After awakening her X-ray vision, the beautiful CEO couldn't sit still any longer.

"Brother Ye, it seems like something is jumping on the huge pillar in front of us?"

Moreover, it is extremely fast, appearing and disappearing unpredictably, vanishing in the blink of an eye.

Did you see that?

Sun Yongqiang swallowed hard, a look of horror on his face.

Even though he had been to countless tombs, he had never seen such an unbelievable scene at the bottom of the sea.

The thing leaping on the stone pillar was moving at a speed that exceeded human limits.

And it's not just one or two, it's a huge number.

Although Sun Yongqiang only saw blurry afterimages, judging from the dense array of afterimages, there were at least hundreds or thousands of them.

Once an attack is launched against them, who can withstand it?

It's hard for people not to feel fear when facing the unknown.

"Activate your Heavenly Eye!"

Ye Tian quickly activated his Heavenly Eye Divine Power to investigate, also wanting to know what kind of ghost was playing tricks ahead.

After seeing it clearly, Ye Tian breathed a long sigh of relief.

"Chief Sun, don't panic. Those huge stone pillars ahead are made of magnetite."

When the magnetic field here reaches a certain intensity, it will generate an electric arc, which will jump silently between the porcelain iron ore.

Those elusive shadows you see are formed by the repeated jumping of electric arcs.

After hearing Ye Tian's explanation, Sun Yongqiang blushed.

This is incredibly embarrassing.

He used to travel through various ancient tombs and saw many strange and bizarre things.

I thought I had encountered a very difficult water monster today, but it turned out to be an electric arc.

"Haha, I'm getting old, my eyesight isn't what it used to be."

Brother Ye, you mustn't tell anyone about this, or I'll be too ashamed to face anyone.

Sun Yongqiang's words made Ye Tian burst into laughter.

"Don't worry, I definitely won't tell, but it's hard to say whether there are other dangers ahead."

They passed through a forest of giant, tilted magnetite pillars.

These magnetite pillars are even more magnificent than they appear in the video footage.

The surface is covered with a thick layer of marine fossils and twisted marine plants.

However, some areas can actually absorb light when illuminated by lamps.

As it drew near, the metal bushings at the joints of the wetsuit emitted a slight hum, and the halo of the headlamp became even more distorted.

Sun Yongqiang gave Ye Tian a hand signal.

He quickly scanned the area ahead with his light: "The terrain is complex, there are undercurrents, be extremely careful."

Ye Tian nodded and moved nimbly between the magnetite pillars.

Following his instincts, he circled around a particularly thick broken pillar, and the water in front of him suddenly opened up.

They arrived at a relatively open area.

The seabed here appears to have been artificially leveled; although it is still covered with silt and debris, the undulations are smaller.

In the center of this area, something lay quietly.

I could vaguely make out that it was a circular platform, about three or four meters in diameter.

The platform surface was also covered with sea dust, but the material was clearly different.

Under the light, it reflects a faint glow similar to obsidian, yet also possesses a metallic quality.

On the platform, three items were prominently displayed.

On the far left is a sealed metal container with a familiar pattern on its surface.

At this moment, even from a great distance, Ye Tian could feel an indescribable palpitation in his heart.

In the middle is a rectangular black plate, about half a meter long, with its surface covered with even more complex and strange patterns.

Those patterns are not etched, but rather seem to be part of the material itself, with a deep, dark luster that subtly flows even in dim light.

On the far right is an irregularly shaped object, tightly wrapped in a special material that resembles both rock and ceramic.

Only the general outline can be seen, resembling a sophisticated device, with the dark metal structure inside faintly visible through some gaps.

"These might be priceless treasures!"

Sun Yongqiang also saw it, his voice filled with disbelief and shock.

"Should we get closer and salvage it?"

Sun Yongqiang quickly scanned his surroundings to make sure there were no other dangerous creatures, and then gave a hand signal.

Ye Tian didn't decide immediately, but gestured for him to come closer and take a look.

He focused his mental energy once again and poured it into his eyes.

After the X-ray vision is activated, the field of vision changes again.

As the normal light dims, the internal structure of things is revealed in a pale blue energy outline.

He first looked at the black, plate-like object.

From a perspective view, it is not solid!

The interior is a layered structure, each layer densely covered with incredibly intricate energy networks, far more complex than the interior of those magnetite pillars.

But all these threads were now dim and lifeless.

Then, his gaze returned to the small container.

The special material shell became translucent under the light, and he saw that the inside was not empty, but contained a slowly flowing, condensed halo of light!

The shape and texture of the halo were extremely similar to the raw stone reference samples he had previously encountered, but it was more concentrated, more stable, and exuded a calm and ancient aura.

Just as he was trying to see more details and observe the last object that was wrapped up tightly,

puff!puff!puff!

Several extremely sharp signal beeps suddenly came from the helmet speaker.

Then came the crackling sound of the signal being forcibly torn apart and then barely reconnected.

Immediately following was Wang Yuyan's urgent warning, mixed with a massive amount of noise:

"Honey, something's wrong! A ship is approaching at high speed!"

It's like a research vessel exploring the deepest parts of the universe!

Our drone monitoring equipment is out of service.

Evacuate immediately! Repeat, evacuate immediately!

The communication was completely cut off after that sentence, turning into a dead silence of busy signals.

Almost simultaneously, Sun Yongqiang grabbed Ye Tian's arm and shook it violently.

With his other hand, he pointed to his own pressure gauge and communicator indicator lights.

The pressure gauge pointer was shaking abnormally, the communication indicator light went out completely, and only the green light representing the equipment's operation was flashing faintly.

Sun Yongqiang's face was solemn behind the mask as he made a hand gesture with all his might:

"Danger! Run!"

Ye Tian was instantly pulled back from his X-ray vision state, and the intense dizziness almost made him see black.

But he knew that time was of the essence.

Underwater lie unknown ruins; on the surface, the enemy is clearly identified.

He shook off the dizziness and acted as quickly as possible.

He rushed to the edge of the circular platform, grabbed the small container, and stuffed it into a high-strength sealed bag he was carrying.

Then he picked up the black plate-like object. The strange runes on its surface gave him a tingling sensation, like static electricity, when he touched it. He quickly stuffed it into another sealed bag.

As for the object wrapped in special material, it was too big and too heavy for him to carry away.

"Brother Ye, there's no time, let's go!"

Sun Yongqiang pulled the safety rope urgently, signaling Ye Tian to hurry up and get on board, as the winch on the boat had already begun to reel in the line.

If we don't leave now, it will really be too late!

Ye Tian took one last look at the object he couldn't take with him, then suddenly drew his diving knife from his waist.

By the light of his headlamp, he forcefully carved a symbol into a piece of black bedrock at the edge of the circular platform.

It was a circle with a cross inside, its lines simple and sharp.

It is a communication marker used within the Murong family to indicate the highest priority emergency and to represent a major discovery.

After finishing the last stroke, Ye Tian sheathed the knife and grabbed Sun Yongqiang's outstretched arm.

Without further hesitation, the two kicked their flippers and rose to the surface with all their might.

The safety rope began to be rapidly retrieved, pulling them quickly away from the underwater ruins built of magnetite.

As the light gradually receded into the distance, Ye Tian saw the shadows of countless sunken ships.

They, along with the remaining objects of this underwater ruin, disappeared into the darkness.

The sea above them was no longer the path they had taken, but a battlefield where they were surrounded by the enemy.
