Chapter 207: Trap
In the darkness, there are more than a dozen figures running through the forest, they are the leaders of several Assassins in Sydney, and their mission is to get rid of Xxx.
Running on the beast's path as if it were about to cut through the forest. The road condition is extremely poor, and there are constantly thin branches protruding on the left and right sides. However, there were more than a dozen people in the dark, and none of their clothes were torn apart, and it was not like they were running at a speed on a bad road.
The location in this forest is not far from the place of the Hills Empire! After all, they don't have an odometer and can't know how far they are from their destination, but they will have to run for a long time. However, the sound of hard metal colliding suddenly sounded, and the man just sighed in pain and did not scream. However, the sound still made the assassin running in front immediately stop, and several people behind also stopped.
"What happened?"
One of them asked.
"Hmm...... I...... I stepped on the trap ......"
The man who had stepped on the trap sat on the ground and said in pain and difficulty.
"Then use magic to see the injury, shall we?"
I don't know who said it in the dark.
"-No!"
A man sternly stopped.
"If you use lighting magic, you will definitely get the attention of the other party, and then our plan will fail!"
"Hey! You're so unkind, aren't you? He couldn't help but scream!"
A few people whispered in the darkness.
"It's okay to have lush branches here, with a beginner's firefly glimmer, right?"
Sydney looked around and said.
"Since you say so... So be it! ”
The group then used a faint light magic to check on his injuries.
The trap was already deep in his flesh, and the blood was all over the ground, but this man didn't shout, but he was a tough guy! Sydney thought to herself.
As if seeing Sydney's expression and learning of Sydney's thoughts, the injured man said:
"This is just a minor injury! Every one of us here can withstand torture and will not betray easily!"
Sydney expresses the appreciation of the dots, and there is a humane on the side:
"Bear with me, now I'll help you take the clip off first!"
Then he crouched down and opened the clamp with his hand, and saw the bloody feet, and even the bones inside, which could be imagined.
It wasn't a trap for humans, it was a trap for the tenacious creatures of wild bears. If it is caught in the ankle of a person, if you are not wearing leg armor, the force of the clamp may easily crush the bone.
The trap was not smeared with poison, so it was clear that the original purpose was not to kill the prey. It's just trying to thwart the prey. Reduces the opponent's mobility by increasing the number of wounded.
Sydney wondered in his heart, could it be that the other party already knew? No, let yourself go if you know it's impossible! Maybe it's a trap that the other side is trying to avoid them catching up.
The man gently removed his foot, gritted his teeth, and a lot of cold sweat flowed down his face, it seemed that the pain was not good, and he had been enduring it.
"I'm afraid he won't be able to participate in the operation like this!"
"Even so, we must participate, otherwise we will not have enough people!"
"Let's take a break here!"
A few people began to talk about it.
"What's there to fight about? Can I participate in this way? Drag your feet!"
Sydney drank low, and several people immediately fell silent.
Who are they? Why are others injured like this, and they refuse to let him rest? If you want him to participate, you will either die or drag your feet!
Anyway, this is a group, because there must be some sense of teamwork! In this case, Sydney is a little worried about whether it will be a mess when it gets there.
"Let's take a look around, there are no other traps, right? lest anyone else get hurt! ”
Sydney ordered, and then a few people took a magic shot, and there were only a dozen traps.
In addition to traps, it is reasonable to set up alarm bells and other traps. But they didn't find a similar trap.
"Why isn't there a continuous start trap? It stands to reason that this should be an effective way to stop it, right? ”
One of them muttered.
Sydney pondered for a moment, it is indeed strange, is it just a few clips? In this case, it means that the other party didn't expect them to come at all, right?
"Maybe the other party didn't expect us to come now!"
Sydney blurted out.
Everyone nodded in agreement, agreeing that this was a high possibility.
Sydney then looked around, presumably to see if anyone was hiding nearby. Seeing this, the others followed suit, until Sydney shook his head.
"It seems that there is no ambush here, let's move on!"
Sydney said.
"Captain Sydney, what about him?"
A man asked, looking at the injured man.
"If he says, you can send it back!"
Sydney replied as a matter of course.
"No way!"
Another man objected, and he walked out of the crowd and said:
"Do you know how to command? Do you know the dangers of this mission? Now that one person has been injured, we have lost the combat strength of a fighter, and you let him go, in this case, you just let everyone go, you can go by yourself!"
"That's it!"
I don't know who chimed in, but this time no one spoke for Sydney, maybe they also felt that the mission was too dangerous to be less than a few people!
Sydney didn't answer, because these people, including himself, didn't have the special skills to detect traps, so they couldn't spot the trap just now. There is no way to get this person injured, and naturally he can't punish him. It's too unreasonable to lower a penalty for something you can't do.
"I knew I should have let her come too!"
Sydney muttered to herself, but even if she said so, they wouldn't let Sisley participate in such a dangerous operation!
Sisley, who is with Kersma, has learned the profession of assassin, and with the special skills of thieves, she must be able to easily spot traps and other things.
Although there are no more around, there is no guarantee that there are no clips ahead! Maybe someone will get hurt, and in the face of such troubles, Sydney seems to be a little unsure of what to do.
Not to mention anything else, right now, this injured person can't go back on his own! He definitely needs company, and if there are any wild beasts around here, it stands to reason that two people should accompany him back.
Suddenly, Sydney thought of the healing potion and asked:
"Don't you have a healing potion?"
"Absolutely!"
Everyone replied neatly.
"If you have it, why don't you take it out and use it?"
Sydney looked at the injured man.
He smiled bitterly and said:
"Ordinary healing potions don't have much effect on treating injuries like this, our potion is a potion from Frey's pharmacy, it's very precious, and I need at least three bottles for an injury like mine! And our potion can only be used to escape when we are injured!"
He looked in the direction he came from, and continued:
"It's our rule to go back and use healing magic to heal minor injuries."
"Isn't it serious? ……”
Sydney looked at his feet speechless.
