Capítulo 1996: Chapter 1880: Why Hire You Japanese People_3

The dark clouds rapidly spread over Song Xiaodong’s head, the sky above the three reef rocks submerged in seawater seemed like a cola with a straw inserted, leaving a void in the middle, preventing the clouds from entering the sky within several hundred meters, creating a perfectly round hole.

Initially, Song Xiaodong was somewhat nervous; who could guarantee that this place would always be calm and peaceful? But now, looking at the situation here, Song Xiaodong felt reassured.

The clouds continued to spread eastward, quickly obscuring the sun’s rays, leaving only the sky within several hundred meters above Song Xiaodong still casting light downward, while other places remained completely dark.

The surrounding seawater and wind also changed, with circular winds beginning to blow around the three reef rocks. Indeed, this place was a typhoon eye, but a fixed one—why it could remain fixed was something Song Xiaodong couldn’t comprehend.

There was no record in the Dragon Gate Secret Vault.

The surrounding water began to rotate around this calm and peaceful area, with the central region’s water level beginning to decrease, revealing the three reefs. In Song Xiaodong and his companions’ eyes, their ship was within a pit surrounded by whirlpool walls several tens of meters deep.

The sight of these transparent, towering walls of water seemingly ready to crush down was truly chilling, leading the group to leave the deck and retreat into the cabin.

After waiting a while, the windless and calm water level stopped descending. The height of the three reefs returned to what it was during their last visit, and as the water level seemed to stabilize, Song Xiaodong didn’t hesitate and quickly began preparing to dive.

Lin Feng was too old to dive and hadn’t learned how, while Dragon Three was injured; Song Xiaodong couldn’t bear to let his two wives go. Now, only Dragon Six and Xu Duoduo were able to dive.

“I’ll go with you,” Xu Duoduo volunteered.

“Coach Xu, it’s really too dangerous. Let Dragon Six and me go instead.” Song Xiaodong did not want Xu Duoduo to become attached.

“Do you know what’s down there?” Xu Duoduo asked.

Song Xiaodong was momentarily speechless.

“Alright, you don’t have competitors there now. I’ll protect you underwater,” Xu Duoduo said.

Standing on the deck, Song Xiaodong and Xu Duoduo checked their equipment, each inspecting their own gear before checking each other’s.

“Xiaodong!” Sun Yiyi stood pale-faced on the deck, unable to refrain from calling out to Xiaodong, her eyes nearly brimming with tears.

Chu Xianling also stepped forward, followed by Lin Feng.

“What are you doing, making it seem like a farewell to the deceased?” Song Xiaodong glared.

“Be good, wait here for us. When we come back, I’ll catch some fish for you to eat.” Song Xiaodong smiled and said to Chu Xianling and Sun Yiyi.

Chu Xianling and Sun Yiyi clung to each other, glancing at Song Xiaodong, then at Xu Duoduo.

“Come on, don’t worry, I’m familiar with this place. I’ll definitely bring him back safely.” Xu Duoduo said, a bit impatient with everyone’s concern.

“Let’s go, we have radio contact.”

“One, two, three, go!”

Song Xiaodong and Xu Duoduo dived into the water.

Underwater was still calm and peaceful, while several hundred meters away was blurry; beyond several hundred meters and tens of meters deep, the water currents rapidly rotated.

Anyone caught in such a water current would surely not survive.

The two quickly dived down and reached the bottom at eighty meters.

Thanks to the retrieval ship brought by Dark Night Sect’s allies, Song Xiaodong knew the precise location of the sect’s salvage operation. The seabed was littered with ships, but in the vertical submersion zone of the retrieval ship, there was only one Han Dynasty Tower Ship.

After confirming the target, Song Xiaodong immediately notified the ship: “Target found.”

Song Xiaodong and Xu Duoduo approached the sunken ship, half of which was buried in sand due to years of erosion, but the hull remained intact. Only the bottom of the ship had a large hole, with the interior structure completely corroded and covered in marine plants.

Song Xiaodong entered the cabin through the large hole at the bottom of the ship, finding marine plants and creatures everywhere, with starfish, seaweed, coral, fish, turtles, shrimp, and crabs all over.

Xu Duoduo swam to the front of the ship to survey it.

Just as Song Xiaodong started his search from the stern, he suddenly noticed some lights swiftly moving in the water several hundred meters away.

“Coach Xu, there’s something outside,” Song Xiaodong cautioned Coach Xu.

Xu Duoduo did not respond, so Song Xiaodong swam out of the ship, finding Xu Duoduo standing at the bow in a daze. Song Xiaodong checked the surroundings and was also rendered speechless for a while.

Outside the calm waters between the three reefs, water currents rapidly rotated, filled with various gigantic sea creatures—Great King Squid, Sperm Whale, giant turtle, sunfish, sharks—all spinning swiftly in the currents.

Song Xiaodong felt alarmed, knowing that these underwater monsters also sensed the safety of this water region.

Song Xiaodong and Xu Duoduo appeared as ants next to these colossal beings.

Without saying anything else, Song Xiaodong spotted a giant turtle continuously spinning with the current, its shell alone measuring an estimated four meters long and three meters wide, weighing at least one and a half tons, leaving Song Xiaodong stunned.

The light points Song Xiaodong saw earlier inside the cabin originated from a massive Great King Squid, trapped and rapidly spinning in the water flow outside the calm water region, its tentacles already extending inward.

“Quick, you leave first, I’ll check it out.” Song Xiaodong told Xu Duoduo, then re-entered the cabin.
