"This... is this the live-action version of 'Silent Hill'?!" Technical expert Ke couldn't help but curse, his voice trembling. He boasted that he had seen big scenes, but the scene before him was so quiet that it made people feel creepy. It was more exciting than a horror movie!
Lou Defender swallowed his saliva, his palms were full of sweat, he tightly grasped the weapon in his hand, his muscles tensed, like a cheetah ready to attack: "This is too quiet... a bit too quiet! Boss, did we step on a minefield?"
Mou Xuan didn't say anything. His eyes scanned the surroundings like a radar, not missing any details.
He could feel that this seemingly peaceful valley exit was like a huge spider web, and they were the prey who had strayed into it.
"Yaoyao, what do you think?" Mou Xuan suddenly turned around and asked Chen Yao, with a hint of scrutiny in his tone.
Chen Yao took a deep breath and suppressed her inner uneasiness. She pointed to an inconspicuous stone on the ground and said, "Brother Xuan, look at this stone. The color is obviously different from the surrounding ones, and..." She paused and pointed to a tree next to her, "There are slight scratches on the trunk of this tree, as if it was rubbed by something."
Mou Xuan followed Chen Yao's instructions and indeed found a clue.
He smiled slightly and looked at Chen Yao with appreciation: "Not bad, your observation skills are getting stronger and stronger! It seems that this old dog Zhong really spent a lot of money to set up such a 'bewilderment array'!"
He walked to the stone, squatted down and looked at it carefully.
The surface of this stone is smooth, as if it has been carefully polished, and it stands out from the other rough stones.
He stretched out his hand and tapped the stone gently, which made a dull "dong dong" sound. The sound was very dull and did not sound solid.
"There's something fishy going on here!" Mou Xuan's eyes flashed, and he activated his time ability, and everything in front of him seemed to slow down.
He saw a weak energy wave coming from under the stone, spreading along the ground, connecting the surrounding trees and grass to form a complex network.
"Oh my god! Is this... a trap formation?!" Technical master Ke exclaimed. Although he didn't understand formations, he could tell that there was something wrong with the stone.
Mou Xuan nodded, a sneer on his face: "Yes, it's a chain trap. If one of them is triggered, it will trigger a series of explosions. The power... will probably blow us into ashes!"
"Hiss..." Everyone gasped. This old dog Zhong is too cruel!
"Boss, what should we do? We can't force our way in. This trap... is too complicated!" Defender Lou was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. He didn't want to become a "roast meat".
Mou Xuan did not answer directly. He closed his eyes, and the time power ran rapidly in his mind, presenting the structure, trigger mechanism, and cracking method of the entire trap one by one.
A few minutes later, he opened his eyes, his eyes gleaming with confidence: "Don't panic, although this trap is complicated, it is not impenetrable. As long as we find the key points, we can crack them one by one."
He pointed at the stone and said, "This stone is the 'eye' of the whole trap. As long as we 'remove' it, the other traps will become ineffective."
"Tear it down? Boss, are you kidding? This thing looks like it's not a good thing. What if..." Technical expert Ke looked worried.
"Don't worry, I know my limits." Mou Xuan interrupted him, walked to the stone, took a deep breath, and activated his time ability again.
This time, he adjusted the flow of time to the slowest, and he saw that the energy fluctuations inside the stone became clearly visible, like swimming tadpoles.
He stretched out his hand and touched the stone carefully, feeling a cool touch on his fingertips.
He controlled his supernatural powers and penetrated into the stone bit by bit, looking for the pattern of energy flow.
He discovered that although these energy fluctuations were complex, they also had traces to follow, just like a maze. As long as you find the right path, you can get out of the maze.
Time passed minute by minute, and beads of sweat appeared on Mou Xuan's forehead. He was highly concentrated and did not dare to relax at all.
"Boss, come on!" Chen Yao watched nervously from the side.
Suddenly, Mou Xuan's eyes lit up, he found it!
He discovered that inside the stone, there was a tiny energy node, which acted like a "switch" that controlled the operation of the entire trap.
"It's you!" Mou Xuan's mouth curled up slightly. He took a deep breath, concentrated his supernatural power on his fingertips, and stabbed fiercely at the energy node!
"Crack!" There was a slight crisp sound, as if something was broken.
At the same time, the ground at the exit of the entire valley began to shake slightly, and the traps hidden in the dark appeared one by one, making "cracking" sounds, like poisonous snakes with their teeth pulled out, losing their threat.
"It's done!" Mou Xuan let out a long sigh and a relieved smile appeared on his face.
"Boss, you're awesome!" Defender Lou and Technical Expert Ke cheered excitedly. They couldn't believe that such a complicated trap could be cracked so easily by Mou Xuan!
At this moment, a deafening explosion suddenly came from the valley, flames shot up into the sky, and debris flew everywhere.
"Oh no! It's old dog Zhong!" Mou Xuan's face changed. He realized that the leader of the Zhong forces could not wait any longer and launched an attack!
"Transportation expert Feng, you take the supplies and retreat first! Everyone else, follow me!" Mou Xuan yelled and ran deep into the valley.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!" The sound of explosions was getting closer and closer. The leader of the Zhong force rushed over with a group of people.
