Collapse Iron: As the Balance Envoy, I've joined the chat group

Speaking of this, Gan Yu once again recalled the scene in the video where Tiga severed the monster's horns with a single chop. She subconsciously raised her hand to touch her own horns and said hesitantly, "Um... how about I stay on the train?"

The pink-furred fox sidled up to Gan Yu: "Oh~ Sister Gan Yu, are you scared?"

"Hehe~ That's true. If an elegant and adorable Qilin like Sister Gan Yu had its horns cut off by Ultraman Tiga..."

"I bet she'll be so angry she'll have a mental breakdown, crying and making a scene, waaaaah, so pitiful~"

Teased by Yae no Miko, Gan Yu blushed instantly and tugged at her hand reproachfully, "Miko! I...I didn't mean it that way!"

"I was just thinking that since Liyue has taken up two spots this time, it would be good to have a mentor for pioneering and such."

"Besides, Lord Zhongheng also said that someone still needs to stay on the train."

Yae no Miko still said with a grin, "Okay, okay~ Sister Gan Yu wanted to stay on the train on her own initiative, not because she was afraid of having her horn cut off by Ultraman Tiga~"

Zhong Heng nodded secretly to himself. That's it, that's the smell of a scumbag. You're truly worthy of being called Yae no Kami.

"In my opinion, everyone probably wants to see the world on this first expedition."

"Therefore, let's decide how to pair up the teams by drawing lots."

"There are seventeen of us on this trip. Gan Yu chose to stay on the train, so there are sixteen of us."

Stephen's voice came over the loudspeaker: "Um... you don't need to count me in either, I'm planning to stay on the train too."

"However, if you see any interesting game cartridges or anything like that on Earth, just remember to bring one back for me."

Upon hearing this, Xianyun continued, "So, Gan Yu and Stephen are staying on the train. Paimon, what about you? Are you planning to travel with the Travelers, or stay on the train and wait for her to return?"

Paimon hesitated for a moment.

On the one hand, I want to explore with Ying, to see the scenery on Earth, and to taste the local cuisine.

On the other hand, after watching the video, with monsters and Ultraman that are tens of meters tall and weigh tens of thousands of tons, her small frame is probably not even enough to fill their teeth.

I was genuinely both scared and eager to go, and for a moment I didn't know what to do.

"If Paimon wants to come along, then let's go together. It's not like we see Ultraman fighting monsters every day on Earth."

"And those ordinary people on Earth, after all these years, aren't they still living just fine?"

Ying's words gave Paimon some confidence, and he immediately stopped hesitating: "Alright then, I'll go with the Traveler."

Xianyun adjusted his glasses: "In that case, the Traveler siblings and Paimon together basically form a fixed team."

"As for Zhong Heng, Hei Ta, Luo Si Gu Mu, and Ruan Mei, they're probably more interested in the Land of Light in the M78 Nebula than in Earth, right?"

Zhong Heng and the others nodded in agreement.

Ruan Mei stepped forward and handed Xianyun several Ruan bags, saying, "Please keep these embroidered pouches."

"The space inside is quite large. I put some food and other odds and ends that I might need in there."

"If possible, could you please put the monsters I encountered on Earth into my embroidered pouch and return them to me after this journey is over so I can study them?"

Xianyun didn't stand on ceremony and accepted Aruan's bag: "Then thank you very much, Ms. Ruan Mei."

Ruan Mei shook her head slightly: "No need, we'll just each get what we need."

"So, the current situation is that Zhong Heng and Hei Ta are going to the Land of Light as a group, the Traveler siblings and Paimon are temporarily in another group, and Gan Yu and Stephen have chosen to stay on the train."

"There are exactly eight people left, including myself. I think we should draw lots to add two more to the Travelers' team, and form another team for the rest."

The others nodded and no one raised any objections.

Soon, Xianyun held the prepared lots in his hand: "There are eight lots in total, two of which are red. Those who draw red lots will be in the same team as the Travelers, and the other six people who don't draw red lots will form another team. Come up and draw lots."

Yae no Miko, Buyer, Falga, Capitano, Leosli, Lauma, and Shinonin stepped forward one by one to draw lots.

The final result was that Yae no Kamiko, Izumi, Sora, Hikari, and Paimon formed a team.

Buyer, Falga, Capitano, Leosli, Lauma, and Shinonen formed another team.

Gan Yu and Stephen stayed on the train.

Zhong Heng, Hei Ta, Luo Si Gu Mu, and Ruan Mei then headed to the Land of Light to investigate and see if they could discuss any cooperation.

Xianyun also distributed the bag that Ruan Mei had just given her.

Zhong Heng clapped his hands: "Now that everything is ready, let's set off."

Yingmei raised her hand and asked, "Hey, boss, how do we land? Should we just open the train car door and jump out?"

"While it's true that my brother, Paimon, and Zhenjun can fly, there are also people here who can't fly."

"Jumping from such a height... what if something goes wrong..."

For some reason, upon hearing Ying's question, Zhongheng suddenly recalled the unique landing methods he had encountered on his previous exploration journeys.

In contrast, using the last carriage separated from the Star Train as a landing capsule, along with ample life support resources, can ensure that unidentified passengers can use the carriage as a safe haven after landing.

However, with this method of separating and lowering the train carriages, the carriage recovery rate was only 42.4%, and the repair rate of the recovered carriages was a staggering 100%...

Given the damaged condition of their train, it's best to avoid using this method if possible.

After thinking for a moment, Zhong Heng said, "Fine, this time I will personally take you to a suitable landing point."

"In the future, our trains should also be equipped with some suitable landing gear."

After saying that, Zhong Heng raised his hand and used a gentle force to envelop the two teams of pioneers, found the landing site marked by the probe, and sent them into the Earth.

After Zhong Heng finished doing all this, Hei Ta stepped forward with his arms crossed: "So what's the next step? Shall we just take the train and jump over to the M78 Nebula?"

"Should we leave them here and bring them back with us?"

Zhong Heng shook his head: "I'm afraid that won't work. The train has only just arrived in this world, unlike where we had already laid out star tracks so that we could go directly to our destination no matter where we were."

"Moreover, we don't know the exact location of the M78 Nebula. Finding a star field in the vast universe is harder than finding a needle in a haystack."

"The only thing we can do now is to lay out the star trails and deploy detectors to find the coordinates of the M78 nebula."
