Fu Wan didn't know if all sea turtles had the habit of shoving people, but they were, after all, living ancestors of the sea, so she had to give them some face.
If you've already pried it apart, can't you bite it back?
But just as she was wondering why the turtle was pulling her, it immediately let go and turned to swim in another direction.
After swimming a few steps, he stopped and turned to see if Fu Wan had caught up.
For some reason, Fu Wan felt that the scene looked somewhat familiar, so she hurriedly followed.
Although sea turtles are turtles, they actually swim very fast in the sea. Fu Wan was carrying two nets at this moment, so her swimming speed was somewhat slower than before.
Just as the sea turtle turned around several times to see if Fu Wan was following, Fu Wan was quite certain that it was intentionally leading her somewhere!
The two of them swam in the sea for about ten minutes. Fu Wan only remembered encountering many schools of fish and patches of coral reefs.
She didn't realize she was in an unfamiliar sea until the sea turtle stopped.
Before us were several large black rocks, studded with colorful anemones, among which many orange and white clownfish darted in and out.
The clownfish were so cute that Fu Wan couldn't resist reaching out to tease them.
The clownfish had never seen a two-legged creature like Fu Wan before. At first, it thought she was an enemy and hid. When it realized that Fu Wan didn't attack them, it boldly bumped into Fu Wan's fingers with its body.
Unfortunately, Fu Wan was wearing gloves, so she couldn't feel the clownfish.
However, there was one clownfish that was particularly bold. It kept chasing Fu Wan's finger with its mouth, and Fu Wan was amused by its ugly-cute appearance.
While the person and several fish were having a great time, the sea turtle next to them was not idle.
It started digging at the mud and sand under the reef, and after much effort, it managed to pull out a corner of something. Just as it was about to show it to its two-legged friend, it turned around and found that the two-legged friend was just teasing the fish!
This is infuriating!
What happened to the saying that all two-legged creatures love glitter?!
The sea turtle stopped scratching and darted to Fu Wan's side at top speed. Its sharp upper jaw pecked at Fu Wan's finger that was teasing the fish. If Fu Wan hadn't reacted quickly, she would have been pecked.
What's going on?
Who dared to offend this ancestor?!
Fu Wan withdrew her hand and guiltily touched the turtle's back.
Well, she didn't mean to get distracted; the clownfish was just too cute!
Look at how tiny it is, and how beautiful its color is. It's always happily burrowing in and out of the anemone. Anyone would be confused by that!
Seeing that her attention had finally shifted to itself, the sea turtle, somewhat haughtily, tugged at Fu Wan's glove with its mouth and pulled her to the spot where it had just dug.
Fu Wan had originally intended to soothe the sea turtle, but her attention was soon drawn to something on the ground.
Wait, why does this look like a wooden box on the ground?
Fu Wan became excited. The seabed, the wooden box—what did that mean? It meant there was treasure!
Without even having time to think, she started digging at the wooden box with her bare hands. When her hands were covered in mud and sand, she suddenly remembered that she had tools, so why was she digging with her bare hands?
Are you stupid?!
Fu Wan slapped her forehead in frustration, then took out the small knife she always carried.
This knife should be renamed the All-Purpose Knife from now on. It can be used to scoop up barnacles for sea turtles and dig up treasures on the seabed!
However, Fu Wan was afraid of damaging the wooden box if she used the sharpened side of the knife to dig directly, so she turned the knife around and used the back of the knife to start scraping away the mud and sand.
Dig, dig, dig! Dig and dig in the deep sea!
Seeing that most of the box was exposed, Fu Wan felt very tired. After thinking for a moment, she decided to carefully pry the wooden box up with the back of her knife.
To her surprise, the wooden crate didn't budge after two attempts to pry it open. Having no other option, she took the harpoon from her back, used it to clear away some of the mud and sand around the crate, and finally managed to pry it out from the mud and sand by applying pressure to the bottom.
This wooden box is much bigger than the one we got when we helped Gao Huan get the damselfish. The box itself wasn't damaged, but the lock broke easily, probably due to seawater corrosion.
Fu Wan didn't know what was in the box.
But it only took her a second to find out.
Fu Wan placed one hand on the wooden box and the other hand over her chest, where she could clearly feel her heart beating very fast.
May the Goddess Mazu bless this box with valuable treasures!
The old sea turtle, watching Fu Wan's actions, began to question its own existence.
These two-legged creatures don't seem very smart!
After mentally preparing herself, Fu Wan quickly opened the wooden box with her eyes closed. When she opened her eyes, she was still shocked.
My God!
Even though she was somewhat prepared, she was still almost blinded by the box's dazzling gold color.
These weren't the gold bars she'd found before, but rather neatly stacked gold bricks.
It looks somewhat similar to the blue bricks used to build my house, but it's much smaller.
BRICS, who understands that?
In her entire life, she had only ever seen gold bricks on her phone, and that was in news reports about gold bricks in museums.
I never expected that there would be such a big box of gold bricks, so shiny and beautiful, right in front of me!
Fu Wan reached out and picked up a piece, but because of the current in the sea, she couldn't gauge the weight of the gold brick.
However, there has only ever been one way to identify gold, so she simply picked up a piece and brought it to her mouth, no longer caring about whether it was clean or not, and took a bite first.
After biting it, take a closer look at the gold brick; two tooth marks are clearly visible on both sides of the gold brick.
Goddess Mazu, this is true gold!
Real gold! At this moment, Fu Wan was filled with nothing but joy at making a fortune and excitement.
As expected of her, she always manages to find some unexpected surprises every time she takes an order from a certain platform.
However, she wasn't stupid; she definitely owed it all to the sea turtle ancestor.
Now she looks at sea turtles with admiration and respect.
If the timing hadn't been wrong, and even if the sea turtle didn't understand, she would have kowtowed to this ancestor!
This box of gold bricks must weigh at least twenty pounds!
Based on the current gold price, this amount must be at least several hundred thousand!
However, there are certain restrictions on selling gold bricks. Fu Wan picked up two or three gold bricks and examined them carefully. Fortunately, there were no markings on them, which was similar to the gold bars she had seen before.
There are indeed many treasures in the sea!
However, she soon had a new problem. The little green dragon she had was over 20 pounds, plus the fish she had caught, and now she had this box of gold bricks. How was she going to get it back?
The load weighs fifty or sixty pounds in total. If she had to carry it all back, she would probably be exhausted before even reaching the shore.
She racked her brains but couldn't find a solution. In the end, she could only pick out some of the gold bars, take off her coat, carefully wrap the gold bars, and then put them into a net bag.
After placing the gold bricks, Fu Wan tested their weight. The half gold brick was far less heavy than the small green dragon next to it. Helpless, Fu Wan finally made a choice.
That means releasing all the little green dragons. There's no other way; compared to the little green dragons, the gold bricks are far more important.
Fortunately, the little green dragons are all very lively, so releasing them won't prevent them from continuing to live.
