Chapter 987: Death is the Theme of Wars!

The moment the pursuers rushed into the forest, the death symphony written by Bai Xiaofei and Tan Xin officially started!

Without warning, earth spikes sprang up from the ground and pierced the first row of horses, which tripped and caused a chain reaction leading to the ones behind trampling on each other. Such simple spikes became the nightmare of the cavalry.

Yet, the nightmare had only begun!

As the troops stirred up the surrounding environment after being thrown into disarray, not a single person noticed that the leaves on the trees around them flashed with a unique metallic luster. The next second, all the leaves pointed their tips at the unsuspecting Sack soldiers and shot out!

Those leaves were as sharp and hard as steel blades – the work of Mind Sunder!

The pursuers’ reactions were quite fast as they almost immediately put up their shields and blocked the majority of the damage. However, their horses were not so lucky. After only the first round, over a thousand horses had fallen in pools of blood!

When the pursuers calmed down, the traps also stopped raging. They looked around at the surroundings that were dyed red with blood in shock.

What is this?! Don’t tell me they set up traps here a few months in advance?!

What the hell are those leaves?! Is there a puppet master nearby?!

All kinds of doubts plagued their hearts, and none dared to mention anything about continuing their pursuit.

However, the squad captain was gradually unable to sit still. Ahetu’s temper was known throughout the whole Sacks clan. If he knew about the situation here, they would all die an ugly death!

“Everybody dismount. Choose some horses and let them test out a path!” Desperate situations called for desperate measures. Although this method was a little crude, it was already the only method anyone could come up with.

Three horses were quickly chosen and deployed. However, unlike the squad captain’s ideal result of figuring out where all the traps were, the three horses were stopped by a row of earth spikes when they were only twenty meters out.

Seeing this, everyone swallowed hard. At this rate, they wouldn’t be able to get out of this forest until tomorrow!

“Move!” the squad captain bit the bullet and ordered the troops to move along the path.

However, another surprise awaited them…

Unlike Tan Xin’s traps, Bai Xiaofei had the condition that the people passing through needed to reach a certain number!

The roots of the trees along the path suddenly crept out and pulled the soldiers into the ground. At the same time, the leaves on the trees started fluttering, upon which everyone immediately raised their shields.

However, after the battle at the rift, Bai Xiaofei had taken their shields into consideration. Therefore, the leaves this time weren’t sharp, but corrosive!

In fact, he had originally wanted to make the leaves toxic but found out that this idea was not easy to realize upon practice. Mind Sunder was not omnipotent. While altering the memory of elements, it was necessary to consider the limited amount of elements in the target. Leaves were a simple structure and did not have enough elements to create the terrifying effect of poison.

However, corrosiveness alone in large quantities was already enough to get the desired result.
