Chapter 642: Poisoned Bamboo Arrows
“And look, not all these ropes are set to snap shut imdiately once soone steps on them. So might not even snag a person when stepped on. It’s very likely that the first attempt to snag won’t work, but maybe the third or fourth will.
This ans that if I hadn’t just now used a stick to beat the grass and startle the snake, at least three or four of us would have been caught and hung up by now.”
Old Niu, who had been leading the way earlier, was terrified when he thought back on it.
“Let’s get going. There’s no more ropes,” Jiang ngyu said.
“How can you be so sure?” Xiao Zhu asked irritably.
“Because no one would be that foolish to keep falling for the sa trick after several people have been caught. So, even if there are more traps ahead, they won’t be ropes; they’ll be sothing else.”
With these words from ngyu, Xiao Zhu suddenly didn’t dare to move forward.
He looked at Jiang ngyu: “Didn’t you say you’d take the lead?”
ngyu sighed inwardly. The leader had tasked Xiao Zhu with escorting Xiao Hua with the intention of having the siblings in contact, hoping Xiao Hua would feel grateful to Xiao Zhu and to ease the tension between them.
But with Xiao Zhu speaking to her like this, despite knowing that Xiao Hua respected him, he was only pushing her further away.
Sure enough, Xiao Hua gave Xiao Zhu a cold look and pushed him aside: “If you’re afraid of dying, then don’t bother escorting .”
She walked in front of ngyu: “Big sister, I’ll go with you.”
ngyu shook her head: “All of you, stay away from .” Seeing Xiao Hua attempting to approach, she added, “That’s an order!”
The traps set up by this Lao Qi needed to be carefully observed with Divine Sense to be seen clearly. A single misstep could injure soone, which would be bad.
After walking through an open area, everyone naturally began to gather around again.
ngyu suddenly ordered: “Everyone, back up quickly!”
The crowd hastily retreated and once everyone had moved a safe distance away, ngyu took a coin from her pocket and flicked it toward a fine fishing line on the path ahead.
Imdiately after, a swishing sound could be heard.
As the swishing persisted, nurous bamboo arrows were seen shooting out from the bamboo forest, all landing on that open stretch of the path.
If ngyu hadn’t made everyone back off just now, if they had been walking on that part of the path, wouldn’t they all have been hit by the bamboo arrows by now?
Although these bamboo arrows weren’t very powerful, and even though they targeted the lower part of the body, so a hit wouldn’t be fatal, an injury could still cause quite a bit of trouble. At the very least, it would affect one’s ability to walk.
Moreover, ngyu had found poison on those bamboo arrows!
Yes, even if an arrow hit, it wouldn’t cause serious injury, but the poison on the arrows could rob a person of their combat ability, rendering them unable to harm the other party, even if they were carrying guns.
Unable to help himself, Old Niu shouted angrily: “Who’s behind these sneaky tricks? Show yourself, Laozi demands it!”
Sure enough, the shouts from Old Niu were heard by Zhang Laoqi and the others ambushed further up the hill. Seeing that ngyu’s group had overco two barriers, each one of them was astonished.
How could they have avoided all these traps?
Tian Xianhua said bitterly, “What do we do now? All the traps have failed. We can’t really just start fighting them openly to snatch people, can we?”
Another man snorted, “Even if we snatch them, so what? You forgot? They’re protecting Xiao Hua, we don’t want Xiao Hua. We only want the other four girls.”
That person’s gaze was fixed on several girls in the distance. Those were all choice goods; it would be nice to have a turn with them first.
However, if the rchandise was too good, it could fetch a high price, and it’s likely that Seventh Brother wouldn’t allow them to have their way.
