Chapter 112 The Snail Contains Pearls (Part 1)

Thinking of this, I turned my head to look through the observation window to see the movement in the deep stream. Unexpectedly, as soon as I turned my head, a big fish with lumps and rough skin, like a flower rock, appeared in the "Diving Bell" at some time. "From the side, the swinging tail hit the copper cabin where I was, and the diving bell immediately buzzed. I staggered around inside, and the searchlight outside was immediately knocked out by it, and the fish hit it. After that, he turned around and came back from the water again, opened his big mouth and rushed towards it, as if he wanted to swallow the copper cabin in one go.

Most of the aquatic animals in the sea respond to the moon and are born with the ability to hope for the moon. This big fish that suddenly came seemed to be attracted by the light on the diving bell. It shook its head and tail and hit it again. The diving bell was hit by it and it was gone. It was shaking so much that the two searchlights hanging outside went out on the spot. I heard the sound of metal ripples coming from the cabin. I knew that if it was hit like this again, the sealed copper cabin might break and let water in.

This special set of diving bells modified by the British is specially used for reconnaissance on the dangerous seabed. In order to cope with the harsh operating environment, in addition to some sophisticated designs, there are also complete defense measures around the cabin. There are iron bars outside the observation window. This can prevent me from being driven by ocean currents and hitting the rocks at the bottom of the sea. But when facing the moving fish, I had to take emergency measures, pull open the safety bolt that controls the water spurs, and make more than a dozen steel spikes outside the diving bell stand up, and the copper cabin immediately became a diving bell. Became a metal "hedgehog".

As soon as the water thorn popped out of the slot, the big fish with a length of seven or eight meters and a skin like a stone swam towards him. It seemed to know the power of the sharp steel thorn, but it couldn't dodge anymore. Although the fish's head was Turning around, the fish's body was stabbed squarely, and a long gash was cut in its tough skin and flesh, dragging a stream of turbid blood to the bottom of the sea.

The boss of the boat, Ruan Hei, who was in the other diving bell, turned his searchlight and traced the blood flow. I looked down through the observation window and saw several large sharks attracted by the blood swimming out of the corals and running toward the place. The injured big fish chased and bit hard, stirring up the fine sand, mud and algae on the bottom of the sea for a while, and mixed with a large amount of blood and water, completely covering up the shark's prey.

I secretly thought it was dangerous. It seems that the South China Sea Eggman’s job of collecting eggs is really not as easy as robbing Captain Jin’s tomb. At this time, the lamp for detecting the underwater terrain was damaged, and the erected steel thorns also obstructed part of the field of vision. Diving There was no point in keeping the bell underwater anymore. I quickly used the communication tube to tell everyone on the boat to remove the counterweight and slowly raise the copper cabin to the surface according to the decompression plan.

The two diving bells came out of the water one after another. The people on the Trident boat who had not entered the water were speechless when they saw that the copper shell of the diving bell had been dented by a fish in the sea. Everyone understood that the people who were collecting eggs in the South China Sea this time were stunned. The operation has officially begun. If we want to fish out the best "green heads", we have to take greater risks.

But everyone knows that you cannot withstand waves of thousands of feet, and fish of ten thousand pounds are rare. Wealth and wealth must be found in danger. Now that we have found the hiding place of the old snail and giant clam in the coral spiral, we have a clue about the egg harvesting. The morale was greatly boosted, and everyone was busy cleaning the deck in high spirits and making complete preparations for going to the sea to fish for pearls.

I stood on the deck and looked at the sea conditions. The rough South China Sea had three-foot waves even if there was no wind. But when the tide receded, the coral spiral was extremely calm. Although the sky was covered with clouds, there were no strong winds or waves. There are signs. If it weren't for the terrible phenomenon of dragons taking water from the release of sea air, the current situation in this sea area may not be as stable as it is now. It's better to catch it early than to catch it right. The tide level is very low now, which is a good opportunity for diving.

I looked around and suddenly found a dark island exposed in the sea towards the stern of the boat. I hadn't discovered it before I went into the water. When did it appear? I hurriedly raised my telescope and observed carefully. I often heard that the islands that suddenly appeared in the sea were the backs of big fish and the shells of giant turtles. Unknowing people stopped the boat and landed, causing the giant fish to dive and drag both people and boats to the bottom of the sea.

Shirley Yang said that she had just asked Uncle Ming and others to use the sea-shaking cannon to detect it. It was not a sea monster floating out of the water, but a "ghost island" created by the tide. When the tide surged, this black The island will sink underwater, and when the tide level drops, part of it will emerge from the sea, appearing and disappearing, so it is called "Ghost Island".

The Coral Spiral is an area where various mysterious phenomena gather in the sea. It is not surprising that there is a ghost island. We have heard rumors about the ghost island before in Coral Temple Village. Local fishermen and egg farmers call it a "black whale" , there are many rumors, but few people have actually seen it. If this island is used as a reference, the salvage operation will be more effective.

I planned to ask Uncle Ming to aim the boat at the Ghost Island and go to it to check it out, but Shirley Yang said that she had a bad premonition about the island and that it was not a safe place to go, so it was better not to get close to it. She advised me Dispel this idea, don't take unnecessary risks, and the tide level is too low, and the terrain around Ghost Island is higher, making it difficult for the Trident to approach.

Then Shirley Yang asked me if I had found any traces of sunken ships on the seabed? The word "sink" is the most taboo word to be mentioned at sea. When it comes to shipwrecks, it must be replaced by the lingo "sheng". But I don't believe this evil. When we were on the boat, I forced the captain of the ship to shout the word "sink" more than a thousand times, but he didn't see it. The ship sank. Since then, I don’t really believe in it. Maybe it’s because if there are people on the ship who are strong enough, it would be difficult to sink the ship. Shirley Yang doesn’t have this Chinese taboo.

I shrugged my shoulders at her. There wasn't even a ship on the bottom of the sea. But I couldn't give up hope just yet, because I found several troughs with unpredictable depths, like deep valleys on the bottom of the sea. Look at the size of the nearby snails, clams, corals, and iron trees. They are all rare in the world. If the life of the seabed is not too strong, it is difficult to have such a landscape. It is 100% sure that this is the end of the remaining veins of Nanlong. If there is really Yin Fire on the seabed, it must be spurting out from these deep valleys. Then the legend The shipwreck cemetery in the sea should not be far from here. Let everyone pay more attention when going to the sea to collect eggs. Maybe there will be breakthrough discoveries.

Shirley Yang nodded in agreement. At this time, Duo Ling came to the deck to call everyone to start dinner. We went down to the cabin to have a good meal and discussed the egg harvesting plan together. According to the information fed back by the ship boss Ruan Hei and I from the seabed survey, the coral forest was The vast terrain was drawn into a simple map. (To be continued.
