"This must be a giant beast in the sea." Hu Bayi couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the giant turtle skeleton hanging in front of him.

Unlike other creatures, the body size of a turtle often does not exceed its shell, so it is easy to estimate its size before birth.

With its thick shell and huge body, this turtle skeleton could be called a biological tank when it was alive.

Its performance on land is not clear yet, but it is definitely a killer weapon in the sea.

If an ordinary ship encounters this giant turtle, it would be difficult for it to withstand the impact.

"Giant creatures emerge from the deep sea. People's exploration of the ocean is still very superficial, so it's not surprising that such things appear." Chen Ziyan said calmly.

However, the meaning of his words was very clear. He also agreed with Hu Bayi's statement that the turtle skeleton in front of him was definitely a giant sea beast when it was alive.

Then Chen Ziyan turned his attention to the coffin carried by the turtle skeleton. Compared to the obvious turtle skeleton, this strange coffin attracted him more.

After a careful look, Chen Ziyan discovered that the reason why the coffin was grayish white was not only because it had been in the deep sea for many years, resulting in a layer of mottled grayish white coral polyps attached to it, but also because the material of the coffin itself was a similar color, so it looked like a grayish white sarcophagus.

"Wait... this feeling..."

After the coffin and the turtle skeleton fell on the deck, Chen Ziyan took a few steps forward and slowly placed his fingers on it.

When the cool touch from his fingertips reached his brain, he immediately realized that something was wrong.

Because the texture of the stone is not like this, although the surface of the sarcophagus is a bit rough, Chen Ziyan can clearly tell that this roughness is caused by the coral polyps on it, not from the sarcophagus itself.

The part without any debris attached to it gave Chen Ziyan the feeling that...

Just as Chen Ziyan was thinking, Wang Kaixuan beside him suddenly said, "Eh? Master Chen, Lao Hu, why does this thing look so similar to the green-headed ones we received?"

A word to wake up the dreamer!

Chen Ziyan, who had already figured out the clue, thought of the answer instantly.

That’s right, Qingtou.

The material of the sarcophagus in front of me is very similar to the jade products produced in the sea.

In fact, he had already thought of this subconsciously, but because he had not come into contact with many antiques from the sea before, especially jade products, and had only come into close contact with the box of green heads, he did not think of it at the first time.

"Could this be a jade coffin?" Hu Bayi looked at Chen Ziyan subconsciously.

If this is the case, it is really a pleasant surprise. If the coffin is made of stone, it has historical significance at most, but if such a large coffin is made of jade, it itself has considerable value.

"It's possible." Chen Ziyan nodded slightly to him.

Although more detailed verification is still needed, just based on the delicate touch hidden under the roughness, Chen Ziyan is already 60 to 70 percent sure that the coffin in front of him is a jade coffin.

"How much can such a big jade coffin be worth?" Wang Kaixuan's eyes suddenly changed when he looked at the coffin.

"A priceless treasure." After pondering for a moment, Chen Ziyan slowly uttered these four words.

He was not making this up, but rather making a judgment based on the material of the coffin and its possible historical value.

"A priceless treasure..." Upon hearing this, Wang Kaixuan's face suddenly fell.

He is most afraid of hearing this word now, because Chen Ziyan usually does not sell treasures of this value, but only puts them in museums.

Although he also has a small share in the museum, compared with the price of a direct sale, that little dividend is nothing.

"Look, there seems to be something on this coffin and the tortoise shell."

Chen Ziyan was just about to say something to comfort Wang Kaixuan, but before he could open his mouth, Shirley Yang's voice suddenly rang out, drawing his attention.

Is there something on the coffin?

He was so busy studying the material of the coffin that he didn't notice this.

Seeing Chen Ziyan and the others looking at her, Shirley Yang, who had come to the side of the coffin at some point, pointed at the coffin in front of her and said, "Look for yourselves."

When Chen Ziyan walked over and took a look, he discovered that there were indeed some traces of artificial carving on the vaguely exposed part of the coffin, but there was a lot of dirt on the coffin, so he couldn't see clearly what was on it.

But this is easy to deal with. In order to deal with such situations, the ship is equipped with corresponding equipment that can directly pump water from the sea for flushing.

When the faucet was turned on, a strong stream of water fell on the coffin.

After seeing the water emerging from the pipe, which had a bit of ink-colored tint but was mostly its original color, Chen Ziyan knew that his previous guess was correct. The ink-black color on the sea surface was the oil and carbon on the seabed.

But this thought only flashed through his mind, and the next moment he looked at the coffin. (End of this chapter)
