Chapter 181 "Trap Mine"
"Wait, why has the beast tide stopped halfway?" The Immortal Rat Daoist's ears were very sharp. He noticed that many demonic beasts had stopped their charge and started to open their mouths to gnaw and tear at the fake corpse.
The footsteps were much quieter.
He immediately ordered the pelican to descend and check what was going on. It descended into the midst of the beasts and saw blood and pieces of clothing scattered all over the ground. It immediately realized that someone had died, so it threw a large, dark ball at the beasts. After landing in the middle of the beasts, it immediately emitted a strange sonic whistling sound.
The monsters immediately felt extremely uncomfortable and ran away.
The mining mole pitifully clutched the strange-looking stone. "Why did the boss give me this and then leave? Is it something to eat?"
Just as it was about to take a bite, it suddenly felt an excruciating pain in its ears, as if they were about to explode, and a piercing sound shook its ears, causing it to fall off the tree.
The violent collision caused a severe disturbance to the image stone, which then activated automatically.
An image was transmitted back: a giant bird demon landed, and a human head emerged from its large beak.
The footage was only available for a short time, and even Zhong Ming himself couldn't control when the little guy would trigger it. It might bite a stone, or the chain holding the stone might break. Either way was possible.
Looking at the image emanating from the stone in his hand, Young Master Yan cleaved it in two with a gloomy expression.
"Get those idiots to work. They've already made a mistake once. If they do it again, don't blame me for being ruthless." His handsome face was covered in frost, both in an abstract and physical sense.
He kicked away the former commander's corpse. Countless severed limbs and torsos surrounded him, and blood flowed along the cracks in the bricks, soaking the entire ground. Unclaimed magical artifacts were stuck in the bones, and flames were engulfing everything in their path.
"Xiao Huang, let's go report that a secondary explosion has occurred at the military supply depot. Our forces are near the ruins of Qianmen, but the remaining fortifications are insufficient to support our defense. We have assembled all available troops to break out."
The rest were all elite guards of the Yan family. Their identities were extremely secretive, varied, and scattered. Only now did they realize that they were all on the same side.
The guards formed a defensive formation and positioned themselves near the gate. At Young Master Yan's command, they began to break through the encirclement, heading straight for Zhong Ming's team.
Behind them, a massive explosion engulfed everything.
.....
On the other side, the Immortal Rat Taoist's eyesight was no better than the Mining Mole's; he hurriedly searched for his storage bag among the blood and flesh on the ground.
He sniffed the air and found very little human blood; most of it was the flesh of demonic beasts. This puzzled him, as there shouldn't have been any demonic beasts that had died.
But touching the storage bag excited him; a piece of clothing was stuck to the bag.
He pulled hard, separating the clothes from the storage bag, and the explosive tag stuck to the back of the bag was instantly detonated.
The area was a complete mess after the violent explosion.
The Immortal Rat Taoist lay on the ground, his hands covered in blood. A fine jade bracelet was shattered on the ground, and drops of blood dripped onto the fragments, reflecting the Immortal Rat Taoist's miserable state.
His clothes were torn to shreds, revealing his close-fitting gold-threaded soft armor. The remaining clothes were still burning, and his thick, beautiful hair was mostly burned off. His face was badly injured.
"You bastard, you dared to scheme against me!"
He was in a fit of rage when he heard the faint sounds of several malevolent beasts approaching.
Human blood... roasted meat... smells so good.
Immortal Rat Taoist was furious. He plugged in his earplugs and unleashed a violent sonic boom attack, causing the surrounding demon beasts to collapse, foaming at the mouth.
Another spiritual message arrived at that moment. He angrily took it down, only to feel as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over him.
As the saying goes, it's okay to make mistakes, but it's a disaster if your superiors find out. What kind of magical methods does Young Master Yan have? He was warned right after he got into trouble?
Old Miao even had a brief moment of doubt, wondering if he had been ambushed by Young Master Yan.
He quickly dismissed the idea, checked the storage bag to make sure it was empty, and casually hung it on his waist.
Pelicans, come here, let's keep chasing.
Pelicans?
The pelican was foaming at the mouth; the sonic boom had seriously injured it.
With a helpless expression, the Immortal Rat Taoist took out a dark-colored robe from his storage bag. The sleeves billowed in the wind, growing as large as wings in the blink of an eye. He took flight and casually picked up a demon beast that was still in the sky, and sat on it.
.....
Zhong Ming ran wildly, and seeing that no monsters were chasing him, he threw out a second fake body at a corner and then quickly hid in the woods.
The path that the "human-powered wheelchair" travels on is one of the paths opened up by our ancestors to the lakeside, and very few people walk all the way to the end.
Those who come here for training are all after monsters or mountain delicacies; very few exploration team members actually head towards the lake. As a result, this path becomes more and more deserted as you go further along it.
Xuan Jingdu complained, "This road is too difficult to travel. Luckily, all the demon beasts have gone to the front line. Otherwise, if demon beasts showed up ahead, we would be in deep trouble."
"You jinx, stop talking now."
Yue Kaishan suddenly jumped over a large tree root that rose from the ground, making Chen Dahai's buttocks hurt. Even more uncomfortable was Chi Tong, who was hanging upside down in his wheelchair.
"Hey, how about experiencing riding in a bridal sedan chair beforehand?"
"What? Is this how you carry a bridal sedan chair? I get it now. When my little sister gets married, I'll..."
"You idiot, let's get out of here first." Zhong Ming jumped out of some tree and landed on the wheelchair. The two of them felt uncomfortable as they sank into the wheelchair.
"Hurry up, the monsters in the sky are gathering again, they'll find us soon."
Zhong Ming glanced at the map; just around the corner was the vast plain. The wheelchair's thrusters had cooled down considerably; it was time for a race.
Who says that creatures that run on the ground can't outrun those that fly in the sky? Today, we're going to have a showdown with them.
The moment I burst out of the forest, the fresh scent of the grassland rushed towards me. The place, free from the rampant chaos of large monsters, was so peaceful and tranquil. The grass stretched to the horizon, and wildflowers bloomed everywhere.
"Chen Dahai~~ What's the name of your wheelchair?"
"Wheelchairs have names?" Chen Dahai was full of questions. "No, why would we need names?"
"Just take one now. What did you have for your last meal?"
"It looks like... pork dumplings?"
"Okay, Pork Dumplings, forward!"
The thrusters unleashed a powerful thrust, and Chen Dahai felt a terrifying push against his back. The surrounding scenery flashed by like a carousel, and his ears were filled with the whistling of the wind.
