Survival game, I have a special mission

Chapter 17 Ocean Drifting (Geowu Ruins)

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

Xiao Ran replaced the ship with a submarine, and drove the submarine to carefully search the nearby sea area.

Diving down to 50 meters, you can see many schools of fish playing.

Dive down to 100 meters, where many deep-sea fish live.

When we dived to 500 meters, the sun almost became weak, and occasionally one or two fish appeared.

Dive down to 1000 meters, close to the bottom of the sea.The sun was no longer visible, and the surroundings of the submarine became pitch black, with only some mayfly creatures.

Several people looked around with high-definition cameras, but found nothing.

After changing the cruise ship to a submarine, the space becomes smaller.Except for the small single rooms where the four of them live, there is only the cockpit, a toilet, a small kitchen and a dining room.

Now everyone can only sit around the restaurant and discuss together.Unknowingly, everyone regards Li Xiaoxiao as a big sister.

Fairclair: "Sister Hua, this ruin is really as mysterious as it is said in the legend. I think it has already escaped."

Caroline: "That's right, I have dived to 1000 meters and still haven't found it."

Li Xiaoxiao looked at everyone in silence, and it took a long time before she said: "Look again, if you really can't find it, go up."

She pinched the center of her brows with some headaches, and she didn't know whether the information she found was reliable or not. It had been a long time and she still hadn't found the Gewu ruins.

No wonder there is no deadline for the mission, it is indeed difficult.

Seeing Li Xiaoxiao's exhausted appearance, Xiao Ran felt a little distressed: "Let's persevere, we've been looking for it for so long, and I still feel unwilling to give up like this."

Several people continued to search with the submarine.

Beep, beep, beep——

Fairclair put his hand in front of the detection screen excitedly: "There is a response! We detected it!"

The others quickly approached.

Li Xiaoxiao was a little happy looking at the red dot on the detection screen, and finally found it.

However, when everyone was looking for it, the red dot disappeared, and the target disappeared all of a sudden.

A few people couldn't believe it.

Li Xiaoxiao went back to the room and quickly put on the diving suit, and took out the water-repellent beads: "I want to go out and have a look for myself, you stay here to see if there is any dangerous place around."

Xiao Ran: "I'll go with you."

Li Xiaoxiao thought for a while: "Okay, then come with me. Fairclair is in charge of observing the surrounding situation, and Caroline is in charge of continuing to search."

"it is good!"

"understand!"

Li Xiaoxiao and Xiao Ran left the submarine to search together. Fortunately, there were water-proof beads to resist the water pressure, otherwise they would probably be crushed by the pressure now.

The three hours were up soon, and Li Xiaoxiao had no choice but to give up looking for the return submarine.

Caroline helped them take off their wetsuits.

Fairclair hurriedly asked: "How is it? Did you gain anything?"

Xiao Ran shook her head.

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

Xiao Ran: "What's it like?"

Li Xiaoxiao recalled what she saw just now. The site turned into ruins and sank on the bottom of the sea, like a flash in the pan, and it disappeared in a blink of an eye.

"After I saw it, I wanted to ask Xiao Ran to go and watch it together, but I didn't expect to turn around and disappear."

Caroline: "That's a pity, but it's okay, it means that the site is still in this sea area. Maybe we can find it if we look again."

Fairclair comforted: "That's right, I will continue to stay in the cockpit to observe, and if I find anything, I will call everyone. I will definitely find it this time."

After speaking, he turned around and left to go to the cockpit.

Li Xiaoxiao stopped him: "Wait a minute, let's divide into two groups and take turns to look for it. It's better if four people look for it together in groups and take turns to look for it, so that people can watch all the time."

Groups of four can also allow everyone to take turns to rest.

Caroline agreed: "Then I'll be with Fairclair. You and Sister Xiao Ran are a little tired after diving. Let's rest first. We can do it."

Li Xiaoxiao: "Okay."

The four of them took turns looking for it, and after spending a week at the bottom of the sea, they finally found the ruins.

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

This time, they finally found the ruins.

It was exactly the same as when Li Xiaoxiao first discovered it.

The abandoned stone arches lay askew on the bottom of the sea, and a few stone pillars protruded here and there, so the original appearance could not be seen at all.

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.After the erosion of sea water, it has been dilapidated, but the contents are still intact.

She picked up the stone next to it and smashed it. There was a gem inside. She put it in her backpack and continued to search.

Xiao Ran found a small box and some gold coins that didn't look damaged at all.

Fairclair found some gold coins and gems.

Time is running out, and the three return to the submarine.

Several people sat at the dining table and took out all the things they found.A twenty badges, 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 to compare with the badge in his hand: "This badge also has cat's claws on it, so what does cat's claw symbolize?"

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

According to the degree of erosion of this ruin, it should have sunk to the bottom of the sea a long time ago, and it is impossible for this box to remain so clean.

Either the box or the contents of the box have some kind of special function, or it is left over from 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 Fairclair: "Try to see if you can open it."

Fairclair failed to open it with great effort, and he looked at Li Xiaoxiao in embarrassment.

Li Xiaoxiao sighed lightly: "Since it can't be opened by normal methods, then smash it."

Fairclair took out a sledgehammer and smashed it down, leaving the small box intact.

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

Li Xiaoxiao: "Try another saw."

Fairclair tried many methods but failed to open the small box.

Li Xiaoxiao waved him to stop: "Forget it, put it away first, and see how to deal with it when the time comes."

Fairclair scratched his head: "Is the key still outside? How about I go out and look for it?"

Fairclair's time limit for exchanging water-avoiding beads is four hours. To prevent accidents, I searched with everyone for three hours.

Xiao Ran: "Forget it, let's go find it together tomorrow."

Several people temporarily gave up opening the small box and began to observe the gold coins and badges on the table.

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

Li Xiaoxiao asked Xiaomang in her mind, "Xiaomang, what can you detect?" '

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

Tsk, a system that doesn't understand at all.

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

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

Li Xiaoxiao smiled, and led everyone to the cockpit. "Didn't you find some news about the ruins of Gewu before? I think what will happen if we replace the badge with gold coins or gems?"

This ruin always appears mysteriously, perhaps because its scope is too large, and occasionally someone who enters from different places will say that it is always elusive.

But this is just Li Xiaoxiao's guess, whether this is the case or not will only be known through experiments.

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

[Beep beep—the target has been detected. 】

Several people saw the red dot appearing at a distance of twenty nautical miles from them. Fairclair went to a window beside him and saw that the ruins were still there by the light.

"What's going on? The ruins are still there, so what is that red dot?"

Li Xiaoxiao raised the corner of her mouth: "It seems that my guess is right."

Xiao Ran looked up at her: "What guess?"

Li Xiaoxiao explained to everyone: "The information we collected before said that many people can find the relics in different places, and then they said that the relics appear and disappear."

"So I guess whether the ruins are so big that there are many entrances and exits, so they will be mistaken for it to be elusive."

Caroline was still puzzled: "Maybe it was a detection error. We detected it before, but we couldn't find it in the past."

Li Xiaoxiao shook her head: "Think about it, these things are all exchanged from the mall, the quality must be guaranteed, and there is no detection error."

Fairclair returned to everyone: "It is also possible that some people have seen the ruins, and then forgot the address and said it casually, causing everyone to mistakenly think that its whereabouts are uncertain."

The other two nodded in agreement with him.

Li Xiaoxiao was not annoyed: "That's why we need to verify. Let's search this area as soon as possible, and we will go to the newly discovered place to look for it in a few days."

If it is what Li Xiaoxiao thinks, then this ruin is really big enough.

A few people have no opinion.

After another week of searching, several people searched all of this area.

A total of a lot of gold coins and gems were harvested, and the badges had already been found when they first came.

During the last search, Li Xiaoxiao found a brand new box, which still couldn't be opened like the previous one.

After a day's rest, the few people drove the submarine to the place detected with gold coins.

After arriving at the place, several people saw a ruin.

This ruin is an abandoned palace, and Li Xiaoxiao and the others sneaked in cautiously.

Many abandoned seats are arranged in an orderly manner, and there are many human bones on the seats, sitting in prayer postures.

Directly in front of them is a statue of a man and a woman. The two are hugging each other, holding something in their hands.

Li Xiaoxiao gestured to the other three to search separately, while she stepped forward to check the statue.

After walking in, Li Xiaoxiao found that the statue looked familiar, but she couldn't remember where she saw it for a while.

Based on previous experience, Li Xiaoxiao focused on finding the base of the statue.It really made her find a key, but the key was rusted.

Putting it into the backpack, Li Xiaoxiao swam to the front of the statue again, intending to see what the statue was holding.

Suddenly, something happened to Xiao Ran.

A group of aurora red fish revealed red light together as if a switch had been pressed, illuminating the entire palace.
