It soon became apparent that all of his ideas of getting out of the trap could not be put into action, that the line was too thin to climb the tree, and that it was obvious that the number of traps in the trees was probably more impressive, after all, a leafy tree was better suited to trapping.
After finding that he couldn't get out of the trap, Tony stopped struggling and hung quietly in the air, stretching his limbs as much as possible to make his body comfortable, but the more the thin line worked, the more it squeezed into the flesh.
Tony didn't shout either, he knew that soon, his help would come, and yelling would only undo his hard-earned authority and dignity......
……
"Liu Fei, there seems to be someone over there." Li Wenyan, who was staring at the barbecue and swallowing saliva, suddenly became nervous, because she heard the sound of struggle behind the tree.
"Eat."
Liu Fei looked calm, handed the grilled mutton skewers in his hand to Li Wenyan, this time, the number of mutton skewers was more than double that of the last time, Li Wenyan's mind was immediately attracted by the fragrant mutton skewers, after taking it, carefully tasted it, this mutton skewers are not easy to come by, I waited for fifteen minutes, not a second.
This barbecue lasted more than two hours, and Li Wenyan actually didn't eat much, but she was already satisfied, at least, she was full, this was the fullest meal in the past month, of course, Li Wenyan looked forward to eating tomorrow.
During these three hours, Li Wenyan kept hearing some panicked screams and struggles from behind the trees, and the frequency became more and more dense, but seeing Liu Fei's calm appearance from beginning to end, Li Wenyan got used to it.
When it was time to go to bed, Li Wenyan was very moved, Liu Fei actually compiled a soft bed hanging in the air for her at a dazzling speed, spread the futon taken out of the space button, and the soft bed immediately became extremely comfortable.
This was also Li Wenyan's best night's sleep recently, and she even turned a deaf ear to the hysterical shouting under the tree.
When he was about to sleep, Li Wenyan said "thank you" to Liu Fei, Liu Fei was still blank, and Li Wenyan added: "If I recover tomorrow, I will dance to show you." Then, Li Wenyan, who looked shy, got into the warm futon......
Compared with Li Wenyan's happiness, this night was simply a nightmare for Prince Morton and Tony.
When Captain Tony was silent, Prince Morton sent two more guards to take a look, but the two guards did not return, and two more were sent, but the two still did not return.
When one guard after another disappeared, Prince Morton became nervous, and the whole camp was filled with an oppressive atmosphere.
This went on for a long time, and Prince Morton had already lost nine men, including Tony, and when the last man returned, he brought Tony's message.
"Wait until dawn."
In addition to the message, Prince Morton also knew that the nine men were not dead, but all of them were hung upside down to the tree, and no one could get close to them, as long as they got close, no matter how careful they were, they would be hung up the tree, and all those who did not believe in it had already been hung from the tree.
Prince Morton sent a few more people to observe, and ordered that the rescue was strictly forbidden, and after that, the information obtained was roughly the same as that of the guards who returned to report the news, and they also talked to Captain Tony, but this time the observation still lost a guard who acted without following orders, of course, Prince Morton was too lazy to pursue it, because the disobedient man was hanging from the tree like a bat......
Knowing the lessons of his past, Prince Morton did not let people risk rescuing the ten guards who were hanging from the trees, he could only watch the warm light of the fire in the distance, and endure the enticing smell of roasted meat in the air.
……
The most painful thing is Tony, watching his subordinates fall into one trap after another and be hung on a tree.
When he got to the back, Tony couldn't help but scold him as soon as he heard someone approaching, but the tragedy still kept repeating itself, and when he got to the back, Tony, who was shouting in his throat, didn't bother to warn those unbelieving subordinates, just watched one by one his subordinates fall into those ingenious traps.
At this time, Tony was already convinced of the person who arranged the trap, and it was no longer enough to describe the person who arranged the trap as a "master", and those seemingly simple traps were almost killing step by step, as long as they entered the range of the big tree, it was equivalent to entering a net of heaven and earth.
The intricate arrangement of these traps is breathtaking, watching one subordinate after another being hung from a tree, Tony racked his brains and couldn't believe that a person's brain could be so meticulous, and that he could arrange the dense traps so intricately and delicately without interfering with each other.
One of the traps was most ingeniously designed to impress Tony, after a guard cautiously approached him, he was suddenly inexplicably pulled up and hoisted to a place not far under a tree tens of meters away, this long-distance trigger mechanism made Tony's heart full of emotion, and a trace of coolness on his back.
As Tony guessed, the traps in the trees were even more dense, and at least half of the guards tried to carry out rescue work from the trees and fell into the traps, and on top of the leafy trees, let alone rescue, basically no one could go ten meters deep.
Many traps are passive, not active, that is, the vast majority of traps do not actively hurt people, but the prey itself is sent to the door to forcibly touch the mechanism......
The tragedy lasted until the tenth man, when the inquirementers stopped their senseless adventures and waited for dawn, when in fact the guards protecting Prince Morton were outnumbered, and there were no more people to rescue him without complete certainty.
To Tony's relief, the trap-setters seem to be more inclined to catch their prey alive rather than hunt them directly, thinking of this, Tony's back chills, if the trap-setters set up a large number of active killing traps, they will not just hang on the trees now, but become cold corpses......
Tony naturally didn't know that Liu Fei was not a bodhisattva, he just implemented the concept of killing prey with a soldering iron, and never killed prey easily, if he only ate one book at a meal. o Chickens and killing ten chickens is a tyrannical thing for Liu Fei.
In Liu Fei's eyes, Tony is the prey, not the enemy, and the prey and the enemy are essentially different!
The days of hanging from the tree are not easy, they are simply like years.
The two guards left behind were waiting beside them, and a group of guards hanging upside down on the trees stared at each other, looking particularly strange.
The night of the grassland is very cool, some of the guards are thinly dressed, at this time, they just want the person who arranged the trap to appear quickly, in fact, they are also very curious, want to see the trap master lurking in the shadows, each of them feels that there is a pair of eyes peeping in the dark, but unfortunately, from beginning to end, the person lurking in the darkness did not appear.
Slowly, slowly, the bonfire behind the big tree went out, and the guards, who had been tossed for half a night, also fell into a groggy sleep, of course, they naturally did not have sweet dreams, but nightmares.
……
Li Wenyan has always had the habit of getting up early, Li Wenyan, who had woken up, lazily hugged the soft futon, in a daze and didn't want to open her eyes, she felt as if she had returned to her warm bedroom, when a few crisp and pleasant birdsong sounded, Li Wenyan suddenly opened her eyes and looked at the lush leaves around her, she realized that she was sleeping on a tree.
What about Liu Fei?
The beautiful eyes wandered, and there was no trace of Liu Fei, looking at some thin lines densely intertwined around, Li Wenyan didn't dare to move, in fact, she had nowhere to go, this soft bed was wide enough, and it was much more comfortable to sit on it.
In the hazy starlight, Li Wenyan could see the undulating horizon in the distance, and she found that she was actually at the top of the tree, overhead, with only a lush branch and leaf blocking the dew, and her vision was excellent.
Looking at the slightly twisted branches and leaves above her head, Li Wenyan felt an inexplicable warmth in her heart, and it was obvious from the twisted branches that Liu Fei used the power of the rope to forcibly pull the branches to the top of the soft bed to block the dewdrops......
"You're not sleeping?"
"Ah......" Li Wenyan was startled, Liu Fei actually stood silently on a tree branch next to him.
"I don't sleep."
"Well, I need to rest for a while." Liu Fei moved his body and sat on the soft bed.
"I'll lie down, I can sit on the branches, I'm cured." Looking at the tired look on Liu Fei's well-defined face, Li Wenyan immediately realized that Liu Fei hadn't slept all night.
"No, you don't." Liu Fei slowly closed his eyes.
"That'...... I'll give you a massage. "Li Wenyan is trying to prove that she is not a waste.
"No, you don't."
Liu Fei shook his head and refused, and began to enter the ethereal method of breathing, at the same time, Liu Fei felt a pair of soft wattles on his shoulders, kneading gently, the fingertips through the thin shirt conveyed the pleasure brought by the opposite sex to the skin, he could feel the heat of Li Wenyan's body and snort, and a comfortable feeling flowed in his limbs......
Li Wenyan couldn't find any other way to repay Liu Fei, and massage, this is the only way at present, her hands were kneading on Liu Fei's broad shoulders, she couldn't help but think of her father, when she was a child, her father liked her to massage him the most, every time she massaged her father, her father would close his eyes and enjoy it, but unfortunately, she had never massaged her father properly, and now, she was massaging a strange man.
Unfamiliar?
Li Wenyan's heart jumped suddenly, she and Liu Fei were born and died, are they still strangers?
Yes, strange!
She only knew Liu Fei's name, and Liu Fei only knew her name, perhaps, he didn't remember that she once introduced herself as Li Wenyan.
Inexplicably, Li Wenyan felt sad for a while, kneading lightly in her hands, looking at the distant sky, where the grass and the sky were connected, an iron-blue cloud curtain was still full of stars, and suddenly, a faint morning light opened the iron-blue cloud curtain......
It's going to sunrise!
Li Wenyan's spirits were lifted, and her eyes were firmly fixed on the sky.
Gradually, the clouds connecting the edge of the grassland became mottled from iron blue, and a faint lead color appeared under the canopy, and from thick to thin, from thick to light, from round to long, ethereal, and free.
Unconsciously, the cloud curtain opened, the lead-colored sky, instantly dyed with an orange color, the color then turned light red, then turned pink, then turned orange, first like a shy girl, and then seemed to float up a wide tent of colorful silk, from east to south, from east to west, from east to north, from bottom to top, from far to near, gradually burned, and the sky of the whole grassland also burned quickly, it can be guessed that a round of red sun is about to rise from the east......
