Volume 19, Chapter 155 Treasure Ship Cemetery

"Phew, we finally got rid of it! This seabed is really no place for people to stay!"

After sighing, I quickly turned around and continued to dive, but to my surprise, I saw the seabed after only swimming for a minute or so. After swimming for a few more minutes, I finally succeeded in standing on this hard surface. of the seabed.

Unlike ordinary waters, there is not too much sediment at the bottom of the trench. It does not mean that the sediment in the sea will not fall to the bottom of the sea, but because the water pressure here is too great. Although the amount of sediment falling on the seabed is not large, due to the pressure on the seabed, once the sediment sinks to the bottom, it will only take a few days to be crushed into a whole with the seabed, and it will no longer have the characteristics of sediment. . Therefore, what can actually be felt on the seabed is only a small layer of sand on the surface, and underneath is a seabed as hard as steel.

After successfully landing, I first observed the surrounding environment. The place where I just landed should be a small piece of high ground, and the nearby area is slightly lower than here. As for the target water tree, I haven’t found where it is yet. Fortunately, the guiding crystal ball always indicates the direction of the tree, so you don’t have to worry about finding it.

Swimming forward in the direction of the crystal ball, I soon discovered a sunken ship of unknown age lying on the seabed in front of me. Because most of the hull structure is buried under the seabed, it is difficult to determine what kind of ship this is. We can only determine that it is a large wooden ship based on the mast 'exposed' on the seabed and some hull wreckage below. Just a sailboat.

It’s not that I’m not interested in treasure hunting on ancient ships, but the ship in front of me is really badly damaged, and the hull is buried too deep. I don’t want to dig in the deep sea, so I have to give up on this thing. However, I had just made up my mind to abandon the treasure ship, and I immediately realized something was wrong. Just after I walked around the treasure ship, there were not one treasure ship wreckage in front of me, but three treasure ships.

Three dilapidated wrecks were scattered in a small area of ​​​​sea in front of me. One of the ships only had half of its hull, and the other parts were missing. On the seabed near the three ships, hundreds of boxes were scattered in a mess. Several of the boxes were broken and fell onto the seabed, spilling large amounts of metal coins and some kind of gems. .

Although I have dark vision, the world I see in dark situations is actually black and white. Different colors are different reactions of the human eye to visible light of different wavelengths. Night vision does not rely on visible light at all, so I cannot see colors at all. The metal coins scattered on the seabed have obvious relief patterns on their surfaces, so I can be sure that these are coins, but because I can't see the color, I don't know whether they are gold coins, silver coins, or other coins. The same goes for those gems. The gems scattered on the seabed are all translucent, but the color is not clear at all. Except that the changes in light and darkness can determine that these gems are colored gems, I can't tell at all what these things are.

After seeing these three ships, the determination I had finally made up was finally shaken. Of course, the temptation of a sunken ship that may contain treasures and the treasures on the ground in front of you cannot be the same. With my character, I can't cross the treasure mountain without taking action yet, so... "Ghost worm, move all those things back for me."

This ghost place is not the ground. Most of my magic pets cannot survive here. As for the unicorn warriors, death guards or mobile angels, they will only turn into cakes here. The only difference is the specific material of the cakes they will turn into. In fact, if it weren't for the abnormal defense of the Shenlong suit, I would instantly turn into a meatloaf in a place like this. It's not that I'm not strong enough, it's that the pressure here is too abnormal.

Among my current demon pets, I estimate that the only ones who can really move freely in this place are Mira, Black Flame, Sayoko and the King. Mira is a gem dragon, and her whole body is like a giant diamond. Not to mention the current water pressure, she will still be fine if there is an extra zero. Although Heiyan's body is not made of diamond, his physical strength is probably the most powerful among my demon pets. Although the pressure here is great, Black Flame can still withstand it to some extent. As for Sayoko and the King, their strength cannot be said to be outstanding. The main reason why they can survive here is because they can both enter the state of nothingness. To put it bluntly, these two are just two disembodied ghosts. Have you ever seen a ghost crushed to death by water pressure?

There are only four magic pets that can be summoned, but the treasures here are so fragmented that they cover a large area of ​​the surrounding sea. If I asked the four of them to help me collect treasures, it would probably take at least a few hours, so I had to summon ghost bugs.

Ghost bugs have two modes. One is the void mode. In this state, they are basically as incorporeal as ghosts, so they are not afraid of water pressure. The other form of the ghost bug is the diamond form. In this form, the ghost bugs will turn into diamond-like creatures, which are as hard as diamonds, so they are not afraid of water pressure like Mira.

Precisely because the two characteristics of ghost bugs are not afraid of water pressure, and their number is large enough, I gave them the task of collecting treasures, while I quickly swam up a few meters.

After I passed the first ship and saw the three ships in front of me, I felt something was not right. But when I rose a few meters and surpassed the three ships in front of me that blocked my view, I was still shocked by what I saw. .

Right in front of me, behind the three sunken ships, as far as I could see, dozens of ships of various models, sizes, and ages were spread out on the seabed in a mess. The density was so high that There are even cases where several ships are stacked together like stacks of arhats. Of course, in addition to the sunken ship, all kinds of messy goods were also scattered all over the place. Some very precious materials and more goods of little value were scattered chaotically on the sea bed. It looked like a garbage dump.

"Master, be careful." I was observing the seabed, and Mira suddenly appeared next to me.

When she suddenly shouted to be careful, I quickly shrank down, but after waiting for a while I realized that nothing was attacking me. Mira pulled me apologetically and said, "I'm sorry, sorry, I conveyed it too hastily. I'm not asking you to hide, it's Sister Ling who told you to be careful. There's something weird here."

Because my demon pets and I can share our senses through spiritual contact, even though I can't come out, Ling can also see what I see. Of course, the premise is that she takes the initiative to see it.

Hearing Mira's reminder, I nodded and said: "I also know that this place must be dangerous. It is obviously not a coincidence that so many ships sank in one place. But there is nothing I can do! Look at that crystal ball , it is clearly trying to take me to the central area of ​​the pile of sunken ships, can I not follow it?"

Although it has been peaceful here so far, I have already roughly guessed what is going on here. Needless to say, there must be a monster here that likes to attack ships, and most of these sunken ships were dragged here by it. If the sea area above here is an accident-prone area, it is impossible for all sunken ships to be concentrated in this area. A ship will not sink vertically during the sinking process. It will sink to different positions due to different damage locations, different hull structures, and different ocean currents when it sinks. This specific sinking location may be hundreds of nautical miles different from the original location where the ship completely sank, and different ships are affected by various factors in different ranges. For example, when a wooden boat sinks, it may be carried far away by ocean currents, while a metal boat will quickly bottom out due to its heavier weight and will not be carried too far by ocean currents.

However, the ships here include wooden ships and metal ships, and there are also several Japanese warships that look like they were sunk by our guild, and they even have guild logos on them. So many ships are actually concentrated in this area. This is obviously not caused by the natural environment. Even if the ships weren't sunk by the creature, at least they were brought over by it. Anyway, it is impossible for the ship to come over by itself.

"Ling, what do you think is here?" I asked Ling through telepathic contact.

Ling replied helplessly: "I don't have much research on marine life, so I don't know exactly what it is. But one thing is for sure, that is, this thing is very big."

"Why do you say that?"

"Because the buoyancy of water will make the hull lighter, but it is not something that small creatures can do to transport such a huge ship here."

I nodded and said, "That's right. At least I can't move a boat by myself. So that thing should be at least much bigger than me."

Mira asked from the side: "Would you like me to go around in front and find the way out for you? With my defense, even if a monster suddenly attacks, it shouldn't be able to do anything to me."

I thought for a while and said: "Forget it, let's leave the job of pathfinding to the ghost bug. If you are so big, you won't be exploring the path. That would be to alert the snake."

Although ghost bugs are now helping me carry supplies, the number of ghost bugs I can summon is not tens of thousands, but millions. Splitting tens of thousands of ghost bugs to explore paths will have little effect on the overall transportation efficiency. Obvious impact. However, I have just sent out the ghost bugs. The fastest ghost bug has not even had time to cross the three sunken ships. The monster that likes to collect sunken ships shows up on its own. All we saw was that the sea in front of us suddenly became hazy, and a large amount of sand was turned up. We couldn't see what was behind it at all. However, the water pressure in this damn place was too high, and even Auntina couldn't be summoned. Without her sonar system, if we want to know what is behind the mud, we can only wait for the other party to dig out on his own.
