After advancing to a certain point, Shao Qing saw a group of pitiful creatures at the very front fall into a trap. This was the simplest kind of trap. The top was covered with a thin layer of soil, while the bottom was filled with sharp blades that pointed upwards.
These sharp blades were all made by Zhu Mochen and were much harder than normal blades. Even ability users with tough bodies could be easily pierced through.
Furthermore, these sharp blades weren't a killing move. When they fell to the bottom of the pit, a stream of water flowed out from both sides. This stream of water was made from the corrosive liquid provided by the large flower, as well as some paralyzing poison.
As long as a person fell into the pit, they would definitely be injured by the sharp blades. Even if it only pierced their skin, it didn't matter because the most important thing wasn't the sharp blades, but the liquid that poured down.
As soon as the liquid touched their wounds, it would first numb their nerves and make them unable to move. They could only soak in the corrosive liquid until not even their bones were left.
Shao Qing brought over a pair of binoculars. She could clearly see that there were pitiful creatures, and quite a few of them had fallen down and turned into white bones in a matter of minutes. After another two minutes, not even their bones were left.
Some of the luckier ones managed to climb up by stepping on the corpses of their comrades, but there weren't many of them. Because the pit was too deep, they didn't have time to climb up before they were poisoned and fell back down.
A single trap had swallowed up nearly a hundred people.
Unfortunately, the same method could only be used once because the enemy weren't idiots. When they moved forward again, they would first check the ground to see if there were any traps before moving forward.
However, this was useless. The person in charge of checking the ground poked at it, but didn't find any danger. Then, they walked over and kicked a trap placed on the ground. A second later, a bright flame shot into the sky, overturning a pile of mangled corpses.
This was all thanks to Zhu Mochen. The traps he had placed on the ground were all made of metal and were hidden in the rocks. They were like landmines that would be triggered if someone stepped on them or accidentally touched them.
There were so many people who had come here, and even if one or two of them didn't touch the traps, one of them would definitely touch them. As long as one person touched the traps, it would be like setting off a large firecracker.
However, behind the bright light were human lives.
Shao Qing leaned on the city wall and couldn't help but sigh, "How pitiful …"
The few people beside him couldn't help but roll their eyes. No matter how miserable it was, wasn't it still your doing?
Before the enemy even got close to Jiang City, they had already lost a few hundred men. One couldn't blame them for being stupid. One could only say that the Jiang City people were too cunning. One couldn't imagine what kind of traps they had set up.
For example, the ones buried in the ground earlier could only be said to be the simplest ones. The further one went, the more bizarre they would become. There would always be one that could kill you.
After advancing for several hundred meters, hundreds of people had died. The 12 Bases Alliance couldn't help but feel terrified. They had no way to know how many traps there were ahead … what kind of traps there were … where the traps were … how to avoid triggering them …
It was all tears of blood.
Not to mention the cannon fodder at the front, even the higher-ups were a little hesitant. At this moment, Mister Qiu, who was wearing a cloak, snorted coldly and said, "You are already here. Are you still thinking of retreating? Send people out, three to five at a time. If you don't find any problems, the reinforcements will follow up. This way, even if there are problems, it won't affect too many people. In war, people will definitely die. Didn't you all prepare for this before coming here? "
One of the Base Chiefs gritted his teeth and said, "Mister Qiu is right! We have already come to this stage. Who can retreat? Isn't it just a few deaths? We have tens of thousands of people. Even if a few thousand die, we can still flatten Jiang City. Put the weaker ones at the front and let them test the traps. As long as there are no casualties among our experts, it will be fine. "
The others nodded in agreement. "That's right. It's good for a few of these trash to die. We can also reduce the consumption of rations. I agree. Let's do it this way!"
Birds of a feather flocked together. A group of beasts naturally hit it off.
