After failing the college entrance examination, I relied on fishing to reach the top of my life

Nautilus are known as living fossils not just because they have existed long enough. One of the main reasons why scientists call it so is because many existing fossils are related to nautilus.

For example, what Su Mo just discovered is suspected to be Cathay and Ammonite. They are also the ancestors of Nautilus!

Next to the big hole dug by the leatherback sea turtle, Su Mo didn't expect that he actually mistakenly blamed a big sea turtle. It seemed that the legends about sea turtles being psychic were true. This guy was responsible for pulling out the plastic film for it. , and actually dug out the treasure underneath.

He first held the pagoda-like stone and pulled it out of the ground with a little force.

This stone is not thick. Su Mo can hold it with just one hand, but it is more than one meter long. There are very obvious wavy horizontal lines on the surface. After washing off the sediment on it, you can still see something like The patterns in the Tai Chi diagram are very magical.

"It is indeed the Chinese Cathay Corner Stone!"

Su Mo was overjoyed. This kind of stone was only produced in our country before. In ancient times, people believed that it had the effect of dispelling disasters and exorcising evil spirits, so it was also called "evil-suppressing stone" and "evil-expelling stone".

In modern times, although there are many unearthed Sinian horn stones, most of them are very small. The one meter long one discovered by Su Mo is definitely a treasure! Even if you take it to some small museums, it can still be considered a treasure!

Although the other bamboo shoot-like Sinian corner stone is much smaller, it is definitely worth a lot of money. If it is processed into a handicraft, it will definitely sell for a good price!

Then he looked at the big guy who looked like a millstone.

Su Mo roughly calculated the diameter of the big stone with the palm of his hand and found that it was about 1 meters in diameter.

At first he thought the pattern on it was a nautilus, but after taking a closer look, he discovered that it was made up of many nautiluses.

This should really be an ammonite. Su Mo didn't know much about this thing, but he estimated that its value wouldn't be much worse than the Sinian corner stone.

After rescuing a turtle, he got two treasures, which made Su Mo very happy. The secret Taoist should do more good deeds!

Carefully putting the three treasures into the bubble, he took one last look at the pearl nautiluses, and then dived into deeper waters again.

As a result, this dive lasted more than an hour! He went from more than a thousand meters to 2000 meters, and then to 3000 meters!

This is the deepest sea he has ever reached in his life!

It sounds very scary, but in fact, Su Mo didn't feel anything, and even felt a little bored.

Because the further down you go, there are fewer and fewer marine life. At first, you can still see some normal fish. By the time he reaches 3000 meters underwater, there are almost only some jellyfish or things that don't look like fish in front of him.

For example, the deep-sea arowana he saw just now was startled when he first saw it, because it was so ugly that even Su Mo, who liked to collect, didn't intend to catch it.

Seeing that there were fewer and fewer lives around him, Su Mo became anxious for the first time. He wondered if he had come to the wrong place. There were no sea cucumbers here at all.

"I have already gained a lot from this trip. Even if I go back now, it is not considered a failure. There are so few creatures here, and there shouldn't be much meaning in going further."

"I've already dived to a depth of 3000 meters, and I'm not willing to go back now. What if I dive a little deeper and find sea cucumbers?"

Two completely different ideas arose in his mind in no particular order, making him very entangled.

There was a war between heaven and man in my mind for a while, but finally the idea of ​​trying my luck prevailed.

“Dive another 500 meters and go back if you don’t find any sea cucumbers!”

Su Mo thought in his mind, and immediately accelerated his dive. Sure enough, he lost the bet this time. When he came to the 3500-meter sea, there were even very few corals around him.

"Dive another 300 meters!"

Su Mo gritted his teeth, like a gambler who was unlucky, and decided to put the little money he had left on the gambling table!

"Dive another 200 meters!"

"Finally dive 100 meters!"

4100 meters under the sea! Su Mo finally stopped.

Due to changes in terrain, the trench below has become narrower. His current location is similar to a slope, and the surrounding seawater has even changed from cold to warm, indicating that there may be submarine volcanoes nearby.

The main thing is that there is a bunch of ridges covered with seaweed on the slope ahead! And countless sea cucumbers are slowly squirming among them.

There are brown ones, green ones, purple ones and a few as pure white as jade!

White jade sea cucumber!

Seeing the scene in front of him, Su Mo was immediately overjoyed!

"My bet was right! The price of a white jade sea cucumber has reached 10,000+ on the market now. There are so many here, I'm really going to make a fortune!"

He was so excited that he immediately swam in the direction of the sea cucumbers, eager to catch them back.

But what he didn't expect was that as soon as his feet stepped on the ground, the ridges covered with seaweed collapsed, and the collapses were chain-linked!

In an instant, it felt as if there was an earthquake nearby, and Su Mo was so frightened that he quickly floated upward.

After a while, the huge movement finally stopped. Su Mo looked down and saw that the slightly raised terrain had completely turned into a flat bottom. Fortunately, not all of the sea cucumbers escaped. At this time, most of them returned. All returned to the seaweed.

"How did the rock suddenly collapse?"

Su Mo frowned and thought for a while but couldn't figure out the reason. After confirming that there were no other large creatures around, he dived near the ground again.

This time he did not step on the ground rashly, but pressed it slightly with his hand.

"what!"

Su Mo was a little surprised, because judging from the feel, it didn't seem like there was a rock underneath!

Pushing aside the seaweed attached to the surface, several white bones suddenly appeared underneath, and they looked very much like human hand bones!

"Fuck!"

Su Mo's eyes suddenly widened and he almost ran away, but he reacted immediately.

If this was a human hand bone, how old would this person be? Only the hand bones of giants could be so big!

But how can there be giants in this world?

Su Mo swallowed and immediately went over to observe it carefully, becoming more and more convinced that these were not human bones.

After a while, he pushed aside the surrounding seaweed, finally revealing the original appearance of these bones.

This turned out to be a pile of bones composed of an unknown number of large whales, and judging from the shape of the skull, these bones were from sperm whales!

And Su Mo finally figured it out.

As the saying goes, when one whale falls, all things will grow. It is precisely because these sperm whales all died here for some reason that they formed such a large nutrient-rich area in the deep sea, thus supporting so many sea cucumbers!
