"They're digging another hole here!"
Jiang Yuan crawled into the hole where it first appeared. The last time the two little ones went missing, they were digging a hole in the backyard. If he and Ning Yanlan hadn't caught them and brought them back, they might be digging somewhere by now.
I didn't expect that after not seeing them for a few days, those two idiots would come down and dig a hole again.
"Huh!"
After jumping into the pit, Jiang Yuan was stunned by the interconnected underground palace before him.
"Could those two have done this?!" Jiang Yuan was starting to doubt his own existence. It would be unbelievable if such a masterpiece came from the hands of two little ones.
Hmph—Hmph
Two sudden grunts drew Jiang Yuan's attention, and he saw two dirty black-horned pigs, one pink and one white, come into view.
"Peppa and George!" Jiang Yuan's face immediately darkened when he saw the two of them. "Can't you two just give me a break? You always get so dirty, and I have to wash you up when we get home!"
Just as I was about to grab the two little pigs, George dashed into the hole, while Peppa slowly walked over, wagging her curly tail.
"What's that?" Jiang Yuan saw something flash on Peppa Pig's tail, so he squatted down and hugged Peppa Pig in his arms.
vivivi
Peppa snuggled into Jiang Yuan's arms like a spoiled child, and Jiang Yuan took off the ring that was binding Peppa's tail. "This is a remnant of a mineral source!"
The object in front of her was not unfamiliar. Last time, when Grandpa Li came to freeload a meal, he gave Ning Yanlan a gift, which was the huge deep blue diamond on the ring in front of her.
"How did it end up here?" Jiang Yuan brushed the dust off Peiqi. He didn't expect Peiqi to give an answer. Although the two little ones had intelligence, they hadn't reached the point of communicating on their own yet, and were still quite far from being spirit beasts.
However, in the next second, Jiang Yuan's obvious idea was overturned.
"Your mother gave it to you!"
Jiang Yuan: "..."
Who spoke? Jiang Yuan looked at Peiqi in his arms in surprise, "Was that your voice just now?"
“Mommy gave this to you!” Peppa didn’t answer, but just repeated it, as if that was the only sentence she could say.
"It's become sentient!" Jiang Yuan said, still in a daze, as he removed the diamond ring from Peppa Pig's tail.
The mineral remnant is a diamond the size of a longan, and with its naturally multifaceted shape, it is one of the world's few top-quality diamonds even without any processing.
"Something was left behind!" The moment Jiang Yuan took it, he sensed the power that Ning Yanlan had deliberately left behind. Clearly, this crystallization of their love was a token left to him by Ning Yanlan.
"Let's go play for a while!"
Jiang Yuan put Peiqi on the ground. Knowing that she had completed her task, she whimpered twice and ran off, seemingly to chase after the other one.
As divine energy merged with the mineral remnant, Jiang Yuan felt a strong chill. He smiled, realizing that Ning Yanlan's bloodline conflict had been completely healed.
As expected, Ning Yanlan's words proved this point.
"Honey, I was going to leave the ring in my personal storage space, but I was afraid you'd abandon the two little ones, so please bear with it and take care of them while you're at it!"
"The Saintess of Blue Hidden Divine Mountain will need some time to return from her time-space exile. Although you are not here, the oath cannot stand still. Therefore, during your absence, I will take on your responsibility and keep an eye on the team for you."
"And this diamond ring is yours to keep safe. Remember, seeing the ring is like seeing me. Don't think that just because I'm not here you can go around having affairs!"
Jiang Yuan couldn't help but chuckle inwardly upon hearing these warm yet slightly threatening words. He said speechlessly, "This girl, she's not going to continue!"
Clearly, Ning Yanlan and the other two went to the ruins that Shangguan Ya had mentioned. However, Ning Yanlan's recovery of her strength reassured him quite a bit. With her 13% bloodline compatibility, her strength would increase by at least two or three levels after recovering from her injuries, making her no weaker than him.
"It seems we can only wait for the Northern City Alliance's zodiac signs to arrive together!" Jiang Yuan didn't know the location of the ruins, and he would have to rely on other means to get there.
He held the ring in his hand, and as his Heavenly Eye scanned the mineral deposits, he suddenly noticed that the object had changed slightly since the last time.
Ore Vein Remnant (Activated): The last crystallization left after the ore source it carries takes root.
"I don't remember this activation status last time!" Jiang Yuan raised an eyebrow, recalling the information he received when he first saw the mineral vein remains.
After thinking for a while, he couldn't be sure. When he first got the mineral deposit, he just thought it was a pretty gemstone, so he didn't take the information from the identification seriously.
"Never mind, let's go check on those two little ones first!" Jiang Yuan dared not forget Ning Yanlan's instructions. If he didn't take good care of the two little ones, he would probably be blamed to death the next time they met.
He had only brought the two little ones to the camp for about ten days, but he never expected that these two silly guys would dig such a large palace underground. This really surprised Jiang Yuan. However, surprise aside, this kind of idle spirit is not worth advocating, so he had to catch these two.
As Jiang Yuan descended the passage, his shock intensified. This was no underground palace that the two children had managed to create; it absolutely was not!
Putting aside the size of the passage, from the narrow entrance on the ground to the main road where we are now, this is beyond what two fifth-tier battle pets could dig. It can only be said that there is a hidden world below.
"Could it be that the two little ones have been persistently digging in the soil because they've discovered something down there?"
Jiang Yuan suddenly realized that he had always thought that Paige and George were just playing around and kept digging in the backyard, but now he thought that it must not be that simple.
"Yes, find a spot for the two little ones!"
He doesn't have the Breath of Stone, but with his third eye activated, all his senses are fully open, so finding Page George shouldn't be difficult.
"So far!"
According to his perception, Page George's presence was at least several hundred meters away, which was beyond the boundaries of their courtyard, and judging by the trend, the underground palace might have spread throughout the entire camp.
"Wait, could the drop in the camp's spiritual energy level a couple of days ago be related to those two little ones?" A bold guess popped into Jiang Yuan's mind.
The camp's spiritual energy has been declining for the past few days, and Paige and George's digging of the hole has also been happening for the past few days. These coincidences are very likely not coincidences.
"And this too, mineral vein remains!"
Jiang Yuan stared at the ring on his hand. From the name and description of the mineral remnant, he could tell that this item had a mysterious origin. "Could it be related to this place?"
He was certain that Paige and George hadn't dug such a large hole last time, so even if they were moving very fast these past few days, it wouldn't be this fast. The only variable for the two little ones was the mineral vein remnant.
"Looks like we need to find the two little ones first. They've been here for so long, they're bound to find something!"
Jiang Yuan could only postpone the matter of training Shi Xuyao and Lin Man for the time being.
