Several people drove the ship to the area where the ruins appeared.

Xiao Ran changed the ship into a submarine and drove the submarine to carefully search the nearby sea area.

Dive to 50 meters and you can see many schools of fish swimming around.

Dive down to a hundred meters, where many deep-sea fish live.

Dive to 500 meters, the sunlight becomes almost faint, and occasionally one or two fish appear.

Dive to one thousand meters and get close to the bottom of the sea. The sun is no longer visible, and the area around the submarine becomes pitch black except for some mayflies.

Several people relied on high-definition cameras to observe the surrounding area, but found nothing.

After replacing the cruise ship with a submarine, the space became smaller. Except for the small single rooms where four people lived, there was only a cockpit, a toilet, a small kitchen and a dining room.

Now everyone can only sit next to the restaurant and discuss together. Unknowingly, everyone regards Li Xiaoxiao as their eldest sister.

Fairkle: "Sister Hua, this ruin is really as mysterious as the legend says. I think it has run away now."

Caroline: "That's right. I've even dived to a thousand meters and still haven't found it."

Li Xiaoxiao looked at everyone in silence for a long time before speaking: "Look again. If you really can't find it, go up."

She pinched her eyebrows with a headache, and wondered whether the information she found was reliable. It had been so long and she still hadn't found the Gewu ruins.

No wonder there is no deadline for completing the task. This task is indeed difficult.

Seeing Li Xiaoxiao's tired look, Xiao Ran felt a little distressed: "Let's hold on a little longer. We've been looking for it for so long, and I still feel unwilling to give up like this."

Several people continued to search in submarines.

Beep, beep, beep——

Fairkle excitedly put his hand in front of the detection screen: "There is a reaction! We have detected it!"

Others quickly approached.

Li Xiaoxiao looked a little happy at the red dot on the detection screen, finally finding it.

However, just as everyone was looking for it, the red dot disappeared and the target was suddenly gone.

Several people were in disbelief.

Li Xiaoxiao returned to the room and quickly put on her diving suit and took out the water-proof beads: "I want to go out and take a look myself. You stay here and observe whether there are any dangerous places around."

Xiaoran: "I'll go with you."

Li Xiaoxiao thought for a while: "Okay, then come with me. Fairkle is responsible for observing the situation nearby, and Caroline is responsible for continuing the search."

"good!"

"clear!"

Li Xiaoxiao and Xiao Ran left the submarine and went out to search. Fortunately, there were water droplets to resist the water pressure, otherwise they would probably be squashed by the pressure.

The three hours came quickly, and Li Xiaoxiao had no choice but to give up the search and return to the submarine.

Caroline helped them take off their wetsuits.

Fairkle hurriedly asked: "How is it? Is there anything gained?"

Xiao Ran shook his head.

Li Xiaoxiao thought for a while: "I feel like I saw it, but I'm not sure."

Xiao Ran: "What does it look like?"

Li Xiaoxiao recalled what he had just seen. The site turned into ruins and sank to the bottom of the sea. It was like a flash in the pan that disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"When I saw it, I wanted to ask Xiaoran to go over and see it together, but unexpectedly, I turned around and disappeared."

Caroline: "That's a pity, but it's good, it means that the ruins are still in this sea area. Maybe we can find it if we keep searching."

Fairkle comforted: "Yes, I will continue to stay in the cockpit and observe, and I will call everyone if I find anything. I will definitely find it this time."

After saying that, he turned around and left for the cockpit.

Li Xiaoxiao stopped him: "Wait a minute, let's divide into two groups and take turns to search. It's better for four people to search together than to search in groups and take turns, so that someone can observe at all times."

Grouping four people also allows everyone to take turns to rest.

Caroline agreed: "Then I'll team up with Fairkle. You and Sister Xiaoran will take a rest first when you're a little tired after diving. We can do that."

Li Xiaoxiao: "Okay."

The four of them took turns searching, and after staying on the seabed for a week, they finally found the ruins.

Li Xiaoxiao quickly positioned it, then asked everyone to put on their diving suits and put on water-proof beads, leaving Caroline alone to guard the submarine while the other three went out to investigate.

This time, they finally found the ruins.

As expected, this place is exactly the same as when Li Xiaoxiao first discovered it.

The abandoned stone arch fell crookedly on the seabed, with a few scattered stone pillars protruding, making it impossible to see its original appearance.

Passing through the stone arch, several people saw that all the buildings had collapsed, leaving only the stone statue in the middle of the ruins.

It was a warrior holding a long sword and riding a horse.

Li Xiaoxiao swam over to observe and found a medal on the knight's chest, which was the same as the one Mu Bai traded.

The three of them searched around the stone statue.

Li Xiaoxiao found a wooden box. It had been tattered by seawater erosion, but the contents inside were still intact.

She picked up the stone next to her and smashed it. Inside was a gem. She put it in her backpack and continued searching.

Xiaoran found a small box and some gold coins that looked undamaged.

Fairclair found some gold coins and gems.

The time was almost up and the three returned to the submarine.

Several people sat at the dining table and took out everything they found. A twenty badge, a box of gold coins and a box of gems.

Caroline picked up a gold coin curiously: "Why is the pattern on this gold coin a cat paw print? Shouldn't it be a character's head?"

Xiao Ran also picked up a gold coin and compared it with the badge in his hand: "This badge also has cat claws on it. Is the cat claw a symbol?"

Li Xiaoxiao: "I don't know, but I'm curious how this small box can be kept so clean and tidy."

Judging from the extent of erosion of this ruins, it must have sunk to the bottom of the sea a long time ago. It is impossible for this box to remain so clean.

Either this box or the items inside it have some special function, or they were left behind by other players.

No matter which possibility it is, you can only know it by opening the box and looking at it.

Li Xiaoxiao pushed it to Fairkle: "Try and see if you can open it."

Fairkle failed to open it after a lot of effort. He looked at Li Xiaoxiao with some embarrassment.

Li Xiaoxiao sighed softly: "Since it can't be opened by normal methods, let's smash it."

Fairkle took out a big hammer and smashed it down, but the small box was still intact.

Caroline: "What's going on? Isn't this an ordinary wooden box? Why can't it be opened?"

Li Xiaoxiao: "Try another saw."

Fairclay tried many methods but could not open the small box.

Li Xiaoxiao waved his hand to tell him to stop: "Forget it, put it away first, and we'll see how to deal with it later."

Fairkle scratched his head: "Is the key still outside? Why don't I go out and look for it again?"

The time limit for the water-proof beads redeemed by Fairclay is four hours. In order to prevent accidents, we searched for three hours with everyone.

Xiaoran: "Forget it, let's go look for it together tomorrow."

A few people gave up opening the small box for the time being and began to observe the gold coins and badges on the table.

The pictures of gold coins and badges are the same, both have a begonia flower and a cat's paw.

Li Xiaoxiao asked Xiao Mang in his mind, 'Xiao Mang, what can you detect?'

[Sorry, this requires players to explore by themselves. 】

Tsk, a system that is not sensible at all.

Li Xiaoxiao suddenly realized something: "Maybe we can try that method."

"What?" The three of them looked at Li Xiaoxiao in confusion.

Li Xiaoxiao smiled and led everyone to the cockpit. "Didn't I find some information about the ruins of Garwitch and find traces of it? I wonder what would happen if we changed the badge into gold coins or gems?

"

This ruin always appears mysteriously, perhaps because it is so large. Occasionally, people entering from different places will say that it is always elusive.

However, this is just Li Xiaoxiao’s guess. Whether this is the case will only be known through experiments.

She took off the badge on the detection screen and replaced it with the gold coin she just got.
