#538 - Chapter 536 Excavation Plan
The Dwarf Reserve Training Base.
Inside a hidden room.
In the main seat, the amiable-looking, 1.7-meter-tall Third Elder flicked the ash from his cigarette:
"Old Five, let's trap them in the earth first, see if they can break through quickly, and also see if they possess spatial abilities."
"Yes, Third Brother."
The younger Fifth Elder, standing at 1.8 meters, nodded and used his ability to transport the room where Qi Jing was to the deepest part of the thick mud he could control.
In his seat, the Third Elder, enjoying a massage from a maid, blew out a smoke ring, mentally reviewing what had just happened.
A few minutes ago, he was engaged in a great life relay with the maid when he suddenly sensed a Second Elder under his control appearing in the village above.
However, Puli Kong, the spatial ability user in their Angzheng Society who could teleport instantly, was already dead.
Therefore, the only possible reason for this Second Elder's sudden appearance was that she brought another spatial ability user with her! And it was highly likely that she had been captured or defected!
No matter how much he trusted his mind control ability, his cautious nature, cultivated over the years, immediately prompted him to react:
He used the Fifth Elder's room manipulation to disrupt the space of the entire base.
Whether they came to assassinate or investigate, whether their strength was high or low, he could first get them underground to buy time for his next plan.
So, while the positions of all the rooms were constantly changing, he ordered the Fifth Elder to send a Second Elder's dormitory to them, to test their strength.
If they had friendly intentions, they wouldn't have killed those three people at the beginning.
If their strength wasn't that great, they would have been killed by those three Second Elders.
But they killed those three people in an instant, without the slightest hesitation!
This proved that they were here to kill.
And if they could kill those three Second Elders instantly, their raw strength had already surpassed everyone here!
Including him and the Fifth Elder in front of him.
After all, their abilities weren't combat-oriented; one could only sense and transfer rooms, and the other could only manipulate and sense people's hearts.
The stronger Second Elders had already been sent out on missions, and the strongest Grand Elder wasn't at the base either.
Therefore, he had to first try to see if he could trap them to death.
If they could ignore the earth or teleport again, then he would have to prepare to run, abandoning this base.
If not, then let them be trapped to death here!

"Zha Yin, this is the situation, what should we do?"
In Qi Jing's perception, there was only mud and rock within a kilometer radius, without any sign of human presence.
"There's not much we can do. We don't have earth element abilities, nor do we have spatial abilities. We can only dig our way out."
Tan Zuoyin spread her hands:
"I bet that Third Elder is watching to see if we can leave this room instantly. If we use a Hearthstone or Return Scroll to go back, he will definitely be afraid that we will report him, immediately transfer the base and run away, and we won't be able to find him next time.
But it doesn't matter much, we have a compass and can find his location at any time.
However, as long as we don't bring a spatial ability user, we will still be locked in the earth when we come to find him next time, and we will still encounter this situation.
So, what we can do now is to dig through here, and when we dig to the Third Elder, we will be transferred underground again, then dig again, then transfer again, until the energy of that spatial ability user is exhausted.
Of course, this method requires digging very fast, and we have to bet that he won't run away."
Ah?
So troublesome?
Qi Jing turned his gaze to Gou Yigou:
"Old Gou, do you have any skills that can be used?"
"I can eat dirt, and I eat it very fast."
Ah, this.
The Devouring Sun Divine Sovereign eats dirt, no problem.
After integrating the information, Qi Jing pinched his chin and pondered for a while, then said:
"After my clever contemplation, we now have three options."
Tan Zuoyin and Gou Yigou pricked up their ears, listening carefully to what he was going to say.
"One, go back, find Aunt Kong, and let her help us destroy the dwarfs, stable and fast!
But I want to put this last, as the future Ability King, I can't always rely on seniors, right? Besides, I still want to chop the dwarfs myself."
Tan Zuoyin nodded, finding the Level 5 ability user [Space] Aunt Kong Que was indeed the best option.
However, Qi Jing was right, they couldn't just go to the elders whenever there was a problem, as this would not allow them to develop the ability to deal with accidents and would prevent them from growing.
Of course, the main thing was that they weren't in any life-threatening danger, they had a lot of life-saving equipment, and they had a chance to come again.
Otherwise, they would definitely choose this method.
"Two, dig dirt, let Old Gou and Kirby eat dirt, especially Kirby, it has a bottomless stomach and can quickly eat a large amount of dirt, opening up the road to the Third Elder.
Then, as you said, be transferred again, eat again, until the space ability user's energy is exhausted, or, all the dirt here is eaten.
But the main problem is still whether the Third Elder will run away."
After listening to Qi Jing's second method, Gou Yigou said:
"I also eat dirt very efficiently, and I eat a lot, but I have to spit it out after a period of time."
"What's the problem with that, just spit it into Kirby's mouth."
Qi Jing purely regarded Kirby as a bottomless trash can.
Of course, as long as it didn't interfere with it playing games, it was indifferent to all of this, letting it eat whatever it ate.
Thinking of Kirby's cute big eyes, Tan Zuoyin suddenly felt that this method was a bit stupid and asked again:
"What's the third method?"
"The third method is to play dead. As long as we play dead here, they will definitely take our room back.
When I came in, I observed that none of the rooms here were incomplete, which means that this room will definitely be taken back sooner or later.
Maybe it's because of the limitations of the spatial ability user's ability.
Even if there are no limitations, they will want to see the corpses, to see where their enemies come from."
Qi Jing felt that the success rate of his trick was quite high.
However, he thought of something else, looked at Perosna next to him and said:
"By the way, can he sense our existence?
We weren't discovered when we first came in, we were discovered two seconds after Perosna appeared.
Is there a possibility that one of the Third Elder's abilities is that he can sense the state and location of the people he controls within a certain distance, and he doesn't know how many people we have here at all.
And that spatial ability user can only transfer rooms as a unit, and it is very likely that he doesn't know the situation in the room.
So, we just need to kill Perosna, we don't need to play dead."
After listening to Qi Jing's words, Tan Zuoyin agreed:
"It's worth a try, but killing Perosna directly is a bit too obvious, she has to die a little more naturally, such as, suffocation."
"By the way, how long can the air in a room support us?"
"Well, in theory, we should be dying soon, after all, we experienced an explosion, and all the oxygen was blown away."
"Then what are we waiting for, quickly turn off Perosna's oxygen supply!"
Perosna, who was bound by a coated prison uniform, next to her:
