After resting for about half an hour, the two estimated that it was about time before putting on their diving gear again and diving into the sea.
Using the dim light from the seabed, Ah-Can swam ahead.
Since Feng Ye didn't know the location of the sunken ship, he could only follow behind.
The seabed has limited visibility; you can't see very far. Even if you swim a little distance away from the shipwreck, you might not be able to spot it.
Therefore, they didn't actually see any sign of the sunken ship for the time being.
However, what we saw were strips of rock standing on the seabed, like a stone forest.
In addition, I also saw a lot of scallops, octopuses, crabs, conches, and so on.
"Damn it, this is infuriating! I couldn't find it when I wanted to, but now it keeps showing up in front of me."
Feng Ye was speechless, inwardly cursing.
I went swimming a few times before, and I always brought a small net with me, but I didn't see these things much.
I didn't bring anything this time, not even a small net or a net bag, but they still appeared on their own and kept waving around in front of me.
That's really interesting.
If it weren't for the thought that there might be treasure on the sunken ship, he would have loved to go back to the ship, bring a dredging net and a sling, and catch them all.
But for now, we can only let them off the hook for the time being.
"Damn it, I'll deal with you guys after I get my hands on the treasure on the ship."
Feng Ye thought to himself, glancing at A-Can with longing, and quickly followed in his footsteps.
Finding the sunken ship is the priority.
These items are decent, but compared to the potential treasures on the shipwreck, they're not even worthy of being mentioned.
After swimming alongside Ah Can for a while, Feng Ye looked around and suddenly noticed a dark shadow on his left.
It's too far away to see clearly whether it's a shipwreck or a reef.
Ah-chan didn't see it, but kept swimming forward.
He quickly caught up with him, tugged at Ah-Can's sleeve, and pointed in the direction of the shadow.
There's no way to speak underwater, so we can only communicate through gestures.
Ah-Can looked in the direction he pointed, his eyes lit up, and he nodded.
Then, the two swam over one after the other.
As they got closer, they saw that it was indeed a large wooden ship, most of which was stuck in the mud and sand.
Judging from its design, it is clearly not a fishing boat, but a cargo ship.
It's unknown which period it dates from or how long it has been sleeping on the seabed.
The ship's hull was badly damaged due to seawater corrosion, with holes in many places.
Moreover, it was covered with various bygone organisms, such as seaweed, seagrass, and barnacles, which completely enveloped the hull.
Judging from the extent of the corrosion, it must have been there for at least a hundred years.
Even so, one can still see the ship's former size and glory.
In addition, the shipwreck has become a paradise for marine life, or a safe haven, where many fish, shrimp, crabs and other marine creatures can be seen going in and out of the broken holes.
Overjoyed, the two immediately swam around the shipwreck and began their search.
However, the result was a huge disappointment for both of them.
Neither on the ship nor on the nearby seabed did they see anything of value.
There was no gold or silver jewelry, no porcelain or jade, and not even any antiques of any value.
All that remained were dilapidated ship planks corroded by seawater, and some marine life attached to them.
"That can't be right. Could it be that there's nothing on this ship?"
Feng Ye was very puzzled.
He didn't believe a cargo ship wouldn't have no valuable cargo.
Or did someone beat them to it?
He thought about it and realized it wasn't impossible.
In the past, there were specialized pearl divers and fishermen who specialized in catching abalone and sea cucumbers.
Diving to a depth of more than ten meters is not difficult for some people who have received professional training, even without diving equipment; they can even dive even deeper.
The location is so close that someone might accidentally discover the shipwreck while diving and then loot all the valuables.
However, he was still somewhat unwilling to give up.
Ah-chan also looked disappointed.
He was hopeful that he would find another batch of gold bars, or some other treasure.
It seems that all hope is now dashed.
The two looked at each other and saw the resentment in each other's eyes.
Feng Ye surveyed the sunken ship, pointed to the location of the cabin, and prepared to go inside to search again.
He wasn't about to leave until he'd turned the ship upside down.
Ah-chan nodded in agreement.
The two cautiously approached the cabin, preparing to go inside and explore.
The entrance to the cabin was somewhat deformed by seawater corrosion, but fortunately, it was still barely possible to get in.
It was pitch black inside. Feng Ye had just turned on his flashlight when a shadow suddenly darted out from inside.
He was startled and immediately shone his flashlight in the direction.
After seeing that it was a seven or eight-pound blue spotted cat, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
If a poisonous fish, such as a stonefish, boxfish, or a sea snake, were to come along, the two of them might perish at the bottom of the sea.
Thankfully, it wasn't; it was just a bluish spot.
The blue-spotted animal seemed quite displeased with the person who disturbed it, and as it passed by Feng Ye, it even lashed his thigh hard with its tail.
Then he swam out of the cabin with an air of nonchalance and disappeared into the darkness.
Ah-chan, watching from behind, almost burst out laughing, but immediately realized they were underwater and managed to hold it in.
"This big guy has quite a temper. Damn it, he'll catch you sooner or later."
Feng Ye cursed under his breath, rubbing his slightly aching thigh, and swept the beam of his flashlight around the cabin.
The interior of the ship was in a mess, with rotten planks everywhere and various marine creatures attached to them.
He searched every corner carefully, not missing any place where treasures might be hidden.
Ah-chan followed closely behind and joined the search.
The two searched every cabin on the ship thoroughly, but still found nothing of value.
Feng Ye couldn't help but feel somewhat discouraged.
He never expected that the shipwreck he had been so hopeful about would turn out to be nothing more than an empty shell.
Without a doubt, either someone beat them to it, or the people on board survived and salvaged the cargo.
In short, there was nothing there; it was even cleaner than a face.
He sighed helplessly and turned to look at Ah-Can, only to see that Ah-Can also looked disappointed and helpless.
"Grass!"
Ah-Can slammed his fist into the wall next to him, venting his resentment.
The impact immediately stirred up a cloud of mud and sand.
This caused the cabin to creak and groan, as if it were about to fall apart at any moment.
