High-Martial World: System Arrives 30 Years Late-Chapter 216 - 188: Su Mu’s Harsh Advice Falls on Deaf Ears, Rivers of Blood Flow (2)
Seeing this scene, many people felt reassured, and their confidence in this hunt grew significantly; the Black Tiger Hunting Corps had come prepared!
The One-Eyed Dragon looked at these traps with a flash of pain in his eyes. The Black Tiger Hunting Corps was indeed prepared, but it was initially to deal with a certain Fierce Beast Overlord on the Third Floor.
These traps were quite valuable, including some that could be triggered only once. He was confident that even a Grandmaster Level Fierce Beast would be severely injured if caught off guard.
After setting up the Heaven and Earth Net, the plan officially began.
"You guys just need to boldly move forward. If something happens, just run back. It’s that simple, right?"
"Boss, aren’t you coming with us?"
"I’ll naturally stay here to oversee things. Are you perhaps afraid and want to desert?"
"Boss, you clearly didn’t say that earlier..."
"Hmph, now that things have come to this, why don’t you ask everyone if they agree to let you desert? I can promise you that once the Fire Flood Dragon is hunted, you’ll be credited with the merits and can be the first to claim the spoils. That’s already quite generous, and I advise you not to be ungrateful."
"Well, alright then."
At this moment, some people already regretted it, but seeing the others glaring at them and sensing the thick threat in the One-Eyed Dragon’s tone earlier, they worried that if they were to back out now, they might not be able to leave here alive.
"Let’s go for it!"
The group swallowed hard and walked into the depths of the swamp, but finishing a full circle yielded no movement.
"Where’s the Fire Flood Dragon?"
The bait exchanged puzzled glances.
In the next moment, they heard a massive surge of the swamp behind them. Someone’s eyelids twitched wildly, and turning around, his pupils contracted abruptly. A hideous giant creature emerged from the depths of the swamp.
"It’s the Fire Flood Dragon, run..."
The voice abruptly stopped.
Everyone felt a chill in their abdomen, followed by a dull pain. In the next second, there was a sudden spray of blood.
Someone confusingly wiped his cheek, feeling the warmth and heat. Looking down, his heart trembled violently; his hands were covered in red. The liquid that splattered over him earlier was nothing but blood!
He slowly turned around, his pupils widening and then constricting fiercely.
A horrifying scene unfolded.
Behind him stood a row of bodies without upper halves. Looking down, the toppled upper halves on the ground hadn’t entirely died yet, violently twitching. One person, driven by the will to survive, tightly grasped his right foot.
Bang!
At this point, a loud crash sounded as nearby shrubs collapsed. That last surviving person’s heart skipped a beat, bringing him back to his senses. At this moment, Su Mu’s words suddenly rang in his ears.
"This is not a battlefield; anyone without Sixth Level strength should leave, otherwise, it’s suicide."
Truth is hard to swallow, and he regretted not listening earlier, but it was too late now.
"The Fire Flood Dragon is here, save me, help me!"
He ran frantically towards the crowd, shouting loudly, but this only drew the Fire Flood Dragon’s attention. Its cold eyes flashed with surprise.
Even after striking just now with its tail, there was still a human left alive, like an ant.
Nobody came to his aid; the scene just now left the others frozen in place. The one-eyed brute stopped hiding anything and cursed under his breath.
"A bunch of worthless people, can’t even act as ’bait’ properly."
The last surviving person kept looking back, and in the moment when his eyes met the Fire Flood Dragon’s, his eyelids twitched wildly. He stumbled and fell to the ground.
"Save me, plea..."
His teammates were right ahead; he could already see the silhouette of the One-Eyed Brute. But he just stood there, showing no intention of helping.
"No, no, I don’t want to die yet..."
With a sickening crunch, a massive maw bit down, flesh and bones snapped instantly, and the last bit of bait was swallowed by the Fire Flood Dragon. At this moment, the Fire Flood Dragon looked forward and let out a skyward roar.
"Captain, quickly, take action!" Seeing the Fire Flood Dragon approaching rapidly, someone urged.
"Why rush? Getting closer will truly bring out the trap’s power."
"Captain..."
The one-eyed dragon’s eyes glimmered dangerously, and he stomped his foot down hard, sending a person tumbling out in front of the Fire Flood Dragon.
"How could you do that?"
"He just got too excited and lost his footing. Nothing to do with me." The one-eyed brute waved his hand, then spoke deeply, "I’m the leader of the Black Tiger Hunting Corps. If you want to survive now, you’d better listen to me!"
The form that rolled out instantly caught the Fire Flood Dragon’s eyes. The person’s face turned ashen, scrambling to crawl back with limbs and legs, his soul rattled.
At this moment, the massive figure of the Fire Flood Dragon approached. At this instant, the greed in the one-eyed brute’s eyes was no longer concealed. It was like he could already see the Fire Flood Dragon falling into a pool of blood.
"This time, I can... make a big profit!"
"Captain!" A Black Tiger Hunting Corps member exclaimed excitedly.
"Good, now, activate the trap!"
Whoosh whoosh whoosh.
In an instant, dozens of massive, sharp crossbow arrows shot out, kicking up a fierce wind. The ground traps were triggered simultaneously, as a cage formed in the dust and locked the Fire Flood Dragon inside.
At this point, the terrifying rain of arrows covered the Fire Flood Dragon completely.
"Was it successful?!"
Clang clang clang.
The crossbow arrows collided violently with the scales of the Fire Flood Dragon, producing a series of explosive metallic sounds, sparks flying, accompanied by a piercing scream.
But the scenario everyone expected, that the Fire Flood Dragon would be pierced through and even pinned to the ground by the arrows, didn’t materialize.
After the rain of arrows ended, and the dust settled, everyone stared intently at the large iron cage in the field. The Fire Flood Dragon inside was curled up, its body bleeding, but the rain of arrows only left seven or eight lodged in its body, and they hadn’t even penetrated deep into the flesh.
