Zong Shen had no objections to this.

Because within the Golden Circle Mark, there are places worth exploring in all four directions.

They are all within the area of the resident’s ruins.

No matter which path is opened first, there is only a difference in order, no other differences.

The territory is now much richer.

Zong Shen equipped most of the warriors with Moon God Spring Water.

These Rodok Soldiers were no exception.

They belong to the Axe and Shield Heavy Infantry, responsible for being the tank.

Thus, they spontaneously paired up and walked at the front of the team.

While those Avalon Strong Strike Swordsmen are rare Dual Swordsmen.

They fight wielding two One-Handed Long Swords, with very proficient swordsmanship.

The Dragon-Slaying Heavy Sword that Zong Shen originally wielded could summon Strong Strike Swordsmen.

These swordsmen are strong in attack but weaker in defense, so they had to walk at the back.

Zong Shen and Baron Bezos watched them enter the dim passage on the right, holding torches.

This passage is more than half narrower than the one that leads into the underground labyrinth from the pit.

The height is only around two meters.

This is why Baron Bezos chose to explore this passage first.

Because such a width would greatly affect the normal passage of the Lion Skeleton Knights.

In such a low corridor, the possibility of Skeleton Knights is much lower.

After all, the height of the Skeleton Knights with the Undead Bone Horse is about two and a half meters.

This is still because of the absence of flesh.

However, the low corridor only indicates that Skeleton Knights have not passed through here.

But it does not guarantee that there aren’t any dormant Skeleton Knights inside or at the end of the passage.

In the past, these caverns and passages were excavated by those Shallow Water Fishmen.

Only when they alarmed the dormant Lion Skeleton Knights did they finally cease.

Baron Bezos was a bit nervous, his expression focused as he stared at the passage they entered.

They lit six torches, all held by the warriors in the middle position.

The front Rodok Soldiers just needed to concentrate on holding Shields and Chain Head Hammers.

The Long-handled Axe could not be displayed here, so the short and compact Chain Head Hammer was more suitable.

Zong Shen also took the opportunity to ask the Guide Module for help as they entered.

He asked the Guide Module to show him places where undead were dormant.

Baron Bezos had good luck; the end of this passage had no undead.

But in the other three passages, two had dormant undead.

Zong Shen was quickly aware.

He planned to guide the next actions appropriately.

First, the other safe passage should be opened, and parts of excavation and exploration completed.

Only then would he consider the two passages where undead were lurking.

If necessary, Baron Bezos’s men may need to shed some blood to counter the trampling of Undead Iron Riders.

Allowing this could clear Bezos’s doubts.

At crucial moments, Zong Shen would assist, taking the opportunity to guide those undead outside the ruins.

If it’s Lion Skeleton Knights, it would be even easier to manage, first allowing them to rampage.

Finally, Zong Shen would quietly reveal the Silver Lion Ring.

Then he would issue instructions to direct these individuals to the western forest outside the ruins through Soul Fluctuations.

In any case, Zong Shen hoped the undead in the ruins could be utilized effectively.

Even if he ultimately had to fight those undead himself, he would not hesitate.

Of course, this was merely his plan, how to proceed would still depend on circumstances.

Once aware, Zong Shen became steady again.

He stood half a meter behind Baron Bezos with his hands behind his back.

Awaiting the Exploration Squad’s final results, watching the torchlight gradually vanish at the passage’s end.

About five or six minutes later.

The torchlight reappeared, indicating that the squad was returning smoothly.

If there were dangers or situations in the passage, fighting sounds would have been heard already.

Thus, Baron Bezos also breathed a sigh of relief.

The Rodok Soldiers and Strong Strike Swordsmen separately approached Zong Shen and Baron Bezos, kneeling on one knee.

This was a rather formal etiquette.

"Master, everything is normal inside the passage."

"The total length is approximately 30 meters, with evident ruins on both sides."

"There are also some broken stone walls at the end, not sure if related to the ruins."

Ricardo of the Rodok Soldiers seriously reported to Zong Shen.

And those Avalon Strong Strike Swordsmen also reported the situation to Baron Bezos.

The differences between the two reports were minor.

Zong Shen nodded, reaching out to assist Ricardo.

He was the leader of the Rodok Soldiers.

Of course, he was appointed by Zong Shen.

After assisting Ricardo, Zong Shen spoke to the Rodok Soldiers.

"I understand, thank you for your hard work."

"Rise up quickly."

After receiving his permission, the other Rodok Soldiers stood up one after another.

They carried Battle Shields on their backs, and inserted Chain Head Hammers at their waists.

They took out Long-handled Axes, planted them on the ground, standing like guards behind Zong Shen.

These Rodok Soldiers had not been with Zong Shen for long.

They were acquired from the Recruitment Scroll obtained when the Frosty Winter Treasure Chest was opened.

Nonetheless, these guys respected Zong Shen greatly.

As for Baron Bezos, Tier Four Swordsmen of the Bang City Army reported the same situation to him.

"Brother Zong Shen, this passage is problem-free."

"So I will now order the excavation to begin."

After drawing his conclusion, Baron Bezos came to Zong Shen and said.

To which Zong Shen simply nodded.

"As you wish, Master."
