Treasure Hunt all over the World

The escudo is a unit of currency, which means 'shield' in Spanish and Portuguese. Except in Europe, the overseas colonies of these two countries also use this currency unit.

This currency unit includes both paper money and coins. Hundreds of years before paper money became popular, coins were mainly used, among which gold coins were the most valuable!

What appeared in Ye Tian's eyes at this moment was a Spanish escudo gold coin minted in the sixteenth century, and it was a very rare royal figure-eight escudo.

There are a total of six such gold coins, piled together with more than twenty other gold and silver coins, and scattered next to a skull that has been soaked in sea water until it is pale. They should belong to the deceased's private property.

Compared with other gold and silver coins with a diameter of about two or three centimeters, the royal escudo gold coin is almost twice as large, which is very conspicuous!

And the bright orange glow that radiates from these coins is a very accurate indication of their age.

This is indeed an escudo coin minted in the late sixteenth century, there is no doubt about it!

As far as Ye Tian knows, there are only a dozen or so Spanish royal escudo gold coins left in the world, most of which are collected in major museums, and the number circulating in the antique market is very small.

In the eyes of antique coin collectors, this kind of escudo gold coin is definitely a top collectible, and each one is worth a lot of money.

Whenever Spanish royal figure-eight escudo gold coins appear in the antique market, it will definitely cause quite a stir, and many ancient coin collectors will definitely come in droves!

Based on the current market conditions, the value of these gold coins should be between 3 million and 5 million U.S. dollars. If they are put up for auction, they may fetch a higher price, which is considered a considerable fortune!

Because of this, Ye Tian was so excited after discovering these eight-shaped escudo gold coins.

With these few rare antique gold coins as the basis, this deep sea exploration operation has already made a solid profit!

Any further discoveries after that are all rewards!

After looking at these escudo gold coins again, Ye Tian looked away.

In other places in the cabin, he also found some gold and silver coins, which were quite a lot, but he never found any royal escudo gold coins in the shape of eight, which were generally of little value!

After he quickly scanned the cabin,

When turning to the next cabin, Peake also manipulated the submarine to move a little to the side, shined a searchlight on another hole, and began to investigate the situation inside.

This is a cargo hold. Looking in through the hole, everyone only saw a few boxes and some bones, and nothing else.

What was in those boxes near the hole? What else remained in the darkened parts of the cabin is unknown.

But under Ye Tian's perspective, there is no secret in this cabin, and he can see clearly what is in those boxes.

There are a lot of boxes in this cabin, dozens of them, scattered on the deck, very messy!

Through perspective, Ye Tian found that some of the boxes were already empty, without anything.

But there are also goods in some boxes, including bones of different lengths, and some huge tortoise shells, there are quite a few!

Seeing these things, Ye Tian immediately understood what the purpose of this cargo hold was, and what was in those boxes.

This is a cargo hold for food, and those bones are the bones of animals used for food! Also includes tortoise shells that vary in size.

In the era of sailing, in order to solve the food problem during the long-distance voyage at sea, the Spanish navy and pirates both used tortoises as one of their food.

The reason why tortoises are chosen is because tortoises can survive for a long time without eating or drinking, and can provide people in the vast ocean with fresh meat without rotting and spoiling!

Every time the Spanish Navy and Pirates of the Caribbean set out on a long voyage, they would basically catch some live tortoises on board as food reserves.

Among the tortoises that are used as food, the famous Galapagos tortoise is included!

Under the wanton capture and killing of Spanish colonists and pirates, this giant tortoise, which was originally a large number, was almost eaten to extinction. Now it is an extremely endangered species and urgently needs protection!

And the Spanish warship that sank in the depths of the Caribbean Sea in front of him obviously feeds on tortoises, so there are so many tortoise shells here.

The fate of these tortoises was the same as that of the corpses seen before, and they must have died very painfully.

When they only drink fresh water and sink to the bottom of the sea, they can only die slowly in pain and despair, with no hope of escape at all.

Next, their carcasses will gradually rot in the box and become food for microorganisms in the ocean, leaving only a turtle shell in the box.

It only took two or three seconds, Ye Tian scanned the entire cargo compartment, and had a clear understanding of its internal conditions, without missing a single thing!

Immediately afterwards, he moved his gaze forward and began to see through another cabin in front.

And the two searchlights in front of the submarine still illuminate the hole on the right side of the hull, and the two powerful beams of light are extremely dazzling in the deep sea.

The other three people in the cockpit were also busy, and everyone was very excited, with their eyes shining brightly.

Peake is using a high-definition camera to shoot the situation in the hole for later analysis, while the two Hollywood stars are staring at the hole ahead, expecting to find surprising content.

Just as Ye Tian looked into another cabin and was about to start to investigate, a few strange visitors suddenly broke into his vision!

These are a few rays, big and small, the big ones are more than three meters long, and the small ones are only fifty or sixty centimeters. They look like a traveling family.

At this time, they are gently flapping their pectoral fins, gliding from the stern of the St. Anthony, like a group of gliders deep under the sea, their posture is very elegant and beautiful!

And their advancing target is this small sightseeing submarine that constantly emits strong light.

For them, this is probably the first time they have seen this kind of glowing monster on the bottom of the sea, so they are naturally very curious and want to come and see what happened.

With the appearance of these deep-sea gliders, there was an exclamation of excitement in the glass cockpit.

"Wow! Manta Rays! Didn't expect to see them, how lucky!"

"The swimming posture of these guys is so beautiful that they deserve the reputation of water gliders!"

While admiring, the two Hollywood stars held up their mobile phones to take pictures of this group of rays. Both of them were beaming with excitement!

Ye Tian also withdrew his gaze, temporarily stopped his perspective, and turned around to admire the gliding visitors from the deep sea.

After looking carefully, he smiled and said:

"Johnny, this is not a stingray, but a stingray. The stingray we are talking about refers to the stingray. The stingray lives in shallow water, usually within 100 meters of water, and its body is smaller!

The ray is different. It can be seen from the surface waters to the deep sea of ​​two or three kilometers. Its size is also larger. The largest ray can reach more than 8 meters in length, which is definitely a giant.

These two types of sea fish are very similar in shape, and many people will confuse them. If you observe carefully, you can still find the difference between the two, especially the face of the ray, which is very distinctive.

Stingrays can be called devil rays, and rays can be called ghost fish. When these rays fly to the top of the submarine, you can put down the seat to observe, and you will see a ghost face! "

"Wow! There is such a difference. To be honest, I didn't know it before. This time I can take a closer look!"

Orlando exclaimed, his eyes fixed on the flying ray, and he became even more curious.

So did Johnny and Peake, admiring the approaching shoal of rays.

While talking, the ray shoal had already flown obliquely above the submarine, only two or three meters away from the roof of the transparent glass cockpit, and every move was very clear.

And their ghostly and strange faces were clearly presented in front of everyone.

"Snapped!"

The four people in the submarine cockpit put down their seats at the same time and began to lie down and admire the flying fish in the sea.

The next moment, the exclamation sounded again immediately.

"My God! These are really a group of ghosts!"
