Arriving at the exit, Zhongli judged from the obvious footprints on the ground that the four miners had passed through the Lingju Pass and continued walking forward to leave. The group of people followed the footprints on the ground, but unfortunately the traces disappeared just a short distance away. So Sora suggested asking people nearby.

After all, if miners were passing by, they should be able to see it.

For the sake of efficiency, the five people were divided into three groups. Mr. Zhongli asked an old miner named Yonggui alone. The other man shook his head and answered that he had never seen him before.

Paimon and Wutong asked an adult man who looked like he came from a wealthy and idle family. Paimon also gave the other party a rough idea. There were four of them, such big ones. However, the other party raised his hand impatiently, as if chasing away some small animals, telling them not to disturb him from admiring the floating clouds.

The remaining two people walked farther and came to a trail in the direction where the mark disappeared. Looking at the other person's clothing and the basket on his back, he guessed that he was meeting an herb collector.

Kong asked kindly: "Have you ever seen anyone dressed as a miner around here?"

Xiaoling recalled it and nodded: "Well, it was about four or five days ago. Several people passed by here, carrying baskets on their backs, carrying pickaxes and so on... It's pretty much what you said.

Four or five days ago? It seemed that the four miners were not walking as fast as they thought, probably because they were wasted a lot of time by the terrain of the Spiritual Moment Pass.

But at least they got the news, and the two of them breathed a sigh of relief.

Afterwards, Kong planned to stay and see if he could find out any more detailed clues, while Kunjun went back to call for someone.

"Is there anything strange about them?"

"Oh, yes! It's very strange. The four grown men all look dull, as if they haven't woken up! The child in front is swaying..."

"Then, have you seen that child clearly?"

"Hmm... Let me think about it. I just glanced at her. She has blue hair and is very short. It seems... she seems to be a girl! Also, her expression is very serious and she has no smile at all."

"Is this the path they took?"

"Yeah, keep going straight from here."

......

The two of them just asked and answered questions like this. It didn't take long for them to understand everything they knew and didn't know, as well as the weird and weird things. Kong rubbed his chin and sorted out all the useful information in his mind, waiting for Kun Jun to finish it. After people brought it, they retell it to everyone.

After the three groups of people gathered and unified the clues, they began to continue tracking along the road.

Exiting Lingju Pass, you are at the entrance of Tianqiu Valley.

"There are footprints on the ground... Yeah, there's someone over there!"

He was a step too late to catch Paimon, who flew away alone when he saw something unusual. Wutong was startled, and immediately followed him without thinking too much. As he chased, calls for help came from far and near.

Paimon was very anxious: "Is that the person we are looking for? Rescue him quickly!"

When the two troublemaking little dragon lizards heard the commotion, their eyes tightened, they arched their backs and turned around with their sharp claws raised, but what they saw was a small, unseen flying object. They grinned and were about to go. Rushing over, Wutong clicked his tongue, fearing that the distance between the one-handed sword and the sword was not enough, he simply took out a transformed spear.

After falling short of the distance, the three people who hurriedly came from behind avoided the oncoming slime that was carried away by the spear. After standing still, they looked up and saw Wutong with a murderous aura, facing them sideways, and pointed the tip of the spear. Aiming at the little dragon lizard, which had no power to fight back and was lying on the ground shivering with its head in its hands.

Behind Wutong, there was a female scholar sitting on the ground, her body covered in gray and her face as white as a sheet of paper, and Paimon, who seemed to be able to see his soul floating out of his body, completely stunned.

With a clang, the tip of the thrust spear was nailed to the tail of the little dragon lizard. The too terrifying behavior provoked a scream of stress from the little thing. Perhaps because he found that the pain of missing arms and legs was not felt anywhere in his body, the little dragon lizard opened his eyes tremblingly, only to see the terrifying and gloomy man in front of him, and instead looked elsewhere.

The little dragon lizard raised its claws and took advantage of this unique opportunity to dig a hole and escape at the fastest speed in its life.

Wutong looked back at Kong and Zhongli, glanced at the empty hole beside his feet where the dragon lizard was gone, and with a flick of his index finger, the gun nailed to the ground dispersed like mist.

Returning to his usual calm and gentle demeanor, Wutong picked up Paimon, who was sniffling and frightened next to him, and patted the other person's back to comfort him.

Just now, when one of the dragon lizards took advantage of Paimon to avoid the slime and wanted to take the scholar to a safe place to hide, he dug into the ground and made a sneak attack, almost scratching the little guy who had his back turned and didn't notice. Drenched with blood.

Fortunately, she kept an eye on it and summoned a short knife in time to throw it out, knocking the dragon lizard in the wrong direction.

Just the three deep marks left on the ground still made the two people who noticed the movement and turned around feel their hearts skip a beat.

"...These monsters are so violent that they will notice you just by walking by them. They will pounce on people without saying a word...Thank you, girl, for saving me. Thank you." A woman wearing a dark red work uniform stood up and patted people. He patted his chest, took a long breath to calm down his heartbeat that was beating out of his throat, and quickly bowed to Wutong to say thank you: "My name is Wanyu, I belong to Liyue Shenglu Hall, and I am responsible for the research of cultural monuments."

Paimon, who had already recovered, scratched his head: "Huh? Not a miner..."

"miner?"

"Well, we are looking for miners, four of them in total! They are all tall men with mining tools."

Probably because of the thrilling scene just now, the two of them seemed to have established some kind of lifelong friendship, and they started chatting one by one.

Wanyu thought for a moment, then looked at Paimon in a friendly manner: "I seem to have seen the person you mentioned."

"really?"

"Yes, I set out from Nantianmen the day before yesterday, heading towards Lingju Pass. I met a group of people on the way, a child and a few adults."

"Hmm...can you be more detailed?"

"...Sorry, I was walking in a hurry and couldn't take a closer look. I can't remember the facial features or anything..."

After the two of them finished their exchange, seeing some guilt on Wanyu's face, Zhongli comforted the other person: "That's enough, thank you."

"Really, I hope I can help." Reassured, Wanyu expressed her gratitude to Wutong again, and then because she still had academic meetings to attend, she waved to everyone and took the first step.

Paimeng hugged Wutong's shoulders and neck and looked at Kong happily: "According to the scholar, those people should be heading towards Nantianmen."

Looking at the elf who had forgotten the crisis he just experienced in the blink of an eye, Sora didn't know whether to say it was good or bad, and he hesitated to speak.

"But, are you sure they are the same group of people?" Kun Jun was a little worried.

Paimon thought for a while: "The combination of children and adults is not that common!"

"It's quite common." Sora decided to let the other person have a memory loss by giving him a brain breakdown. Don't leave the two of them alone and run forward. Even if they are caught in a sack, they can't catch up. Fortunately, this is just a small dragon lizard. If it were replaced by some ruins machine or some abyss mage, Paimon would be either 19 or 37 compared to them.

The ruins guard's punch hit the Nine Springs, and the Abyss Mage's three spells hit the Seventh Point.

"Ouch! You...you! Uh...hum!" Paimon covered his forehead, his eyes widened and bulging with anger. However, he felt that he was in the wrong and knew what was causing his brain failure. He groaned for a long time. , turned his head and fell into silence.
