Zhu Yu carried an oxygen bottle on his back and a spear gun in his hand, and slowly dived into the big hole.
Suddenly, six long tentacles stretched out from the big hole and fiercely wrapped around Zhu Yu!
"laugh!"
Zhu Yu was well prepared, raised his speargun and shot at the center of the tentacle!
The octopus had no time to hide and was shot right in the face!
Zhu Yu pulled up the rope and pulled out the huge octopus with tentacles up to two meters long!
The Octopus Tentacle originally thought that it would catch Zhu Yu in the hole and eat it with the handle, but he didn't expect that the opponent was stronger than it!
Only two tentacles that served as legs were left inside, and they had no choice but to suck on the boat planks on both sides, and played tug of war with Zhu Yu.
After Zhu Yu's body was transformed by energy, he became extremely powerful and pulled out the two tentacles of the octopus. At the same time, he also brought out two ship planks.
The originally half-meter-square hole suddenly doubled in size, and dust swirled in the seawater. Zhu Yu knew that now was not a good time to fish for anything, so he swam upstream while fighting the octopus's tentacles.
The Octopus was shot in the vital part by the spear gun, and its combat effectiveness was greatly reduced. But even so, it still wrapped Zhu Yu's upper body tightly, giving him a certain feeling of defeating the boss.
Emerging from the water, Zhu Yu ignored the suction cups on the octopus tentacles that were sucking hard on his muscles and swam in the direction of the yacht.
On the deck, Chen Yonghao was shocked when he saw Zhu Yu swimming around with tentacles popping up from time to time!
He was relieved when he saw a giant octopus approaching.
Chen Yonghao has lived by the sea all year round, so he naturally knows how powerful this thing is and hurriedly pulled Zhu Yu up.
Cao Dalong, who had already come up before, also hurriedly came over to help. The three of them worked together to pull the octopus down.
Zhu Yu looked at his body again, and saw that his body was already covered in blue and purple, with round marks, as if he had been cupped.
"This is a serious injury!" Chen Yonghao said worriedly.
"It's okay, it will be fine soon." Zhu Yu could already feel the itching in the area where he was sucked, the kind of itching that makes a scar grow into flesh. He said with a smile:
"You can have grilled octopus tonight!"
"No problem!" Cao Dalong said excitedly, "This is the first time I've seen such a big octopus! Is it almost a sperm?"
Zhu Yu said to Chen Yonghao:
"I found a sunken ship underwater..."
"Really?" After hearing this, Chen Yonghao grabbed Zhu Yu's arm in excitement, "Is it my ancestor's ship? What's in it? What did you see?"
Zhu Yu didn't expect him to be so excited, so he patted him gently to signal him not to be so excited, and then said:
"I don't know if the ship was sunk or had an accident. There was a big hole on the side, and this guy was inside."
He pointed at the octopus.
"But I guess it may not be your ancestor's ship, so don't have too much hope..."
Chen Yonghao looked a little ugly when Zhu Yu said this.
Zhu Yu smiled and said:
"I am not telling you this to discourage you, but I want to tell you that this water area should be the ancient waterway, so there are shipwrecks.
Since it is a waterway, if your ancestor's ship sank, it must have been on this road, which means that we are looking for the right path. "
Chen Yonghao's face looked better after hearing Zhu Yu's words.
"Okay, I'll go down and take a look. Maybe I can find something good in the boat. In that case, at least you won't have to live in such a poor life now!"
Chen Yonghao forced a smile and said:
"I can't tell the difference. This is your credit. I just hope that I can find my ancestor's sunken ship as soon as possible..."
Zhu Yu interrupted him and said:
"Willingness requires hard work to achieve, but life must go on. Since you have this condition, why do you have to be so stubborn? Without you, I wouldn't be able to find the sunken ship down here."
Chen Yonghao wanted to say something else, but Zhu Yu interrupted him again:
"Don't worry, I'm a treasure hunter and I'm very selfish. I won't give you a lot."
When he said this, Chen Yonghao felt embarrassed:
"I did not mean that……"
"That's what I meant."
After Zhu Yu finished speaking, he laughed.
He felt that his energy had been restored, so he dived again and reached the location of the sunken ship.
The sea water that was churning before is now calm again, and there are more fish nearby. I don’t know if it’s because these fish already knew that their natural enemy, the octopus, had been caught, so they became bolder.
Now it was easy for people to enter the big hole. Zhu Yutian glanced at it and then slowly swam in.
What came in was the cabin. This boat was not big, at least not as big as the Starfish yacht Zhu Yu and the others rented.
The cargo originally placed in the cabin became a mess due to the sinking of the ship.
The goods are ten wooden boxes wrapped with iron.
Zhu Yu stepped forward and gently moved one of the boxes, and found that it was quite strong and not decayed.
The cabin was divided into several compartments. It should have been known to separate watertight compartments in that era.
He forced open the existing hatch and entered another, smaller cabin.
Inside, there are two boxes, one large and one small. These two boxes were both iron boxes with complicated patterns. What surprised Zhu Yu was that there were Chinese characters on them!
Obviously, this is another Chinese ship hundreds of years ago.
In other words, robbed or bought Chinese things?
Of these two boxes, one contained gold cakes and the other contained silver cakes, both of which were irregular in shape.
Zhu Yu guessed that this was gold and silver found in the local gold and silver mines and eventually cast privately.
So irregular.
After putting the two boxes into the space, Zhu Yu scanned the ship again with his Tianyan, and found that there was basically nothing else of value.
Then it returned to the original cargo hold.
The goods in these ten boxes were their apparent harvest.
At least these things should be worth a lot of money.
Drag one up first.
After looking at the boxes, he felt a little regretful. He should have called Cao Dalong and others up together.
Forget it, let’s take a bite first.
Zhu Yu put away the spear gun, picked up the box, which was 1.8 meters long and 80 meters wide and high, walked out of the hole and slowly floated upwards.
Carrying this box weighing dozens of kilograms, Zhu Yu's speed did not slow down much.
His main fear was that the box would fall apart. But it was obvious that the box was made of very good wood, and the corners were covered with iron. There was no sign of breakage until he swam to the yacht.
Chen Yonghao helped Zhu Yu pull the box up. Zhu Yu got on the deck and said:
"Open it and see what treasures are inside."
Chen Yonghao looked at it excitedly. He originally had some hope, but it was shattered at this time.
This is obviously not from the Ming Dynasty.
He pointed to the pattern on the box and said:
"This kind of box should be a weapon box from the colonial period of Southeast Asia. It appeared about two to three hundred years ago... Indeed, as you said, it is not my ancestor's ship."
"There weren't even a single person's bones on that ship." Zhu Yu said, "But there were quite a few such goods."
At this time, Ran Jie and the other two people also gathered over and looked at the box curiously.
"Stop looking and open it." Zhu Yu said, "It's locked. Let's pry it open."
"Be careful!" Chen Yonghao said hurriedly, "This lock is also an antique and is worth a lot of money!"
Only then did Zhu Yu remember Chen Yonghao's previous dilemma, and nodded and said:
"Then be careful..."
"And this box. I once saw a box like this in a Chinese market. One piece costs thousands of dollars!"
Zhu Yu nodded and said no more.
Ran Jie and Qin Fei carefully pried off the lock of the box, opened the box, and then saw long items tightly wrapped in oil paper inside.
"This is……"
Zhu Yu bent down and picked up one piece, and opened the oil paper bag layer by layer. Several people watching were very surprised. The outside of the oil paper bag was soaked, but it didn't look very wet on the inside?
Could it be...
When Zhu Yu took apart the last layer of oil paper, a long object was revealed——
An antique flintlock gun!
"Wow! It's quite new!" Cao Dalong exclaimed in amazement, "It seems that it hasn't been corroded by the sea water."

There is indeed a layer of water film on it, but there is a layer of oil on the gun. Seeing that the gun is wrapped in a box and oil paper, the sea water does not have much effect.
"This is a breech-loaded flintlock gun!" Chen Yonghao took the gun from Zhu Yu, looked at it carefully and said, "In the antique market here, such a gun will cost at least three to five thousand US dollars!"
This box contains ten guns.
There are still nine boxes in the sunken ship below, which is hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Not only did you get back the money you paid for renting the boat, but you also made a small profit.
"Then who's coming down with me? There are nine boxes down there, let's fish them all out, and then go out and sell these things!"
"I go!"
"I go!"
"I am coming too!"
Ran Jie and three others spoke.
Zhu Yu nodded:
"I'll tell you the location. Just wait a moment and replace me."
Chen Yonghao didn't expect them to be so active. Now it's too late for him to say anything, but Zhu Yu didn't let him go:
"Brother Chen, you should have the channels to release these guns, right? The kind that are kept secret."
"Yes, yes." Although Chen Yonghao is down and out, he still has some connections. The main reason for his downfall is that he is too persistent. Otherwise, it would definitely be okay to live a little more nourishingly.
"Okay, you check the gun on the boat, and we'll go down and retrieve the box. We'll get back the money for renting the boat first."
Chen Yonghao nodded and said nothing more.
It took an hour to fish out all ten boxes, and then there was a feast of octopus.
The next day, the yacht returned.
Return to Jakarta port.
As soon as the boat was tied up, someone came over from a distance and said loudly to Chen Yonghao who was about to get off the boat:
"Boss Chen, I have been waiting for you for a long time! I have finally arrived... Is this Mr. Zhu? Nice to meet you!"
The person who came was a middle-aged man who was almost fifty years old, with a dark complexion and not much hair left. He looked like a Mediterranean man and spoke with a smile.
He is almost 1.7 meters tall, wearing short-sleeved pants and jade bracelets on his hands. This kind of person is often called a greasy uncle.
Chen Yonghao glanced at him and turned to introduce Zhu Yu:
"This is Boss Tie, a second-generation Chinese. He used to live in Singapore, but he came to Indonesia in the past few years. Business is very complex, and the price he charged for the goods we got this time was relatively fair."
Zhu Yu nodded.
"Boss Iron, this is Mr. Zhu, my partner."
"Okay." Boss Tie said with a smile, "Mr. Zhu is young and promising! Let's communicate more... goods..."
"Let's get on the boat and have a look." Zhu Yu said.
Zhu Yu has been hunting for treasures all year round. He knows that many countries have laws that prohibit private salvage.
So be careful.
Boss Tie got on the ship and entered the cabin, where Ran Jie and others had already opened a box.
Boss Tie stepped forward, picked up a greased paper bag and opened it layer by layer. When he saw the gun, his eyes lit up!
"nice one!"
He carefully stroked the gun body up and down, like stroking a woman's body, and then said again:
"A breech-loaded flintlock gun, this style should be the standard weapon of the colonial army in the 19th century. It is almost impossible to find a brand new gun like this - I didn't expect it to be so well preserved in the sea !”
He raised his head and looked at Zhu Yu:
"Mr. Zhu, how much is this? Make a price, I want them all!"
He could see that although Chen Yonghao was talking about collaborators, in fact, Zhu Yu was definitely the dominant one among the two.
"Five thousand dollars each." Zhu Yu said, "I'll give you the box and stuff."
"The price is too high!" Boss Tie shook his head, "If the quantity is large, it will take me a long time to withdraw the funds, and it will not be worthwhile to buy goods."
"The going price for a gun that is 70% new is already US$4,800." Zhu Yu was not idle during this time on the ship, "Although I am not talking about 100% new guns, they are all unused!
As soon as this gun appeared on the market, which collector wouldn't want one? Five thousand dollars is low. If Mr. Tie thinks it's not worthwhile, then think about it first and let's find someone else. "
Boss Tie didn’t expect that Zhu Yu didn’t even let him pay back the price!
He certainly made a profit from the five thousand dollars, and he made a lot of money.
But as a businessman's nature dictates, he naturally wants to lower the price.
After thinking about it, he rolled his eyes and said with some embarrassment:
"Mr. Zhu, Boss Chen, to be honest, this thing is really good. But after all, his origin is unknown, so I'm taking the risk. Do you think this is good? I'll take all the 4,500, and the 500 less will be treated as mine." How about the hush money?"
Chen Yonghao suddenly became angry:
"Tie, how could you do this? The rule of the business is not to ask where it comes from. Do you know this bad rule of yours?"
"I'm telling the truth!" Boss Tie said with a playful look, "I'm taking risks! Even if I don't spread the word, there's no guarantee that this news won't be known to others..."
"You..." Chen Yonghao was ashamed and angry, "I didn't expect you to be so mean..."
He found the person, but he didn't expect that something like this would go wrong. He didn't have the shame to face Zhu Yu.
The faces of Ran Jie and the other three were gloomy. As soon as Zhu Yu spoke, they would definitely take down this iron man as soon as possible!
Zhu Yu sneered:
"Boss Iron, you think you have us under control, right?"
"Where, where..." Boss Tie really had this in mind.
"Then you can try." Zhu Yu pointed outside, "Go and call the people from the relevant departments now. I can also let you see if your plan can succeed!"
Boss Tie was frightened by Zhu Yu's words.
Then he felt that Zhu Yu must be bluffing. If the other party had such a great reputation, how could he still cooperate with Chen Yonghao?
Besides, this guy named Zhu definitely looks familiar. He had already found out about this prominent Chinese in Jakarta.
Therefore, he felt that Zhu Yu must be bluffing!
