Chapter 64: Adventure in Distress
As Li Xiaofeng got closer and closer, he gradually saw this area clearly.
The slightly raised silt piles stand quietly on the quiet seabed, like graves, and the entire shipwreck area is also like a huge cemetery!
Most of these silt piles are due to shipwrecks, which have been eroded by the sea for a long time, collapsed, and finally decayed.
Some of the collapsed wrecks were overgrown with coral and seaweed, swaying slightly underwater.
The whole area seems very quiet, and there seems to be a bit of weirdness in the silence.
The most disturbing thing is that the waters are so quiet, you must know that the light here is not too bad, there are many aquatic plants and corals, but there are almost no fish!
Although Li Xiaofeng's heart was a little uneasy, he had already arrived here, and it was impossible to do nothing and go back directly.
Li Xiaofeng could only endure the uneasiness in his heart and carefully turned off the thruster. Then he strapped it to his body, took out the underwater metal detector, and began to scan forward little by little on the ocean floor.
At this time, the bottom of the sea was silent, only his scanner kept flickering.
Although the detector constantly sends out prompts, since most of the sunken here are ordinary fishing boats, they are also detected some worthless things, such as some ship nails, anchors, and iron chains that have not been completely corroded......
However, Li Xiaofeng was not in a hurry except for being a little uneasy in his heart. Before he came, he was fully mentally prepared, where are the good things so easy to get, and he was ready to go back empty-handed.
In this way, Li Xiaofeng continuously probed four or five of these fishing boats into mud piles, but found nothing of value.
The detector could only continue to probe forward, at which point the detector began to blink continuously. Li Xiaofeng looked at the screen of the detector, and couldn't help but be happy in his heart, this time the detector prompted that non-ferrous metals had been found.
The detector generally divides the detected metals into two categories, one is ferrous metals such as iron, steel, nickel, etc., and the other is non-ferrous metals such as gold, silver, and copper.
Li Xiaofeng, who saw the prompt, couldn't help but be shocked.
Then he carefully peeled off the mud with a diving knife, dug down more than twenty centimeters, and as the silt gradually disappeared, a thin and long black metal was exposed under the silt.
Li Xiaofeng carefully identified it, this is very similar to the silver hairpin worn by people in the past. The reason why it appears black now is because the surface of the silver has been oxidized.
Li Xiaofeng carefully put it into the net pocket, which was the first valuable thing found today.
After putting it away, he took the metal detector and continued to probe around.
It's a pity that this silver hairpin was found in the rotten shipwreck, and nothing else was found.
Li Xiaofeng could only hold the detector and continue to probe forward.
Two mud piles in a row didn't find anything good.
On the third mud pile, the metal detector suddenly kept prompting, looking at the display on the detector, Li Xiaofeng couldn't help but feel happy again.
He flawed the stripping of the silt, and the discovery of the metal suggested that it was buried deeper. As the silt was peeled away, the water gradually became cloudy despite his care.
It took thirty or forty centimeters to dig down, and then I found something. Li Xiaofeng picked it up and looked at it, and couldn't help but be very happy in his heart.
It was a yellow ring-shaped item, and Li Xiaofeng carefully wiped the mud on it, revealing the golden color inside.
It's a gold bracelet!
There are also some beautiful patterns carved on it, which makes the whole bracelet simple and generous.
In the past, bracelets were generally in pairs, and there should be another one, Li Xiaofeng cautiously continued to explore the vicinity.
Sure enough, five or six meters away from the first gold bracelet, a second one was found.
Li Xiaofeng carefully put it in his net pocket.
The discovery of the two gold bracelets also ignited Li Xiaofeng's enthusiasm for exploration again, and he began to continue to explore with great enthusiasm.
In a few moments, he came to an even bigger pile of silt, which was undoubtedly an even bigger shipwreck!
Li Xiaofeng couldn't help but look forward to it.
Sure enough, the detection results did not disappoint him, and after only a small area was detected, the metal detector began to send out signals frantically.
Li Xiaofeng carefully peeled off the silt on it and found that there were still some ship planks under the silt that had not completely rotted. He tugged at the plank with his hand and tried to drag it out, but he didn't expect that the plank, which looked intact on the surface, shattered directly with his hand.
He could only carefully clean up the broken planks and continue to explore the bottom.
After cleaning several broken planks in succession, a wooden box with more than half of it broken was found underneath, and under the wooden box were several pieces of boat-shaped black metal.
Seeing this thing, where would Li Xiaofeng not understand, isn't this the silver ingots that often appear in TV series?
Li Xiaofeng's heart couldn't help but burst into ecstasy!
He carefully picked them all into his net pocket, seven in all, and there seemed to be something carved on them, but unfortunately he couldn't see them clearly.
Li Xiaofeng took the metal detector and scanned it nearby for a while, and found two more not far from here, and quickly put them away.
Looking at the value of the oxygen cylinder, Li Xiaofeng felt that he could detect it for a while, so he picked up the detector again and continued to probe.
It didn't take long for Li Xiaofeng to find another pair of gold earrings and a pair of gold bracelets.
Rewarding!
After a few minutes, Li Xiaofeng's metal detector began to send out signals again, which was another non-ferrous metal!
Li Xiaofeng was about to take away the boat board above, when something suddenly skewered out from under the boat board and pounced on him.
Li Xiaofeng also reacted quickly, and hurriedly used the long rod of the metal detector in his hand to push it away. Only then did he see what it was.
It is a sea snake with a slender body and a length of about two meters, with black rings on its body.
Sea chief worm!
The sea chief worm, whose scientific name is the blue ring sea snake, is a highly venomous sea snake widely distributed in the coastal waters of China.
And the most frightening thing about this guy is that it lives in groups!
Sure enough, more blue-ringed sea snakes began to lower their heads from the planks of the boat, and the nearby reef bushes kept swimming out, and some of them had already pounced on him.
The seabed, which used to be silent, is now densely packed with green-ringed sea snakes everywhere.
That's at least a few hundred!
No wonder there is not a single fish in this area!
Li Xiaofeng couldn't help but look at the numbness of his scalp.
He hurriedly activated the thruster, and kept using the detector to push away the green-ringed sea snake that pounced.
At this time, even if he had a fishing gun in his hand, it would not help, and even if so many long and thin sea snakes did not move there, there was nothing he could do.
Li Xiaofeng could only swim backwards in embarrassment, and at the same time used the long rod of the detector to push away all the Qinghuan sea snakes that pounced.
Just retreated dozens of meters in embarrassment.
Fortunately, after chasing the sea snake for some distance, it stopped the pursuit.
Li Xiaofeng didn't dare to stay any longer, and with the help of the pusher, he swam back towards the fishing boat in embarrassment.
