Jiang Boyue hurriedly said, "Young brother, tell me quickly what your plan is."
The others also looked on incredulously!
Ning Xue'er interjected, "You're not thinking of using an invisibility talisman to steal, are you? That won't work. The magma lizard can smell your scent and sense the movement of the surrounding air to pinpoint your location."
Upon hearing Ning Xue'er's explanation, everyone felt that using invisibility talismans was a possible solution, but one that was ultimately useless! They immediately became dejected.
Jiang Boyue asked, "Young brother, is the method you mentioned as Ning Xue'er said? Stealing by using an invisibility talisman?"
Lin Caogen shook his head and said, "No, I have other ideas!"
Upon hearing this, a glimmer of hope rose in everyone's hearts!
Fu Yunxuan said coldly, "Kid! Don't play me! I'm in a bad mood right now!"
Lin Caogen calmly said, "My method guarantees you'll get the dragon fruit within seven days!"
Fu Yunxuan asked excitedly, "Really?"
Lin Caogen laughed and said, "Of course it's true! If I can't get the dragon fruit, I'll give you my head in return!"
Hearing Lin Caogen's confidence, Fu Yunxuan couldn't help but feel hopeful.
Ji Fa said anxiously, "Since you have a plan, tell me quickly. If we can really get the dragon fruit, you tell me what to do, and we'll do it!"
Lin Caogen laughed and said, "I've already observed it! The dragon fruit tree is no more than three meters tall, with only a few fruits scattered on it. I have a way to steal it up, tree and all."
Fu Yunxuan was stunned and said, "What did you say? The whole tree, roots and all? It's already so difficult for me to get a dragon fruit, and you can steal the dragon fruit tree along with it?"
Lin Caogen nodded and said, "That's right! The method is very simple!"
Everyone looked on incredulously!
Lin Caogen pointed ahead and said, "Look! There's a big banyan tree over there, about three meters in diameter. That banyan tree is about three miles away from the dragon fruit tree!"
Looking in the direction Lin Caogen was pointing, Fu Yunxuan asked, "And then?"
Lin Caogen laughed, "Let's dig a hole in that banyan tree and keep digging downwards. Dig down to a depth of thirty meters, then dig towards the dragon fruit tree. Thirty meters of soil will be enough to block the magma lizard's high-temperature flames and also isolate the scent of humans. That magma lizard will never dream that a group of people are digging a tunnel under the dragon fruit tree it's guarding! Once we reach the base of the tree, we'll dig upwards again. Even if the magma lizard senses anything amiss, it won't breathe fire at the dragon fruit tree. Finally, we'll use our spatial ring to collect the tree and the soil together. With a body as big as that, how could the magma lizard possibly squeeze into the hole?"
These words left everyone speechless with astonishment.
Ji Fa said, "For the past few hundred years, I've only known how to fight and kill, but I've never thought of using my brain to solve problems. This kid's mind is truly full of ingenious ideas!"
Fu Yunxuan looked at Lin Caogen, a smile suddenly appearing on her face.
She thought this method was extremely feasible! Those magma lizards were nothing more than powerful creatures with little intelligence. When they reached the final stage of the excavation, she could distract them, while the people inside the tunnel could take the opportunity to harvest the dragon fruit tree by the roots. With her cultivation level, even if she couldn't defeat them, she could still escape.
Jiang Boyue nodded and said, "That's right, that's indeed a good idea. It's better than leaving without doing anything."
Ji Fa looked at Lin Caogen and said, "You've got a lot of ideas, kid! I'm impressed! Senior Sister! Let's do as this kid says!"
Fu Yunxuan nodded and said, "Okay! Let's get started now."
All around the large banyan tree, disciples of the Brahma Valley had sprinkled realgar powder!
The birds and animals around were unwilling to approach due to the pungent smell of realgar powder.
A whole day and night have passed!
An air-raid shelter measuring three meters in length and width has been dug out under the banyan tree.
The nine people rested in this "air raid shelter" at night, which was much safer than camping on the ground.
The next day at daybreak, the group resumed digging the tunnel.
Fu Yunxuan used the Obsidian Fire Sword, inserted it into the soil and spun it around, then used her internal energy to suck out a piece of soil the size of a bathtub, which was then transported to the outside of the banyan tree by others.
Watching the entire digging process, Lin Caogen thought to himself, "This is practically the Xiangang Continent's version of a tunnel boring machine. If these people were to dig subway tunnels on Earth, their efficiency would be incredibly high."
Three full days have passed. The group has dug a tunnel that is three miles long.
Seeing the dense fire element ahead of the tunnel, Fu Yunxuan took out a glowing stone and examined it closely. She discovered that the roots of a dragon fruit tree had already been unearthed. Although there were only a few scattered roots, digging along the direction of the roots would surely lead to the dragon fruit tree.
The group secretly dug upwards again, only to find that they were cutting off more and more dragon fruit tree roots.
After digging upwards for about 25 meters, when they were still 5 meters away from the ground, the four lava lizards suddenly became restless.
All they could hear was the lava lizard pacing back and forth above, its movements causing the ground to thud.
Fu Yunxuan called Jiang Boyue over and said, "Junior Brother Jiang, I'll go out and distract those lava lizards. Once you hear the sounds of battle on the ground, immediately cut down all the soil above and use your spatial ring to put the dragon fruit tree, roots and all, inside. Success or failure hinges on this."
Jiang Boyue laughed and said, "Don't worry, Senior Sister. By the time those lava lizards find me, I'll have already hidden in the tunnel."
Fu Yunxuan then asked, "Junior Brother Jiang, is there enough space in your spatial ring? This time, the mud and trees will probably take up a lot of space in the ring."
Jiang Boyue laughed and said, "Don't worry, Senior Sister. Brother Caogen gave me a space ring that he had been using. It's very spacious, ten meters long, ten meters wide, and ten meters high. It's more than enough to hold this dragon fruit tree."
