Chapter 690 Ghost Island?

It is obviously impossible to do this with the existing tools on the ship.

It is possible to simply smear the algae on the surface of the diving bell, but that is just a superficial effort. It will be washed away quickly as long as it is put into the water. Even if some remains in the end, the effect will be greatly reduced.

Don't waste precious materials at that time, but it doesn't have any effect.

"We have to find a way, otherwise we might attract things from the bottom of the sea if we go down further." Chen Ziyan said with a frown.

He knew what Shirley Yang meant, but if this problem was not solved, it would be difficult for them to continue detection.

This time only one strange fish appeared, which was good luck, but I may not be so lucky next time.

If a monster like a giant octopus appears, it will be difficult to escape.

"Master Chen, didn't that thing attack you just now?"

At this moment, Hu Bayi suddenly asked.

He accidentally discovered that there were no signs of attack on the surface of the diving bell that Chen Ziyan was riding on, which surprised him.

Logically speaking, they were all riding the same vehicle. There was no reason that the strange fish would just give up after he escaped?

After returning to the boat to calm down, Hu Bayi probably figured out that it was the searchlight, so he was very confused as to why Chen Ziyan was not attacked.

It's not that I have any grudge against treating them differently, but I think this might be a breakthrough point.

"No, after I saw you rising up, the fish swam back to the trench." Chen Ziyan shook his head gently.

After finishing speaking, he also started thinking.

He had thought about this issue when he was underwater, but the situation at that time did not allow for distraction, so he did not delve into it in depth.

Now hearing Hu Bayi mention it again, Chen Ziyan also remembered his previous doubts and silently recalled the experience just now, trying to find out what was special.

If we can find something, we might be able to solve the problem and avoid being attacked by giant creatures in the sea next time we enter the water.

"The problem shouldn't be with the diving bell." After Shirley Yang understood the meaning of Hu Bayi's words, she first set the tone.

She was present when the diving bell was checked, and she may have even taken the lead in this matter, so I am sure that the problem was not in the vehicle.

Hearing this, the eyes of everyone around them began to wander around Chen Ziyan and Hu Bayi.

Since there is no problem with the diving bell as a vehicle, the problem can only occur with people.

Finally, everyone's eyes, including Hu Bayi's, slowly focused on Chen Ziyan.

Compared to Hu Bayi who was attacked, Chen Ziyan, who was unscathed from all aspects, is more suspicious.

Chen Ziyan: "..."

Seeing everyone looking at him, he was a little unsure whether the problem really was with him.

The reason for such doubts is that such passive abilities are difficult to detect actively and often require field verification.

As for Chen Ziyan, he had no doubts about his bloodline and directly focused his suspicion on the treasure-showing spirit fish.

It's because the recent trip to the undersea tomb has proved that his bloodline cannot deter sea creatures, otherwise the sea monkeys and forbidden women would not attack him.

Thinking about this, Chen Ziyan felt more and more that it was the fish that revealed the treasure.

"How about I go down and try again?" he said after thinking for a moment.

If it is really due to the treasure-showing spirit fish, then the analysis here cannot be sure. It is better to go down again and let the facts speak for themselves.

There is no need to try a third time. This time Chen Ziyan plans to go deeper and go into the trench to have a look. If he is not attacked, he can basically confirm his guess.

He just happened to suspect that the Mariexono was sinking inside, and he also confirmed it at the same time.

After hearing Chen Ziyan's proposal, everyone fell into deep thought.

They also know that this may be the most direct way, but the problem is that it carries high risks.

It would be fine if the problem really happened to Chen Ziyan, but if not, then what's the difference between doing this and sending a sheep into the tiger's mouth?

After a while, when no one said anything, Chen Ziyan made a decision directly: "That's it, I'll go down again."

He knew what others were worried about, so he directly used his right to lead the team.

"Then try again. Mr. Chen, be careful and speak immediately if necessary." Hu Bayi did not remain silent.

This seems to be the best way at the moment.

Then Chen Ziyan entered the diving bell again, and when everything was ready, he entered the sea water again.

Because he had an experience, he quickly came to the previous position again this time.

After observing the surrounding situation and seeing that everything was calm, Chen Ziyan did not stop here. He remotely commanded other people on the ship through the intercom and began to use the boom to move towards the direction of the trench.

Fortunately, the crane model they installed is very new and can be extended to a sufficient length. Otherwise, if they want to successfully reach the top of the trench, they may still need to move the hull.

But to Chen Ziyan's disappointment, it was only after he actually sank into the trench that he discovered that it was not the deep stream he expected.

It seemed that the bottom was bottomless before, but it was only because of the angle and the difficulty of seeing on the bottom of the sea that he could only see with the help of a searchlight, so he had the illusion that this was a trench.

In fact, this is just a trough. Although it is more than ten meters deep, it obviously does not reach the level of a deep stream.

Just when Chen Ziyan was looking around at the sea trough, trying not to make this trip in vain, Hu Bayi's voice suddenly came from the intercom.

"Master Chen, how are you doing there?"

"It's safe, but there's nothing to gain." Chen Ziyan answered truthfully.

The ocean trough was not empty, but there were only some seabed animals and plants, and there was nothing they were looking for.

As for the sunken ship of the Marymount, there is not even a shadow.

Chen Ziyan had actually guessed this after discovering the depth of the trough.

After all, the depth of this trough is simply not enough to accommodate an ocean-going shipwreck.

"There are new discoveries above, Chen Ziyan, why don't you come back first?"

"What's going on?"

Hearing this, Chen Ziyan frowned instantly.

He knew that Hu Bayi would not let him go back if it was just a trivial matter.

"A strange island appeared in the distance." Hu Bayi said: "This island appeared very suddenly, and we were a little confused about what to do."

"Strange island? Don't act rashly first, wait until I get up there." After hearing this, Chen Ziyan said immediately.

In such a deep sea, he would not underestimate any abnormality, let alone a sudden appearance of an island.

Didn't you hear what Hu Bayi just said, did that strange island appear suddenly?

"Okay." Hu Bayi was waiting for his words and agreed immediately.

After a while, Chen Ziyan returned to the boat and looked into the distance with his binoculars. He saw a dark island at the point where the searchlight landed.

This is an island shaped like a large reef, completely pitch black, which gives people a very strange look.

But that's not the strangest thing. What's really puzzling is that the island actually appears in the stern direction of the ship.

You must know that Chen Ziyan always paid attention to the surrounding situation when they were on their route. If there was this island before, it is impossible that they would not have discovered it.

But when he knew this, Chen Ziyan finally understood why Hu Bayi said that this island appeared suddenly.

Appearing out of nowhere on the way, it fully deserves the word 'abrupt'.

After observing for a while, Chen Ziyan asked: "What do you think?"

All need to be verified. The way this island appears alone is enough to prove that there is something wrong with it.

What he was asking was how to deal with it, whether to find a way to explore it, or to just let it go.

"I've heard people say before that islands that appear suddenly on the sea may be the backs of big fish or the shells of giant turtles. Why don't you test it with a sea-shaking cannon first?" Hu Bayi thought for a moment and said.

If the black island behind is really a sea monster, it would be better not to approach it easily.

"Okay, let's try it first." Chen Ziyan naturally had no objection to this.

Although the Trident is a ghost ship, in its physical state, it is difficult to compete with a sea beast of this size.

Seeing that Chen Ziyan agreed, Hu Bayi immediately walked towards the sea-shaking cannon. Not long after, with the sound of the cannon, a cannonball landed on the black island in the distance.

boom--

As a burst of smoke and dust rose, Chen Ziyan instantly had the answer in his heart.

This black island is definitely not some sea monster.

Because he clearly saw through the telescope that when the cannonballs fell, not only did the island not move at all, but there were also debris falling off it.

"Could it be a ghost island?"

At this moment, Duoling, who had been silent next to her, said weakly.

"Black whale?" Chen Ziyan looked at her and asked curiously: "How do you say it?"

"The old man who has been here before said that there is a wonderful phenomenon in the coral spiral. Reefs will suddenly emerge from the sea. This situation is generally called a 'black whale'." Duoling explained in a low voice.

"Isn't this the Ghost Island?" Wang Kaixuan suddenly said.

This is not a rumor unique to Coral Temple Island. In fact, there are similar rumors in many places, but with different names.

After listening to Duoling's explanation, Chen Ziyan understood what she wanted to express.

After thinking about it carefully, I found that this possibility is indeed possible. Although there are no obvious signs of low tide, the coral spiral is full of weird things, and it is not too difficult to accept that a reef suddenly emerges from the sea.

"Mr. Chen, it looks like it's a rocky island. Do you want to send a boat over to have a look?" Hu Bayi said as he came back.

The small boat he was talking about was a lifeboat on the ship. Given its weight, this kind of rubber kayak is not afraid of underwater reefs, so it can be used to go to reef islands.

"Let's forget it." Chen Ziyan was a little moved.

Although this rocky island seemed obvious at a glance, there might be some secret hidden on it, but after thinking about it, I gave up the idea.

They are now very close to the goal of this trip, and there is no need to add any extraneous details. Who knows if there is any danger on this rocky island.

Although Hu Bayi felt a little pity, he did not insist on it. He just put forward his own suggestion.

Whether to adopt it or not depends on Chen Ziyan, the team leader.
