Morning.

The Chris was quickly sailing on the sea.

Last night, in order to find the treasure island, everyone studied until eleven o'clock at night and finally found an island suspected to hold the treasure.

Perhaps the joy of soon finding the treasure made the treasure hunting team very excited. Despite sleeping late, they got up at five in the morning.

After washing, eating, checking the yacht and equipment, at six in the morning, they sailed the Chris towards the unnamed island suspected to contain the treasure.

An hour later.

The Chris arrived at the waters near the unnamed island.

That's right, it's indeed an unnamed island, and Luke and the others didn't even know if it belonged to America.

There are too many nearby islands, remote and unsuitable for habitation, few people visit them.

The indigenous people aren't as eager to explore as tourists; they're already used to it.

And some adventurous tourists, for various reasons, cannot reach the remote islands.

Of course, this might not be a bad thing for the unnamed island.

"I see it!" Lilith stood at the bow of the yacht, pointing excitedly at the nearby unnamed island.

Luke also walked to the bow of the yacht, looking at the increasingly larger island, feeling a bit excited, even though this was his third treasure hunt.

But from Lilith's description, the scale and value of this treasure far exceeded the previous two. Moreover, the Indian treasure left behind hundreds of years ago is more significant than the treasure left by the Finn family.

Now they were facing the first problem, how to land on the island?

Elsa Marin gave two options: the first was to find a natural harbor. If they could find a harbor for the yacht to dock, it would be the best choice.

But this relied on luck, and the chance was slim. Elsa Marin suggested spending an hour searching for a natural harbor, and if they couldn't find one, they'd go with the second option.

Take a kayak to the island.

Elsa Marin, being a native and the most experienced at sea, proposed this idea. Luke and the others didn't object and started looking for a natural harbor.

The requirements for a natural harbor are simple: the water needs to be deep enough, close to shore, free of silt and reefs, and ideally sheltered from the wind.

Meeting one of these conditions is easy, but having them all is difficult.

This is also a task requiring experience, so searching for a natural harbor was mainly Elsa Marin's responsibility.

The unnamed island wasn't large, roughly estimated at 100 acres, equivalent to more than sixty football fields.

Although the island wasn't big, it was covered with tall tropical trees, dense vegetation, impenetrable, making exploration challenging.

At Elsa Marin's request, the yacht circled around the unnamed island, and Elsa Marin chose a few suitable locations as potential harbor sites.

Then she took a kayak to inspect each location in person.

After spending more than an hour, they finally found a natural harbor suitable for the yacht to dock.

Under Elsa Marin's guidance, the yacht docked smoothly, and everyone officially landed on the unnamed island.

Before officially landing, Luke and the others made ample preparations, bringing as much treasure hunting equipment as possible.

Such as metal detectors, drones, walkie-talkies, compasses, weapons, digging tools, ample fresh water and food, first aid kits, etc.

Once everything was ready, the group disembarked from the northern dock of the unnamed island.

The northern side of the uninhabited island is a tropical rainforest, with tall trees, lush foliage, blocking out the sun. Once you go deep, it's easy to get lost.

Elsa Marin walked in front and turned back to the group behind her, saying, "From what we can see so far, there are no obvious traces of human activity on this island. This means this island is not suitable for habitation, and there may be potential dangers.

So everyone must be careful, don't get separated."

The girl with glasses said, "I've equipped everyone with walkie-talkies."

Elsa Marin cautioned, "Electronic devices aren't omnipotent here. To survive here, you must learn to respect nature."

Then the four of them collaborated, beginning their formal exploration of the island.

Elsa Marin was responsible for leading the way, while Lilith and the girl with glasses followed, using metal detectors to explore underground.

Luke carried the most equipment in his backpack, responsible for vigilance and safety from the back.

Their treasure hunting plan was to explore from north to south, landing on the cliffs on the island's east side because the west side's terrain and environment were more complex, saved for the last exploration.

The dense vegetation and entangled vines of the tropical rainforest, coupled with the scant presence of people, meant there wasn't even a passable path, requiring someone to lead the way in front.

Elsa Marin, leading in the front, often needed to use a machete to cut down obstructive vines and branches, which was also a physically demanding task. After about ten minutes, she was somewhat exhausted.

Then she and Luke switched roles; she carried a pack and maintained vigilance from the rear, while Luke led the way in front.

The machete was sharp, making it easy to cut branches and vines, but the hard part was continually chopping, which made his arm muscles very fatigued.

After about twenty minutes, Luke also began to tire.

This made Luke admire Elsa Marin's stamina and endurance a bit; it wasn't easy for a woman to keep going for over ten minutes.

If it were Lilith and the girl with glasses, they probably wouldn't last even five minutes.

"Beep beep..." Suddenly, the metal detector emitted a sound.
