Eric and the others were shocked by Nangong Jing's sudden burst of energy.
For a moment, the atmosphere was silent.
Nangong Jing saw that Eric did not say anything, so she asked again, "Where is my father?!"
Eric only reacted when he heard Nangong Jing's words.
He saw that Nangong Jing's aura was a little unstable, and his expression changed. There was a hint of sadness on his face, "… Xiao Jing, your father might …"
At this point, he didn't continue.
However, Nangong Jing and the others naturally understood the meaning of Eric's words.
Nangong Jing's body trembled, and her face turned pale.
Her aura surged, and she looked at Eric coldly, "Impossible! Nothing will happen to my father! You're lying to me! "
Eric's face turned pale when he felt Nangong Jing's killing intent.
At this moment, Lu Ze reached out and hugged Nangong Jing. He gently patted Nangong Jing's back and said softly, "Jing Jing, don't worry. Eric only said that it's possible. He's not sure yet. Don't worry, don't worry! I'm here. I won't let anything happen to your father. "
Hearing Lu Ze's comforting words, Nangong Jing's body trembled. She hugged Lu Ze's waist with both hands and buried her head in Lu Ze's chest. She bit her lower lip hard and closed her eyes as tears slowly flowed out.
She understood that her father's strength was considered weak in the Xavier Ancient Ruins. With such strength, it was not impossible for something to happen to him. In fact, it was very likely.
It was because of this that she was terrified and in disbelief.
At this moment, being held in Lu Ze's arms, she could not help but cry out in fear.
Lu Ze saw Nangong Jing holding back her tears, and a trace of heartache flashed in his eyes. He reached out and hugged Nangong Jing, gently supporting her back, and said softly, "Don't be afraid. I'm here."
Kaza Akizuki and the others also looked at Nangong Jing with complicated expressions, feeling very sad.
Although they weren't blood-related sisters, they did everything together and even fought together. Their relationship was closer than blood-related sisters.
When they heard the news, they were naturally very sad.
Especially when they saw Nangong Jing's sad look, they felt very distressed.
They came to Nangong Jing's side and patted her back. Alice said softly, "Sister Nangong, don't be sad. Councilman Eric just said that it's possible. Maybe Uncle is fine."
"That's right, T-Rex. What are you doing now? We're not weak now. If Uncle is really in trouble, we can definitely save him with our strength."
"That's right, Big Sister Jing. Don't worry, nothing will happen."
"…"
While they were comforting Nangong Jing, Lu Ze looked at Eric, who had a bitter and sad expression, and asked, "What's going on?"
Seeing Lu Ze's gaze, Lily and Louise looked at each other and couldn't help but shrink their necks.
Lu Ze always gave them the impression that he was careless and carefree. This was their first time seeing Lu Ze like this.
The two of them were also a little scared.
Under Lu Ze's gaze, Eric said, "After coming out of the Federation, we've been searching for high-level spirit fruits and resources …"
He smiled bitterly. "We've been to a lot of places and even met the Red Flame Saint. A few years ago, we came to the Xavier Ancient Ruins together. The resources here are very plentiful. There are quite a lot of cosmic cloud state spirit items. As long as we can find them, then …"
He looked at Lily, Louise, and Sabrina. Then, he looked at Lu Ze. "I believe Senior should know that a prodigy appeared in our race …"
Lu Ze was dazed. Then, he thought of something and looked at Alice.
Alice understood what he meant, and her expression became very complicated.
After all, regardless of whether it was her ancestor or Nangong Lin and the others, they were all searching for high-grade energy for her in hopes that her origin flame would awaken.
Lu Ze nodded. "Continue."
Eric didn't notice Lu Ze's and Alice's expressions. He continued bitterly, "But with our power, even if we encounter high-level spirit items, we can't defeat the beasts guarding them. We tried many ways and even sacrificed a few people's lives, but we still couldn't get a high-level spirit item. Even the Red Flame Saint was heavily injured a few times …"
"Then, we thought of a way. Since we can't get high-level spirit items, we'll collect low-level spirit items here and use them to exchange for a high-level spirit item."
"But a few months ago, things changed. The Gus Race in the Chaos Star Realm found a star stone mine in the Xavier Ancient Ruins. The star stones inside can be used for cultivation. It's a cosmic cloud state spirit item. Because the Gus Race didn't have enough people, they recruited people to mine. As long as they got enough ores, they could get a certain amount of rewards and even have a chance to get star stones! This is much faster than us collecting resources ourselves. Thus, we all signed up to mine. "
His face looked bad. "However, we didn't expect that mine to be contaminated with demonic chi. As long as you mine there, you will be infected with demonic chi. Ordinary cosmic system states can't resist it at all. All the miners are from our race. Not a single person from the Gus Race came! We realized something was wrong. Even if we wanted to leave, the Gus Race wouldn't let us go. "
Hearing this, Lu Ze and the girls' eyes flashed coldly.
"Later on, when we dug into the depths of the mine, we startled a sleeping beast. That beast was extremely powerful. Even the peak cosmic cloud state of the Gus Race was no match for it. The entire mine became chaotic. My injuries slowly worsened due to the aftermath of that battle. During the battle, some star crystal fragments flew out from the depths of the mine. We picked up a small piece and wanted to sneak away. In the end, we were still targeted. In the end, because my divine ability made it easy to hide, I was the only one who managed to escape. I don't know what happened to the others. "
At this point, his expression was ugly, and his eyebrows were filled with sorrow.
Lu Ze and the girls' faces were very bad after hearing Eric's words.
Based on Eric's words, it seemed that those human experts were probably dead by now.
Lu Ze didn't expect that other than Nangong, even Alice's old man was there.
Alice's face was pale. She couldn't stand straight.
Her mind went blank when she heard that all the humans, including her old man, might be in trouble.
These people were in trouble because of her.
This was the only thought in her mind. She felt very guilty.
Lu Ze felt Nangong Jing and Alice's change in mood. He said slowly, "Regardless, we should go to the mine of the Gus Race. Perhaps they aren't dead and were just captured to continue mining. After all, the Gus Race wouldn't want their own people to mine, right?"
Nangong Jing and the girls looked up at Lu Ze. Alice's face was pale. She asked with some hope, "Senior, is that true?"
Lu Ze smiled bitterly. He wasn't very sure either.
But no matter what, they had to go check first.
If something really happened to Nangong and the others …
Lu Ze's eyes flashed with murderous intent.
He would annihilate the entire Gus Race!
But now, he had to comfort Nangong Jing and Alice.
He nodded. "Yes, it's true!"
At this moment, Sabrina, who had been silent, said, "Perhaps your people are fine for now."
Everyone was taken aback by Sabrina's words.
Nangong Jing asked, "Senior, do you know something?"
They all saw how certain Sabrina was. She seemed to know something.
Sabrina nodded and said slowly, "The Gus Race is a race in the Chaos Star System. The Chaos Star System is a very chaotic place. There are countless races and lone wolves. There are no specific rules no matter what they do. The strong are respected. It's normal to even sell slaves. I know about the Gus Race. They're very strong. They're close to a Hoshi Jun level civilization. If they capture your people, they might take them to continue mining or auction them off in the Chaos Star System. They shouldn't die before they squeeze out all the remaining profits. "
Lu Ze and the girls' eyes lit up. They were surprised.
As long as they were still alive, there was still hope!
"But …" Sabrina paused for a moment and continued, "The Chaos Star System is very complicated. It's said that there are a few Hoshi Jun level civilizations behind it. The auction house in the Chaos Star System is a huge profit for the entire Chaos Star System. If they really cause trouble there …"
The meaning of Sabrina's words was self-evident.
One had to know that the Chaos Star System was backed by a Hoshi Jun level civilization.
Then, there was probably a Hoshi Jun level being in the Chaos Star System.
If the Red Flame Saint and the others were really taken to the auction house, how were they going to save them?
They couldn't save them at all.
Upon hearing Sabrina's words, Eric, Zheng Shuiyue, and the others, who initially had some hope, revealed looks of despair again.
Lu Ze and the girls didn't feel anything.
As long as they weren't dead, it was fine. Even if they couldn't save them, they still had Ying Ying.
They weren't going to destroy the Chaos Star System. They were just going to sneak into a civilization that wasn't at the Hoshi Jun level yet.
It shouldn't be too difficult, right?
Lu Ze and the girls looked at each other and felt relieved.
Even Nangong Jing and Alice looked much better.
The Red Flame Saint and Nangong were here. There were other human beings. They might not be dead!
There was still hope!
Seeing this, Lu Ze felt assured.
Then, a trace of cold killing intent flashed in his eyes. "Let's go and take a look at the mine."
