Chapter 428 The Gluttonous Male Protagonist 16 On some narrow, only-passage paths, several tripwires, about 20 to 30 centimeters off the ground, were set up using nearly transparent animal sinews to connect simple containers filled with pungent red fruit juice that were suspended above stone pillars.
Once triggered, the juices will spill out, and the rich aroma will spread rapidly.
In several seemingly safe crevices or depressions where one could take a short rest, Zi Xi carefully transplanted a few clusters of those brightly colored paralysis mushrooms.
They blend seamlessly into their surroundings and are extremely difficult to detect.
In the center of a relatively open stone platform, which was intended to be the "main battlefield," Mo Chen deliberately left some blurry footprints and a piece of torn fabric that belonged to the clothes he was wearing to disguise his identity.
Behind several boulders around the stone platform, Zi Xi placed several small jars of opened spatial honey with an extremely overpowering aroma.
Mo Chen used the magnetic environment of the stone forest itself and some discarded metal pieces to set up several simple jamming devices, which could further weaken the locking effect of communication and energy weapons within the range.
Throughout the process, Zi Xi fully utilized her ingenuity and precise use of spatial resources, while Mo Chen transformed them into deadly tactical arrangements.
"You must stay in this space and never come out."
"No matter what happens or you hear outside, don't show yourself. Wait for my signal."
After arranging everything, Mo Chen took a deep breath and solemnly spoke to Zi Xi.
"Okay, be careful."
Zi Xi knew this wasn't the time to be stubborn, so she obediently nodded.
Mo Chen gave her a deep look, then turned and disappeared among the jagged stone pillars.
He began to casually appear on the outskirts of the trap zone, deliberately allowing any potential surveillance to detect his movements.
Zixi then entered the farm space.
She gripped the rake tightly in her hand, ready to rush out if Mo Chen was outmatched.
At least one key element is surprise.
Time passed second by second, and there was complete silence both inside and outside the space, except for the mournful sound of the wind in the stone forest.
About two hours later, Zi Xi, who had been holding her breath, finally saw it through the light screen.
Two figures dressed in optical camouflage uniforms that blended seamlessly with the surrounding environment appeared silently at the edge of the stone forest.
They carried modified Gauss rifles, their movements professional and cautious, their sharp eyes scanning their surroundings.
It's finally here.
Zi Xi's heart was in her throat.
The two assassins were clearly experienced; they noticed the traces Mo Chen had deliberately left behind and exchanged a hand signal.
One after the other, they carefully followed the path set out by Mo Chen and made their way towards the center of the stone platform.
Suddenly, a slight cracking sound was heard.
The assassin walking in front tripped and triggered the first beast tendon tripwire.
The berry container hanging above burst open, and thick, scarlet juice splattered all over him.
That indescribable, rich aroma, a mixture of fruit acid and some kind of pungent fermented smell, exploded out instantly.
"Damn it! What the hell is that?!"
The assassin cursed under his breath and instinctively reached out to wipe it.
Almost simultaneously, several restless growls echoed from the depths of the stone forest.
Several cheetah-like but more ferocious star beasts, drawn by the scent of red berries, stared intently at the person exuding a delicious aroma.
"Oh no, it's a Shadowclaw Beast! We've been tricked!"
Another assassin exclaimed.
The scene instantly descended into chaos.
The Shadowclaw Beast was extremely fast and pounced directly on the first assassin.
