Chapter 85: Huge Harvest!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The moment the hatch was opened, the indescribable, rotten smell almost sent the electric eel away!

Even Chu Lingjun could not help but retch. He quickly cut off the sense of smell and taste and gathered himself.

After the hatch was destroyed, in the dark and depressing shipwreck, the river water rolled in, and a rotten human corpse that was almost white in color floated to the electric eel.

This scene was like a terrifying scene from a movie. It made people’s hair stand on end and their scalps go numb!

There were dozens of similar human corpses in the living room. It was a shocking sight!

However, although they were all human corpses, the degree of decay was completely different.

After a martial artist’s body went through cultivation, his physical body would gradually become stronger. Therefore, after death, the time it would take for it to rot would also be longer.

This was why some of them were still intact.

The Rank One martial artists who had low cultivation had only bones.

As for the Rank Two martial artists, they still had some flesh left. A large number of maggots were wriggling their bodies excitedly, crawling around the minced meat.

Chu Lingjun endured the discomfort in his heart. Under the cover of the Electric Field domain, he found two slightly decomposed corpses.

The corpse on the left was a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties. He was burly and had his beard intact! He had a square face. From his appearance, he looked similar to Wu Zheng.

This person must have been Wu Zheng’s father, Wu Daonan, the captain of the sunken ship!

The body on the right was a divine blood warrior!

The divine blood man had the head of a human, but below the neck was the body of a muscular gorilla covered in black hair.

If a divine blood warrior died in a half-human, half-beast state, the transformation state would not be removed.

The stronger he was, the more stable his transformation would be.

He wouldn’t be like Zhang Liang, who couldn’t maintain his transformation state after receiving a heavy blow.

Of course, this was also because Zhang Liang had just become a divine blood warrior and was not very familiar with the power.

The two corpses were stuck together.

Their bodies were covered with all kinds of battle marks, such as knife marks, sword marks, claw marks, scratches, bruises, and so on.

A large number of parts of their bodies were badly mutilated, and some of their bodies were even missing pieces of flesh. It was a shocking sight.

However, the final fatal wound shown was Captain Wu Daonan’s long sword stabbed into the heart of the divine blood warrior.

At the same time, the divine blood gorilla also stabbed its iron claws into Wu Daonan’s chest!

The two of them perished together in a very bloody, cruel, and unyielding manner!

Using the Electric Field, Chu Lingjun repeatedly looked at all the details in the cargo ship’s living room several times. He now had a rough idea of the ship’s layout.

First of all, there were two groups of people on the cargo ship.

According to the information gained, the cargo ships under the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce usually had about 20 crew members, but there were nearly 40 crew members here.

From the clothes and decorations on their bodies and the traces of the battle, it could be seen that the two parties first fired at each other, and then engaged in

close cornoac.

One was the crew, while the other group was obviously the divine blood warriors.

Thinking of this, Chu Lingjun frowned and thought of something. He immediately let the electric eel clone return to the hole at the bottom of the cargo ship.

The details that he hadn’t noticed before immediately became very eye-catching at this moment!

First of all, there was a hole at the bottom of the cargo ship. This hole was blasted from the inside to the outside.

From the edge of the explosion and the traces around it, it could be seen that the hole was caused by explosives!

Chu Lingjun immediately came up with a hypothesis!

The captain must have been caught off guard and suddenly robbed by the divine blood warriors. When he realized that the enemy was too powerful, he chose to die rather than live in shame.

He ignited the explosives at the bottom of the ship, sank the merchant ship, and then died together with the enemy!

What a tough man!

Chu Lingjun instantly felt a great respect for this captain!

Chu Lingjun let the electric eel clone continue to search the cargo ship. Soon, in the center of the cargo ship, the electric eel clone found a cargo hold with an extremely hard hatch.

The electric eel tried to reach out its claws to cut the hatch, but it only left a shallow mark and could not cause any more damage.

Although his claws were unable to break through the door, Chu Lingjun was not angry. Instead, he was delighted!

This meant that the things in the cargo hold were well protected. It also meant that there was something valuable stored in the cargo hold. Otherwise, there was no need to build a hatch so thick!

The electric eel clone quickly returned to the cargo ship and searched Captain Wu Daonan’s body. Soon, Chu Lingjun’s eyes lit up. He found a key near the captain’s chest!

Chu Lingjun was overjoyed and quickly let the electric eel clone return to the cargo with the key in its mouth.

The electric eel’s iron claws were too thick, and it was very clumsy to hold the key and insert it into the cargo door. However, after several attempts, it finally succeeded in opening it.

Chu Lingjun breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the electric eel clone had evolved claws last week. Otherwise, he would have entered a treasure mountain and returned empty-handed!

With a dull click, the electric eel pushed gently, and the thick hatch opened on both sides.

When Chu Lingjun saw that the left and right hatches were nearly half a meter thick and were made of some kind of hard alloy, Chu Lingjun’s brows twitched!

A half-meter-thick alloy door meant that even a Level Three exotic beast or Rank Three martial artist would not be able to break it open with brute force!

However, Chu Lingjun didn’t have the time to lament about this. When the hatch opened, Chu Lingjun’s pupils constricted. His heart almost forgot to beat as he looked at the goods in the cargo hold.

Although the door was open, Wu Daonan and the others seemed to have taken into consideration the issue of water resistance. Not long after the door opened, a faint golden barrier appeared.

This layer of protective array blocked the river water from flowing into this place.

Chu Lingjun saw all kinds of goods in the cargo hold. There were all kinds of precious wood, stone, heavenly materials, and earthly treasures, as well as some exotic beast fur, claws, and teeth.

In the middle of the cargo hold, the most eye-catching thing was a crimson, fist-sized Sun Fruit that looked like red beads.

These Sun Fruits were first wrapped in vacuum bags, then put into waterproof bags, and then put into a wooden box fixed on the floor.

The outside of the box was engraved with a flame pattern that could emit hot wind to ensure that the wooden box was dry.

As expected of the captain!

Chu Lingjun’s heart was beating violently, and his mouth turned dry!

For a captain like Wu Daonan who was experienced in river navigation, the probability of him considering the issue of water seeping into this cargo box was very high!

A heavenly treasure like the Sun Fruit was very afraid of water!

Even if they did not really come into contact with water, the cargo ship had been sailing on the river for many days. It would eventually turn damp and cold, and it was very easy to damage the goods, or reduce the quality of the Sun Fruit!

Chu Lingjun swept his gaze across the room, and his breathing quickened!

Every ten Sun Fruits were stored in an exquisite wooden box engraved with spirit runes.

There were 20 wooden boxes!

That was 200 Sun Fruits in total!

There were about 20 million dollars to be made here!

Chu Lingjun couldn’t help but gasp!

“Holy sh*t, I’m rich!”
