After some searching, we finally managed to find the first treasure.

However, now that we had found the first treasure, the second one must be nearby.

This was because in ancient times, ships were loaded with a certain pattern. The least valuable and most common goods were placed on top, while the precious and valuable treasures were placed below.

The ivory statues we had found at the beginning, although exquisitely crafted, were mass-produced after all and wouldn't fetch much money.

On the other hand, the armor that was found later was a genuine treasure.

In other words, the things that Ma Hailong was now unearthing should be of the same level as this armor, belonging to the category of rare treasures.

Sure enough, he soon dug out another treasure chest from the mud. The appearance of this treasure chest was almost identical to the one containing the armor, both wrapped in iron sheets.

Ma Hailong dragged the box out and threw it to Yu Xiaobo. Yu Xiaobo didn't hesitate. He took a crowbar and quickly pried the treasure chest open.

After prying it open, they saw that the box actually contained a metal Buddha statue about 60 centimeters high! The Buddha statue was shining brightly and seemed to be inlaid with gemstones!

"Holy crap!"

The moment I saw the Buddha statue, I couldn't help but shout. Although I was an amateur, I could tell that this Buddha statue was definitely a genuine treasure.

Yu Xiaobo, who had obtained the treasure, also had his eyes glowing. Although he was wearing a diving helmet, I could still see his joy.

Without a doubt, in terms of value, this Buddha statue was much more valuable than the armor from before. And more importantly, since the armor had been given to Ma Hailong, then according to the seniority and order of our four people, this Buddha statue would definitely go to Yu Xiaobo.

Although Mei Shu and I were envious, we understood the rules of the game.

We were the newcomers, and the newcomers had to wait until these two seniors had taken their share before we could take ours.

Ma Hailong also pointed to Yu Xiaobo's backpack, signaling him to put away the Buddha statue.

Yu Xiaobo was quite embarrassed and made a show of declining to us. Mei Shu and I quickly waved our hands, not wanting to snatch what wasn't ours.

Yu Xiaobo then pointed to the armor in Ma Hailong's backpack and then to the Buddha statue in his hand. He was asking if he should use the Buddha statue to exchange for the armor, since the Buddha statue was clearly more valuable than the armor, and he didn't want Ma Hailong to suffer a loss.

However, Ma Hailong was also a man of principle and didn't take advantage of the situation. He shook his head, signaling Yu Xiaobo to quickly put away the Buddha statue.

Yu Xiaobo offered it around for a while, and finally smiled and took the Buddha statue back. With this Buddha statue, he had definitely made a killing this trip!

After Yu Xiaobo put away the Buddha statue, Ma Hailong continued to dig for boxes.

Mei Shu and I weren't in a hurry, because according to the current situation, the boxes further down in the cabin contained more valuable treasures.

The first thing that was dug out was the armor, and then there was Yu Xiaobo's gemstone-encrusted Buddha statue. Who knew what good things could be found further down?

Ma Hailong was quick, and in the blink of an eye, he dragged out another cargo box from the mud. This cargo box was still wrapped in a layer of iron, indicating that the goods inside should be very valuable.

Yu Xiaobo couldn't wait to reach out and take it, but during the handover between the two, the wooden planks at the bottom of the box suddenly rotted open, and then the treasures inside fell out, falling on the floor and mixing with the previous currency.

We looked down and were all taken aback.

The goods in the box were all sparkling with precious light, and were all kinds of valuable jewelry—there were gemstone necklaces, gold bracelets, gemstone rings, and a headdress that looked very much like a crown, with a very exquisite shape.

Yu Xiaobo picked up the crown and examined it carefully. I also followed suit, and saw that the base of this "crown" was lotus-shaped, and the shape on top was a bit like a small hill. This crown should be made of pure gold, and it was also inlaid with three grape-sized gemstones.

This shouldn't be a real "crown." After all, how could a real "crown" be transported overseas as goods for circulation? Because the other goods in this box were all women's jewelry, I guessed that this crown was actually a kind of women's headdress.

At this time, Yu Xiaobo handed the crown to Mei Shu and me, signaling us to take it.

After all, according to the order, this batch of treasures should indeed belong to us.

The two of us weren't polite. I took the crown, looked at it carefully, and turned around to hand it to Mei Shu.

The moment I got the crown, my heart was beating fast. Although I was an amateur in the antique business and it was difficult to estimate the value of this crown, even an amateur could guess that this treasure could easily be sold for one or two million (r

But because he was in the water, his movements were still half a beat slower. The arm he stretched out couldn't be retracted, and was firmly grabbed by that hand!

I looked over with a jump in my heart, and saw that the hand was covered with black scales. The five fingers were short and thick, but the nails were very long. That was not a human hand at all, but rather like the hand of a reptile like a crocodile or lizard!
