"Ahem, let's keep moving forward." Yu gritted his teeth and continued to lead the way despite everyone's strange looks.

"I'm lost..." Yu muttered to himself as he stared at the train of thought in front of him.

"Sister Ji Zi...what should I do if I lose Xing..." Yu turned around and asked Ji Zi for help.

"Do you want us to go back and look for it again?" Ji Zi was also a little helpless. How fast were they digging at that time? They had dug out everything in the time it took them to talk.

"Not really. I noticed that the cave entrance we came to wasn't going in circles. It was divided into several independent paths." Walter also came over and expressed his opinion.

"I'm sorry... Sister Jizi, I actually lost Xing a long time ago."

"When we went down to dig, we accidentally got separated. I came up to you just to see who could take the blame for me..." Yu touched his head embarrassedly.

"..."

"..."

The two looked at each other, their emotions becoming even more complicated... How could there be someone born like this?

Ji Zi grabbed his ear, feeling a bit upset, and said, "Why didn't you say it earlier?"

"I'm sorry, I wanted to ask Uncle Yang for help at that time... but I forgot about it when I came up." Yu closed one eye and held Ji Zi's hand and begged for mercy.

"..."

How can you be so selfish? How were you born like this? You ask me for help and then blame me for losing the star, right? You really are Uncle Yang's good son!

Walter took a few sharp breaths to steady himself, and said, “It’s useless to say so much now, let’s find a way to get out first.”

"Okay, no problem. Just follow me closely. I'm super fast." Yu heard Uncle Yang defending himself and quickly asked Ji Zi to let go of his ear.

As if to make up for his mistake, Yu used extra strength this time.

The Pioneer Star's Perspective

"I say, should we go pick up Uncle Yang and the others first?" Xing asked breathlessly, holding his waist.

"Why don't you speak?" Xing wondered why he didn't respond to her.

She turned around and was stunned. She was left alone. "Fuck! Where are you?"

Xing threw away the shovel and walked back in the direction he came from.

"Did I dig so many holes?" Xing muttered to himself, staring at the three holes in front of him.

Xing didn't care where she was and kept running towards the back, but unfortunately she ran back to where the shovel was.

"I'm not going to be trapped to death here, am I?" Xingbai lay down on the ground and muttered to himself as he looked up at the darkness above.

She suddenly stood up as she remembered something. "If I dig up the earth's marrow, wouldn't it all belong to me? I don't have to share it with Yu, who has a poor sense of direction."

"Okay!!! Let's dig first!" She suddenly plucked up her energy and continued digging forward.

Somewhere in the administrative district

"Sister, why do we have to bring food to brother? Can't he come back and eat by himself?" The little blonde girl in a white hat complained to the trendy beauty next to her who also had blonde hair but with blue tails.

"Your brother is just busy. He has nothing to do but he has to find work for himself, right, brother?" The fashionable beauty first teased Jeppard and then handed him a lunch box.

"Sister, this is really work. Someone dug a big hole near the cable car in the lower area, and we still don't know where it leads to." Jeppard didn't dare to disobey Shiluwa's words, so he had to listen to them scolding him helplessly.

"A big hole? We can go in and have some adventure." Lingke, the girl in the white hat, thought secretly in her heart.

Jeppard saw his sister's eyes rolling around and he knew what she was up to. "Wu I7 Ba Ba Ming (Seven) Liu Yao Lingbao, the whole place is blocked by the Silver Mane Iron Guards. They are not allowed to even get close."

"I know. There's no need to emphasize it to me again." Lingke didn't get angry when her thoughts were exposed. She would have to go in and take a look sooner or later anyway.

"Okay, you continue with your work. Lingbao and I will go back to the machinery room first." After delivering the meal, Xiluwa was about to leave.

"Boom!" The ground suddenly collapsed under the feet of Shiluwa and Lingke, and they fell straight into the hole.

"Sister, Lingke!" When Jeppard saw them fall in, he was so frightened that he threw away his lunch box and jumped in a few steps.

Ashes were flying in the foggy air and nothing could be seen.

"Cough cough cough, Lingbao, where are you? Are you okay?" Shiluwa fell and broke her waist. She endured the pain and called out to her sister who fell with her in the gray air.

"Sister, I'm here, I'm fine." A voice came from the distance.

"Ahem, Lingke, don't move, I'll come find you." Shiluwa held her waist and walked towards Lingke's voice.

"Crack, clatter!"

Suddenly, sand and stones began to fall on Shilua's head again. Just when they were about to hit Shilua, fortunately, Jeppard rushed over and hugged his sister Wu Yinoqi's father 8 years old wife Lu 1 so that she was not hit.

"Sister, you didn't get hit, did you?" Jeppard shook his head at the stone above and asked his sister in his arms.

"Brother, go and see Lingke." She didn't care about her own body. When Shiluwa saw Jeppard coming down, she urged him to go and see Lingke anxiously.

"I understand." Jeppard carried Shiluwa on his back and walked in the direction she pointed.

Chapter 73: Lower Level District Team Building

"Lingke, where are you?" Shiluwa grabbed Jeppard's hair and controlled him.

"I'm here!"

"Left, hurry up!" Shiluwa shouted anxiously. Seeing that Jeppard was walking too slowly, she couldn't help but pull his hair.

"Sister, we have to be careful with such a big cave appearing out of nowhere." Jeppard closed his eyes in pain and begged his sister to be gentle with his hair.

"That's your sister! You don't even know if she's in danger, yet you're still dawdling here." Shiluwa's beautiful eyes widened as she scolded him non-stop.

"Oh..." Jeppard just felt aggrieved when facing the scolding from his sister.

"It's not like she's not leaving, really. Why is she becoming more and more unreasonable?" Jeppard thought secretly but didn't dare to say it out loud.

As the two of them went deeper, Lingke's figure could be vaguely seen.

"Lingbao, are you okay?" When Shiluwa saw Lingke, she jumped off Jeppard's back in a hurry, grabbed her shoulders and looked at her carefully to see if she was injured.

"Sister, I'm fine." Ling Ke struggled out of her hands uncomfortably, then pulled them both towards the back with an excited look on her face.

"I found savages! I guess this must be the gathering place of savages." Lingke said with a happy face.

"Savage?" Jeppard frowned and realized that the matter was not simple.

"Look! It's right there. I planted it in the ground because I was afraid it would run away." Ling Ke said, pointing to the strange mound in front of her with only a head.

Shiluwa walked forward boldly and looked at the head carefully.

"Isn't this the group of outsiders? I remember her name seemed to be Xing... yes, Xing." Xiluwa looked at the gray-haired girl and remembered the chaos that had occurred in the administrative district before.

"Isn't this a savage?" Ling Ke was a little frustrated.

"Lingbao, she was with that Yu before, and she is not a savage." Xiluwa touched Lingke's head helplessly to comfort her.

"Don't just stand there, dig her out quickly. Why do you want me to dig her out?" Shiluwa put her hands on her hips and shouted at Jeppard.

"Sister, why are you so angry today?" Jeppard complained as he walked forward and started digging at the pile of dirt.

Jeppard felt very strange. Why was his sister so angry today? He was originally thinking about how to deal with this wanted criminal, but his sister came up and scolded him. Could it be that she was having her period?

"Hurry up! We can't afford to offend that group of people." Seeing that his younger brother dared to refute him, Shiluwa glared at Jeppard and slapped him on the head.

"Hiss! It hurts!" Jeppard scratched his head without feeling anything, while Shiluwa gasped in pain.

As expected of the guardian boss, he has a strong body!

Jeppard dug her out in a few strokes with the shovel beside him, and then Shiluwa dragged her out of the pit, knelt on the ground and lifted Xing's head onto her legs.

"Sister...they are wanted criminals designated by the Great Guardian..." Jeppard looked at the dirty stars on the ground, opened his mouth and whispered these words.

"I'm your sister, but you don't listen to me and instead listen to that old woman Cocolia?" Shiluwa looked up at Jeppard with a slightly gloomy expression.

"Sister... no... okay, okay, I won't say anything anymore. I'll listen to you." Jeppard took a few steps back helplessly and stopped arguing with her.

"Hmm...where is this? Why am I dizzy?" Xing finally woke up, sat up and rubbed his eyes.

"You're finally awake. Are you alone?" Xiluwa straightened Xing's body and asked her softly.

"It's you, Shiluwa...how did you get down here?" Xing was stunned when he saw Shiluwa, and then he was ecstatic. He had been digging the road for so long and finally found Beloberg.

"Shouldn't I be the one asking you? Why are you digging a hole here?" Xiluwa asked with a confused and surprised look on her face.

Didn't they run to the lower area? Why are they digging a hole here?

It would have been fine if she hadn't asked. Xingyi suddenly laughed nervously when she thought about it.

"Hahaha, that bastard!!! We agreed to dig up the earth's marrow and sell it for money, so I followed him to the snowy plains. I don't know what he did to bring that woman Cocolia over there."

"This is nothing."

"This bastard actually lost it while digging, hahahaha."

"..."

"..."

The two looked at each other, and looking at Xing who was laughing heartily, they knew who the dog was without having to think.

"The Great Guardian was taken to the snowfield?" Jeppard frowned and thought secretly about this sentence.

Xing restrained her smile and said, "If I hadn't met you, I would have been trapped and died in this underground."

"What are you going to do now? Can you contact them?" Ling Ke asked expressionlessly.

Ling Ke just felt a little regretful that she wasn't a savage.

"I want to go back to the lower area. My other companions are there." Xing thought about it and decided to go find Dan Heng, San Yueqi and the others.

"How are you going to get down?"

"Ayu said he dug a hole next to the cable car that leads directly to the lower area. Can you take me to the cable car?" Xing pondered for a moment and finally told the location.

"So it was you who dug that hole." Jeppard suddenly realized that everything made sense. They dug that hole to go to the lower area to avoid the search of the Silver Mane Iron Guards.

"Let's go up first and talk about the rest later." Jeppard suggested.

"Okay, you won't arrest me, right?" Xing suddenly reacted and looked at the three people with some vigilance.

Jeppard sighed under the threat of his sister's gaze, "I won't catch you. I will go with you to the lower district. Lady Bronya has been designated as the next Grand Guardian. I must find her quickly and ensure her safety."

Xing withdrew his vigilant gaze and followed the three people to crawl to the ground.

"The air here is still comfortable. I will never dig a hole in the damn underground again." Feeling the cold air blowing in his face, Xing shivered comfortably.

Xing opened her eyes, glanced at what Jeppard was holding, and asked, "What are you doing with that crappy shovel?"

"Is this thing yours? This shovel is very fast for digging things." After hearing what Xing said, Jeppard handed over the shovel.

"Hey!! This thing was taken out by Ayu. I heard it has some efficiency enchantment. I don't understand it, so I'll give it to you." Xing didn't take it but kicked it with a look of disgust.

"Really? Thank you so much." Jeppard picked it up happily. With this thing, it would at least be much easier to dig things.

"Come on, I'll take you to the cable car that leads to the lower area."

The three of them led Xing to a place where they were stopped by a group of iron guards.

"Snap! Chief Jeppard!"

Chapter 74 Mother Bears the Pressure

Several people walked to the front of the defense line, and one of the Silver Mane Iron Guards saluted Jeppard.

"Well, thank you for your hard work! I'm going to go in and tell the guards to disperse." Jeppard instructed him.

"Yes!" The Iron Guard saluted and trotted to give orders to the gathered Iron Guards. Soon they all dispersed.

"Is this the hole you were talking about? Isn't it a little small?"

Ling Ke pointed at the hole in front of her that could barely accommodate one person and asked curiously.

"Should it be, right?" Xing raised her arm, touched her chin and looked at the hole... She was also a little unsure.

"Don't just stand there. No matter whether it's true or not, we have to go down and take a look to find out, right?" Xiluwa showed a hearty smile and prepared to jump.

Jeppard was stunned for a moment after seeing this, then he stepped forward, grabbed her arm, and asked suspiciously, "Are you going down too?"

"What are you talking about?" Shiluwa turned around and pushed Jeppard away, saying unhappily, "You're still worried about your sister. When I was a Silvermane Iron Guard, you were still studying at home."

"You know that's not what I meant. According to the Iron Guards who delivered the supplies, the lower area is in chaos right now, and my mission is to find Lady Bronya. The fewer people there are, the more convenient it will be." Jeppard persuaded earnestly.

"Hey! Brother, why are you so rigid? There's nothing wrong as long as Youyu and his companions are here." Shiluwa ignored him and jumped in.

"Okay, okay." Seeing that persuasion was useless, Jeppard let her do as she pleased.
