"Stephen, get out of the way! This is a stingray. Don't offend it, especially stay away from its tail. The steak knife-like stinger on its tail is very sharp and extremely deadly! Be careful!"
Mattis warned quickly, and at the same time quickly stepped aside to make way for the window.
Without his reminder, Ye Tian also recognized the guy swimming towards the window.
This is a stingray, commonly known as a stingray. It is about two meters wide and four or five meters long. It glides from the darkness in the cockpit, like a black cloud floating towards this side, with a sinister feeling. The breath!
Especially its human-like face with a weird smile, it’s so creepy to look at that it sends chills down your spine!
Ye Tian's reaction was very fast. The moment he recognized this guy, he immediately dodged to the side without wasting a second!
Not only does this thing look scary, it is indeed a famous killer in the ocean, a very dangerous animal.
There is a venomous stinger about 20 centimeters long at the end of the stingray's tail. The edge is serrated and very sharp!
As a close relative of sharks, stingray stingers are made of the same material as shark scales. When they feel threatened, the stingray's serrated sting will harden, just like a sharp steak knife!
Not only is its stinger extremely sharp, but it also releases a protein-based toxin, which is extremely deadly!
Although this guy usually does not attack humans, if it is angered, it is a very deadly ocean killer. Incidents of stingray killings have been reported from time to time in recent years, and it is not uncommon!
The most famous case occurred in 2006. The famous "Crocodile Hunter" Steve Irwin was stabbed in the heart by a stingray and unfortunately died of poison! This certainly enhances the stingray's dangerous reputation.
In the list of the ten most dangerous animals under the sea published by relevant agencies, stingrays rank eighth, even above famous ocean killers such as great white sharks and bull sharks!
That’s why Ye Tian and Matisse became pale when they saw this thing.
No one wants to face this extremely dangerous ocean killer unless they have to, and the two of them are no exception!
They dodged very quickly, quickly moved away from the window, and retreated one or two meters away.
Immediately afterwards, this stingray with a weird smile flew out of the huge window of the cockpit, gently flapped its wings, and glided forward, completely ignoring the two black guys near the window.
Ye Tian and the others have been watching the movements of this stingray, especially the sharp and deadly stinger, without even daring to blink!
It wasn't until the stingray flew into the distance and completely disappeared from their sight that the two of them took a deep breath and relaxed.
“This thing looks so scary! It gives me nightmares just looking at it, it’s really a ghost in the sea!”
Ye Tian said with emotion and returned to the window position.
“Not only do stingrays look scary, they are also veritable killers in the sea, assassins who run around with poisonous stings. You can’t afford to mess with them!”
Matisse also sighed with emotion and swam back.
After returning to the window, they once again used the searchlight on the front of the submersible thruster to scan the situation inside the cockpit.
It’s better this time, no more frightening ocean killer appeared, and nothing else was found in the cockpit except sea water!
It seems that this is the nest of the stingray just now, and all other sea creatures are refused entry.
This situation is completely normal. When an extremely dangerous stingray is entrenched here, other marine creatures will probably shy away and stay far away to avoid unexpected events!
Even if the fierce great white shark comes here, it is probably not willing to intrude into the territory of this close relative, otherwise it will be really uncertain who will win!
After inspecting the situation in the cockpit, Mattis immediately said:
"Steven, please remove the submersible thruster. The space inside is limited and there are many obstacles. It is inconvenient to move in with the submersible thruster, but it is a burden!
We hang the diving thruster outside and swim in, which makes it more comfortable. If we encounter other creatures, we can respond flexibly. When we come out from inside, we can hang up the thruster again.
One thing must be reminded in advance. Although this cargo ship is not small, we do not know the internal situation. There are many cabins inside, so it is not advisable to dive too deep, otherwise you may get lost inside! "
"Understood, Matisse, I know what to do, let's go in!"
Ye Tian nodded in response, very confident.
Although there are many cabins in the cargo ship, with the help of clairvoyance, he does not need to explore each cabin one by one. He only needs to go to the door of the cabin to see through.
For him, as long as it is within twenty-five meters, there are no secrets, even if there are layers of metal decks and bulkheads!
Even if he goes deep into the cargo ship, he can find a suitable escape passage as quickly as possible and get out quickly. There is no way he will be trapped in the cabin!
Next, he immediately opened the quick-release buckle on his belt that connected the diving propeller and hung it on the railing outside the cockpit. It was very safe!
Unless sea creatures know how to undo the quick release buckle, it is impossible to lose the diving propeller here!
Mattis next to him was also doing the same action, quickly removing the diving thruster and getting ready to enter the cargo ship.
Then, Ye Tian reached out and turned on the bright flashlights tied to his left and right forearms, turned around and said with a chuckle:
"Let's go, Matisse, let's go see what else is in this cargo ship? Can we find any dazzling treasures?"
After saying that, he grabbed the edge of the window with his right hand, and with a little force, he immediately jumped into the cockpit, as agile as a swimming fish, and his movements were very stretched and easy!
Mattis next to him swung his legs alternately a few times, and used the huge flippers on his feet to swim into the cockpit of the cargo ship.
Entering here, the light suddenly became much darker, and the visibility dropped sharply to less than ten meters!
But under the illumination of several strong flashlights, Ye Tian and Matisse's vision was very clear without any obstruction.
They all tied underwater flashlights to their arms, so that wherever their arms pointed, the strong light projected by the flashlights would point, and their eyes would move accordingly!
This not only saves trouble, but also frees up their hands, which greatly facilitates their movements. It feels like they can use their fingers with their arms!
After entering the cockpit, they swam directly to the bridge, grabbed the steering wheel to steady themselves, then used flashlights to shine around and began to observe the situation here.
Under the strong light of the flashlight, they quickly had a general understanding of the cockpit!
The cockpit is medium in size, about forty to fifty square meters, with three glass windows and one wall.
When the cargo ship sank, all the glass windows were shattered by the pressure of the sea water, and not even a complete window could be seen!
There is a door on both sides of the back wall. Behind the door should be stairs leading downstairs and to the stern of the ship. There is a spiral staircase not far from the bridge that leads directly to the next deck.
The cockpit was in a mess. Anything that was not fixed had slid towards the windows and bulkheads on the side facing the seabed. More things should have fallen into the sea.
If you are looking for it, you can probably still find it! In all likelihood, it's on the ocean floor below!
Ye Tian and the others found no human skeletons here, but judging from the messy and unusual scene, it was impossible that no one had died here before and after the shipwreck!
The reason why those skeletons are not here is that they either fell out of the broken window and landed somewhere unknown, or they were swallowed whole by some sea beasts and became their delicacies!
Although the bridge is very messy, all the instruments and equipment are available, but the corrosion is serious and it has long been turned into a pile of scrap metal!
After looking around, Ye Tian and the others did not find the reason for the sinking of the cargo ship, nor did they find relevant evidence. There were no bullet holes on the bridge and the rear bulkhead, and there were no signs of a pirate attack.
The situation in the cockpit is generally the same, lackluster, and does not seem to have much exploration value!
Just when Ye Tian retracted his gaze and was about to let go of the steering wheel and swim forward to investigate carefully, Matisse next to him suddenly spoke:
"Steven, look over there at the bulkhead. There seem to be two safes under the iron cabinet. I wonder what's inside?"
Hearing this, Ye Tian immediately turned his head and looked in the direction of Matisse's finger.
Under the light, you can clearly see that there is a row of iron cabinets used to store documents or other things on the bulkhead. The cabinet doors can be opened and closed. It is very messy!
Under one of the iron cabinets, you can see through the half-open cabinet door that there is something else behind the cabinet door. They are two blue-grey safes. They are not big in size, but they look quite thick and strong!
"Hey! What two safes!"
Ye Tian let out a light sigh, and a joyful look flashed in his eyes.
Then he immediately said excitedly:
"Let's go over and take a look, Matisse. If those two safes can still be opened, let's open them here and check. Maybe we will find something!
If they cannot be opened and are not fixed, we can find a way to move them out and then use the decompression stop to bring them to the surface.
After we finish the deep dive exploration, when we get back to the yacht, we can find ways to open these two safes. Even if we don’t find anything, it will still be fun! "
"You're right, Steven, the process of discovering things is also a kind of joy, even more important and interesting than the results!"
Mattis nodded excitedly and obviously agreed with Ye Tian's proposal.
Then the two of them took action and swam straight to the bulkhead. They were both very excited and full of expectations!
