Chapter 183 Discovering Pirate Treasure
"Sis, what happened? Don't worry, tell me first."

Chen Wei quickly got up; if Su Mengdie were to shed tears, things would be very bad.

"I was typing over there when a snake suddenly darted out from a crack in the rocks. In my excitement, I threw my phone into the sea," Su Mengdie explained.

A mobile phone wouldn't have caused Su Mengdie to behave like this; it's probably because the drafts she had saved were still inside.

"Is there no cloud backup?" Chen Wei asked to confirm.

Cloud backup!
Su Mengdie was somewhat surprised; Chen Wei had already guessed what she was getting before she had even said anything.

He immediately explained, "The word processing software I use only has local backups to reduce the risk of my work being stolen."

Looking at her pitiful expression, making Su Mengdie rewrite those contents would probably be more torturous than killing her.

"Anyway, take me there to have a look first."

“Okay.” Su Mengdie walked ahead, leading the way for Chen Wei.

"what!"

As they walked, Su Mengdie suddenly screamed, turned around and hugged Chen Wei tightly, her eyes closed.

Chen Wei could clearly feel the frequency of her body trembling with fear.

Then, upon closer inspection, she exclaimed, "Sis, that thing isn't a snake, it's an electric eel!"

"An electric eel?" Su Mengdie slowly let go, turned around, and still felt terrified.

She has no natural resistance to these long, thin creatures.

Seeing this, Chen Wei kicked the electric eel back into the sea, saying speechlessly, "Why did you come ashore to scare people?"

"Sister, don't be afraid anymore, it's gone."

Upon hearing this, Su Mengdie slowly turned around, and only after confirming that the electric eel had disappeared did she breathe a sigh of relief.

"Sis, think carefully, which direction did you leave the phone in?"

Su Mengdie sat back in the seat where she had been typing, her mind replaying scenes from before. Then she pointed to her right side, at a 45-degree angle, and said, "Over there."

Chen Wei walked over, but he couldn't see anything with the naked eye; this place was unusually deep.

"Sister, I'm going downstairs to take a look." With that, Chen Wei took off his shirt.

What a fit physique!

Su Mengdie was stunned for a moment, and only then did she realize that Chen Wei had already jumped into the sea. She didn't even have time to finish her sentence, "Xiao Wei, be careful..."

Chen Wei went down three or four meters, and "he still couldn't see the bottom."

Continuing deeper, they discovered a hole.

The phone was stuck on the edge, covered by a waterproof bag.

Chen Wei didn't rush to leave; the stone cave caught his attention.

The cave walls were so smooth, as if they had been artificially polished.

Who would do something like this for no reason? So Chen Wei concluded that something must be hidden deep inside this cave.

To avoid worrying Su Mengdie about his safety, Chen Wei chose to swim ashore first and hand her his phone.

"Thank you so much, Xiaowei!" Su Mengdie gave Chen Wei a big bear hug.

"It's nothing, we're all family, no need to be so polite."

Chen Wei reminded her, "Sis, writing is important, but your leisure life is just as important. Don't overwork yourself; it will worry us."

"Okay, then I'll go find Yumeng and the others." Su Mengdie didn't object.

"Okay, I'll swim a little longer." Chen Wei planned to explore the bottom of the cave.

"Then be careful," Su Mengdie reminded her before disappearing behind the rocky hill.

Chen Wei leaped into the sea, found the stone cave, and crawled inside.

The deeper they went, the larger the space became. When Chen Wei emerged from the cave and climbed ashore, he was slightly surprised.

"I never imagined that there would be such a hidden world beneath this island."

The space here is the size of two or three football fields, and in front of Chen Wei is a large wooden ship in the style of the last century.

The hull was rotten; large pieces could be torn off with a gentle pry.

Once aboard the boat, Chen Wei moved with extreme caution, as if he were worried about collapsing it.

Unfold the flag that had turned to powder and stuck together.

“Skulls, knives…” The first thing Chen Wei thought of was pirates.

It is estimated that this place was once pirate territory before it was developed into a tourist island.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Opening the deck, Chen Wei saw piles of gold coins, still gleaming despite being covered in a thick layer of dust, as well as gold and silver artifacts like crowns. He became even more convinced of his idea.

An electric eel indirectly brought Chen Wei billions of dollars in wealth.

Jump down.

The ship's walls are adorned with numerous exquisite portraits, all created by renowned artists who remain famous to this day, and are at least several hundred years old.

Chen Wei needs to correct this: it's not billions, but tens of billions of dollars in wealth!

"Pirate ships, Paradise Island, paintings by famous artists..."

Chen Wei recalled a report he had read before. If he remembered correctly, this ship should be the Black Skull, the number one pirate group that dominated the South China Sea and caused headaches for countless countries, dating back 350 years.

At its peak, the Black Skull had more than 3,000 members. Because of their expertise in naval warfare, countless countries were unable to deal with them.

However, in the end, due to the unequal distribution of spoils, internal strife broke out, and multiple countries took the opportunity to join forces to attack and annihilate the Black Skull.

But strangely, they didn't find anything of value on the island—not a single thing.

The pirate captain, the only one who knew the location of the treasure, was also killed by his trusted confidant during an internal conflict, and from then on, the pirate treasure became a legend...

"I guess this is what they mean by planting trees for future generations to enjoy the shade?" Chen Wei could imagine the sensation that would be caused when the treasure on this ship was made public.

This was once a fortune that rivaled that of a nation, and even today it should not be underestimated.

Chen Wei certainly couldn't salvage all of this by himself, so he only took one gold coin as proof.

"Why haven't I seen my brother?" Su Yumeng asked in confusion.

“He’s swimming over there,” Su Mengdie replied.

"If you're going to swim, then swim! Why are you running so erratically... Ah!" Suddenly, Su Yumeng's face turned ashen.

"What's wrong?" Su Mengdie asked worriedly from the side.

"Yes, someone is grabbing my feet!" Su Yumeng exclaimed in fear.

Su Mengdie tilted her head to look down, somewhat amused and exasperated. "Xiao Wei, don't scare her. What if you frighten her into something bad happening?"

Chen Wei let go of her hand and poked his head out. "Sis, what did you say? I didn't hear you clearly."

"I told you not to scare her."

"Chen Wei, how could you be so mean! I thought it was... I hate you so much!" Su Yumeng raised her hand and slapped Chen Wei across the face.

Looking at the bright red handprint on his chest, Chen Wei regretted it.

"Does it hurt?" Su Qingyue asked with concern when she saw Chen Wei walking over with a handprint on his chest.

"It doesn't hurt." Chen Wei shook his head. "Sis, I want to tell you something."

"What's going on? Why are you being so mysterious?" Su Qingyue asked curiously.

Immediately, Chen Wei stretched out his hand, his five fingers spread, and a glittering gold coin lay in his palm.
