“Luo Feng,” the voice chimed in, “I must inform you that, just moments ago, an airline rented out more than a dozen helicopters.”

“Who rented them?” Luo Feng inquired, intrigued by the recent developments.

The border patrol captain, ever aware of the events unfolding, replied, “It was the people from the Sakura Nation who entered the mountain.”

Luo Feng was puzzled, “These people? They entered the mountains recently, right? Upon learning that I had excavated the gold, they should descend the mountain, not hire even more helicopters for it.”

The captain replied, “I am unsure of their motives, but this situation seems quite unusual. Considering the circumstances, they are probably targeting you.”

“Targeting me?” Luo Feng could hardly believe it. According to the common belief, Changbai Mountain was devoid of gold.

His mind raced back to the telegraph he had seen. Was it possible that someone else had read it too?

After some time, a new voice spoke up, “Mr. Luo Feng, those helicopters landed not far from us.”

Upon hearing the news, a sly smile crept onto Luo Feng’s face. Were they indeed after him?

Pondering, he wondered whether his continued search in the mountain had led the opposing party to believe that there was more gold in Changbai Mountain. Alternatively, it could have been old, retired soldiers who, knowing the secret, had informed the officials in Sakura Nation.

With a laugh, Luo Feng said, “However, these military fortresses, the original hiding places for the gold, were never officially documented and surely weren’t built in typical locations.”

“It would be impossible for them to locate the fortresses based on standard military construction principles because they were built specifically to evade detection. In other words, what they’re doing is tantamount to searching for a burial mound using Feng Shui, but these places were intentionally hidden and didn’t follow Feng Shui.”

Luo Feng considered this with no concern. Originally, he had planned to continue the search for the gold leisurely, providing the team a few days’ rest.

However, the current urgency made him reconsider. He had to act quickly.

“Captain Li, I must leave immediately. Please oversee the remaining tasks,” Luo Feng said, not wanting to keep his cards hidden any longer.

“Pardon?” Captain Li looked at him, puzzled.

Luo Feng clarified, “It’s simple. The gold of the Tsar wasn’t merely 200 tons, but more than 500 tons. The remainder is still in Changbai Mountain. I believe the Sakura Nation people rented those helicopters to avoid missing this opportunity. I need to reach there before them and find the remaining gold.”

As Luo Feng spoke, he noticed Captain Li’s wide-eyed surprise. His revelation had clearly sent ripples of shock among his team.

“Luo Feng… Is this true? Are there still a few hundred tons of gold left?” Su Meiji, in utter disbelief, asked.

“Of course. Otherwise, why would they go to such lengths as to rent more than a dozen helicopters?” Luo Feng chuckled.

Captain Li immediately pledged his support, “Mr. Luo Feng, if there’s anything you need from us, do let us know. We’ll assist you however we can.”

Grateful, Luo Feng replied, “No assistance is required for now. Just help manage the aftermath at the two military fortresses. After all, these are not ancient tombs requiring archaeologists.”

Qin Rubing looked at Luo Feng seriously, “Should we split up to increase efficiency? You can direct everyone online and teach them how to find military fortresses.”

Luo Feng shook his head, a slight smile playing on his lips, “No need.”

By this time, evening was fast approaching, and darkness would soon fall over Changbai Mountain. In the deepening dusk, Luo Feng quietly ordered, “Initiate Level Ten Scan.”

This high-level scan required a significant amount of Reputation Points, which Luo Feng typically hesitated to use. After a long wait, the extensive scan started to run. It needed time due to its broad range.

While waiting, Luo Feng glanced at the barrage of comments in the livestream chat and spoke up, “Those from the Sakura Nation, have now deployed over three hundred people to search. I must beat them to it and find the gold. My friends, give me strength, lend me your encouragement!”

Based on the gold hoarded in the previous two military fortresses, Luo Feng conducted a rough analysis. The remaining 300 tons of gold could either be divided among three military fortresses or just two. If there were three fortresses, each could potentially hold 100 tons. Alternatively, if there were two, each could contain 150 tons. There was also a possibility that one held 100 tons and another, 200 tons.

“Good heavens, Changbai Mountain is so vast, how do we go about searching? Even with your encouragement, it seems insurmountable!” came a comment from the livestream.

“Could we use Feng Shui to find the military fortresses?” asked another..
