Reborn As Super Heiress

Chapter 1621: Chapter 1605: A Living Sonar?

This is the South Atlantic waters. Although Gu Xu did not find any historical documentation on the shipwreck from the wax pill address given by Huo Sining, he still discovered many shipwrecks in the Atlantic Ocean, including the famous Titanic, Mary Rose, and others.

For a long time, underwater shipwrecks have been recognized globally as the most mysterious treasures. These treasures attract the strong attention of children, treasure hunters, and countless archaeologists.

UNESCO once estimated that there are over three million shipwreck remains lying on the ocean floors worldwide, yet only a very small part of these shipwreck remains have been discovered by explorers.

Most of the time, these shipwrecks are deeply buried under the sea, remaining there until they are completely corroded by seawater.

As for those shipwreck treasures, they are even more like one legend after another.

Many adventurers are devoted to retrieving these myths from the sea, eventually turning them into real, mountain-like piles of gold coins and treasures.

Currently, the number of treasure seekers worldwide is countless, and these people include not only pirates and ocean exploration companies, but also some families whose entire generations are involved, all in search of wealth lost hundreds of years ago.

Several years ago, the Schmidt family, professionals in treasure hunting at sea, discovered a shipwreck in the waters near America. They found inside the shipwreck valuables, including several gold bars, gold coins, and gold rings, which have a history of at least three to four hundred years and are worth hundreds of thousands of US dollars.

However, one-fifth of these salvaged treasures have to be handed over to the local government, and the salvage party can only obtain a portion of it. Yet this enormous temptation still attracts many ocean explorers expecting to become rich overnight.

But Huo Sining is different. They set out this time under the guise of going out to dive, and even if they do find treasure, Huo Sining would hide the items in her Space, never allowing them to be easily taken by a foreign government.

The purpose of Huo Sining’s trip is to search for a WWII cargo ship that was swept into the sea by a hurricane. The reason this ship is their first target is that, according to the information Gu Xu found, the cargo ship was carrying a batch of antiques transported from Spain.

Huo Sining’s target is this batch of antiques.

If these antiques are valuable, then Huo Sining can use these antiquities for the first round of exchange with the Albert family.

Regardless of how many, she always has to bring those things back to Huaxia Country batch by batch.

With this thought in mind, Huo Sining almost immediately decided to take a trip to this sea area.

To find this place, Huo Sining and Gu Xu have made a lot of preparations during this time, but once they dove into the sea and sank to the bottom, Huo Sining realized that she had oversimplified everything.

The historical records did not specify the exact location of this sunken ship, so they could only find a general area. However, after diving to the seabed, she discovered that it was truly vast here, with many trenches, mountain peaks, and coral rocks at the sea bottom, and the terrain was extremely complex. To locate a sunken ship in such an expansive area was incredibly challenging.

After searching below for dozens of minutes, Huo Sining’s eyes were dazzled, and she didn’t find any shadow of a shipwreck, so she had no choice but to return to the surface.

Seeing Huo Sining emerge, the others swam over to her in unison, and Gu Xu looked at her with a concerned expression.

Huo Sining, however, shook her head somewhat gloomily.

”Let’s take a break before we continue; we’ll change locations.”

Gu Xu looked at the vast sea and couldn’t help frowning.

Huo Sining could only nod. Just as she was about to climb ashore, Zhong Xiaoyao grabbed her arm.

Zhong Xiaoyao couldn’t speak and could only communicate through gestures. After a lot of gesturing, Huo Sining finally understood her meaning.

Zhong Xiaoyao wanted to accompany her to help.

Slightly puzzled, Huo Sining thought that the ocean floor was no place for joking around. Although Qibao and Zhong Xiaoyao could transform into Jiaoren, allowing them to swim freely in water, they couldn’t resist the power of nature. They could only dive dozens of meters deep at most, beyond which the strong pressure of the seawater would be unbearable even for Jiaoren.

But Huo Sining was different. Her Azure Pearl could shield her from the intense pressure of the seawater, allowing her to move unobstructed, even at depths of hundreds or thousands of meters.

While Zhong Xiaoyao and the others played in the sea, Huo Sining didn’t worry about them having any accidents, but the fact that Zhong Xiaoyao now volunteered to help made her hesitate.

She could indeed take someone down, but only if they were physically connected to her. However, with the complicated conditions underwater, if anything went wrong, she wouldn’t be able to explain it to Old Mr. Zhong.

Huo Sining wasn’t too willing to take Zhong Xiaoyao deep underwater, but Zhong Xiaoyao kept gesturing, quite insistently.

After some consideration, Huo Sining decided to take Zhong Xiaoyao to the bottom of the sea. Having an extra pair of hands would undoubtedly increase efficiency over working alone.

”Once we’re down this afternoon, you mustn’t wander off. I’ll be taking you with me, and you have to hold my hand tightly, or you’ll not withstand the pressure below the ocean.”

Zhong Xiaoyao nodded, and after a bit of rest, they dove back into the water.

After entering the water, Huo Sining and Zhong Xiaoyao began their search on the ocean floor. However, moving together meant certain limitations; it was easier for Huo Sining to move about casually alone, but with Zhong Xiaoyao, her movements were less free.

Underwater, Zhong Xiaoyao was silent but gravely pulled out something resembling a compass from her chest.

Huo Sining couldn’t comprehend Zhong Xiaoyao’s intentions, and Zhong Xiaoyao didn’t explain. She held the compass in her left hand and with her right, she transmitted the Spiritual Energy from her Golden Spirit Pearl into it, covering the compass.

In the blink of an eye, the needle on the compass responded as though stimulated, turning rapidly for dozens of seconds before finally fixing in a direction.

Indicating firmly in that direction, Zhong Xiaoyao made a gesture to Huo Sining.

The meaning of the gesture was clear: the shipwreck was in that direction!

Surprised, Huo Sining widened her eyes, looking at Zhong Xiaoyao in astonishment, thinking to herself, could it be?

Zhong Xiaoyao, could she really be a living shipwreck detector?
