A stunning mermaid dressed in the 1980s, the whole family lined up to pamper her endlessly.

Chapter 448 The Giant Skeleton in the Trench
"You're finally back."

Ying Chengye saw Yun Jiao breathe a sigh of relief.

"what's wrong?"

Ying Chengye: "What do you think? That black horse doesn't listen to me at all, and it's a huge struggle to get it out for a walk."

"Also, a huge snake came to the lake the day before yesterday. I only dared to look at it from a distance and didn't dare to go near it."

Ying Chengye still clicks his tongue when he thinks about that snake; it was as thick as his leg.

"It's still white."

Yun Jiao suddenly remembered that she had seen a white snake on this island before. Could it be that one?

Ying Chengye wasn't afraid of the wild animals, but he didn't dare get too close.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but glance at Yun Jiao with a complicated expression.

My junior sister is truly capable.

However, if he had that kind of strength, he would also be bold and capable.

The houses on the island are small villas with a touch of modern Chinese style, and they also have hidden basements.

That basement was Yun Jiao's treasure trove.

A passage needs to be opened through a mechanism in the master bedroom. There are also some mechanisms inside the passage, and the door will close automatically after you go in. Only the person with the key can open the door from the inside.

Moreover, the key was on Yun Jiao's neck; it was a dark jade pendant.

This is the old black jade that Master Mu kept; he used it all for her.

However, Yun Jiao compensated Old Mu with an even bigger piece.

That's right, it's the one she won by gambling on stones.

Yun Jiao arrived at her treasure room.

It has lights that can be turned on, and they are incandescent bulbs. Their designs are also much more complex and attractive than the light bulbs we have at home.

The treasure room suddenly lit up, and the treasures on the display shelves were fully revealed to be beautiful.

Gemstones that refract various colors under the light, and pearls piled up inside the giant clam shell.

She piled all the pearls salvaged from the shipwreck into giant clam shells. With so many pearls together, they seemed to shimmer with pearly light.

There were also various kinds of jade, among which the pink one was the most dazzling.

And those beautiful clothes, porcelain...

Yun Jiao was very satisfied after walking around.

However, I'm not entirely satisfied with the pearls.

Most of the pearls salvaged from shipwrecks are white; other colors are rare.

Yun Jiao wanted pearls of all colors.

I'll find mother-of-pearl shells myself another day and open them myself.

However, they basically don't have mother-of-pearl here, but they do have giant clams, and even those giant clam pearls are white.

When I get back, I'll look up where pearl oysters are found and go for a stroll.

After leaving the treasure vault, Yun Jiao saw her third senior brother off, and then she took a stroll in the sea.

This time, she came to the site of the shipwreck alone.

Most of the items inside the shipwreck have been salvaged. What couldn't be kept was handed over to the state, and she kept a lot of what she could keep for herself, gave some to her family, and sold some.

She swam around the shipwreck twice, then looked at the bottomless trench in the distance.

I'm a little eager to try something adventurous.

I wonder if that giant octopus is still there.

As Yun Jiao thought this, she had already arrived at the top of the trench.

The deep sea was very quiet, the surrounding colors were dark, and it stretched to the horizon.

Even if a person could descend to this depth, they would be surrounded by an extreme sense of loneliness in the sea.

Not to mention standing above this bottomless trench.

Yun Jiao looked like a speck of dust against the backdrop of the trench. When she looked down for a long time, it seemed as if one or more giant beasts were hiding in the bottomless trench.

They are staring at you too.

Those with a weaker constitution won't last long and will want to leave.

Yun Jiao is a bold person.

She used to kill giant beasts in her past life, so she's not afraid of any giant beasts.

If we can't beat them now, we can just run away.

So Yun Jiao swam toward the trench.

This trench looks tiny compared to the rest of the ocean.

But for Yun Jiao, it was enormous.

The further you go, the darker the surrounding environment becomes, and the stranger the marine life becomes.

For example, she saw a fish with a tiny light bulb on its forehead, and it looked incredibly sloppy.

It's the kind of meat that looks disgusting and doesn't taste good.

I haven't tried it to know what it tastes like.

She was even thinking about whether she should catch one when she went back.

As I continued downwards, suddenly a deep red, snake-like creature attacked me.

Yun Jiao quickly dodged.

But then something dark red reached out and grabbed at them.

Upon closer inspection, they turned out to be very thick octopus tentacles.

"Giant octopus."

Yun Jiao followed the tentacles and saw an octopus even larger than the one she had caught before.

Yun Jiao wanted to explore deeper into the world; she didn't have time to fight with it here.

So when the octopus stretched out its tentacles to attack her again, she darted left and right, sometimes even pulling on its tentacles as she darted around.

When she left, the giant octopus's tentacles were already tangled up.

"Bye-bye, I'll come back to find you if I don't find anything good down there."

After saying that, he darted down and disappeared.

The giant octopus finally managed to untangle its tentacles, and angrily brandished its claws, grabbing any unlucky fish nearby.

Yun Jiao didn't know how long she swam downstream, but she finally reached the bottom of the trench.

It was completely dark here, and you couldn't even see any fish. Deep-sea fish don't come this deep, let alone humans.

Yun Jiao has special eyes; she can see things clearly even in complete darkness.

For example, the grotesque, enormous skeletons on the cliffs of the trench.

There were also skeletons at the bottom of the trench, much larger than what modern marine life would expect.

Even the largest humpback whale she had ever seen was nothing compared to these skeletons.

The skeletons embedded in the stone wall are clearly visible; these are obviously ancient creatures.

It was somewhat similar to the giant sea monsters she had encountered in her previous life.

Yun Jiao swam to the seabed and circled around a huge skeleton that was about three meters tall when it was open.

This is just the skeleton of an open mouth.

Those teeth, any one of them was bigger than her palm.

She stroked her chin, wondering if this bone could be sold for money.

Why don't you take it back and try it?
Apart from the skeleton around the mouth, the other bones are scattered around.

There are many skeletons at the bottom of the trench, as well as various bones embedded in the rock walls. I wonder if they can be pieced together to form a complete skeleton.

The skeleton is heavy and fragmented.

Yun Jiao was carrying a net, but she could only pick up the smaller pieces of bone; the larger ones couldn't fit inside.

Let's pick up the smaller ones first.

After putting some small pieces in, Yun Jiao then lifted the ring of bones around the mouth and swam upwards.

We'll do the rest another day.

She was determined to collect a complete set of bones.

Carrying the things they retrieved from the trench, they didn't head towards the giant octopus's territory.

I'm afraid that guy will go crazy and break her bones.

Yun Jiao didn't return to the village with the large skeleton; instead, she went to her own island.

Bringing it back to the village now would definitely cause quite a stir, and there's nowhere to put it.

It's not safe to put it anywhere.

She couldn't guarantee that no one else shared her opinion that these bones could be sold for money.

We can't keep staring at it forever.

Let's bring the rest of the bones up from the island first.

So for the rest of the time, Yun Jiao would run to the sea as soon as she got out of school.

I go to my master's place to study on Saturdays and Sundays.

It wasn't until half a month later that he managed to retrieve what he thought might be the bones of this big guy.

However, this remains to be verified.

Even assembling the bones is a challenge.

It's too difficult for her to do it alone; she should go find her third senior brother.

The third senior brother specializes in treating animal diseases and naturally has a good understanding of animal skeletons, so it's the perfect person to consult.

Hmm, let's invite Fourth Brother too, and Father and the others can come as well.

"What's all this mysterious stuff about?"

Ying Chengye was curious. He hadn’t been to the island for less than a month. What had his junior sister gotten up to now?

Yun Jiao: "It's a secret, you'll find out soon enough."

Yunlin Hai took them to the island in his boat.

Then everyone was stunned by the bones on the open beach.

"My mother!"

Everyone stood on the boat, staring in disbelief at the bones.

The most eye-catching feature is, of course, its large mouth.

"What...what kind of monster's bones are these?"

Am I seeing things?

Yun Jiao was the first to jump off the boat: "Let's all go up and take a look."

Upon hearing this, everyone realized what was happening and quickly went ashore.

Yun Chenbei remained silent, only taking pictures of the bones.

Everyone else ran over and stood in front of the huge bone to compare it.

"It must be at least three meters tall, right?"

"My goodness, what kind of animal bone is this? It's bigger than a humpback whale's."

Ying Chengye said, "More than that, it should be even bigger than a blue whale. These teeth... look like a shark's."

"What kind of shark is that big?"

"If there were something that big in the sea, our ship wouldn't even be enough for it to take a bite."

"Jiaojiao, where did you get this?"

Yun Linhai and the others became frightened as they watched.

You have to understand that they all fish in the sea. If these things still existed now, they wouldn't have a chance to escape once they saw them; they would just have to wait to die.

Yun Jiao: "In the deep trench, where are there any other bones? Some are even embedded in the rock walls."

Ying Chengye knew more: "This should be an ancient creature. Our country discovered a complete dinosaur fossil in 38. This thing should also be from the dinosaur era, but it lived in the water."

Yun Linhai quickly asked, "So there aren't any of these anymore, right?"

"They should all be extinct. Those fossilized skeletons embedded in the rock face were probably caused by crustal movement."

"Something this big wouldn't survive until now; if it really existed, it would have been discovered by now."

Upon hearing this, Yunlin Hai and Yunlin He both breathed a sigh of relief.

If this thing still exists, it's terrifying; who would dare go out to sea?

Ying Chengye was particularly interested in these bones.

"Jiaojiao, did you call me here to put the bones back together?"

Yun Jiao nodded: "Yes, I want to piece together a complete skeleton. It must be spectacular. I wonder if it can be sold for money."

Ying Chengye: "Definitely!"

There must be quite a few people who want to collect this.
