As they were talking, everyone had already arrived at the back cliff of Coral Temple Island. The terrain of this island was peculiar, with protruding edges on all sides and a depression in the middle. From a distance, it looked like a blooming lotus.

For this reason, there are only two places in the southeast and southwest of the island where ships can be moored, and the pier where Chen Ziyan disembarked is one of them.

However, what outsiders don’t know is that there is an old water cave under the cliff behind the island. There is another secret in this deep water cave, and you can take advantage of it to go out to sea during high tide.

This is the escape route left by some people on the island. If the Hailiu ship was not too evil, they would not have told Hu Bayi and others.

Standing at the entrance of the water cave and looking inside, Chen Ziyan discovered that there were many styles of ships here, and from all ages, including fishing boats, cargo ships, and sailing ships.

In addition to the intact ships, there are many damaged shipwrecks on both sides, and the overall look is like a large repair shop.

"It is said that this place used to be a pirate hideout. Those old wooden boats are at least several decades old, and there are many hundreds of years old boats in the deep."

Wang Kaixuan showed off the information he had found out.

This is what they heard from the man who sold the boat last time they came here.

"If you have time, take a walk here and you might find some good stuff." Chen Ziyan said with a smile.

He knew that this place had been looted countless times by the people on the island, but it was because of his information gap. Some things were worthless now, but they would be priceless in ten or twenty years.

He was sure that he would find something similar here.

"That's great!" Wang Kaixuan became interested when he heard this. He was interested in making money.

Although I have no worries about food and clothing for a long time, as long as I don't spend money badly, I will never have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of my life.

But hearing about this kind of thing can still motivate him.

Seeing that Wang Kaixuan was about to run off again, Hu Bayi quickly said, "Master Chen, our boat is inside, and we still have to walk a distance."

After saying this, he led the way in front and blocked Wang Kaixuan's words with practical actions.

Chen Ziyan didn't say much and followed Hu Bayi into the cave.

There is a bend deep in the water cave. The cliff here cracks, revealing a gap through which sunlight from outside can shine in.

The Hailiu boat that Chen Ziyan had been thinking about was in the shadow where no light could reach.

This is a ship of very ancient shape. Compared with the current ship types, it can be said to be completely bizarre in shape. You can tell at a glance that it is not a modern product.

The sea willow boat is not big in size and is a small boat that can carry no more than twenty people.

The entire ship is made of wood. The dark hull glows faintly under the light of the flashlight, and its strange shape makes people feel strange when they look at it.

It can be said that even if nothing had happened, many legends would have been circulated about this ship.

Walking to the side of the boat and touching it, Chen Ziyan nodded with satisfaction, feeling that the hull was still solid.

It is worthy of being called sea willow. Even after so many years, it still looks as good as new without any damage.

Chen Ziyan actually didn't know much about such a rare thing as the sea willow, and he had never seen it in person. He only knew that although it looked like a willow tree, it was actually a motionless marine creature.

It is said that it took tens of thousands of years to form, and every inch of it is a treasure. Of course, not many people agree with this statement, otherwise the ship would not have survived until now.

If sea willow is really more valuable than gold, then let alone the fact that this ship is cursed, even if this ship can spread plague, it probably won't stop those greedy people.

In fact, in coastal areas, there are two views on sea willow. One is that using sea willow in important components of the hull can gain the protection of the water god.

Another theory is that sea willow is a naturally yin object that will automatically absorb obscure things, and making ships with it will often produce strange things.

Obviously, at least in this sea area, the latter statement should be believed.

"This ship is very old. I heard it's at least a hundred years old. It's good enough to be put in a museum." Hu Bayi also came over: "The people on the island said that a few years ago a British salvage team came here and took a fancy to this ship. They spent a lot of money to renovate it, but before it could go out to sea, those foreigners died inexplicably. So the people on the island are very taboo about this ship. They don't even dare to move it away, so they can only let it stay here."

This was also one of the reasons for his previous dissatisfaction.

Because no matter how you look at it, this ship is a bit weird.

But now he doesn't think so, because according to Chen Ziyan, this old ship has mysteries that outsiders don't know.

If that's the case, then it's normal to be a little weird.

As for the bizarre death of the British expedition team, it was naturally because they were not destined to hold such a treasure.

If it were in the past, Hu Bayi would have been skeptical about this statement, but now that he himself has special abilities, his thoughts have naturally changed.

"This ship used to be a combat speedboat, but now it has been converted into a professional salvage ship, which saves us a lot of trouble."

Chen Ziyan looked at the boat in front of him and said softly.

Although the Hailiu ship looks a bit out of proportion due to the modification, it is not a bad thing for them.

Because even if they did it themselves, the final result would not be as good as it is now. After all, the salvage team is composed of professionals who have been engaged in this field for many years.

After their transformation, this ship can now not only fight but also conduct underwater operations. Although it is still not as good as those specially customized salvage ships, it is already considered a fine product among the transformed ships.

"That's right. The British put a lot of effort into it. They installed copper plates below the waterline. And for safety reasons, they changed the power to four propellers that can switch between steam, coal and motor, making the ship very maneuverable and flexible."

Hu Bayi also nodded.

He was very satisfied with this, as it not only enhanced his ability to resist risks, but also provided him with flexible maneuverability.

"There are two water cannons on it. Even if we encounter that giant fish that swallows the boat, we are still capable of fighting." Wang Kaixuan added.

He cares more about weapons than performance.

Although Shirley Yang didn't say anything, from the way she frequently glanced at the two diving bells behind the boat, it was clear that she was quite interested in this equipment.

Speaking of which, Chen Ziyan was also very satisfied with the pair of diving bells. Although this bulky airtight diving tool was clumsy and primitive to use, it was able to effectively observe the seabed in the deep sea where dangers abounded.

If used properly, it might be of great help.

After all, no one dares to say what they will encounter in such a deep sea. If they can have such a thing to protect them when diving, their safety will undoubtedly be greatly improved. (End of this chapter)
