Chapter 82: Trap Mechanism

“Traps! There are traps laid down, everyone be careful!” At this moment, Zhou Bi Rong could not be bothered about alerting York as she loudly shouting while rolling on the ground, her right hand immediately transforming as steel feathers covered it and three claws like that of an eagle extended forth, grabbing a tree branch by the side as she pulled and used the rebound to fly forward.

“Shooo, Shooo”

Several sharpened wooden spikes shot out from the ground and nearly pierced Zhou Bi Rong.

Su Yu and the others who were concealing themselves and silently approaching the cave did not expect that there would actually be trap mechanisms hidden within the wild grass, although the traps were simple, they were unguarded against it and had suffered. Zhao Shi Chang had suffered the worst, his foot was pierced by a sharpened wooden spike and he was rolling on the ground, howling in pain.

Su Yu had just been sent flying by a wooden log and was dizzy as he hurriedly rolled to the side, he wanted to climb back up but Zhou Bi Rong who was by the side saw this and shouted: “Su Yu, don’t! Danger!”

Her words were barely spoken when Su Yu heard a ‘Kaboom!’, the floor underneath him had suddenly collapsed.

Everything happened too quickly and Su Yu was shocked as he groaned, black scales appeared on his left arm as he heavily punched to the side, his left hand easily entered the dirt allowing him to stabilise his falling body. Looking down, he realised that someone had dug a two to three metre deep hole which was filled with sharpened wooden stakes, if he had fallen down, he would surely have been pierced to the extent of looking like a bee hive.

No one could have imagined that this area would have so many traps. What was most frightening was that as the group were suffering from the traps, not far away at the cave ahead, a boulder was shifted as the well-built York appeared.

As a tier three dark iron warrior, his recuperative abilities were astounding and only a night had passed but the injuries on his body were almost fully recovered. Looking at the group, he did not say a word as he rushed forward.

“Su Yu, York is right there!” At the back, Zhang Zhong Mou shouted, within the group, only Su Yu could deal with York.

Su Yu was relying on a single arm to hang by the dirt wall when he suddenly heard Zhang Zhong Mou yelling, gritting his teeth, his right hand shot forward and grabbed onto the dirt wall. It was fortunate that although his right hand had not transformed, due to the strange energy circulating in his body, his strength was already three to four times stronger than it originally was. Ignoring the pain as his nails bit into the wall, he pulled out his left hand as he activated the ‘Rending Storm’ and heavily smashed in downwards.

“CRASH”

An explosive sound rang out as the dirt wall collapsed, Su Yu used this to propel himself upwards.

York appeared and wordlessly transformed, his right arm and chest swelled as steel thorns covered it, looking like a hedgehog.

He had set up these simple yet functionals traps outside the temporary cave dwelling primarily to guard against wild beasts and other monsters. Who knew that it would be useful against Su Yu and the others, looking at their sorry figures, York did not flee but rather rushed forward.

Zhou Bi Rong had been a policewoman for a few years and could be considered to have plenty of experience. Borrowing the force from pulling a branch, she retreated swiftly out of the trap area and her right hand transformed into a giant eagle claw, looking at York as he rushed over, her right hand swiftly returned to normal as she swiftly retrieved the pistol at her waist and aimed at York.

Luckily she did not lose her pistol and it was currently fully loaded with bullets.
