Chapter 1193: Chapter 610: Is it so big because it’s from the Kuafu Clan?_3

Several people spread out, keeping a distance of ten to twenty meters between them to avoid tangling the ropes.

They had already searched around the statue and found nothing new. Now the depth beneath the lake surface was not consistently deep; this area was about the same depth as the area near the statue, twenty to thirty meters, which wasn’t too deep. So, when they dived down, they didn’t feel much pressure and the surroundings weren’t completely black.

Sean Knight had activated his Sky Eye and scanned the surroundings but did not spot that big fellow, so he began to search the area, looking down.

He had basically confirmed that this ancient ruin site was extremely old, so much so that nearly all the buildings had been leveled by the lake water.

Only cumbersome stone structures like the giant stone statues and giant stone city walls remained. Of course, it was possible that other stone buildings existed in deeper areas, which would require bit by bit searching.

Although they had only found some pottery earlier, Sean Knight was in no hurry.

A single golden helmet had covered all the expenditures and even yielded several times more in profit.

Hence, with a clear approach in mind, the next step was to search for underwater hollow places and holes. Only in these kinds of places could daily utensils and heavier metal products be preserved.

And what could be preserved were basically either pottery that does not deteriorate easily or gold that does not rust easily.

Morning passed with no harvest.

Lunch was simply eaten on the boat. With the cook on board, delicious food was natural—while the team members were "archaeologically digging" underwater, those who remained on the boat had started fishing.

So lunch was quite lavish.

They continued salvaging in the afternoon. As dusk approached, Sean Knight discovered a hollow place.

The hollow was deep, covered with silt. If it weren’t for his Sky Eye, he wouldn’t have been able to see it at all.

The silt was half a meter deep, and then there was a layer of rocks. Below that were some broken pieces of pottery.

At the very bottom, there were rusted bronze ware and various sizes of gold ware!

The diameter of the hollow place was two to three meters, and it had a depth of five to six meters.

Just imagine how many items could be hidden inside!

However, Sean Knight was also surprised. The pottery they found earlier was about the size of jars used for pickling vegetables at home and wasn’t anything special.

The pottery inside this place, just looking at the shards, would likely be large ones with a diameter of over a meter when put together.

As for the gold ware, they too were big cargo!

A golden axe blade part alone was nearly half a meter!

A golden headband, with a diameter of over half a meter!

An item, whether it was a wine glass or a bowl—it was the size of a basin, but it had a curved grip at the bottom.

So then, what exactly was this?

A rough estimate was that each item weighed at least twenty kilograms!

At the bottom of the hollow, there were also some shiny stones—gemstones and diamonds.

Not one was smaller than an egg!

This one sure pulled up something big!

As Sean Knight observed those large-sized items through his Sky Eye, he felt as if he had entered a land of giants—could it be? Were the original owners of these objects from the Kuafu Clan?

With this speculation in mind, Sean Knight had already started clearing the silt from the top.

The once clear lake water immediately became muddy.

Sean Knight’s actions quickly caught the attention of the other team members. Elijah Hastings and Lincoln Harrington were the first ones to come over, this time Douglas Cooper remained on the boat.

After making some gestures, the others immediately understood and began to clean up.

Elijah and the other two never doubted Sean Knight’s judgment. Even if other team members had doubts, they couldn’t express them underwater, so they all joined in the clean-up.

There was no speeding up the process; once the water turned muddy, visibility was affected.

Moreover, this wasn’t a professional salvage ship and lacked underwater sandblasting equipment, so they could only dig bit by bit.

Luckily, the team was experienced. While some dug, others cleared away the excavated goods, coordinating quite well.

Half an hour later, the silt and rocks had been cleared, and what came out next were pottery shards and rusted metal.

Seeing the harvest, everyone grew more excited.

When the first shiny golden axe, cleaned of mud and silt to reveal its true face in the lake water, was unearthed, everyone was stunned!

The previous items were justifiable, objects used in daily life by ancient people.

But this thing, this had value!

One by one, gold utensils were recovered, and after a count, there were thirteen, weighing approximately three hundred kilograms worth of gold goods!

After all the goods had been dug out, the big hollow was virtually clear.

But when Sean Knight dived down again, it caught the others off guard.

It was empty already, wasn’t it?

Nothing but hard packed dirt and some rock fragments remained below.

This was what the last team member who dived thought. Could the boss really dig up something else good?

Then, next, as Sean Knight surfaced from the water holding a sapphire the size of a fist, it shocked everyone once more!

Man! The best stuff was actually at the very bottom!

After counting, there were over a hundred gemstones and more than ten diamonds.

Though crudely cut, anyone could see how transparent they were—high-quality indeed!

Ultimately, with a gesture from Sean Knight indicating there was nothing left below, the others emerged from the water still longing for more.

The people on the boat were equally elated!

The pottery shards were left unattended.

Gold ware!

Such a large size!

They had thought they were coming to examine antiques, but who could have imagined they would actually strike it rich?

The team members were aware that Sean Knight was not a stingy person. As long as he made a fortune, their bonuses were definitely going to be substantial!

This time was a sure win!

When the gemstones were brought up, the most excited person turned out to be Cheryl Suweton.

She had seen her fair share of gold ware, but such large, numerous and high-quality gemstones were truly rare!

Cheryl felt that she and Sean Knight were incredibly fortunate!

She could hardly wait to give Sean Knight a big hug!
