If what she just picked up was a gold coin, then isn't everything in the cave...?
Fu Wan suppressed her excitement, grabbed two or three and stuffed them into her sleeve.
The mermaid's clothes had no pockets, so she had to remember the location and wait until she was sure of what she was holding before looking for an opportunity to come down and retrieve it.
Bai Qianzhou also picked up two coins and held them in his hand. He had just glanced at them and hadn't seen them clearly, but it seemed that there were several patterns on the coin that Fu Wan had wiped clean.
Because he was wearing diving goggles, the underwater visibility was very low, so Bai Qianzhou thought he would wait until he got back to see what it was.
If it were really gold coins, that would be incredibly exciting.
The two put away their things and glanced outside the cave. The tiger shark was nowhere to be seen, but a huge shadow slowly drifted past them.
It grew so long that it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it a dragon.
After all, in Chinese legends, dragons live in the sea!
Fu Wan was seeing this species for the first time. She didn't dare to approach rashly and could only suppress her surprise as she and Bai Qianzhou watched as the fish floated away like a giant ribbon.
It was a rare oarfish, at least two or three meters long.
Fu Wan didn't have any tools, and even if she did, she wasn't confident she could subdue such a long oarfish.
Oh, what a wonderful fish! I wish it lived in Chinese waters.
The oarfish is somewhat similar in shape to a ribbonfish. This fish has a laterally compressed, ribbon-like body, no scales, and is mostly silver-gray with blue-black stripes.
The oarfish is characterized by its red dorsal fin, which resembles a horse's mane, and it sometimes looks quite majestic when swimming in the sea.
Of course, the head shape of the oarfish is different from that of the ribbonfish; it even has a crown-like fin on its head.
Oarfish have long bodies, and when they swim, their ventral fins look like oars, which is quite interesting.
Oarfish generally live in the deep sea and swim somewhat like sea snakes. These fish are extremely ferocious and will even eat their own kind when they are hungry.
It is very good at hunting. It usually stands upright in the seawater with its head up and tail down. If a fish or shrimp passes by, it will bite it unexpectedly.
Fu Wan hadn't expected to encounter such a ferocious fish here. Luckily, she saw it in the sea; if she had met it on the beach, she would have had to consider running away overnight.
Because oarfish are also known as earthquake fish, possibly due to their large size, these fish have a strong ability to sense earthquakes. If there are any unusual movements on the seabed, they are easily startled and swim to the shallows.
In ancient times, the oarfish was also known as a monster of the sea, after all, it was really big, with the largest reaching three meters in length and weighing more than 500 kilograms.
Several minutes later, Fu Wan and Bai Qianzhou finally emerged from the rocky cave, watching the tip of the oarfish's tail flash past them.
To avoid arousing John's suspicion, and also to ensure a good meal tonight, Fu Wan told Bai Qianzhou to surface first, while she herself took a net and caught three large lobsters from under the coral reef.
She didn't bring a harpoon when she came down today, and John wasn't prepared either, so there was no way to catch fish.
However, three large lobsters were enough. Each lobster here weighed over two pounds, and the three lobsters felt heavy when Fu Wan carried them.
"Oh my God, you're finally up here. If you were ten minutes later, I would have called 911!"
John exclaimed in surprise when he saw Fu Wan surface.
God knows how shocked he was when he saw Bai Qianzhou, carrying oxygen equipment, appear on the sea.
It's amazing that Fu didn't carry oxygen! There are women in the world who are such good swimmers!
John was immediately impressed by Fu Wan, but Fu Wan didn't bother to talk to him and simply threw the net bag containing the lobsters at him.
"Stop talking, just take the lobster!"
While in the sea, Fu Wan didn't feel it, but once she reached the surface, she actually felt a bit tired.
It might be because it hasn't been to the sea for a while, or it could be because it was just too frightened.
With tiger sharks and oarfish involved, her delicate heart simply couldn't take it.
Fu Wan's aim was good; the lobster landed right at John's feet.
John almost let go of Bai Qianzhou's hand when he saw this.
Fortunately, Bai Qianzhou managed to grab the side of the boat, preventing him from falling back into the sea.
Tsk, these foreigners are so unreliable.
"Oh my god, Fu, did you catch all of these?"
"right!"
Fu Wan responded and then turned her back to them.
She first looked around and found that there were basically no other ships nearby, with the furthest ship appearing to be at least a hundred meters away.
Even so, she still used her hand to cover herself and pulled something out of her sleeve a little.
Although the action was a bit strange, Fu Wan didn't care.
The visibility on the sea was naturally at its best, and when the sunlight shone on Fu Wan's hand, the half of that thing that was pulled out looked like it was emitting golden light.
Golden light!!
Fu Wan immediately began to frantically kowtow to Mazu in her heart again, "Heavens above, it really is gold coins!"
However, the pattern on it was a bit strange. Fu Wan was worried that someone would see it, so she only glanced at it and then retreated back into her sleeve.
Hehe, gold coins!
Who would have thought that I would return empty-handed today, but I never expected to find such a pleasant surprise in the rocky cave that I randomly entered!
After the initial euphoria came countless worries. Who knew how many of these things were in the rocky cave? Getting them out of America would be incredibly difficult.
If we don't pick it up, wouldn't that be a waste of the good fortune bestowed by Goddess Mazu?
As Fu Wan swam toward the side of the boat, she was still thinking about how to get these things back.
Even if she didn't keep it all, donating it to the country would be better than leaving it in this sea!
Perhaps because this area is close to the sea cliffs, few ships come here, and almost no one goes into the sea like Fu Wan.
Not to mention that we just happened to find that rocky cave.
In short, it's all about fate!
"Oh, dear Wan, can you tell me if you are a diving athlete from your country?"
"Athlete? No."
As soon as Fu Wan climbed onto the boat, John couldn't wait to ask, even though he grew up in Florida, his diving skills were only so-so.
He had assumed Fu Wan was a Chinese diving athlete, but it turned out she wasn't.
Fu Wan teased him on purpose, "In China, there are many people who are very good swimmers. I'm just an ordinary fisherman."
"Fishermen?"
John was shocked. He knew fishermen, but none of them were as fair-skinned as Fu Wan, showing no signs of the sea breeze that had ravaged their skin year-round.
"Yes, it's very ordinary."
Seeing that Fu Wan had attracted John's attention, Bai Qianzhou quickly took the opportunity to hide the gold coins he had retrieved.
After Bai Qianzhou finished packing, he called John over.
