What do you mean by saying that the corpses I sew are all ominous creatures?

To be precise, it was near an old provincial highway that connects Jiangcheng and a neighboring city.

Because a straight highway was built next to it a few years ago, this relatively remote old provincial road has been deserted for a long time.

Furthermore, due to years of disrepair, the road surface is uneven and full of potholes.

This has led to even fewer people taking that road; normally, you won't even see a ghost.

I tossed my phone onto the center console and gripped the steering wheel with both hands.

"Those people at the General Administration of Radio, Film and Television are really well-informed."

I said, looking at the rain curtain in front of me.

"They not only knew when the guardian of the cauldron would order the Qi family to make their move, but they even chose the interception location in advance."

Li Qing looked at the red dot on the screen and smiled:

"Of course, if the Bureau of Folklore didn't have the power to deter these petty scoundrels, they would have already caused a huge uproar."

I nodded slightly, shifted into gear, and stepped on the gas.

The Toyota Prado suddenly sped off across the flooded road, its tires splashing water half a meter high, and raced toward the outskirts of the city.

Life and death are irrelevant.

The fact that the General Administration chose this location for the interception makes its meaning very clear.

Tonight, that old provincial highway, which is deserted year-round, is destined to be stained with blood.

I drove my car at high speed through the flooded roads in the rainy night.

As the journey continued, the dazzling neon lights representing the bustling city outside the window gradually became scarce, replaced by vast stretches of dark outlines.

This means we have left the central area of ​​Jiangcheng and entered the suburbs.

There are no exaggerated deep mountains and forests here.

What comes into view are mostly large tracts of farmland that appear somewhat desolate in the night, with scattered village lights in the distance.

And some red brick factory buildings that were built here in the early years but later went bankrupt and were abandoned.

After a turn, the car smoothly turned onto the old provincial highway.

The road conditions on the provincial highway are very poor. Due to years of lack of maintenance, the asphalt has peeled off and the road surface is full of potholes of all sizes.

As the car drove on it, it inevitably experienced bumps and jolts.

As I approached the specific location indicated by the internal network coordinates, I deliberately slowed down and turned off the headlights.

I steered the massive SUV slowly into a low-lying, secluded ditch.

Ahead, a large patch of dense bushes completely concealed it.

The engine was turned off, the key was removed, and the roar of the engine disappeared instantly. The world was immediately filled with the sound of torrential rain and muffled thunder.

"We're here," I said softly, picked up the knife case, pushed open the car door, and got out.

The moment his feet touched the ground, with a slight thought, the mercury-like killing energy within his body naturally flowed to the surface, creating an invisible aura that deflected all the rain pouring down from above.

Li Qing also jumped out of the passenger seat. Although he was carrying a heavy pile of magical artifacts, he was still very agile.

Under the cover of darkness, the two of us quickly surveyed the terrain around this old provincial highway.

This section of road is located at the bottom of a long, gentle slope, and is lined with sturdy, old roadside trees on both sides.

The branches and leaves of these trees are very lush, intertwining in mid-air like huge black umbrellas, completely blocking out the already faint sunlight.

"Old Chen, you keep an eye on things here for now."

Li Qing looked around at the terrain, then turned to me and said in a low voice:

"This place is a good starting point. I need to set up a trap around here and spread the net wider."

Looking at the large bags he was carrying, I asked softly, "Do you need me to come and help?"

Li Qing shook his head and explained earnestly:

"No need. The formation I'm going to set up this time is a bit complicated and will take a long time."

If neither of us is around, and someone manages to slip away during this gap, that would be a real problem.

"You stay here and keep watch, just in case."

Hearing this, I nodded slightly and said, "Okay, go ahead."

Without another word, Li Qing turned around, shouldered his belongings, and disappeared into the dark bushes behind a large tree beside the provincial highway.

Within seconds, his figure and footsteps were completely swallowed up by the surrounding dense vegetation and the sound of the pouring rain.

After Li Qing left, I didn't stay idle either.

After looking around for a bit, I chose a spot.

Then, I stood by the roadside, put down the knife box in my hand, and reached into my pocket to take out the bone needle.

The round, malevolent core in his dantian turned gently, and a surge of pure malevolent energy flowed along the meridians of his arm into his fingertips, being injected into the bone needles without reservation.

Accompanied by a faint humming sound imperceptible to ordinary people, a semi-transparent thread rapidly extended from the end of the bone needle.

Mirage Dragon Silk.

Holding the bone needle, I walked to the left side of the road and chose a very sturdy roadside tree that was as thick as two people could hug.

Then he squatted down, pinched one end of the mirage dragon silk, and wrapped it tightly around the bottom of the tree trunk near the roots several times, tying a knot that couldn't be tied.

After doing all that, I pulled on the Mirage Dragon Silk, wading through the puddles and muddy road, across the not-so-wide old provincial highway, and arrived at another big tree on the other side of the road.

This time, I did not let the Mirage Dragon Silk detach from the bone needle.

Instead, the bone needles, along with the silk threads, were loosely wrapped around the base of the tree twice.

In this way, a simple but deadly tripwire was created.

Although the formation Li Qing is setting up will certainly take into account the problem of vehicles forcibly breaking through the checkpoint, I always like to have an extra layer of insurance for myself at critical moments.

Moreover, although there are hardly any people walking on this old provincial highway at night, I deliberately made this mirage dragon thread quite long in order to avoid injuring innocent civilian vehicles that occasionally pass by.

In its inactive state, it drooped limply to the ground, clinging tightly to the potholes and puddles on the road.

Even if a car drives by, the tires will simply run over it without causing any obstruction.

And once I discover the person or vehicle that is coming, and confirm that they are a suspicious person...

With my current Qi control range of fifty meters, I can instantly activate the black bone needle that I hid under the tree using my mental power.

Within fractions of a second, the bone needles, carrying the mirage dragon silk, would tightly wrap around the tree trunk several times and then be driven directly into the trunk.

In this way, the length of the mirage silk can be instantly shortened, making it taut and straight in mid-air.

Fully activate this seemingly insignificant tripwire.

After doing all this, I casually tossed the black bone needle into the weeds under the tree, covering it with a few fallen leaves.

Then I stood up and patted the rain off my hands.
