Chapter 6: The Trap

Li Xinchen's footsteps slowed down involuntarily, although he was still not sure why, but he always gave him a strong sense of crisis around him, and he didn't know if it was because of the gloomy nature of the deep mountains and old forests, or because the enemy was close to the left.

Just as Li Xinchen wanted to take a step forward, Seinfeld behind him grabbed him, this guy turned pale, and stretched out his finger to the ground in front of Li Xinchen. Li Xinchen was stunned for a moment, then immediately understood, carefully squatted down and looked carefully, and couldn't help but gasp. Just now, my attention was on the surrounding bamboo forest, and I didn't deliberately care about my feet, after all, I didn't encounter a trap at all along the way, but who would have thought that this trap would suddenly appear here.

In fact, this trap is not very hidden, but it is covered with some dead branches and leaves, and even its outline can be faintly seen, not to mention these people who have been in the mountains and forests for a long time and have learned to arrange traps since childhood.

It's just that Li Xinchen's eyes didn't look at his feet just now, so he didn't find this sudden trap at all, but fortunately, Seinfeld behind him kept watching, and his eyes quickly grabbed him, otherwise Li Xinchen would have to suffer.

"It's really okay with this hand." Li Xinchen carefully removed the shelter on the trap, below was a pit that was not very deep, and at the bottom of the pit, the sharpened bamboo was facing the top, although the pit was not deep, but the person who fell down would inevitably be pierced out of seven or eight holes by the bamboo.

What really impressed Li Xinchen was the location of the trap. This mountain road is obviously artificially forcibly opened up, so it is naturally easy to make the rest of the people who walk along this mountain road wonder, even if it is a hunter like Seinfeld who has been in the mountains for a long time, he will consider whether there will be traps or other dangers, and Li Xinchen did test it, and the facts show that there are no traps in the first section of this mountain road.

And even when it came to the place where the mountain road narrowed just now, there was no trap, and after walking a few steps forward, this trap appeared a little abruptly, but even if it was abrupt, the people who walked here had already been accustomed to the safety on the road, so they would not deliberately pay attention to their feet, such as Li Xinchen just now.

Fortunately, Seinfeld and the others have been in the mountains for a long time, and they have not relaxed their vigilance because of the safety of this section of the road, and Orion has an extremely keen ability to perceive traps, so they can find the strangeness here in time.

Song Fei squatted down and followed Li Xinchen to look the trap up and down, and then said softly: "Brother Chen, the place where this trap is arranged is really unexpected, but looking at the trap arranged, it is absolutely shoddy, even the children in our village who have just gone out to hunt for a year or two will not make such a trap." ”

Li Qiu behind him also nodded and said: "This trap is not deep enough, even if a living person falls, that is, he is injured, and even if he is lucky, he can climb out alive by himself, and the walls of the surrounding pit are obviously not tightly beaten, it is easy to collapse and bury by himself, not to mention that the branches and leaves covered on it are a little dense, and there is a suspicion of deliberate camouflage." ”

Li Xinchen nodded, even if he is a little white in this regard, he can see that this trap is indeed a little coping, or it is very likely that the person who arranges the trap is not very good at this aspect, which seems to prove that these bandits were originally the identity of the rangers, but what really worries Li Xinchen is that although this trap is not very good, the location of the arrangement is very bad, even if it is an old hunter in the mountains, if you are not careful, you may miss the front hoof, and this trap is arranged in the middle of the road, Apparently for the sake of killing.

It shows that this is a group of enemies who are proficient in killing skills and are not very afraid of killing, and nine times out of ten they are a group of veteran oilers.

Even if Li Xinchen has never been on the battlefield in his two lives, he also knows very well that the veteran Youzi is much more difficult to deal with than those rookie recruits, because the rookie only knows how to charge blindly, while the veteran Youzi knows how to save his life while putting the enemy to death.

"Keep going." Li Xinchen patted Seinfeld on the shoulder, motioning for him to watch behind him, and he himself picked up the scythe and carefully stepped through the trap.

Seinfeld and the others hesitated for a moment, and they all nodded solemnly, obviously the methods of these enemies also frightened them more or less, but after all, they were all young men, and they were the pillars of the village, if they couldn't move forward to find out the matter clearly, I'm afraid that no one else in the village would have this ability.

At this time, for the sake of the women and children in the village, the old and weak, even if they are hard-headed, they have to go up.

The mountain road was still very narrow, and the forward path was completely interrupted without a hundred zhang, and on the way, Li Xinchen and they found two more traps, similar to the traps at the beginning. Standing at the end of the mountain road, Li Xinchen looked at the row of bamboos lying in front of him, and couldn't help frowning, why didn't these thieves leave when they arrived here? The bamboos in front of me were no denser than the rows of bamboo walls they had just encountered, and with the means of thieves, they could easily split a path.

At this moment, the sound of the mountain wind could be faintly heard, and although it was very low, it was still possible to discern the direction from which it was coming from. And Seinfeld, Li Qiu and Zheng Qing also subconsciously pricked up their ears, the ears of the hunters in the mountains are the guys who eat, and they can distinguish the voices of insects and beasts in the mountains, let alone the voices of people.

“······ This village doesn't look easy to deal with······"

"Don't be afraid, we can ······ then"

“······ Don't take too long, hurry back and ······"

The voices in the wind are all intermittent, but the identity of the other party can be vaguely heard, and it is the person who has ill intentions towards the village. And Seinfeld's faces became solemn at this time, and they all looked up at Li Xinchen, Seinfeld just wanted to say something, but was stopped by Li Xinchen, Seinfeld nodded, and then stretched out his hand and pointed in the direction of the village, and waved his hand, the meaning was very clear, it was not the people in the village who spoke.

Li Xinchen leaned behind a few thick bamboos, tilted his head slightly, and just saw two sneaky figures coming towards the mountain road, and the three of them also slowly lifted the sickle and hoe in their hands, obviously seeing these two people as well.

I have to say that the two spies selected by the bandits are quite agile and shuttle back and forth between the bamboos, so it is no wonder that they can move forward even if they do not open the way.

"Do you think anyone will find the way we opened?" Approaching Li Xinchen's hiding place, one of them asked.

"Of course not," said the other with a smile, "our path is hidden enough that it is impossible to find unless we are deliberately looking for it." And it went all the way to a place not far from the village, from where the brothers could rush out and kill them by surprise. ”
