In the dense forest, Yinghou looked at the footprints on the ground and his face was gloomy and terrifying because he found that Long Chen was very cunning and sometimes deliberately left footprints to mislead him.
Because as he walked, Long Chen's footprints disappeared. After thinking about it for a moment, he knew that after Long Chen walked for a while, he followed his original footprints and walked backwards, and then ran away to another place.
But the footprints of the first time I walked were a little clearer, which was deliberately for Yinghou to see, which made Yinghou spend more time searching.
Yinghou Kong couldn't get angry, and Long Chen was too cunning because the direction Long Chen sometimes went was where he deliberately left his footprints.
Being weak and real, Yinghou had to follow him honestly, and he felt that Long Chen was not far from him, but he couldn't find it, so angry that his lungs were irritated.
Now that day and night have passed, Yinghou gradually became impatient, but he had no choice but to continue to search based on his footprints.
The two of them started playing hide-and-seek in this endless forest. Although Long Chen had a certain advantage, Long Chen did not dare to be careless at all.
As long as Long Chen wanted, he could quickly get rid of Yinghou's tracking, but he couldn't do that. He always kept a distance of more than ten miles from Yinghou.
This distance just allows a powerful man in Yijin realm to feel the distance of hostility, but he cannot determine his position. This was intentional by Long Chen.
Now that he has killed Xia Changfeng and the Fourth Prince sent Yinghou to kill him, it means that the Fourth Prince is no longer so concerned about his father.
Now the entire Long family is in danger. At this moment, Yinghou was dragged down by himself, on the one hand, to buy time for Aman and let him return to the imperial capital as soon as possible.
When Yinghou appeared, Long Chen quietly told Aman that no matter who escaped, he would return to the imperial capital first.
Sending his family to the Alchemist Guild, with his relationship with Master Yunqi, Master Yunqi would never ignore it. At that time, even if the fourth prince wanted to touch the Long family, he still needed to consider it.
The other is that as long as Yinghou does not return to the imperial capital for a day and the fourth prince cannot get the news of his own death, it is unlikely that he will attack the Long family.
So now Long Chen is taking great risks to hold Yinghou up, and there is nothing he can do, he must do.
While moving forward carefully, Long Chen suddenly saw a beetle as big as a palm crawling slowly on a big tree.
When Long Chen saw the beetle, his eyes lit up. He recognized the beetle called "unicorn" because it had a horn on its nose, which was very similar to a horn.
This is a beetle with a very gentle temperament and moves particularly slowly. Although it is only the size of a palm, its power is amazingly great.
In this way, a beetle can drag a heavy object of twenty or thirty kilograms. Because of its amazing power, people have put the word "ox" in its name.
He reached out and held the unicorn cow the size of a palm in his hand, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said softly: "Hehe, little guy, please help me."
Regardless of its anger, he threw the little guy into his pocket and walked forward for about a while. Long Chen nodded. This was a good place.
Take out a thin silk from the space ring. It is black silk. Although it is thin, it is very strong. One can lift a hundred pounds of weight. Most adventurers will carry some on their bodies.
Whether it is making ropes or laying traps, they are very ideal. The most important thing is that black silkworms are artificially bred and the price is very cheap.
Long Chen took out the black silk, looked around, and nodded with satisfaction. The color of the silk matched the surrounding background and was not easy to be discovered.
I found a short tree as thick as an egg, pushed it gently, and felt amazing elasticity. I gently wrapped the silk around the short tree.
The short tree is immediately bent when pulled by silk, like a bow arm. Once it loses the power of silk, it will pop out quickly.
When Long Chen did these things, he was careful. If he made any mistakes, he might make a huge sound and attract Yinghou.
But think about it if this trap is laid out, once it is triggered, all these risks are worth it.
After setting up the "slingshot", Long Chen observed the surrounding situation. The thorns on both sides were dense, and there was only a natural and loose path.
When people are running wildly, they will use their instinct to choose the path with the least resistance, so this is an ideal place to place the trigger device.
I arranged several lines of defense on the ground and confirmed the distance. No matter what pace the other party was, I would definitely step on one before I could feel relieved.
He reached out and took out the beetle, tied one of its legs with black silk, and placed it on a big tree. The unicorn began to climb slowly, but it did not crawl around, but climbed about three feet above the big tree.
Because where, Long Chen placed a piece of petal of a phalaenopsis. Phalaenopsis is a medicinal herb, and its petals contain very rich sugar.
The unicorn favorite thing is to eat petals. Although the petal in Long Chen's hand has dried up, the unicorn instantly discovered it with its amazing sense of smell and crawled forward desperately.
The speed of the unicorn was too slow. After a full stick of incense, it had just climbed to the place.
However, when the unicorn cow was about to enjoy the food, Long Chen shook his hands and the poor little guy was immediately pulled down.
Long Chen estimated the time and tied a knot to the unicorn cow again. This knot was a slip knot, and a small ring was tied next to the knot. Once the small ring was touched, it would immediately release, and the little guy would be liberated.
After carefully tying the knot, he tied a stone weighing five or six kilograms to the other end of the silk, repeatedly confirmed several times, and looked at the route of the unicorn crawling.
When the unicorn crawls to the phalaenopsis petals, the slip knot will scrape the dead branches that protrude on one side, untie the knot and let the stone fall to the ground.
After Long Chen checked the trap from beginning to end, a strange smile appeared on his face, and he found a leaf like a palm-shaped fan around him, and then sneaked behind the big tree.
After a while, Long Chen placed the beetle on the tree again and saw that the beetle was still crawling along the original route, but because it was dragging a stone, the speed was slightly slower.
Nodded, Long Chen quietly retreated. Now everything is ready, but the east wind is not available. As for whether it can succeed, it depends on Yinghou. He unfolded and disappeared deep in the dense forest.
Half an hour later, Yinghou carefully searched Long Chen's traces, and suddenly a strange sound came, it was the sound of the stone rolling down.
The sound was originally very subtle, but in Yinghou's ears, who was listening to the movements around him, it was simply a thunderclap.
"Swoosh"
Yinghou didn't think about it and rushed towards that direction. The speed was as fast as a gust of wind, and the distance between seven or eight miles was reached in an instant.
That sound is definitely not a sound that nature should have. He knew that it should be the sound of accidentally stepping on a stone.
In this dead forest, except for him, only Long Chen would make such a sound.
When he thought of Long Chen Yinghou, he felt angry. Last night, he basically didn't rest all night and didn't even have time to recover from his energy.
The damn beasts, like crazy, moved closer to him. Although the beasts could not pose a threat to him, they disturbed his healing.
His wounds cannot be healed by pills alone. He must cooperate with spiritual energy to heal his wounds, but he has never had time and no chance to do this.
The inability to maintain the peak combat power made Yinghou very insecure, so he urgently needed to kill Long Chen and return to the imperial capital to heal his wounds.
It took only a few breaths to Yinghou to arrive at the place where the sound was located, but there was no Long Chen here. Under a big tree, there was a rolling stone, and there seemed to be some handwriting on the stone.
Yinghou glanced around for a moment and found that there was no Long Chen's figure around. He couldn't help but look a little ugly. He knew that he might have been fooled.
He walked slowly towards the stone. He wanted to see what Long Chen left him. He had just taken a few steps and suddenly his feet moved. Then the short tree not far away shook, and a green ball wrapped in leaves flew towards him.
Yinghou sneered in his life, swung the long sword in his hand, and slashed directly at the ball of things.
"Hmph, the eagle is small..."
"puff"
What he didn't expect was that when his long sword touched the thing, the thing wrapped in green leaves suddenly burst out, and juice flowed out of the sky.
Because the incident happened suddenly and the distance was close, Yinghou was unable to touch the water and was splashed all over by the juice, and a scent of odor spread.
Yinghou also sputtered a lot in his mouth, and suddenly the mouth was extremely stenched. Yinghou couldn't help but be shocked and hurriedly retreated. His first reaction was that this thing might be poisonous.
However, although that thing smells extremely bad, he has no sign of poisoning, and his qi and blood are circulating normally.
At this time, after he found out that he had fallen into the mechanism, the stone that had originally landed on the ground turned around, revealing the handwriting on it:
"A little gift is not respectful. I originally wanted to give you a big lump, but my stomach is not very comfortable recently, and I really have no strength to do it. Please forgive me, Lord Yinghou."
After reading the handwriting, Yinghou suddenly turned pale. Looking at the sticky things on his body, his stomach was in a state of turmoil.
"vomit……"
"Long Chen..."
Yinghou let out a heart-wrenching roar. The sound was like a cracking stone through the clouds and rocks, shaking the entire forest, and countless birds and beasts were frightened and fleeing everywhere.
Long Chen was on a big tree, looking at the birds in the distance, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. The discomfort of being chased by Yinghou finally relieved.
Since this day, Yinghou's face has become even more gloomy, and Long Chen has become more careful and dare not set up such a trap anymore.
After all, if you fail in the arrangement process, you will be in a desperate situation. The previous action is just to cheer him up and increase his confidence.
Now that everything has been done, it’s time for him to stop. Be careful to make the ten thousand-year-old ship. He doesn’t want the favorable situation he created to be reversed all of a sudden.
After chasing and running, eight days passed quickly. During these eight days, Long Chen escaped during the day and used various skills to get rid of the entanglement of wild beasts at night, and then began to heal his wounds.
With the help of the healing pill, Long Chen recovered very quickly, the meridians on his right hand had been completely recovered, and the injuries in his body were also recovered.
Since Yinghou killed the beast on the first day and caused trouble for himself, he began to learn to be smart. When he was resting at night, he jumped onto a high tree and stayed away from the ground, giving himself time to rest and start healing. He had a deep skill and recovered very quickly.
Until the ninth day, when Long Chen crossed a stream and entered a dense forest ahead, there was a sudden movement above his head.
Long Chen raised his head and his face changed drastically: My life is over!
Chapter completed!
