When they entered the cabin, the remaining trace of light disappeared, and the surroundings were pitch black.

However, Ji Chen’s eyes shone brightly as he looked around him.

The water-proof cabin at the bow of the ship should be the nest of the Electric Eels. There were some corpses of fish and sea monsters piled up, and dozens of fist-sized Electric Eel eggs in the corner.

After controlling the seawater to squeeze the Electic Eel eggs into minced meat, he swam directly into the depths of the cabin.

After leaving the cabin at the bow of the ship, they came to the second deck. From here, they could gradually see some pale skeletons. In the empty eyes, it seemed to be telling the tragic scene of sinking.

Ji Chen’s heart was unmoved. The water surged and pushed the bones that were blocicing his way to the side.

The second deck should be where the crew lived. There were a relatively large number of bones left. However, they found some waterproof money bags containing gold and silver coins on these bones.

Even though these were nothing compared to the hundreds of thousands of gold coins in Pirate Edward’s treasure, they were still meat, so he still casually took them away.

At this time, the Naga warriors who entered the shipwreck from other places also sent news that they had found the place where the goods were stored.

Ji Chen’s heart skipped a beat when he heard the news. He immediately swam over.

Compared to gold and silver coins, he wanted to obtain some valuable resources that he could use in his territory immediately.

After passing through the cabin and the stairs, they arrived at the third deck.

Compared to gold and silver coins, he now desired valuable resources that he could immediately use in his territory.

Passing through the cabins and staircases, he arrived at the third deck.

Amidst the large patches of mud in the cargo hold, damaged crates revealed a silver gleam.

Ji Chen’s eyes lit up.

It was Mithril!

This merchant ship was actually carrying Mithril?

Suppressing his excitement, he immediately signaled the Naga Warrior to start digging through the mud.

The Naga Warriors wielded their bone blades, their wide and sturdy blades resembling crude shovels, digging through the mud.

As the mud was cleared away, neatly formed pieces of mithril were unearthed.

Judging by the size of the cargo hold, there should be a considerable amount of Mithril buried here.

At this moment, Anina, who had disappeared after entering the sunken ship, suddenly swam in through a partially open door and approached Ji Chen. Her face showed some excitement, and she began gesturing continuously.

It seemed like she wanted to convey some good news to him.

However, after observing for a while, Ji Chen still couldn’t understand the meaning behind Anina’s gestures.

Shaking his head, he used his mana to create a barrier, isolating the seawater around him and Anina, forming a bubble filled with air.

Now they could communicate.

The Dragon Whale girl looked at the barrier that had formed around them, her eyes filled with immense astonishment. After holding her breath for a while, she finally spoke.

“My Lord, when did you have such a skill?”

“I obtained this class ability during our previous voyage,” Ji Chen smiled, not explaining too much. He asked, “Did you discover something?”

At this moment, Anina remembered what she had seen earlier and quickly said, “1 found the captain’s quarters.”

The captain’s quarters?

Ji Chen’s interest was immediately piqued.

This was another place worth exploring besides the cargo hold.

After all, the captain held the highest authority on the ship, and there might be some valuable items stored in his living quarters.

“Take me there.”

Upon hearing this, Anina wasted no time and immediately led the way.

A few minutes later, they maneuvered through winding cabins and corridors, arriving at a thick wooden door.

The door was quite thick and difficult to open due to water pressure.

Originally, Ji Chen wanted to drain the water again and open the door, but Anina pointed to the side.

Beside the door, there was a large hole in the wall.

Seeing Ji Chen’s slightly astonished expression, she proudly smiled and raised her clean, white fist.

She was trying to show that she had forcefully broken it open.

Well, strength truly allows one to do as they please.

Entering the captain’s quarters through the large hole, they immediately saw a set of skeletal remains wedged behind the door, with its hands tightly gripping the handle.

Judging by the attire, he was likely the captain of this ship.

The wooden door was tightly shut, indicating that the captain hadn’t had time to escape. The inflowing seawater had sealed the door, and he likely drowned alive.

Perhaps, before embarking on long-distance trading, he had fantasized about making a fortune, thinking that he could return to a life of worry-free livelihood and be with his family in happiness.

Unfortunately, not everyone had the same luck as Raymond. He not only escaped the pursuit of pirates but also survived the storms in the outer periphery of the Stormy Sea.

Everything came to a halt at the moment the ship sank.

The two of them began searching the captain’s quarters, and soon they discovered a locked metal box beneath the wooden bed.

The material of the box was unknown, but despite the passage of time, it hadn’t rusted at all. Its surface still shimmered with scales, and its sealing was excellent.

It was estimated that this was the captain’s small treasury, just like the captain himself, who didn’t have time to leave and remained buried at the bottom of the sea.

In addition to this metal box, Ji Chen also found a special parchment on the top of the ship’s cabin.

The surface was colorful and emitted a faint light, preserving it well from the erosion of seawater.

He took it directly in his hand and examined it.

It was a map, which detailed the entire Western Central Ocean, including various locations such as ports, islands, and sea names. It also marked the frequent appearances of monsters, pirates, and dangers in each sea area.

It could be said that with the help of this map, one’s grasp and safety in traversing the Western Central Ocean would be significantly improved by 50%..
