In the jungle, Yinghou looked at the footprints on the ground, his face was gloomy and terrible, because he found that Long Chen was very cunning, and sometimes deliberately left footprints to mislead him.
Because of walking, Long Chen's footprints disappeared, and after a little thought, Long Chen walked for a while, and then walked back backwards according to the original footprints, and then escaped to another place.
It's just that the footprints of the first walk are slightly clearer, which was deliberately shown to Yinghou, so that Yinghou spends more time searching.
And Yinghoukong has a stomach full of fire, and Long Chen is too cunning, because Long Chen sometimes goes in the direction where he deliberately left footprints.
Under the circumstances, Yinghou had to follow honestly, and he felt that Long Chen was not far from him, but he couldn't find it, and his lungs would explode.
Now that a day and a night have passed, Yinghou gradually became impatient, but he had no choice but to continue to search according to the footprints.
The two of them started hide-and-seek in this boundless forest. Although Long Chen had a certain advantage, Long Chen did not dare to be careless.
As long as Long Chen wants to, he can quickly get rid of Yinghou's tracking, but he can't do that, he always keeps a distance of more than ten miles from Yinghou.
This distance is just enough to make a Yi Jin realm feel hostile, but it is impossible to determine his position. This is Long Chen's intention.
Now that he killed Xia Changfeng and the fourth prince sent Yinghou to kill him, it means that the fourth prince no longer cares about his father so much.
Now the entire Long family is in danger. At this moment, Marquis Ying is being held back by himself. On the one hand, it is to buy time for Ah Man and let him return to the imperial capital as soon as possible.
When Long Chen appeared in Yinghou, he quietly explained to Aman that no matter who escaped, he would return to the imperial capital first.
Sending his family to the Alchemist Guild, because of his relationship with Master Yun Qi, Master Yun Qi would never ignore it. At that time, even if the fourth prince wanted to move the Long family, he would have to consider it.
The other is that as long as Yinghou does not return to the imperial capital for a day, and the fourth prince does not get the news of his own death, it is unlikely that he will attack the Long family.
So now Long Chen is taking a great risk to hold Yinghou, there is no way to do it, he has to do it.
Walking forward cautiously, Long Chen suddenly saw a beetle the size of a slap on a big tree, crawling slowly.
Seeing the beetle, Long Chen's eyes lit up, and he recognized that the beetle was called "Unicorn Cow" because it had a horn on its nose, which was very similar to the horn of a cow.
This is a very mild-mannered beetle, especially slow, but it is only the size of a palm, but its strength is amazing.
Such a beetle can drag a weight of twenty to thirty pounds. It is because of its amazing strength that people put the word "bull" in its name.
Reaching out and holding the palm-sized one-horned cow in his hand, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said softly, "Hey, little guy, do me a favor."
Regardless of its anger, he threw the little guy into his pocket and walked forward. Long Chen nodded, this is a good place.
Take out a filament from the space ring. It is black silk. Although it is thin, it is very strong. One can lift a hundred kilograms of heavy objects. Most adventurers will carry some on their bodies.
Whether it is making ropes or arranging traps, it is very ideal. The most important thing is that black silkworms are artificially farmed and the price is very cheap.
Long Chen took out the black silk, looked around, nodded with satisfaction, the color of the silk matched the surrounding background, and it was not easy to be found.
I found a dwarf tree with the thickness of an egg, pushed it slightly, and felt amazing elasticity, and gently wrapped the silk around the dwarf tree.
When the dwarf tree is pulled by the silk, it immediately bends like a bow arm. Once it loses the power of the silk, it will pop out rapidly.
When Long Chen did this, he was very careful. If he made a mistake, he might make a loud noise and attract Yinghou.
But think about if this trap is laid out, once the effect is triggered, all these risks are worth it.
After setting the "Slingshot", Long Chen observed the surrounding situation. There were dense thorns on both sides, and there was only one natural and loose path.
When people run wild, they instinctively choose the path of least resistance, so this is an ideal place to place a trigger.
After laying out a few lines of defense on the ground, I checked the distance. No matter what the opponent's pace was, he would definitely step on one before he was relieved.
He stretched out his hand to take out the beetle, tied one of its legs with black silk, and placed it on a big tree. The one-horned ox began to slowly crawl toward it, but it did not crawl randomly, but to a place about three feet above the tree. crawl.
Because where, Long Chen placed the petals of a butterfly orchid, which is a kind of medicinal material, and its petals contain very rich sugar.
And what the unicorn likes most is to eat the petals. Although the petal in Long Chen's hand has dried up, the unicorn, with its amazing sense of smell, found it in an instant and crawled forward desperately.
The speed of the one-horned ox was too slow, it took a stick of incense and it just climbed to the ground.
But when the unicorn wanted to enjoy the food, Long Chen shook his hand, and the poor little guy was immediately pulled off.
Long Chen estimated the time, and re-tied a knot to the unicorn. This knot was a slip knot, and there was a small ring next to the knot. Once the small ring was touched, it would be released immediately, so that the little guy would be freed. .
After carefully tying the knot, he tied a stone weighing five or six catties to the other end of the silk, checked it several times, and looked at the unicorn's crawling route.
Make sure that when the unicorn crawls to the butterfly orchid petals, the slipknot will scrape the dead branches that protrude on one side, untie the knot, and let the stone fall to the ground.
After Long Chen checked the trap from beginning to end, a strange smile appeared on his face, he found a leaf like a fan around, and then sneakily hid behind the big tree.
After a period of time, Long Chen put the beetle on the tree again, and saw that the beetle was still crawling along the original route, but the speed was slightly slower because it was dragging a stone.
Nodding his head, Long Chen quietly retreated. Now everything is ready, only the east wind is needed. As for whether it can be successful or not, it depends on Yinghou.
Half an hour later, Marquis Ying carefully searched for the trace of Long Chen, and suddenly a strange sound came, it was the sound of the stone rolling down.
Originally the sound was very subtle, but in the ears of Yinghou, who was listening intently to the movements around him, it was like a thunderclap.
"whoosh"
Marquis Ying didn't even think about it, he galloped away in that direction, the speed was as fast as a gust of wind, and the distance of seven or eight miles came in an instant.
That sound was definitely not the sound that nature should have. He knew that it should be the sound of accidentally stepping on a stone.
In this dead forest, apart from him, only Long Chen would make such a sound.
Thinking of Long Chen Yinghou felt a burst of anger. Last night, he basically didn't rest all night, and he didn't even have time to recover his luck.
The group of damned beasts, like crazy, moved towards him. Although those beasts could not pose a threat to him, they disturbed his healing.
His injury could not be healed by medicinal pills alone, and he had to cooperate with spiritual energy to heal the injury, but he had never had the time nor the opportunity to do it.
Unable to maintain peak combat power, this made Yinghou very insecure, so he urgently needed to kill Long Chen and return to the imperial capital for healing.
In just a few breaths, Yinghou came to the place where the voice was located, but there was no Long Chen here. Under a big tree, there was a falling stone, and there seemed to be some writing on the stone.
Yinghou glanced around and found that there was no figure of Long Chen around. He couldn't help but look a little ugly. He knew that he might have been tricked.
Walking slowly towards the stone, he wanted to see what Long Chen's message was to himself. He just took a few steps, and suddenly his feet moved, and then a short tree not far away shook, and a green ball wrapped in leaves turned towards him. He flew.
Marquis Ying sneered all his life, swung out the long sword in his hand, and slashed directly at the group of things.
"Hmph, little worms..."
"puff"
What he didn't expect was that when his long sword touched the mass, the mass wrapped in green leaves suddenly burst open, and the juice flew out from the sky.
Because the incident happened suddenly and the distance was so close, Marquis Ying was splashed by the juice, and an incomparably smelly smell spread out.
Marquis Ying also spattered a lot in his mouth, and suddenly there was an extremely foul stench in his mouth. Marquis Ying couldn't help being shocked and hurried back. His first reaction was that this thing might be poisonous.
However, although the thing was extremely stinky, he did not show any signs of poisoning, and his qi and blood were running normally.
At this time, after he found out that he had been hit by the trap, the stone that had fallen on the ground turned his body upside down, revealing the writing on it:
"A small gift is not a tribute. I wanted to give you a big one, but my stomach is not feeling well recently, and I really have enough energy to spare. Lord Yinghou, please forgive me."
After reading the handwriting, Marquis Ying suddenly turned pale, looking at the sticky things on his body, his stomach turned upside down for a while.
"vomit..."
"Long Chen..."
Marquis Ying let out a heart-piercing roar, the sound almost pierced through clouds and cracks, the whole forest was shaking, and countless birds and beasts were frightened and fled everywhere.
Long Chen was on a big tree, looking at the birds in the distance, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and the embarrassment of being chased by Yinghou was finally relieved.
Since this day, Yinghou's face has become more gloomy, and Long Chen has become more careful, not daring to set up such a trap again.
After all, if he fails in the layout process, he will be doomed. His previous actions were just to cheer him up and increase his confidence.
Now that everything has been done, it is time for him to stop. Only by being careful can he make the Wannian Ship. He doesn't want the favorable situation he created to be reversed all of a sudden.
After chasing and fleeing, eight days soon passed. During these eight days, Long Chen escaped during the day, and after using various techniques to get rid of the entanglement of the beast at night, he began to heal.
Because of the help of Healing Pill, Long Chen recovered very quickly, the meridian in his right hand has completely recovered, and the injuries in his body have also recovered.
Ever since Yinghou killed the beast on the first day and caused trouble for himself, he also began to learn to be smart. When resting at night, he jumped to a tall tree and stayed away from the ground to allow himself time to rest and start healing. Recovery is also very fast.
Until the ninth day, when Long Chen crossed a small stream and entered a dense forest in front of him, there was a sudden change on the top of his head.
When Long Chen looked up, his face changed greatly: My life is over! (To be continued)
