Chapter 79 Sending a Lu Hou was looking down at Long Chen’s tracksHis expression was so dark that it was frighteningThat was because he had realized Long Chen was extremely craftySometimes he would purposely leave footprints to mislead him
He would follow those footprints and find that any trace of Long Chen completely disappeared after a whileAfter just aChen must have backtracked into a previous location and once more fled in a different direction
These footprints were purposely a bitHou see the for where Long Chen had split off into a different direction
Ying Hou had a sto Chen was too cunningSometimes the footprints he left behind intentionally would actually be the direction he went, so Ying Hou couldn’t even rule that out
In order to tell his true direction, Ying Hou had no choice but to patiently follow along slowlyHe could sense Long Chen wasn’t that far, but he was unable to find his felt like they were about to explode
A whole day had already passed since they had entered the forestYing Hou was starting to get impatientBut he also had no way around thisHe could only continue searching for his tracks
In just thishide-and-seek in the endless forestAlthough Long Chen had a slight advantage at this tihtest bit overconfident
If Long Chen wanted to, he was actually able to quickly break away fro Hou’s searchHowever, he refused to do thatHe only continued to keep Ying Hou at a distance of five miles
That was the perfect distance from which a Muscle Rebirth expert could sense an enemy was in the vicinity, but would be unable to pinpoint that ene Chen
After sending Long Chen to kill Xia Changfeng, the fourth prince had sent Ying Hou to kill hier worried about his father
In other words, the entire Long household was in dangerHe had to continue this in order to stall Ying HouOne reason for this stalling was that as long as Aman did what he had told him, he would quickly return to the capital
AuildWith his relationshi+p to grandnore themAt that time, even the fourth prince would have to reconsider whether he should ainst the Hou continued not to return to the capital, the fourth prince who hadn’t received a report of his death would definitely not attack the Long household
That hy Long Chen continued to risk his life to hold up Ying HouIt was also why he had no other optionsHe had to do this
He carefully continued advancingLong Chen suddenly saw a huge tree with a fist-sized beetle on it
Seeing that beetle, Long Chen’s eyes brightenedHe recognized that beetle as the ‘horned bull beetle’That was because it had a horn on its nose that was just like a bull’s horn
This was a very mildly tempered beetleIts movements were especially slowBut it shouldn’t be underestireatly shocking
Just such a srauy, helpChen picked up the little beetle and placed it into his robesOnce ood location and stopped
He took out a thin thread froThat was black silk, and despite its thinness, it was extremely sturdyJust one thread of it could withstand half a ton of forceMost adventurers would also keep a bit of it on hand
Whether it was to use as rope or to make a snare, it was extremely convenientMost importantly, it was made from black silkworms that were raised by hu Chen looked around and nodded in approvalThe black silk’s color was not easy to notice against the background
He found a tree brush around the size of an egg and gently pushed on it, feeling a good elasticityHe lightly twined the black silk around the bush
By tying it back with the black silk, the bush was just like an arm ready to pitchOnce it lost the force of the black silk, it would i Chen did all this extree enough noise to attract Ying Hou
But thinking about the result of this trap if it worked, that little danger was definitely worth it
He finished setting up his ‘slingshot’Looking around, both sides were covered by thorny thistles and there was only one straight path through this area
While people were rushi+ng they would naturally choose the easiest pathSo this was the ideal place to place the trigger
Putting up a couple obstacles around his ‘slingshot’ to protect it, he confir Hou arrived, he would definitely step upon a certain root
He took out the horned beetle and bound one of its legs with the black silkPlacing it on top a large tree, the beetle began to slowly crawl, but it wasn’t rando up to a spot tenChen had placed a petal from a butterfly Orchid thereThat was a kind of redientThat petal contained a very rich sweetness
It was also the favorite food of the horned bull beetleAlthough that petal was half withered, with the beetle’s aan to crawl over to it with all its hIn only ed to reach there after the time it took for an incense stick to burn
But just as it was preparing to eat its favorite food, Long Chen picked up the pitiful fellow and pulled it away
Long Chen made so it in placeThat knot had a small loop in itIf that loop was touched then the knot would i it
After carefully setting up all these preparations, he placed a small stone on the other side of the black silkHe confir was set
