Look at those wise eyes and the clearly visible scar on his head, who else could this be but the Turtle Ancestor!
The old sea turtle appeared out of nowhere, and after seeing Fu Wan clearly, it gently nudged her with its claws, and two or three sea urchins were placed at Fu Wan's feet.
Having met her several times before, Fu Wan had a pretty good grasp of her ancestor's thoughts.
He just wants to eat sea urchin and is using her as a tool!
It's a turtle, after all; opening a sea urchin is just a piece of cake for it.
Fu Wan picked up a sea urchin, cut it open with a knife, and then used the back of the knife to split it in two.
As soon as the sea urchin was opened, its orange-yellow flesh was revealed.
The old sea turtle smelled the delicious aroma and immediately stretched its head over.
At first, I only took a couple of bites, but then I buried my whole head inside the sea urchin shell.
Meanwhile, Boss Fu didn't stop, constantly prying open the abalone beside him. However, the net had limited capacity, and seeing that his net was almost full, he thought he should take these things up to the deck first before coming down.
After all, these things are quite heavy, and it's a hassle to carry them around looking for things.
However, her idea of going ashore was immediately interrupted by reality, because Fu Wan immediately spotted a flower lobster next to the coral reef not far away!
The so-called "flower lobster" is actually also called the Chinese spiny lobster. Its color is somewhat similar to that of a small green lobster, but its surface has many black and white spots, and its head also has a faint blue tinge, making it very beautiful.
Flower lobsters are very rare, and they taste much better than small green lobsters.
Furthermore, in later generations, the Chinese spiny lobster was nearly extinct due to overfishing and was eventually designated as a Class II protected animal by relevant departments.
The flower lobster in front of her was not much smaller than the small green lobster from before, so Fu Wan caught it almost without hesitation.
After all, at this time, flower lobsters were still within the catchable range.
After putting the lobsters into the net, Fu Wan handed over her catch to Boss Fu.
When she first encountered the ancestor of the sea turtles, she actually had a strange idea in her mind: maybe the old sea turtle knew where the treasure was located.
However, with Boss Fu here, she couldn't easily communicate with the old sea turtle, so she thought she could take advantage of Boss Fu delivering the things upstairs while she followed the old sea turtle to explore deeper into the area.
When Fu Laoda saw his daughter hand him all the seafood, he initially thought it was too heavy for her to carry. However, after Fu Wan gestured, he finally understood what she meant.
Boss Fu would definitely not agree to letting Fu Wan go find the treasure alone.
However, Fu Wan insisted on her actions, and the speed at which she gestured stirred up the seawater.
The child was too stubborn, and Fu Laoda was also helpless, but he eventually agreed to Fu Wan's approach.
He noticed that his daughter still looked relaxed, while he himself was finding it difficult to swim.
So just as Fu Ming and Fu Liang were getting extremely anxious, Boss Fu emerged from the water alone, dragging his belongings.
"Father, how is it? Did you find it?"
Boss Fu removed the trachea from his mouth, took a deep breath of fresh air, and then climbed onto the deck, saying, "We didn't find it. Ah Wan and I searched for a long time, but we didn't see any treasure."
After saying that, he kicked the abalone that had been left on the deck. "I didn't see any treasure, but I did manage to pry open quite a few abalone."
"What about Fu Wan?"
Fu Liang stared at the sea for a long time, but couldn't spot Fu Wan.
Old Fu sighed, "This child won't listen to advice and insists on looking again."
After hearing this, Fu Ming couldn't sit still any longer. "She didn't even wear a safety rope. What if something happens to her when she goes down?"
"No, I'll go take a look too."
As he spoke, he stood up to change into his diving gear.
Fu Liang quickly pressed him down, "Ah Ming, let's wait a little longer, it hasn't even been an hour yet."
There were still ten minutes until their agreed time.
Fu Ming wouldn't listen to any of it. Just then, there was a loud splash on the sea.
Fu Wan surfaced and waved to Fu Ming and the others as soon as she saw them.
"I found a box!"
"Really? What kind of box is this?!"
Fu Ming and Boss Fu stepped forward, preparing to pull Fu Wan up.
Unexpectedly, Fu Wan placed a small wooden box on the deck, turned around, left a sentence, and dived back into the sea.
"There's something else down there, let me take another look!"
Before the words of protest could even reach their lips, Fu Wan's figure vanished into the water.
What's in here?
Fu Ming couldn't help but be curious. He casually touched the edge of the wooden box and then forcefully lifted the lid.
"Holy crap! This...this...this..."
It's completely full; it's a whole box of pearls!
It's a rare box of pink pearls, each one almost the size of a longan.
The three of them looked at each other in bewilderment, wondering what was at the bottom of the sea.
Of the three, only Boss Fu went into the sea. Seeing Fu Ming and the other looking at him with confusion, he quickly waved his hand.
"I don't know. When I was underwater, all I saw were abalone and lobsters. I didn't see a single wooden plank, let alone a wooden box!"
Strangely enough, he had only been ashore for ten minutes when Fu Wan returned carrying a box of pearls.
Could it be that my presence in the sea is actually hindering her from finding something?
Fu thought this to himself but didn't say it aloud. The three of them looked at each other and realized something.
That means he felt like he was living off a woman, relying entirely on Fu Wan to carry him.
Fu Wan was naturally unaware of the inner thoughts of the people on the boat.
But having Boss Fu in the sea really affected her performance.
No sooner had Boss Fu left than she snatched the sea urchin from the old sea turtle's mouth.
When the old sea turtle looked at her again, she handed it back and then gestured to it to show it what the box looked like.
Whatever the treasure depicted on the map may be, it must need something to contain it.
The contents of this container are nothing but boxes.
Unexpectedly, the old sea turtle only glanced at her a few times before finally lowering its head to eat its own sea urchin.
Fu Wan thought the turtle hadn't understood her meaning and was about to give up and look elsewhere when the old sea turtle swam over to her and shook its head at her.
Honestly, how can these two-legged creatures be so impatient? Can't they see that I haven't even finished eating my sea urchin yet?
It's only because sea turtles can't talk that they would have started a cacophony of birdsong and flowery language.
Fu Wan followed the sea turtle for quite a while, and just when she thought she would have to continue diving, the old sea turtle stopped and then swam straight into a coral reef.
Fu Wan followed and found it strange that the sea turtle was standing motionless above the coral reef.
When she looked down, she spotted a small box hidden among the coral reefs!
She swam forward, suppressing her excitement, not knowing how the box had been hidden inside the coral reef. She moved aside the obstructing coral before finally managing to pull the box out.
The lock on the box was still on, but it broke after Fu Wan shook it a couple of times.
Fu Wan took a deep breath and opened the box, almost blinded by the pearls inside.
The old sea turtle watched as Fu Wan carried the box out, then shook its head, signaling Fu Wan to follow.
Does this mean there's still more?!
