346, the third trap

Kikika fell to the ground with a heavy sound. He tripped over a rope. The rope appeared very suddenly, there must not have been such a rope on the ground, and it was only when Kikika came over that the rope suddenly appeared, tripped him like a taut bowstring, and at the same time a rope loop wrapped around his ankle and began to drag him forward after he fell to the ground.

It all happened so fast that Kikika was hanging from a tree before she could exclaim.

His body hung upside down, his head about an arm's length off the ground. His fingertips reached the ground when he reached out, but he couldn't give his body the slightest strength to support him, let alone reverse it.

At this time, Kikika's pig-like howl rang out.

Neither Aoki nor Su Huilan moved. It's not that they don't save when they see death, it's that the situation at that time doesn't allow them to calmly rescue.

Those who are familiar with jungle hunting know that hunters usually do not set a single trap, but rather multiple traps in an area to increase the success rate of the hunt. Sometimes these traps are still a chain of traps, and when you escape one, you will activate the next.

This is obviously not a place where large beasts are haunted, and it is self-evident who such a trap is set up to deal with. Aoki was sure that if he went to the rescue at this time, he would definitely fall into another ambush before saving Kikika.

Kikika cried out, "Help me! Help me! ”

His voice was hoarse, and his eyes were full of pleading. Because of hanging upside down, his head was bloodshot, his face was flushed, and his eyes were bulging.

"He was lucky enough to just be hoisted." Su Huilan said.

Aoki agrees. There are at least six traps in the surrounding stacks of fallen leaves and hidden grass, and if you step on one of them, it is difficult to say whether you can heal your injuries on such an island with limited medical conditions.

"Do you want to save people?" He asked.

"Save, of course I have to save, I haven't seen Petru yet."

"Okay."

Aoki said as he took two steps forward, carefully avoiding the trap on the ground, but instead of heading towards Kikika, he walked to another tree not far away.

He picked up a dead twig and gently brushed away the thick foliage, revealing three straight, sharpened branches, aimed like three arrows at where Kikika was hanging.

The three arrows were set up in the tree by a very elaborate bow-like device, the string of which had been drawn and a rope attached to it, and the other end of the rope was connected to the rope from which Kikika hung from the tree on this side.

In other words, as long as someone helps Kikika untie or cut the rope, as soon as the rope is loosened, the three arrows on that side will be shot, and in an unguarded situation, Kikika and the person who saved him have a high probability of being shot. Although this wooden arrow is not fatal, the injury is certain.

So in order to save Kikika, you must first solve this trap that is not easy to be discovered.

Su Huilan had to admire Aoki's observation, because this trap was very hidden, especially the relationship between the two traps. But just as Aoki was about to reach out and pull the rope behind her to let go of the wooden arrows, she suddenly shouted:

"Wait a minute!"

Aoki was stunned for a moment, then turned around and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Su Huilan said: "There will not only be two serial traps, there should be a third. ”

Aoki couldn't understand why there must be three serial traps, but since Su Huilan said so, he stopped. At the moment of stopping, an inexplicable dangerous intuition suddenly hit, causing his pupils and muscles to contract, and his whole body was in an extremely tense state.

Su Huilan sensed his strangeness and asked, "What's wrong with you?" ”

Aoki squinted at the pile of rocks on the hillside in front of him and said, "The third trap isn't here. ”

Su Huilan followed his gaze: "What is that?" ”

"Sniper."

There was silence in the woods, and even the sound of falling leaves could be heard very clearly. Although Kikika couldn't understand Chinese, she also felt something and looked at them nervously.

Aoki carefully felt the feeling when every pore on his body stood up, and said to Su Huilan: "Take two steps back to the right and stick to the tree, that position is a sniper dead end." ”

Su Huilan didn't move, and said, "If I hide in the blind spot of his shooting first, he will know that we have found him, and he may shoot you." Moreover, since he has not fired a gun yet, it means that he does not have the intention of killing us. As long as the sniper hesitates, we have a chance to get out of danger. As long as you go behind the tree in your current position, he won't be able to hit you. At your speed, we count three at the same time, and we can hide together to safety. Except for him......"

Su Huilan glanced at the hanging Kikika. Kikika can't move, he can be targeted at any time, and with the blood flowing backwards, he can't last long.

Aoki shook his head and said, "I know why he didn't shoot." ”

Su Hui Lanqi said: "Why? ”

"You're right, there's a third trap, but it's not the sniper rifle on the hill." Aoki squinted his eyes and said, "It's not that the sniper doesn't have the determination to kill us, but he treats us as prey, he's hunting, he's playing a game." He's going to drive us into the trap he's set up. ”

"You mean...... The third trap is in - behind the tree? ”

"That's right. The mechanism there is not in our field of vision, so no matter how careful we are, we can't find it, and it doesn't intersect with us, so we don't pay attention to it. But now it's different, a sniper rifle is pointed at me, and by instinctive choice, I will definitely hide behind a tree. There may be a net, or a deep pit dug in there. ”

"But if he doesn't shoot, how can we be sure we'll spot him and hide behind a tree?"

That's where his brilliance lies. If we can't find the second trap and rescue Kikika, then we are inferior prey in his eyes. Inferior prey is not worthy of a hunter's shot, and these three arrows are enough to kill us. But when we find the second trap and we're ready to disarm it, that's where we get interesting in the eyes of hunters. So he took out his gun and tested our superiority. If we fail to detect the Hunter's presence at this time, and instead take the risk of disarming the trap in the trees, he will probably not hesitate to shoot us. Because we're still not advanced enough to be worth his shot, but it's not worth his time to play. ”

Aoki reached out and brushed his hair, seemingly casually, but the crow was so chased by his fingers that he had no place to stand, so he had to jump into the bushes next to him.

"Then in his eyes, what is the real high-level prey?" Su Huilan asked.

Aoki said, "Truly high-level prey can not only avoid traps, but also detect the presence of hunters, avoid the muzzles of hunters, and even fight back against hunters." Only by conquering such prey can a master's heart be truly satisfied. I have a gut feeling that this guy is extremely confident in himself, and he deliberately let me discover him. Moreover, his mental strength is not weak. ”
