With the help of the white string, Shao Xuan leaped up and dodged a vine that shot straight at him. At the same time, he held the last spear dart in his hand.
The remaining white string wrapped around the body of the dart. As Shao Xuan leaped, the white string tightened. Shao Xuan could clearly feel the pulling force from the body of the dart.
Taking a deep breath, Shao Xuan quickly swung the spear dart to the left and right, and then pulled it back forcefully.
Kill!
Creak —
The sound of sawing wood being snapped by steel wires sounded again.
However, this time, it was not just a few places that made the sound. Almost at the same time, the sound came from dozens of places at the same time, and the sound was sharper than before. Those who heard the sound felt as if they were seeing a thick tree trunk being tightened, and even their nerves were tensed up.
Although Tuo, Keke, and the others did not know what Shao Xuan wanted to do, they knew that they should try their best to cooperate with their teammates in such an emergency, even if they did not think that Shao Xuan could really do anything.
Unexpectedly, as soon as they retreated, they heard the creaking sound that tickled their nerves.
Everyone looked over, trying to find the reason for the sound, but soon they were completely shocked by the scene in front of them.
The originally loose net of ropes tightened in an instant.
As the vines swung, some of the vines were entangled by the net. Feeling the binding force, the vines struggled even harder, and the more they struggled, the tighter the net of ropes wrapped around them.
All these changes happened in less than a breath's time.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Immediately after the creaking sound, the sound of strings breaking or hardwood breaking rang out almost at the same time, making those who were tensed up feel as if their brains were about to explode.
Along with these sounds, the "blood" of the Fire Lances splashed out.
Whether it was the vines close to the ground or the vines in the air, the red liquid flowing in them splashed out almost at the same time along with the sounds.
The blood-red liquid that was spurting out from the two different Fire Lances carried the violent killing intent that belonged to the predators of the plant world. It was like two flowers of blood that bloomed at the same time. They were even more colorful than the vines that were like flames!
Tower used to think that the blood-red flowers drawn on the animal skin roll were the flowers that looked the most like blood. However, at this moment, he realized that the scene in front of him had overturned his previous thoughts. Such a visual shock would leave a deep impression on him even after a long time.
There was no smell of blood, but it was as if he had entered a slaughterhouse.
One set of kill, one set of kill, one set of sure-kill …
Shao Xuan felt that he might be able to get a feel for Old Ke's method of killing.
However, this half-finished lasso could only be regarded as a shortened version of the Chain Lasso, which was not a complete killing move. It was far from the level of a sure-kill move that old Ke had mentioned.
If the white line was long enough, the center of the noose could be contracted into a net bag similar to the one used to tie up the wind ball. However, the Fire Lances were too big in size, and there was more than one of them. Without enough materials, Shao Xuan's noose could only encircle half of the two Fire Lances.
However, it was enough to solve the problem in front of them.
The broken white line shook and then fell down lightly. The splashing red liquid was like a flower blooming and then withering. The broken vines were thrown up and fell down again …
In the blink of an eye, the two Fire Lances that were fierce just now withered.
The Fire Lances had been chopped by Ta and the others for a while. After the noose was retracted, they were injured even more. They twisted their bodies and retrieved the injured and uninjured broken branches to the center. Then, like a screw, they drilled into the ground. After a short tremor, they disappeared.
The other Fire Lances were not as injured as the former. However, it was unknown whether they were afraid of the previous attack or they knew that they had no chance of winning. They no longer persisted and drilled into the ground, leaving far away.
The battlefield that had been booming just now quieted down again. Only broken branches and flowing red liquid with the smell of plants were left on the ground.
Shao Xuan was panting heavily. The strength in his body was surging. When he was setting up the traps, he had almost reached his limit several times. His strength was almost depleted in a short time. Because he had used too much strength, in order to complete the trap in the shortest time possible, his arms, shoulders, and legs were all sore and numb. After he relaxed, his fingers trembled uncontrollably. It was estimated that they would not stop for a while.
Shao Xuan was exhausted. He did not want to stand anymore. He lifted his feet and shook off the red liquid that flowed to his feet. He looked around and saw a broken branch as thick as a bucket behind him. He did not care about the red liquid on the branch and directly went to sit down. He also put the stone box that he was holding on to on the ground.
The sound of Shao Xuan putting the stone box on the ground pulled everyone back to reality.
Tuo looked at the mess on the ground and then turned to look at Shao Xuan. When he was about to ask something, his arm was grabbed by Keke. Tuo was still nervous because of the scene just now. Keke's grab startled him. He felt that his arm was going to be broken just like the Fire Spear vine. He almost swung his arm away.
"Wh … What are you doing?!" Tuo shook his arm, trying to shake off the creepy feeling of being strangled.
"… My legs are a little weak." Keke frowned. It was rare for a person who was not afraid of anything to be so scared. Just now, he was closer to that side and planned to cut down another vine. In the end, that scene happened. Two of the vines that were closer to him splashed liquid all over his body. It was completely different from the carefree feeling he had when he cut down the vines himself. Instead, he felt a chill in his heart.
"Xuan, what was that just now?" Tuo asked after calming down.
Hearing this, the others all looked at Shao Xuan.
"Just now? It was a trap. "Shao Xuan replied.
Tuo and the others were in disbelief. How could a trap be set like that?
Shao Xuan did not explain.
In fact, such a large trap existed a long time ago. Some people in the tribe also used it. However, Old Ke said that people gradually abandoned this skill due to the pursuit of power. Plus, the stronger the prey, the higher the requirement for the material of the trap. The material was not easy to find. Later on, many people who liked to use the trap stopped using it. Therefore, there were even fewer traps that could be passed down.
Looking up at the sky, the surrounding tall trees were almost all broken down, leaving an empty space.
Under the blue sky, the broken branches and sawdust that were thrown up when the trap was closed had already fallen down. The only thing left was the white hair that was slowly floating in the breeze.
Shao Xuan reached out and caught a piece of white hair that had fallen down. This broken piece was only half of its original length. The large coil of long wire that was connected with great difficulty had all broken. Most of it was broken into small pieces like this.
After all, it was not a real steel wire. It was reasonable for it to be broken like this.
If the white wire was stronger, the trap would have been set more perfectly, and the trap would have been closed faster. At the moment of closing, the vines would have been cut quickly, and the "blood" would not have splashed out like this. Then it would have really killed the vines without leaving a trace.
Of course, it was precisely because there were still many flaws in the line of white hair that caused the visual effect and shock to be even stronger.
Not only were Ta and the others shocked, but Shao Xuan was also shocked.
He really did not expect such an effect.
It was the first time he set up such a large trap, and the effect was much better than he expected. This was also thanks to the white wire. Unfortunately, as Old Ke said, the materials were hard to find.
Ta looked at Shao Xuan with a complicated expression, and then asked the others to clean up the battlefield. They could not eat the broken branches, nor were they listed on the animal skin roll. So they threw them far away.
As for the red liquid on the ground, Ta did not care.
The Fire Spear was the "predator" here, and the "blood" of this "predator" would make many creatures retreat until the "blood" disappeared.
The most fortunate thing was that the big tree that they stayed in yesterday was still there. At that time, in order to look for the seedlings of the Green Thief, they had left some distance away. Later, when they were fighting with the Fire Spear, they moved further away. Therefore, the tree only had some traces and holes on the trunk. At least, the place where they slept tonight was still there.
