Chapter 4520 Chapter 4522 [Jungle Adventure]

During these years, Weatherby's health deteriorated and he eventually died.

Xiang Nan did not help him extend his life. For him, death was actually a good thing.

Weatherby's death made Elizabeth very sad for a time. After all, she lost her mother when she was very young, and it was her father who raised her single-handedly.

In order to prevent Elizabeth from being bullied after his second marriage, Weatherby did not remarry for so many years. In fact, given his identity, status and wealth, I don’t know how many people are willing to marry him.

Her father was so kind to her, and Elizabeth was so affectionate, so how could she not love him? Naturally, grief was unavoidable.

"Elizabeth, why don't we change the environment." Xiang Nan said to Elizabeth, "Let's go back to England or go somewhere else to relax."

He knows that traveling can help people relax. And Elizabeth herself is also a person who likes movement but dislikes silence. After the school in Jamaica was built, she volunteered to teach in the school.

"What about your job?" Elizabeth asked worriedly.

"I just resign." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said, "I was a rear admiral of the Royal Navy, and I can still hope to become a lieutenant general, an admiral, or even a marshal of the navy, and be awarded a title.

Now, no matter what I do, I am just the Sheriff of Jamaica, having risen to the top. And now that Weatherby is dead, they will definitely have to find a new head of state. By then, they don't know if they can get along with each other.

So I want to quit my job and take you around for a walk. We happen to have money and time. What do you think? "

He was not prepared to take over as Head of State of Jamaica, that had no appeal to him.

In fact, if it weren't for the fact that Governor Wetherby was willing to marry his daughter to him for the sake of being a good match, Xiang Nan would have resigned from the position of Sheriff of Port Royal long ago.

When Elizabeth heard this, she smiled and nodded.

Later, Xiang Nan bought a ship and hired a group of sailors, among whom Gibbs was the first mate.

Not only did Xiang Nan have a lot of money, he also inherited the inheritance from his father, Lawrence Norrington.

Lawrence Norrington was accidentally wounded while commanding a battle with the French navy at the beginning of the Seven Years' War, and eventually died for his country.

After his death, all the property of 200,000 pounds was inherited by Xiang Nan. Elizabeth also inherited Wetherby's entire estate, which amounted to approximately one hundred thousand pounds. At the time, it was considered a huge sum of money.

Therefore, they are fully capable of traveling around the world without worrying about money.

Under the guidance of Xiang Nan, they set out from Jamaica, first went west to the Yucatan Peninsula, and then set off all the way north along the coastline of North America.

This makes it easy to replenish fresh water and food, and also allows you to enjoy the scenery along the way.

Xiang Nan and the others first arrived in Cancun on the Yucatan Peninsula, where there were not only beautiful beaches but also the magnificent Quetzalcoatl Pyramid.

After Elizabeth heard about it, she wanted to see the pyramids. Although she has been in Jamaica for so long, she has actually never been anywhere except staying in Port Royal.

The sailors advised her not to take risks, because although it was said that there was a temple of Quetzalcoatl in the jungle, no one had ever found it, and everyone who looked for it died without exception, so they advised Elizabeth not to take risks.

Elizabeth was very adventurous and naturally refused to listen.

For this reason, Xiang Nan made a special oath to him in the name of the ocean goddess. …

Xiang Nan and Elizabeth immediately packed their bags and walked through the dense jungle to find the temple of Quetzalcoatl.

The jungle was densely populated with trees and vines, and there was no path at all, so Xiang Nan could only open the way with his machete.

Moreover, there are not only mosquitoes, flies, and venomous snakes in the jungle, but also local Mayans, guarding the surroundings of the Quetzalcoatl Pyramid to prevent outsiders from intruding.

Therefore, Xiang Nan and Elizabeth went through many hardships along the way. They were bitten by mosquitoes, almost bitten by venomous snakes, and even hunted by the Mayans...

But Elizabeth was not only not afraid, but instead aroused her desire to win and take risks, and finally they successfully reached the Quetzalcoatl Pyramid.

Of course, all this is thanks to Xiang Nan.

For example, those mosquitoes can transmit very serious diseases, such as malaria, encephalitis, dengue fever, yellow fever, filariasis, etc.

When ordinary people get these diseases in the jungle, they basically have no other option but to wait to die. But even though Elizabeth was bitten by a mosquito, she was quickly cured by Xiang Nan before the germ took hold.

Poisonous snakes, scorpions, poisonous spiders, etc. hidden in the dark were also discovered and eliminated by Xiang Nan in advance. As for being chased by the Mayans, they were able to escape smoothly, which was entirely due to Xiang Nan.

It was he who used his true energy to miss those arrows, which led to the fact that even though it looked like a hail of arrows and dangers, and he would be shot to death if he was not careful, no arrow hit either of them. In the end, Still able to escape safely.

Elizabeth thought it was a fluke, but it was actually Xiang Nan who silently protected her.

"Oh my God, this is really unparalleled art!" Standing at the foot of the Quetzalcoatl Pyramid, Elizabeth said while looking at the magnificent building.

She could not have imagined that those Indians, who looked so backward and primitive, could actually build such majestic and huge buildings in the jungle. It was really incredible.

"Yeah, I can't imagine how this temple was built. It's really amazing." Xiang Nandu said with emotion.

"Let's climb up and have a look." Elizabeth said enthusiastically.

"I think it's better not to use it. This is the temple visited by the Quetzalcoatl God Kukul. Legend has it that only Mayan priests can enter." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said, "We are outsiders and it will be dangerous to go up there."

"It shouldn't matter." Elizabeth was eager to give it a try, "Let's go up. I vaguely feel that there seems to be something calling us up there."

"Then we can't go up there. There may be ghosts up there, but I don't know for sure." Xiang Nan stopped him again.

"Then we have to see it more." Elizabeth said excitedly, "I haven't seen a ghost yet, nor have I seen any strange events. If I can really encounter a ghost, it will really open my eyes. ”

"Well, if I don't accompany you up, I think you will regret it for the rest of your life." Xiang Nan said with a smile.

"You really understand my thoughts." Elizabeth smiled, and then climbed up with Xiang Nan.

They climbed up the stairs to the top of Quetzalcoatl's pyramid.

"Wow~" Elizabeth was startled when she saw numerous white bones at the top of the pyramid, as many as hundreds of them. Stacked together, they look like hills.

There were so many skulls and empty eye sockets, staring at them silently, which made people shudder.

Elizabeth was completely unprepared to see so many skeletons, and was so frightened that her legs weakened on the spot. If Xiang Nan hadn't caught her in time, she would have almost rolled down the pyramid.
