Chapter 364: Chapter 363: The Underwater Struggle, Astonishing Live Broadcast!

When the sunken ship appeared on the ocean floor, Xu Yang’s live stream instantly exploded in popularity.

The viewers had never seen such a live broadcast.

Some streamers travel around the world to many dangerous places, such as Mexico, Africa, and more.

But no streamer had ever discovered a sunken ship during a live stream.

Not to mention live streaming, in the news industry, this was national big news.

And now, such content was appearing in Xu Yang’s live stream.

The popularity was naturally unspeakable.

Xu Yang was known for finding a special item from the sunken ship.

Since it was a rare-level task, the completion difficulty must not be low.

But Xu Yang hadn’t noticed anything amiss yet.

It was a wooden ship, and because the material was quite good, it had remained at the bottom of the sea for so many years.

But the mast was already broken, and the ship’s body also looked dilapidated.

The break in the ship revealed a dark, black hole.

Very dark, very gloomy.

Xu Yang didn’t know what was inside, but the item required for the task was definitely among them.

So, he took a deep breath and then slowly approached in the direction of the ship’s body.

The viewers became more and more nervous as they watched.

The underwater world is always so mysterious.

[What does Brother Yang want to do? Is he going in?]

[Oh God, my Thalassophobia is acting up, my hands and feet are ice cold right now!]

[This live stream is just like a movie, it’s so terrifying!]

[Old Xu, be careful, I’m really worried about you getting hurt!]

The barrage kept rolling.

Various gifts kept coming.

This type of live stream could open a gift-rewarding channel, and many big names came to the room, casually giving gifts worth tens of thousands of dollars.

The live stream was extremely hot.

Xu Yang wasn’t paying attention to the situation in the live room.

Once he entered the body of the ship, he switched on the headlamp atop his diving suit.

"Click!"

A beam of light projected from his head, dispersing the darkness in front.

But it only dispelled it a little.

Only when they got closer did everyone see how big the ship was.

Just the gap from the break was already seven or eight meters high.

Xu Yang standing at the gap seemed a bit tiny.

Everyone felt anxious.

He wouldn’t really try to go in, would he?

Could he even get in?

Who would dare?

Just as the viewers were filled with confusion, Xu Yang adjusted his direction and slowly swam forward.

He really planned to go in.

The underwater ship was still worth exploring.

Only to see Xu Yang being completely swallowed by the hole, while the underwater camera closely followed him, capturing his footage.

Below was very dark, and only the part illuminated by the headlamp was visible.

This place seemed dark and quiet, like a deep abyss.

Occasionally, bubbles emerged from his oxygen tank, adding some movement to the tranquil environment.

Xu Yang was cautious; he started to explore inward, circling the walls of the ship’s cabin.

Below was a lot of seaweed, and some starfish resided among them.

But soon, he noticed something was off.

There were no fish here.

Generally, a sunken ship would accumulate a lot of silt and have abundant seaweed, so there would commonly be more fish living among them.

But no fish could be seen here.

Something was amiss.

No fish meant there surely was something else.

Just like how no other wild animals existed in the region occupied by the Northeast Tiger.

Here, some creatures definitely dominated.

Considering this, Xu Yang pulled out a dagger from his waist, vigilantly surveying his surroundings.

[Old Xu has drawn a dagger!]

[Did he find something?]

[Holy shit, this is so scary!]

[There won’t be a shark popping out, right?]

[I can’t even bear to watch!]

The viewers were extremely tense.

Xu Yang continued swimming while observing his surroundings.

It was just a cabin; due to damage to the ship’s body, everything inside had already disappeared.

It’s unknown where the underwater currents had taken it.

Empty, nothing there.

The upper part of the ship’s body had wooden houses, those were relatively enclosed and might retain some items.

At this moment, people from the South Sea Coast Guard, Tourism Department, and Archaeology Department were all watching Xu Yang’s live stream.

A coast guard ship was already heading in this direction.

Such a sizable discovery was bound to attract the attention of many departments.

The viewership in the live stream kept rising, and the day after tomorrow, it showed that there had been over a million people online at the same time. The short video platform also gave his live stream the biggest push.

Basically, everyone who scrolled through short videos would come across his live stream.

Xu Yang continued to move forward.

Just then, suddenly, he felt a wave of panic, his body’s functions began to be activated, and his adrenaline started to surge!

Danger Perception!

His Danger Perception skill had been triggered!

Xu Yang immediately became alert, something had set its sights on him, preparing to attack.

While Xu Yang was on guard, he suddenly saw a dark shadow emerge in front of his headlamp. In the next moment, the shadow lunged toward him.

The light from the headlamp was blocked, flickering on and off.

Viewers could see clearly, an octopus nearly the size of a human, wrapping itself around Xu Yang.

The size of marine creatures is terrifying.

There even exist giant octopuses that can wrestle with sperm whales, with tentacles longer than a human.

However, giant octopuses are found in deep seas hundreds of meters deep, not appearing in such shallow waters.

Yet the octopus in front of him was also enormous.

It lunged forward and immediately wrapped around Xu Yang’s body.

Faced with this danger, Xu Yang knew it was time to fight for his life. He gripped the dagger tightly and stabbed fiercely into the body of the octopus.

The strike wasn’t at the head, not lethal.

"Ah!"

Viewers watching the live stream were startled.

Some even threw their phones away, and others suddenly stood up, their bodies trembling slightly.

Everyone’s eyes were wide open, watching the scene unfold in disbelief.

Such a huge octopus was not just somewhat scary!

To encounter it just like that!

It must be said, this octopus was truly troublesome.

It wrapped around Xu Yang and began to tightly coil.

Luckily, Xu Yang was breathing through an oxygen tank, and the tank on his back was very sturdy; this kind of coiling force couldn’t break the oxygen tank.

The oxygen tank absorbed a lot of the force, so the coiling of the octopus didn’t affect him too much.

Xu Yang felt that the octopus wasn’t loosening its grip and didn’t want to hold back any longer.

After he plunged the dagger into the body of the octopus, he immediately began twisting it.

This twist caused the octopus pain, and it immediately panicked and tried to escape.

Viewers saw Xu Yang and the octopus wrestling fiercely at the seabed.

Bubbles continuously escaped from the oxygen tank.

Everyone assumed Xu Yang had perished.

It was almost certainly a fatal situation.

However, the next second, they saw the octopus hurriedly detaching from Xu Yang and swiftly swimming out from inside the ship.

This large octopus could be called the "local snake" of the ocean, acting as a small boss.

Fish, shrimp, turtles, and crabs in shallow waters were no match for it.

Its enormous size was there for all to see.

But this time, it picked the wrong opponent.

Thus, it ended up escaping in a panic.

Xu Yang, still holding the dagger, remained somewhat tense.

After all, it was a fight for survival, and he couldn’t maintain complete composure.

Luckily, the octopus didn’t intend to fight to the death and fled as soon as it sensed something amiss.

Xu Yang took a few breaths of oxygen, and his adrenaline levels gradually stabilized.

This should be the toughest part of this Treasure Hunting Task.

A large octopus guarding inside a ship cabin.

Like a mini-boss on a map.

Luckily, Xu Yang managed to pass through without much harm.

The biomimetic camera turned toward Xu Yang. Seeing the camera, Xu Yang gave a thumbs up to the viewers in the livestream, indicating that he was in good condition and there was no need to worry.

The barrage exploded once again.

[Bloody hell! Old Xu, you are my god!]

[Brother Yang, you have Divine Skills, how can you be unscathed?]

[Wow, he’s even in the mood to give a thumbs up!]

[Strongest on the net, totally irrefutable!]

[I’ve never seen anyone so badass, invincible!]

The screen was filled with praise.

Today’s livestream was truly shocking.

Ever since Xu Yang started live streaming his treasure hunts across the country, his livestreams had become more and more exciting and engaging.

Xu Yang didn’t pause, continuing to search for the designated Item in the ship’s hull.

The so-called special Item was just a plaque.

Xu Yang didn’t find it inside the ship’s cabin; when he swam to a room above, after searching around, he quickly found it.

System prompted that the task had been successfully completed.

This Rare Level character’s difficulty lay in the seabed sixty meters deep, guarded by a large octopus with a strong desire to attack, posing a certain risk to life.

However, Xu Yang’s decisiveness, as well as the insertion of the dagger into the octopus’s body, meant the octopus did not engage in a fight to the death with Xu Yang.

"The octopus backed off; otherwise, it would have been quite dangerous."

"This guy’s strength is truly great!"

Xu Yang felt the pressure of the seabed increasing, making breathing somewhat difficult.

It wasn’t a lack of oxygen, but the pressure compressing his lungs, making breathing laborious.

After completing the task, he hesitated no more and immediately started swimming toward the surface.

This heart-stopping live stream was nearing its climax.
