Chapter 250

“It’s a trap! Everyone get back!”

One of the Corrupt core disciples bellowed in shock, about to fall back .

But before he could, the ground beneath him sunk in, and countless arrows shot out of the ground . Whenever someone was struck by one of these arrows, their body would immediately explode apart .

Those arrows were Guo Ran’s original inventions . They used Yin and Yang sulfur stones to cause explosions . But these new arrows were not the same as the old explosive arrows .

Long Chen had added some extra ‘spicing’ to those arrows . That spicing was the poison from the Silver Centipede he had obtained in his exile .

The Silver Centipede’s poison was something that even a mid third rank Magical Beast would be unable to survive .

Back then, Long Chen had turned the poison to powder . He had then sealed it into little wax b.a.l.l.s . Due to how large the poison sacs had been, he had created thousands of those little wax b.a.l.l.s .

He had been thinking of using that powder to refine poison pills later .

But now they had a better use . Long Chen had arranged for everyone to set up a bunch of traps .

Due to how narrow this mountain valley was, the path was only forty meters wide . So that was the optimal place to set a trap .

Long Chen had an indescribable attraction to making traps . It was just too fun to con people like this . Winning a physical battle was also enjoyable, but winning a battle of wits might be even more fun .

If you can play them to death, don’t bother beating them to death . That was the principle that Long Chen had told everyone . He had arranged for hundreds of explosive arrows to be set up underground .

In any case, Guo Ran had tens of thousands of arrows as well as countless Yin and Yang stones . In a quarter hour, he could make over a hundred more explosive arrows .

Long Chen had taken out dozens of his poisonous b.a.l.l.s and placed them on the arrowheads of some of the explosive arrows . As soon as those explosive arrows were triggered, they would explode, breaking apart that poisonous ball .

Guo Ran’s explosive arrows didn’t actually possess that much power . But once those poison b.a.l.l.s had been added, their power was absolutely terrifying .

When that poison ball exploded, the poison powder would immediately spread three hundred meters . If an idiot disciple were to directly breathe it in, they would immediately become light-headed, fall unconscious, and then die .

As for the smarter fellows, they actually had it worse off than the fools . The idiot disciples who directly breathed it in would at least die comfortably without feeling any pain .

But the smarter elites would immediately stop breathing as soon as they sensed the poison . Unfortunately for them, they underestimated the toxicity of the Silver Centipede’s poison .

That poison powder would act like acid when it touched their skin . Their skin would begin to corrode, and it would also be incomparably itchy, making it so people were unable to resist scratching .

Just itchiness on the skin wasn’t any problem . However, this itchiness didn’t just stop there . Their insides, their hearts, and even their souls became itchy .

That kind of itchiness was completely irresistible . With just a couple scratches, they tore off their own skin, but that still didn’t resolve that itchiness . Some disciples even chopped off the parts of their bodies that were itchy .

Furthermore, Long Chen hadn’t just set up a single trap . On the two mountainsides, dozens of straw covers were lifted, revealing crossbows that mercilessly rained down arrows on those panicked Corrupt disciples .

“b.a.s.t.a.r.ds from the Corrupt path, have a taste of how amazing I, Guo Ran, am!” Guo Ran’s huge crossbow was pointed right at them, crazily shooting out and cutting off any path of retreat .

Flesh and blood splattered throughout and explosions echoed throughout the sky . A faint poisonous mist had completed covered the mountain valley .

Long Chen had long since given all the monastery’s disciples special pills that allowed them to completely ignore the Silver Centipede’s poison mist .

But as for those Corrupt disciples, even the core disciples were unable to block it . They also consumed ant.i.toxin pills, but they were horrified to find that their ant.i.toxin pills were unable to suppress the poison .

They all tried to run back, but more monastery disciples appeared behind them, raining down explosive arrows on them .

The most terrifying one of them would have to be Guo Ran . He quickly shot out hundreds of explosive arrows with his crossbow . When the crossbow’s ammo ran out, he directly took out a new fully-loaded crossbow .

Guo Ran was incredibly excited . In all his life, he had never been as excited as he was today .

He shot out explosive arrows without caring about the cost . His rain of arrows completely cut off any path of retreat .

“The rear’s cut off! Charge forward!”

No one knew who specifically shouted this . But seeing that there was no way for them to retreat, they once more began to charge forward ferociously .

But with the poisonous mist everywhere, they weren’t able to see their surroundings . After just moving forward thirty meters, the ground beneath them sank .

Miserable screams rang out, but those screams were extremely m.u.f.fled because they came from over a hundred meters below .

That huge hole was over one hundred and fifty meters deep . That kind of depth was unable to kill these cultivators just by falling .

However, Long Chen wasn’t looking to make them die from falling . All he needed was to trap them for a couple minutes . With the Silver Centipede’s poison, they would lose all their combat ability .

Anguished cries and wails echoed throughout the battlefield . None of them could clearly see the situation . But the sound of the explosive arrows behind them overpowered the screaming from ahead, and the Corrupt disciples continued charging .

And the result was that as they went all-out charging forward, they all ended up falling into a deep hole .
