Chapter 759: Top Deck

As the distance continued to close, the outline of the wreck in front of them became clearer and clearer, and Ye Tian and Matisse became more and more excited, and their eyes became brighter and brighter!

In the blink of an eye, they had reached the vicinity of the wreck, and slowly stopped four or five meters away from it.

Subsequently, the two quickly adjusted the buoyancy vests, and then cooperated with the submersible propeller to suspend themselves in the water, and their feet were very close to the bottom of the sea, only about forty or fifty centimeters.

Directly below them was a small patch of white sand, with no protruding rocks, no crustacean benthic marine life, and only the occasional small fish or two swimming by, which didn't look dangerous!

But because of the ancient shipwreck in front of him, no one knows if there is any sharp object hidden under the white sand, so it is better not to land for safety.

The two of them had just stabilized their figures, and before they could take a look at their surroundings, a dozen beautiful red and yellow fish suddenly swam out of the ship, swagging their tail fins and swimming straight towards them.

This is a small group of yellow longitudinal striped lipids, which can be recognized at a glance if one has studied ornamental fish.

Yellow longitudinal striped lipid is a shallow sea-dwelling fish, body length can reach 30 centimeters, fusiform light red fish, distributed with many bright yellow stripes, from head to tail throughout the body, very beautiful!

Apparently, these guys were attracted by the light emitted by the searchlights.

Their appearance successfully attracted the attention of Ye Tian and Matisse, and the two temporarily looked away from the wreck in front of them, admiring this group of beautiful sea fish!

Soon, these guys swam to the front, swimming around Ye Tian and Matisse quickly.

These guys have a strong curiosity about the front end of the thruster and the searchlights on Ye Tian's body, and from time to time they will swim in front of a few searchlights to observe these things that emit strong light.

There were a few yellow stripes of grease that were more lively, flying up and down and chasing quickly around the light emitted by the searchlight, as if trying to catch these bright beams!

Some of the fish swam to the full-face diving goggles and looked at Ye Tian and them curiously in the goggles, not understanding what kind of creatures these strange guys were!

Under the illumination of the light, the movements of these yellow longitudinal stripes appear very smart, elegant, and pleasing to the eye!

After cruising around Ye Tian for a while, and after their curiosity was exhausted, these beautiful fish left and swam towards the bow of the boat!

"The colors of these guys are so bright! Especially in the light, they look particularly charming, and when I get back to New York, I plan to raise a few to play with and use to decorate my life, it must be very interesting!"

Matisse whispered in admiration, his eyes still fixed on the beautiful fish that were fading away.

"Yellow striped grease is indeed a very beautiful ornamental fish, very suitable for keeping at home, it will definitely add a bit of beauty to your life, I also like these guys!"

Ye Tian nodded lightly, and his gaze was also moving with those yellow longitudinal stripes.

It wasn't until the dozen or so beautiful fish disappeared from the bow of the ship that they withdrew their gaze and looked at the shipwreck at the bottom of the sea.

It was indeed a Spanish four-masted galleon, and it was indeed an armed transport, not a warship, and the situation was the same as before, only now it was clearer!

The fifty-meter-long old galleon does not feel anything from a distance, but when you look closer, you immediately find that it is a behemoth, which gives people a shocking feeling!

In particular, the holes on the side of the hull that were smashed by solid shells, as well as the huge cracks and bullet marks of different shades all over the hull, were even more shocking! You can even feel the smoke of gunfire!

"I don't know what this transport ship is carrying, it is actually attacked so frantically! From these dense bullet marks, it can be seen that this transport ship must have been besieged!

The one who could lay siege to a Spanish armed transport ship in the Caribbean was either a large group of pirates or a British fleet that was competing with Spain for supremacy at sea!

But whoever it is, they must have come for the cargo they are carrying, otherwise they will lose more than they gain! What exactly is on this armed transport ship? I am very curious!"

Ye Tian pointed to the devastated hull and said, his eyes full of anticipation.

"So what are you waiting for? Let's start exploring, Steven, I'm so curious that I can't wait to get into the cabin and see what's inside!"

Matisse said excitedly, with an eager expression.

"Okay, Matisse, let's first find out the identity of this transport ship, and determine whether it is the Malaga Princess treasure ship, and I believe we can find the exact answer to this in the shipyard!

After searching the ship's building, let's go into the cabin and see what cargo is inside, which has attracted such a crazy siege, I hope it will be a large number of dazzling gold and silver treasures, it will be perfect!"

After speaking, Ye Tian manipulated the diving thruster to swim out and went straight to the seriously damaged three-story building in front of the right.

Matisse followed, his eyes shining with excitement.

In the blink of an eye, they were at their location, suspended in the water in front of the ship's building.

After a quick look at the situation of the shipbuilding, Ye Tian quickly determined the starting point of the search.

"Matisse, let's start from the top deck, search floor by floor, preferably not a single corner, and search this wreck thoroughly!

If there is no treasure in this shipwreck, let's just have some entertainment, and if there is a treasure, even if there is only one gold coin, don't think about leaking it in front of our eyes!"

"Okay! This arrangement is very reasonable, compared to the previous shipwrecks, this shipwreck is obviously more important, and it can't be too serious!"

Matisse nodded in response, and there was no disagreement.

Then, driven by a submersible thruster, the two swam to the top deck of the ship.

The uppermost deck of the Galen ship is located at the top of the ship's building, and the area is not large, which can neither be used to carry cargo, nor is it the main position of defensive operations, and its main role is to watch and guard.

As the top deck, it is naturally open-air, and there are not many gun emplacements like other decks.

There were only two gun emplacements here, and the caliber of the guns was very small, just two five-pounder guns, and the range and power were quite limited, not much stronger than the firing muskets!

If a battle breaks out, it is mainly the musketeers who fight on this deck, not the two insignificant five-pounder guns.

Ye Tian and the others quickly swam to this deck and officially began the exploration of this shipwreck.

In fact, there is nothing to explore here, everything is clear at a glance and can be seen clearly.

Like the rest of the shipwreck, this deck is covered with a lot of coral, layered on top of each other, of all ages!

Again, it was under heavy attack.

There are several gaps on the side of the ship, and at first glance they have been smashed by solid shells, and the sturdy solid wood railings have already been smashed in all directions, and they are about to fall apart!

The gun emplacements on both sides of the ship were empty, and the two five-pounder guns that had been placed there had long since lost their sights!

As for what they found on this deck, Ye Tian didn't have much hope at all.

The reason why they swam here is not only to see the situation, but also to leave the submersible thrusters here to facilitate their next actions.

With a quick glance, Ye Tian completely grasped the situation here, and there was no value in exploration!

Then he raised his hand and pointed to the railing on the side of the ship and said:

"Mattis, let's leave the submersible thrusters here, the space in the cabin is too small, and carrying the thrusters will not only not help, but will be a burden!

With that, he unfastened the quick-release latch attached to the submersible thruster on his waist and tied it to the railing on the side of the ship.

"Okay!"

Matisse replied and did the same.

After unloading the submersible propulsion one after another, the two of them left the top deck and swam to the second deck of the ship, ready to explore there!
