Chapter 1866: Chapter 1745: You Fell into the Trap
"How about it, Mr. Song? Did you find the reef you mentioned?"
A shirtless middle-aged man walked over, smiling as he asked Song Yun.
This cruise ship wasn’t large, with only three people on board. The strong man before him was Wang Jiu, both the captain and the sailor.
The other two were Wang Jiu’s subordinates.
Song Yun turned to look at Wang Jiu: "It should be in this area. Let’s look around a bit more."
Wang Jiu said, "Mr. Song, forgive my bluntness, but what exactly are you looking for in these waters?"
Song Yun replied, "I lost something in the sea here while playing around a few years ago."
Hearing this, Wang Jiu was speechless, thinking to himself how impossible it was to find something lost in the sea years ago.
"I wish you success, Mr. Song."
Wang Jiu shook his head and said no more, returning to the cabin to steer the ship.
Song Yun didn’t bother to explain. He knew very well that searching for the divine weapon mentioned in the book was difficult, but he chose to trust Yin Xi’s Manual.
He turned back to look at the sea, still stretching endlessly.
He looked down at the tablet in his hand, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
The screen displayed a vast reef about a hundred square meters wide, and its shape resembled a turtle.
"Found it!"
Song Yun’s face lit up with joy. He quickly determined the direction and shouted toward Wang Jiu in the cockpit: "Old Wang, head west."
Wang Jiu didn’t ask much and immediately changed direction, steering according to Song Yun’s instructions.
Soon, the cruise ship stopped on the sea.
According to the records in Yin Xi’s Manual, the divine weapon was located in the waters below this point.
Song Yun had prepared his diving gear in advance. After changing, he was about to dive when Wang Jiu said, "Mr. Song, should we tie a rope to you? In case of danger, we can pull you up."
"No need, just turn on the lights under the ship to give me a signal."
With that, Song Yun jumped off the side of the ship and plunged into the water.
He was an excellent swimmer, and with his newly reached level, he moved quickly underwater, soon reaching a depth of two hundred meters.
At two hundred meters deep, the water pressure was intense, but it had no effect on Song Yun.
He turned on the searchlight on his head, and a beam of light pierced the dark ocean, illuminating the way ahead.
The corals and fish in the deep sea were stunningly beautiful, but Song Yun had no time to admire them. He swiftly began searching the area. Although he didn’t find the divine weapon immediately, he did come across some other odds and ends.
It seemed that humans had lost quite a few things in the sea.
The search continued for two hours, during which Song Yun expanded his search area significantly, but still found nothing.
"Could it be that someone else took the item, or that the divine weapon was carried away by the ocean currents?"
Song Yun thought to himself, considering giving up.
But just then, his gaze fell upon a coral cluster.
The corals grew in strange shapes, and within their gaps was a sword. The blade was covered in moss, obscuring its original appearance.
Some corals even grew over the sword itself. If not for Song Yun’s keen eyesight, it would have been hard to notice it was a sword.
He swam over, grabbed the hilt, and pulled the sword out with force.
Initially, he expected the sword to be long, but it was embedded less than an inch into the coral.
Upon closer inspection, he realized it was a broken sword.
"Could this be the divine weapon mentioned in Yin Xi’s Manual?"
Song Yun felt speechless. It seemed to him that this was nothing but a worthless piece of junk.
Rumble...
At that moment, a loud noise erupted as the coral where the broken sword was embedded suddenly collapsed, quickly forming a vortex, pulling everything around it downward.
"Oh no!"
Song Yun felt a force tugging at him, prompting him to swim upwards urgently.
The vortex’s pull was strong, but Song Yun reacted quickly and swam even faster, reaching a safe distance of a hundred meters away within seconds.
He looked back at the vortex, which had vanished, while the corals were all sucked under, leaving nothing behind.
Even many nearby fish were caught in the disaster, dragged into the vortex.
"The vortex came so suddenly. Could it be related to the broken sword?"
Song Yun shook his head, refocusing his gaze on the broken sword enveloped in thick moss.
He took out a knife from his waist and began scraping off the moss. His expression changed as soon as he exposed part of the blade.
"Good stuff!"
Just from the gleam and material of the blade, Song Yun could tell that this sword was extraordinary.
He quickly scraped away the moss covering the sword’s body, finally revealing its true appearance.
The broken sword was about half a meter long, with a surface of light black and a blade as dark as ink. The hilt was silver, and the broken sword emitted a cold chill that made Song Yun’s bones tremble.
The break was clean, as if it had been cut, and at the cut, the blade’s interior wasn’t black, but fiery red, resembling some type of rock.
In short, the sword was mysterious and sharp.
"Let’s give it a try!"
With a thought, Song Yun swung the sword toward a massive underwater reef nearby.
A faint black sword qi emitted from the broken sword, splitting the water apart as the sword qi struck the reef.
Boom.
With a loud noise, the reef, as large as a truck, shattered into pieces, turning to dust that blended into the sea.
"Holy crap, that’s intense!"
Song Yun was shocked. If this wasn’t a divine weapon, then such a thing didn’t exist in the world.
