Chapter 558 Coral Spiral, Sea Eye Pearl

Here's the thing.

That night.

The moon is as bright as a mirror, and the sea is endless as far as the eye can see, and the wind is calm and the tide is calm.

The ship was sailing smoothly. At this time, the sailors on the ship found a huge wave rolling up in the sea. The experienced sailors said it was a swell and not a wave. The wind must first arise in the sea and then the waves will arise. A swell will arise without wind.

, formed by the turbulence of the sea water itself.

As the waves increased, a mountain appeared in the sea, looming across the front. People on the boat thought that there was a sea wave or surge, and they all stood on the side of the boat to watch curiously.

The sailors who sailed through this sea area in the past have never seen any rocks standing in the sea. How could there be solitary rocks rising out of the sea in the deep ocean?

While everyone was muttering suspiciously, they suddenly discovered that the sea surface illuminated by the bright moon had changed again, and within a short time, several huge rocks emerged from the bottom of the sea.

Uncle Ming's uncle soon discovered that something bad was going on. It was not a surge, but a school of large fish appearing in the sea.

Tonight, the moon is bright and the wind is calm. There must be a group of fish swimming on the bottom of the sea, and what is exposed above the sea is not a rocky island.

It was the spine and fin of a big fish, and then he told everyone not to make any noise and to move the boat quietly away, otherwise the fish would be disturbed, and once the waves broke out, our boat would be sunk by the huge waves.

But before the captain's order could be passed on, the sea water began to churn, and schools of fish floating on the sea rushed toward the boat they were on.

In this situation, the only option was to quickly turn around and escape, but the speed of the ship was not fast enough. On several occasions, it was almost capsized by huge waves. In order to survive, the captain had to order that everything that could be thrown on the ship be thrown away so that the light ship could speed up.

Finally, all the cargo was thrown away, and a dozen or so people on the ship were thrown into the sea. Only then did the ship escape death and sail back to the Buddhist Hall Gate. All the goods on the ship were lost.

Uncle Ming and his uncle lost all their belongings, and they were almost forced to jump into the sea by their creditors. In order to recover their losses as soon as possible, they had to take the risk and go fishing for pearls in the eyes of the coral spiral sea.

The Coral Spiral is a huge coral forest on the seabed. It is said that there is a bottomless sea eye in it. The surrounding sea area is connected to the deep sea ocean. The wind is high and the waves are strong and dangerous. It is also known as the graveyard of sunken ships.

There are many giant clams in the coral forest, which are rich in pearls. Whenever the moon is full, hundreds of old clams in the sea will open their shells to absorb the essence of the bright moon.

Some pearls have grown for thousands of years and are favored by the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

At that time, thanks to the yin fire on the bottom of the sea, the entire sea surface will be illuminated by the bright pearls of the moon.

Because the coral spiral is close to the deep sea, many aquarium fish will be attracted to the pearl and linger there.

In order to protect themselves, giant clams in the sea will not completely open their shells easily.

Therefore, there are only a few moments in a year when the beautiful pearl on the seabed reflects the moon, and they are all on nights when the moon is full and about to eclipse.

Fishermen fishing for pearls in the coral spiral is a way to get rich, but the risk factor is too high.

No one would be willing to take that risk unless they were in a desperate situation. Moreover, even if they went to the Coral Spiral to catch clams and pearls, they would only be doing peripheral activities, and no one would dare to approach the eye of the sea.

First, it has been said that the place is haunted by ghosts since ancient times, with water ghosts dragging people into the sea and drowning them.

Second, there are dense reefs, and ships will hit the rocks if they enter. If they are not careful, they will become seabed exhibits in the Coral Spiral Shipwreck Cemetery. There are many other mysterious reasons, which are even more complicated and confusing. There are many and no clues.

, it is difficult to reach a conclusion after thousands of years.

Pearl divers and bucket hunters are actually similar in that they are also craftsmen in the seventy-two lines.

However, words such as "down" should never be mentioned at sea, and they would never directly call a pearl a "pearl".

Instead, they are called "eggs" because, passed down from generation to generation, they all talk about ghosts who died in the sea due to pearl fishing or shipwrecks.

They are also attracted by the essence of the moonlight pearl. Whenever a living person mentions the word "pearl", they will kill people on the bottom of the sea.

Since ancient times, people who fish for pearls in the coral spiral have called themselves eggmen, and the work they do is called egg hunting.

At that time, Danman's method of fishing for pearls was to tie a long rope around his waist, carry a bamboo basket filled with stones, and pig urine bubbles for ventilation and sink them into the sea, and then try to lure the old clams to open their shells.

Reach in or use your arms to pick up pearls.

If there are small clams, pick them up in the basket, shake the long rope, and the people on the boat will pull the rope and take the bamboo basket up.

Sometimes due to poor egg-picking skills or bad luck, countless people have been killed by giant clams, or unfortunately encountered vicious fish.

Once the rope is broken, most of them will be lost forever. Only a line of blood floats to the surface, and even the bones cannot be recovered.

Nine out of ten egg collectors will end up with the tragic fate of being buried at the bottom of the sea.

If you are lucky enough to survive and retrieve the pearl, you will become rich overnight. However, people in the world are greedy. After taking one, they want to take the second one. However, if they go to collect eggs again, they may not be able to come back alive.

It is said that this business is not easy. In addition to the danger, it also requires a lot of luck, because no one dares to go into the depths of the coral spiral, and they only fish for pearls on the outside.

Even so, the Dragon King must grant these poor people one or two hours of fine weather, otherwise the boat will capsize before they can go fishing for pearls.

Only those experienced sea wolves who are familiar with this sea area know this route.

Uncle Ming's uncle had been an egg collector in his early years. After losing his capital at the entrance of the Buddhist temple, he had no choice but to return to his old business.

Unexpectedly, the first time he went into the water, he was swallowed by a fish, and none of the four people who went down with him came out alive.

Now most of the sea mussels outside the coral spiral have been harvested, but no one is willing to risk going into the Sea Eye area to hunt for pearls.

Because they are all doing it to make a living and not to die, the clam beads deep in the coral spiral have never been touched, and they have accumulated for thousands of years.

It is definitely a treasure that cannot be unearthed. However, despite the advancement of science and technology, the equipment and equipment are not as simple as before, but it is still unrealistic to enter the coral spiral with complex terrain to retrieve the treasure.

"Could it be that the sea eye deep in the coral spiral could be the legendary Guixu of the South China Sea?" The fat man said doubtfully after telling the story.

Lao Hu pondered for a moment and said, "It's hard to say. Nanhai Guixu is a legendary place. It's hard to say whether this place is the place we are looking for."

Shirley Yang glanced at Ji Yi and said, "We must go there."

At this time, the system's voice sounded in Ji Yi's mind.

"Ding, congratulations to the host, the main mission: South China Sea Return to Ruins is triggered, reward:..."
