Unfortunately, things in the world are often not as planned. They gave up the idea of ​​going over to find out what was going on, but the reef island slowly approached the Trident.

No one noticed it at first because the island moved so slowly that it was hard to spot even if you kept watching it.

Fortunately, for fear of accidents, Chen Ziyan and his team did not remove the searchlight, so when the island was out of the landing point of the light beam, it was quickly discovered by the people on the boat.

After all, the appearance of this reef island was strange. Even if there were some guesses, the people on the deck would take a look at it when they had nothing to do.

Huo Ling was the first to discover the problem. Although others would also pay attention to it, they had other things to do. She and Chen Wenjin were the only ones who were truly idle on the boat.

When she told the others about her discovery, everyone returned to their previous positions and looked towards the reef island again.

"There's something strange about this island, what should we do?" asked Hu Bayi.

The subtext of this statement is simply asking whether to leave or stay. Judging from the direction of the island's movement, it is not difficult to see that the target is where they are.

If no action is taken, the two will probably collide soon.

"Shirley, how are things going over there?" Chen Ziyan did not answer immediately, but looked at Shirley Yang.

She was drawing a simple seabed topography map based on the information she had just obtained from underwater reconnaissance.

The diving bell was equipped with the latest detection equipment, which could record simple terrain through sound waves, so after making sure there was no problem with the reef island, she went to work on this matter.

If the topographic map has already been produced, then it doesn't matter if we move the position a little bit, because it has been confirmed that the wreck of the Mary Sena is not there.

"It's basically been mapped out." Shirley Yang replied first, then asked with some concern: "But this island won't chase us, right?"

She felt that it was no accident that this reef island was coming towards them, and leaving would not necessarily help them get rid of the other party.

"Let's avoid it first. If it doesn't work, we'll find another way to solve it." Chen Ziyan made a decision immediately after hearing this.

He thought about it and decided to ignore this suddenly appearing island for the time being.

In such a place with dense reefs, even though the Trident is not large in size, it cannot be deployed. If it is damaged, it will be completely not worth it.

Moreover, given the current speed at which the island is moving, it is not easy to catch up with them.

After all, they already had a route, and now they were about to obtain a simple topographic map of the seabed, so their normal actions would not be restricted.

"Okay, let's take a look first." Hu Bayi nodded slightly.

He still agreed with Chen Ziyan's decision. After all, he had no better solution.

If this is not done, there is only one way to go, which is to face this strange island head on.

Then Chen Ziyan looked at Shirley Yang again: "Shirley, tell me about the situation on the seabed."

Now that we have decided to take shelter for a while, the next step is to choose the next place to stay.

"According to the records on the diving bell, we are at the edge of an underwater basin. The basin in front should be the center of the coral spiral."

"Since nothing has been found on the periphery, the Mary Senor we are looking for should be inside."

"I see." Chen Ziyan nodded: "Then let's go in and take a look."

According to his understanding, the so-called underwater basin is also an underwater forest with many coral trees that have grown for thousands of years. It was once described in detail in the original plot and is truly magnificent.

Especially the translucent tree in the most core position. Because it is closest to the sea eye, it has been baptized by the sun, moon and sea air for countless years. When Chen Ziyan saw it at the beginning, he still remembered it clearly.

After determining the next course of action, everyone on the boat stopped paying attention to the reef island and began to act separately.

Soon the Trident started moving and headed towards the underwater basin.

Not long after the ship had been sailing, the number of Yin Fires on the seabed began to increase significantly. Even in some places where the Yin Fires were dense, the scene on the seabed could be vaguely seen.

Seeing this scene, Chen Ziyan felt that they should be closer to their destination, or even had arrived.

Because he remembered that the surviving crew members of the Mary Seno had once said that after they encountered an overwhelming hurricane, the seabed where they were trapped was as bright as day.

This description is so similar to the scene before my eyes.

"The area ahead should be where the Southern Dragon Yin Fire is gushing out. This is different from those Yin Fire Dragon Lanterns just now. If the location of the shipwreck is more than two hundred meters away, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to find it." Hu Bayi said in a deep voice as he looked at the scene under the sea.

Although the use of Feng Shui techniques has been repeatedly hindered in the Coral Spiral waters due to the complex undercurrents, if it weren't for the mountain-moving secret treasure provided by Shirley Yang, he wouldn't even be able to deduce the exact route.

But this does not mean that other knowledge is useless. For example, the scene before us happens to be one of the few places in the coral spiral that is not affected.

The surging Yin Fire at the bottom of the sea dispersed all the undercurrents.

"Do your best." Chen Ziyan said lightly.

He didn't care too much about whether he could find the Mary Senor shipwreck. Anyway, the fundamental purpose of this trip was to complete the mission, and finding the shipwreck was just a matter of convenience. Now that the reward was in hand, he couldn't and wouldn't take risks for it.

The submarine basin ahead was relatively easy to deal with, and even if there was any danger, it was still within our capabilities. But the depths of the real coral spiral were another matter.

So even if he found nothing, Chen Ziyan would not go any deeper.

In other words, their journey had come to an end.

It would be great if he could gain something, but if not, he would not force it. He would lead the team back home directly.

"Look there!"

At this moment, Shirley Yang suddenly pointed to a place below and motioned Chen Ziyan to look over there.

Looking in the direction Shirley Yang pointed, the first thing Chen Ziyan saw was a large shadow, as if something was lurking on the seabed.

After taking a closer look, he could vaguely see the shape of the edge of the shadow, which seemed to be the outline of a ship.

After discovering this, Chen Ziyan understood why Shirley Yang let them pass.

Obviously, she also discovered that this ship-like object suspected it to be the shipwreck they were looking for.

However, Chen Ziyan did not rush to draw a conclusion. Instead, he looked at Hu Bayi and asked, "Old Hu, what do you think?"

There are many undercurrents and whirlpools underwater in this place, so it would be better to ask an expert for his opinion.

"I think it's most likely a shipwreck cemetery." Hu Bayi touched his chin and said uncertainly.

"Shipwreck graveyard?"

"Well, in some low-lying areas, shipwrecks pulled by ocean currents gather. In addition, the bottom of such places is usually muddy, so over time, a shipwreck graveyard will be formed."

"There's one near Coral Temple Island, so that's why I thought of it first."

Hu Bayi briefly explained what a shipwreck graveyard was, and then said to Chen Ziyan:

"Master Chen, I think we can go over there and take a look. Although there are many undercurrents around the shipwreck cemetery, they all converge towards the center, so the sea surface is actually very safe. In addition, it is not affected by the surrounding Yin Fire, so it is a good place to stay."

He felt that if they wanted to stay for a while, the area above the shipwreck cemetery would be the best choice.

Because as far as he knew, the dangers of this special terrain were all under the sea and would not be affected on the surface.

It can also avoid the Yin Fire in the sea water, which is a good choice.

Don’t think that the Yin Fires in the sea are calm now, but they are not without lethality, especially when so many Yin Fires gather together, ordinary ships will find it difficult to withstand them once they erupt.

Especially since their ship, the Trident, is a wooden ship, it is better to avoid it.

"Okay, let's go over and take a look first." Chen Ziyan thought about it and agreed.

Although he already had the idea of ​​going back, the purpose of this trip was to help Professor Chen. Chen Ziyan didn't care about Professor Chen, but he had to consider Shirley Yang's feelings, so he still had to show the proper attitude.

After informing Ruan Hei to move towards the shadow, Chen Ziyan looked at Hu Bayi and asked, "Old Hu, is there anything I should pay attention to regarding the shipwreck cemetery?"

Hu Bayi recalled for a moment and said slowly, "If we go down to explore, we probably won't be able to use the diving bell. Generally speaking, the surface of a shipwreck graveyard is covered with mud and barnacles because of the direction of the ocean currents, which means that most of the shipwrecks are buried underneath. We don't know how long the shipwreck graveyard here has existed. It is estimated that this layer of crust is very thick. We can only go inside to search, which has a lot of uncertainty."

The implication is obvious: danger will definitely exist, but it is difficult to predict.

"Is that so?" Chen Ziyan nodded slowly after hearing that.

He understood what Hu Bayi meant, and had secretly decided in his heart that the person to be sent down this time needed to be chosen carefully.

It wasn't long before the Trident arrived above the shadow, but it was still difficult to see the situation below, so after observing for a while, Chen Ziyan and the others decided to go down and take a look.

The diving plan was quickly worked out, with two groups going down, each with two people so that they could look after each other.

Chen Ziyan is in a group with Wang Kaixuan, while Hu Bayi is in a group with Gu Cai.

Logically speaking, Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan should be arranged together, after all, the two of them have a close understanding of each other, but considering the underwater combat effectiveness, Chen Ziyan separated the two.

It can be said that there are only two people on the entire ship who have super-long underwater endurance, namely Chen Ziyan and Gu Cai.

Putting the two of them together is undoubtedly a waste of resources.

As for Wushuang Gui and Huahu, Chen Ziyan thought about it and finally decided to leave them on the boat.

After their four main combat forces went into the water, the defensive force on the ship was already greatly insufficient. If they even took the puppet armor with them, it would be difficult to cope with the danger if they really encountered it.

Chen Ziyan has not forgotten what happened before, so he feels it is necessary to take precautions. (End of this chapter)
