Chapter 571: Chapter 353: The Giant White Ladyfish Hand-Spun

As he swam in, Chu Mingcheng discovered that the room was smaller than he had imagined.

First, he checked for any hazards. The fish inside were frightened by his presence and all darted out, including two poisonous lionfish that, with their fins spread out, indeed resembled lions.

After detecting no danger, Chu Mingcheng began to examine the room.

This appeared to be a storeroom too. There were only three leather cases lying on the floor, which seemed to be very well-sealed.

Chu observed that the contents of these three cases must be even more valuable. He immediately passed a rope through the handles of the cases and tied them together.

He then continued his search in other small storerooms, where he found scattered bits of animal pottery.

Most of them were already damaged, and he hadn’t seen any intact pieces yet.

However, Chu Mingcheng widened his eyes in surprise. Could these be a batch of Tang tricolored pottery?

Was this ship from the Tang Dynasty?

Seemingly thinking of something, Chu Mingcheng immediately went to the main storeroom outside and then examined more of these broken pottery relics.

Soon after, he discovered Yue and Xing ware pottery.

He was certain this was likely a merchant ship from the same era as the Black Stone.

The Black Stone was a Tang Dynasty shipwreck discovered near a large black reef in Indonesia, loaded with treasures, including over sixty-seven thousand pieces of porcelain alone.

This shipwreck was salvaged by Germans and eventually sold to Lion City, which is Singapore, for over three thousand Green Coins.

It was quite normal for several, even more than ten, merchant ships of the Maritime Silk Road to sail together.

Considering the Black Stone’s fleet had traded with East Africa, it wasn’t strange to find another ship here after one was discovered in Indonesia.

Chu Mingcheng felt it was a pity that the treasures of this ancient Chinese shipwreck had benefited others, but there was nothing he could do about it.

He continued searching the ship for valuable items and did indeed find a piece of Tang tricolored pottery that was only slightly damaged.

In the end, Chu Mingcheng took away all the intact items from the ship as much as possible.

On the rope, there were still only the three leather cases.

Some other pieces of pottery were kept in a large net, totaling seven items.

Chu Mingcheng actually also wanted to take the gold and silver items, but the small storerooms specially made on the Hei Yao did not have enough space, so he had to let it go.

Having brought this batch of pottery back to the Hei Yao, it was already three-thirty in the morning.

Chu Mingcheng once again woke up the sleeping killer whales and, after calming them down, he was just about to bring the items on board when a thought suddenly struck him.

Bringing the items back could be stored in the secret storeroom, but it wouldn’t be easy to explain to Jiang Luoluo.

Then he could leave the items with the killer whales!

After all, what did Chu Mingcheng have to do with whatever animals did?

Thus, he placed the found pottery and leather cases into the mouths of the killer whales, letting them hold onto them.

With the task completed, today he would personally hunt Golden Spearfish to give them a feast.

After giving detailed instructions, Chu Mingcheng cleaned the ropes and nets he had brought with him, secretly showered, and then snuck back to bed to catch up on sleep with his wife.

At a little after eight in the morning, a still groggy Chu Mingcheng was abruptly pulled out of bed by Jiang Luoluo, who had rushed into the bedroom.

"Ah Cheng, hurry up and get up; your killer whales have done something big!"

"What did the killer whales do?" Chu Mingcheng, looking groggy, asked as he was pulled over to the deck.

Then he saw the leather cases and pottery arranged on the stern deck.

"Where did these come from?"

"Your killer whales brought them."

"The killer whales?"

Chu Mingcheng immediately feigned a surprised expression, although, not being an actor, his expression was somewhat exaggerated.

But Jiang Luoluo wasn’t paying much attention to him at the moment; it was the items brought by the killer whales that truly surprised her.

"When I came out this morning, I saw the killer whales circling the boat, with these things in their mouths. I almost thought I was dreaming and didn’t actually wake up!"

"It’s really incredible!"

"Amazing, where did they find these? Looks like I’ll have to reward them myself today."

At that moment, Jiang Luoluo also remembered being redirected last night and then taking a detour.

She recalled Chu Mingcheng mentioning a very large salvage ship nearby, so she speculated, "Ah Cheng, do you think they might have gone to the area that was blocked off yesterday?"

"Isn’t there a shipwreck being salvaged there? Maybe they were salvaging treasure?"

Much of the ancient wooden ship would ordinarily have dissolved in the ocean over time, leaving only items from the ship buried in the sandy seabed. These items indeed could potentially be moved elsewhere by marine life.

Therefore, while Jiang Luoluo was surprised to see the killer whales bringing these items, she didn’t find it strange that they were capable of doing so.
