Unfortunately, things in the world are often unsatisfactory. They gave up the idea of going to find out what happened, but the rocky island slowly moved towards the Trident.
No one noticed it at first, because the island moved so slowly that it was difficult to spot it even if you kept staring.
Fortunately, Chen Ziyan and the others did not remove the searchlight because they were worried about something unexpected happening, so when the island was out of the beam's impact point, it was quickly discovered by the people on the boat.
After all, the strange appearance of this reef island, even if there is speculation, the people on the deck will take a look at it if nothing happens.
Huo Ling was the first to notice the problem. Although others would also pay attention, they had other things to do. She and Chen Wenjin were the only ones who were truly idle on the ship.
When she told the others what she had discovered, everyone returned to their previous positions and looked at the reef island again.
"There is something strange on this island, what should we do?" Hu Bayi asked.
The subtext of these words is nothing more than asking whether to leave or stay next. Judging from the movement direction of the island, it is not difficult to see that the target is where they are.
If no action is taken, it is estimated that the two will meet soon.
"Shirley, how are you doing over there?" Chen Ziyan did not answer immediately, but looked at Shirley Yang.
She is drawing a simple seabed topographic map based on the information she just entered the water and detected.
The diving bell was equipped with the latest detection equipment, which could record simple terrain through sound waves, so after confirming that there was no problem on the reef island, she went to work on it.
If the topographic map has already been released, then it doesn't matter if it is moved. Anyway, it is already certain that the wreck of the Mariesennu is not down there.
"It's basically been mapped." Shirley Yang replied first, and then asked with some worry: "But the island won't chase us, right?"
She felt that it was not an accident that this rocky island was coming towards them, and leaving might not be able to get rid of the other party.
"Avoid it first, and if it doesn't work, then find a way to solve it." Chen Ziyan immediately made a decision after hearing this.
He thought for a moment and decided to ignore the sudden appearance of the island for the time being.
In such a place with dense reefs, even if the Trident is small, it cannot deploy it. If it is damaged as a result, it will be completely worth the loss.
And at the current speed of the island's movement, it is not easy to catch up with them.
After all, they have already had their route, and now they are about to obtain a simple topographic map of the seabed, so normal movement will not be restricted.
"Okay, let's take a look first and then talk." Hu Bayi nodded lightly.
He still agreed with Chen Ziyan's decision, after all, he had no better solution.
If you don't do this, there is only one way to go, which is to face this weird island head-on.
Then Chen Ziyan looked at Shirley Yang again: "Shirley, tell me about the situation at the bottom of the sea."
Now that you have decided to avoid it for the time being, the next step is to choose your next destination.
"According to the records on the diving bell, we are at the edge of a submarine basin, and the basin in front of us should be the center of the coral spiral."
"Since nothing is found on the outside, the Marixanus we are looking for should be inside."
"I understand." Chen Ziyan nodded: "Then let's go in and take a look."
According to his understanding, the so-called submarine basin is also an underwater forest, which contains many coral trees that have grown for thousands of years. It was described in the original plot, and it is truly spectacular.
Especially the large translucent tree at the core, because it is closest to the eye of the sea and has withstood the baptism of the sun, moon and sea air for countless years. When Chen Ziyan saw this place, he still had a deep memory.
After determining the next course of action, everyone on the boat stopped paying attention to the rocky island and began to act separately.
Soon the Trident started moving and headed towards the submarine basin.
Not long after the ship sailed, the number of yin fires on the bottom of the sea began to increase significantly, and even in some places where yin fires were densely packed, the scene on the bottom of the sea could be vaguely seen.
Seeing this scene, Chen Ziyan felt that they should be closer to their destination, maybe they had even arrived.
Because he remembered that the surviving crew members of the Mary Sennu had once told the public that after encountering an overwhelming hurricane, the bottom of the sea where they fell was as bright as day.
This description is very similar to the scene before me.
"The front should be where the Nanlong Yin Fire spews out. This is different from the Yin Fire Dragon Lanterns just now. If the location of the sunken ship is more than two hundred meters away, we are afraid it will be difficult to find it." Hu Bayi looked at the scene under the sea.
said the voice.
Although in the sea area of Coral Spiral, due to the complicated undercurrents, the use of Feng Shui has been repeatedly hindered. If it were not for the secret treasure of moving mountains provided by Shirley Yang, he would not even be able to deduce the accurate route.
But this does not mean that other aspects of knowledge are useless. For example, the scene in front of you happens to be one of the few unaffected places in the coral spiral.
The raging yin fire at the bottom of the sea dispersed all undercurrents.
"Just do your best." Chen Ziyan said calmly.
He didn't care too much about whether he could find the sunken ship Mary Sennu. Anyway, the fundamental purpose of this trip was to complete the mission, and finding the sunken ship was just an easy thing.
Now that the reward has been obtained, he cannot and will not take risks for this.
The submarine basin in front is okay, even if there is any danger, it is still within the scope of capabilities, but the real depth of the coral spiral is another concept.
So even if nothing is found, Chen Ziyan will not go any further.
In other words, the end of their journey has arrived.
It would be great if he could gain something, but if he didn't, he wouldn't force it. When the time comes, he would directly lead the team back home.
"Look there!"
At this moment, Shirley Yang suddenly pointed to a place below and motioned for Chen Ziyan to look over.
Looking in the direction Shirley Yang pointed, the first thing Chen Ziyan saw was a large shadow, as if something was entrenched on the bottom of the sea.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! After looking carefully, he could vaguely see the shape on the edge of the shadow, which seemed to be the outline of a ship.
After discovering this, Chen Ziyan understood why Shirley Yang let them see it.
Obviously, she also found this thing that looked like a ship and suspected that it was the sunken ship they were looking for.
However, Chen Ziyan did not rush to draw a conclusion, but looked at Hu Bayi and asked: "Lao Hu, what do you think?"
This place is full of undercurrents and whirlpools underwater, so it's better to ask experts for their opinions.
"I think it's probably a shipwreck cemetery." Hu Bayi touched his chin and said with some uncertainty.
"Shipwreck Cemetery?"
"Well, in some low-lying areas, shipwrecks pulled by ocean currents will gather. In addition, the bottom of such places is usually a mud layer, so over time, a shipwreck cemetery will be formed."
"There is one near Coral Temple Island, so I immediately thought of it."
After Hu Bayi briefly explained what a shipwreck cemetery is, he said to Chen Ziyan:
"Mr. Chen, I think we can go over and take a look. Although there are many undercurrents around the shipwreck cemetery, because they are all converging towards the center, the sea is actually very safe. In addition, it is not affected by the surrounding yin fire, so it is considered a safe place.
A good place to stay.”
He felt that if he were to stay temporarily, the place above the shipwreck cemetery would be the best choice at the moment.
Because as far as he knows, the dangers of this special terrain are all under the sea surface, and there will be no impact on the sea surface.
It can also avoid the yin fire in the sea water, so it is a good choice.
Although the Yin Fire in the sea is very calm now, these Yin Fires are not without their lethality, especially when so many Yin Fires gather together, it will be difficult for ordinary ships to withstand them once they break out.
In particular, their vehicle, the Trident, is still a wooden ship, so it is better to avoid it.
"Okay, let's go over and take a look first." Chen Ziyan agreed after thinking about it.
Although he already had the idea of going back, the purpose of this trip was to help Professor Chen. Chen Ziyan didn't care about Professor Chen, but he had to consider Shirley Yang's feelings, so the appropriate gesture was still necessary.
After notifying Ruan Hei to move towards the shadow, Chen Ziyan looked at Hu Bayi and asked: "Old Hu, is there anything we need to pay attention to about the shipwreck cemetery?"
Hu Bayi recalled for a while and said slowly: "If we go down to explore, the diving bell probably won't be used. Generally speaking, the surface of shipwreck cemeteries is usually covered with sand and barnacles due to the direction of ocean currents.
As a result, most of the shipwrecks are buried underneath. I don’t know how long the shipwreck cemetery here has existed. It is estimated that the shell will be very thick. We can only go inside to search, which is very uncertain.
Already."
The implication is obvious, that there will definitely be danger, but it is difficult to predict.
"That's it." Chen Ziyan nodded slowly when he heard this.
He understood what Hu Bayi meant and had secretly decided in his heart that the candidates to go down this time needed to be chosen carefully.
It didn't take long for the Trident to arrive above the shadow, but it was still difficult to see clearly what was going on below, so after observing for a while, Chen Ziyan and the others simply decided to go directly to take a look.
The diving plan was quickly formulated. There were two groups of two people in each group to take care of each other.
Chen Ziyan was in a group with Wang Kaixuan, and Hu Bayi was in a group with Gu Chai.
It stands to reason that Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan should be arranged together. After all, the two have a close tacit understanding. However, considering the underwater combat effectiveness, Chen Ziyan separated the two.
It can be said that there are only two people on the entire ship who have ultra-high endurance underwater, and that is Chen Ziyan and Guchai.
Arranging the two of them together is undoubtedly a waste of resources.
As for Wushuanggui and Huahu, Chen Ziyan thought about it and finally decided to keep them on the ship.
After their four main combat forces were launched into the water, the defensive power on the ship was already greatly insufficient. If even the puppet armor was taken away, it would be difficult to deal with the real danger.
Chen Ziyan has not forgotten what happened before, so he feels it is necessary to take precautions.
