When he left the city, he saw Bai Changgeng's status in Drifting Snow City. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 As an ancestor-level figure of the largest family in the city lord's lineage, those guards on the side of the city gate naturally did not dare to snub him. There are no cumbersome steps that need to be registered when going out of the city gate on weekdays, and they just put on a respectful posture on the side but dare not come forward to disturb.

Old Man Bai goes out of the city much more often on weekdays than those in the prime of life who need to go out to search for blood jade to support their families, so there is no tension. While the man who was about to leave the city gate was still praying earnestly to the true God for protection, he had already stepped out without a change in his countenance.

Out of the city, Old Man Bai did not take the road that ordinary jade pickers often walked. Ordinary jade pickers will leave the city and set off towards the Wailing Bone Sea in the west or the Thirsty Blood Mountains in the south, there are many fierce beasts in these two directions, but because of this, the earliest jade pickers (that is, the time period from the bloody rain disaster six hundred years ago to three hundred years ago) have not developed much in these two directions, and there are more blood jade that can be picked up.

The east side of Drifting Snow City is not a common choice, because there are too many fierce beasts in the forest to the east and they are too fierce, and it is worth the loss to explore the east side. And the road that Old Man Bai is taking Xue An to the north of Drifting Snow City now has the fewest fierce beasts.

That is why, after searching this northern road countless times over the past few hundred years, it is now difficult to find blood jade. Heading north out of Drifting Snow City, you can reach the Despair Mountains in less than two days' footsteps. The Despair Mountains are steep and towering, reaching into the sky, and are almost impossible to climb by human beings, hence the name Despair.

Contemporary jade pickers have abandoned this small piece of land to the north, because they may not be lucky enough to find a blood jade after a week of searching along the way. Therefore, Bai Changgeng and Xue An walked out of Drifting Snow City for three hours, but they didn't even see a single jade picker. In the same way, perhaps the two of them were lucky, and they only encountered a few small fierce beasts that were not sensitive, and they were carefully dodged by the two.

In an inconspicuous grove, Old Man Bai finally stopped. He brushed aside the dense pine needles of the pine tree, and found on the trunk the mark he had made the last time he came:

"Right here! Follow me closely, don't wander around, I've laid a lot of traps here. ”

Xue An sounded a little strange: "You laid the trap yourself, don't you remember?"

A master of traps, even if he lays a trap in a hurry, he should clearly remember where he laid what kind of trap he laid, in case he was caught in the oolong. Although Old Man Bai is old, this kind of low-level mistake should not happen to him.

"It's not that you can't remember, but you can't remember, and you can't remember. ”

As he spoke, Old Man Bai took Xue An around and took him away, and what he saw the most was all kinds of traps that had been destroyed. Judging from the wreckage left behind after the traps were destroyed, these traps were extremely destructive and lethal traps, but these were obviously inspired to be around the traps, but not a drop of blood from the beast was seen.

There was only one trap, and under the palm-long steel nail was a giant rat the size of a domestic dog, and its red eyes had been staring at Xue An and the others since they were approaching, frantically struggling to get out. The position of the steel nail nailing the giant rat was a little off, and there was no concentration on the vital point, and it looked like it was about to be broken free by the giant rat.

Old Man Bai saw this, where did he dare to let it get out, and hurriedly set up traps around it. Xue An noticed that Old Man Bai had made a dead move, and took out two black lacquer needles from the back basket and put them into the trap.

This black lacquer needle is one of the most famous treasures of the Bai family, and has been used as assassination many times. This needle was polished by skilled craftsmen from black lacquered stone before the disaster of blood and rain, and both the workmanship and material are far beyond the current era of scarcity of materials and the loss of secretaries. There was once a child of the Bai family who used this black lacquer needle to pierce people's hearts easily through the brick wall, and it hardly needed much strength.

Old Man Bai's mechanism has reached the point where it is easy to come by, and the mechanism will be set up in a few breaths. Although the giant rat didn't know what the old man Bai was doing, the beast's instinct also made it feel the aura of danger, and it struggled even more frantically, leaving a piece of minced meat on the ground and barely breaking free from the shackles of the steel nails.

In a flash of light, the giant rat pounced towards Xue An and the others, and Old Man Bai's mechanism was also activated at this moment. Two black lacquer needles whistled and shot the two eyes of the giant rat, but they did not deviate in the slightest.

But after two crisp loud noises, the giant rat was only knocked out from a distance, and did not see the scene of flesh and blood splashing that Xue An expected. There were two black lacquer needles left on the ground, both of which were a little bent under the great force.

The giant rat was also frightened, and did not attack the two men again, but turned and fled. Xue An didn't expect that Old Man Bai's well-prepared trap would not succeed, which was a bit surprising.

Not only Xue An, but the old man Bai Changgeng looked at it with a dark face. These traps didn't work as well as they should, and he thought his attempt had failed again. His method of killing the beast only succeeded by chance, and now it seems that his luck this time is not good.

Continue on, until you reach the very end of the grove, you find traces of the beast. It is a small snake with a bright golden color on its body, and it is very beautiful at first glance.

But Xue An has seen this kind of snake from the Xue family's fierce beast atlas these days, and knows that its speed is extremely fast, and its poison is violent, which is more deadly than ordinary large animals.

"It's okay, it won't move. "Old Man Bai is very confident in his traps. Most of the traps he had left behind the last time he was here were directly lethal, and only a few were experimental traps for imprisoning the beasts, and this little snake was one of them.

Xue An walked in and took a look, and sure enough, although it was inconspicuous, the four transparent silk threads could imprison the little snake in place. No matter how much he twisted his smooth body, he couldn't get out of trouble.

After carefully checking the surrounding traps that were also aimed at imprisoning the beast, the old man shook his head and sighed, sure enough, they were all triggered, but he didn't see the shadow of the beast:

"The curse of the evil god on the beast is too domineering, and the trap of direct killing has no effect, and it is not even possible to imprison the beast and starve to death in place. It's not me boasting, these beasts will never escape my trap, but they will forcibly escape after being restrained for a certain amount of time.

I once trapped a few green-skinned wolves in a very deep pit, and they couldn't jump out on their own, but a day or two later, the evil god power on their bodies was activated, and they flew out of that pit directly under my nose!

This yellow-ridged snake should have just fallen into the trap, so it is still trapped here. ”

The indescribable helplessness in Old Man Bai's tone, it was clear that he had drilled traps all his life and honed his skills to perfection, but he was always helpless against these fierce beasts.

The first impression left by Old Man Bai Changgeng was his full vitality that did not match his age, but at this time, Old Man Bai squatted in front of his destroyed trap, looking extremely old, and said a little numbly:

"Boy, your time has come, didn't you say you could smash the lynx's head with your fists alone. Now this little snake is in front of you, it can't move, it's at your mercy. ”

A sharp dagger was stuck in front of Xue An, one of the few tools that Old Man Bai used to make traps.

Chop!

Xue An was a little rusty to stimulate his natural soul and root bones, and under the contrast of the two, Xue An's whole person's momentum changed. There is the vigor of the bear and the tiger, and the nobility and mystery of the dragon and phoenix.

The blade was windy, and with a wave of his hand, he saw blood splattering, staining Xue An's clothes red.

The head of the snake fell to the ground and died neatly.
