Soul Master Manual

Chapter 173 Multiple Traps
Well?
The girl sitting on Kuidou's shoulders grasped the branches around its head, feeling extremely at ease.

However, she looked puzzled when she saw that she was walking at the end, leaving black lines thinner than hair on the ground.

What is this doing?
Moreover, after burying the silk thread, Kuidou who walked in the front will restore the ground to its original state, leaving no trace of their walking.

The girl couldn't understand, but she wasn't the only one who left with her.

Three of them can still be understood as the three "thugs" who have been active in this forest all year round and are proficient in hunting and trapping.

obviously.

Li Chang'an and Xiao Huan are setting up some "warning lines".

It would be best if no one came after him.

But if someone really doesn't want to let these insignificant little robbers go, these shadow threads hidden under the ground can play a good role.

At least.

Can tell them how far the enemy is.

Therefore, when they looked at Li Changan, they were full of conviction.

really.

The people who can be found by the head to escort them away will not be ordinary people.

The series of things Li Changan did made them feel at ease.

When they walked a certain distance, Xiao Huan put away the cover of "Shadow Dun" and "Mo Ying".

At the same time, the people who had been holding their breath and daring not to speak finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Uncle, are you from outside? Are you from Molong City?"

The first one who couldn't hold back was obviously the girl who sneaked out.

Looking at Li Changan's eyes, apart from the innocence and purity that are rarely seen outside, there is also full of curiosity.

Li Changan had seen this look before, it was the same as when he saw Xiaohuan for the first time in the Mimic Zone of the Quiet Meeting.

The kind of eyes that have never been polluted by the outside world.

only.
uncle?

The corners of Li Changan's eyes twitched slightly.

Although, it's not a problem to call him that when a girl is eleven or twelve years old.

But why should Yin Lin be an elder sister, and he must be an uncle?
"woooooooo~~"

Feeling the helplessness in Li Changan's heart, Xiao Huan covered his mouth and snickered, but accidentally couldn't hold back the laughter.

He glanced at it angrily.

Thinking about it, there is no need to argue with a little girl.

Besides, Yin Lin is a sister and he is an uncle, so isn't he a generation taller than Yin Lin?
Comforting myself like this, I feel a lot better.

Slightly nodded and said: "Yes."

After receiving an affirmative answer, the girl's bright eyes instantly became brighter, and she asked, "Does the uncle really have ice cream outside? Is there a school where many children play together? And, there is also that kind of school." Is there an amusement park where many children play together?"

Listening to her question, Li Changan didn't respond yet.

The adults around her fell silent.

Looking at the state of those adults, Li Changan almost understood the state of the "Hidden Forest" group.

Although, living in the dense jungle, they can avoid the disturbance of the outside world through the natural danger of the forest.

But because of this, many children lost the fun they should have had.

Being part of the same couple and derailed from the world, for these children, after all, it still deprives them of some choices.

Just looking at the girl's eyes eager to get an answer, Li Changan nodded again, "Yes."

After a pause, he added: "If there is a chance, I can take you to see it."

"Really?!"

The girl's face was full of surprises.

"Meow~~Meow~~"

Xiao Huan rushed to answer.

It also saw its own shadow from the girl.

"Woooo!"

The girl pounded her head vigorously, sobbing excitedly.

Several adults looked at her and opened their mouths to say something, but they didn't say anything.

They can't tell the girl that although there are many novel things in the outside world, it is accompanied by more helpless and disappointing things.

However, they should at least give the girl a choice.

Li Changan didn't say much about this.

In any case, it has nothing to do with him.

After exiting the shadows, their forward speed was much faster.

But just when everyone thought they were completely out of danger, Xiao Huan suddenly spoke out.

"Meow!"

Li Changan's complexion also changed slightly.

"The traces were covered up like this, but they were still found."

Everyone noticed his expression, and their hearts tightened.

Are you catching up?

How about the master?
No problem, right?

Although they have absolute confidence in Hidden Forest's strength and ability, the other party is, after all, the "Spark" bandit gang that came out in full force.

The first thing they worried about was actually their boss.

If Li Changan knew what they were thinking, he would definitely have a deeper understanding of the "Hidden Forest" group of people.

"Xiao Huan, how many people?"

The shadow threads left alone are obviously not enough to obtain this information.

However, Li Changan let Xiao Huan leave these silk threads for the purpose of perceiving the pursuit, but there is another function.

Xiao Huan can use these threads as a basis to obtain information from "Ying Yan".

The phantoms in the eyes flickered and fluctuated.

Results were obtained in no time.

"Meow-"

He raised his two paws and opened his fingers.

It should be two third-level and five second-level.

seven people.
Really think highly of them.

Li Changan took a deep breath, stood where he was and did not leave immediately.

Xiao Huan and Kui Dou looked at him, waiting for him to make a decision.

Ya Tou and several people from "Hidden Forest" also looked at him.

He still doesn't want to run, does he?
He won't give up on us, will he?

Several adults couldn't help but have such thoughts in their hearts.

From a normal person's point of view, there is nothing wrong with doing so.

But the girl believed him very much.

After a while.

Li Changan suddenly said: "Do you know any places around here that are easy to defend but difficult to attack?"

In terms of understanding the surrounding environment, it is obviously them.

Hearing this, everyone in the "Hidden Forest" secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"I know." One of them said.

"You are?"

"Wu Liang."

Unscrupulous?

Li Changan didn't hesitate either.

"Okay, let's go."

A secluded slope.

The slope is very steep, and because it is the backlit side, there is a lot of moss on the slope, and it is not easy to settle down.

Moreover, the slope is very long, and it will take a lot of time to go around it. If you can stand on the top of the slope, if you don't have flying spirit beasts, it is really difficult to go up. It is a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

It is obviously unrealistic to take these injured people and a little girl to avoid a group of robbers who are more familiar with the forest environment.

So, if you really want to leave safely, getting rid of them is the only option.

Standing under the slope, Wu Liang couldn't help asking:
"Are we going to stay here and fight?"

"Do your spirit beasts still have fighting power?"

Li Changan asked back.

Several people looked at each other, gritted their teeth together and said:

"Have!"

Then one of them glanced at the girl and the two women, and asked hesitantly:

"Can you let the girls go first? Let's break up!"

"No need." Li Changan shook his head, "If they pass us, they will be caught up sooner or later, just wait here for the result."

The three strong men showed determination and nodded heavily.

"I hope you, Brother Changqing, can take them away. We will definitely buy enough time."

But Li Changan waved his hand.

Lead Xiaohuan and Kuidou to a position 100 meters away from the slope.

"You guys, the more serious and tragic the destruction here, the better it looks like a battle broke out."

Ok?
The three who heard the words were stunned.

destroy?

Li Changan frowned slightly.

"I don't have time to explain to you, if you want to survive, just do it!"

"oh oh."

Facing Li Changan who suddenly became unquestionable, the three of them nodded honestly.

After making these arrangements, Li Changan took Xiao Huan and Kuidou back another 30 meters.

"Kidou."

Afterwards, Li Changan commanded Kuidou and began to draw special ceremonial patterns on the ground, covering an area larger than all the ceremonies he had drawn before.

While Kui Dou is in charge of drawing, Xiao Huan carefully uses "the ink that makes people move around" to lay down the shadow lines.

"Kui Dou, the line on this side should be bent a little more. Xiao Huan, the ink line on this side should be darker."

The two spirit beasts cooperate very well.

The sound of "bang bang bang" on the other side is even more endless.

The ritual patterns are drawn precisely, without even the slightest mistake, otherwise the entire ceremony will not be able to function, and it will be considered trivial, and some unpredictable dangers will be the most deadly.

After drawing and filling the ink lines, Li Changan asked Kuidou to restore the ground to its original state and cover it with dead branches and fallen leaves.

"Brother Changqing, do you think this is about the same?"

On the other side, Wu Liang and the others almost destroyed the forest.

Mess all over the place.

After a brief glance, Li Changan nodded slightly.

"Okay. Then you go over there to set up traps. Just set up the traps that you use most often and are powerful enough to kill. Be careful not to guess these lines."

Point to the other side of the ceremony, near the ramp.

The doubts in the eyes of the three grew stronger.

What is this going to do?
One of them reminded: "Brother Changqing, although we are very confident in the traps we set up, they are all for dealing with wild spirit beasts. Dealing with 'Xinghuo' people may not be very effective."

"It's okay, just do it."

Li Changan didn't raise his head, and continued to arrange the ceremony with a serious expression.

The value of the materials used this time is high, and after getting rid of this trouble, Hidden Forest must be reimbursed.

If it didn't work, he went to Fei Chengqing to reimburse him.

In short, it must be reimbursed!

The attitude is extremely firm.

After setting up the ceremony, he asked Kuidou to cover up the trap set by the three of them.

Although it looks a lot hidden, it is quite obvious to professionals.

After finishing all these preparations, Li Changan walked down the slope with a few people in the fog.

"Xiao Huan, send them up."

Under Li Chang'an's signal, Xiao Huan sent the girl and the other two women to the slope.

Subsequently.

He took out several bottles from his arms and poured out some colorful pills.

"One per person, and spirit beasts too, don't eat more, but don't eat less, don't blame me if you die."

As he spoke, he ate a few for himself, Xiao Huan and Kui Dou respectively.

"This is."

Although puzzled, Wu Liang and the others still complied.

"An antidote."

Li Changan said something calmly.

Antidote?

This is to use poison?
However, ordinary poisons don't work on those people.

And
so much? !

From now until now, Li Changan made a lot of arrangements, but Wu Liang and the other three expressed that they couldn't understand them at all.

"Wait a minute, all actions are under my command, including facial expressions."

After glancing at the three people with determined expressions on their faces, Li Changan warned.

expression?

The three of Wu Liang were stunned for a moment, and finally they all nodded stiffly.

Everyone quietly waited for the pursuit to arrive.

"Meow."

Following Xiao Huan's soft drink, Li Changan narrowed his eyes.

"coming."

soon.

Several figures appeared in their line of sight, followed by their respective spirit beasts.

"Brother Li, they are over there."

The "A Li" and "A Xin" in Xie Xinghuo's mouth became "Brother Li" and "Brother Xin" in the mouths of these young people.

"I see." A Li glanced at Li Changan and the others, not surprised.

Instead, looking at the mess on the ground, I was a little surprised and a little puzzled.

There is a fight?
"Be careful." Ali reminded, still quite vigilant.

He didn't believe that the other party would obediently let go.

There is no small possibility of traps.

On the other side, after noticing the person coming, Li Changan said in a low voice, "Fight to the death."

Wu Liang and the others had already made such preparations. Whether it was them or their spirit beasts, they all put on the appearance of wanting to bite off a piece of meat whoever came.

Li Changan quietly handed the three opened glass bottles to Kuidou.

The knowing Kui Dou was quietly transported underground through the roots, and placed in the ritual center drawn by Li Changan earlier.

For a while, the colorless and odorless poison gas began to slowly drift away.

These three bottles are all the poisons left to him by the ancient mother-in-law. One bottle has been used before and is highly poisonous. The other two bottles, one bottle has hallucinatory and hypnotic effects, and the other bottle has the effect of paralysis and sensory insensitivity .

The seven Ali Ashin walked through the messy place and walked into the ceremony.

Ok?
Ashin noticed that there seemed to be traces of reclamation on the ground, but he was not sure because of the interference of "battle traces".

At this time, a sharp-eyed subordinate reminded:
"Brother Li, Brother Xin, there is a trap!"

Right between Li Yi and Li Chang'an, the trap set by Wu Liang and the others, which seemed to be a well-covered trap, was discovered almost in the blink of an eye by someone who was also good at setting traps.

The seven of Ashin looked at it, and suddenly showed a sudden look.

Coupled with the resoluteness of Li Changan, the others and their spirit beasts, all of them showed ferocious smiles.

The battle of trapped beasts.

"Brother Changqing, they discovered the trap." Wu Liang said regretfully.

Li Changan's expression remained unchanged.

"It was meant to be left for them to see."

Ok?
The traces of the trap attracted their attention very well, but the lines buried by the ceremony were subconsciously ignored.

"Surprised, then angry."

Before they could understand, Li Changan's voice rang in the ears of Wu Liang and the others again.

Hearing this, they couldn't help being startled.

Earlier Li Changan did confess that their expressions would need to be under his control afterwards, but this sudden change was more or less uncomfortable.

From the corner of his eyes, Li Changan's mouth twitched slightly as he watched the three of them's stiff expressions change.

No acting skills at all.

However, because the seven Ashin and Ali were relatively far away, they were not noticed much.

Barely enough.

"Brother Li, Brother Xin, kill them?" One of them said impatiently.

But A Li frowned, and swept over Li Changan's spirit beasts.

The fight between trapped beasts is a fight to the death. It is most likely that the besiegers will suffer heavy losses due to the opponent's counterattack regardless of their lives.

The other party is obviously at the end of their battles, and such a loss is not worth the loss for them.

First determine how much resistance they still have.

"Both of you, go test the spirit beast."

A Li casually ordered two of his men and their spirit beasts.

The two looked at each other without any objection.

The trap has been discovered, and Li Changan and the others are in extremely bad condition. Even if there is danger, there should be time to retreat in time.

So ever.

"Fanged Beast, attack!"

"Sword Feather Falcon, Feather Sword!"

Two spirit beasts of the fifth and sixth ranks of the negative level launched attacks from the ground and the air respectively.

The three of Wu Liang had nothing to do about it, their spirit beasts really didn't have much fighting power.

But Li Changan didn't take their combat power into account from the beginning.

Xiao Huan and Kui Dou are enough to deal with it.

"Xiao Huan, the pupil of the phantom. Kuidou, Spear!"

It was said that the first cooperative battle between the two spirit beasts showed a good tacit understanding under Li Changan's command.

"Meow-"

I saw Xiao Huan, who was light and nimble like a black leopard, roared towards the sword-feather falcon that was rushing towards the sky, and at the same time he attracted the attention of the other party, the light blue halo in his eyes suddenly spread, hazy , The illusory color burst out from the bottom of the eyes, when Jian Yu Falcon looked at Xiao Huan, his body froze suddenly.

next second.

"include!!"

The burly Kuidou held his palm in the air, and a large amount of sawdust, dead branches, and broken wood instantly condensed into a thick wooden spear in his hand.

The "Spike" skill has also been added to the spear.

whoosh-

The sound of breaking through the sky suddenly sounded.

The Sword Feather Falcon didn't even have time to react, when it came back to its senses, a sharp wooden spear with a cold glow appeared in front of its eyes, occupying most of its pupils.

Brutal! ! !
Jian Yu Falcon screamed out.

puff--! ! !
But in an instant, the wooden spear pierced through it.

the first one.

"what--!!"

As Jian Yu Falcon's spiritual master, feeling the break of the contract, he covered his head in pain and knelt on the ground, his body trembling uncontrollably.

The Tusk Beast that launched the attack together with the Sword Feather Falcon, after passing through the trap area, came up to Li Changan and the others in a surprise attack.

But what greeted it was the Moying three-tailed civet with a bit of playfulness in its eyes.

"Xiao Huan, don't wait any longer."

In this regard, Xiao Huan, who is proficient in "acting skills", deeply understands Li Chang'an's meaning.

With a tired face, he avoided the attack of the Fanged Beast with great "difficulty", and then wiped his body with one claw.

Roar--! !

The pain-eating fangs beast had a ferocious expression, and rushed out again without hesitation.

And Xiao Huan stood on the ground, his chest heaved violently for a moment, then he saw the right moment and rushed out.

puff-

The sharp claws instantly pierced through the body of the Fanged Beast.

The second one.

After beheading two spirit beasts one after another, two of the seven people who came to hunt them down almost lost their ability to move because of the break of the contract.

but.

It was obvious that they were just little ones, and they were not worthy of attention. The two third-tier imperial spirit masters, A Li and Ashin, were the ones who threatened Li Changan and the others the most.

"See it?" Ali asked.

Ashin nodded slightly, "The Unyielding Tree Demon should be at the eighth or ninth level of the negative level, and the black cat is at the restricted level, but... the state does not seem to be ideal."

"But the speed is very fast, the attack power is very strong, and there is a certain threat." Ali added.

Able to summon two spirit beasts at the same time, he is a Tier [-] spirit master.

For the loss of the two subordinates, they didn't take it very seriously.

But the Moying three-tailed civet at the restricted level made them a little bit wary.

Regardless of life and safety, there is still a possibility that one will be replaced.

"Brother Li, Brother Xin, what should I do?" someone asked.

ka ka ka-

Before they could make a decision, Li Changan gritted his teeth and "resolutely" smashed several bottles of liquids of different colors under his feet.

All of a sudden, thick poisonous mist of various colors began to spread.

poison.
Ali narrowed his eyes, looked at Ashin, and said:
"Long-range attack, consumption."

After all, the rest of the people, including the two of them, launched their own long-range offensive methods without hesitation.

Waiting for the poisonous mist to completely dissipate, they should have no countermeasures.

"Brother Changqing, we"

Seeing Li Changan smashing a few bottles of what seemed to be relatively common poisons, Wu Liang quietly swallowed and asked.

If he hadn't taken the antidote just now, he would have died, right?

"Wait."

The answer given by Li Changan is very simple.

At the same time, he took a step forward and patted Kuidou, completing the adjustment of his ability in an instant.

"Wooden armor."

A level proficiency wooden armor.

ka ka ka-

The surrounding wooden strips and the wooden branches on Kuidou's body rapidly reconstructed and evolved.

A thick wooden knight-like armor instantly covered its whole body.

"include!!"

Kuidou took a step forward and stood in front of everyone.

"Xiao Huan, pay attention to the attacks of those limited-level spirit beasts."

"Meow!"

Kuidou is responsible for resisting relatively weak attacks, while Xiao Huan is responsible for defusing the attacks of those limited-level spirit beasts.

With such a long distance, it is obviously unrealistic to want to cause damage through long-range attacks.

However, the "Spark" people didn't intend to use this to cause damage, their purpose was to consume.

Due to the large number of people and the large number of spirit beasts, consumption is definitely the best choice.

Besides, the people and spirit beasts on the opposite side were obviously in worse condition.

And what Li Changan needs most now is time.

The result of all the arrangements he made was to convince the other party that they were dying, and they would not be able to hold on if they consumed too much.

a time.

A battle of offense and defense broke out on this slope.

Xiao Huan seems to be in a "no good" state, but it seems to have maintained this state all the time, neither good nor bad.

Kuidou endured most of the attacks, but the wooden armor on his body was extremely strong. Although he was injured, most of them were not serious. It took root in the brown roots below the ground, continuously absorbing minerals.

The Fanged Beast and Sword Feather Falcon that fell on the ground became the best nourishment for it to recover.

slowly.

Ali and Ashin finally began to realize that something was wrong.

Why does the other party seem to be a little exhausted?

Moreover, on our side, several Tier [-] imperial spirit masters have begun to feel unwell.

Poison. Poison? !

A Li shuddered and reacted instantly.

He suddenly raised his head and looked at Li Changan.

I saw that the poisonous mist on their side had dissipated.

On Li Changan's face, there was a playful smile.

The Moying three-tailed civet had crossed the trap line and appeared closer to them at some point—

The initiation edge of the ceremony.

hum-

sudden.

With Xiao Huan injecting spirituality into the ritual lines.

After a slight tremor, the hazy black mist suddenly spread.

The ancient mother-in-law is good at shadow-attribute spirit beasts, and the Astronomical Society is also good at shadow-attribute spirit beasts.

Therefore, among the rituals learned from the two parties, what Li Changan knows best is also the rituals related to the shadow attribute.

this moment.

Ritual lines are fully activated.

The home field belonging to the Moying Three-tailed Civet has also been completely opened.

And because of the numbness and insensitivity of the senses, the "Xinghuo" people, who were belatedly aware of it, finally realized it.

From the very beginning, they walked into the trap set by Li Changan.

One. With multiple camouflages, the most inconspicuous but deadliest trap.

Li Changan's voice became cold, and he said sternly:

"Xiao Huan, kill!"
