has taken has been walked by countless people in the past few hundred years, and it has already been trampled out by predecessors with their lives, and it is relatively safe.

Even so, walking in this dark rainforest, everyone still does not dare to take it lightly and always maintain a certain state of vigilance!

Because no one knows what they will encounter in the next second, what dangerous animals will come out of the dense jungle on both sides, dare to be careless?

"Goo-goo-goo-"

Amid the moving chirping of birds, the tripartite joint exploration team continued to move forward.

At this time, Ye Tian had already retreated to the middle of the exploration team, chatting with Professor Douglas while walking forward, in a very relaxed state.

In front of the team, it had been replaced by Pique and a Raytheon buddy, with Mattis a few steps behind and in the center.

"Steven, two or three kilometers further on, we will be at the foot of Mount Jimenez, where we should go next, can you tell everyone?"

Professor Douglas turned his head to look at Ye Tian and said, his eyes were full of anticipation!

"That's right, Steven, we're all here, can we tell you where the real treasure of Lima is buried?

Professor Johnson, also from Columbia University, continued, and he also looked at Ye Tian with anticipation, expecting to hear the answer he wanted.

But, once again, they were disappointed!

"I'm so sorry, Professor Douglas, Professor Johnson, for disappointing you! I still can't tell you where the real treasure of Lima is buried, it's not time yet!

Don't worry, you're sure to see the treasures of Lima today, and see the dazzling gold and silver treasures, as long as Captain Thomson does bury the treasures of Lima on Cocos Island!

When the joint exploration team arrives at the foot of Jimenez Mountain, I will tell you what to do next, and lead everyone to the location where the treasure is buried, and you will know when the time comes!"

Ye Tian shook his head with a chuckle and said, rejecting the two Columbia University professors.

"Alas!"

The two professors sighed in unison, both looking a little disappointed.

"Gotcha! Let's keep tormenting! Steven, you cunning fellow, your mouth is so tight, you don't leak a breath!"

Professor Douglas said angrily, his face full of helplessness.

Professor Johnson was the same, looking at Ye Tianzhi and rolling his eyes, but he was helpless!

As soon as the words fell, Ye Tian, who was originally walking normally, suddenly took a big step forward, and then stretched out his right hand like lightning and slapped the right shoulder of the blonde beauty Joyna in front of him!

Seeing his action, the two Columbia University professors were a little surprised, and they didn't understand what he meant by doing this!

"Smack!"

Ye Tian's palm slapped Joyna's shoulder accurately, making a crisp sound!

With his movements, two black grasshoppers, about four or five centimeters long, fell off Joyna's shoulders and landed on the ground!

Immediately after, Ye Tian quickly raised his foot and stepped forward, and trampled the two jungle vampires to pieces with one kick.

At the same time, Joyna had turned her head and asked in surprise:

"Steven, what's the matter?"

Ye Tian raised his right foot, pointed to the corpses of the two grasshoppers with his finger, and said with a smile:

"It's nothing, I just saw two grasshoppers fall from the leaves and land on your shoulders, and my hands are itchy for a while, so I directly helped you solve them!"

Seeing the two sparse locust corpses on the ground, Joyna couldn't help but shudder, and a hint of fear flashed in her eyes!

"Thank you, Steven, for finding these two horrible creatures in time, otherwise, I would have been out of luck!"

Joyna said in fear and expressed her gratitude.

Before the words fell, the blonde beauty also stepped forward and stomped viciously on the corpses of the two locusts, as if taking revenge!

"You're welcome, Joyna, it's just a gesture, but you also have to be vigilant, there is a lot of danger here, don't be plotted by these dangerous little things, that's not a good thing!"

Ye Tian said with a chuckle, reminding the golden beauty in front of him!

"Got it, Steven, I'll be careful!"

Joyna nodded, ending the conversation.

Everyone continued to move forward, and in the blink of an eye, they had walked a distance of twenty or thirty meters.

Suddenly, Matisse's voice came through the headphones, and he listened to it quite excitedly.

"Cook's idiots have been fooled!" Steven, judging from the GPS location information, those idiots were led to the east by the trap I laid and searched down the fork in the road to the east!"

"Hahaha, it's a bunch of hopeless fools! Just let them wander around the rainforest, maybe it's a good thing for them!"

Ye Tian chuckled and whispered, with a bit of disdain in his eyes.

A few hundred meters behind the joint exploration team, Cook was trekking through the rainforest with a dozen of his men, one by one cautious, not daring to make any loud noise.

"Reed, are you sure that Steven's bastards are going in this direction?

Cook crept forward as he whispered to his men.

"That's right, boss, it's definitely in this direction, I found the mark left by those bastards!"

The guy named Reed said, categorically, looking very confident!

"Just be sure, let's keep going, the treasure of Lima belongs to Lao Tzu, and it definitely doesn't belong to Steven's damn bastard!"

Cook said through gritted teeth, his eyes flashing with greed and unforgettable hatred!

Then, these idiots from Los Angeles chased down the trail to the east without hesitation, with the dream of making a windfall!
