Summoned from another world, the hero is Ultraman Zeta.

The dim and gloomy scenery makes it difficult to see the surroundings. Forced forward by external forces, one becomes dizzy and disoriented, unable to even distinguish between front, back, left, and right. Those with slightly weaker willpower might not even be able to tell whether they are going up or down.

Caves filled with rock formations are an excellent training ground for Earth Release techniques. It was precisely because of this that Luo Yi was able to wait here with ease for Yao Hui and the others to pursue him. However, Yao Hui would not be so easily manipulated.

Even though the surroundings were completely dark, Haruki was able to remain steadfast in his will and, through his bond with Zeta, sensed the location of Yuugi Junsei. The wave chip immediately burst out of the Earth Release control.

Haruki was thrown upwards from the ground. After feeling a dizzying sensation, he was thrown to the ground. He lay there with his eyes closed, waiting for his blood to return to normal circulation. Once his condition improved, he quickly got up to check his surroundings.

"Hey, Ajiu? Wake up! Are you alright?" Ajiu and Yaohui were thrown from the ground together. Ajiu was much less conscious than Yaohui when she fell to the ground. Yaohui used the Courage Crystal to give Ajiu some simple treatment to ensure that she was not injured.

After coughing a few times, Ajiu woke up. The forced healing after her unconsciousness made her feel unwell, and a wave of nausea woke her up.

"Where am I? What's going on, Haruki?"

“We were tricked by Luo Yi’s earth-遁术 (earth-遁术 is a type of magic that allows one to escape into a strange place). You should rest and recover first. I’ll go and check out the surrounding area.”

After briefly explaining the situation and reassuring Ajiu to make sure she was safe, Yaohui got up and checked the surroundings.

This is a huge mine, with strangely glowing magical ores everywhere, providing light in this underground mine. Even without any other light source, Yaohui can tell that they are on flat ground rather than on the edge of a cliff.

"We don't see Sean around, so it seems he's not with us. This is in trouble. Luo Yi is obviously more familiar with the terrain than we are. If Sean is alone, he might be targeted by Luo Yi!"

Unable to confirm the safety of his companions, Haruki was extremely uneasy. Even when he and Zeta were on guard, they were still ambushed and controlled by Luo Yi, which showed that the other party was definitely not a simple person. Moreover, his unpredictable mood and the feeling of him being in control made Haruki feel that he was very dangerous.

"Look, Yaohui, there's a huge hole ahead. It's clearly not naturally formed. Is that the way we came from?"

Zeta's Ultra Vision allows him to see things that are difficult for ordinary people to see in underground mines. He has been observing the surrounding scenery in the Yongyi Pure Crystal since just now, and he tells Haruki as soon as he makes a discovery. He also does not want his partner to be in danger.

"Have you found anything, Yaohui? I've already explained our situation to Qingxuan through the magic book, and he said he's coming to help right away."

"Don't rush Qingxuan to get here yet. We don't know where Sean has been taken by Luo Yi's magic. Let Qingxuan help find Sean first. We are safe here."

After regaining consciousness, Ajiu quickly realized that she was in a bad situation. Although her head was still a little dizzy, it did not affect her ability to use magic. She quickly used the Light Magic Stone to contact Qingxuan. With Yaohui by her side, she was not too worried about her safety.

Yao Hui was still worried about Sean's whereabouts. This place was either a hideout for Luo Yi or the territory of monsters. It would be too dangerous for Sean to act alone.

With Zeta's help, this underground mine can't hold them at all. Leaving here is just a matter of figuring out the location and having Gamma Future teleport them. However, if they leave like this, they won't be able to catch Luo Yi or find Sean.

"In that case, we should go back the way we came. If we search from where Luo Yi set up the trap, we might be able to find Sean's whereabouts. Let's set off quickly!"

"Don't rush, Zeta, this is the territory of the Aoxiao. We can't be too conspicuous!"

This dark and gloomy place was not Zeta's preferred battleground, but now that his companion was in trouble, it was not the time to be picky. Zeta was eager to find Sean and leave this place as soon as possible.

A-Jiu understood Zeta's feelings but did not agree with his actions. This was an unfamiliar terrain with monsters lurking there, so caution was the best option at the moment.

A loud bang was the unusual sound of a boulder being crushed. The giant beast, Aoxiao, emerged from one side of the mine, coming to investigate the source of the earlier explosion in the shadows.

The cherub's limbs easily climb the underground rock strata, and its tail claws can easily grab the surrounding 360-degree rock protrusions with a flick of its wrists, stabilizing the giant beast's body and allowing its huge eyes to stare wide and flash high up.

Falling from the rock face without causing an earthquake, the giant body of the cherub landed surprisingly lightly. It arrived at the blast site and stared at the debris. After observing the surrounding broken earth and debris, it became extremely agitated, roaring and leaping as it scratched and dug at the distant terrain, as if venting its anger by transforming all its dissatisfaction into destruction.

Hiding early in the crevices of the rock strata, using the surrounding rocks as cover to keep themselves out of the Aoxiao's sight, Yaohui and Ajiu were well prepared to lie in wait and defend themselves. Their previous experience in confronting the monster had made them more mature.

"What's going on with that monster? Is it being controlled by Luo Yi? Why is it always causing chaos and destruction?"

“I don’t think so. If the Ao Xiao was really controlled by Luo Yi, then it should have appeared and attacked us from the beginning, or ambushed us while we were trapped by the earth escape technique. It’s obviously not the best time to chase us now.”

Zeta was suspicious, worried that a being's will was being forcibly controlled by someone else's personal desires. Haruki's rationality made him think about the monster's behavior, and after weighing the pros and cons, he was quite confident that the monster had not been controlled by Luo Yi's magic.

"Why are wild monsters acting so abnormally aggressively? Even the Komodo tigers and serpent dragons we encountered before didn't exhibit this level of violence towards the environment. What's going on... Is the monster attacking something, or protecting something?"

"Damn it! If we let the Ao Xiao run wild like this, Luo Yi's earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a magical formation) will definitely be destroyed! Then my perception magic will be useless! Haruki, Zeta, do you have any way to stop the Ao Xiao?!"

Seeing the monster's rampage and destruction, A-Jiu felt extremely anxious. The pros and cons of the situation were indeed as A-Jiu had said. After hearing this, Yao-Hui also realized the harm caused by the monster's actions.

On one hand, he wanted to know the reason for the monster's abnormal behavior, and on the other hand, he was concerned about exploring Sean's life and safety. With these two factors combined, Haruki decided to take the initiative this time.

"Let's go, Zeta! Although I feel conflicted, we must protect the place where Luo Yi tricked us."

"I don't know what's going on, but I'll work hard with you, Haruki!"
