Chapter 664 The Gate of Yellow Springs (2)
In conjunction with our actions, Tianzhu arranged for Guilang, Xiaoba and Pengfei to lead the team to disrupt the sight of the demons, and to sit in the formation in person, and still control the overall situation.
The four of us, plus the three major beasts, quietly touched a small canyon behind the immortal team, and planned to start digging down from the bottom of the valley, pass directly through the feet of the demon players, and arrive at the Huangquan.
Because it is still far from the battlefield and is the back of the immortal camp, there are basically no players appearing. In order not to expose our identities, we all used the Night Star Grass to hide our bodies, slowly climb down the steep rock walls, and give up flying.
"Can you climb rocks?" I took out the tools and distributed them to everyone, and asked the little rookie.
Fantasy Master Huan and Bai Qingyi are both old birds, and this little thing should not be a problem for them. Xuanwu, Zhuque and White Tiger are both divine beasts. Even if they transform into humans, they all have the ability to fly. After taking the Night Star Grass, they will not be exposed by using the flying skills. The only thing to worry about is Sirius.
"Uh... I want to climb down from here?" Sirius looked at the head and said, "Since you can do anything, I can do it too!"
Since he said it was OK, that's OK.
Originally, I was thinking that if this kid was timid, he would ask Zhuque to carry him down. But if he wanted to be bold in front of the beauty, I had nothing to say.
Looking at the boy's slightly trembling legs, I threw a rope over and said, "Tie this around my waist. If the foot slips, we can pull you up in time."
Sirius hesitated for a moment and finally tied the buckle on the rope to his belt. His equipment was brand new. It just happened to be suitable for players at level 60. Li Gui was so good to him, the master, so good that we were jealous.
"Okay, go down." Seeing that everyone was ready, I waved and jumped down.
Sirius shivered, knocked the ice pick carefully into the rock, then grabbed it with both hands and slowly slid down. It can be seen that he was a little unfamiliar with such actions and was very nervous. But he had tied the other end of the rope to my waist and Li Gui, so that even if he didn't have to do it, we could successfully take him to the bottom of the canyon.
The black trunk and the white tiger flew gently to protect their masters, just in case. The rock wall about twenty or thirty stories high was about slid to the bottom in less than half an hour.
"Don't move!" As soon as my feet stepped onto the solid land, I suddenly waved my hand and stopped everyone from moving.
"What's wrong?" Sirius was clumsyly untiing his belt. His upper body was still hanging from the rock wall. He turned his head and asked blankly.
"There is a trap." As a hunter, the fantasy master Huan discovered what was under our feet in time.
Just against the edge of the rock wall, at least no less than a hundred traps were placed densely. As long as we take another step forward, it will be triggered immediately.
And on my right foot, I had already stepped on one of the traps. As long as I raised my legs a little, all of us would suffer.
Suzaku pulled Sirius and flew up, while Xuanwu, White Tiger, and Bai Suyi remained on the rock wall, lowering their heads and watching. They had no way to discover these traps, only the illusionist Huan can help.
"I'll break the trap for you." said the fantasy master Huan.
"No." I am a great master of the agency, do you still need someone else to remove the trap for me?
Slowly squatting down, I clearly saw that I was stepping on a very thin metal wire under my feet. As long as I moved, the mechanism would be triggered.
I gently held the wire with my fingers. I found the trigger point of the trap along the direction, and carefully fiddled it for a few times. The wire broke with the sound, and I lifted my feet up.
Is it the trap left behind in the previous battle? Or is someone coming to this place again?
Bent down, I carefully looked at the footprints and traces nearby and quickly came to the conclusion.
These traps were not left over from previous battles, but were only set up here not long ago.
Judging from the traces on the scene, these players, like us, climbed down from this rock wall and set up this trap area before leaving. The direction they were moving forward was also towards the Huangquan side. And they should not have been away for too long.
Is it from the Immortals or the Demons?
According to my estimate, players of the Immortal Clan are now generally concentrated above and have almost gained an advantage. No gang would use such sneak attack tactics.
Moreover, from the perspective of those mechanism traps, they are all high-quality goods of great value. They are placed here, obviously to delay the possible pursuit of the local chasm. If it is the immortal camp, there is no need to do this. Because after this, it is almost impossible for a large number of demon players to appear, so no one will waste a lot of money here.
Since you are not a fairy player, you are an enemy.
I pondered for a moment and said, "We may have encountered players who are doing the Demons to stop the task of closing the Yellow Spring Gate. Unexpectedly, we actually chose the same path."
"So do you want to catch up?" asked the fantasy master Huan.
"Don't hurry for the time being." I waved my hand and smiled, "Now we know the other party's existence and we also know that they have chosen this path, but they don't know what we are moving. Obviously, since they have chosen this path, they are all planning to dig holes like us. Let's follow behind quietly. Wouldn't it be better to save some effort?"
"Then these traps..."
"Don't worry about it," I said, "Everyone walks forward in my footprints and be careful on the road. Maybe the opponent still has a spy left behind on the road, so you must be ready for battle at any time."
Along the way, I used the Sky Eye Technique to explore the traps on the road and the footprints of those players. I slowly walked through the canyon and walked westward less than two hundred meters along the rock wall. Sure enough, I found a hole behind a protruding rock.
———
The entrance of the cave was very hidden and small, so it only allowed a person to enter the waist. Outside the entrance of the cave, some rock fragments were blocked. If we hadn't guessed in advance that these players would use this method, I believe it would be difficult for us to discover the existence of this entrance.
Standing at the entrance of the cave, I leaned my head and looked in. The cave was very dark, but it was much wider than the outside. This shows that the other party should have a large number of people. The hole was small, just for convenience of concealment. If there were only one or two people, there was no need to make it so wider inside.
I put my ear on the wall and listened, and I could hear some vague sounds, which should be made by some mechanism digging the rock.
"It seems that they should have been in for a while. We followed carefully, be careful. If you have no choice, don't take action, so as not to alarm the enemy."
I turned around and said in a low voice, bent down, and got into the small hole, Bai Qingyi followed closely behind me, and then the fantasy master Fantasy and Sirius, and several divine beasts walked at the end.
"If we meet, just kill them directly?" Sirius muttered quietly from behind, as if we felt that we had such strong strength and were actually too careful.
"What do you know?" said the fantasy master Huan, "We only have four people now. Even if we add divine beasts and our respective pets, there are not many people. What if we alarm the snake and get into the other party's brigade, are you planning to fight against one hundred or be delegated to the level?"
"Then let's just kill people and silence them?" Sirius was still obsessed with it and continued to ask.
Kill someone to silence? Sure enough, a good idea.
However, after they die, they can send messages when they arrive at the resurrection point. Even if they may not receive them during the mission, can they still go down and call people directly?
This kid seems to have not understood the difference between game and reality.
Five minutes after entering the hole, we encountered our first enemy.
It was a player from the demon camp, a ghost hunter, who was lying in a relatively narrow place to set up a trap.
It seems that these guys are so careful that the entrance of the hole is so hidden, and they are still trapped. But in my opinion, this is a total waste of money.
Instead of spending so much time setting up traps, it is better to use the same energy to clear the traces left on the road. Putting so many traps here is simply to let the other party know that there is something strange ahead and attract the opponent to continue chasing.
Of course, if it were an ordinary team, it might take a lot of time to clear the traps.
I have to admit that this hunter who sets traps is considered a master, but no matter what master, the traps he sets always have flaws. However, for ordinary players, these flaws are not easy to find. Even if they find them, it will take a lot of effort to crack them.
Unfortunately, I have both the Heavenly Eye Technique and the Grand Master-level Mechanism. It is too easy to find and destroy these things. Therefore, I don’t have to pay attention to those traps at all. I just need to find the gaps in it. At most, I can destroy the trigger points of some Mechanisms. The people behind can step on my footprints and move forward.
"Don't alarm the hunter, let's go around directly from the side." I gestured to Bai Suyi behind me, and then passed it over one by one.
This approach is of course difficult, but to avoid unnecessary trouble, it is worth spending even a little more time.
I was careful that Li Yi stepped forward in the gap on the road, and controlled his breathing as much as possible so that his opponent would not notice it.
