#549 - Chapter 547: The world is in decline, people’s hearts are no longer the same

The Third Elder was indeed a character, able to come up with this layered tower stalling tactic in such a short time.

For an enemy capable of killing them, their strength must be considerable, and the fact that they haven't dug their way out in the past ten days or so suggests great perseverance and a lack of spatial abilities.

Therefore, these enemies trapped here have only two choices.

Either use a life-saving item to return, or ascend the thousand-layered tower and face a large number of dwarves.

Whichever they choose, it buys a significant amount of time for the Nut Gang to prepare or escape.

As for digging?

They haven't dug for half a month while trapped, so why would they dig when there's a path?

With a bit of luck, these few enemies might even be worn down by the numerous dwarves.

"Your Third Elder has a good head on his shoulders."

Hearing Qi Jing's words, the Second Elder nodded in deep agreement:

"Indeed, the entire Dwarf Society was almost single-handedly built by him, from the Nut Gang's secret department to the worldwide network of spies, all thanks to him."

Qi Jing suddenly smiled:

"Then why would he accompany you to inspect this potentially dangerous house? That doesn't seem very clever."

"He doesn't trust us; he doesn't trust anyone above him except the boss."

The Second Elder seemed to recall something and chuckled:

"His height has always been a sore point for him; mentioning height in front of him always makes him angry. Thinking about it now, he's not that impressive after all."

Paranoid, autocratic, diligent, greedy...

These were all the labels she mentally applied to the Dwarf Society's second-in-command, whom she'd worried about for most of her life.

"But you need to be careful; within this thousand-layered tower, there's a secret special force he personally trained. Although they're irrational semi-finished products, their strength should be formidable."

She doesn't possess a "God Seal," making her a target for these dwarf trainees. Therefore, she must reveal all relevant survival information she knows to increase her chances of survival.

Qi Jing glanced at Gou Yigou, who was washing his paws at the faucet, and said lightly:

"Don't worry, you won't die."

With Observation Haki, no one can ambush him.

"Lao Gou, stop washing; there's a whole house of dwarves upstairs. This blood can't be washed clean; you'll probably be covered in it soon."

"Brother Qi Jing, wouldn't it be better to just charge straight up? Why do we have to fight them?"

Actually, Gou Yigou is slightly obsessive-compulsive and has a bit of germophobia; he really doesn't want to be covered in blood.

Besides, with so many people, how long would it take to kill them all?

"There's no choice; their mind control can't be dispelled, so they'll keep attacking us. We're just counterattacking; we have to fight back.

And think about it, if we let them out, wouldn't anyone who comes here be killed by them?

This place has become a demon's lair; we can only solve them all to restore peace to the world."

Qi Jing, in coordination with Gou Yigou, could indeed rush to the surface without alerting all the dwarves.

But the dwarves on the upper levels have already started moving upwards.

Once they get out, they will start indiscriminately killing, although most of the people here have committed crimes, there are also some poor people who haven't.

The kind-hearted Qi Jing felt it was necessary to eliminate this hidden danger.

After washing his paws, Gou Yigou advised again:

"Wouldn't it be better to seal the entrance? Let them suffocate to death; it's much easier."

"Lao Gou, you're more ruthless than me. I just want to give them a quick release, but you want them to die cruelly. You're too evil."

"What? How am I more ruthless than you?"

"Think about it, they can't get out, their supplies won't be replenished, and they'll be very hungry. Then, wouldn't these emotionless dwarves try to kill others and eat them? Tell me, aren't you more cruel than me?"

Eating is eating; Qi Jing doesn't really care.

What he cares about is, if this place, like other novels, produces the most powerful "Gu King" who comes out to take revenge on him, wouldn't his family be in danger?

To prevent this from happening, everyone here must die or be imprisoned.

But imprisoning them doesn't solve the mind control; it's useless, so it's better to kill them quickly.

"Lao Gou, if you don't kill them, you're the most cruel person in the world. Being with you makes me imagine them eating each other; it's so scary."

"Ah? Okay, I didn't think it through. Then let's kill them and give them a quick release."

Watching Qi Jing pretend to be afraid of him, Gou Yigou blinked.

Don't look at me with that devil-like gaze, okay!

Clearly, killing people is such a terrifying thing, how did you make it seem like saving the world!

Qi Jing urged again:

"Let's go, let's finish it early."

"Don't rush me; let me wash some more."

Gou Yigou moved to the side; the more he looked, the more he felt that Qi Jing's purpose wasn't so pure.

He remembered the last time he watched the competition, when this new king controlled the flying sword and crazily chopped off people's limbs, and then he thought about how this person often goes to kill large patches of armored crabs.

Could it be that he really enjoys killing?

Does he want to be a mass murderer this time?

Scary.

ヽ(*。＞Д＜)o゜

Qi Jing smiled, walked over, and put his arm around Gou Yigou's shoulder:

"Stop washing; there's a whole training ground of dwarves upstairs, all qualified after just taking the exam, all for you."

"Brother Qi Jing, I'm small and can't handle so much karma; why don't you do it?"

"Hey, what karma? This is merit, great merit. Are you not appreciating my kindness? I'm going to get angry, okay?"

Hearing these words in his ear, Gou Yigou turned his head and weakly asked:

"You don't want to chop me too, do you?"

"No, no, no, I'll just leave you here and take away your Return Talisman by the way."

So cruel?

I don't want to stay in this underground place anymore! I want to get out!

"Brother Qi Jing, I think I need these merits. Let's go, leave it all to me! Leave no one alive!"

Seeing Gou Yigou's compromised appearance, Qi Jing showed a fearful expression again:

"Lao Gou, you're too evil. I originally wanted to leave those newly kidnapped children, but you want to leave no one alive. Alas, people's hearts are not what they used to be."

"Ah?"

Gou Yigou stared at Qi Jing in disbelief, trying to find traces of a devil's transformation on his face.

I didn't expect that I thought you, with your thick eyebrows and big eyes, were a slightly perverted honest person, but you have so many bad ideas!

I said don't kill, you said kill, and I'm cruel.

I said kill, you said don't kill them all, and I'm still cruel.

The world is going downhill; why does such a person have such strength! And he's been recognized by Grandpa!

"I'll listen to you; whoever you say to kill, I'll kill! Damn it, Gouzi, I don't care anymore!"

Gou Yigou immediately transformed into a demi-human form, jumped up, broke through the ceiling, and entered the next level through the big hole.

He doesn't want to talk to this devil anymore; it's too bullying.

Who knew that just as he saw the hundreds of people on the training ground preparing to attack, Qi Jing's voice came from the hole below:

"Okay, then we won't kill them."

"Star... Huh?"

He had already attached the Void Hound to the enemies, ready to rush over, and you said we're not killing them?

Am I the dog, or are you the dog?

Gou Yigou quickly used Sky Covering Sun to conceal his aura, hid behind the wall, and roared at Qi Jing:

"Woof! Brother Qi Jing, are you playing with me?"
