Chapter 5 Setting Traps

  Little Liuxing made Little Chun Tian sit there and not move, he took out the new dagger he had just bought and started setting up traps nearby. Rushing to escape, although the roads he chose could well conceal his escape route, he couldn't be certain that he hadn't left any traces along the way. As a city master, he must have skilled subordinates, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to sit stably in Tianjing City for many years. So he was sure that those pursuing soldiers would find him and Little Chun Tian, it's just that the time might be a bit later, Little Liuxing also hoped they would come, so he could fulfill the oath he had made at the moment he entered the forest: to avenge Little Chun Tian's parents. Blood debts can only be repaid with blood!

  Choosing this location to rest was a meticulous selection by Little Meteor. The area had many thorns, tall grass, and numerous rocks, with heavy humidity and relatively dark skies that could effectively conceal traps. Moreover, the soil here was softer, making it easier for him to dig traps. After carefully surveying the surrounding terrain, Little Meteor mentally calculated before starting to set up his traps. With the assistance of the Chaotic Air, he remained in top condition, allowing him to work much faster.

  Sitting on a rock, Little Spring watched as Meteor continued to dig holes, pick up rocks, pull thorns, and chop branches. Seeing the sweat dripping from his forehead, Little Spring knew that the pursuers would be coming soon, but she wasn't afraid at all. Meteor's determined gaze gave her great confidence. Little Spring felt that Meteor was really amazing, so amazing that he could climb tall trees in just a few seconds, and lift huge rocks with ease, leaving Little Spring staring in amazement. Little Spring continued to gnaw on her dried beef, this little girl wasn't afraid at all, although she was still so small, but she deeply believed in the little big brother in front of her, he would definitely be able to defeat the bad guys, that's what Little Spring thought. Meteor didn't know, his current performance had established a tall image in Little Spring's heart, making her full of confidence in him from then on.

  After spending a lot of time setting up many deadly traps, not to mention humans, even flying birds and beasts couldn't escape his traps. He roughly estimated that with fifty people, as long as the pursuers didn't exceed fifty men, he had absolute confidence in making them disappear without a trace!

  Accompanying Little Spring, they had a conversation for about twenty minutes. After years of training, his ears picked up some sounds. Lying on the ground with his ear to the earth, he quickly got results: 23 people, about 600-700 meters away. Holding a simple bow and arrow made from new branches and grass vines, he picked up Little Spring and started walking towards the outer perimeter of the trap. Later, he would control the enemy here, but Little Spring couldn't stay here; he couldn't be sure if something unexpected would happen, and he couldn't let Little Spring take risks.

  He quickly hid Xiaochun in a dense thicket about three hundred meters away from the trap, telling her not to be afraid and not to make a sound when the bad guys came. After instructing Xiaochun on these matters, he quickly climbed up a large tree and hid, this tree was also carefully selected by Xiaoliu Xingxing, haha~~~ because from here he could see Xiaochun (of course Xiaochun could also see him), he couldn't let Xiaochun get too far away from him, nor could he let her out of his sight. If something happened on her side, he could rush over in time. And letting Xiaochun see him, so she wouldn't be alone and feel scared.

  Only ten minutes had passed, earlier than Xiaoliuxing's estimate, a large group of pursuers appeared in Xiaoliuxing's line of sight. There were twenty-three people, just like he had heard. Among them, two people led the way at the front, searching around as they walked. It was obvious that these two were responsible for their arrival here. The other twenty-one people surrounded a man in his forties, who was wearing a silk long shirt with many slashes on it, and slowly moved towards Xiaoliuxing's direction. The man's face was filled with anger.

  From the small scars on his head and body, Xiaoliuxing knew that in their pursuit of their own path, they were not all smooth sailing. Not just him, but a total of 23 people, each with many scars on their bodies. After listening to their conversation, Xiaoliuxing realized that he was actually the Lord of Tianjing City. Perhaps because they knew they were going to catch two little brats, everyone was completely relaxed and not tense at all.

  Closer, closer, Little Meteor felt his heart beating faster as they approached. Ten meters, five meters, two meters, one meter, great, all of them fell into the trap, now it's time, Little Meteor quickly pulled down a vine beside him.

  All the traps were triggered at once. Eleven people fell into three large pits, and as they fell, huge boulders the size of several human heads dropped from above each pit, crushing them instantly, their final sound being a loud scream as they fell. Six others were suddenly propelled upwards from behind, impaled by sharpened tree branches that had been set up as a springboard, pierced through in an instant.

  The last six people were caught in a thorny vine net that fell from above, and following the net were many deadly stones. Six people, five of whom were divided into two nets, while the city master walked alone in the middle of the road, enjoying one by himself. The five people, like others, uttered their final words on earth with a loud cry. However, the city master did not die on the spot. Due to his constant state of indignation, he reacted much faster than others when the vine net suddenly fell. As soon as it came down, he jumped to the side, avoiding the deadly stones that fell from above. Although he escaped the fatal blow, the net was too big and fell too quickly, and his left foot was still crushed by a stone, causing him unbearable pain. Nevertheless, having experienced war before, he didn't make a sound.

  Hiding behind a large tree, the little meteor saw that the city master only tapped his left foot twice and completely stopped the bleeding. The little meteor knew that this city master was an internal family expert, because only people with internal strength could use the technique of tapping acupoints. The little meteor secretly sneered, thinking to himself: "You think you can escape death just by stopping the bleeding? That's underestimating me!" As expected, the city master who had stopped the bleeding thought he had only lost a foot, but after a while, he felt his lower limbs start to go numb and slowly lose sensation. At first, he thought it was due to excessive blood loss, but later he discovered that his left foot had turned purple, and the purple color spread quickly.

  At this moment, the city master finally realized that it was not only poison, but also a highly toxic one! The city master's heart couldn't help but tremble with fear, not expecting his opponent to be so powerful! Indeed, this was the highly toxic poison that Xiaoliu had applied to the thorny vine earlier. These poisons were taught to him by his grandfather, as an excellent hunter who spent his life crawling and climbing in the vast forest, it's inevitable to get bitten by poisonous animals or scratched by poisonous plants. To survive in this perilous forest, recognizing poison, detoxifying, including making poison are all essential skills, these are necessary means of survival.

  Xiao Liuxing had long been paying attention to learning these skills from his grandfather, and in preparation for unexpected situations, he specially made some portable ones. Now, today they came in handy, Xiao Liuxing couldn't help but feel secretly delighted. At this time, the city master was already in unbearable pain, the city master finally changed color, and with great difficulty sat up, exerting himself to press several major acupoints around his body. He was indeed a high-ranking internal martial artist, even more formidable than what grandfather had said!

  He had originally wanted to see Xiao Liuxing being poisoned to death, but seeing the city master stop the spread of the poison with just a few moves, his forehead also broke out in a dense layer of cold sweat. After all, Xiao Liuxing was still just a child of several years old and hadn't seen such a powerful expert before. However, Xiao Liuxing quickly regained his composure and took advantage of the city master's momentary rest to jump down from the branch with lightning speed and swiftly flash towards Xiao Chun Tian's hiding place.

  Although Xiao Liuxing had minimized the disturbance, the city master with deep internal power still discovered his trail. Unbeknownst to him, upon seeing this, the city master's sorrow and anger intensified. It turned out that the murderer who killed his only son was just an unremarkable mountain wild child, not only causing him to lose soldiers and generals but also being deeply poisoned himself.

  He completely refused to believe the reality in front of him, and at this moment, the city master had completely lost control. Anger filled his dark and terrifying face, he must let this child die, must die, immediately! Right now! The city master slowly stood up, with difficulty breaking off a branch as support. He didn't dare to use too much internal energy because his physical condition was not as optimistic as Xiaoliu Xing thought. That poison was a combination of various snake poisons and plant toxins created by Xiaoliu Xing. Even fierce beasts would die from just a little bit, and although the city master had sealed several acupoints and used internal energy to suppress it, the toxicity was too strong. He could only hold on for a short while, but not forever. At most two hours, his internal energy would be exhausted, and he would immediately die from poisoning. Dying also required some scapegoats - this was the city master's only thought now.

  Upon hearing the footsteps behind, Little Meteor turned around and found that the city master was closely chasing after him with a speed that wasn't slow at all. He was immediately startled in his heart and accelerated towards the bush where Little Spring was hiding. At this time, Little Spring had already run out of the bush, having seen everything that just happened. Seeing her brother running towards her, she quickly understood that they were going to escape. She stood up from the bush, nodded at Little Spring with approval, and without saying a word, Little Meteor picked up Little Spring and ran off, their speed not slowing down one bit.

  Two little kids, it seems they are the target that the captain mentioned, all of them must die! With a cruel smile, he sped up towards Little Starseed, to be honest, seeing one little kid carrying another little kid who was about 40-50 kilograms heavy and running so fast in the woods, it shocked him, but this couldn't reduce his murderous intention.

  Carrying Xiao Chun Tian, they ran for about half an hour. No matter how complex or difficult the route was, the city master always kept within 100 meters, and at the closest point, he was only more than 50 meters away from Xiao Liuxing. Xiao Liuxing, who was running desperately forward, didn't look back, his whole heart in a state of great tension. Otherwise, he would have been surprised to discover that the highly toxic poison that had originally been suppressed and stopped spreading through the city master's body had begun to spread slowly again. The speed wasn't as fast as before, but at that speed, within 20 minutes, the poison would reach his heart, and his life would end. In other words, Xiao Liuxing just needed to hold on for 20 minutes.

  But fate always likes to play jokes on people, the rapidly running little meteor suddenly stopped, not because he wanted to stop, but because he had no choice but to stop, because in front of him was a cliff, a desperate cliff. Was it really going to end here? The little meteor furrowed his brow, gritted his teeth, and his mind was racing quickly. No! I absolutely cannot die here, nor can I let Little Spring... The little meteor steadied himself, settled Little Spring in place, quickly pulled out a simple bow and arrow, focused his energy, took aim at the approaching City Master, hoping to kill him with one shot!
