Chapter Twenty-Five: I'm Afraid of Raising People

"What's going on?" a black-clad masked man quickly ran to his companion who was rolling on the ground, first stopped him so that he couldn't struggle, and then opened his palm, only to see that the man's eyes were swollen like two lychees hanging on his face, which was very terrifying.

When the visitor saw this, he immediately frowned, and took a closer look at the glimmer that was still left. If there is no problem with the rupture of the eye itself, it should not be a trauma.

"What the hell is going on with you?" asked the person as he fed him two pills to stop the pain.

"I ...... I don't know what's going on! Just now you asked us to search around, and I found that a few bamboos had been cut down here, so I came to check, but as soon as I got closer, I stepped on the mechanism, and a cloud of smoke bounced off the ground. I jumped out of the way, but I still hit the hook. ”

After hearing this, the visitor immediately put the person down, returned to the vicinity of the downed bamboos and searched carefully, and soon found some strange traces on the ground.

There are three thin bamboo sticks like arches on the ground, and there are some small bamboo branches scattered on the ground around it, which are not particularly numerous, and there are many bamboo branches that have grown naturally or broken by animals on the ground, so these few are not conspicuous. If it weren't for the fact that the bamboo branches were still emerald green, and there was a difference in color from the surrounding bamboo branches, it would have been difficult for him to notice.

In addition to these bamboo branches, the most suspicious are the two thin ropes. No, it wasn't a rope, it was a bamboo skin, a very thin, thin bamboo skin. This thing is the outermost layer of oily skin of the bamboo, scraped off with a knife. But just as it is difficult to keep peeling the skin of an apple, the skin of bamboo is even more difficult to peel and can be cut if you are not careful. However, as long as you can peel off the bamboo skin, you can rub it casually and it will be an extremely tough rope. This kind of rope is not very tough, but it is very strong, and it is resistant to scratching and cutting, and it is not easy to cut. Another disadvantage is that it can't last long, as soon as the sun is exposed, it will become brittle and unusable in a day or two, so it can only be a disposable thing.

The bamboo branches may have been touched by passing animals, but animals will never cut the bamboo skin and rub the ropes, and the three arch-like bamboo branches on the ground obviously play a fixed role. These things are unremarkable when viewed separately, but together they can only be one thingβ€”a trap.

Despite discovering the trap, the man was completely unable to judge how the trap worked. The mechanism made of bamboo flakes bounced off automatically when triggered, and all the materials were scattered on the ground, so it was impossible to tell how it was built. Still, he found something hurtful on the ground.

It's a layer of black powder, because he doesn't dare to touch it, so he can't be sure what it is, it's definitely poisonous anyway, just look at the eyes of the guy in the back.

Because of the screams just now, the searchers scattered around gathered one after another. Seeing the men in black coming out of the bamboo forest, one of them asked, "What's the situation?"

"A trap. The materials are all taken locally, I can't see anything famous, and there are some black powders, I didn't dare to touch them, it should be poisonous, and Siqi's eyes are wasted. ”

Among the several people on the periphery, a female masked figure who was obviously petite decisively ordered. "Ninety-seven send four-seven away, and you will be evenly divided when the task is completed. ”

One of them walked out, picked up the unlucky man on the ground, and turned to leave. The woman said again: "There's no need to search here, go back and meet." ”

A group of people quickly left the bamboo forest and soon arrived outside the Valley of the Hundred Beasts. God bless the place where they went into the water, and there was a large group of people sitting or standing around them, and there were as many as 100 people at a glance. There are still a few familiar faces in the team, it is the Dog King, He Boss and Qu Dazhi and others, and a few small gang leaders who are also with them, but their subordinates are gone. They were the only ones in civilian clothes at the scene, and the others were all uniformly dressed in black and covered their faces, and they couldn't see anything except their figures.

Qu Dazhi and the others were forced to ask the Night God Temple to take orders halfway, originally thinking that there should be many people who should not be able to move that little money, and it is not surprising that the Night God Temple does not take orders. This kind of halfway subcontracting situation is obviously an idea, and they can't finish the foreign aid they are looking for, and normally no one will accept it if they don't offer a high price. But...... The reality is a little different from what I imagined.

The Night Temple took the order, and the money was not less, and the price was increased. Qu Dazhi and the others also gritted their teeth and admitted, as long as the task can be completed, at least they will not lose all their money, and it is better to lose a little than vomit blood.

But the Night God Temple is not soft on collecting money, but it is a little surprising to make a move. Originally, in addition to a few people, the Night God Temple would send a team of three or five people at most to help them find their target, and the task would have to be done by themselves. But the people of the Night God Temple didn't know which tendon was wrong, and they actually sent ten teams in one go, and the luxury of the lineup simply blinded the eyes of these people. And strangely, the Night Temple pointed out that they could not follow the gang of miscellaneous fish, lest bad things happen, and finally reluctantly agreed to bring a few of their leaders with them.

Although they couldn't figure it out, these people at least understood that it was a good thing for them, so they were not unhappy, but a little happy. The Night God Temple dispatched so many people in one go, and Ying Ying and his party would not be able to fly even if they had wings this time.

"What's going on?" Seeing the group of people appear, one of the older people in the group of men in black asked, "What about the other two?"

The woman said the situation, "There are traps that at least prove that we are in the right direction." ”

The man in front nodded, turned and waved. "Go into the water, and let's go into the valley. ”

More than 100 people walked into the water without any sound, including the team that had just arrived. All the men in black were extremely quiet, and only the sound of Boss He and their gasps after entering the water was heard. Meltwater from snow-capped mountains is not ordinary ice, and normal people can't stand it if they suddenly come into contact with it. These people have never played winter swimming, and the knowledge of protection can be said to be almost equal to none. But that's not the deadliest of all.

The man in black who had checked the trap that blinded Siqi before didn't know that when he checked the trap on Siqi and the ground, he was already stained with a large amount of powder. This thing is actually not poisonous at all, Siqi's eyes are caused by other things that catapult with the powder. These black powders were not meant to blind a few people, but to kill the group.

There was nothing left after the people went into the water, but as soon as the man got into the water, the powder on his body immediately dissolved in the water and then spread.

The speed at which the smell spreads in the water is actually very fast, and it can swim against the current to a certain extent. Although this group of people didn't know how to swim in winter, they also understood that it was easy to cramp when they suddenly got into cold water, so they didn't swim directly into the valley as Ying Ying and the others hoped, and then drowned a few because of leg cramps. But their wait actually hurt them, because they gave the powder more time to spread.

Counting the time it took to get into the water, when these people began to enter the waterway of the cave one after another, the upstream and downstream areas of the river, several obvious ripples under the water surface were rapidly converging here, and the speed was almost like a motorboat.

"Be careful. In the dark waterway, after the leader gave a reminder, the entire waterway turned upside down, and the fierce sound of water and screams resounded, and the original river channel instantly seemed to be boiling.
