Chapter 23: Shipwrecks on the Bottom of the Sea

After trying several methods, he still couldn't pull the anchor up, and Xia Feng didn't dare to use too much force, with his current strength, even if it was an iron chain, he couldn't bear it with all his might.

In desperation, he could only take off his coat and jump down with tools, after all, this is Zhou Li's boat, it is better to be safe.

After entering the sea, the feeling of being at home reappeared, and Xia Feng even suspected that he was more powerful at this time than when he was on the shore, and the feeling of being in control made him fascinated.

Because few people have set foot in the reef area, it is expected that there will be abundant fish, but the scene after entering the water is far beyond Xia Feng's estimates.

However, after just diving a few meters, he saw a lot of good goods that are rare on weekdays, if he wasn't worried about the anchor, Xia Feng couldn't help but want to catch some.

Fortunately, this place still belongs to the category of shallow sea, and a few minutes later, Xia Feng saw the anchor head from a distance, and when he looked at it from the outside, there seemed to be no abnormality, he did not hook any reef bottom, and he did not encounter obstacles.

After Xia Feng cleaned up the floating mud on the seabed around the anchor head, he finally found the real reason, which turned out to be a rotten mast at one end out of nowhere, and the metal cladding on it still had thick rust spots.

Seeing this, Xia Feng immediately remembered some ancient legends in the village, according to legend, a long time ago, because he didn't know the existence of this reef, many ships were shipwrecked here.

And because of the geographical environment, these shipwrecked ships can't even be salvaged, so some people say that there are a lot of treasures left on the bottom of the sea.

When Xia Feng was a child, there was even a treasure hunt here, and he didn't know if the treasure was found, but it is said that several new ship wrecks were added here.

Later, there were rumors that this was an ominous place, because those who died in distress were imprisoned by the sea god and stayed in this sea all the time.

So since then, few people have set foot here, and a few of them don't believe in evil, and most of them are also the fate of the ship's wreck, such as Zhou Li's husband.

Thinking of this, Xia Feng only felt that his back was cold, and the surroundings were pitch black, even if he had night vision, he was a little panicked.

So he untied his anchor head three times and divided five by two, and was about to turn around and swim back, when a green light suddenly appeared in his eyes, and then he thought of the legend about the treasure, but after all, he still couldn't suppress the curiosity in his heart.

Then Xia Feng cut away the floating mud along the mast, and finally found the true body of the green mang, which was a round green bead the size of a finger, warm in his hand, and felt quite comfortable, and there was a small hole at both ends of it.

It's a pity that according to Xia Feng's knowledge, he can't judge the material of the green beads, but just by the appearance, he knows that it is a good baby.

With this good beginning, the curiosity in Xia Feng's heart is even stronger, as a person who grew up listening to treasure legends, he also has a heart to hunt for treasures and make a fortune.

Thinking of this, Xia Feng immediately stopped hesitating, used both hands and feet, and dug all the way along the mast.

Two hours later, looking at the gradually clear outline of the wreck, Xia Feng's eyes almost dropped his jaw in shock, because judging from the exposed part alone, the whole ship was probably more than thirty meters.

What's even more strange is that most of the main structure of this boat is actually made of wood, you know, since Xia Feng remembered, most of the villages were iron fishing boats.

And a large wooden ship of this scale may have only appeared in ancient times.

Thinking of this, Xia Feng couldn't help but feel a little hot in his heart, and his heart began to beat violently.

"Ancient", "shipwreck", that is simply synonymous with treasure!

Since then, Xia Feng has become more motivated, and thanks to Cheng Siqi's hearty breakfast in the morning, he can support such strenuous activities.

However, there is a saying that happiness is sorrowful, and after two hours of unremitting efforts, the whole hull finally reveals its true face, and at the same time, as expected, it does not look like a modern ship.

However, it is precisely because of this problem that the wooden structure has experienced an unknown number of years in the deep sea, and the whole is seriously decayed, and it is also covered with seabed silt.

Xia Feng looked around carefully, but he didn't find anything except the silt, unless the ship was salvaged as a whole, there was a chance to clean up the mud inside, but that was obviously unrealistic.

In addition, only in the process of excavation, four small green beads were found, and there was no other gain, there was no treasure, but he could only return disappointed, Xia Feng was very unwilling.

However, considering that he had to go to Zhou Li's side later, he could only give up temporarily if he was unwilling, and before going up, he planned to check the anchor head again, and he just made such a big move and didn't get stuck again.

As a result, when he pulled up the anchor head this time, he unexpectedly discovered that there was a humanoid skeleton that was brought up along with the anchor head.

Maybe it's too long, and the moment it comes into contact with the seawater, it gradually turns into white dust, but that's not the most important thing.

Along with the bones there was a small box that looked like wood and not gold, plus half a crystal clear white jade pendant, but fortunately, Xia Feng's eyes were quick, because after the bones were dusted, these two things almost sank into the mud on the bottom of the sea.

The box didn't look big, and it was quite heavy in his hand, because it was deep at the bottom of the sea, Xia Feng didn't dare to open it, thinking that he would study it slowly when he went up.

Speaking of which, he only focused on the ship before, but now it seems that when the ship sank, someone should have escaped from the hull in advance.

And the place where the anchor fell for the last time may have coincidentally hooked the bones, thinking of this, Xia Feng's eyes lit up, and he threw the anchor head out again.

Half an hour later, he retracted the anchor head, obviously not being patronized by Lady Luck again, in fact, it is normal, this seabed is so large, and I don't know the specific landing point, so luck is no different from looking for a needle in a haystack.

Xia Feng, who calmed down after that, finally left the bottom of the sea, but secretly wrote down this position in his heart, thinking that one day in the future, he would have the ability to deal with this big treasure again.

After returning to the ship, he not only took a long breath of the humid air unique to the ocean, although he could breathe freely in the water, but after all, he had been a normal person for more than 20 years, and it was inevitable that he would be a little uncomfortable for a while.

After that, he started the fishing boat again and drove towards the reef island, and on the way he also counted the harvest a little, five small green beads, half a jade pendant, and an unknown small box.

In fact, thinking about it, although it is a little different from the expected treasure, it is not empty-handed, especially the box, Xia Feng has a hunch that the contents must be very precious.

After all, the packaging box alone can be buried deep in the seabed for hundreds of years without any damage, but unfortunately there is a delicate small copper lock on it, Xia Feng was worried that the things inside would be damaged, so he didn't dare to ****, so he could only have a chance to make plans later.
