An Exciting Treasure-hunt Journey

Last year, Dickson, who was a famous explorer, got a treasure map. He wanted to find that treasure, so he invited his friends, Goby, Mathew, Max, Henry, Martin and Yip to help him. They promised Dickson to join the team.

One day, four avaricious assassins and thieves, Ryan, Jason, Daniel and Owen, wanted to kill Dickson and steal his treasure map. One evening, those bad guys brought some toxic chemicals, sulphuric acid and sodium hydroxide, and tried to use them to kill Dickson. When they saw Dickson went out of his house, they all got off the car and threw the toxic chemicals to him. Dickson ran as fast as he could and kept himself safe. After that, he took out his revolver and shot them. Unfortunately, the bad guys were safe and escaped. Since Dickson was angry, he used alchemy to attack them. Then, all the bad guys fell down. Dickson went away. Why could Dickson use alchemy? It was because he was an alchemist three years ago.

A week later, Dickson and his friend started their journey. The treasure was in a rainforest in Amazon. They brought some guns, grenades and some other weapons with them. On their way, they knew that some people were following them.

When they arrived at the entrance of the treasure hole, somebody used a machine gun, a shotgun and an automatic rifle to shoot them. Then Goby used alchemy to make a wall to protect the team and Mathew used the smoke bomb to cover them.

After that, they ran into the hole and started their exploration. On the way, they discovered there were lots of skeletons on the ground. Therefore, they walked slowly and carefully.

Suddenly, Max heard a strange voice coming from the underground. Everybody was frightened, taking the torches out of their bags. The environment was much brighter then. They saw a big centipede and shouted, ¡¥It's incredible!' They then used their shotguns to shoot that disgusting organism. Next, they continued their journey. They went to the further part of the hole and unceasingly shot that centipede. When they arrived at the end of the hole, Henry used the napalm to attack that disgusting centipede. Finally, it died. All people said, ¡¥Hurray!'

However, they had not found the treasure yet. At that moment, Yip yelled, ¡¥Hang on, let's see what I've found!' All of them shouted together, ¡¥ Goodness gracious! It is a door.' Dickson said, ¡¥Oh, good job everybody, let's go into the door and start our journey again.'

Then, they walked along to that secret tunnel. At the end of the tunnel, they saw an ¡¥artificial human', which was a failure of the duplicate of a dead man. It was like a human. In fact, it could be a monster or a human. It was hard to kill. It had to be killed by the bone of its corpse or to be sealed in the abyss. Martin and Max started to shoot the creature and the other people used grenades, except Goby and Dickson. They both used alchemy to attack it.

Suddenly, the four assassins appeared and shouted, ¡¥Hi, everybody, nice to see you again. Today, we have to kill you, take your map and find the treasure.' After hearing that, Dickson became very angry so he summoned some mummies and a werewolf to kill them. One of the mummies mummified Owen and Jason. At last, the ¡¥artificial human' devoured those four assassins' hands and sliced their heads. Dickson and Goby then used alchemy to seal it in abyss.

Finally, a door opened by itself and all the treasure was inside. There were lots of gold and jewellery. Everybody shouted, ¡¥ Oh, my goodness sake!' Since there was too much treasure, they only took ten percent for themselves and the remaining ninety percent was given to the government. Everybody could buy two small islands, a big house, a splendid car and a luxurious boat.

As they were so kind to their country, the president assigned them to be lieutenants, except Dickson and Goby because they would be alchemists of the country. Their job was to teach the army to use alchemy to protect their homeland. Everybody was very happy. It was the most exciting event in their life that they would never forget.
