#452 - Chapter 451: Dwarfs’ Elder, Prikong
"Boss Daley, I didn't expect you to hide him so well. It's been worth all the planning we've done against you."
Deep within the third level, the dwarf elder—Pu Li, holding a fat man in his hand, said to Daley, who was covered in injuries:
"Fortunately, we didn't kill you, or we would never have found him in this lifetime, hahaha!"
Daley looked at the spatial ability assassin who had tried to kill him a few days ago, and at the fat man in his hand who was already unconscious. He laboriously raised his hand, pointed at the tapestry behind him, and roared:
"You, aren't you a hero of Sand City? Why would you collude with them! So, the rescue a few days ago was just a play you put on, sacrificing so many people to act with me. You're really ruthless.
Could it be that the Sand City you built for eight years was for him? No, I only discovered him two years ago. What did these assassins give you? I can give you double, no, ten times!"
Daley stared intently at the tapestry, hoping for some reaction, for him to kill the white-haired villain in front of him and save the fat man.
But what followed made him give up on that idea.
Pu Li used his free right hand to pat the tapestry's face twice, and then slapped him hard the third time. But even so, the tapestry didn't react at all, like a robot.
"Don't bother talking to him. He's a member of our lofty ideals. How could he care about the so-called name of a hero?"
Daley was stunned for a moment, then seemed to realize something and laughed:
"It's brainwashing, right? Lofty ideals, my foot! Dwarf Society, I've heard of your reputation for a long time. I didn't expect you to target me, a nouveau riche. What a disgrace!"
He had finally figured out the whole story.
Tutan was already a member of the Dwarf Society. He had been watching him since he came to the Hasala Other-dimensional Gate.
Then, he easily used his years of accumulated reputation to influence him and put on a show with the Dwarf Society, easily gaining his trust.
Thus, this evil Dwarf Society villain was conveniently brought to the underground hidden base, learning his greatest secret.
"You actually had Tutan build Sand City for eight years. What a feat, what a method!"
Pu Li raised his right index finger and shook it:
"You're wrong. We don't have such lofty ambitions. If you have to blame someone, blame your ability, 'Iron Heart,' which prevents us from brainwashing you. Otherwise, we wouldn't have 'influenced' the hero of Sand City.
Those wonderful qualities you trust—selfless dedication, warm friendliness, diligence, all that great love—he had them all, but because of you, they're gone!
That's right, it's because of your arrival that he was brainwashed by us!
Do you feel angry? Good, that's right. If you didn't react at all, wouldn't my meticulous plan have been wasted, hahaha!"
Hearing Pu Li's words, Daley gritted his teeth and cursed:
"You, you harmed the hero of Sand City for such a thing? You're simply inhuman!"
Although Daley wasn't a good person in business, he considered himself not a bad person in life.
Every time he brought down an opponent's company, he would offset his sins by giving benefits to the people, ensuring that those who went bankrupt because of him had something to eat.
After coming to the Hasala Other-dimensional Gate, he had heard about the deeds of Tutan, the hero of Sand City, and admired him greatly.
Therefore, he also did good deeds here by opening hospitals, repairing water pipes for free, and building mud cities.
He never expected that the hero of Sand City would be targeted by the Dwarf Society because of him! And turned into this inhuman puppet!
He hated it!
"Xiao You, kill him!"
With Daley's command, thousands of hard mud thorns suddenly rose from the ground beneath Pu Li's feet.
But Pu Li seemed to have foreseen it, using his spatial transfer to appear behind Daley in the blink of an eye, dodging the attack.
Almost at the same time, spikes grew again under Pu Li's feet, and just as they were about to pierce his feet, he flashed back to where he had just been standing.
Thrust, flash, thrust, flash!
These spikes were like Pu Li's afterimage, always a step behind him.
"Xiao You, what a nice name. Too bad, he doesn't dare to come out, so he can't kill me."
Hearing Pu Li say this in a playful tone, Daley immediately shouted:
"Xiao You, don't come out, keep stabbing him!"
"Aren't you worried about your own safety?"
Watching Pu Li flashing back and forth in different directions around him, Daley smiled easily:
"Me? You only have one trick, spatial transfer. You can't kill me."
"It seems you've forgotten there's someone else here. Tutan, do it!"
"Xiao You!"
Suddenly, a large amount of flying sand swept toward Daley from Tutan's sleeve. Just before it was about to touch him, a large amount of mud suddenly appeared under Daley, completely enveloping him and blocking the sand.
Pu Li, who was constantly flashing, saw this and said:
"I didn't expect this mud man to protect you while attacking me. Are you looking down on me? Come out!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Daley flashed away from the protection of the mud ball like Pu Li, appearing in front of Tutan.
Xiao You also seemed to have anticipated this, and conjured a mud wall between Tutan and Daley, blocking the sand attack again.
At the same time, mud wrapped around Daley again.
"Come out again!"
Daley was once again transferred behind Tutan, and another mud wall appeared in front of him.
Just as Pu Li was about to repeat his trick, in a corner he hadn't noticed, a mud ball emerged from the ground, revealing the bomb it was wrapped around.
Boom!
A violent explosion occurred in the small room on the third level.
In the blink of an eye, Tutan, Daley, Pu Li, and the fat man in his hand were all hit by the strong impact.
Although Pu Li was constantly flashing, his figure appeared in the room without gaps. The power of this explosion could hit him, but it could only stun him, not kill him.
Although Daley was wrapped in mud, he was too fragile. If his flesh wasn't relatively thick, he might have died in the explosion, rather than just being seriously injured.
"Xiao You, well done, kill him quickly."
This was a plan that Daley and Xiao You had discussed long ago. If someone broke into this secret base, they would use this tactic of exchanging injuries for injuries, and then Xiao You would control the mud thorns to kill the opponent.
Just as Xiao You was about to successfully pierce Pu Li's stunned brain, a bloody slash suddenly appeared, cutting off all the spikes.
At the same time, another slash struck, directly severing Daley's upper body and the mud surrounding him.
Accompanied by the sound of high heels, a female voice came from outside the door:
"Pu Li, I told you not to waste time. Transfer and leave here quickly."
"Leave... mud?"
Pu Li, who had just woken up, was about to release his ability when suddenly, a slender beam of light instantly pierced through his forehead.
"Leave? Don't leave. All you dwarves, stay here for me!"
