Chapter 347: Like Cutting Vegetables
Half an hour later, Su Wu started cursing.
"What Ziwu Road? What a waste of the word 'road'! There is no road at all. The only road is the one I just stepped on! No one usually comes to this broken place!"
After turning into Ziwu Road, the scene inside changed.
The further you go in, the thicker the fog becomes. You can't even see your fingers when you stretch out your hand.
With the overlapping shadows of the mountains and forests, although it was broad daylight, the light inside was as dim as in the late afternoon after sunset.
The places that could barely be called roads were all covered with thorny bushes, all of which had hooks on them!
Bai Yu praised him as the fifth best in the world, and he happily patted his chest and took the lead. After walking for half an hour, his clothes had been peed with more than a dozen holes.
Xiao Maisui and Bing'er were also panting and sweating. "Nine Kingdoms are such bastards! They set a trap for us but didn't even clear the way for us! Aren't they afraid that we'll turn around because the road is difficult, making their efforts in vain? Which stupid country sent someone like this? To be so clueless and still be given such an important position? Their ancestors must have been very lucky in their past lives!"
Su Wen and Su An supported each other, each with a look of despair on their faces. "This is just the appetizer, the main course is yet to come. The Shu Road is famous for its plank roads and ladders to heaven. If we don't see these two things, it means we haven't found the way up the mountain yet. Let's climb slowly. Alas, this place is a hundred times more difficult to walk than Youshan Mountain."
The old man was the only one who grew increasingly excited as he walked, rubbing his hands together as he spun excitedly in the mist. "No one has been here before, that's great! No one has come here, which means the good things here haven't been discovered yet! If we find some rare treasures... hehehehe! Mine! All mine!"
Tianbao is still the last one to leave.
The further we went in, the thicker and higher the fog became, almost drowning us.
This environment is perfect for setting traps.
When everyone's heads were covered by fog, Bai Yu's warning "Be careful" was heard from the fog.
The crowd was still laughing and talking nonsense, but their eyes hidden in the mist became serious and they were on guard.
People were hidden in the fog, their vision was blocked by the thick fog, they could not see the surrounding situation clearly, let alone where they were.
As I was concentrating, I suddenly heard flapping sounds from all directions, which were the sounds of birds flapping their wings.
I don't know who shouted loudly, but then there was chaos.
It was all panic and screaming.
Even the usually calm Tianbao's voice changed its tone, "Stay where you are, I'll go find you!"
"You can't move, Tianbao! I don't know what the hell is biting me!"
"Green-headed bat! The old man saw it! Don't kill it, don't kill it, leave it for me! Good stuff, this is really good stuff!!"
"Ahhh, poisonous old man, help! It's, it's poisonous!"
"Nonsense, why would I come here if there's no poison! Ouch! It hurts!"
At the edge of the fog, a group of men in black, wearing strange eye masks and wrapped tightly around their bodies, quietly sneaked in. When the sounds of ghostly howling and screaming gradually weakened, a whistle was used as a signal, and the men in black drew their swords and charged into the depths of the fog.
But after breaking in, within the six-foot range visible through the goggles, they suddenly saw several people who should have been in a state of panic gathered together, unharmed, just waiting for them to come in.
Their secret weapon, the green-headed bat, circled around them but never dared to move forward, as if it was afraid of something.
They were deceived.
"Hmph, you're here as expected. This time I'll let you see how powerful I am!" Xiao Mai Sui pulled out the small leather whip hanging at her waist and swung it in the air, making a crackling sound.
Du Buqin was no less powerful, shaking the open medicine bottle in his hand in a frivolous manner, "Do you think your grandfather is a sick cat if he doesn't show his power? Didn't your master tell you not to play with poison in front of him? It's like playing with a fruit knife in front of Guan Gong!"
The natural enemy of the green-headed bat is the pit viper. It just so happens that Grandpa Du loves to collect all kinds of rare things, and he has saved several bottles of pit viper saliva.
Among the snakes that Tianbao had thrown out for him to play with before, there were dozens of vipers.
A bunch of trash.
What a shameful trap!
"Retreat!" The leader of the men in black sensed something was wrong and immediately ordered a retreat.
Bai Yu, Su An, Su Wen, and Su Wu had already blocked the four directions and laughed, "Why retreat? Since we're here, it would be rude not to leave our lives behind."
Tianbao said nothing and cast his fishing net.
It was given by the bearded uncle and cannot be cut by a knife.
The fight in the deep fog lasted only a moment, and the men in black were all caught in one fell swoop.
As we continued walking inside, Wheat Ear was still not satisfied and had not had enough fun.
But this time it was much easier to get in than before.
They took off the blindfold of the man in black.
"What is this thing made of? Once I put it on my eyes, I can see so far in the fog!" Su Wu couldn't put it down.
Although only a few feet can be seen, it is still a truly amazing sight compared to the pitch darkness before.
Du Bujin put his hands behind his back, a look of satisfaction on his face. "No matter what it's made of, it's already ours. The green-headed bat is ours too!"
Taking advantage of everyone's happiness and defenselessness, Bai Yu quietly leaned to Tianbao's side, not daring to speak, and poked his finger.
"The fog here is too thick and it's hard to see. It's not a good place to put bait," he said.
Tianbao pondered: Let’s survey the entire terrain before making a decision.
The reason why the group decided to walk through all the dangerous roads was to find a suitable place to place bait.
By the way, throw a smokescreen for those who are watching in the dark to blur their real purpose of coming here.
Bai Yu: Judging from the ambush we encountered just now, although the nine nations came here together, they are still acting independently and have not truly joined forces to deal with us. We must find a way to gather them together.
Tianbao: Yeah.
A moment after the few people left the fighting scene, several more waves of people appeared at the edge of the fog and moved in cautiously.
After watching the fight scene, he retreated quickly.
In Micang Road, which is the closest to Ziwu Road, the leader of this operation in Longyuan Kingdom was the first to receive the news reported by his own spies.
The traps in Micang Road had been set up long ago, waiting for Su Jiuni and his group to arrive and start a massacre.
The leader looked back at the trap, his eyes flickering.
The men accompanying him looked towards Ziwu Road, their hearts sinking. "Commander, if Su Jiuni and the others come along this road, they'll have to enter Micang Road next time. Do we really have to do it ourselves?"
"If you don't take action, do you want to disobey the order?" the commander said coldly.
"Back then, even a hundred experts couldn't capture them. The tragic situation at Ziwu Road... With just the rest of us, we're no match for them. We'll just die in vain, Commander!"
"If we retreat, not only will we be unable to explain ourselves to the Emperor, but the entire Dragon Yuan will also be attacked by other nations. How can we retreat? Don't say such words again!"
"……yes."
The Longyuan Kingdom sent fifty people to fight on this mission.
Everyone was waiting at Micang Road.
But no one is in a good mood at this moment.
Su Jiuni killed people in Ziwu Road as easily as cutting vegetables, and the traps set by Fenglan Kingdom there did not work at all.
And they will soon follow in Feng Lan's footsteps.
