Give Star Iron a little MC shock

As he spoke, March 7 followed Xing He's example and placed the small wooden boat in the path the three were taking.

The two running in front couldn't brake in time and accidentally stepped on the wooden boat. The next second, they both sat down on it.

The person running at the back saw this scene and immediately stopped, looking at Xing He and the other two with a hint of fear, and swallowed hard.

"What have you done?!"

As he spoke, he backed away, afraid that he might accidentally touch the wooden boat and suffer the same fate.

However, as soon as he stepped back, he suddenly realized that his perspective had lowered. Looking down, he was shocked to find that he had somehow ended up in another wooden boat, and a long spear was thrust out from behind him and pressed against his throat.

"You lost."

Dan Heng glanced coldly at the group of people a few times, then put away his spear.

Seele looked at Xing He, who had also put away his weapon, with some surprise: "You're not going to kill us?"

Xing He glanced at her: "We have no grudges against each other, and we have no conflict of interest. Why would we kill you? We are just trying to let you know that if we want to harm you, you have no way to resist."

March 7th stood beside him, nodding her little head in agreement: "Mmm~ So, miss, can you listen to us properly now?"

After a long silence, Seele looked up and asked, "What are you trying to say?"

March 7th crossed his arms in an annoyed tone: "Of course I want to tell you that we are not from the so-called Upper District you mentioned. We have already said that we are from the Star Train, from outside this planet."

"Beyond the planet...?"

Seeing Xi'er's confused look, Xing He turned to March 7 and reminded her, "Take out your photos and show them to her, otherwise I don't think she'll believe it."

"Oh! Right! I almost forgot about that."

March 7th hurriedly pulled out his camera from his pocket, retrieved the photos of Aril that he had taken on the train, and handed them to Seele.

"This snow-white sphere...is it our planet?"

Although this was beyond Seele's common sense, the other party had already presented the evidence, and they did indeed possess a level of force that they could not resist, and they did not kill them because of their misunderstanding.

Based on these circumstances, it's safe to say that at least these three people don't have any malicious intent.

"Although I cannot be sure whether you are really from outer space, I believe you have no ill intentions, and I apologize for my previous recklessness."

Seele sincerely lowered her head and apologized to the three of them.

"As long as you know."

Xing He turned to look at March 7th and Dan Heng, and seeing that they both nodded, he stepped forward and knocked the wooden boat away, and Xi'er and the other three regained their freedom.

Xi'er rubbed her thigh and looked at the mini wooden boat that Xing He was holding, and couldn't help but exclaim, "What an amazing thing! How did you do that?"

"Trade secrets."

Xing He didn't intend to explain this troublesome issue, but he suddenly smiled and said, "Of course, if you are willing to offer emeralds, I would be happy to trade with you."

"Emeralds...we'll provide them if needed."

Whether it's emeralds or any other gemstones, they are extremely rare in the lower tiers, so Seele naturally couldn't produce them.

“Please come with me, the three of you. This is not the place to talk. I will take you to another place to stay first, and then we can have a proper discussion about the purpose of your visit to the lower district.”

Xing He and the other two naturally had no objections and followed Xi'er and the others into the town center, stopping in front of a clinic.

Seele turned to her three subordinates and whispered a few words to them. The three nodded and quickly left. Then Seele turned back to greet them.

"Please come in with me, the three of you. This is the only clinic in the lower district, and it is run by Dr. Natasha."

The three followed Xi'er into the clinic and saw a woman in white busy among several patients.

"Sister Natasha."

Seele called out softly, and the woman in white quickly looked up in their direction.

"Wait a moment while I finish treating this patient's condition."

After a while, Natasha came over looking tired. Although she looked very tired, she still gave the group a gentle smile.

"These people look unfamiliar. Are they your new friends, Seele?"

Seele shook her head and then nodded: "We've only known each other for a short time. By the way, Natasha, could you take a look at these photos for me and see if they're real?"

In front of Xing He and the others, Xier handed the photo that March 7th had given her to Natasha.

Seele then turned to the three and explained, "I'm sorry, I've been in the Lower Zone since I was born, so I don't really understand those strange things. Besides, as a member of the Earthfire, it's my responsibility to protect the Lower Zone, and I can't easily trust you all."

Xing He waved his hand: "It's alright."

Anyway, these photos are all real.

After glancing at the contents of the photo, Natasha nodded to Seele.

“Seele, based on my understanding of history, these people may indeed be extraterrestrials.”

Chapter Twenty-Seven: An Old Friend, the Cave Spider!

"You really are from outer space... How amazing."

Seele stared at Xing He and the others with an expression as if they were aliens, although to Seele they were indeed aliens.

After returning the photos to March 7th, Natasha asked with some confusion, "You gentlemen have come from beyond the heavens, is there anything I can do for you?"

Dan Heng briefly explained the matter of the star core and the rift to Natasha.

After listening, Natasha looked enlightened: "You plan to contain the star core and save this planet?"

"Why?" Seele didn't understand why anyone would be willing to risk their life to help others.

“You might need a reason to harm someone, but what reason do you need to save someone?” Xing He retorted.

Before he transmigrated, in his world there were many heroes who would voluntarily help others without asking for anything in return.

If I had to give a reason, perhaps it would be that they wanted to help?

Natasha and Seele fell silent. Xing He's words had a huge impact on the latter.

In this resource-scarce lower-class area, few people are willing to selflessly help others.

Natasha smiled apologetically at the group: "Thank you, but I'm sorry, we don't know what [Star Core] is."

Natasha's words did not disappoint Xing He and the other two too much, as they had already prepared themselves for setbacks in the early stages.

After all, the [Star Core] is known as the cancer of all worlds. It's normal for Seele, who is even unfamiliar with the concept of a planet, not to know about the [Star Core].

"It's already this late..."

Seele suddenly noticed the clock on the wall; it was getting late.

"I'm sorry, Natasha, could you please settle these three in first? I need to go out on patrol. Lately, some strange monsters have been appearing at night, and we can't afford to have any more people get hurt."

"Okay, you go ahead. I'll take care of these three guests."

Seele apologized to the three of them and promised to help search for relevant clues before hurriedly leaving.

After Seele left, Dan Heng couldn't help but ask Natasha, "Excuse me, could the monsters Seele mentioned be the Rift creatures that appeared in the Rift?"

Natasha shook her head and said with a wry smile, "If it were just Rift creatures, it would be fine. After all, we have been fighting against them for countless years and are already very familiar with their habits and attack methods. What makes Seele so anxious are some other special monsters that have only appeared recently."

"Special monster?"

Natasha's words puzzled the three of them. Could it be that the star core had induced some kind of special variant?

“You might not understand just by talking, so come with me.”

Natasha suddenly turned and walked towards a door inside the clinic. The three of them exchanged a glance and followed her.

The three followed Natasha through a narrow corridor to the room at the far end, where Natasha stopped at the door.

"You can get closer to look, but whatever you do, don't open this door."

Only after Natasha's reminder did the three of them notice that the innermost door was tightly bound with chains.

Fortunately, there was a glass window in the door that allowed people to observe what was happening inside.

On March 7th, she curiously peered over and saw a pair of scarlet eyes staring intently at her in the dark room. The next moment, with a squeak, a black shadow about half the size of a person pounced over.

"Whoa!"

Startled, March 7th fell into Xing He's arms, her face pale as she pointed at the glass window.

"Wow, what a huge spider!"

"It's just a spider, what are you afraid of?"

Xing He chuckled and helped her straighten up. San Yueqi patted her chest, still shaken, and said with embarrassment and annoyance, "Isn't it normal for a beautiful girl to be afraid of bugs!"

While the two were talking, Dan Heng also moved closer and looked into the eyes of the spider, which was about half the size of a human, through a glass window.

"Its body is dark green, and it has only one pair of compound eyes. I've never seen this type of spider in the think tank. Could it really be a special variant spawned by the star core?"

Natasha sighed with a worried expression and added, "A while ago, a large number of these strange spiders appeared in the mine where the workers were working. Everyone who was bitten by them was poisoned, and I still can't cure this peculiar poison."

"Moreover, we have no idea where these spiders came from. Last night, one of them suddenly appeared in my room. Fortunately, Seele was there at the time, otherwise the entire clinic would probably have been in trouble."

"Thanks to it, all the medicines in this room are unusable."

Xing He, who was listening nearby, was a little curious: "Let me see what's going on."

Dan Heng made way, and Xing He moved closer. But after just one glance at the dark green spider, Xing He took a step back in surprise.

"Holy crap, a cave spider?!"

The three of them were all taken aback when they heard Xing He's words.

Natasha quickly asked, "Sir, do you recognize this kind of spider?"

Xing He stared at the cave spider in front of him through a glass panel, and nodded with a very strange expression on his face.

"Well, it's an old friend of mine, but something's not right. It shouldn't be here."
