Chapter 1143: Preparations Before the Battle (Make Up for the Debts)
In the cave where Lima's treasure was hidden, most of the members of the tripartite joint exploration team had already roped down and entered this cave!
After the initial shock, everyone quickly suppressed their excitement, adjusted their state, and then went their jobs and got busy.
Without exception, everyone in the cave was very excited, with a big smile on their faces, and everyone was in good spirits and full of energy!
Ye Tian is the same, he is leading the live broadcast reporting teams of three TV stations to introduce everything here to countless live broadcast audiences, introducing those dazzling and valuable gold and silver treasures and antique artworks.
"Look at this mask, which is a typical Indian antique artwork, with the image of a ferocious bird on the outside and a human figure on the inside, expressing the worship of birds by the Indians!
This is a sacrificial object, mainly used in religious ceremonies, wearing a mask to symbolize the mythical beast or demon, these patterns engraved on it, is the best proof, these are the patterns of sacrifice!
Compared to similar Indian masks that we have seen in the past, this mask is particularly precious, it is not an ordinary wooden mask, but a sterling silver mask, which can be said to be very rare!
Over the years, the mask has lost its original brilliance and looks a little blackened, but this is just a façade, and with a little cleaning, it can shine again!
In my personal judgment, this should be a mask from the Aztec civilization, which is more than 500 years old and has extraordinary artistic value, and is an antique work of art worth collecting!
The National Museum of Mexico has a similar sterling silver mask, and if you compare the two masks together, you will see that they have a lot of similarities!"
Ye Tian pointed to an Indian mask that had just been cleaned up, and explained endlessly, very professional and full of confidence!
The members of the tripartite joint exploration team are carefully cleaning up the gold and silver treasures and antique works of art that have flowed out of the broken wooden boxes and scattered on the ground!
The other treasures that are packed in intact boxes will not be opened for cleaning for the time being.
After cleaning up these treasures scattered on the ground, everyone will transport all the gold and silver treasures in the cave to the Lürssen superyacht, and then open them one by one!
Hearing Ye Tian's explanation, everyone at the scene couldn't help but have a trace of admiration in their eyes.
Especially professionals such as Professor Delgado and Professor Douglas secretly gave Ye Tian a thumbs up and appreciated it!
The shadow of the tree of human fame! Sure enough, it was not given for nothing!
Steven is worthy of being the top antique art appraisal expert, with a sharp eye to the extreme, there seems to be no antique art in this world that he doesn't know!
Whether it is the origin of this bird-shaped mask, the artistic style, or the age information, etc., the appraisal opinions he gave are extremely accurate and there is no controversy!
It's an encyclopedia of antique art!
Several well-known Latin American historians have secretly sighed, and even a little frustrated with their own shame!
"Wow! Steven, your explanation is so professional and eye-opening! Can you tell us how much you value this Indian mask? I'm sure everyone is very concerned about this!"
Kevin exclaimed, then asked curiously.
Everyone at the scene looked at Ye Tian, everyone was very curious and looking forward to hearing his answers, including experts and scholars like Professor Douglas!
These experts and scholars may be able to give accurate appraisal opinions and understand the artistic value of this bird-shaped mask, but they do not necessarily understand the market value of this treasure!
For no other reason than because they don't know what the antique art market is all about!
So they were also very curious, wanting to hear what kind of valuation Ye Tian would give!
However, everyone at the scene was disappointed and did not hear the answer they wanted!
"I'm so sorry, Kevin, and all the audience friends, but until the cleanup is completed, I can't give away the specific valuation of these antique artworks!
What I can tell you is that this is a very rare antique artwork, which is the evidence of the splendid Aztec civilization that has survived in the world, and it is very rare, and the market value must be very high!"
Ye Tian chuckled and shook his head, giving an ambiguous answer.
"I'll go! It's a secret again, Steven, your mouth is too tight!
There was a sigh at the scene, and everyone could only look at Ye Tian helplessly, but there was nothing they could do.
Then, Ye Tian continued to move forward with three live TV teams, ready to introduce the treasures scattered on the ground on the other side.
Just then, Kenny's voice suddenly came through the headphones.
"Steven, those guys who are following the joint exploration team have advanced to the edge of the mantrap rainforest, and it is estimated that it won't be long before those guys will break out of the range of the mantrap vines.
Compared to when they first entered the Trapper Rainforest, the number of those guys has decreased a lot, some are afraid of death and flee the way they came, and some guys have become fertilizer to nourish the trapper vine!
Cook and his gang of idiots are still there, and in that man-hunting vine rainforest, they have paid a total of seven lives, which can be described as heavy casualties, and it is not easy to hold on until now!
By monitoring the communications of those guys, it can be heard that Cook's guy has fallen into a state of near madness, and the rest of the idiots are also completely irritated by the Lima treasure!
It's time for you to prepare, don't be caught off guard by those crazy guys, Raymond and they're already on board the helicopter, ready to take off and go to Cocos Island to support you!"
Hearing Kenny's announcement, Ye Tian immediately interrupted his explanation and walked quickly towards the entrance of the cave.
As he went, he whispered through his invisible headphones:
"Got it, Kenny, we'll be ready to take on the self-killed guys, and you continue to monitor their every move and keep you informed!"
"Understand, Steven, don't worry, those fools will never escape our surveillance, we know their every move!"
Kenny's excited voice came through the headphones again, full of confidence, and it sounded like it was about to fly!
After ending the call with Kenny, Ye Tian immediately whispered to Matisse through the headset:
"Mattis, did you hear Kenny's briefing?"
"Hear me, Steven! Not a word has been lost! Very complete!"
Matisse's voice was then heard, sonorous and powerful.
"That's good, inform all the guys on the top of the cliff and get everyone ready for battle! It doesn't take long for the battle to break out, and it will be very fierce!
After those guys rush out of the Trapper Rainforest, there are still two levels to pass, and then they will storm the Discovery Horn Cliff, encounter everyone head-on, and start a fight!
Everyone must defend the cliff of Discovery Point, and never let those guys rush up the cliff, which will threaten the remaining members of the joint exploration team on the cliff top!
If they occupy the top of the cliff, it may threaten the people who have already entered the cave and disrupt this joint exploration operation, which is absolutely not allowed to happen!"
"Understand, Steven, everyone is ready, no one should try to rush to the Discovery Horn Cliff, this is our territory!"
"Just have faith! While guarding the cliffs of Discovery Point, you must also protect the remaining members of the joint exploration team on the top of the cliff and ensure their safety!
While those fools haven't broken out of the Trapper Rainforest yet, and there's still some time, you should hurry up and let the rest of the members of the joint exploration team rappel down into the cave!
It's safer here, and unless those fools have wings, it's impossible to attack the people in the cave and rappel them, it's a self-defeating attack!
While you speed up the speed of rope dropping, you must also pay attention to safety, and you must not ignore safety issues because of the pursuit of speed, then the gains outweigh the losses!"
"Got it, Steven, we must pay attention to safety, in addition to the guys who are waiting for the battle, there are more than a dozen people left on the cliff top, maybe we can finish the rope landing before those guys in the back attack!"
"Inform all the guys, we still have the same strategy as before, don't fire first, wait for those idiots in the back to take the initiative to attack, and then we will fight back!
Once the counterattack is launched, everyone must not show mercy, you can kill as much as you want, and send those fools to hell! Let them go to hell to snatch the treasure of Lima!
One more thing, you inform the Costa Rican police to have their helicopters take off, provide us with air support and cover, and slow down the onslaught of those idiots.
It would be even better if you could suppress the firepower of those idiots! Costa Ricans are the landlords here, so they can't just stay around and watch the fun!
Prepare yourself, and when the next group of rappelling joint exploration team members come down, I'll rise to the top of the cliff and fight alongside you to teach those fools a lesson!"
"You don't have to go up to the top of the cliff, do you? Steven, just leave it to us here, we can deal with the idiots who come after us, and send them to hell, and you better stay in the cave!"
"I believe you have such ability, but, how can such a lively scene be without me, since I have caught up, of course I can't miss it, otherwise it would be a pity!
Besides, I'd love to experience what it's like to fight in the jungle, it's going to be a blast! I want to say hello to Cook's idiots and make them a memorable one!
After I get to the top of the cliff, I'll separate from you and choose to take the initiative and dive into the depths of the rainforest to have a good fight with the idiots behind me, and that's going to be fun!"
"Well, since you insist, that's it, I can foresee that those fools in the back will be unlucky, and in the next time, they will live in nightmares!"
Matisse chuckled and said, in a very relaxed state, not taking the upcoming battle seriously at all!
Then they said a few more words, and the two ended the call.
Immediately after, Ye Tian began to check the equipment he was carrying, preparing to rise to the cliff and enter the battle!
