Chapter 517: Chapter 355: Mysterious Underwater World_2

Unlike the previous golden treasures unearthed on land, these contained a variety of items, including some wooden statues. However, under the water, they had basically decayed. Only two had turned into gloomy wood, which Sean Knight promptly collected.

Half an hour later, Sean Knight had salvaged all the items in the area, roughly amounting to nearly a hundred pieces.

In terms of value, while it may not match the pit of goldware found in the forest, it still amounted to several tens of millions of dollars.

In this space, there were also many human and animal bones.

Sean Knight pieced together the puzzle in his mind, realizing that at least dozens of people had been sacrificed, with even more animal bones present.

The harvest was substantial, but he did not see a single bone that contained the same type of energy as the child’s spine.

Sean Knight turned his attention to the underwater plant life.

These plants grew in the very center of the underwater space, occupying an area about the size of a basketball court.

Various types of plants grew in dense clusters.

Looking at the diverse forms of vegetation, Sean Knight was somewhat hesitant to approach.

However, thinking it over, he had already come so far, and this trip would not be complete if he did not venture forth.

Sean Knight took the first step, and his steps became more firm after that.

He was still cautious.

Although he hadn’t encountered any danger before, no one could guarantee that there wouldn’t be any danger in these plants—

his Sky Eye scanned the area and found several species living among the plants. He wasn’t sure if those creatures were dangerous or not.

In any case, he had to be careful.

Sean Knight gradually moved into the plant cluster. He noticed that some plants moved closer when he passed by, and some moved away, as if they could sense something.

However, he soon dismissed that thought as he saw a large number of sacrificial implements buried in the silt beneath the plant roots through his Sky Eye!

These sacrificial implements were brimming with energy, and the plants’ roots seemed to be wrapping around these instruments, subtly absorbing the latent energy.

Not far away, a human arm bone lay in the silt, the green energy within was the same as that found in the spine he had picked up before!

Sean Knight immediately went over and dug out the arm bone.

With the bone came a plant root, behaving almost as if it were alive, it wound itself around the arm bone, reluctant to let go.

It was only when Sean Knight had completely collected the arm bone that the seemingly despondent root tentatively explored its surroundings before drooping down again.

Sean Knight felt that these plants were not like those on land; their roots and even their leaves, could potentially carry abnormal vitality.

So when he used a shovel to dig out the sacrificial implements beneath the silt, he was extremely careful to avoid disturbing the plant roots as much as possible.

Despite this, as he crouched down to dig out a thigh bone, a slender thing resembling the fine branch of some plant slithered over, opened its mouth wide, and lunged at Sean Knight’s neck from behind!

Sean’s hand suddenly reached backward, nabbing the snake-like creature in one swift move!

Having seized the creature’s throat, it instantly coiled around his arm!

Moreover, the tightening grip of this coil was so powerful, that Sean Kelly felt as if he could barely maintain his grip!

A competitive spirit surged within Sean Knight, and he swiftly increased his grip!

With his current strength, even a brick in his hand could be crushed into powder.

But the skin of this "water snake" was incredibly tough. Even though he had already choked the snake to death, its skin did not show any signs of damage!

Only the flesh and bones inside had turned into pulp.

What a great material!

Sean Knight stashed the creature into his spatial realm. Using his Sky Eye, he scanned the area and discovered that there were still many "water snakes" in the surrounding plant clusters!

Some were preying on fish, some were lurking, some were slowly crawling on the plants, and others were swimming towards Sean Knight!

Sean Knight did not panic. Now that he had confirmed the combat capability of these "water snakes", he recognized that if he chose to retreat, he would lose the opportunity to salvage the abundant valuables in this underwater realm.

With the Sky Eye as a cheat device, he was not afraid of these creatures—the first "water snake" that swam towards him was swiftly caught by the neck and killed before it could coil around him.

This was swiftly followed by the second, third...

The "water snakes" didn’t act in unison, which gave Sean plenty of opportunities.

After killing fourteen "water snakes", Sean Knight took a break, before using his Sky Eye to continue scanning. Determining there was no immediate threat, he crouched down and began to "collect treasures" once more.

One by one, he dug up pieces, making a mess in the silt, but his harvest kept getting richer and richer.

The things Sean Knight was intentionally searching for, started appearing one after another ——

Ribs, finger bones, palm bones, pelvic bones...

One piece after another, one by one, in the end, Sean Knight felt that he could almost piece together a human figure.

Just missing a head.

Sean Knight skillfully dodged those gigantic plants, then came in front of a massive "coral".

Where the Sky Eye moved, it saw that the base of this "coral" was enveloping a skull.

The skull was emanating a powerful energy, which was being gradually absorbed by this "coral".

Without a doubt, this skull should be the boy’s head.

To get this skull out, he had to dig up the roots of this plant.

Sean Knight was a bit worried.

But after sensing it, the energy contained in this skull was several times the total energy of all the other bones combined!

It was even higher than the energy in that silver cross!

This was worth taking a gamble for!

Sean Knight took out a shovel from his spatial realm and started digging!

Fortunately, even though this plant looked like a coral, it wasn’t a real coral, and was even not as hard as the trees outside.

After all, it grew underwater, and though flexible, it was fairly watery, making its roots relatively easy to dig up.

Just as he had dug up half of it, Sean Knight felt a sense of foreboding!

The upper part of this plant began to twist!

Could it be that this energy has created a monster?

With a hardened heart, Sean Knight instantly switched his shovel for a saw, quickly cutting down this massive plant from its base!

The twisting of the plant intensified, and many organisms began to flee from it, some heading towards other plants, some darting downwards to attack Sean Knight!

Sean Knight quickly dug out the skull with a shovel, put it in his spatial realm, then raised his head, waving the shovel, swatting down the small animals that came to attack one by one!

Despite being underwater, the swinging of the shovel still splashed out plenty of colored blood.

Soon, the taste of the blood and water flow attracted more predators!

But by this time, Sean Knight had quietly moved to another direction of the plant group, observed that there were no dangers around, and continued digging out the sacrificial implements underneath the silt.

Although the water entry was right at the bottom of the lake, Sean Knight guessed that he didn’t know when he would come back next time. Instead of waiting for the next time, it’s better to salvage as much as possible this time.

Estimating the remaining oxygen, Sean Knight sped up the excavation.

At this time, the killing among the organisms had ended, and three or four large fish over two meters long became the final victors.

However, they were not satisfied, as if the food was still too scarce. They even started biting each other to fight for a mouthful of food, revealing sharp teeth in their large mouths.

Just then, a huge creature suddenly plunged straight down from above, one mouthful was enough to bite a big fish, swinging it vigorously, and then swallowed it!

The other big fishes immediately scattered and quickly disappeared without a trace!

Sean Knight also felt the change in the water flow above, and immediately turned on the Sky Eye to take a look!

He saw a tail that was over one meter long and nearly two meters wide!

And that thing swam very fast, its body had already left the range that the Eye of Sky could observe!

Sean Knight was instantly startled!

He immediately gave up the idea of ​​continuing to dig, preparing to float up!

After all, the main target had been salvaged, and it is estimated that this trip’s income is over a hundred million.

He should leave quickly!

Safety is the most important!

He deliberately avoided the direction where he saw the tail earlier and started floating up from the other side!

Hoping to avoid that big guy!
