Chapter 33: The Trap
During the three days of being grounded, nothing major happened, and the trio were not called back for investigation.
After three days of unpleasantness, they decided to take a random mission today and go out for a break.
When Yi Ming and the others walked into the mission hall of the Hunter Association, a man who was following the mission dynamics in the hall made a call: "Brother Xun, that kid has appeared, and the other two people in their team are also there." ”
"Well, I see, you keep an eye on the dynamics of the mission at any time, and they will report to me as soon as they take the task."
"No problem, Brother Xun, I'll do something, don't worry!"
Brother Xun on the other end of the phone ignored him and hung up the phone directly, this person didn't feel embarrassed, and continued to observe the dynamics of the task.
Even with Hongmeng's assistance, it is necessary to choose a suitable task carefully, but Yi Ming and the others just wanted to go out of the city to take on a task, so they didn't have so many scruples, and directly took on a task of hunting ghost frogs with a reward of 10,000 crystals.
The strength of the ghost frog is in the middle of the four-star beasts, and even without Yi Ming's joining, Li Jiaojiao and Jeliman can easily complete this task.
At the beginning, Mark's team went hunting ghost frogs because Li Xun just needed the materials of ghost frogs for weapon upgrades, otherwise their team's mission targets were at least five-star beasts.
Moreover, as the subordinate chief, Mark's team also has the ability to challenge beyond the level, so they will occasionally take on simple six-star missions.
After receiving the task, the three of them rushed straight to the mission area, but what they didn't know was that their movements had been reported to the "Brother Xun".
This Brother Xun is Li Xun, who was kicked out of the team by Mark, and he has now formed a team by himself, this team only has three people, but they are all four-star hunters.
Now Li Xun is leading his team to follow behind a young man, "Brother Fei, that kid's team has set off, and their goal is the ghost frog." When do you think it's time for us to do it? Li Xun asked respectfully.
If Yi Ming was present, he would recognize this young man at all, because he was Li Longfei, the five-star hunter who had invited Yi Ming before.
Li Xun and Li Longfei are cousins in an ordinary lord family in Longyang City, they became hunters at the same time, and the relationship between the two was not bad at the beginning, but Li Longfei was two years older and his talent was much higher than Li Xun after becoming a hunter.
Li Xun held a grudge against Yi Ming because he was kicked out of the team, so he found his cousin Li Longfei, who came to Letong City to perform a mission, and wanted to ask him to invite Yi Ming to join his team temporarily, and let out his anger after tricking Yi Ming out of the field.
Who would have thought that Yi Ming not only refused the invitation of a five-star hunter, but also directly became a disciple of the seven-diamond master Lei Wuze, and Yi Ming simply stayed in the hunting blade for the next month and did not come out.
Finally, when he finished his studies and began to take on the task, he was pulled by Li Longfei to assist in the mission, and there was no suitable opportunity to retaliate.
It wasn't until a few days ago that after receiving the news that Yi Ming and others had been grounded, Li Xun knew that his opportunity had come, and he hurriedly contacted Li Longfei, who had no task for the time being, and made a plan to take revenge on Yi Ming.
Li Longfei originally wouldn't care about a small three-star hunter, but in his plan, Yi Ming was just piggybacking, and his real target was Mark.
"Well, by the time we get to Mark, that kid is almost in the cave area. You take your people to the preset point first and wait for my signal, and as soon as you receive the signal, you will activate the mechanism immediately. Li Longfei commanded.
Although Li Xun felt uncomfortable with his attitude, he could only nod his head and agree, and led his newly formed team to the preset point in the depths of the forest.
At this time, Mark and the others, who got the map drawn by Yi Ming and started the investigation, did not know that they were walking towards the trap step by step.
At the intersection of forest and grassland 800 meters away from the edge of the mining area, Li Xun and others had already laid many chain traps here, just waiting for the arrival of Mark and others.
Because the grass grows to the height of half a person, as long as you squat on the ground is the best cover, plus these people are experienced hunters, it is difficult for them to clean up the traces, so Mark and the others did not find any clues, so they followed the map into the encirclement.
After seeing Mark walk into the encirclement, Li Longfei immediately sent out a signal. Li Xun, who received the signal, immediately activated the first trap of the chain trap.
The moment the trap was activated, four crossbow arrows suddenly rose from the left and right sides behind Mark's team, and more than a dozen arrows were fired at Mark and the others. Liu Liu, who was caught off guard and walked last, was hit by an arrow in his left shoulder and back, and the rest of the arrows were blocked by Tang Jiake, who had reacted, wielding a spear.
Mark hurriedly took out two bottles of wound medicine and handed them to Liu Liu, and while on guard, he turned on Hongmeng to call for support. But as soon as he saw the big no signal on Hongmeng, Mark knew that it was a carefully prepared trap and not a mistake that had touched the defense mechanism of the mining area.
"Liu Liu, how is it, is the injury serious?" Mark asked.
"It's not a big deal, it's just that I hurt my left shoulder, and it might be affected when I fight back for a while." Liu Liu also found out that this was a trap.
Mark nodded and said, "Be ready for battle, this trap must be a chain trap, be vigilant." ”
Although they all knew that there would be trap attacks in the future, looking at the weeds around them that were up to their waists, they couldn't see the traps at all, and at the same time, they were afraid of walking around at will to trigger the traps, and the three of them all felt powerless.
Mark knew that it would be very dangerous to keep going on like this, so he ordered Liu Liu to shoot arrows back and forth to see if there were any traps behind him.
Liu Liu took out three splitting arrows and put them on the string, shooting them into the air behind him. The three arrows split into fifteen short arrows as they fell, and the arrows fell into the grass without triggering any traps.
Seeing this situation, Mark frowned, since these traps are not triggered, then they must be controlled by people, and they have to leave quickly, otherwise their team is likely to be left here. Mark thought to himself.
But before Marx could come up with a plan, Li Longfei sent a second signal.
Mark, who had always been on high alert, noticed the activation of this trap and shouted, "Jump up and break through to the rear!" ”
As soon as the three of them jumped off the ground, a large amount of high-intensity electric light appeared from the ground around them, which was a paralysis trap used to deal with the six-star beast.
"Spread out to the right and left." Mark said in the air.
This time they managed to avoid being rounded up by two large nets.
"Don't land, just spread out and retreat!"
Mark's decision is very correct, so that at least one person can escape back, as long as he can escape out of the signal shielding area, he can call for backup, and when the time comes, none of these people who are ambushing themselves can escape.
Mark's idea is good, but Li Longfei is more prepared, and this time he and one of their team's long-range attackers are coming at Mark. The other two team members also took the two people from Li Xun's team to ambush Liu Liu and Tang Jiake.
And these people were all specially assigned to Mark's team, and the three of Mark were all as Li Longfei thought, and withdrew to the battlefield he had already arranged.
After the three of them dispersed, the remaining traps were specially prepared for Mark, and they were all traps with minimal movement but no small power.
Mark, who was flashing and moving at a low altitude, suddenly appeared around him with four power grids, sealing all his directions, and he had no choice but to raise his big sword and force him forward.
At this time, Li Longfei sneered and sent out the next signal.
"Boom", a silent poison-quenching crossbow arrow shot at Mark's back. At the same time, not far behind Li Longfei, his companion also fired a series of three paralyzing bullets.
Faced with this situation, Mark chose to fall to the ground, and he wanted to escape the moment he landed.
But the reality is always cruel, and Mark felt the ground start to sink the moment he hit the ground, and it was clear that it was a trap. What made him even more desperate was that the trap triggered at the same time as a paralysis trap, and he was paralyzed in an instant, and at the same time, the power grid above also fell and trapped him in the net.
Looking at Mark, who was trapped by the power grid and only had his upper body exposed to the ground, Li Longfei walked out laughing, and at the same time ordered his teammates and Li Xun behind him to support the other two.
It took half a minute for Mark to come to his senses, and when he woke up, he saw that he was tied up and couldn't move. Looking further, his eyes narrowed, and he gritted his teeth and said slowly: "Li Longfei!" It turned out to be you villain! ”
Li Longfei smiled and said, "Oh~, it turns out that our Chief Mark still knows me." I thought it wasn't you the one I saw more than a month ago. ”
"What are you trying to frame me for?"
Li Longfei stretched out a finger and shook it and said, "In the past, it was for personal grievances, but now it is for the task." ”
"Task? What task? Isn't your task the same as ours? Don't expect to make any excuses, when my teammates go out and call for backup, you'll regret it too late. ”
"Don't worry, Chief, your two teammates will be reunited with you in less than five minutes. I'm not going to kill you, I just want you to suffer. ”
Saying that, Li Longfei squatted down, stared at Mark with a smile and said, "Oh, by the way, it won't be long before the kid you brought to the test will also come to accompany you." When it's over, I promise you'll forget about it! ”
When Mark heard this, he knew that he couldn't run away this time, and he had to involve his teammates, and even Yi Ming was going to be involved, so he just hoped that Li Longfei's goal was really only himself.
It was only a little more than three minutes later that Mark heard dense footsteps, and when the group appeared, it was indeed with two teammates who had been tied up by the flowers. Except for the two newcomers to Li Xun's team, Mark knew everyone else in this group, because they were all teammates in the past.
Seeing that all three members of Mark's team had been caught, Li Longfei waved his hand and said, "Let's go, go to the cave area, our next target is waiting for us!" "This was deliberately said to Mark.
However, all Mark can do now is pray for Yi Ming.
