“Captain, there’s an underground river about two-thousand meters down from here. The river water is hot, almost boiling. There’re many caves on both sides of the river. Sea City Base people have gone into one of those caves,” the man reported to her.

Xie Longyun immediately waved at the people behind her and said, “We’ll get down when you are ready.”

“Yes, ma’am!”

She had completely no idea that an enormous, red figure was hiding behind her and her people, looking at them curiously with a pair of large, round eyes. As they all jumped into the crevice, the red figure slowly approached the area.

The red cat was enormous, but its six feet actually caused no sound when it was walking.

By the edge of the crevice, it leaned its head forward to look down and then looked around. After that, it made a step toward the left side and moved to the upper stream of the river.

Meanwhile, Lin Qiao and her people kept moving forward. Soon, the tunnel split into two parts; lying before them was a fork road.

Lin Qiao raised a hand to signal for the others to stop as she started observing both the two roads. The road on the left side was relatively wide and seemed nothing different from the part of the tunnel behind them. Meanwhile, the road on the right side was narrow, and from it came a strange, fishy type of smell.

Lin Qiao thought for a moment and decided to choose the broader way to go.

“We’re already over four-thousand meters deep underground, but we still haven’t found a trace of those creatures. They don’t live in the layer of lava, do they?” Kong Qingming stayed by Long Qingying’s side as he looked around and said.

Lin Qiao turned back and gave Lei Cheng a glance before moving forward, and also asking him a question, “What did you guys find underground?”

Lei Cheng, who had been expressionless the whole time, responded to her with, “We found a type of plant growing under rocks, about three-thousand and six-hundred meters deep. Its leaves were as hard as metal. It drilled out from under the rocks and even pushed the rocks to the side.”

On hearing that, Lin Qiao stopped walking and turned to him as she asked, “Did you bring the plant back to your base for study?”

“Yes,” Lei Cheng nodded and said, “But, we haven’t figured out its composition yet.”

Lin Qiao turned back and kept moving forward while saying, “You guys encountered danger at only about three-thousand meters deep. Why haven’t we met any creature yet?”

Lei Cheng corrected her, “The altitude in the Northwest is higher than here. If compared with this place, we actually found those plants about two-thousand and eight-hundred meters underground.”

“So, you guys had a situation at such shallow depth, but we have to go further deep here.” While walking, Lin Qiao found that the ground had started inclining.

“We can easily get lost this way. We don’t know how deep that underground space is yet,” Duan Juan left marks all the way while talking to the others worriedly. She understood that there was no better way though. After saying that, she sighed, “If only we had a guide, so we wouldn’t need to spend so much time searching.”

“A guide? Where can you find an underground resident to guide your way? It might eat you before you ask!” Kong Qingming said to her with laughter.

Duan Juan gave him a glare and said, “I was just saying. Couldn’t you tell that?”

Kong Qingming could, of course, tell that she was just saying for the sake of it. But now, he had to pretend that he wasn’t aware of that. “Oh, really?” He said, “I didn’t know. I thought you really want to find an underground creature and make it our guide! If you intend to do that, you need to find one that’s actually from here. If you make one of those gorillas who live near your base guide us here, it’ll probably take us wandering around in this place.”

Duan Juan didn’t know what to say. He was right; if she really intended to find a guide, she would need to find a creature that actually lived in that area.

As she didn’t manage to win the argument with Kong Qingming, she instantly grew unhappy. Since she wasn’t happy, she didn’t intend to let him be happy either. So, she reached out and pulled Long Qingying, who was quietly walking side by side with Kong Qingming, to her own side and said, “Qingying, you see, this man couldn’t even tell what I really meant. You never like talking. It’s impossible for him to understand you, right? I don’t think you two are suitable for each other. Why don’t you find someone who really understands you?”

Kong Qingming popped his eyes and stared at Duan Juan in shock.

At that moment, Li Zheng walked over and patted Kong Qingming on the shoulder, “Don’t mess with women. They are strong creatures who bleed for five or six days without dying every single month. You can never know what a woman is thinking. Do not displease them!”

After saying that, he returned to his team with a gloating smile.

Long Qingying gave Kong Qingming a glance as she nodded and said to Duan Juan, “Hm, I’ll think about it.”

“No, no, no! She’s not gonna think about that! She doesn’t even need to talk to me now, because I always know exactly what she’s thinking about. She can communicate with me smoothly without doing much talking! I think you should really find someone who understands you and get married as soon as possible! Don’t try to ruin someone else’s relationship!” Kong Qingming hurriedly moved to Long Qingying and held her hand before dragging her back to his side. After that, he complained to Duan Juan.

“I don’t need that. I’m perfect being single. Being free is so great. Why would I want a man to annoy me? Qingying, maybe you don’t feel annoyed by him yet, but I’m telling you, you will at some point,” Duan Juan said with a cold smile before turning away.

Kong Qingming said, “You think that way because you haven’t found the right person. Our brother Licheng is a great guy. Why don’t you think about giving him a chance? After all, you two see each other a lot, and you’ve been doing similar jobs. He should be able to understand you.”

Kong Qingming brought Xiao Licheng, who stayed on the earth’s surface, into the conversation.

At that moment, the latter was in his office, preparing materials for Wu Chengyue, when he suddenly gave a loud sneeze.

“Ah… Choo!”

The guard by his door was startled by that loud sneeze. He stuck his head in from behind the door and gave Xiao Licheng a glance before turning back. The latter rubbed his nose and murmured, “Who’s talking about me behind my back?”

He couldn’t possibly catch a cold anyway. As a level-six superpower possessor, he wouldn’t get any small diseases like that. So, the first idea that popped into his mind was that some people were talking about him behind his back.
