The road on the right is actually very short. After passing through a corridor, you will come to a relatively open area.

The coral reef beneath this area is huge, and near the coral reef, there are more than a dozen strange creatures living.

These creatures have the upper body of a carnivorous fish, are huge, covered with dense scales, and have serrated fangs that are chilling.

But some parts of the body are similar to humans, the most similar being the legs, which also looks very funny.

It feels like in the theory of evolution, those incompletely evolved fish only evolved two legs.

After seeing this, many of the Chosen Ones suspected that this guy might be able to get ashore.

These two-legged mermaids are motionless, and judging by their condition, they seem to be 'lying' and resting near the coral reef.

It can be judged here that the coral reef does not seem to pose a danger to these creatures.

If you look closely, you can see another detail.

There are holes near the coral reefs, and bubbles come out of them.

These two-legged mermaids resting outside should be protecting their fellow mermaids inside.

Once they are alarmed, the chosen one will surely die in the water without a burial place.

According to the rules, the two-legged mermaid has a certain degree of attack power and is not very friendly to humans.

Just looking at that bloody mouth, I guess no chosen one could withstand it.

Just when Zhang Yangqing was wondering if he had taken the wrong path, he discovered a relatively large iron cage on the ceiling.

In order to avoid the pitfall of Rule 3, he also tried to stand upside down in the water, making sure that he could see the iron cage from a bird's-eye view, and then he began to observe it carefully.

Trying his best not to disturb the two-legged mermaid, Zhang Yangqing swam over slowly.

As he got closer, Zhang Yangqing suddenly discovered that there was a standard mermaid in the cage. It seemed that she was caught and locked up by these two-legged mermaids.

The mermaid's upper body looks like a human, and every inch of her skin exudes a soft and warm luster.

Her face is elegant and refined, her eyes are as deep as the sea, shining with the bright light of stars, and she has a breathtaking beauty.

The lower half of the body was transformed into the most elegant fish tail, with scales gleaming with brilliant rainbow colors, swaying gently with the caress of the water.

The style of this mermaid is so outrageous that Zhang Yangqing even wonders whether the creator of this world has used all his skills on mermaids.

Because compared to the mermaids, those mermaids with legs look really casual.

But now is not the time to admire it, Zhang Yangqing has to find a way to get the mermaid out.

The best way at this stage is to find the key to open the cage and let the mermaid out.

The man and the fish ran out quietly.

But the mermaid seems to be resting too. The key is how to make her understand that I am saving her.

Otherwise, if the mermaid struggles and alarms the sleeping two-legged mermaids around her, it would be a big joke.

Zhang Yangqing's method was more convenient. As time was running out, he chose to go back to the salvage ship first.

When he entered the water for the second time, he had already had the crane lower a metal rope.

Zhang Yangqing held the metal rope and came to the place where the mermaid was imprisoned with ease.

Without even asking the mermaid's permission, she tied the ropes and hooks to the cage.

Next, activate the signal device in your hand.

After receiving the information, the new crew member operating the crane on the salvage ship began to operate the machine to pull up, and the wheel on the crane began to spin frantically.

With a loud bang, the place where the iron cage was fixed collapsed.

When the iron cage was pulled out of the large coral area, the violent waves alarmed all the two-legged mermaids nearby.

The seaweed on both sides of the road could not stop the explosive power of the crane.

The thorny corals were all smashed to pieces by the iron cage, and even served as cushions for the cage. About four minutes later, Zhang Yangqing was lifted out of the sea along with the cage by a crane.

By the time those two-legged mermaids reacted, Zhang Yangqing had disappeared without a trace.

When the iron cage was placed on the deck by a crane, the audience outside the big screen were dumbfounded. Is this possible?
Isn’t Master Zhang afraid of being scratched by the coral thorns?
How did Zhang Tianshi determine that the crane could pull the iron cage?
What if I can’t pull it? Wouldn’t I die on the spot?

Countless questions filled their minds.

Zhang Yangqing was too lazy to explain. Wasn’t Rule 4 clearly written so that I could directly [salvage]? And that was what I was salvaging.

Those corals and seaweed may look dangerous, but sometimes they can also be helpful. It all depends on how you understand it.

On the deck, as the iron cage slowly descended, many people gathered around.

Zhang Yangqing discovered that there was greed in the eyes of these people, and their gazes were fixed on the mermaid in the cage.

This made the confused mermaid inside even more scared.

For her, while she was in a daze, she went from one dangerous place to another.

Zhang Yangqing coughed to express that he had no ill intentions, and then began to ask the mermaid what happened in this sea area.

Since the rules say that there are benefits to salvaging him, then I will definitely be able to obtain some information.

The mermaid spoke tremblingly, the sea creatures in this sea area are ruled by four dragon kings.

The four dragon kings are very powerful, and this sea area is peaceful.

But for some reason, the pollution has been very serious recently, and many sea creatures have become strange.

The four dragon kings disappeared, and the sea tribe broke out in chaos. She and several tribesmen ran out of the Dragon Palace to seek refuge.

She had been planning to hide in this place to recuperate, but who knew that another group of sea creatures came, killed her people, occupied her territory, and captured her.

She also knew the location of the golden statue mentioned by Zhang Yangqing, and expressed her willingness to take Zhang Yangqing to find it.

But she had one request, which was that Zhang Yangqing must let her go after the matter was accomplished.

While Zhang Yangqing was thinking, the bearded man whispered to him that this mermaid was the legendary colorful-scaled fish-man.

Many powerful people like it.

If we catch her, we can sell her for a sky-high price.

At least we can replace it with a larger salvage ship and equip it with many professional crew members.

This information was not only known by the bearded man, but also by the other crew members on the Chosen One's ship.

In their opinion, the mermaid was much more valuable than the golden statue, and they all urged the Chosen One to capture the mermaid as well.

As for credit and stuff, it's up to you when the time comes.

After all, the mermaid’s fighting ability is not strong, so what if you deceive her?

It can be said that this condition is very tempting to the chosen ones.

After all, I am a salvager, and my next job will definitely be salvage.

It would be a good choice to be equipped with a larger salvage ship.

When the chosen ones were still hesitating, Zhang Yangqing said to the bearded man: "The rule of this world is that greed will pay the price. Isn't her appearance a test for us?"

This sentence made the bearded man wake up instantly. Wasn’t it because of the greed of the district chief that his city was sunk?

He still remembered that when he met Zhang Yangqing, he was very angry at the greedy person like the regional director. How come he has become the person he hates now?

Taking a deep breath, the bearded man patted Zhang Yangqing on the shoulder and said, "Brother, to be honest, I am a little dissatisfied that you can solve the strangeness on the island. I think that you can salvage the golden statue, which is just your professional ability and there is nothing great about it.
But after what you said today, I feel that you are the one who can truly survive in this world. If you need any help in the future, just tell me."

Zhang Yangqing smiled inwardly, this is what you said!
Maybe you are being polite, but I really am not polite!
