Watching Bowwow messing around with the big cat, Lin Qiao nodded in agreement,
You’re right. That’s exactly what it’s trying to say!



Owowowowo!
The dog had his attention attracted by the big red cat once he came out of the space, so he had no idea what his friend had just been through. At that moment, he was barking at the cat with his head reared up.

The big cat stood on a huge and thick leaf as it licked its mouth and teeth, looking down at the silly dog coldly and proudly. The dog wanted to attack the cat but lacked the courage, as he himself was weaker. If the cat ignored him, he’d rush up to bite its tail, and when the cat turned around to scratch him, he’d flee away very quickly before barking at the cat from a safe distance.


Alright, Bowwow, stop barking! If you attract some other things to come and eat you, I’m not gonna save you,
Lin scared the dog. She found Bowwow’s behavior amusing and annoying at the same time. The dog seemed to very much want to cause trouble but didn’t have the courage.


Wowooo…
On hearing her words, Bowwow immediately turned and growled at her.


This is his territory, and your level is even lower than his. Can you please stop provoking him? Be careful!
said Lin Qiao to the dog.

Bowwow glanced at the big cat before turning and walking over to Lin Qiao reluctantly.

Lin Qiao looked around to observe the surrounding area. Hearing no sound, she said to Duan Juan,
Those things seem to be afraid of this red cat. They never came out again since this cat showed up.


Duan Juan nodded,
Yes. I think they’ve gone far away by now.


Lin Qiao turned back and looked at the area where she and her people came from as she tittered and said,
Those things have gone away, but some people are making moves.


Duan Juan understood what she meant.
Are Huaxia people here?
she glanced at Lin Qiao and asked,
Is that woman finally taking action? Si Kongchen is so persistent! What made him think the woman is strong enough to kill you? Doesn’t he know about your true power level already?


Lin Qiao turned to look at her and say,
You’re wrong. He doesn’t plan to fight me with his actual strength. He always likes to play dirty tricks. Or, he has probably developed some new kind of weapon or drug.


Duan Juan furrowed her brows and thought for a moment. Then, she paused briefly and raised her head,
Are you saying that Si Kongchen has prepared some kind of drug or weapon for that woman to deal with you?


Lin Qiao looked at her and then turned around,
Of course! You’d also choose other ways to hurt your enemy over a face-to-face fight if you’re not strong enough to win. In a good way, this is called circumventing. War allows deceit. To destroy your enemy, you can use any method.


After saying that, she looked around and gave her order to the others,
Prepare for an ambush! Since she’s ready to take action, let’s see what she has for me. Ding Datong, Li Hongsheng, you guys come here!



Yes, ma’am!
Receiving the order, the others immediately scattered and hid away. Meanwhile, Li Hongsheng and the other human team members gathered in front of Lin Qiao in a straight line.


You guys will stay in my space. You might hinder the others by staying out here.
Lin Qiao threw out a rope for them to hold, and in the next second, she disappeared together with them.

Back on the earth’s surface, she told the others that all who would follow her into the underground realm were at or above level-five. But in fact, she was talking about her zombie teammates back then and not including the humans. Her plan was to put the lower-leveled ones in her space when the battle was about to start.

After throwing the lower-leveled ones into her space, she glanced at Bowwow, who was squatting nearby, and said,
Bowwow, the enemies are coming here. Watch out!


Bowwow immediately stood up on all fours as he closed his mouth and retracted his tongue, raising both ears straight and putting his tail between his legs.


Go and hide!
Lin Qiao pointed at the jungle nearby and shouted.

Woosh! Bowwow seemed like a black gust of wind as he disappeared into the area that Lin Qiao was pointing at.

The big red cat had stood up as well. It slightly lowered its head and wagged its tail from side to side rhythmically.

Lin Qiao glanced at the cat, who didn’t need to be warned, because it had already grown alert. After turning around and giving another glance at the area where the Huaxia Base woman’s vibe was detected from, Lin Qiao disappeared within a blink.

The others had all found places to hide as well, and the area suddenly fell into absolute stillness.

A distance away, Xie Longyun abruptly stopped moving and landed on a slanting branch of a plant as she put a fist beside her ear. She first focused her eyes on the front area and then looked around.

Following her movement, the people behind her all quietly stopped moving and waited for her further instructions. After two seconds of silence, Xie Longyun blinked her eyes and said,
She hid away. Has she found out about our plan already?



That’s impossible! We’ve been keeping our operation strictly confidential. How could she possibly know?
The vice-captain behind Xie Longyun said questioningly.

Xie Longyun looked straight ahead as she spent a short while carefully detecting the vibes of Lin Qiao and her people. Then, she pointed a finger ahead and led her people to keep moving forward.

Before long, she came to the area where Lin Qiao and her people fought the tree roots. Looking at the leaves which newly fell on the ground and some signs of struggles, Xie Longyun had the look on her face growing cold gradually.

She sensed the vibes that the All Beings Base woman and her people left behind. Her people had obviously scattered while her own vibe disappeared right where it was, as if she never left that spot but vanished into thin air instead. Or, she might have hidden into her space.

Xie Longyun looked around. As she found her guess very likely to be right, her pretty face grew colder and colder.

If that woman had really found out about her plan and hidden into her space, her mission could now be considered to have failed. In that case, she could only wait for the next opportunity or find out a way to lure the woman out.


Let’s go!
With that thought, Xie Longyun left the area with her people decisively.

At that moment, Lin Qiao was actually standing on a leaf of a tall plant right near Xie Longyun, watching her and her people. After the latter and her people leave, Lin Qiao didn’t show her face immediately.

The red cat showed up before she did, holding a strange-looking, black fruit in its mouth. It stood on the side and looked around but didn’t find Lin Qiao. Anyhow, it stayed quiet and found a large leaf to gently put the black fruit on. Then, it squatted next to the leaf, seemingly waiting for Lin Qiao to show up.
