Chapter 1284 – Undersea Volcano

“What is the Devil’s Sea? Isn’t this sea normal? It’s not that far from Vigo Bay? How could such a thing happen?”

Zhuang Rui was a bit puzzled by what he heard, he had once used his aura to survey that piece of sea, the only thing that was strange was that there were a bit less swimming fish and sea creatures there, other than that there didn’t seem to be anything unusual, so why would Clyde call it the Devil’s Sea?

And according to Zhuang Rui’s observation, that piece of sea below the volcano, should be a dead volcano, there can be no eruption of the situation, it is even more unlikely to cause a tsunami.

After hearing Zhuang Rui’s words, Clyde shook his head and said, “Boss, this …… sea is a little weird, when it’s fine, ships come and go, but it’s not possible to say what time, it will suddenly set off a gale and huge waves, will come and go to the ship toppled into the sea, for a long time, there is no ship dares to pass through here. No ship dares to pass through here anymore.”

As a seaman, the most afraid of nothing more than the sea of wind and waves, in the ocean, some big waves even up to dozens of meters, do not look at the “Xuan Rui” up to hundreds of meters long, but in the sea in front of the huge waves, and a leaf compared to a lonely boat is not much worse.

Ancient sea voyage, will often be attacked by the wind and waves and shipwrecked, the safety of the crew into the main problem of the mariner, they put their hopes on the blessing of the gods.

Poseidon, the god of the sea in foreign myths and legends, is the king of the sea in charge of all the waters surrounding the continent, has the ability to call the wind, and can raise or calm the violent sea, by all believers in fear.

The people along the coast of China, on the other hand, believed in Mazu, and the Mazu temples that could be seen everywhere in Fujian and other areas were actually a spiritual support sought by those shipwrights, seafarers, travelers, merchants and fishermen who were in awe of the winds and waves at sea.

“Mr. Zhuang, Clyde is right, if one just passes through that sea, perhaps nothing will happen, but if one stays for a long period of time, it seems as if it will arouse the wrath of the sea god and set off shocking waves.”

Rasco wasn’t a materialist, but he was a free believer abroad, and his words weren’t without reason.

Because there were quite a few adventurers who had previously hit that sea, and there were a few ships that weren’t even that much smaller than Zhuang Rui’s Xuan Rui ship, but in the end, they ended up disappearing, and so far there was no news of them.

“How could there be such a thing?”

Zhuang Rui sniffed his face became serious, originally he is also an atheist, but the mutation of his own eyes, so that Zhuang Rui produced all kinds of reverence for this world, perhaps there really is a god in the underworld is not allowed to say it!

“Boss, I think …… it is better to forget about it! Let’s change the land.”

Clyde beat a retreat, not that he is timid, but people who live on the sea, for these special taboos, no one is willing to take their lives to joke.

“This ……”

After hearing Clyde’s words, Zhuang Rui was a little hesitant, from the domestic departure to now, has passed more than a week’s work, according to Zhuang Rui’s previous plan, he was ready to end the salvage work in half a month, and will be those seabed gold to sell out of.

And in order to this salvage, he also made a lot of “preparatory work”, just based on the words of the two people in front of him to let him return home, Zhuang Rui more or less a little reluctant.

“Let’s do it this way! Captain Clyde, let’s go to the edge of the sea again to observe, if there is really any problem, timely exit is.”

After thinking about it again and again, Zhuang Rui still decided to go to survey some more, otherwise, if he left so unexplained, Zhuang Rui couldn’t get over the hurdle in his heart.

After hearing Zhuang Rui’s words, Clyde nodded hopelessly and said, “Alright! Boss, you have the final say ……”

The “Xuan Rui” set sail again, while General Rasco returned to his warship, but always followed the “Xuan Rui” until it approached the devilish sea area of 300 nautical miles before stopping.

“Mr. Zhuang, please don’t go deeper into the sea, if you feel that something is wrong, please exit immediately, we will meet you in the vicinity.”

Before the Xuan Rui was ready to enter, General Lascaux spoke to Zhuang Rui once more on the phone, warning him.

“Thank you General Rasco for your concern, we will be careful.”

Standing in the captain’s room, looking at the calm sea in the distance, Zhuang Rui’s mood at this moment, however, was very different from the last time, Clyde’s incessant chatter over the past few hours had created a shadow in his heart as well.

After closing the call with General Rasco, Zhuang Rui looked at Clyde and said: ”Captain Clyde, give the order to continue forward! Slow down the speed a bit, and at the same time turn on the deep sea radar scanning, and immediately turn around and retreat if there is any situation.”

“Aye.”

Clyde agreed, picked up the microphone on the command console, and said, “Direction, straight ahead, speed adjusted to ten knots per hour, turn on the deep-sea detection motors, and put the entire ship on level one alert.”

An alarm sounded on the “Xuan Rui”, the well-trained crew went into work, although they didn’t know what was going on, the captain’s serious speech made everyone’s nerves tense up.

“Captain Clyde, I’m going to Peng Fei’s side, keep me informed if anything happens.” Seeing that everything was running normally, Zhuang Rui left the captain’s room.

In the monitoring room on the top floor of the Xuan Rui ship, installed was the top of the line undersea military scanning radar system that Li Zhen had bought from the decommissioned Russian nuclear submarine, and its function was far from the ordinary civil radar in the captain’s room.

Seeing Zhuang Rui enter the monitoring room, Peng Fei said with dissatisfaction, “Brother Zhuang, it’s just salvaging the wreck, it’s not a war, as to turn on the radar scanning over here?”

In Peng Fei’s opinion, that General Rasco is an alarmist, he thinks that the sea is the face of a child? Does he think the sea is a child’s face? Unless it touches the reef, otherwise I really haven’t heard of the news that a cruise ship of Xuan Rui’s class has been sunk by the waves!

“Cut the crap, focus your attention, scan the bottom of the sea first.”

Zhuang Rui glared at Peng Fei in a bad mood, after learning that this sea is called “devil sea”, Zhuang Rui’s heart is also in a state of shock, after all, he once suffered a shipwreck.

“Hey, I say Zhuang brother, let me work, you are resting on the side to go?”

After seeing Zhuang Rui’s order, he directly sat on one of the most comfortable chairs in the monitoring room and rested his eyes, Peng Fei muttered a few words of dissatisfaction.

Only Peng Fei did not know that while Zhuang Rui closed his eyes, the aura in his eyes poured out, penetrating several layers of the cabin and directly entering the sea.

Deep blue seawater, mixed with strands of spiritual qi, moisturizing Zhuang Rui’s eyes very comfortable, in the depth of more than a hundred meters, the sun disappeared, the sea water became pitch black.

This sea water below Xuan Rui’s ship, the depth reached more than 1200 meters, the seabed was very flat, covered with fine sand grains, like it was often combed.

As in the previous survey, there were very few underwater creatures in this sea area, just like a desert under the sea, compared with the sea area at the back of more than ten nautical miles, it was as if it had entered into two completely different areas.

Along with the cruise ship does not move forward slowly, the back of General Rasco took the patrol ship, also gradually disappeared in Xuan Rui ship in the line of sight, five hours later, Xuan Rui ship came to this sea area of fifty nautical miles.

This sea area is also the deepest place in the vicinity of more than a thousand nautical miles, the seabed reaches a depth of nearly three thousand meters from the sea level, and the shipwreck treasure and undersea volcano that Zhuang Rui had previously surveyed are all located in this position.

“This undersea volcano is a bit strange, how come there are no creatures living here?” Zhuang Rui’s aura once again felt the presence of the undersea volcano, and an odd feeling involuntarily flooded his heart.

Due to the many minerals contained in volcanic eruptions, there were all sorts of undersea creatures living around those undersea volcanoes Zhuang Rui had seen before that had cooled down due to magma eruptions, and the cold silence of this undersea was a bit chilling in the bottom of one’s heart.

After paying a little attention to the volcano that rose abruptly from the bottom of the sea and was about a thousand meters high, Zhuang Rui put his attention on the shipwrecks around the volcano.

“Hehe, there are really quite a few other shipwrecks.”

During the last survey, Zhuang Rui’s attention was focused on those shipwrecks with gold hidden in them, this time the search was expanded a bit, and many differences were instantly discovered.

In addition to the dozen or so European seventeenth-century galleons filled with gold, there were quite a few shipwrecks in the seabed mud and sand around the volcano, ranging from medieval sailing ships to modernized vessels, and surprisingly, there were dozens of them, both large and small.

The hulls of these ships, are obviously broken, some ships are even broken into two from the center, see Zhuang Rui is staggered, this is how big the wind and waves, to break the ship from the middle to ah?

“What the hell? It’s better to get to work! If we’re fast enough, we’ll be able to salvage the gold in these holds in three to five days’ time.”

After observing around the shipwreck for a while, Zhuang Rui didn’t find anything dangerous, after thinking for a while, he finally decided to salvage here, after all, the gold in those more than a dozen shipwrecks had been shining with a strange light in Zhuang Rui’s eyes.

“Brother Zhuang, you come to see, underneath this sea, it seems like there are two volcanoes ah? A big one and a small one, it’s really a bit strange.”

When Zhuang Rui had just opened his eyes and was about to notify the salvage team to start the drilling platform, Peng Fei’s voice suddenly came to his ears.

“Two volcanoes?”

Zhuang Rui froze for a moment upon hearing this, and then collected the aura scattered in the distance, and focused on the lower part of Xuan Rui’s ship, and upon a closer look, as expected, there were indeed two volcanoes existing under the calm sea surface.
