At that moment, Anna suddenly leaned into Xu Hao's ear and whispered, "Brother, shall we just watch the show from above and let them clear the traps for us?"
Xu Hao nodded slightly and smiled, "Indeed, since there is free labor available, why not use it, right?"
Anna nodded vigorously and sincerely said, "Brother, I admire you so much. You actually came up with such a great idea, letting our enemies work for us willingly. It feels like they've all become a bunch of workers."
The Islanders had no idea they had become workers.
With two Chunin leading the way and Kameda Shichiro and Kameda Hachiro closely behind, followed by the others, they had broken through several traps easily.
At this time, Kameda Hachiro disdainfully said, "I say, Shichirou, aren't you being too cautious? These traps obviously aren't much. The first trap, the Feathered Arrow, only shoots out one arrow each time, posing no threat at all. The second, a rolling rock trap, are those rocks? They're not even as big as a fist!
The third, the steel needle trap, the needles fall to the ground before even reaching halfway... Hahaha, I think these are all children's toys, they're all too trashy!"
After Kameda Hachiro's analysis, Kameda Shichirou also started to doubt himself. Could it be that he had been too cautious and there really was nothing as terrible as he imagined here?
At that moment, the Chunin walking at the front turned back and said, "Lord Shichirou, I think the Huaya people love to boast about how formidable they are, so that Gui Guzi and others are surely overrated. His actual skills in trap-making might not even match mine! These mechanical techniques of his probably only deceive those ignorant Huaya people, they're all just garb..."
But before he could finish saying "trash," he suddenly stopped speaking and collapsed limp to the ground!
Kameda Shichirou's face changed drastically, and he immediately ordered everyone to halt and stand by on the spot.
He slowly walked over and carefully inspected, and after a long while, he slowly said, "A trap was triggered, a steel needle as thin as a hair ended his life." The latest chapters are uploaded first on *.
Everyone suddenly felt a sense of horror. These were traps left behind by people from two thousand years ago, but how could they be so precise as to kill a Chunin who was on alert with just a single steel needle?
Around them, there was no noise, and the silence was somewhat terrifying.
Together with the already strong evil energy, everyone involuntarily shivered. They lacked Xu Hao's ability to dispel the evil energy, and even strong Upper Ninjas like Kameda Shichirou and Hachiro, if they stayed too long in this environment, would find it unbearable.
Seeing the atmosphere grow heavy, Kameda Shichirou said in a grave tone, "Since we have come this far and found this place, it's impossible to just give up. Everyone, the fact proves that these traps are not ineffective, it's the person who created them that's faulty. Some of his traps work well, others don't. He might have been using this place to test his skills in making traps.
Therefore, no matter how trashy the traps we face next, we can't take them lightly anymore, because the next one could take your lives any moment!"
All the ninjas looked grave, even the usually frivolous Kameda Hachiro no longer dared to speak recklessly. If someone else died because of his careless speech, he suspected Kameda Shichirou would definitely kill him.
Kameda Shichirou looked around, puzzled. The direction from which the steel needle was shot was slightly upward. Was the trap above in the cave?
However, the very nature of traps is their concealment and unpredictability. If they could easily be discovered, then they would not be traps.
And their mission this time was to seize the Immortal Bone; even hunting Xu Hao was secondary, so he could not risk probing for the trap.
Anna whispered, "Brother, why did you take action to kill that man? Wouldn't it be better to keep them to scout ahead?"
Xu Hao shook his head lightly and said, "He was disrespectful, so I naturally had to punish him. Besides, just a Chunin. Maybe he could have survived scouting ahead, but facing the traps later, he was almost certainly doomed."
Above, Xu Hao continued to move slowly with Anna. Meanwhile, below, another member of the Kameda family's ninjas had died.
After they passed several traps, Kameda Shichirou suddenly shouted, "Retreat quickly!"
But it was too late for the two Chunin at the front. They were instantly turned into sieves by the barrage of Feathered Arrows.
The others immediately retreated, but still, one was hit, and the strong impact carried him sliding several meters before he stopped.
After the Feathered Arrows disappeared, Kameda Shichirou hurriedly checked the man and found that he had already died.
