Chapter 1200 Counter-Trap
The mirror reminded him, "This thing can reveal all kinds of invisibility. Be careful, if you show up here, everyone will shout and beat you."
Jucheng used this method to prevent foreign enemies from sneaking in because the shadow lamps consume less energy than other means. But they have to form such a wide visible belt, and the overall cost of the Pisha people is still inevitable.
They also specially arranged the lamp array on the inside of the city wall, just because they didn't want the enemy to find it in advance, so as to catch the turtle in the jar.
Just looking at this arrangement, you can know that there are traps inside and outside the city, and the Pisha people are waiting for the other side to rob the death row prisoners.
The mirror asked the owner: "How are you going to wade through? Do you want to retreat outside the city and activate the snail toad?"
The visible belt formed by the shadow lamps, from the city wall to the inner open space, is more than 15 feet wide (nearly 50 meters). Even if He Lingchuan jumps, he can't jump that far.
If he summoned a jumping spider with the blood of the spider queen, he could jump over it with full strength, but the skin of Boshan Jun was only a small area, and he had changed it into a full-cover coat, which could not cover a whole jumping spider, so he might be discovered by the guards.
If too many enemies were alarmed, the follow-up actions would be troublesome.
He Lingchuan shook his head.
If the snail toad appeared in the city, it was necessary to check the direction in advance, otherwise its size would easily alarm others.
He looked around, tiptoed past the guards on the city wall, and walked all the way to the city gate tower.
The city wall was not high, but the city gate tower of Jucheng was very tall. I don’t know which year and which person built it, and it has a layout that doesn’t match this small city.
He jumped to the top of the city gate tower in a few steps and looked down at the city below.
There was a breeze blowing, blowing his sleeves lightly.
He Lingchuan closed his eyes slightly, secretly feeling the wind direction and wind force.
He had done this before, jumping into the eye of the Xushan formation, and now he was very familiar with it.
The next breeze came, and he suddenly jumped with the wind -
If someone saw it, they would probably think that he had a spring under his feet, and this jump was high and far, and his posture was particularly stretched.
When he reached the highest point, he even stayed in the air slightly, and then his limbs stretched out in a big shape, and his thin wings were pulled open under his ribs.
With a light sound, his descent changed to gliding.
This flying wing suit was a stolen equipment from Fu Shanyue. He Lingchuan had used it many times on various occasions and was extremely skilled. At this time, as long as he slightly adjusted the angle, he could glide fast and far.
The distance of thirty feet flashed by, and he passed over the developing lamp array and landed smoothly.
It was quiet behind, and no one noticed that he had illegally sneaked in.
"Done, next step."
After successfully entering the city, he had to find the prison.
This was not difficult. He Lingchuan had just sneaked into the city when he heard the sound of the night watchman.
It was already four o'clock in the morning.
He followed the sound, dragged the night watchman into the dark alley to find out the location of the prison, and then sent him to sleep with a knife.
County prisons are usually near government offices, and Jucheng is no exception.
The prison is opposite the back door of the government office. It was pitch black in the middle of the night, and only an oil lamp was lit in the gatehouse. This is actually a whole row of low bungalows, but the main body is sunken underground, and the cells only have small skylights.
Prisoners want to escape from prison and outsiders want to rescue, but they can't knock on the window to escape.
However, before He Lingchuan approached, the soul-catching mirror reminded him:
"Be careful, there are at least three or four formations nearby, and I don't know how many people are hiding."
He Lingchuan stopped, maybe there were people ambushing in the government office opposite.
The mirror said again: "Be careful, there seems to be someone ambushing and scouting on the roof opposite."
To use the latest saying, it seems to detect the breath of living people!
There is indeed a trap. He Lingchuan frowned. Bixia used Situ He as bait to catch more enemies.
It seems that it is hard to say whether Situ He himself is imprisoned in the county jail.
Mirror asked him: "What do you want to do?"
First, we have to determine the location of the target to be rescued, right?
"Find an insider first."
They are uninvited guests who sneaked into Jucheng. What insider can they recognize? However, Mirror held back his complaints. Since the master said so, there must be a way.
Sneaking into the prison at this time is jumping into a trap; if you go to the government office to find the county magistrate, you will definitely alert the snake.
Hmm... Is there anyone who knows the whereabouts of the death row prisoner and is not lying in ambush in the prison at this moment?
Even if there is, how can the master find him in the middle of the night?
It waited and saw.
"If Situ sends someone over, it is easy to be ambushed." He Lingchuan thought for a while and retreated quietly, "It's a good opportunity to leave them a warning."
He scouted the surrounding terrain, left the eyeball spider behind the small door of the government office, and climbed to the highest tower and roof nearby.
Jingzi was right. There were also people ambushing on the tower, and three crossbowmen were lurking on the roof!
It was difficult for people who moved around the government office and the prison to avoid their eyes and ears.
The Bisha people were very thoughtful, looking down from a high place.
There was no higher ground nearby, so He Lingchuan could only sneak up a tree and attack the three on the roof.
The three people were in different directions, separated and able to watch each other.
He Lingchuan climbed up the roof like a cat, his footsteps so light that even the thin tiles didn't make a sound.
He was wearing the skin of Boshan Jun, and first sneaked behind one person, holding his neck and twisting it gently.
Crack, like a stone falling on the road.
He Lingchuan was very skilled and knew how to twist the neck to make the least noise.
Only the crossbowmen on the roof heard this sound.
The other two turned around and were shocked. Just as they were about to call out, He Lingchuan's clone jumped up from behind and stabbed them in the throat!
A shadow also passed through the air, and with a "swoosh", the third crossbowman was pierced through the heart.
The bat demon puppet started.
The unlucky guy died instantly, and his body shook twice, and he was about to roll down.
He Lingchuan jumped over and picked him up, gently putting him on the roof.
All the crossbowmen in the three directions were taken down, and no warning was issued. Besides, they were half-lying, and their current posture was similar to before.
Then, He Lingchuan began to set up the mechanism.
When hunting demons on the Chiba Plateau, the patrol guards played this hand very smoothly.
In short, he fully clamped several hard crossbows and pulled the bowstring to the full, facing the prison, and then carefully connected the mechanism to a sandbag.
This sandbag was heavy and very heavy.
He Lingchuan stabbed the sandbag twice, and quietly left the tower under the cover of night.
He silently counted in his heart.
When the count reached fifty-seven, several arrows hit the wooden door of the prison or went straight in through the window, causing a cry of surprise.
The sand in the sandbags leaked out, unable to hold down the mechanism, and the arrows shot out.
The special arrowheads were coated with phosphorus powder, which would spontaneously ignite when rubbing against the air during flight. When they hit an object, the oil or gunpowder capsules would explode immediately, like flowers scattered by a fairy, and it was difficult to extinguish.
These sets of explosive mother-and-child arrows were designed by Songyang Prefecture. They were not very powerful when the two armies were fighting, but they were perfect for harassment and assassination.
