Chapter 35: The Assassin Who Lost His Courage

The simple nest where Ying Ying and the others lived for more than three hours has now completely disappeared, the flames are scattered on the ground within a radius of dozens of meters, and the temporary wall composed of bamboo and soil has not even left any fragments, but the two boulders that were originally leaning against each other are still intact.

"Another trap?" muttered the Assassin leader, glancing at the burned corpse at his feet.

Having just discovered that the arrow that shot the man-eating wolf did not belong to him, the leader of the Assassins immediately realized that his target, instead of fleeing, had been watching them all along. The attacks of the man-eating wolf and the giant snake were very strange, and they were only suspicious before, but now they are sure that they were deliberately arranged by the other party.

After confirming that his target had not gone far, the Assassin leader immediately ordered all the Assassins to pursue him, but things were not as simple as he thought.

As soon as he left the camp, someone stepped on the traps, and although they were all made of the simplest sticks, rattans, and stones, it was these things that could be found everywhere that were so terrifying in combination. A master at the peak of bone refining was actually smashed by two stones and broke his ribs, and now he is still vomiting blood, and it is estimated that he will not survive. There is also the leader of the four teams, a beginner master, who can be released to the existence of the famous town, but he was crushed by a boulder the size of a house, and the rest of his life is completely wasted.

He didn't understand, the previous mechanisms were all right, but the design was more subtle. However, that boulder is afraid that it will not be 100,000 catties, how did the other party lift it? Could it be that there are true immortals in the front team who are in the stage of condensing souls? What kind of people are still running? Wouldn't it be better to turn around and chop up all these people who are usually chopping melons and vegetables?

Because he had been thinking about the problem of the boulder, the leader of the assassins didn't pay much attention to the strange scene in front of him. As soon as the assassin who had just gone to inspect the nest opened the bamboo door, the entire nest turned to ashes with a loud bang, and even the person who opened the door became a corpse in front of him.

The sudden explosion was clearly a trap as well. The Night God Temple itself has a Lei Zhenzi made by Danshi, and he doesn't understand this kind of thing, but it's not very strange. He was still more focused on the boulder from before. With the strength of a cultivator, a person who can hold up that kind of weight, even if it is a type of specialized strength, is definitely not something he can compete with. However, the current form is already difficult to ride a tiger, and so many people have been broken, if he can't complete the task, he will die if he goes back, even if there is really a true immortal in front of him, he has to go up.

"One, what do we do now?" asked the female Assassin leader from earlier.

"Watch your feet and keep chasing. ”

The female assassin turned and waved her hand, "Search forward." ”

After really running, Tianyou has no time to set traps, and ordinary traps are useless to deal with those people. Like the boulder that the Assassin leader couldn't figure out, he had to waste a lot of effort to get it right.

Of course, Tianyou didn't have the strength to lift the boulder directly, he still relied on his brain. Pull down the branches of the tree first, and then attach the rope to the boulder so that the force of the trunk rebounding will cancel out part of the boulder's gravity. A single tree may not do much, but using the surrounding trees can cancel out most of the gravity, and then the boulder can be easily lifted with the simplest lever principle.

It took a lot of effort to get that organ Heavenly Blessing, but the effect was also very good, and a congenital master was abolished. Of course, luck is the most important thing, after all, he can't control who steps on the mechanism, and it is normal to spend half a day trying to kill only one miscellaneous fish. Fortunately, he was lucky and was born.

In fact, the loss of the Night Temple along the way was not as simple as three people. In addition to one killed by the explosion, one seriously injured, and one crippled, there was also one person in the Night Temple who was stabbed by a bamboo spear fed with poison and died of poisoning. One person suffered a fracture in both arms from a stone blocking the fall. Four minor injuries of various kinds, and two eyes were smoked with poison and smoke, swollen like fish bubbles, even if they could be cured, there was no hope for this operation.

Originally, when the leader of the assassins received the mission, he heard that he would bring more than 100 people, and he wondered if the person in charge of assigning the task in the organization had kicked the donkey in the head. A guard plus six children, plus a guide. This kind of lineup requires more than 100 people, and 10 people can afford them. But now he doesn't think so, and even a little lucky, thanks to the fact that he brought more than a hundred people out.

To ensure that nothing was missed, the Assassins of the Night Temple spread out horizontally, forming three horizontal formations. While ensuring the width of the front, it also takes into account the fault tolerance rate, ensuring that no clues are missed. Up to now, these assassins in the Night Temple have actually transitioned from simply completing the mission to a state of holding their breath and preparing for revenge. Usually they are looking for trouble with others, and this is the first time they have been bullied so badly.

"We're not really going to be caught, are we?" asked Mu Ruyu, seven or eight miles ahead of the assassins, as he hurried behind Tianyou.

"Don't worry, I won't let anything happen to you. ”

Lu Zhengyi said in a weird manner on the side: "Who knows if you did it on purpose." Such a good opportunity in the evening actually made us stop, and if we had used that time to hurry, we would have escaped. ”

Tianyou was almost angry with Lu Zhengyi, and the white-eyed wolf was just like that, right? But he still endured it. It is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, and it is not too late for a villain to take revenge from morning to night. Lu Zhengyi is a typical real villain, and there is really no need to offend this kind of person.

"Besides, I'm not worried, what are you worried about?"

As soon as he heard Tianyou's words, Lu Zhengyi became angry. "We're the Assassins, you're not, so of course you don't have to worry. ”

"Who says I'm not worried? If you are caught, you will die, and I may not even want to die!"

Lu Meng asked suspiciously, "Why? Do you have a grudge against those assassins?"

Originally, Lu Meng asked rhetorically, but he didn't expect Tianyou to really nod. "Originally, it was nothing, but now it's hard to say. Seeing that several people around him were looking at him suspiciously, Tianyou could only explain: "Do you remember when I went to cut bamboo before entering the valley last night?"

Everyone nodded, after all, everyone had a pontoon made of bamboo at that time.

"I had set a trap in the woods, and if anyone approached it, they would be stained with my peculiar powder, which would attract a large group of shallow crocodiles as soon as it got out of the water. ”

"Wait, what are you talking about shallow water crocodiles?" everyone was a little puzzled, because they didn't even touch shallow water crocodiles when they entered the valley. At that time, the reason why Yin Ruhua dragged everyone to the bottom was because she encountered a fish in the dark, and her emotions were unstable at that time, and when she suddenly touched something slippery, she immediately collapsed, and then kicked and moved, but was entangled by the rope that connected everyone, which caused everyone to sink to the bottom together. After that, everyone in that nest had already learned about what had happened, and there was no mention of the shallow water crocodile.

Tianyou reluctantly explained: "The river we entered the valley is actually the territory of the shallow water crocodile. ”

"What? You actually took us into the river where the shallow crocodiles lived? Do you know that if we people have three long and two short ......?"

"Enough. Ying Ying suddenly interrupted Lu Zhengyi, "Tianyou should know how to avoid shallow water crocodiles before taking us down." And then it turned out that we really didn't encounter a shallow water crocodile, did we?"

Ying Ying's statement, others also reacted. They didn't seem to have encountered a shallow water crocodile.

Tianyou hurriedly explained: "Do you remember that I tied the pontoons on your bodies for you?"

"What did you do at that time?" asked Lu Zhengyi.

"Yes, I took the opportunity of tying up the pontoons to order some snake essential oil for each of you. Tianyou said as he took out the bottle of snake grass essential oil. "This is it. I made it myself with herbs, which can repel mosquitoes, and it has a very nasty smell in it, just a little bit can make the shallow water crocodile walk around you. ”

"So amazing?" Yin Ruhua looked at the small bottle with some surprise, and wanted to take it over to take a look, but Tianyou put it away and didn't show it to them. The team isn't moving fast right now, but it's not dawn yet. Snake grass essential oil can still be used later, in case it is sprinkled by this eldest lady, it will be troublesome.

"Of course the snake grass essential oil is magical, otherwise why do you think I dare to take you around the forest in the middle of the night? This woodland is the territory of the giant snake, and if it is discovered, ten of us will die. ”

"This thing is also useful for the giant snake?" Lu Zhengyi asked in disbelief.

"Otherwise, why do you think that a bottle of potion that can repel insects and expel shallow water crocodiles is called snake grass essential oil instead of crocodile essential oil? Smell this, and the serpent will treat you like one of its kind. As long as you don't appear face to face in the serpent's line of sight, it won't pay attention to you. ”

"Eh, you haven't said why those assassins have a grudge against you?" Yin Ruhua suddenly asked.

Tianyou's smug expression when he first introduced snake grass essential oil instantly collapsed. "Didn't I just say that? I've set up powder outside the valley that attracts shallow water crocodiles, and those people who get into the water and then go into the water are sure to attract a whole bunch of shallow water crocodiles. I don't know if they were dead, but when I watched their camp, I did see that many of them were wounded. ”

"That's it?"

"Eh......"

"What else are you doing that lacks virtue?"
