691. Chapter 691 Strange fog on the sea


When you are immersed in something, time often passes very quickly.

When Chen Ziyan emerged from the water again, he realized this sentence deeply.

He felt like he hadn’t practiced for long, so why did it get dark before he knew it?

But since it was already evening, he could no longer continue practicing.

If you don't go back for a long time, others will worry about you.

When Chen Ziyan returned to the rental place, he saw that everyone else had come back and were chatting about today's experience.

When Shirley Yang saw Chen Ziyan entering the door, she immediately stopped talking and walked over to him and said: "I just received the news that the people you asked me to hire have arrived at the edge of the coral spiral. What's next? What to do?"

While speaking, the doubts in her eyes were not concealed at all.

Shirley Yang has always wondered why Chen Ziyan asked her to spend a lot of money to hire a professional salvage team to set off in advance since they were going to sail the boat themselves.

If you ask the other party to help, it is completely unnecessary.

Although there are no professional salvage people among them, they can do related things. In terms of professional ability, they are not much weaker than those people.

If you want to use this salvage team to divert attention, then you shouldn't let them enter the coral spiral in advance and meet them here. Wouldn't it be better for everyone to set off together then?

Hearing Shirley Yang's words, Chen Ziyan suddenly remembered that he had made this arrangement.

He had just been busy studying the special abilities brought by the Manifestation Spirit Fish, but he didn’t even think of this.

To be honest, he had never thought about how to arrange this salvage team, because it was purely a tool man he asked Shirley Yang to find.

The purpose is to obtain the reward of manifesting treasure spirit fish.

After thinking about it, Chen Ziyan said: "Let them wait in that sea area for a few days, and then go in with us."

But since the money has been spent, then We can't waste it, so we might as well let the salvage team go in with us.

Maybe we will need each other at some point.

After all, those who can join a professional salvage team must at least be familiar with water properties.

Moreover, the Trident's cargo capacity is limited, so the salvage team's ship can just be used as an external cargo warehouse.

"Okay, I will notify them later." Shirley Yang responded.

Although Chen Ziyan did not answer her doubts, she did not pursue the question.

She believed that Chen Ziyan had his reasons for doing this.

After everyone was ready, the rest was easy. Chen Ziyan and the others had everything ready within two days.

In a blink of an eye, it was the day to go to sea.

Perhaps because of the good date, there were many people going to sea on this day, and there were all kinds of ships docked at the pier, all making final preparations.

The temperament and behavior of some of them made it easy for Chen Ziyan to tell that these were his peers, presumably following in his footsteps.

He was happy to see this happen, otherwise there would be no need for him to prepare for so long, just to fish the Wang family out to sea.

Because the appearance of these people made Chen Ziyan completely relieved. Even unknown people came, so the Wang family would definitely not remain indifferent.

Before pulling up the anchor and setting sail, Ruan Hei specifically told everyone to remember that when they are at sea, they must remember that they cannot mention words like "turn", "buckle", and "fall", and they must not whistle, otherwise they will easily violate taboos.

Others were fine and said they would respect these customs.

After all, in the back-fighting industry, there are many such taboos, so they are all understandable.

Only Fatty Wang was a little impatient. He had always been a mother when he became a monk. Hearing this, he wanted to say something to refute, but fortunately Hu Bayi kept staring at him and did not Suppressed him as soon as he opened his mouth.

Because Ruan Hei was familiar with the nearby waters and had rich experience in steering, Chen Ziyan directly made him the captain.

The journey to the Coral Spiral was very peaceful. Ruan Hei was indeed an experienced sea wolf. He was able to determine the approximate route based solely on the direction of the ocean currents. With the help of charts and compasses, the ship was never allowed to deviate from the route.

But what no one knew was that on the night they went to sea, Chen Ziyan had secretly used the reward for himself, that is, the ghost on the Trident.

It can be said that as long as the current Trident has a precise route map, it can send them to their destination even if no one is at the helm.

And after turning the Trident into a ghost ship, Chen Ziyan also got an unexpected reward, which was the salvage team sealed in the mezzanine of the bottom tank.

He has always ignored this, just wanting to see if the ghosts blocked on the ship will bring additional benefits when the Trident becomes a ghost ship.

The result was not what he expected. When the Trident became a ghost ship, the ghosts trapped on the ship also became part of the ghost ship.

So there is actually a group of crew members on this ship that ordinary people cannot see.

But Chen Ziyan did not dispatch these ghosts, but let them continue to hide in the mezzanine, intending to keep them as backup.

If the ship was full of ordinary people, then it would be okay to use these ghosts, but the problem is that many of the people on this ship are not ordinary people.

Shirley Yang, Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan should all be able to detect the presence of ghosts, but Chen Ziyan was not sure whether the rest of them could do this.

For example, Guchai, a dragon household, who knows if he has other abilities besides being good at water.

Huo Ling and Chen Wenjin have also been cursed. If they received the curse because of it, they might be aware of it.

Everything was normal the first few days before going to sea, with clear skies and calm waves.

But this tranquility was soon broken. First, the waves became turbulent, and then the sky began to become cloudy, and it looked like a storm was about to come.

“Look at the day, is there going to be a storm?” Wang Kaixuan had nothing to do. After wandering around the deck, he returned to the cabin and asked.

Everyone is gathered here now. A few days ago, some people would go out to see the scenery, but no matter how good the scenery is, they will get tired of it after watching it for several days.

Not to mention that the vast sea is endless. Except for the occasional whales and dolphins emerging from the water, there is nothing the rest of the time.

Especially as we go deeper, even the flying birds are gradually lost, so everyone with nothing to do can only stay in the cabin and kill time by chatting and playing cards.

"No, there is enough water vapor on the sea, so it is not unusual for rain." Hu Bayi was studying the Book of Changes there and said after hearing the words.

Although there is no reference point at sea, his Feng Shui attainments have greatly improved recently by stargazing every night.

Afterwards, Hu Bayi looked at Chen Ziyan and said:

"Mr. Chen, there should be a trench below us. Do you know any information about this trench?" It was recorded in the ancient books passed down by his family that when approaching Under the coral spiral sea area, there is an unfathomable rift valley, which is the remaining vein of the "Southern Dragon" that enters the sea. The sea air breeds in it, and incomprehensible strange things often happen. There are also many sea monsters living there.

Hu Bayi was very curious about this, but it was impossible to go down to find out, so he had to ask Chen Ziyan, who lives in Xiling Heritage, to see if he knew The inside story here.

“I don’t know that.” Chen Ziyan could somewhat guess what Hu Bayi was thinking, but he really didn’t know.

Although the Xieling lineage has a long history, they have been hanging out in the mountains all year round and have never even explored the Mingchuan River a few times, let alone the deep sea far inland.

"Old Hu, are there any treasures in this trench?" Wang Kaixuan suddenly became interested and leaned over to ask.

"There must be treasures, and they are all rare treasures in the world, but no one can get them." Hu Ba said without thinking.

He had also thought about the problem of Wang Kaixuan, and then he was sure that there would be no shortage of treasures in such a strange place like the one below, and after countless years of accumulation, there might be treasures everywhere in the depths.

But as he said, no one can get it!

"Why?" Wang Kaixuan was puzzled.

Hu Bayi explained to him: "The first is the depth. The trench below is estimated to be no less than 10,000 meters, but the current deepest detection level is only about a few thousand meters. Even professionals with advanced equipment We can’t reach the bottom, how deep do you think we can go?”

“The second thing is that there must be some real sea monsters hidden in such a place, and those things are probably bigger than the whales we saw a while ago. "Big, if we meet in the sea, all of us together will probably be the same person."

"This is a bit of a pity." After hearing this, Wang Kaixuan understood that this was indeed the case. Places that are difficult to explore by humans.

He has not forgotten the whale he saw two days ago. That big guy will probably catch up with their ship.

If you were besieged by an aquatic creature of that size in the water, you would be dead.

“It’s better to touch the egg.” Immediately, Wang Kaixuan thought of touching the egg again.

Although the plot has changed, they have stayed on the island for so many days, and they will know a lot of information if they deliberately inquire about it.

What Wang Kaixuan cares about the most is the ‘egg’ inside the coral spiral.

I kept talking about it along the way, saying that after finally entering the sea, I had to take a few coins back with me.

Chen Ziyan didn't care about this. If they didn't go deeper by then, it wouldn't hurt to go into the water and catch some.

After listening to the fat man talking about it for a long time, the others also became interested in egg collecting, and immediately asked Guchai and Duoling about this matter.

At this moment, Ruan Hei's voice suddenly sounded from the microphone on the bulkhead: "Boss Chen, there is something going on ahead. Come and take a look."

Listen At this point, Chen Ziyan quickly went to the cab.

Others stopped chatting and followed suit.

When he entered the cab, he immediately understood what was going on.

On the sea surface in front, thick fog is rising. They only need to advance a few dozen meters more and they will enter the fog.

"This fog is weird. It wasn't there just now, but it suddenly appeared, and look at that." Speaking of this, Ruan Hei pointed to the top of the fog.

Chen Ziyan looked in the direction he pointed and found that the fog was indeed strange. It was only a dozen meters high and was gray and heavy on the sea.

From their perspective, the sky, sea and fog were clearly distinct, and the visibility of the fog was extremely low. They had only just approached and were already affected.

"This is indeed weird, can we go around it?" Hu Bayi thought for a while and said.

He felt that it was better not to get involved in something that looked evil at first sight.

"I'm afraid it won't work anymore. The fog is coming towards us on its own." Ruan Hei shook his head, and then explained: "I just noticed something was wrong and I already slowed down. Logically speaking, It’s not that close now.”

The others immediately understood what he meant. Their ship slowed down, but the fog actively surrounded it.

"Then just rush over, we can still be afraid of this bird mist." Wang Kaixuan said.

"You can't speed up at this time. This should be ordinary sea advection fog. As long as it doesn't hit other ships, there will be no danger." Shirley Yang quickly stopped her.

She has encountered this situation before and knows that this is a very common phenomenon at sea. She just needs to be careful not to hit other ships.

At this moment, it seemed like he was responding to Shirley Yang.

I saw five wisps of black smoke suddenly shooting out from under the sea in front, even the thick fog could not cover it.

The black smoke shot straight into the sky, looking like a huge black claw clawing at the sky.

As luck would have it, not long after the black smoke appeared, the already gloomy sky turned completely dark.

For a while, no one could tell whether it was just getting dark or because of the few streaks of black smoke.

Chen Ziyan looked around, first signaled Ruan Hei to reduce the speed of the boat to the minimum, and then said to the others: "Whether this is a normal phenomenon or there is something in the water causing trouble, everyone should be careful. If nothing happens, Don't stay on the deck."

After letting Shirley Yang take the ladies back to the cabin, Chen Ziyan looked at Hu Bayi: "Lao Hu, let's work harder tonight and take turns to accompany Ruan here. Master, you need to be careful when sailing at night, and it’s still in such a thick fog.”

“Okay.” Hu Bayi naturally had no objection.

Even if Chen Ziyan didn't mention it, he would take the initiative to say it.

If an accident occurs because of this, everyone on the boat will probably have to feed the fish.

"Fat man, take Guchai and turn on all the lights on the ship." Immediately afterwards, Chen Ziyan also arranged a task for Wang Kaixuan.

In this case, the light must be turned on.

Don’t be afraid of anything but ten thousand, what if you really encounter other ships in the fog.

Moreover, the lights on the ship are all customized strong searchlights. Even if the fog prevents them from reaching far distances, the surroundings of the ship can still be seen.

"Okay." Wang Kaixuan responded and took Guchai to work.

When there were only three of them left in the cab, Chen Ziyan looked at Ruan Hei again and asked in a low voice: "Master Ruan, you have been active in this sea area all year round. Do you have anything to say when we encounter this fog?"

He didn't think Ruan Hei knew anything about it. How could it be such a coincidence that when he first arrived here, he encountered a situation that had never happened before. (End of this chapter)
