Chapter 80 – Falling into the trap (2/2)

“Hey! Mind your steps and do not run around!”

Seeing that Shao Xuan was running on the peripheral zone, Tuo and the others got quite confused. Shouldn’t he be fleeing away?

“It wants the Green Thief!!” Shao Xuan shouted.

It wanted the Green Thief? The Fire Lances also targeted the Green Thief?!

Before anyone could say anything, they heard Shao Xuan shout out again, “I just set a trap. Everybody needs to move away later!”

He rushed towards the middle of the two Fire Lances, as he shouted.

“Stop it, Ah-Xuan! What are you doing?!” Ta shouted out angrily.

The battle in between the two Fire Lances was not strong. Obviously these two plants had no intention of fighting each other. That was also the reason why Shao Xuan dared to run through them. Also, Shao Xuan was quite fast in his running. Although he could not fight against the Fire Lance, he had the ability to avoid their attacks.

Shao Xuan stepped on the vines and jumped high.

His moves were too fast to be seen, while the spearhead darts flew through quite a few points. When there was a need for knotting, he would do it in a second.

It’s finished!!

But Shao Xuan did not stop running.

Shao Xuan with the stone box in his arms became a perfect bait. No matter where he ran to, the two Fire Lances would be chasing after him, attacking. Just because of that, Ta and the others were following Shao Xuan, to resist most of the vines.

A vine shot up from a sharp angle from below. Shao Xuan did not try to avoid it, instead, he took out the stone sword to resist.

Bang!

There was a crashing sound like two stones hitting each other.

Tuo and the others saw that Shao Xuan was flying in the air because of the recoil.

Keke was the closest one to Shao Xuan, and he planned to rescue him by catching him there. He would be falling directly onto the ground if no one helped him.

However, Keke found out in shock that the boy stopped in the middle of the air. He was supposed to be flying down in a parabola.

Yes, he stopped mid-air.

Steady and still.

In the meantime, people heard something. It was like when wood got strangled tight.

Not only Keke, even Ta and the others were surprisingly shocked with their eyes wide open. But at a second look, they found that Shao Xuan was not standing in the air. He was standing on a white thread.

When did the white thread exist there?

All the warriors were confused, but they thought about Shao Xuan’s earlier claim of “setting a trap”. It might work, seeing such circumstances.

“Everybody retreat! Tuo, Keke, Suo! You go back a little more!” Shao Xuan asked the ones in the circle of the trap to step down. He wanted to be safe, even if they weren’t in danger in the first place.

Standing on a white thread, the snare in Shao Xuan’s mind became clearer than ever.

Some vines were shooting towards him. And at least one of them fell into the trap.

Although there were two separated individual Fire Lances, half of their vines were strangled in the snare that Shao Xuan set. Any single vine falling into the trap would trigger a series of reactions on the snare. It was a chain trap.

Shao Xuan felt that everything was moving slower than usual, and time seemed to have been frozen. All he could see now were the few vines shooting at him, along with some threads, which might not be so clear in other people’s eyes. They became more and more clear in Shao Xuan’s vision. Besides that, everything else merged into the vague background.

It’s near!

Nearer!

One of the vine twisted, and it flew through the thread in Shao Xuan’s vision.
