"Youyou, what do you think?" Wan Yexi asked.

As their stay got longer, almost every boulder was observed and studied by them. The investigation team was now gathered together, looking through the information they brought with them and discussing their respective speculations with each other.

As the first person to propose the clue of the seven-pointed star in the ghost ship illusion, Ying Youyou's intelligence and knowledge reserves have been recognized by many people. Wan Ye Xi also set his sights on her and invited her to join the discussion.

"me……"

It was a nervous and honorable thing for her to get the attention of Wan Ye Xi, so even though Ying Youyou's mind was blank at the moment, she still forced herself to come up with an inference.

"I was thinking, maybe... the passage is hidden under one of the boulders, and the other boulders are just a decoy..."

"Huh?" Shi Zhi Meng was surprised. "Obviously, hiding the passage in the middle is the coolest!"

Hotaru's point of view is completely different from Tokieda Yume's impromptu opinion.

"I, I'm just guessing." Ying hurriedly stated her position.

"It's okay. She was just guessing. And I think your guess is more likely." Ivy confirmed.

"Avi..." Ying cast a pitiful look at him again.

"Wan Ye, do you feel that Xiao Wei is targeting me?" Shi Zhi Meng also imitated her and showed a pitiful look.

Wan Yexi was unmoved: "You asked for this."

"Heavy blow!" Shi Zhimeng covered her chest exaggeratedly, "Is there anyone who can pity me..."

There are several strange symbols on the surface of almost every boulder. They are hidden in the deep textures and are difficult to find without careful search.

The expedition team copied down the symbols on each boulder, placed them together, and analyzed their meaning.

They speculated that this might be some kind of writing that contained clues about the treasure.

"Have you noticed that these symbols are highly repetitive?"

Although each boulder is engraved with symbols, and the total number of symbols listed together is large, but excluding the repeated symbols, the remaining symbols that need to be deciphered are not more than ten.

"Maybe they are directional symbols." Ivy guessed, "For example... up and down, front and back, left and right, east and west."

The investigation team also compared these directional texts with each symbol one by one, analyzing their corresponding meanings.

"One stone points to another stone, and the stone it ultimately points to is the location of the treasure," Ivy continued.

Ying heard again that Ivy was making inferences based on her conjecture, and suddenly became even more embarrassed: "Is it really like this? What if I was wrong from the beginning..."

Ivy shook her head and looked at her firmly: "Be confident. I agree with your inference."

"Yes, yes, don't feel pressured! If you guess wrong, just overturn it and start over. This is the fun of reasoning!" Shizhi Meng also patted her shoulder, trying to dispel her anxiety, "Although I haven't given up my point of view, maybe the last stone is pointing to the center!"

"what……"

Ignoring the second half of Tokieda Meng's sentence, Hotaru did relax a little.

According to Ivy's conjecture, the investigation team matched the directions with the symbols and began to walk along the Stonehenge. If the direction matched correctly, they would give the symbols the correct meaning. If the direction was wrong, they would change the corresponding text.

The final deciphering went smoothly. If one of the directions is taken as the north, the deciphering results are southeast, south-west, south, north-east...

Directional symbols like these.

The last boulder it pointed to had symbols engraved on it that were completely different from the others.

"Maybe it means the end." Ying blurted out again, her brain getting hot.

The investigation team actually gave the last set of symbols the meaning of "end point".

They gathered around the final boulder, looking left and right.

"It seems there is no mechanism?" Shi Zhimeng looked around for a while but didn't see any special hidden elements.

"Could I have guessed wrong?" Ying was a little flustered again.

"It's a good thing there's no mechanism!" Shi Zhimeng was very excited, "I can try to dig it out now!"

It sounds like she has been wanting to dig this land for a long time.

There seems to be no other solution at the moment.

"Don't dig elsewhere." Wan Yexi warned her.

"Okay! I'll pretend that there are bombs buried in other places and I won't dig too far!"

With permission, Tokieda Meng could finally roll up her sleeves and dig hard.

The other members of the expedition team originally wanted to help. After all, it was really unreasonable to let the employer do such dirty and tiring work himself, but Tokieda Meng refused all of them and threatened that no one could stop her.

"Has Senior Shi accumulated some kind of pressure?" Ying suddenly had another guess and asked fearfully, "Or does Senior Shi want to personally deny my guess? Prove that the key is not under the last stone?"

"She's not that boring." Ivy gestured to Ying and reassured her, "I guess the resonance of the key is right below, so she wants to be the first to find the treasure. Let's not compete with her for it."

"Will I really guess it?"

Ying still felt like she was dreaming.

Time passed minute by minute, and a high pile of earth had been piled up nearby. Most of Tokie Meng's body was in the pit, and the resonance of the key seemed to be getting stronger and stronger.

All members of the expedition team were waiting anxiously. After more than ten days of sea voyage, they were about to reach the end.

Finally, there was a crisp sound, and the excavation tool seemed to hit something.

Shi Zhimeng then sped up the digging and quickly dug out the thing.

The others stood quietly by and did not make any noise to disturb them.

Time was pregnant with good news. The girl breathed softly, sweat dripped down her forehead, and a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

“Found it——!!!”

Tokieda Meng held up the opened treasure chest box, and the key inside was shining in the sunlight.

The last key is in hand!

"yeah!!"

The crowd cheered loudly and huddled together excitedly, feeling extremely excited.

The adventure came to a perfect end. I believe this experience will be remembered in everyone's heart and become a beautiful memory.

Ying was also very happy. This day was like a dream, as if it was her lucky day.

"Could it be that I am... actually an archaeological genius?" Ying had another reasonable illusion.

Ivy looked at her happy expression and resisted the urge to throw cold water on her.

"Sometimes, you can trust your instincts."

“I will trust my instincts in the future!”

……

"Don't get too cocky." Finally, Ivy couldn't help but remind him, "Your luck will run out."

"Oh, okay." Ying replied with a smile again.
