Star Iron: I, who forged my own armor by hand, ascended to the cycle of reincarnation.

Sambo froze, his face full of helplessness. "I just overheard something incredible."

"But since my friend has said so, I, Old Sangbo, will naturally do my best." Saying this, Sangbo recalled how Chen Jie had just been checking his pockets as if to confirm something, and his face immediately paled.

"Don't worry, Old Sambo, I've got a tight seal. Guys, follow me."

Sambo's change in attitude led Xing to inexplicably admire Dust Calamity.

"Why is Chen Jie so obedient?"

Chen Jie glanced at Xing, who was holding a baseball bat in one hand and a torch in the other, then took the torch and discarded it.

"We don't need torches anymore; we can see clearly now."

"As for your question, please forgive me for not being able to explain it for now; you will understand someday."

"Uh-huh," March 7th, who was about to say something, gave an awkward laugh upon hearing Chen Jie's response.

She had intended to tell Xing beforehand, but she hadn't expected Chen Jie to teach her this way.

"Sambo, won't you tell us where we are right now?"

Danheng gripped the Jiyun sword, silently watching Sangbo's retreating figure as he walked ahead.

Sambo didn't even need to turn around to know what was happening behind him, and he gave a polite smile, even though they couldn't see him.

"Ah, we're currently on the edge of a large mining area. Uh, this place might be a bit chaotic, so just stick close to me."

Chapter 37 Refugees

Just as the group was moving forward, three people suddenly appeared from some obscure corner and blocked their path.

"Halt! Who are you! What are you doing here!"

"Are you an idiot? Why are you asking these questions? Judging by their clothes, they probably ran away from the upper city. They're probably carrying a lot of good stuff."

"Hmph! Second brother is smarter. Third brother, you better learn from him. You guys, hand over all your valuables, or don't blame us for being greedy with what we have!"

Sambo shrugged helplessly. "Looks like my luck wasn't very good; I got caught."

Dust Tribulation, on the other hand, was assessing the other party's situation.

His clothes were patched, tattered, and filthy; even the weapon he was holding was full of holes, probably a piece of junk he'd picked up somewhere.

No, not necessarily. There are no supplies in the lower city, so these weapons might even fall into the category of "usable."

"Hey! You guys have hands and feet, all healthy limbs, how are you going to be robbers if you don't work hard?" March 7th retorted angrily, but this only elicited laughter from him.

"Hahaha, third brother, look at this fair-skinned, naive girl, she even asked us why we became robbers?"

"Yeah, second brother, maybe he's gone a bit slow from staying in the upper city for too long?"

At this moment, their leader stopped the two, "Alright, enough nonsense, or you'll get a beating."

"Looking at your delicate skin, I don't want you to end up getting a beating and losing all your clothes and money. That would be a huge loss."

"Now hand over your valuables obediently, and not only will we not beat you, you can even keep what you're wearing. Oh, and over there, you expressionless guy with the furrowed brow..."

"I'm talking to you. Put down that spear. And you, the one with glasses, leave your glasses behind. Let me see what's going on."

"Bababa!" Ji Yun's fists clenched tightly by Dan Heng, making a "bababa" sound, his eyes blazing with anger.

Chen Jie raised an eyebrow and casually adjusted his glasses.

"I can't take it anymore! Sambo, get out of my way!"

Upon hearing this, Sangbo immediately shielded everyone in front of him without hesitation.

"Hey~ Grandma, please!"

At this moment, Xing grabbed March 7 and walked in front of the crowd.

"In March, your arrows are prone to malfunction. You put a shield on me, I'll handle it."

Xing's words made sense, and March 7th, not completely blinded by anger, immediately shielded Xing with a protective shield.

"Xing, teach them a lesson they won't forget!"

Xing gave an OK sign and rushed forward without saying much.

"Rules are meant to be broken!"

The leader, seeing Xing babbling incessantly, charged forward, laughing angrily, "Hey? This little wench dares to resist? Brothers, teach her a lesson!"

The three of them stood in a row, barely managing to move forward together in a straight line.

"This is a charge formation consisting of the three of us brothers working together. You're going to get what's coming to you!"

Xing remained silent, his eyes sharp as he gripped the baseball bat tightly and swung it.

"Take my stick!"

The baseball bat was enveloped in a white light, and with a sweeping motion from Xing, destructive energy poured out, sending the three attackers flying before they could even comprehend what was happening.

Their weapons were all broken in two, and the people lying nearby were howling in agony.

"It's broken! Big brother, second brother, I think my hand is broken!"

"Third brother, I think my lower leg is broken too!"

Hearing his two brothers wailing and howling, the eldest brother, feeling the pain in his chest, blushed and fainted from anger.

"Big brother, big brother, what's wrong? Big brother, don't scare us!"

Seeing this bizarre scene, March 7th angrily exclaimed, "Serves you right! Who told you to rob us!"

"Slightly, slightly, slightly~"

Seeing March 7 sticking out her tongue like a mischievous child, Chen Jie couldn't help but laugh out loud and gave her a thumbs-up in approval.

"Hehe, March 7th, you're quite cute like this. You can keep it up; it really suits your 'pretty girl' persona."

"Oh? Really? Hehe, thanks for the compliment."

Upon receiving the praise, March 7th instantly perked up and laughed heartily.

"After three months of this, the most urgent task now is to figure out why they were robbing people on the road, and why they were in such a sorry state."

After Danheng's prompting, March 7th realized, "Oh right! Sangbo did say that the supplies in the lower city were not good, but it shouldn't be like this, all tattered and broken, like beggars, right?"

Hearing the discussion behind him, Xing strode forward. The two who were still conscious quickly protected their leader as Xing approached.

"What do you want! We don't have anything valuable on us!"

Xing didn't speak, but looked at the other person thoughtfully. After a while, she tried to make a fierce expression, swinging the baseball bat up and down in her right hand while catching it with her left, repeating this motion.

"I didn't expect a few thieves to be so loyal! Tell me, who sent you?"

"Who sent us?"

In that instant, both of them blushed with embarrassment and retorted angrily.

"A scholar can be killed but not humiliated! I'll fight you to the death!"

However, the next second, accompanied by two cries of pain, the two collapsed to the ground again. Chen Jie, who witnessed all of this, shook his head and sighed.

"Xing, take a close look at their clothing and behavior."

"They are clearly homeless, landless, and jobless vagrants; otherwise, they wouldn't have resorted to highway robbery."

Xingnuo pondered for a moment, "So that's how it is."

Suddenly, Dan Heng exclaimed in surprise, "Wait, Chen Jie, Sang Bo is gone!"

"Gone?"

The group turned around, but Sangbo was nowhere to be seen. Even Chen Jie was somewhat surprised this time; it seemed his impression of Sangbo would have to be revised again.

He knew Sambo was hiding something, but he didn't expect him to have this ability even without the mask.

But soon, after checking his pockets, Chen Jie's expression calmed down.

"Never mind, as long as he's still in Belleburg, we can find him. No rush."

"The most urgent task now is to go to the residential areas of the people in the lower city."

At this point, Chen Jie pulled out his atomic gun, stepped forward, and aimed it at the two still conscious individuals.

"Next, she and I will interrogate you separately, asking you about the direction you'll be heading to Rocky Town. If either of you answers incorrectly..."

At this point, Chen Jie shut up, taking out his atomic gun to prove his point.

When the two men saw their broken weapons mysteriously vanish after being shot, their faces turned deathly pale, and cold sweat poured down their backs.

"No, no, no, no need for interrogation. We... we can lead the way directly. We don't want to die either."

Dust Calamity raised an eyebrow in surprise and put the weapon back into his pocket.

"Lead the way, and bring your leader with you. You can proceed at your own pace, and we'll take care of any dangers you encounter along the way."

"well"

After a while, the two men didn't struggle. Enduring the pain, they carried their leader on either side and led the way.

Although the environment and living conditions in the lower city were very poor, those who survived all shared one characteristic.

That is, durable.

Chapter 38 Seele

Chen Jie frowned slightly as he watched the two limping figures leading the way carrying their elder brother.

"Your arms and legs aren't broken, walk properly, stop pretending, we won't kill you."

Upon hearing this, the two of them froze, then quickly returned to normal.

"Hey, you gentlemen, you promised you wouldn't hit us anymore!"

"Yes, yes, you promised you wouldn't do anything shady again."

March 7th waved his hand impatiently, "Hey, don't do anything. Just lead the way quietly. It's Pan, Pan, whatever. Just take us to that Pan something town and you can leave."

Instantly, the two seemed to be injected with adrenaline, and even carrying a person on their backs, their pace quickened considerably.

"Wow, Dust Tribulation, their physical fitness is really good. They can still move like the wind after being hit by a star?"
