Chapter 4: Treasures Under the Sea

Suppressing the uneasiness in his heart, Lu Yuan dialed his mother's phone.

"Mom, I'm Lu Yuan, everything is okay at home......"

Hanging up the phone, Lu Yuan silently walked to the beach.

Lu Yuan didn't expect his father to suddenly suffer from leukemia.

He struggled to remember the time he had spent with his father, and it dawned on him that he hadn't spent a long, long time with his parents.

The last time a family of four reunited was nine years ago, when my brother got married.

Lu Yuan silently kept tears in his eyes, and after calming down, he called his brother Lu Tian again.

"Brother, I'm Lu Yuan, do you know the specific situation of Dad's current illness......

After calling his brother Lu Tian, Lu Yuan couldn't help but feel anxious.

The mother really hid herself, and the father's illness cost at least a million.

After graduating for so many years, although his income is not low, he has always been not good at financial management, and his savings are not even 100,000 yuan.

Brother Lu Tian's situation is not much better, and his sister-in-law had a car accident last year.

It took a lot of money to heal the injury, and although the court has awarded compensation to the driver who caused the accident, the compensation has not been received so far.

"Where are you going to get so much money all at once!"

Lu Yuan suddenly realized the grievance of "a penny is difficult to defeat a hero".

Standing on the seashore, looking at the endless sea, Lu Yuan suddenly thought of something.

He hurried back to his cabin, turned on his computer, and searched the Internet.

The words "East China Sea shipwreck" were typed into the searcher, and a bunch of information about the East China Sea shipwreck popped up at once.

Lu Yuan clicked on the link to view the information one by one.

Unfortunately, most of it is outdated information that is of little use.

As he became more and more disappointed, he suddenly saw a link to the famous shipwreck a hundred years ago.

Lu Yuan clicked on the link, and it turned out that the above was about the famous shipwrecks that have occurred in the East China Sea in the past few hundred years.

At this time, Lu Yuan suddenly discovered that four hundred years ago, a Dutch treasure ship sank on the high seas in the East China Sea.

Lu Yuan carefully checked the information of the wreck and found that the wreck was carrying a large amount of gold.

The most important thing is that no trace of the wreck has been found so far.

However, this is also normal, and it is very difficult to find a shipwreck on the bottom of the sea.

It is said that there are at least 3 million shipwrecks in the world today.

The various situations in the ocean are very complicated, and you want to salvage a wreck in the ocean.

The data needs to be researched first, then searched, then explored, and then salvaged. After salvage, it is kept.

Now that we are in the information society, it is actually relatively easy to find information about shipwrecks.

However, the subsequent search, exploration and salvage are still very difficult.

However, Lu Yuan has now learned the "Water Escape Technique", and Xiaoding also has his own space.

Then the search, survey, salvage and storage, which are extremely difficult for others, are much simpler for Lu Yuan.

Thinking of this, Lu Yuan desperately searched for the information of the shipwreck.

After a night of searching, Lu Yuan finally found the information he wanted.

The wreck, the Oak, was a Dutch merchant ship 400 years ago.

In that year, it carried a shipment of gold from the rice continent to return to the Netherlands.

Because at that time, the route of the western road was blocked by the countries of the Round Table.

For safety, the merchant ship "Oak" was diverted to the east course along with several other ships.

Unexpectedly, just after walking to the edge of the East China Sea, he encountered a typhoon.

In the end, the tragic "Oak" was buried at sea along with more than 100 crew members on board.

Over the next few hundred years, treasure hunters of all stripes tried to find the gold-laden treasure ship.

However, all of them failed due to the complex hydrological and geographical conditions in the eastern part of the East China Sea.

However, Lu Yuan is not worried about this, because the average depth of the East China Sea is not very deep, and the depth of most parts of the East China Sea is less than 200 meters.

The area where the "Oak" sank was only more than 200 meters deep, which was completely within the range of his exploration.

In addition, the area where the "Oak" sank is not far from the island, which is only more than 400 kilometers from the map.

With Lu Yuan's current speed of performing the water escape technique, it will only take 7 hours to reach the sea area where the "Oak" sank.

On the first day, Lu Yuan did not act immediately, but repaired at home for a day, and at the same time prepared for the next action.

Although Lu Yuan is now a monk who has practiced qi and has mastered the "Water Escape Technique", his own strength is still relatively weak.

If he encounters a large creature in the sea, he will most likely not be able to defeat it.

Therefore, the necessary self-defense items should still be prepared.

It took a day for Lu Yuan to find any good self-defense weapons, and finally only bought two harpoons from fishermen.

Although the weapon is rudimentary, if used well, it can still deal with most sea creatures.

After all, the East China Sea is only a continental fringe sea, and there are no too powerful sea creatures.

In order to avoid being discovered, Lu Yuan waited until the next night, and then quietly set off for the sea where the "Oak" sank.

By the time Lu Yuan arrived at the target sea area, it was only three o'clock in the morning.

After finding an uninhabited desert island nearby, I took a break.

Lu Yuan threw himself into the search work, and Lu Yuan used the "water escape technique" to quickly dive to the bottom of the sea at a depth of more than 100 meters.

After the bottom of the sea, Lu Yuan finally understood why the previous salvage organization would return again and again in vain.

It turns out that this place is basically an undersea mountain range, and the underwater terrain is very complicated.

There are valley cracks everywhere, plus the bottom of the sea is full of coral reefs, seaweed, marine seed plants. In addition, there is a large number of marine life living in it.

All of this greatly increases the difficulty of search and exploration.

Fortunately, Lu Yuan, who has the "Water Escape Technique", is much more efficient and flexible in search than other treasure exploration teams.

Before dawn he had searched an area of five square kilometers.

Although the location of the shipwreck has not yet been found, I have unexpectedly found an area full of spiritual energy.

"I can come to this time to cultivate in the future!"

It was already dawn, and Lu Yuan's physical strength was almost consumed.

He returned to a cave on a desert island that was half-hidden in the water, where he ate and rested to replenish his lost physical and spiritual strength.

Finally, when night fell, Lu Yuan went out of the cave again and dived to the bottom of the sea.

Tonight he plans to explore a little further east.

Because the terrain in the west is relatively simple, in Lu Yuan's opinion, if the shipwreck was in the west, it must have been discovered a long time ago.

To the east, on the other hand, there are not all kinds of underwater rifts, and if a ship sinks inside, it is extremely difficult to find it.

After searching underwater for a few more hours, and seeing that the sky was about to dawn, Lu Yuan suddenly noticed that a mast was exposed in a rift not far away......

Lu Yuan resisted his excitement and swam over slowly, there were sharks in this area.

Although Lu Yuan's speed was far faster than that of the shark, the shark could not pose much of a threat to him.

However, if the shark school is alarmed, it will be a serious obstacle to the subsequent salvage work.

Although Lu Yuan had slowed down, it still didn't take long to reach the mast.

Lu Yuan frowned, there was only a lone mast here, and there was no hull.

"The shipwreck should be around here!"

Lu Yuan continued to search, and after half an hour, he finally found the wreckage of a huge ship.

Because the time spent on the bottom of the sea is too long, the hull of the ship is already overgrown with all kinds of aquatic plants, corals, and various shellfish.

Because Lu Yuan has lived inland since he was a child, most of the species growing on the hull of the ship are unknown.

When he was looking up information on the Internet, he once saw someone saying that there are usually many highly poisonous creatures growing near the shipwreck.

For the sake of safety, Lu Yuan used his aura to prop up a protective film around him before swimming towards the wreck.

Swimming closer, Lu Yuan realized that this was a merchant ship similar to another time and space, a sample of a Spanish galleon.

The hull of the ship is stuck in a crack in the seabed. The mainmast had been broken, and part of the ship's planks had fallen deep into the cracks.

Lu Yuan looked at it and found that there should be a lot of scattered treasures at the bottom of the crack.

He tried to dive deeper into the chasm, but was halfway through before he could go any further.

Lu Yuan estimated that the bottom of the crack was at least 400 meters above the sea surface.

If you want to dive into this depth, you need to reach at least the second level of Qi training, otherwise your body won't be able to withstand such a large amount of water pressure.

In desperation, Lu Yuan could only return to the location of the shipwreck's hull.

In his mind, there should be some treasure in such a large hull.

After resting for a while, Lu Yuan sneaked into the cabin through a hole in the hull.

Rusty hinges and cannons can still be seen in the cabin.

Lu Yuan tried to carry these cannons into the Xiaoding space.

But after several attempts, he failed, the cannon was too big, and it took too much energy to send him into the small ding, which was pregnant in the soul.

Today's Lu Yuan is far from being able to afford it. In desperation, Lu Yuan could only give up this plan.

After putting down the cannon, he continued to swim towards the warehouse.

As he expected, a large hole appeared at the bottom of the warehouse, and most of the goods inside fell into the crack.

But what made Lu Yuan happy was that there was also a wooden box slanted in an inconspicuous corner.

"Maybe there's something good in there!"

Lu Yuan thought as he approached the box.

The box was already a little damaged, and through those holes, Lu Yuan found that there were some golden objects inside.

"Gold!"

A word popped out of his head.

Lu Yuan couldn't wait to open the box, and the moment the box was opened, the golden light in his eyes almost scared his eyes.

"Haha, it's gold, I don't know how much gold weighs in this box!"

Lu Yuan suppressed the excitement in his heart and carried the gold bricks in the box into the Xiaoding space one by one......
