This witch calls me daddy

Chapter 516: Unsuccessful Treasure Hunt
Driving on a sandbank is a great test for vehicle performance.

Fortunately, the two of them had anticipated this before setting off. They picked a specially designed off-road vehicle that locals often use to go to the sandbank, loaded it with water and food, and entered the sandbank.

Soon the road became blurry and there was no clear path. I could only rely on navigation to find the direction and keep driving in the vast sea of ​​sandbanks.

This method of walking alone through the sandbank is very dangerous even for mature tribesmen. Only those herdsmen who run trade routes along the sandbank all year round have the ability to identify the direction in this seemingly identical sea of ​​sand.

Lu Ye was considered a very brave man, relying on his demigod-like physique to take Sophia into danger alone.

They left Modisha in the morning, and it was almost evening when they arrived at the Eye of the Sandbar. They made some simple supplies at the traveler's tent, entered the sandbar without stopping, and headed for the Hope Island, 162 kilometers away.

With nothing to do on the way, Lu Ye also contacted the girls at home to understand everyone's situation.

There are no special changes in Paradise Island. The investigation team is still continuing, and the online promotion is also continuing.

Although conspiracy theories have also appeared on the Internet, claiming that the so-called paradise island is a political persecution and a fabrication - this is obviously a counterattack by the ruling party.

However, with the release of more shocking videos, denunciation of the ruling party has gradually taken shape. The images of angry people marching on the streets were also filmed and widely publicized online.

This is a public opinion war in which reciprocity is reciprocated.

No matter how noisy the federation was, Lu Ye was more concerned about the situation of Shanshan and Anjie.

So, for the first time, he heard An Jie suing Shanshan...

"Dad! Sister Shanshan has been picking out clothes for two days! I am exhausted from being with her the whole time! Oh my god...she must have awakened her physical characteristics, otherwise how could she hold on!"

Lu Ye couldn't help but smile: "I'll teach you a secret that will allow you to go shopping with her to buy clothes without feeling tired!"

Anjie's voice was suspicious: "What's the secret?"

Lu Ye chuckled: "You buy it too! As long as you change your clothes, you won't feel tired!"

Anjie snorted after hearing this: "I think so, but Sister Shanshan only visits bridal shops..."

Lu Ye: "Uh... how about you also pick one and be the bridesmaid?"

Anjie: "No."

Lu Ye: "Come on, let's have a group wedding. It's a wedding for many people..."

Anjie: "I don't want it."

Lu Ye: "Why?"

Anjie: "..."

When Anjie said nothing, Lu Ye rolled his eyes wildly, wondering what his daughter was thinking about, but then he heard Anjie sigh:

"Does every woman turn into a fool before she gets married, spinning endlessly in front of the mirror?"

Lu Ye paused after hearing the words, and imagined Shanshan's appearance at this time, and a smile appeared on his face involuntarily: "Actually, no... As long as there are new clothes, women will become fools. It has nothing to do with whether they are married or not."

Anjie was silent for three seconds, said "annoying", and hung up the phone!
Lu Ye smiled heartlessly, causing Sophia to look sideways.

However, thinking that he and Shanshan were about to enter the next stage of life, Lu Ye's thoughts became more and more intense, hoping to settle things here as soon as possible and return home as soon as possible.

In this anxious mind, just before nightfall, the two finally saw the oasis that was small enough to be omitted on the map - the Island of Hope.

As the moonlight gradually unfolds, the sandbank seems to turn into white, and the oasis is like a clear pool on the white scroll, faintly glowing with silver.

Lu Ye drove slowly to the oasis, inspected the deserted oasis, and got out of the car alone. There is a wooden hut built by a nomadic tribe on the edge of the oasis, which seems to be for travelers to rest for the night, but there is no one there today.

Lu Ye checked around and found that there was neither gain nor danger, so he took Sophia down to see how her intelligence would show off.

The result made the two very disappointed, because Sophia did not find any clues.

This oasis is really too small. There is really nothing except a wooden house, three trees, a few bushes and a handful of oasis water.

This place is so small that there is no room to hide anything...

He tied a reinforced rope around his and Sophia's waists, and then split up, looking for any possible traces.

The two of them searched for more than two hours.

It wasn't until the residual heat of the day subsided and the low temperature of the sand sea made Sophia unbearable and hid in the car that the two of them stopped searching and returned to the car to make new plans.

Sophia shook up the ubiquitous sand all over her body and looked at the knight who was skillfully preparing self-heating food on the battlefield. She couldn't hide her disappointment: "Did... I guessed wrong?"

Lu Ye smiled indifferently: "It's normal that I can't find it. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been looking for it for nearly a hundred years and no one has found it."

Although it made sense in theory, Sophia was still a little unconvinced and hummed and said, "But I think my guess, reasoning and judgment are not wrong... Where will the problem arise?"

Lu Ye comforted him with a smile: "That's right, you're right, it's me who's wrong!"

Sophia didn't need his nonsense comfort: "You have nothing to do wrong... I did all the analysis and judgment..."

Lu Ye took the initiative to admit his mistake: "I still helped you solve the problem! I solved those two questions wrong...not 126, nor...162..."

Lu Ye's voice became softer and softer, and his expression became serious, as if he had thought of something.

Seeing this, Sophia looked at him curiously: "What did you think of?"

Lu Ye thought thoughtfully: "Maybe, I really made a mistake."

Sophia: "What's wrong?"

Lu Ye thought for a while and asked: "According to what you said, all countries were looking for this treasure during the final settlement. Everyone should have been closely interrogated, right? It is unlikely that someone who personally witnessed the placement of the treasure escaped the sanctions?"

Sophia thought for a while and nodded: "The Holy Religion at that time was also rampant in magic and clergy. I believe they would not let anyone who might know about it go away."

Lu Ye nodded: "Can that be understood as... maybe no one left the buried treasure back then?"

Sophia was startled when she heard this: "What do you mean...

Lu Ye pondered and then said: "According to the rules of our hometown, almost all those who helped the emperor deal with his funeral affairs were not left alive, in order to prevent anyone from thinking about the Wang family's treasure. So is it possible that everyone involved at that time was not alive?" Come out, but be buried in this yellow sand? "

Sophia's eyes were confused. This approach was still too harsh for the people from the north of the Western Continent. She could not imagine that many senior craftsmen, including her own soldiers, would have to be sacrificed in order to keep it secret...

"This is too cold-blooded..."

But Lu Ye had already picked up a pen and paper and started calculating again...

"If the last person walks towards the depths of the sandbank without leaving a way out on the 12th day... the final result will not be 18 days, but 36 days, and the distance reached will not be 162 kilometers, but 324 days." kilometers.”

Sophia frowned and picked up the map again...

From this starting point, if we continue to go 162 kilometers deeper into the sandbank, it will really be a dead end.
