Chapter 776 A Wrecked Boa (2/2)
While the group of them walked on the fine snow-white sand of the beach, they felt the atmosphere suddenly become less tense.
There were some trees scattered on the beach. As the trees had curved trunks and pinnate leaves, Li Du thought that they were coconut trees when he first saw them and was elated.
However, after taking a closer look, there were neither coconuts nor fruits on the trees.
Brother Wolf said, ”These aren't coconut trees. These are Australian pines, which slightly resemble coconut trees from afar. However, if you've seen them before, you'll think that the difference between the two types of trees is very huge.”
Li Du responded, ”It's still great even if they are Australian pines. It's a pity that the island can't be developed due to having too many snakes. Otherwise, the island would definitely be a great tourist attraction.”
Hans laughed. ”No, not possible. How are the electrical and communication problems going to be solved? Rely completely on importing diesel and gasoline from other places? If that's the case, the cost of living will be too high.”
”But there's an extremely beautiful beach on this island,” Lu Guan rebutted. ”So long as there's a gorgeous beach, people would be willing to come over for a vacation.”
Australia was a famous holiday location. Since Australia was completely surrounded by sea, there were a lot of high-quality beaches there.
As the best beaches in Australia had been bought by the top hotels, there was a cost to enjoying them. There was a saying in Australia: ”Good hotels make the beaches their private property.”
After continuing along the beach, they discovered something surprising: instead of being continuous along the coastline, the beach had a small bay, which was formed from the crashing of waves, in the middle.
In other words, there was an area of the sea that had extended into the middle of the island's beach.
The small bay had a tiny area that was only approximately one hectare. Besides having the same fine snow-white sand that the beach had, the bottom of the small bay also had clusters of corals.
As such, with the vibrant colors of the corals contrasting with the white sand, the scene was very striking.
The small bay was very shallow, and its deepest area was less than six feet deep. The few various-sized fish, prawns, and crabs that inhibited its waters and the frequent crashing of the waves maintained its liveliness.
As sunlight shined into the shallow and clear waters of the small bay, they were able to pretty much view the entire small bay in one glance.
After squatting on the beach and looking down, Hans turned his head and smiled. ”Hey, there are black gold abalones, see them? There's a large one there, and a bunch of small ones as well. We're so lucky!”
When Li Du saw Hans getting ready to go into the small bay, he reached out, grabbed hold of him, and said, ”Clearly, these small black gold abalones are the large abalone's offsprings. Don't disturb them, let them live here.”
As one black gold abalone was insignificant to them and the elegance and tranquillity of the small bay were breathtaking, Li Du did not want to destroy this tranquil and beautiful place.
After continuing forward, they walked past the beach and arrived at a large coral reef.
The remaining parts of the island did not have many scenic views. Similar to the other parts of the barren island, the remaining parts of the island only had various types of plants growing wildly in them.
When they arrived at the southeast corner of the island, Brother Wolf suddenly pointed at a distant area of the sea. ”Guys look—what's that?”
After taking a look, Li Du spotted a shadow on the surface of the sea. When he observed the shadow with binoculars, he saw that it was a wrecked boat with half its body in the sea and the other half on the surface of the sea.
”Huh, there's a boat here? Are there treasures on the boat?” Hans asked joyfully.
Li Du mocked, ”Earlier, you ridiculed me when I said that there's hidden treasure on the island. Aren't you slapping yourself in the face with what you are saying now?”
Hans rebutted, ”Of course not. You said that there's hidden treasure on the island. I said that it's the sea that has hidden treasures. There are lots of sunken boats that have treasures on them in the South Pacific. Come, let's find a way to go onboard and have a look. Who knows, maybe there are some valuable items on the boat?”
