Chapter 349 The Abnormality of the Sea Turtle



What else could be golden yellow?!

Fu Wan hurriedly swam over and dug away the thin layer of mud and sand on the surface. After digging it out and wiping the mud and sand off, she found that it was indeed a gold bar.

What's odd is that this thing is almost identical to the gold bar that was obtained by helping Gao Huan damselfish before.

They were both unmarked and roughly the same size.

Even the broken wooden box with its edges slightly exposed at the bottom was exactly the same as the previous one.

But strangely, Fu Wan was certain that this sea area was definitely not the place Gao Huan had taken her to before.

Presumably, someone threw things off the ship along the way to reduce its weight.

However, now was not the time to dwell on that. Fu Wan quickly dug out all the gold bars from the mud and sand, then took out the net she carried with her and prepared to throw them in.

Fortunately, the mesh of the net bag she was carrying was small; otherwise, the gold bars might have easily fallen out if put inside.

However, just to be on the safe side, she plucked some seaweed from the nearby rocks, twisted it into a long rope, and then tied all the gold bars together before stuffing them into a net bag.

After finishing, Fu Wan nodded in satisfaction, feeling much safer now.

After doing all that, Fu Wan swam over to examine the sunken ship.

The cabin window was broken, and Fu Wan pushed it open with almost no effort, using only a gentle push.

The moment it was pushed open, a lot of wood chips mixed with seawater scattered.

Fu Wan instinctively closed her eyes, and after a lot of mental preparation, she finally opened them.

However, when she saw the situation inside the cabin, she was stunned for a moment, and almost forgot to breathe.

There were no ghosts. The cabin was in complete disarray, with broken planks and shattered glass everywhere you looked.

There were also many wooden crates inside, and because of the sound of the falling planks, two crates near the cabin door even fell quite a bit.

It looked like it was about to fall off but couldn't.

Looking through the cabin door, Fu Wan noticed that many wooden crates were scattered on the other side of the ship.

These wooden boxes looked almost identical to the gold bar box I had just opened.

Goodness gracious, those aren't all gold bars, are they?!

Thinking of this, Fu Wan could no longer hold back and quickly swam over, then stopped next to the nearest wooden box.

The box was locked, and she shook it several times, but the lock didn't budge.

Fortunately, there was a box with a cracked wooden board next to her. Fu Wan used the back of her knife to pry open the crack, and then with a strong pull, a box full of gold bricks reappeared in front of her.

Perhaps because of the gold bars she had just seen, Fu Wan quickly recovered from the dazzling display of gold. She counted the number of wooden boxes on the ground and found that there were at least twenty of them.

This doesn't even include those that didn't fall out of the cabin earlier.

The possibility of getting so many wooden crates up there by herself was practically zero. Although Fu Wan felt it was a pity, she knew that this matter would most likely have to be reported.

Moreover, this box of gold bricks was different from the previous gold bars; there were several symbols on it, but Fu Wan couldn't make out what they were at the moment.

But the only thing that was certain was that these gold bricks wouldn't be easy to sell, since they had marks on them. Thinking of this, she swam around the shipwreck again.

There weren't many boxes on the back of the shipwreck; mostly just some seaweed growing haphazardly.

There wasn't much to see around, and since the location of the shipwreck had been confirmed, Fu Wan decided to give the sea turtles some more sea urchins as a token of her gratitude before surfacing.

While the sea urchins were successfully opened, the sea turtles were kept extremely busy.

Especially Fugui, it kept digging at a rock, no matter how much Fu Wan tempted it with sea urchins, it had never seen this guy before.

Something was definitely amiss, so Fu Wan quickly put down the sea urchin in her hand and swam over to see what the boy was doing.

The rock that Fugui Pala is an unusual dark red rock, and under its claws, you can vaguely see a brownish stone hidden in the mud and sand.

Thinking about the turtles' previous achievements, Fu Wan quickly offered her help, thinking there might be some treasure inside!

Only after the man and the turtle worked hard to dig away the surface mud and sand did they discover that the rock actually had patterns!

The pattern looked somewhat familiar, and Fu Wan didn't immediately recognize it. But after Fu Gui fiddled with it a few more times, Fu Wan suddenly realized what it meant.

What familiar patterns? Aren't those the patterns on the back of a hawksbill turtle?!

Could it be that there's a sea turtle hiding in the mud and sand here?

Fu Wan immediately dismissed the possibility, because the stone was firmly trapped by visible mud and sand, and did not look like a living thing at all.

It must be a hawksbill turtle that has already passed away.

Since she had already passed away, Fu Wan had no intention of continuing to dig.

Who would be so kind as to dig up someone else's sea turtle's grave for no reason?

But Fugui wouldn't give up. Not only did it not give up, it also dragged Huakai, who was eating sea urchins, over. The two sea turtles started digging around in that spot together.

If you didn't know better, you'd think these two turtles had some kind of grudge against the turtles in the mud.

There were still things about the animal world that she didn't understand. Fu Wan shook her head and lifted the net, preparing to float to the surface. Upon seeing this, Fu Gui immediately panicked.

It immediately dropped the tortoise shell and then held onto Fu Wan's hand tightly.

The old sea turtle beside them glanced at them indifferently and continued to calmly eat its sea urchin.

Fu Wan was helpless. Not only did Fu Gui not let go, but it also bit quite hard. Fu Wan rarely saw it so impatient.

Even when the flower bloomed and laid eggs last time, it remained completely calm.

Meanwhile, Hua Kai had already pried out most of the hawksbill turtle's shell. Upon seeing this, the old sea turtle that was eating sea urchins suddenly raised its head and swam over quickly.

It not only forcefully pushed the flower open, but even used its head to lift up the turtle's shell.

My goodness!

This terrified Fu Wan!

You lot not only dug up the graves of your own clan, but you also dug up their remains!

But it wasn't long before Fu Wan also noticed something was wrong.

It's important to know that sea turtles also have bones. Even if the meat is eaten by fish and shrimp, the turtle bones should remain on the shell.

However, what the old sea turtle was lifting up was clearly just an empty shell.

That's a bit strange.

Not only that, Fugui even started digging through the mud and sand under the tortoise shell again, as if there were some extraordinary treasures inside.

Fu Wan became interested, because she saw that Fu Gui had actually pulled out a small piece of brightly colored cloth from under its paws.

Even in the gray depths of the sea, Fu Wan could still tell that the cloth was unusual.

This is not the rough cotton and linen fabric that people wear nowadays, but looks like the fine silk and satin used by ancient nobles.

So Fu Wan quickly put down the net in her hand, preparing to follow Fu Gui to dig out the piece of cloth.

Both the person and the tortoise worked very hard, and in no time a ball of cloth appeared in Fu Wan's hands.

Moreover, the cloth was tied in a knot, and when Fu Wan touched it, she felt a square object that seemed incredibly hard.
