CHAPTER 1505: CHAPTER 717: A THRILLING LEAP_2

The main issue was the length of the seafloor canyon; otherwise, Sean Knight would have been interested in checking out the far end where a large quantity of things might have gathered.

Of course, it was just a thought. Nelson was the type who did only as much as he was paid; he would not volunteer suggestions to the boss.

Looking at the flow of the seafloor canyon towards the open sea, where the ocean was getting deeper, if he told the boss his speculation, the boss might just delegate the task to him. At that point, he could dive to about 500 meters, but no deeper than that—he simply didn’t have the capability!

Even if there were underwater robots, he would still need to assist during the final salvage, which was very dangerous!

Nelson and his teammate had hoisted a section of the boat’s hull and shook the rope; the salvage ship above began to tighten the rope and pull it up.

Nelson sighed; today’s mission was done.

He turned his head and saw someone in the light overhead. A figure?

Who was that?

Nelson remembered clearly, there were only three people on his team, all nearby.

There were two fishing boats above, but none of the people on them could dive this deep, so who was that person...

Nelson shuddered!

He had initially thought it wasn’t a person, but then, as the light flickered, he saw the figure slowly moving toward the seafloor canyon. Compulsively, he followed.

When he got closer, about ten meters away, he realized it indeed was someone in diving gear.

Nelson relaxed; it was a person. He was afraid it might have been something other than human... After many years of diving underwater, he had seen all sorts of bizarre things, so he kind of believed in weird theories.

Seeing the person heading toward the canyon, Nelson hesitated and didn’t stop him. He didn’t know where the person was from and thought it wasn’t necessary to intervene, as his oxygen cylinder was nearly empty and he needed to surface soon.

Sean Knight had intentionally come to the vicinity of the salvage ship’s staff. Actually, the location was less than 200 meters from the submarine. Clearly, if these salvage workers expanded their search area, the location of the submarine would likely be exposed!

So, he must quickly retrieve the submarine!

After circling around near the seafloor canyon, Sean turned and saw that the salvage crew had already come up to the ship.

He moved confidently toward the submarine.

The current was still strong, showing no signs of slowing down. Yesterday, looking at the rapid current, Sean knew it was too dangerous to dive.

But today, he had to dive; otherwise, the "Bronze Dragon" might very well be taken away by others.

Of course, Sean could also try to retrieve the "Bronze Dragon" after someone else took it.

But to be frank, doing so would significantly increase the chances of exposing himself...since currently, only his submarine and several fishing boats were nearby.

He was undoubtedly the most likely suspect.

Sean arrived at the edge of the canyon and, seeing no one around, he approached the location of the submarine.

The submarine had been swept a few meters by the current, but Sean didn’t look closely. "Sky Eye" was turned on, and inside the submarine, the "Bronze Dragon" was still there, radiating a powerful aura under "Sky Eye’s" gaze.

The aura was compelling!

Sean felt that the aura within him lacked just such a powerful force!

He increasingly felt that he must retrieve this "Bronze Dragon"!

The current seemed to be getting stronger.

However, Sean had made up his mind—now it wasn’t about whether to dive but how to do it.

He looked at the space; there was still a substantial vacant spot.

After some thought, he took a length of rope from the space, then found a solid rock nearby, tied the rope to the rock, and secured the other end to himself.

Just jumping down was not an option; he planned to jump down and immediately begin to gather the rushing water into the space.

By gathering as much as possible, the impact of the water could be lessened, and he would then be able to retrieve the submarine with his other hand.

If he acted quickly enough, he could also pull himself up to the canyon’s surface by the rope during the brief window.

Of course, the timing had to be precise; otherwise, it would be easy to get carried away.

Fortunately, Sean was quite confident in his physical ability, as long as he didn’t collide with the submarine when jumping.

This required some calculation, or at least an estimate.

Sean Knight stood on the edge of the canyon, calculating the distance in his mind.

Looking at the quickly flowing water, he found it hard to gauge, so he picked up another stone and threw it down.

The stone was swept away instantly, even further than yesterday.

Sean roughly figured it out in his mind.

He estimated the possibilities again, found the right spot, pondered for a moment, and then began to remove his diving equipment piece by piece.

Although the pressure had increased substantially, he could still withstand it.

Overall, it wasn’t too much of a burden.

Even without an oxygen cylinder, he could last for a while.

Then he suddenly jumped toward the front of the submarine.

As soon as he went from the ordinary seawater into the seafloor current, his body was immediately swept towards the submarine!

It was as if a tremendous force had slapped him directly towards the submarine!

With a sweep of his hand, the huge flow of water enveloping his body suddenly disappeared.

The water around him immediately pressed down into the newly formed tens of cubic meters of space!

Because of this sudden space, Sean’s forward momentum slowed down abruptly, and then the submarine was less than half a meter in front of him!

He only needed to reach out to touch it!

As he reached out, a sudden current from behind fiercely slapped him out, smashing him against the submarine!

The impact was severe, causing Sean’s body to be injured, feeling as though his ribs had shattered!

He groaned in pain, then reached out and grabbed the submarine—after all the hardships, this was what he was after, and if he didn’t seize it now, he would never get the chance!

Once he grabbed the submarine, a large space formed in the current, and Sean’s body was once again sped forward by the current behind him!

He was injured once more and couldn’t help but swallow a mouthful of salty, bitter seawater.

And the rope had also reached its limit!

The scouring of the current caused Sean’s clothes to disappear immediately, and the muscles on his body felt the intense impact!

The rope snapped straight, and Sean could even feel that the rope wouldn’t last much longer!

Knowing he couldn’t stop even for a moment, he immediately waved his hand again, taking away all the continually surging seawater in front of him, clearing a space before the next wave of seawater hit, and pulled himself significantly closer to the edge of the canyon with the rope.

It wasn’t possible to go up in one go; swimming in the water, especially hundreds of meters underwater, wasn’t as easy as on flat ground.

Sean endured another onslaught of the current, continuously capturing seawater until he finally reached the edge of the canyon with the rope.

During this pulling process, Sean realized that the rope was becoming increasingly unstable!

He now regretted not tying two ropes earlier or securing the rope more tightly!

He spat another mouthful of blood and, seeing the seafloor still high above him, Sean gave a bitter smile. He endured the pressure and continued absorbing seawater, grateful that at the edge of the canyon, the current’s force was not as swift as before.

However, if this continued, the seawater in his spatial realm would be full soon.

Although this space was free from time and gravity, with the large volume of seawater, it was inevitable that some things would be damaged.

Cleaning up afterwards would be troublesome.

However, thinking of the abundant special spiritual essence contained in the Bronze Dragon, Sean felt it was worth it!

Step by step, he pulled himself up with the rope, not daring to use his full strength, relying entirely on continuously capturing seawater, lest the next moment, he might accidentally pull the rope apart!

Just as he was about to reach the seafloor surface, Sean’s heart slightly relaxed, then suddenly he felt a lightness in his hand!

The rope had come loose!

He was shocked, and a not-so-strong current pushed him down into the canyon!
