"Click,"

A branch that was stuck in front of the road was broken by Ping An's wave, and the dirt it brought up was swept away, leaving a trace of violent destruction.

At this time, Ping An didn't seem to be worried at all about being discovered by the Great Qin Armor behind him, and even felt a little deliberate.

With such no scruples, the speed was naturally a little faster, but the Great Qin Armor did not have a tendency to be pulled away, but chased closer and closer.

It would be false to say that he was not in a hurry, and Ping An could only endure his temperament, and his eyes swept the surrounding environment more carefully.

Suddenly, a small dark forest appeared in front of him, which contrasted sharply with the surrounding trees, a forest within a forest.

Ping An pondered for a moment, then changed direction and hurried there.

From a distance, it was a thorny bush that had not yet been reborn, and it looked quite dense, but it faintly revealed a dead silence.

Kakugi?

Ping An guessed at a glance that hornwood is a very special kind of tree, not much different from ordinary shrubs, they are not tall, they grow together, and they like to grow together, but there is an extremely obvious feature,

That is, their branches are covered with dense thorns, wrapped together in clumps, the large ones are the size of human faces, and the small ones are the size of the palms of the hand.

From a distance, it looks like the fruit of a horn tree will also ripen and land.

However, these thorns are highly poisonous, and they are not much better than the mountain winds, so some people have given them a nice name, the poison-haired black halberd.

It's such a terrible hornwood forest, the depth doesn't know how far it is, Ping An didn't dare to enter it rashly, and only looked at the periphery,

Looking at the place where there was not even a weed under his feet, the thorns were lying on the ground alone, and he tore off a shirt safely, and replaced it for several layers in his hand in a row before he dared to pick it up carefully.

The thorns are extremely heavy in the hand, with a metal-like texture, extremely strong, for this, Ping An is extremely satisfied, and collected a few again, Ping An didn't even look at the corner wood, his body moved, and quickly ran back to the original route.

During the whole process, Ping An only delayed for a moment, but in this short time, the Great Qin Jiashi behind him took the opportunity to get closer a lot.

provoked Ping'an cursed in a low voice again, but then, the expression on his face was instantly replaced by a touch of surprise,

Hehe, here comes the big gift for you!

The long stick in his hand suddenly lifted upward, and a simple trap was exposed.

didn't waste too much time, Ping An quickly squatted in place for a while, and then cleaned up carefully before getting up and leaving.

In this way, back and forth, there were as many as four or five places to stop safely, and naturally, the Great Qin Armor behind him was already close at hand, and it was only a matter of time before he was caught up......

"Master Shi, this kid looks sick, I didn't expect it to be so difficult, it's a bit more than worth the loss if it goes on like this, should we...?"

Ping An is sad here, and the pursuing Great Qin Armor is also uncomfortable, they are not tired and panting.

Dense forests, strange rocks, ravines and ravines, they almost lost each other several times.

If it weren't for Lu Zhenren taking out a thing, being able to accurately grasp the opponent's position, and vowing to win the opponent's momentum, they would have given up long ago.

Listening to what Lu Zhenren said, this is a real treasure, octagonal shape, each pointing to eight directions, and in the center is a movable copper needle.

What's even more mysterious is that its whole body is engraved with strange charms, and from time to time it flickers, and the tip of the needle points to the direction of safe escape.

Lu Zhenren called it the gossip compass.

Gossip is not gossip, they don't understand, real treasure or something, it is even more amazing, from the initial envy, but now the bitterness is unspeakable, holding back, in the end, some people can't help but ask for help from their own chief.

But before the armorer could finish speaking, Peng Shichang shot a cold look and knocked his next words back into his stomach.

The other Great Qin armor soldiers who wanted to echo it, seeing this situation, could only look at each other and smile bitterly, and started a round of smuggling, one by one, and almost didn't greet all the eighteen generations of the Peaceful Ancestor in their hearts.

During the whole process, Lu Zhenren didn't say a word with a calm face, just carefully fiddling with the gossip compass in his hand.

Maybe God can't stand it anymore, and the opportunity for them to see hope has finally appeared.

First of all, the traces of the young man's escape in front of him have obviously increased a lot, so that they don't need to gossip and needles, and they don't need to deliberately look for them, or even chase forward with their eyes closed.

The second good news came soon, Lu Zhenren, who was at the forefront, found traces of the other party's stop next to a big tree, among which there was a pool of blood that had not dried up and a bloody wooden thorn.

Injured?

Haha, I see, this discovery suddenly made the confidence of the Great Qin Armor Warriors double, and the disappeared qi seemed to return to the body.

Lu Zhenren also unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, along the way, he even doubted his judgment for a while, this kid really didn't even reach the realm of martial arts?

Hmph, now it's okay, injured body, see how long you can hold on!

"Boy, you can't escape!"

"Boy, hurry up and get caught..."

Several Great Qin Armor soldiers shouted excitedly, and the echo reverberated and spread far away, startling bursts of birds and beasts, and "fluttering" and fled.

Lu Zhenren didn't sweep away the boredom in his heart, but because of his identity, he couldn't yell like everyone else.

No matter what real treasure magic weapon that kid has, it will be in his bag!

Thinking of this, his face returned to the calm it had before.

"Chase, keep chasing."

In fact, there was no need to give any more orders, they could already see that at the end of the line of sight ahead, the branches of the trees shook violently, and a figure flashed away from them.

"Lu Zhenren, be careful, there is a problem ahead!"

Just as Lu Zhenren was giving the order, a sharp-eyed subordinate noticed the abnormality in front of him and hurriedly reached out and pulled him.

Lu Zhenren's feet stopped, looked around, and as far as his eyes went, one step away was a trap disguised by dense thorns, if one didn't pay attention, one foot in, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Hey, this is trying to make a few of yourself lame!

He glanced at Peng Shichang, and he no longer dared to have the slightest contempt in his heart.

A cold snort came out, Lu Zhenren's vicious gaze flashed away, raised his foot to sweep away the thorns in front of him, and ran forward again.

At this moment, Peng Shichang, who was also just starting, trembled in his heart, and felt an exclamation from his ears, followed by a "poof", a loud noise came, and he had to stop again and look back.

Geng Wang?

It was the subordinate who pulled himself at a critical moment just now.

At this time, this sturdy Great Qin Armor Warrior, somehow, fell heavily to the ground, the whole person arched half of his body, covered his ankles, and twisted his face and wailed miserably.

"What's going on?"

Lu Zhenren, who turned around when he heard the voice, asked Peng Shichang, who had already squatted down, suspiciously.

Peng Shi said in a deep voice without looking back,

"Caught in the trap!"

Geng Wang, who was rolling on the ground with the others, lifted his trouser leg with his palm and touched his ankle.

There was a finger-thick hemp rope tightly wrapped, and the other end was pinned somewhere, and the hemp rope was stretched straight.

Hemp rope sleeve?

Lu Zhenren secretly took a breath of cool air.

Is it a coincidence?

After all, such traps are not uncommon in the mountains and forests, and they are aimed at small and medium-sized prey, and the lethality does not need to be too large, just conceal.

No, with the help of several companions beside him, the unlucky Geng Wang was quickly helped up and stopped screaming.

Removing the rope and taking off the leather boots, except for some strangulation marks and redness on his ankles, there were no serious injuries in other places, and the terrible howl was only caused by him falling to the ground.

No, Lu Zhenren suddenly thought of the thorns before, and suddenly had a bold guess in his heart.

If all this is not a coincidence, then there can only be one result, deliberately designed by the previous kid.

Broken!

Peng Shichang thought of this answer at the same time, and at the same time, he thought about the consequences one step further, and threw a rat bogey.

Will that be the case?

Half of his heart was uncertain, half was unwilling, and under the incomprehensible gaze of his subordinates, Peng Shi was ruthless, picked up the rope that was thrown aside, and pulled out the place where it was tied to the other end.

There was a low wooden stake, thick at the top and thin at the bottom, not far away, very well buried, and the exposed part was well shaded by weeds, and some fresh strangulation marks could be seen on it.

And sure enough, it was!

After only one glance, Peng Shichang looked away, and after thinking about it, he still stood up, hooked a thorn that had been kicked away with one foot, and stepped heavily on it with his right foot.

"Click!"

As Peng Shichang gently moved the soles of his feet, everyone understood what his random movements meant.

I saw that those sturdy-looking spines had not penetrated the soles of the shoes at all, and even only punctured a little of the skin of the soles, and then the roots were broken, and there were traces of black and smelly substances that emitted an unpleasant smell from them.

This is... Poison-haired black halberd?

Alas, Peng Shi let out a long sigh, looked at Lu Zhenren who narrowed his eyes slightly, and shook his head gently, what he was most worried about had happened.

It's a good calculation of one ring after another, it's not terrible to be injured, and it's not terrible to fall into a trap.

The scary thing is, who knows if what awaits us will be a new trap or a new way?

Dare to ignore it?

It can't be done, and it can't be done.

Not only him, but everyone had an unprecedented sense of frustration in their hearts, you know, they were all swept through the Eight Desolations, occupied a large number of people, and were well-equipped.

The form took a sharp turn, and looking at the group of subordinates whose morale gradually sank to the bottom, Peng Shichang knew that at this time, when it was time for the final decision, he would either give up and go home, or continue to pursue, one of the two.

For a while, he hesitated, pondered for a long time, and finally could only use his eyes to signal Lu Zhenren to make a decision.

Lu Zhenren didn't have such worries as him, and people went from watching the treasures in Ping'an's hands to gradually calming down, and then, a wave of disdain rose in his heart.

Hmph, the dignified Qin Jiashi was scared of such a small means!

With a slight contempt, the cold gaze slapped on the face of each Great Qin Armor Soldier one by one, and then turned around without hesitation and continued to chase forward.

"Chase, keep going!"

Gritting his teeth, Peng Shichang finally conveyed the order, although he had a faint feeling in his heart that it must be wrong to continue, but he could only hold on.

"Order!"

The military discipline of the armor soldier is absolutely obedient to the orders of the superiors, even if the four Great Qin soldiers are extremely reluctant, none of them refute it, and they clench their fists to receive the order, and their faces are much more cautious at the same time.

Even the injured Geng Wang straightened up, the long knife in his hand propped up his lame leg and chased forward.

However, in the end, they still heard Peng Shichang in front of them say softly:

"Be careful!"
