Qi Tongwei waited patiently until they left the cabin, then he quietly entered the cabin to check the detailed information on the map. Inside the cabin, he found a hidden bookshelf with a secret compartment behind it, which contained several ancient scrolls and some copper coins. He did not fully recognize the words on the scrolls, but they seemed to involve some ancient magic and precious treasures.

"It seems that these people come here not only to survive, but may have other purposes." Qi Tongwei whispered to himself.

At this moment, footsteps were heard outside the door. Qi Tongwei quickly closed the door of the secret compartment and hid behind the bookshelf. Several people walked into the wooden house. One of them was a young man holding a bag of herbs, seemingly looking for something.

"Brother Li said that we must find the herbs here as soon as possible." The young man said to himself, "If we can't find these herbs, the wounded won't be able to get treatment."

Qi Tongwei's mind was moved. It turned out that these people were not only looking for resources, but also treating the wounded. He decided to take the opportunity to learn more information, perhaps to find an opportunity to cooperate with them.

He quietly came out from behind the bookshelf, walked to the window of the wooden house, and saw the young man busy sorting herbs. Qi Tongwei quickly slipped out of the window and returned to Xiaolu.

"Xiaolu, the situation is a bit complicated." Qi Tongwei briefly reported what he saw, "They are not only looking for water sources, they also have other plans."

"It seems that we need to further understand the motives of these people." Xiaolu thought, "Have you found any useful information?"

"I found that they seemed to be looking for an ancient treasure or magic." Qi Tongwei said, "Also, there are injured people in their camp, which may affect their actions."

"Then we can take advantage of their weakness." Xiaolu suggested, "If we can help them heal the wounded, maybe we can exchange them for some intelligence or resources."

Qi Tongwei nodded: "That's a good idea. We can try to contact them, but we must be careful and ensure our own safety."

So they decided to take action and quietly approached the camp with some herbs and food. In order to avoid arousing suspicion, they chose a hidden path and went around to the other side of the camp. Xiaolu took out the herbs and food, and Qi Tongwei prepared some simple medical supplies.

When they approached the camp, a young man was sitting in front of the wooden house, looking very tired. Qi Tongwei walked up to him and pretended to be a vendor: "Friends, you look like you need help. I have some herbs and food here that may be able to help you."

The young man looked at them, seemed a little hesitant, but finally nodded: "Thank you, these things are really needed here. We have encountered many difficulties recently."

"Xiao Lu, go talk to Brother Li." Qi Tongwei whispered to Xiao Lu, "I will stay and talk to them."

Xiaolu nodded and walked to the center of the camp to look for Brother Li. At the same time, Qi Tongwei chatted with the young man to learn about their situation.

"We are looking for an ancient treasure," the young man said bitterly, "but the environment here is too harsh, and there are more and more wounded. We really need help."

"I understand your situation," Qi Tongwei said gently, "My partner and I are willing to help you, but we hope you can tell us more information to help us understand your goal."

The young man hesitated for a moment, but finally told the truth: "Our goal is to find an ancient relic that contains an ancient magic that can bring great power. But this place is very secret and can only be found through special clues."

Soon after, Xiaolu returned and reached an agreement with Brother Li, who agreed to share some information and allow them to rest temporarily in the camp.

"Your help is indeed timely." Brother Li said, "However, we need more help with clues about the ancient ruins. Can you help us find this ruins?"

Qi Tongwei nodded: "We are willing to cooperate, but before that, we need to ensure the safety and trust of both parties."

Brother Li looked at him deeply, as if he was weighing something, and finally nodded: "Okay, we can cooperate. As long as you can help us find the ruins, we will do our best to help."

In the next few days, Qi Tongwei and Xiaolu were busy in the camp, helping the wounded to recover, looking for herbs, and also getting more information about the ancient ruins from Brother Li and other men. They found that the ruins were hidden in a very secret mountain forest and could only be found through ancient symbols and clues.

"We already have some clues, but we need further confirmation," said Brother Li. "These symbols involve ancient knowledge, so we need to study them carefully."

Qi Tongwei nodded: "We will do our best to assist you. But please remember that cooperation is a two-way street. We hope that this cooperation will be beneficial to both parties."

In the following days, they studied the ancient symbols together and gradually uncovered the secrets of the ruins. Although the process was difficult, through cooperation, they gradually approached the true location of the ruins. Finally, they found a hidden cave. The entrance of the cave was covered by thick vines, but the ancient atmosphere inside was overwhelming.

"We finally found it." Brother Li said excitedly, "This is the ruins we have been looking for."

Deep in the cave, the dark and humid air hits you in the face, and the weak light casts a dark spot through the cave entrance. Qi Tongwei and Xiaolu followed Brother Li and his team and carefully stepped into this mysterious ancient relic.

"Everyone, be careful. The terrain here is complicated. Don't take it lightly." Brother Li warned, and the torch in his hand dispelled the darkness around him and brought out a bright light.

Qi Tongwei held a torch and walked cautiously in front of the team. His sword was hung on his waist, ready to deal with any possible danger. Xiaolu followed closely behind him, holding a small bag full of herbs and food.

The terrain inside the cave was intricate, with cracks in the stone walls and deep pits. There were also some vague ancient symbols engraved on the rock walls, and the flickering firelight cast strange shadows on these symbols.

"These symbols seem to be related to the ruins we are looking for." Brother Li observed the symbols as he walked, with a hint of excitement in his tone.
