Capítulo 2080: What Woman Can Stand That?
Ye Feng hurriedly plunged into the mound of waste, shoving away successive strata of debris and grit.
His gaze sparkled once more in that instant.
For beneath those accumulated layers of refuse and earth, he uncovered something remarkable.
Beneath the long-settled heaps of trash from ages ago, remnants of massive timber beams showed signs of heavy corrosion. Mixed in were fragments of shattered porcelain, agate, and glassware, as well as faded parchment scrolls, tattered garments, and metallic components eroded to the point of being utterly unrecognizable.
Clearly, the valuable finds from his profound treasure search had ended up here by no mere chance. Millennia back, a vessel laden with cargo must have met disaster close by, with its splintered remains and onboard goods swept ashore by relentless tides.
The buried mounds of junk amid the sand and rocks fully backed up Ye Feng's theory.
Regrettably, the ravages of the wreck, endless years, and salty ocean waves had rendered most of those objects into mere valueless scraps.
Ye Feng sifted through the sandy mess for some time until he unearthed his initial prize of worth.
It turned out to be a pearl as large as an infant's clenched fist.
This orb remained flawless and radiated an incomparable luster.
Though it didn't quite match the breathtaking allure of the Pearl of Asia's gem, it stood as an extraordinary rarity. Ye Feng figured its value easily hit thirty to forty million.
Should he enlist a skilled craftsman to craft and shape it into something special, it could fetch hundreds of millions at auction.
“It’s quite perfect.”
Ye Feng felt immense satisfaction. He rinsed the clinging sand and pebbles from the pearl, tucked it away safely, then set off to excavate the next spot indicated for hidden riches.
The treasure detection feature revealed an exceptionally fine imperial green jade bangle concealed in this location.
Yet, this item lay buried quite deeply, no less than two meters below the refuse heap and shoreline.
Despite Ye Feng's formidable physical prowess, it took him almost half an hour of relentless digging to finally retrieve it.
As he pulled that object free, Ye Feng couldn't hide his mild astonishment.
For the wooden case holding the jade bangle had endured unscathed through countless years of exposure to corrosive seawater.
Furthermore, the box sealed itself perfectly airtight. Not only did the imperial jade stay pristine and fresh, but the satin lining beneath the bracelet retained its dryness and vivid sheen.
Had Ye Feng not extracted it with his own hands, it would be unimaginable that such an item had lain drenched in damp sand for centuries.
After placing the wooden case and the imperial jade into his basket, Ye Feng prepared to trigger the treasure detection once more to check for additional valuables nearby, when Zhuang Xiaoqiao's voice rang out from behind. “What are you doing?”
It was Zhuang Xiaoqiao approaching.
Ye Feng swiftly employed Deep Treasure Hunt to scan the waste pile. Once assured no other treasures lurked there, he grinned and strode toward Zhuang Xiaoqiao. “I’m searching for the concealed treasures around this spot.”
“Isn’t this just a dump of garbage? Where could treasure be?” Zhuang Xiaoqiao eyed him with some doubt.
“Why not ponder how this garbage dump came to be?” Ye Feng offered a knowing smile.
Zhuang Xiaoqiao glanced at the trash mound and the ceaseless waves depositing more sea debris. Suddenly, realization dawned in her eyes. “I get it now. This serves as the collection spot for ocean refuse carried in by the currents. Any junk that drifts into the surrounding waters, even lost treasures, ends up right here!”
With that, she turned to Ye Feng with sparkling excitement. “Did you actually discover treasure in this place?”
Ye Feng pulled out the large pearl he'd just excavated from his pocket and handed it over. “Doesn't it look gorgeous?”
Zhuang Xiaoqiao froze for a second. Then, she let out a gasp and eagerly seized the pearl to examine it up close.
“Is this the treasure you unearthed just now? This pearl is incredibly stunning. It almost seems too perfect to be real.”
Zhuang Xiaoqiao cherished it immensely. As she gazed at it, her expression suggested she'd love to embed it straight into her soul.
Ye Feng chuckled at the sight. “I'll gift it to you, as a farewell token.”
Zhuang Xiaoqiao went still upon hearing those words. When she lifted her head once more, tears glistened in her eyes.
