Chapter 3315: Chapter 3307: The Divine Object of the Sennar Tribe
Lin Yi gazed intently.
It seemed to be over 200 meters in a straight line.
Then, he turned around to look at the tribe behind him, as well as the place he was at.
This should be where they carry out their daily activities.
Under normal circumstances, anyone standing here should be able to see the cave on the high ground.
And someone would definitely go over there to explore.
In this way, the cave isn’t really a secret.
Whether or not to go there depends on the person’s mood.
Thinking of this, Lin Yi took out the communicator and dialed Qiu Yuluo’s number.
"Hello."
"When you arrived at the Sennar Tribe, did you see a cave on the high ground?"
"A cave..."
Qiu Yuluo muttered.
"I saw it, but we were busy with a mission at the time and didn’t pay much attention. Is there an issue there?"
"I don’t know either. I just saw it and plan to go take a look," Lin Yi said:
"Also, ask the chieftain to see if they know anything about this cave."
"So, you’re convinced there’s something else in the tribe that we overlooked, which was taken away by that security company called Jinshui."
"There’s a high possibility."
"Alright, you guys go check it out. I’ll return to the camp now and inquire about the chieftain’s situation."
"Okay."
After hanging up with Qiu Yuluo, Lin Yi continued observing the surroundings.
But there were no other findings, just that small cave standing out.
After about ten minutes, a team gathered around Lin Yi, holding a clay tablet.
There were symbols and writings on it.
"Boss, some of the writings resemble those on the island."
Lin Yi took the tablet and examined it carefully; there were indeed some similarities.
But they couldn’t be considered crucial clues.
One could even say the things left behind might be unimportant.
Placing the tablet aside, Lin Yi pointed to the cave on the small hillock and said:
"Let’s go take a look."
The team got ready to move.
Crossing the stream in front, they quickly arrived at the foot of the hill.
The height was about twenty meters, but not too steep.
For rock climbing enthusiasts with a bit of skill, this would pose no problem.
To the team, it was even less of an issue.
One after another, they climbed up.
Lin Yi stayed behind, watching their rear.
Once everyone was up, Lin Yi followed suit.
The entrance to the cave was larger than expected.
About three meters high and over two meters wide, two adults could walk side by side with no problem.
Once inside, the cave opened up, extending over ten meters, though it was somewhat damp and dark deep inside.
Turning on a flashlight, they illuminated the cave interior.
They discovered that the rock walls were unnaturally smooth, carved with unreadable inscriptions.
"They look a bit like the writings on the island, but not quite," Zhang Chaoyue said.
"Look at this side, most of them seem very similar," Zhao Yunhu said from the other side.
Yu Siying ran her hand over the walls on both sides and said:
"They’re of different ages, likely carved at different times."
"And here!"
Luo Qi stood at the end of the cave, where there was a recess over half a meter high, about thirty centimeters deep.
The degree of smoothing was even finer than the surrounding rock walls.
Everyone gathered around, and Shao Jianfeng said:
"It feels a bit like a Buddha Shrine, meant to hold valuable items."
"You might actually be right."
Xiao Bing pointed with a dagger at something blackened on the ground.
"This thing looks like a decayed fruit. For the Sennar Tribe people, this might be where they worship their so-called god, and they bring forest fruits as offerings."
"From this perspective, the chieftain must know about this place," Sui Qiang said.
"I’ve already called Team Leader Qiu. Once I get details, they’ll pass on the message," Lin Yi said.
"If the divine object of the Sennar Tribe is really worshipped here, everything would align," Yu Siying added:
"The people from Jinshui Security Company might have distracted our second team, come here first, taken away the item inside, and after the second team left, killed all the tribe members for fear of the cave’s secrets being exposed."
Everyone nodded, agreeing with Yu Siying’s conjecture.
Based on everything at hand, the truth seemed about right.
"Should we look at these inscriptions again?" Zhao Yunhu suggested:
"The two sides are indeed different; there might be something hidden."
Lin Yi tapped on the old rock wall and said:
"Perhaps their tribe members visited Tilia Island and brought back inscriptions from the island, which is why they look similar. The other side must be a copy, with only some parts being similar."
"Now the focus is on uncovering what was placed here."
"Let Team Leader Qiu handle these matters," Lin Yi said:
"Check other places, see if there are any hidden compartments."
"Understood."
Everyone wielded their daggers, tapping continuously on the rock walls.
But found nothing.
"Let’s go, step outside and take a look," Lin Yi suggested:
"It’s probably going to get completely dark soon, so search the area thoroughly and stay in contact."
"Got it."
The team members subsequently climbed out of the cave, while Lin Yi stayed, standing at a high point, for a broad view.
He watched for a long time but did not find any other suspicious areas.
About an hour later, the team gathered back.
Zhang Chaoyue said excitedly:
"Boss, we caught something interesting."
Before seeing anyone, Zhang Chaoyue’s voice was already heard.
Soon, when he climbed up, Lin Yi saw he was holding a blue snake in his hands.
"Whoa, this is a blue coral snake, antibiotics are useless; if bitten, it’s deadly."
"I know, I’ve been pinching its mouth."
Zhang Chaoyue lifted the snake by its tail, "Boss, look, this critter has two tails. If we sold it to a zoo, it could fetch at least a million apiece."
"Two tails?"
Lin Yi leaned in and indeed saw that about three-quarters of the way down its body, another tail had grown out.
But it was only a dozen centimeters long, its overall appearance a bit odd.
"It’s rare to see such a mutated species," Lin Yi said:
"Toss it away; if it bites, it’s a death sentence."
"Alrighty."
With a flick of his hand, Zhang Chaoyue tossed the snake away, and Lin Yi asked:
"How about it? Any findings?"
"None, seems like this is the only odd spot around here."
"Then pack up; we’ll spend the night in the cave and head to the other two tribes early in the morning."
"Okay."
Buzz buzz buzz—
At this moment, Lin Yi’s communicator rang; it was a call from Qiu Yuluo.
