Chapter 869: Lurk And Lurk

Dudian rushed out of the forest. He didn’t stop but continued to move forward. He came to a hill about 20 miles away from the forest. He found a small hill surrounded by craggy rocks and hid there, this was the limit of his thermal vision. He could see the movement of monsters in the forest through the heat source. If these monsters came close to the warning zone and triggered the mechanism.., at least he could tell that they were not the pursuers.
However, he knew that he couldn’t completely rely on this small warning device. After all, he knew nothing about the enemy’s ability. But since he had reached the level of the abyss, in addition to some extremely terrifying abilities.., he wouldn’t be too inferior in other aspects.
Dudian took out the water from his backpack and drank a few mouthfuls to recover his strength. At the same time he was thinking about the follow-up preparations.
Whoosh!
Baptiste returned at full speed. The noise he made along the way was a bit loud and startled some monsters. However the monsters seemed to have sensed his murderous aura. They stopped after a few steps, dudian didn’t continue to chase after them. After all, with his speed it would only be a short time for him to pass through the territory of these monsters. Most of the monsters wouldn’t fight with strong enemies unless their territory was invaded.
It must be known that the survival of humans was very difficult in this abyss. Monsters were the same. Once they were injured, they would become the food of other monsters.
“Damn kid, I will tear your face apart when I catch you!”Baptiste was angry. In less than 15 minutes, he went back to the previous forest. When he came to the tree hole where Dudian was attacked.., dudian’s figure was long gone. Baptiste had expected this. But when he saw this scene, his heart was even more angry. At the same time, he was more convinced that Dudian had slipped away.
His eyes followed the branches and extended to the distance. In the dark forest, there seemed to be a road that only he could see. The road seemed to be a shining footprint, it was guiding the direction in which he was tracking.
“You’re just a mere ruler. It’s your bad luck to meet me!”Baptiste sneered in his heart. Although his tracking ability was not as good as his hiding ability, it was still considered the second strongest among his many abilities.., it was precisely because he could both track and hide that he dared to come to the outer edge of the magic pit in the middle of the night to relax and not worry about being ambushed by other high-level monsters.
Whoosh!
His figure flew out, shaking the tree branches so much that they rustled. His figure dashed out of the forest like an arrow leaving the bow. After a moment, he continued to move forward, passing through plains, bushes, and a forest that was more than ten miles in diameter.
“He actually walked in a straight line. HMPH, the smell is still very strong. He should not be far from here.”A hint of cruelty flashed in Baptiste’s eyes. The other party did not try to erase his aura, which surprised him a little. was he fearless? Or was he really stupid? Obviously, even if he had reached the master level, he should understand this basic common sense. However, in his opinion, Dudian didn’t erase the smell. It was obvious that he was going to act calm as before. He wanted to trick him but he wouldn’t fall for it anymore!
Baptiste’s eyes became more and more obvious as he quietly rushed into the forest. There was a trace of a sinister smile on his face as he quickly moved forward. Suddenly.., his figure suddenly stopped as if the scene had been paused for an instant. The pause was extremely abrupt, but the leaves stirred by the breeze and the clouds floating in the sky above the forest.., all showed that time had not stopped.
Just this ability to stop at high speed was enough to make most experts gasp in admiration and envy.
Bartiste narrowed his eyes slightly. His gaze fell on a leaf that was about to touch his hand. The clouds on the forest dispersed and moonlight shone down. A flash of light flashed past. He saw clearly that it was a thread. In fact.., he could see it clearly even without the moonlight because he “Saw”it with his nose.
His gaze followed the extremely concealed thread. He saw that the thread was crisscrossing and twining around the branches of the giant tree in front of him. Moreover, they were all twined around the areas where the leaves were lush. They were extremely concealed and even those with good eyesight would not be able to notice them.
He swept his gaze over and the scarlet color in his eyes became even more intense. There was also a hint of a smile. Clearly, this was a trap left behind by the youth. From this, it could be seen that the youth was wary of him. He was basically 100% certain now.., this youth was definitely not an abyss Walker like him!
“Brat, you’re finished!”Baptiste sneered in his heart. His figure moved slightly, bypassing the place where the transparent threads entwined, and passing by the side. After successfully bypassing the giant tree, he glanced around, soon, he caught sight of a monster perched on the giant tree. It looked like a cheetah, but also like a big cat. He took out a piece of hard candy from his bosom, threw it in the middle of the giant tree area where the threads entwined, and then turned around to continue forward, the speed this time was not as fast as before. Therefore, the place that he passed by was so light that even the breeze was very light. There was no movement at all.
“With the current temperature, three minutes of saccharification will loosen the mucous membrane inside and give off the fragrance of meat. Three minutes later, the trap will be activated. During this period of time, you will be the most relaxed. No matter if you are a ruler or an abyss, you will die!”Baptiste was like a hunter who had sneaked into the night, his gaze was cold and cruel as he quietly advanced through the night.
Following the scent, he soon arrived at the hilly area. His gaze locked onto a small hill.
“The scent is still there. It has stopped here. HMPH, are you trying to ambush Me Here?”Baptiste smiled coldly. He was just about to approach when he suddenly stopped. A sharp light flashed in his eyes, “I see, this is the real trap. If he knows that he is no match for me, then the thread in the forest is the early warning device. Since he has made the early warning method, then this place will be the ambush site. However, he didn’t hide the smell, which shows that this place is also an early warning device, and it is very likely that it has combined the effects of the trap, a double early warning method!”
“As long as I make a move, he will know that his original body and the corpse king should have been hidden nearby. They won’t be able to go far.”
Thinking of this, Baptiste stopped and carefully used his ability to simulate the shape and characteristics of the surroundings. At the same time, he looked around and used his sense of smell to search and distinguish carefully.
Even if one used some kind of method to wipe away the smell, there would always be something left behind. One had to know that other than the body secreting sweat and releasing the smell, there would be traces of the original smell on one’s clothes and boots, or the smell of the place one passed by. There were too many of these smells and it was impossible to completely eliminate them. Even someone with his special latent ability could not do it.
So as long as he was careful enough, he could find the flaw.
However, he knew that he didn’t have much time left. When the silk thread was touched, the teenager should be the most alert and the most relaxed. If he appeared next to him and attacked, he would definitely be able to kill him in one hit!
However, three minutes had passed. He was anxious to find Dudian in the short time left. However, the anxiety didn’t affect his body’s fluctuation.
“The fragrance of flowers, the moist soil…”baptiste searched carefully like a hunting dog.
Suddenly, the sound of a strong wind came from the distance.
Although it was a strong wind, but only his hearing could hear the sound of branches moving in the forest twenty miles away. Moreover, he had been paying attention to the movement of the branches.
The sound of the wind was like the sound of a giant tree being bent. He knew that the silk thread was broken.
His face slightly sank. He had missed the best opportunity to attack.
He controlled himself to calm down and continued to concentrate on the search.
A few minutes later, Dudian heard the sound of stones being smashed. His eyes flashed cold. He didn’t look back and continued to move forward.
Baptiste searched for a few minutes but still couldn’t find Dudian. He knew that there was no point in continuing to disguise. Dudian knew that he was here so he didn’t hide anymore, he rushed to the source of the smell. There was a white towel hanging on top of a stone. There were words engraved on the stone under the towel: Idiot, Congratulations!
That’s right, there was an exclamation mark behind the word “You”, filled with malice.
Baptiste was so angry that his mouth almost twisted. He immediately punched the rock, and with a bang, the rock shattered.
When he smashed the rock, he suddenly woke up and could not help but curse. He suspected that the words on the rock were deliberately left to provoke him, and he smashed the rock with anger, the sound that was created just happened to remind the other party.
This was another warning device, and he had clearly seen it, but he had personally triggered it!
Thinking of this result and the few words carved on the stone, he felt that his head was about to explode with anger!
