Chapter 319: Falling Trap
(); Lin hadn't thought about going to live in that kind of place. I really know with my ass that the people who live in the sky don't have eyes on the top of their heads, so it's in vain that they live so high. They also unashamedly call themselves 'heavenly people', which shows how much they despise their compatriots crawling on the earth.
From many records about the Floating City, this point is emphasized again and again. Although a lot of flowery words are used to embellish the real situation, the reader mistakenly thinks that the floating city is a paradise on earth, and everything in it is beautiful. In fact, all kinds of discriminatory remarks are laid out in front of everyone's eyes, almost to the extent of brainwashing.
It's no wonder that the Floating City was equally popular with the nobility. There is nothing more satisfying than the vanity of the noble man than to live in heaven and look down on all beings from above.
But it doesn't take into account what the people who live in it, or what other people think. The simple beautiful scenery of the mountains hanging in the air makes someone very interested, and they have always wanted to see it with their own eyes.
It's very rare to travel to another world, and if you don't look at the scenery here that is different from the earth, you just want to transform this place into the earth, isn't it too hard to live.
It should have been such a leisurely afternoon, and two apprentices took the initiative to solve some unpopular traps, but the carriage still came to a slow stop, at an inappropriate time and in an inappropriate position.
"Hmm~, teacher, I might want you to take a look." Kaya sat in the driver's seat, turned her head, and beckoned someone into the car from the front canopy.
Using his hands and feet together, Lin climbed to the front of the carriage, stretched his head out of the open front canopy, and asked, "Why did you stop?" The road is broken? Trees falling? Still is...... There's a stupid trap in the middle of the road. ”
Without waiting for anyone to reply, Lin himself had already seen the reason why the carriage stopped. The road is now far from the forest, and because there is no rain, there is no wasteland as far as the eye can see. There were no tall trees nearby, and no weeds could grow. Occasionally, I see a few dwarf bushes, which are already rare green.
However, it is such a road, and everywhere you can see is yellow earth, but there is a large circular green patch in the middle of the road...... Turf? It was more like a wretched bush, torn apart into branches and laid on the ground, than some kind of turf. Not far away, you can still see a few shrubs with only the main trunk and no green leaves.
"It's a trap, it's definitely a trap!" Someone commented on the obvious.
Kaya, who was in charge of driving, said: "I was just wondering if such an obvious trap could be just a decoy, and the real lethality was on the road we would pass by." ”
Regarding the setting of serial traps, it is actually a series of psychological warfare offense and defense, and the relevant knowledge has long been told to the two girls who were still half the age at that time. Although it is said that it is used to pit the group of uncivilized goblins, it can be very happy. But the most important thing is to teach them how to prevent it, not how to harm others.
And this kind of trap of such a large area occupies almost the entire road, leaving very little space for carriages to pass through. It can be regarded as a roadblock, and it should not be classified as a trap. According to someone's classification, a roadblock is a setting that deliberately directs others in the direction of travel, with the purpose of guiding the target into a trap or a predetermined ambush location. Stopping others from moving forward is the most superficial idea.
So it's no wonder that Kaya worries about whether this obvious trap will hide some unexpected surprises.
Lin didn't talk much nonsense, moved his steps, and came to the front of the carriage. In normal times, this kind of mine-sweeping work is carried out by Halumi, a wild girl who is not afraid of the sky and the earth. And there is no need to deliberately tell her, this wild girl's usual behavior of running around is actually equivalent to minesweeping, or the kind that is completely unconscious. So seeing that she only suffered a small injury is really a great blessing in misfortune.
It was the turn of the teacher to carry out such a task in person, and Lin certainly couldn't use his physical body to sweep mines. He directly cast a tornado spell that swept the audience. Under the strong winds, no traps can be left untouched except those buried in the earth.
When the dust settled, leaving only a mess, all the traps appeared in front of everyone's eyes. There were no unexpected surprises, no traps hidden outside the traps, only a huge hole in the branches and weeds that were hidden at the top of the trees and weeds that had been blown away by the wind.
This kind of simple and crude trap, Lin only has one comment: "It's really not moral!" ”
The crater is more than a person high, and there are many spiky branches stuck at the bottom, and there are poisonous snakes swimming in the gaps. To be sure, even a magician would not be immune to this trap if he did fall into this trap.
But what was the original disguise of this deadly trap? There are people who have heard of unfinished buildings, but they have really never heard of unfinished traps. The most important thing is that such a big pit still occupies the middle of the road, who fills it? It's no wonder that someone saw the true face of the trap and couldn't help but curse.
After looking carefully left and right again, someone was speechless again. Not far away was a small mound that, after a tornado had wreaked a lot of sand. But it's still quite weighty. What I didn't notice was that the mound was clearly made of newly excavated soil, and was not a long-established natural landscape.
In other words, the people who went to great lengths to make this trap did not finish it well at all, so that there were flaws everywhere. Trying to clean up a magician like this, whose IQ are you insulting?
What's even more sad is that you have to help those fools clean up the aftermath! said that before he crossed, he would be issued a good person card by his sister, and it was never because of the reason why he picked up the garbage on the ground and then threw it into the trash can. How did you do day work after crossing over?
In the constant swearing of 'immoral ghosts' and 'cats born of and pigs', Lin Xian beckoned two girls to help, scooped up the poisonous snake in the cave together, and threw it into the wilderness. He wanted to fill in the soil directly, anyway, the most important thing in the maze was these poisonous snakes and beasts. It's a pity that the girl who was about to change jobs to the druid put on a posture of sworn resistance, dispelling someone's original thoughts.
To change my mind and approach, although I would like to keep a few poisonous snakes down, after all, poisonous snakes brewing spirits is a great tonic. And it is expected that the body may be very weak recently, and it really needs to be supplemented. But there is no poisonous snake in the air, and there is no wine, so after all, you can only sigh at it.
Of course, those reptiles without feet are poisonous, and it is impossible to catch them with their bare hands without any protection. But this is a world on the magic side, and it is possible to directly scoop up the group of reptiles with a magic giant palm technique, and put them in the distant wilderness.
What's more troublesome is that the reptiles can't slip their hands. It's not always easy to grasp with bare hands, let alone magic hands that are not very flexible.
After a long toss, the snake was finally emptied, and then the hill-like earth was pushed back into the hole. Even with the use of magic, the huge amount of work still makes the master and apprentice sweat profusely. Harumi escaped this because of a leg injury.
The various Assassins who hid a little farther away, condescendingly watching the magician's group, were equally speechless about what they saw. Everyone looked similar to the magicians who were busy with their work, and they were all just as embarrassed.
Suddenly, a younger Assassin said, "Actually, if you make your target as tired as a dog, we'll be halfway there." ”
A few of the more veteran assassins bowed their heads weakly. I regret how I agreed to help set that trap that was so stupid that I couldn't stand it. This is definitely a black record in his career.
There are those who have a more fiery temper, and they scold directly. "What idiot does the last disguise. To make it like this, I want anyone to see the joke. ”
Some people also scolded: "I said a long time ago, I don't approve of any kind of big trap." When time is urgent, you have to do it hard, and the result is that everyone is tired and half dead, but there is no result. Let that magician sweat a little, and it's half the goal. ”
Of course, those who are alluded to are not the same kind of people who only scold and do not fight back. Not to be outdone, they scolded back: "It's very simple, and you know that there is not enough time. As a result, as soon as they heard that the target was approaching, they ran away one by one, leaving everything to others. Not to mention that this place was not suitable for a falling trap in the first place, and there was simply not a good cover around. ”
"That's right!" A companion next to him, who was also left behind at the last moment, said angrily: "It's not that we didn't do the preliminary work. Everyone is equally tired, why should we be responsible for the final aftermath, and then you complain that it is useless. ”
There are also those who try to play a round and sell their opinions, saying: "If you want me to say, don't play these false things." There is a section of the road in front of you that is canyon terrain, and you can ambush this group directly over there, attack this group, and call it a day, so you don't have to waste any more time on this group of people. ”
"Assault a group of magicians? Are you sure you have nothing wrong with your brain? I think that's a stupider idea than that stupid trap. Have you figured out what that magician is trying to do? Is there a way to break through? There is nothing, and if you want to die, I will not accompany you. ”
"Hmph, a bunch of bastards!"
"If you can do it, you can do it yourself. Don't think that no one knows how many times you have betrayed your companions and left them behind in the most critical moments, just for your own escape. Do you think that as long as your companion dies and only you survive, no one will know about this kind of thing? Tell you, it's still the same group of murderers who will show off and hype these things up. ”
"Who do you say is the betrayer!"
"That is, you are a person of your age, who has lived to live by eating human blood."
In the past few days, a group of people who have been doing useless work have temporarily united for the sake of interests. But the lack of results seems to have exhausted most people's patience. Especially the group of people who already have a grudge against each other.
And Little John, who led the gathering of this group of people, fell behind everyone and watched the group of people biting each other playfully. When these people get together, things are no longer in his hands. So he quietly withdrew from his original position, not letting himself sink too deeply, so that he did not suffer too much loss.
But in fact, from another point of view, his loss is the greatest. Not only does he have the interests of a magic stone vein, but he also has a comrade-in-arms who has made friends with him. Thinking of this, I looked up to the sky and sighed.
I want to chat with more like-minded people about "The Starry Sky of the Magic Tower", pay attention to "excellent reading literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find confidants~
