"Is that Pei Nansheng and Zuo Ling? Hahaha, we've been waiting for you for so long. Why are you only arriving now, and at night no less? You little rascals are always like to steal things."

The voice was unfamiliar; I couldn't tell who it was.

No one responded, so the man said again:

"What, you got blown up? No way, with such little skill, you dare to come here? Heh, you really don't know how to spell death."

The rumbling outside hadn't stopped. Zuo Ling sneered, "They really think highly of us, setting up such a huge minefield."

Just by listening to the explosions, you can tell that there were at least several hundred landmines buried along the road from the bottom of the cliff to the base gate. They were afraid that the bombs wouldn't kill them.

Pei Nansheng's face turned ashen; the moment the landmine went off, he knew he had fallen into a trap.

His worry wasn't for himself, but for his mother—was she really still alive?

The man cursed and swore for a long time, but still received no response. He exclaimed, "No way, it really exploded? Someone come quick, someone come and see what happened."

A team of fully equipped armed personnel emerged from the base and cautiously advanced step by step toward the location where Zuo Ling and his group were.

Landmines had blasted the land into a series of ravines, making the roads difficult to traverse. It took the armed personnel a great deal of effort to reach the position where Zuo Ling and his group were standing.

After searching everywhere, they couldn't find even a single hair.

"How is that possible!" the man cursed, cursing a bunch of useless people. "Keep looking, there's no way there won't be anything."

The armed men had no choice but to continue their search.

Zuo Ling watched them mess around in the space, a smirk playing on her lips. "Come on, you like to play, don't you? Then let's have some fun."

An hour later, the armed men, having gained nothing, retreated to their base.

Liu Bao'er listened to the sounds outside with her eyes closed. When she heard that no one had been found, she opened her eyes briefly, then closed them again.

After waiting for more than an hour, the noise gradually subsided. The two of them stepped out of the space and stood still, not taking another step forward.

Pei Nansheng took out a disc and unleashed his fire power, while Zuo Ling threw about ten grenades into the flames Pei Nansheng unleashed.

Thud, thud, thud...

The landmines that hadn't detonated in the previous round started exploding one after another.

The fire-based superpowers, combined with the power of grenades and landmines, once again turned the night sky red.

The piercing alarms, the curses, and the searchlights came alive once again.

A loudspeaker blared a man's furious voice:

"Alright, those two wolf cubs aren't dead yet. Come on, come on, I'm waiting for you."

Another group of armed men emerged from the base. This time, they advanced while firing indiscriminately, grenades flying everywhere like fireworks in the night.

Unsurprisingly, they couldn't find anyone again.

The man grew impatient and shouted, "Come out! Get out here! Don't hide in the gutter like a rat..."

Zuo Ling ignored him and leisurely hid in the space to watch the excitement.

The armed personnel withdrew, but the searchlights remained on, searching every corner again and again.

Zuo Ling suddenly changed her mind and said to Pei Nansheng, "Let's not go in for now, let's wait a few days before we talk about it."

Pei Nansheng had no objections, removed his equipment, and went back to his room to sleep.

Zuo Ling slept soundly, but Pei Nansheng, worried about his mother, didn't close his eyes all night.

As dawn broke, armed personnel came out to search the mountains.

Liu Bao'er had dark circles under his eyes; after waiting all night, his small body simply couldn't take it anymore.

"Elder... we couldn't find him."

The man reported to Liu Bao'er in a panic.

Liu Bao'er was too tired to waste words with him and waved him out.

After the man left, Liu Bao'er opened her eyes. "Spatial abilities, huh? Not bad. You've reached this level. I underestimated you. Very good, very good..."
