Chapter 22 Nothing Could Be Found At A Moment!

Bawang broadened the search area and, after a considerable amount of time, decided to take the initiative and contact Liu Yong asking,

"Master, since no ancient shipwreck has been discovered would you like to consider expanding the search area?"

"Actually, no," Liu Yong thought to himself.

He began to wonder if there might be errors in the records since all the information he had gathered was from the Internet rather than official sources, which could compromise their reliability and accuracy.

Finding an ancient shipwreck on the ocean floor is a challenging task.

"What should I do then?"

"Should I continue or give up?"

After pondering for some time, Liu Yong decided:

"Given that we haven't found anything here, let's return and try our luck at another location tomorrow."

Liu Yong's online research revealed the locations of these ancient shipwrecks, to be extremely specific, all situated in the waters surrounding Huahai City.

Moreover, the nearest location is at most 100 nautical miles away. In other words, the potential search area for these shipwrecks could be more extensive and concentrated.

Safety concerns could be one possible reason for not searching farther locations. The waters closer to the shore are likely to be safer, with a higher level of security.

However, this might differ in far-off or deep-sea regions with a greater risk of encountering potential hazards or dangers. As a result, Liu Yong may have decided to limit the search area to the waters closer to Huahai City to minimize any possible risks to the crew and the expedition.

Even in the coastal waters within 100 nautical miles, Liu Yong repeatedly told him to put safety first.

Returning without success would have disheartened the Overlord and visibly damped his mood.

The beautiful underwater scenery along the way is not in the mood to appreciate it, and the shoals of fish and shrimps can't arouse its interest, so it swims unhurriedly.

As the location is over a hundred kilometers away from the mainland, there are still potential dangers to be aware of, and there is a possibility of encountering some formidable creatures in the area.

Some potential dangers that one might encounter in this location could include enormous sunfish weighing several hundred catties, two or three-meter-long swordfish, and gigantic jellyfish with a diameter exceeding one meter.

A big guy is swimming toward Bawang; it is a vast sea snake six or seven meters long.

"We are encountering each other unexpectedly!"

Bawang thought.

When the Overlord finally discovered the object, they were only 20 to 30 meters away from each other. They might have noticed it much earlier if they had been more attentive.

The sea snake might have considered itself the dominant species in the area and perceived the unusual giant turtle as a threat. Upon encountering the turtle blocking its path, the snake likely issued a warning to signal its presence and establish dominance.

The sea snake's warning conveyed a message to the turtle to get out of its way and not obstruct its path. Bawang was already in a foul mood, and this creature's sudden appearance only worsened his temper.

"Tit for tat, get the **** out of me, don't mess with me."

Bawang said furiously.

The sea snake was also angry.

It became irritable, rushed over quickly, exposed its fangs, and opened its mouth to bite.

Despite his bulky appearance, Bawang was surprisingly agile and quick to react. He easily dodged the sea snake's bite and retaliated by biting the snake's vulnerable seven-inch area.

Bawang's movements were lightning-fast, and his powerful bite force was enough to directly contact the sea snake, precisely hitting its intended target.

Soon, the sea snake turned white and burped.

Overlord said in his heart, I am not a sea turtle, but a powerful mutant snapping turtle.

On the other hand, the turtle had only been motivated by hunger, prompting it to swim a long distance from its hiding place in the cave.

The earlier search it had conducted in the area had taken its toll on the creature, leaving it exhausted.

So, the snapping turtle took this sea snake as food and ate it with big mouthfuls.

"Hey, the taste is not bad, it is a taste I have never tasted."

Bawang said.

Even though the sea snake's head was unnecessary, the Overlord treated the entire six- to seven-meter-long creature as a savory deep-fried dough stick, relishing every bite of its meal with great enjoyment.

After eating a sea snake, it was packed and felt a sense of satisfaction, and its originally depressed mood improved a lot.

After devouring the sea snake, Bawang swam toward the small island, his pace much quicker than before. He continued swimming for around 20 to 30 minutes before stopping.

The water depth here is about 300 meters. The seabed is slightly different from other places. There are no reefs, dense seaweed, and relatively flat terrain everywhere.

On this flat seabed, a dilapidated shipwreck attracts the Overlord's attention.

As Bawang approached, he began reflecting on his reason for venturing into the sea that day. Wasn't it all to find the sunken ship? The closer he got to the island, the clearer the situation became.

The sunken ship is covered with algae and some shellfish attachments, and about one-third of the hull is sunk in the mud on the seabed.

After walking around the shipwreck, Overlord couldn't contain his excitement and said;

"Master, I found a sunken ship."

Currently, Liu Yong is surfing the Internet and registering an account on a forum, discussing the ancient shipwreck with some fans.

Bawang took the initiative to contact him and said it had found a sunken ship. Liu Yong was overjoyed and asked immediately.

"What kind of shipwreck is it, hurry up and tell me what's going on."

Bawang immediately told the situation of the sunken ship it saw.

Through Bawang's description, Liu Yong knew this was a modern shipwreck.

Upon closer inspection, Bawang realized that the shipwreck he had stumbled upon was modern. The ship's rusty exterior was adorned with a prominent chimney, and the hull was turned upside down, with the bottom of the boat facing upwards.

The displacement is a little small, about 1,000 tons.

"Master, do you want me to go in and search?"

Bawang asked.

"Yeah, absolutely"

Liu replied.

Liu Yong's hope is low. A dilapidated modern shipwreck should not have anything of value.

"Overlord, do a good search for me. Once you find something valuable, let me know immediately."

"Ok, no problem!"

Overlord agreed and then swam in from a big gap.

This ship has been sunk here for unknown years, and some marine creatures have long regarded this place as their home.

As Bawang entered the sunken ship, he inadvertently disturbed the surrounding marine life. Several big fish sensed his presence and quickly swam out of the boat to escape what they perceived as a potential threat.

In addition to the big fish, several giant octopuses swim out very fast. The speed is so short, which is very rare.

With the big fish gone, the sunken ship quickly returned to tranquility, allowing Bawang to search the area at his leisure. With no distractions, the Overlord could explore the ship in detail, scouring its every nook and cranny in search of potential treasures.

Liu Yong was sitting in the rental room, pondering over Bawang's description of the sunken ship. From what Bawang had narrated, it seemed to be a modern shipwreck with more than 1,000 tons of displacement.

Liu Yong knew that searching for a modern shipwreck with a displacement of over 1,000 tons would be time-consuming. Even with Overlord's help, it would take several hours or even a day or two to complete the search.

The process might need to be smoother, and unexpected challenges could arise. Nonetheless, Liu Yong remained hopeful that they would find something of value.

Besides, Overlord is now an excellent treasure hunter, searching inside the ship.

The turtle Discovered several skeletons. If someone else were here, they would probably feel eerie, but Overlord doesn't have this feeling.

Judging from the remaining clothes, this should be the military uniform of the Sakura Kingdom during World War II. There are also guns, rifles, and pistols on the ship, which are very rusted.

Overlord searches seriously. It is different from keen perception, and the search speed is faster.

"There is something valuable in it."

Bawang assumed.

Bawang pushed the door of this cabin but found that it was still motionless.
