“Bro, maybe I should skip this. I won’t go!” Guo Yan looked worried when she heard Zhou Chao was planning to free dive.
“No need, just put on the gear,” Zhou Chao directly rejected Guo Yan’s suggestion.
“Second Brother, stop joking around.” Li Yang also looked at Zhou Chao with a serious expression.
“Don’t worry, I wouldn’t say this if I didn’t have full confidence. Besides, I’ll be going down with all of you. If anything unexpected happens, you’ll be there for me!”
“Xiao Li, please persuade Second Brother!” Since Li Yang couldn’t convince Zhou Chao, he turned to Jiang Li, who was standing nearby, with a hopeful look.
Jiang Li smiled and looked at Zhou Chao’s confident expression, saying calmly, “Big Brother, I believe in him.”
“Zhou, I still advise you not to take unnecessary risks.”
“Don’t worry, Abdullah, I’m confident!”
Seeing Zhou Chao’s determined look, no one tried to convince him further. They began to check their equipment, following Angie’s guidance.
Meanwhile, Zhou Chao obtained a set of free diving gear from Angie, quickly took off his clothes, and was left with just swim trunks.
“Oh my God, Zhou, your physique is amazing, as if it was created by the heavens!” Abdullah admired Zhou Chao’s body with envy.
“Haha, regular exercise can get you there too.”
“Impossible, my physique was built through continuous training. It’s far from yours!” He said, running his hand over Zhou Chao’s abs.
“Abdullah, I’m not into guys.” free(w)ebnovel
“Get lost, I’m not into guys either.”
Hearing their conversation, the others laughed.
Angie soon arranged for everyone to get into the water. Except for Li Yang and Abdullah, none of them had dived before, so they had to adjust to their breathing initially. Following Angie’s guidance, Jiang Li and the others quickly learned how to manage their breathing.
Zhou Chao also put on his free diving gear, wearing a wetsuit. After taking a few deep breaths and adjusting his mask, he swiftly jumped into the water.
After swimming for a while in the sea, he felt his body warming up.
“Everything okay?” Li Yang swam over to him and asked.
“No problem!”
Then, everyone began their descent. Zhou Chao seemed like a fish in the sea, moving gracefully and swiftly. The others were amazed, even Angie, who had been diving for over a decade, couldn’t help but admire Zhou Chao’s remarkable skills.
They soon reached a suitable depth, and Angie signaled for everyone to follow him.
Underwater visibility was excellent, and Zhou Chao estimated it to be around 30 meters.
Following Angie for about 50 meters, they were all astonished. A large school of fish swam among the corals, displaying vibrant colors. The fish didn’t panic or flee because of their presence; some even boldly approached them.
At this moment, Jiang Li swam to Zhou Chao’s side, suggesting that he might want to take a breath of oxygen.
Zhou Chao smiled, and shook his head, indicating he could continue without it.
Seeing Zhou Chao’s determination, the others checked their equipment and followed Angie’s guidance.
As they approached the entrance of the cavern, Jiang Li tapped Zhou Chao on the shoulder and pointed to his side and behind him.
Zhou Chao turned to look and saw a shark slowly approaching them.
Those who had noticed the shark were startled, especially Guo Yan, whose face turned pale. She was still young and naturally frightened by the sight of a shark. The others were a bit better, but their faces revealed traces of panic.
Watching the shark getting closer and closer, Zhou Chao reluctantly swam towards it, using animal affinity and pointing at the shark.
The initially lazy shark seemed to sense something and swiftly swam towards Zhou Chao. This frightened the group behind him, causing them to quickly descend into the water. Only Jiang Li and Li Yang swam towards Zhou Chao.
Seeing the two approaching him, Zhou Chao waved his hand, indicating they shouldn’t be afraid.
In the next moment, everyone was left dumbfounded by the shark’s behavior.
The shark quickly reached Zhou Chao and started affectionately rubbing against his body. Zhou Chao extended his hand to stroke the shark’s head, giving everyone the impression that he was petting a cat.
Zhou Chao patted the shark’s head and then climbed on its back. To the astonishment of onlookers, the shark carried Zhou Chao and headed towards the surface of the sea.
Leaving a group of dumbfounded people staring at Zhou Chao and the shark, their eyes wide behind their masks.
At this moment, Abdullah’s face was filled with disbelief. If he could speak, he would probably repeat one phrase incessantly, “God, is this for real?”
Soon, the shark brought Zhou Chao to the surface of the sea. Miles and the others who were chatting on the yacht heard the commotion and rushed to the deck.
“Oh my God, is this real?” When Miles and the others arrived on the deck and saw their boss and the shark underneath him, their cigars dropped to the ground, and they were completely at a loss.
Floating up from nearly 10 meters below the sea, even with Zhou Chao’s physical fitness, he felt a bit breathless. But he quickly recovered.
Zhou Chao patted the shark beneath him and said, “Little buddy, go play somewhere else. Don’t come back today!”
After saying that, Zhou Chao flipped off the shark, and the shark circled around him.
The people on the boat were in awe and started screaming.
At this moment, two figures emerged from the sea.
“Phew!”
Zhou Chao took a closer look and realized it was Jiang Li and Guo Yan.
“How did you two get up here?”
“Xiao Yan got scared just now and panicked a bit, so I let her come up to take a rest!”
Zhou Chao nodded, and the three of them swam towards the yacht. Miles and the others helped them up onto the boat.
After removing their masks, Zhou Chao noticed that Guo Yan had turned into a teary mess. He exchanged a glance with Jiang Li, and understanding each other, they escorted Guo Yan into the cabin.
Zhou Chao watched the two women go into the cabin and then put on the gear that Jiang Li had just taken off. He changed the oxygen tank and prepared to continue diving.
“Boss, don’t you need to take a break?” Lin Wu said with a worried expression.
“It’s fine, what we did just now was just a warm-up. I’m perfectly fine.”
Seeing Zhou Chao’s determination, Lin Wu didn’t argue further and nodded, standing by and watching Zhou Chao busy himself.
Soon, Zhou Chao had donned his gear and stood by the ship’s rail, waving to the others before jumping into the sea.
With an oxygen tank on, Zhou Chao moved quickly towards Li Yang and the others.
When he arrived at their previous location, he found that they had moved on. Zhou Chao swam towards the underwater cathedral.
“Why is it so dark here?” As soon as he entered the cave, he was surrounded by pitch-black darkness. Zhou Chao quickly turned on his flashlight and swam forward.
After swimming for about 10 meters, he saw a bright light ahead.
“This… what is this?” Sunlight was shining down from the sea surface, penetrating through the cave’s ceiling and creating a unique, deep blue ambiance in the cave. It was a sight Zhou Chao had never seen before.
After admiring it for a moment, Zhou Chao continued to swim forward. Passing through another pitch-black cave, he finally saw Li Yang and the others. Zhou Chao quickly turned off his flashlight and swam towards them. “Wuuuu!” The group was enjoying the ethereal blue light filtering down from the cave ceiling when they suddenly saw a swift figure approaching them. Abdullah’s female companion nervously waved her arms.
Li Yang, Angie, and the others also noticed the figure in the cave. Soon, Zhou Chao appeared before them.
When everyone recognized Zhou Chao’s figure, they finally felt relieved.
Li Yang swam towards Zhou Chao and lightly punched his chest, as if saying, “You scared the hell out of us!”
Zhou Chao waved it off, greeted the others, and then gestured to continue forward.
Soon, the group, led by Angie, arrived at the Second Cathedral. It was similar to the First Cathedral, with the only difference being the larger number of fish here. There seemed to be many interesting things hidden in the cracks of the rocks. f reeweb novel.com
“Wuu!” While everyone was still admiring the beautiful scenery, Abdullah waved at Zhou Chao and repeatedly pointed to the crevices in the rocks below.
Zhou Chao quickly swam over, following Abdullah’s gestures. He saw a bunch of large lobsters hiding in the crevices.
“Do you want to catch them?” Zhou Chao had to use hand gestures to communicate, not sure if Abdullah could understand.
After a couple of attempts at gesturing, Abdullah nodded, seemingly understanding Zhou Chao’s intention.
Then, the two of them swam slowly towards the rocks, careful not to startle the large lobsters.
Zhou Chao observed the situation and decided to go for a two-pronged attack. He gestured to Abdullah, indicating that he should approach the other side of the rock.
Both of them quickly got into position. Zhou Chao nodded at Abdullah, and they simultaneously reached into the crevices of the rocks.
Zhou Chao was swift and managed to grab the two largest lobsters, firmly gripping their heads. In contrast, Abdullah’s reaction was slightly slower, and he was kicked by one of the lobsters, failing to catch any.
Seeing the two lobsters in Zhou Chao’s hands, Abdullah couldn’t help but give him a thumbs-up. Angie also swam over, opened the net bag she had with her, and Zhou Chao placed the lobsters inside.
Angie then made a hand gesture and pointed upwards, signaling to the others that it was time to resurface. Li Yang and the rest understood and quickly followed suit.
Zhou Chao counted the number of people and nodded. He led the way back towards the sea surface, and the other four followed suit. Soon, all five of them emerged from the water.
They were about a hundred meters away from the yacht. They leisurely swam towards it, and the sailors on the yacht noticed them. The crew slowly maneuvered the boat closer to them..
