Chapter 47: Discovering the Treasure

Without turning on the navigation, Zhang He's yacht had entered the economic zone of New Guinea without knowing it.

It was hot on the deck near the equator, and everyone jumped into the sea to cool down.

"Hey? There is another island base here."

As long as everyone was immersed in the water, they could see a seabed just a few meters below their feet.

The light and shadow of the sun shining on the water reflected the silt, rocks and large corals, and fish and shrimps surged in it.

It was probably an island in the past, but the rising sea level submerged it.

"Will there be pearls again?"

"Whether there are pearls or not, this place is so beautiful."

This time the water was only four or five meters deep. Except for the girls, several men were too lazy to change into diving suits and just held their breath and dived in to play.

After playing for a while, they found that there were no pearls here, and they found a few small shells, but they were just edible.

However, there are fish, shrimps and shellfish here, which are all delicious tropical ingredients, which also surprised everyone.

"Finally, we can fish, hurry up and get the fishing rod!" Zhang He said.

However, Xiao Kun said, "Why use a fishing rod? It's so hot. Just catch it with your hands."

Everyone agreed and chased after the delicious fish they knew in the water.

However, after more than ten minutes, they saw them floating up helplessly and said, "It's too difficult, Xiao Mo, how did you catch the fish with your bare hands?"

A few days ago, they saw Mo Qiong holding a fish with his bare hands, and it looked very easy, so they wanted to try it this time.

Unexpectedly, he was easily played by the school of fish in the sea.

Mo Qiong smiled and said, "Quick eyes and quick hands."

His so-called quick eyes and quick hands, as long as he touches the fish, the fish will be unable to control itself.

"It's a coincidence, the fish here are too flexible, try to catch a few more." Xiao Kun said, he has been out to sea many times and knows how difficult it is.

Mo Qiong jumped into the water without saying a word, and before the waves calmed down, he floated up holding a big mackerel.

"Fuck..." Everyone exclaimed, it's not even five seconds.

"Wait a minute! Wait a minute! Catch another one for me to see." Everyone dived into the water to see how Mo Qiong caught fish.

Mo Qiong smiled, sank into the sea, slowly approached the school of fish, and suddenly reached into the school of fish.

A fish was caught by him, and it tried to escape in panic, but it couldn't escape from Mo Qiong's palm.

Mo Qiong pressed the fish to his chest again, and his other hand had been waiting for a long time, and immediately locked its fingers in the fish's gills.

"Here..." Mo Qiong floated to the surface, holding the fish and smiling.

Everyone also floated up, dumbfounded, they all watched carefully, this hand strength is too great, holding the fish tightly, the fish is slippery in the water and can't leave?

"How do you make the fish not slip?" Zhang He asked.

Mo Qiong said: "Nothing special, just practice makes perfect."

"I love eating fish the most. I have been fishing in the water since I was a child. I have become proficient after practicing more."

When he said this, Mo Qiong laughed. He thought of Qin Ya again. He didn't have any favorite food, but now that he has said it so many times, he feels that he really loves eating fish the most...

Next, after catching a few more fish for everyone, he took the opportunity to shoot a fish towards the GPS that had lost contact before.

No, to be precise, it was the jar. Each jar has a mark. Unless the jar is taken away by the fish, there must be the crown next to it.

Sure enough, the fish that Mo Qiong shot slipped out of his hand this time and swam directly outside the school of fish, swimming faster and faster, abandoning its group.

Mo Qiong hurriedly chased after it and saw that the fish had disappeared into the coral group.

"Hmm, is it covered by this piece of coral?"

Mo Qiong found that the coral itself was damaged. He broke off a few pieces of coral and saw that there was only mud underneath, but there was a small hole. At this moment, the fish was also inserting its face into it and going deeper.

The small hole was a little tilted, and there was a plow mark several meters long, as if an object was inserted diagonally into the ground.

"The treasure is below here. My previous jar was destroyed by crashing into it, so I lost contact."

Thinking of this, Mo Qiong continued to pay attention to the small hole, and saw that mud and sand were occasionally released like mist along the stirred water.

This means that the small fish is still drilling, and when it stops, it means it has arrived.

After counting silently for a while, Mo Qiong found that the movement stopped, and estimated that the treasure was buried two meters underground.

Mo Qiong smiled, immediately covered up the marks of the jar, and covered it with coral again.

Then he continued to touch two fish and brought them back to the boat.

Everyone played for a while, and Mo Qiong began to follow Zhang He. When Zhang He approached the area where he could see the coral, he blew a breath suddenly.

Then the air shot into the coral reef like an arrow in the water.

Mo Qiong knew that the air must have entered the small hole, so he reached out and patted Zhang He.

Zhang He didn't understand, but saw Mo Qiong pointing at the coral and motioning him to look.

He looked over and saw bubbles rising from the coral, as if something was spitting bubbles below.

This is exactly when the air reaches its destination and naturally floats up.

But Zhang He didn't know, and thought there were prawns there.

The two surfaced, and Zhang He said: "There are so many bubbles, it must be a big guy, we will wrap it up from left and right, and eat it tonight!"

Mo Qiong smiled and said: "Okay."

The two took a deep breath and dived again, one from left and one from right to the coral, and looked into the gap.

After finding that he couldn't see anything, Zhang He broke it open.

But he didn't see the prawns, but saw the small hole.

Although the small hole was silted up by mud and sand, it was cleared by fish and filled with gas, so it was already very obvious.

Zhang He lay down and reached into the hole.

Suddenly he wanted to touch something, and when he pulled it out, it was a small fish.

The small fish struggled and escaped, which made Zhang He feel discouraged.

At the same time, Mo Qiong started digging directly, expanding the small hole a lot and continuing to go deeper.

Zhang He thought he had to find the shrimp hiding in it, so he also helped dig.

The mud and sand were very soft, and they easily dug half a meter deep.

But soon Zhang He stopped and signaled Mo Qiong to surface.

The two floated up, and Zhang He shook his head and said, "That doesn't look like a shrimp hole."

"I think so too, it's deep and narrow, and there's gas coming out of it, what do you think it could be?" Mo Qiong said.

Zhang He thought for a long time, and still felt that it would only be like this if there were shrimps in it.

"Strange... The hole is too small, so much air, it's definitely not emitted by ordinary shrimps, only shrimps can exhaust gas." Zhang He said.

Mo Qiong smiled and said, "Won't we know if we dig it open?"

Zhang He nodded and said, "Let's get on board and take our equipment."

The unknown of the sea can only be known by discovery. Zhang He is an idealistic sailor with a high curiosity, which is why Mo Qiong chose to discover it with him.

If it were Xiao Kun and others, they would probably just ignore it.

After wearing diving suits and taking tools, the two came to the small hole again and started digging.

Unexpectedly, when they dug one meter deep, they dug out the skeleton, which was buried in the soil and soaked in the sea for who knows how many years, and almost turned into bone residue.

After Zhang He dug out several, he suddenly realized that it was a human skeleton.

"Fuck..." Zhang He hurriedly floated to the surface.

When Mo Qiong came up, he said, "Can this be the breath of a dead person?"

It is normal to dig out skeletons in the mud on the seabed, and who knows how many years ago he died here.

Mo Qiong smiled and said, "It's just a bone, you are afraid."

Zhang He shook his head and smiled, "I'm not afraid... I just didn't expect to dig out human bones."

As he said that, he suddenly got excited and shouted, "Xiao Mo, let's keep digging. There might be good things around here!"

"Why?" Mo Qiong was stunned, thinking, do you know there is a treasure now?

Zhang He smiled and said, "This bone has been here for at least hundreds of years. Maybe there are old things around here."

"Xiao Mo, believe me, there are definitely surprises here."

Mo Qiong understood, and it turned out that this was a good thing.

It is obvious that Zhang He has never thought about the direction of pirate treasure. For him, there are some personal belongings around the skeleton. If they can be preserved until now, they are all treasures.

As he said that, Zhang He got excited and dived down on his own.

However, Zhang He, who didn't know there was a treasure underneath, dug horizontally, cleared the surrounding corals, dug up a large area of ​​silt, and found that many skeletons were buried here.

And Mo Qiong continued to dig deeper, staying in the same place and digging continuously.

At a depth of about two meters, Mo Qiong suddenly dug up a box.

It was a mahogany box with a damaged surface. After digging through the silt, Mo Qiong saw the can he shot out at first sight.

"The crown is in the box, and my can directly knocked the box open." Mo Qiong was helpless.

He saw that the can was also squeezed and the GPS inside was useless. Obviously, the can could not bear it after being squeezed all the way to a depth of two meters underground.

Mo Qiong held the can and swam out of the deep pit. Seeing that Zhang He didn't pay attention, he threw the can far away and let it chase a group of fish away.

After a while, Zhang He looked over and saw Mo Qiong gestured to him.

When he also swam into the deep pit and saw the treasure chest, he was stunned.

From the broken mouth of the box, you can directly see that there are a lot of jewels inside, and there is a gorgeous crown inlaid with more than forty pearls placed on the top.

"This is a treasure place!" Zhang He realized this instantly without any reminders.

He wanted to pick up the treasure chest, but the box was heavy and it was difficult to float up while holding it.

But when he opened it, he found that there were corners of other boxes in the mud beside it.

"There are more around!" Zhang He looked at Mo Qiong and gestured.

Mo Qiong nodded, and dug out a few more boxes with him, but the more they dug, the more they saw around.

The two played for so long and dug for so long, and the air tanks were exhausted, so they had to float to the surface.

"Fuck! There is a treasure buried here!" Zhang He said excitedly as soon as he went up.

Mo Qiong was also excited and said, "Is this the good stuff you said?"

Zhang He grabbed Mo Qiong and growled, "Too many good things! I thought some ancient coins were good, but I didn't expect there were so many boxes, treasures! Do you know what treasure is!"

Seeing him so excited, Mo Qiong took the opportunity to test him, "But how can we take so many boxes back?"

Zhang He said, "Are you afraid that you can't take the treasure back after finding it? Let's call everyone to help, find all the boxes, and move them onto the boat. The things in these boxes are definitely worth a lot of money."

"Then are we rich?" Mo Qiong said with a look of surprise.

Zhang He, however, was grinning to himself: "I actually found a treasure, and this is my first time! Hahahaha!"

"Xiao Mo, do you know? In the ocean exploration circle, finding treasure is one of our greatest pleasures. Some big guys I know only fished out some ancient coins and found some broken pottery jars, which is considered a treasure in the circle..."

"But we found the real treasure! These treasure chests must have been buried here hundreds of years ago. This is the real underwater treasure!"

"Hahaha, we found it so easily!"

"I must be a destiny explorer! Go with the flow. I will drift for a few days when I go out to sea!"
