Li Xingchen's steps slowed down involuntarily. Although he was not sure why, the surrounding area always gave him a strong sense of crisis. He didn't know whether it was because of the inherent gloominess of the deep mountains and old forests, or because the enemy was nearby.
Just when Li Xingchen wanted to take a step forward, Song Fei behind him grabbed him. The guy's face was pale and he pointed at the ground in front of Li Xingchen. Li Xingchen was startled for a moment, then understood, and squatted down carefully to look at it carefully. He couldn't help but wonder.
He took a breath of cold air. Just now, his attention was on the surrounding bamboo forest, and he didn't deliberately pay attention to his steps. After all, he didn't encounter any traps along the way, but who would have thought that this trap would suddenly appear here.
In fact, this trap is not very concealed. It is just covered with some dead branches and leaves, and its outline can even be vaguely seen. Not to mention those who have been in the mountains and forests for a long time and have learned to lay traps since childhood.
At this point, if you look closely, you will find clues.
It's just that Li Xingchen didn't look at his feet just now, so he didn't notice this sudden trap at all. Fortunately, Song Fei behind him kept watching, and his quick eyesight and hands quickly caught him, otherwise Li Xingchen would have suffered a lot.
"This skill is really good." Li Xingchen carefully removed the cover on the trap. Below was a pit that was not very deep. At the bottom of the pit, the sharpened bamboo was facing upward. Although the pit was not deep, it was
Anyone who falls down will inevitably have seven or eight holes poked out by the bamboo.
What really impressed Li Xinchen was the location of the trap. This mountain road was obviously forcibly opened by man. Naturally, it would easily make other people walking along this mountain road suspicious, even hunters like Song Fei who had been waiting in the mountains for a long time.
, will also consider whether there are traps or other dangers, and Li Xingchen did test it. Facts have shown that there are no traps in the first section of this mountain road.
And even when we got to the place where the mountain road narrowed just now, there was no trap. After walking a few steps forward, this trap suddenly appeared. But even if it appeared suddenly, people who walked here would have already been used to it.
It’s safe on the road, so you don’t deliberately pay attention to your steps, such as Li Xingchen just now.
Fortunately, Sein Fei and the others had been in the mountains for a long time and did not relax their vigilance because of the safety of this section of the road. In addition, the hunters had extremely keen awareness of traps, so they were able to discover the strangeness here in time.
Song Fei squatted down and looked the trap up and down together with Li Xingchen, and then said softly: "Brother Chen, the place where this trap is set is really unexpected, but looking at the trap set up, it is definitely shoddy, even if it is just out of our village.
A kid who has been hunting for a year or two will not make such a trap."
Li Qiu behind him also nodded and said: "This trap is not deep enough. Even if a living person falls in, he will be injured. Even the lucky ones can climb out alive. Moreover, the surrounding pit walls are obviously not tightly beaten, so it is easy."
If it collapses, fill it up yourself, not to mention that the branches and leaves covering it are a bit dense, which seems to be a deliberate disguise."
Li Xingchen nodded. Even a time-traveler who was a novice in this area could tell that the trap was indeed somewhat manageable. Or it was more likely that the person who set the trap was not very good at this aspect. This seemed more complicated.
It can be proved that these bandits were originally stragglers, but what really worries Li Xingchen is that although this trap is not very good, the location of the trap is very dangerous. Even an old hunter in the mountains may be caught if he is not careful.
The horse stumbled, and the trap was placed in the middle of the road, obviously for the purpose of killing people.
It shows that this is a group of enemies who are proficient in killing skills and not very afraid of killing. They are most likely a group of veterans.
Even though Li Xingchen had never been on the battlefield in his two lifetimes, he knew very well that the veteran Youzi was much more difficult to deal with than the new recruits, because the new recruits only knew how to charge blindly, while the veteran Youzi knew how to protect himself at the same time.
life, while putting the enemy to death.
"Keep going." Li Xingchen patted Song Fei on the shoulder, signaling for him to watch behind him. He also picked up the sickle and walked carefully through the trap.
Song Fei and others hesitated for a moment, then nodded solemnly. Obviously, the methods of these enemies had frightened them more or less, but after all, they were all young men, and they were the pillars of the village. If they were all
If we can't go forward to investigate the matter clearly, I'm afraid no one else in the village will have this ability.
At this time, for the sake of the women, children, old and weak people in the village, I had to fight even if I had to bite the bullet.
The mountain road was still very narrow, and it was completely cut off no more than a hundred feet forward. On this road, Li Xinchen and the others found two more traps, which were similar to the traps at the beginning. Standing at the end of the mountain road, Li Xinchen looked at a row of bamboos lying in front of him.
I couldn't help but frown, why did these thieves not leave once they got here? The bamboos in front of me were no denser than the rows of bamboo walls I encountered just now. With the thieves' methods, they could easily split a road.
At this moment, you could vaguely hear the sound mixed in the mountain wind. Although it was very low, you could still identify the direction of the sound. Song Fei, Li Qiu and Zheng Qing also subconsciously pricked up their ears. The ears of the hunters in the mountains were
Shangqiu could easily distinguish the sounds of insects and beasts in the mountains, let alone human sounds.
"...This village looks difficult to deal with..."
"Don't be afraid, we can do it when the time comes..."
"...Don't take too long, hurry back..."
The voices in the wind were all intermittent, but I could vaguely tell the identity of the other party. He was the person who had evil intentions towards the village. At this time, the faces of Song Fei and the other three people also became solemn, and they all raised their heads to look at Li Xingchen. Song Fei just thought
He was about to say something, but was stopped by Li Xingchen. Song Fei nodded, then pointed in the direction of the village and waved his hand. The meaning was very clear that the person speaking was not from the village.
Li Xingchen leaned behind some thick bamboos and turned his head slightly, just in time to see two figures sneaking towards the mountain road. Song Fei and the other three also slowly raised the sickles and hoes in their hands, obviously watching.
Here are these two people.
It has to be said that the two spies chosen by the bandits are quite agile and can shuttle back and forth between the bamboos. It is no wonder that they can move forward even if they do not open a road.
"Do you think anyone will find the road we opened?" one of them asked as he approached Li Xingchen's hiding place.
"Of course not," another person said with a smile, "Our road is hidden enough that it is impossible to find it unless you deliberately search for it. And it leads all the way to a place not far from the village. Then the brothers can go directly from here
