Chapter 253: Impending Crisis
Captain Three's mood was like a roller coaster, with both joy that his opponent was so cunning and difficult to deal with.
He was also a little annoyed by the difficult situation at this time.
How many years had he never encountered such a slippery opponent.
The signal of the mark was not absent in his martial soul's perception, but everywhere.
Whenever he thought he had found the traces of those students, he often found a piece of cloth nailed to a tree trunk or in the soil, which was very unusual.
'How could anyone know my method? There are only a handful of people who know this method on the current continent. How could it be such a coincidence that it is among these students. '
The distribution of the smell was far and near, but the concentration of those smells made it impossible for him to judge the general direction.
Tang San's handling method was actually very good, but he missed a very critical problem.
In another world before, his fellow apprentices only dealt with moths, which were creatures without intelligence.
At this moment, he was facing a human with his own analytical and judgment abilities.
After the third captain chased three or four points like a headless fly, he finally realized how he was fooled.
He emptied his mind and threw away all distracting thoughts, closed his eyes and carefully sensed the direction of all the smell distribution.
In his mind, a huge space with himself as the center and a radius of 10 miles was formed.
Each smell punctuation point appeared in his mind one by one like candles in the night sky.
Those light spots were high and low, left and right, and scattered in between formed a vague trace towards the north.
"Ha, I found you, cunning little kid."
The third captain unfolded his martial spirit, and wings with gorgeous patterns appeared behind him.
His figure was like a hunting bat gliding quickly under the night sky.
The distance of three or four miles seemed to be within reach in an instant.
The pleasure of hunting was wantonly jubilant in his mind.
If it was just a normal treatment of these students, for the third captain who had done countless wet jobs, it would just be another job completed.
But at this moment, he was enjoying an exciting experience he had never had before. This kind of puzzle-solving and confrontation was too rare for the three captains.
When he arrived at the final destination, what came into view was a stream with clear water rushing.
A faint smell went west along the stream.
The three captains only needed to judge the direction of the stream, which was the downstream Soto City.
How reasonable, they dived into the stream and went downstream, using the power of the stream to bring them to Soto City.
'Those little guys thought that what they had done was to protect their safety, huh, too naive. '
The three captains exerted force under their feet and flapped their wings, and the faint scale powder left a few flickering traces in the night sky.
When he chased down the stream for a mile, he suddenly noticed something wrong.
The smell did not gradually increase as he followed, but became fainter.
He could not help but stop and once again sank his mind into the space in his heart that he had built.
The furry tentacles constructed by the martial spirit kept bouncing on his forehead, collecting bits and pieces of information.
‘No, not at all. This even and easily dispersible smell is definitely not what people leave behind after passing by. Instead, it seems that the airflow brought by the stream has blown away the originally very strong marking smell. ’
At this time, his tentacles received another very weak signal that seemed to be near the limit distance
The third captain carefully identified the location where the signal appeared nearly ten miles south of them.
There is no doubt that these are the junior students who have lost the cover of herbs and finally exposed their position.
‘Well, well, I actually encountered such an interesting thing. They played with me for so long, and their purpose was to lead me away. Well, great, I can’t wait to taste the joy that this prey can bring me. ’
The third captain, who stopped here for a while, finally waited for the two team members behind him who were exhausted and panting to catch up with his speed.
"You two, explore the forest street in the south, be careful. I guess the people fleeing there are not so aware of anti-reconnaissance."
"But what about you, Captain? Aren't you with us?"
The team members showed doubtful expressions.
"I'll have a good time with these cunning little guys. I don't think you can handle this kind of cunning little guys."
The third captain turned and looked to the northeast, which was the direction of the stream upstream.
Without the help of scent tracking, he could only search carefully based on the clues left by these prey.
Fortunately for the third captain, even though Tang San and Dai Mubai were agile and flexible, they covered up most of the traces.
There were still all kinds of obvious and exaggerated traces left by the fat man Ma Hongjun.
The sunken stone nests in the stream and the water plants that changed their direction all showed the direction they were heading.
'This is interesting, don't let me down too much. ’
With high spirits, the three captains continued to move towards the battlefield set by Tang San.
On the other side, Tang San was setting up the traps he was proud of.
For powerful enemies like Soul Saints, the only way now was to use traps and other means to accumulate more than ten tons of gravitational potential energy to attack them.
Whether it is the rolling rocks or the huge wooden stakes swinging from a distance, they can easily bend the tough steel.
Tang San had this idea, and he was setting up his chain traps wholeheartedly at this time.
Ma Hongjun's eyes were full of strange colors at this time.
'I didn't expect that Xiao San's heart was such a dark guy, this trap is too vicious. '
The fat man thought while pulling the tough vines. The huge wooden stake was fixed 10 meters above the ground with the efforts of several people.
The diameter of the wooden stake reached an exaggerated two meters, and the charred cross-section was the mark caused by the Phoenix Fire Line cutting.
As long as the mechanism is triggered, the wooden stake will bring a lot of kinetic energy to hit the invading enemy hard.
Other traps include but are not limited to tripwires, net bags, sharp blades, lime, etc.
Strive to output all combos within two seconds after they trigger the trap.
Unlike Tang San's confidence, Dai Mubai was a little worried at this time.
"Xiao San, although I have to admit that the design of your traps is very ingenious, and the linkage between them is also very 'ingenious', but are you sure that these can really cause any harm to a Soul Saint?"
He said earnestly.
"That's a Soul Saint!"
The serious tone made the fat man on the side look sideways.
"I know you are from the Holy Soul Village. A Soul Saint deserves the village to be proud of him!"
Seeing Tang San's expression finally taking it seriously, Dai Mubai struck while the iron was hot.
"You have to know that he is a strong man who can leave his name in history and is worthy of commemoration by everyone. Will such a strong man really die here because of this little trap? If so, history would not have been written by these strong men long ago."
Dai Mubai's worry is not unreasonable.
In fact, these attacks, although they can cause certain damage to Soul Saints who are not possessed by martial spirits, only weaken his combat power.
Soul Saints are far superior to ordinary soul masters in terms of life level. Under the influence of such injuries, they can still slaughter those soul masters who are three or four realms lower than them like slaughtering chickens and ducks.
But no matter what, even if Dai Mubai succeeds in persuading them, it is too late.
Because the three captains are already on their way to kill.
This incident will teach Tang San a profound lesson. The reason why the strong are strong must have his reasons, and the strong need to be respected.
Maybe the young man from the sect in the past, Tang San, knew this deeply in his heart.
But at this time, he was overwhelmed by various inexplicable emotions and subconsciously ignored this survival creed that should be engraved in his bones.
