Dream Guide - #342 - Chapter 342 The Third Trap

Chichika fell to the ground with a loud sound. He tripped over a rope. This rope appeared very suddenly. There must not have been such a rope on the ground. It was when Chichika came over that the rope suddenly appeared, tripping him like a taut bowstring, and at the same time there was a rope loop wrapped around it. He grabbed his ankle and started dragging him forward after he fell to the ground.

It all happened so fast that before Chichika even had time to scream, she was already hanging from a tree.

His body hung upside down, his head about an arm’s length above the ground. When he stretched out his hand, his fingertips just reached the ground, but he couldn’t give his body any strength to support it, let alone reverse it.

At this time, Qiqika’s pig-like howling sounded.

Neither Qingmu nor Su Huilan moved. It’s not that they refused to save him, but that the situation at that time did not allow them to calmly rescue him.

Anyone who is familiar with jungle hunting knows that hunters usually do not set a single trap, but will set multiple traps in an area to increase the success rate of hunting. Sometimes these traps are set in series. When you escape one, the next one will be activated.

This is obviously not a place where large beasts roam. It is self-evident who this trap is designed to deal with. Aoki was sure that if he went to rescue her at this time, he would be ambushed by someone else before rescuing Chichika.

Chichika shouted loudly: “Help me! Help me quickly!”

His voice was hoarse and his eyes were pleading. Because he was hanging upside down, his head was congested with blood, his face was flushed, and his eyes were bulging.

“He was lucky, he was just hung up.” Su Huilan said.

Aoki feels the same way. There were at least six bear traps placed in the piles of fallen leaves and hidden grass around them. If one stepped on one of them, it was hard to say whether he could recover from his injuries on an island with limited medical conditions.

“Do you want to save someone?” he asked.

“Save, of course I have to save, I haven’t seen Petru yet.”

“All right.”

Aoki said and took two steps forward, carefully avoiding the traps on the ground. However, he did not walk towards Chichika, but walked to another tree not far away.

He picked up a dead branch and gently pushed aside the dense leaves, revealing three straight branches with sharpened heads, like three arrows, aimed at the hanging position of Qiqika.

These three arrows were set up on the tree by a very delicate bow-like device. The bowstring had been stretched, and a rope was connected behind it. The other end of the rope was connected to the rope hanging Qiqika on the tree here.

In other words, as long as someone helps Qiqika untie or cut off the rope, as soon as the rope is loosened, the three arrows on the other side will be shot out. In the unprepared situation, Qiqika is very different from the person who rescued him. Probability of being shot. Although this kind of wooden arrow is not fatal, injury is certain.

Therefore, in order to save Chichika, we must first unravel this trap that is not easy to be discovered.

Su Huilan had to admire Aoki’s observation skills, because this trap was very hidden, especially the relationship between the two traps. But just when Aoki was about to reach out and pull the rope behind to loosen the wooden arrows, she suddenly shouted:

“Wait a moment!”

Aoki was stunned, turned around and asked, “What’s the matter?”

Su Huilan said: “There will not only be two serial traps, there should be a third one.”

Aoki couldn’t understand why there must be three serial traps, but since Su Huilan said so, he stopped. At the moment he stopped, an inexplicable sense of danger suddenly hit him, causing his pupils and muscles to shrink, and his whole body to be in an extremely tense state.

Su Huilan felt something strange about him and asked, “What’s wrong with you?”

Aoki squinted at the pile of rocks on the hillside ahead and said, “The third trap is not here.”

Su Huilan followed his gaze and asked, “What is that?”

“Sniper.”

There was silence in the woods, and even the sound of falling leaves could be heard very clearly. Although Chichika couldn’t understand Chinese, she felt something and looked at them nervously.

Aoki carefully felt the feeling of every pore on his body standing up, and said to Su Huilan: “Take two steps back to the right and stick to the tree. That position is a blind spot for sniping.”

Su Huilan did not move, and said: “If I hide in his blind spot first, he will know that we have found him, and he might shoot you. Moreover, since he hasn’t fired yet, it means that he has not shot us. Be prepared to kill. As long as the sniper hesitates, we have a chance to escape danger. As long as you go behind the tree from your current position, he will not be able to hit you. At your speed, we can count three numbers at the same time. Let’s hide in a safe location together. Except him…”

Su Huilan glanced at Qiqika who was hanging up. Chichika couldn’t move and could be used as a target at any time. With his blood flowing backwards, he couldn’t hold on for long.

Aoki shook his head and said, “I know why he didn’t shoot.”

Su Huilan asked curiously: “Why?”

“You’re right, there is indeed a third trap, but it’s not the gun on the mountain.” Aoki narrowed his eyes and said, “It’s not that the sniper didn’t have the determination to kill us, but he regarded us as prey. He was there Hunting, he’s playing a game. He’s trying to drive us into the trap he’s set.”

“You mean…the third trap is behind the tree?”

“That’s right. The mechanism there is not within our field of vision, so no matter how careful we are, we can’t find it. Moreover, there is no intersection with us there, so we won’t pay attention to it. But it’s different now. A gun is pointed at me. , according to the instinctive choice, I will definitely hide behind the tree. There may be a ground net or a dug deep pit there. “

“But if he doesn’t shoot, how can we be sure that we can find him and hide behind the tree?”

“This is his brilliance. If we cannot find the second trap and go to rescue Qiqika, then we are low-level prey in his eyes. Low-level prey is not worth the hunter’s action. These three weapons The arrow was enough to kill us. But when we discovered the second trap and prepared to disarm it, we became interesting in the eyes of the hunter. So he took out his gun and tested our advanced level. If we can’t find the hunter at this time, but take the risk to disarm the trap on the tree, then he will probably shoot us without hesitation. Because we are still not advanced enough and worthy of his shot, but not worth his time. .”

Aoki ran his hands through his hair seemingly casually. The crow was driven away by his fingers and had no place to stand, so he had to jump into the nearby bushes.

“In his eyes, what is a truly high-level prey?” Su Huilan asked.

Aoki said: “Really advanced prey can not only avoid traps, but also detect the presence of the hunter, dodge the hunter’s gun, and even fight back against the hunter. Only by conquering such prey can a master gain true inner peace.” Satisfied. I have an intuition that this guy is extremely confident in himself, and he deliberately let me discover him. Moreover, his mental strength is not weak.”
