257, the pearl of the night
We were all amazed to see this scene in front of us!
Originally, we thought that this was a naturally formed cave, and that it might be inhabited by some unintelligent aquatic creatures at most, but the discovery in front of us obviously overturned our view.
If it's inhabited by unintelligent aquatic creatures, where did the furniture and decorations come from?
Obviously, the creatures that live here – whether they are fish or reptilian monsters – are clearly intelligent.
Not only did they know that the Ayutthaya cargo ship was full of treasures, but they also knew how to decorate their dwelling as if it were a living room.
This kind of wisdom is probably close to that of human beings.
At this moment, I remembered again the green eyes I had seen in the cabin earlier, and the monster that attacked Ma Hailong.
In this way, the monsters with black scales that live here have evolved human-like intelligence.
Thinking of this, Uncle Mei and Yu Xiaobo and I glanced at each other, and we both saw the shock and fear on each other's faces.
Yu Xiaobo couldn't wait to continue exploring the space in front of him, holding a crowbar to search everywhere, especially looking for the source of the green light, and soon, he found the light source in the depths of this cave.
On the walls of the cave, there were several bulb-like things hanging, which were spherical objects that emitted bright green light, which looked very dazzling.
As soon as Yu Xiaobo saw those things, his emotions became excited, he walked over in three steps and two steps, excitedly pulled a bright ball off the wall, and held it in his hand to study it carefully.
I couldn't help but lean forward to take a closer look, and then I gasped!
I saw that the shining sphere in his hand was an egg-sized pearl of the night!
Although I don't know much about this kind of baby, but since I was a child, I have watched all kinds of TV series, in some historical dramas, the night pearl often appears, this is a rare treasure in the past feudal society and the palace!
One of the most famous night pearls is a night pearl in the mouth of the old empress dowager Cixi of the Qing Dynasty after her death, it is said that this night pearl in 1908, the value has reached 10.8 million taels of silver!
What is the concept of 10.8 million taels of silver? Converted to now, the value is more than 1000000000000000000000000000
Yu Xiaobo obviously knows the value of this night pearl better than me, he holds the night pearl in his hand, and keeps shaking it towards us, although he doesn't speak, I can understand what he means.
What he meant was that with this treasure, the antiques we had touched before: armor, Buddha statues, crowns, scepters, and so on, were all worthless.
This is the real good baby, and it is also the most valuable treasure we got on this trip to the sea.
Ma Hailong, who was on the side, also took the initiative to walk to the wall, and pulled off a shining jewel from the wall, his piece was not small, similar to Yu Xiaobo's, and it was also shining with a clear light, which was very eye-catching.
Uncle Mei and I were afraid of being left behind, so we also went to the wall to search, only to see that there were at least five or six night pearls left on the wall, and the color and size were all good.
Uncle Mei and I couldn't wait to take a few night pearls and put them in our pockets, and we couldn't help but smile on our faces, and at the same time, I was also wondering in my heart, where did these night pearls come from? Could it be that the monster that attacked Ma Hailong found it?
Are they aquariums that live on the bottom of the sea?
Or the mermaids of myths and legends? Or is it a mermaid?
In the blink of an eye, we cleaned the night pearl on the cave wall, and as a result, the brightness of the cave also decreased, leaving only the light of the headlamp.
Just as the light dimmed, a strange sound suddenly sounded from the depths of the cavern, and it sounded like something stirring the water.
I saw that Ma Hailong and Yu Xiaobo were all immersed in admiring the night pearl, and no one noticed this abnormality, so I hurriedly gestured to them and told them to be careful in the depths of the cave.
As a result, at this moment, suddenly a white shadow came out of the cave, I was startled, and quickly paddled to the side to dodge, but Yu Xiaobo and Ma Hailong couldn't dodge, and were hit by the white shadow.
The two of them were knocked off balance and spun in the underwater space.
I hurriedly looked back, only to see that the white shadow that suddenly came out turned out to be a big monster fish more than two meters long!
It was supposed to be a shark, but it wasn't the great white shark that was often shown in movies, and there were so many kinds of sharks in the sea that I couldn't tell me about the specific classification for a while, so I could only call it a shark in general.
All I can say is that this shark was very aggressive, staring at us with a pair of eyes that was sneaky, and it was spitting blisters in a bloody mouth, and when it couldn't hit us, it pounced on us again.
Ma Hailong was the closest to it, so it became its target first, and the big shark opened its mouth and bit towards Ma Hailong.
Ma Hailong reacted quickly, holding a crowbar to support the shark's big mouth, and then quickly retreated.
Yu Xiaobo on the side saw it, picked up the diving blade in his hand, and slashed at the big fish.
Uncle Mei and I didn't slack off, we went over to support together, I pulled out the diving blade in my hand, and poked the back of the big fish, but the skin of the big shark was particularly slippery, as if a layer of mucus was attached to it, and I poked it down, but it only slipped from the skin to the side, and it didn't hurt it at all.
Uncle Mei is more experienced in dealing with this kind of fish, I see that he did not use a diving blade, but used a crowbar, and he took the crowbar and poked it violently at the position of the gills, and directly poked the crowbar into the gills.
This directly made the big shark feel pain, and the whole body twisted violently.
In this way, Ma Hailong had a chance to quickly retreat and withdraw.
Yu Xiaobo helped on the side, wielding a diving blade and slashing twice at the fish's head.
I learned to be clever now, and I also stabbed the gills with a diving blade, and several of us joined forces to attack the big fish, and it didn't take long for the shark to be bruised all over the body by our joint efforts.
Blood flowed from the gills and heads of the fish, staining the waters in front of them, and the big fish struggled to escape, but we still surrounded it.
After a bit of tossing, everyone was exhausted, and finally the shark slowly stopped writhing, and we put down the guy in our hands, and took a big gulp of oxygen, only to feel that our whole body was wet with sweat.
