Chapter 2338 Taking the initiative to lure them into the trap
After a while, several people returned to their original place.
Xiaobai was the first to speak: "I just found footprints in that direction."
Xiao Zhi immediately echoed, "Same here."
Ma Xi and Zhou Si also discovered footprints.
This series of discoveries made several people look solemn.
Xiao Bai said with an almost certain tone, "I feel like they might be coming for us!"
Zhou Si frowned and said in a deep voice: "I'm afraid we can't stay here for long. We must leave as soon as possible."
Xiao Zhi looked troubled and asked anxiously, "What should we do? Where should we go? If we go back, we don't know if there are other ambushes along the way. We are in a very passive situation now."
He paused and continued, "More importantly, it might implicate other people."
Zhou Sijin frowned, with a myriad of thoughts in his mind.
If it was just Xiao Zhi, Xiao Bai and I at the scene, there wouldn't be so many concerns. At worst, we could just try our best.
But with the addition of Marcy, the situation becomes much more complicated. What if the other party really has weapons and a conflict occurs? He is afraid that he will not be able to protect himself.
Thinking of this, his mood became heavier, and a hint of worry unconsciously appeared in his eyes.
Xiao Zhi was also worried.
He was worried about the adverse situations that might happen next.
As a result, to his surprise, Xiaobai and Ma Xi were even calmer than them, as if what was happening before them was just a piece of cake for them.
Xiaobai gently stroked his chin, pondered for a moment, and slowly said: "Perhaps... we can change our thinking and take the initiative to capture them."
When Xiao Zhi heard this, he was stunned.
He looked at Xiao Bai in bewilderment, "Ah? Are you so brave? We are unarmed, without any weapons to defend ourselves! And the other party is obviously prepared, and must be carrying weapons. If we rush into a head-on confrontation with them like this, wouldn't that be tantamount to seeking our own death?"
Xiao Zhi advised earnestly: "We are still young and in our prime years. We should cherish our lives and try to live a few more years. Why take such unnecessary risks?"
Xiao Bai couldn't help but find it funny and responded: "Did I say I wanted to die? I also want to live more!"
I am really impressed by this train of thought.
Zhou Si narrowed his eyes and asked, "Do you have any ideas? Why not just say it? The situation is urgent and there is no time to waste."
Xiao Bai chuckled and said mysteriously, "I do have an idea, but it requires the cooperation of our little Ma Xi to be completed."
When these words were spoken, Zhou Si and Xiao Zhi were both surprised. They obviously did not expect Xiao Bai to come up with such a plan.
Marcy blinked her bright big eyes, thought for a moment, and immediately understood.
"Brother Xiaobai, are you going to take advantage of this little creature in the forest?"
Seeing that she had also thought of this, Xiaobai continued, "It's not as simple as just using them. We have to surround them first. I remember there is a defensive formation at the entrance of your tribe. Do you know how to activate that formation?
If we can trap the people first and then attract those little gadgets, leaving them with nowhere to escape, we can scare them to death.”
Marcy's eyes lit up, she clapped her hands excitedly, and said, "I can do this!"
She had watched her elders operate the big formation of their tribe since she was a child, so it was no problem at all for her!
Xiao Bai snapped his fingers in satisfaction and said with a smile: "That's easy. Since you have no problem with it, let's get started!"
"Row."
Marcy readily agreed, her face filled with excitement to try it out.
Zhou Si and Xiao Zhi were very confused and asked the two people with confusion, "No, what are you talking about? Why can't I understand anything? What kind of formation is this?"
Seeing this, Xiao Bai gave a brief explanation and said, "These are some ancient formations that trap people, similar to a complicated maze. If you don't understand, you can search online and there will be a lot of relevant information."
Xiao Zhi frowned and said, "It's not that I don't know, but... can this thing really work??? Isn't this superstition???"
Xiaobai smiled mysteriously and said calmly, "You will soon know whether it is superstition or not."
Xiao Zhi muttered to himself, I don't believe this evil, it can really trap people.
What is so mysterious about this formation?
But Zhou Si did not doubt anything. He walked up to Ma Xi and asked, "How can I help you?"
Marcy smiled, nodded, and said, "Yes, just wait a moment, I'll be right there."
She quickly picked up a dry branch and drew a formation diagram on the ground.
Then, he began to explain it to the three of them.
She pointed to several key locations on the map, which were the core of the entire formation, or the so-called eye of the formation.
Then, he emphasized in a serious tone, "Later, you may need to follow my instructions and help arrange the formation. This way, we can form a formation... After those people break in, they will be trapped inside and unable to escape."
After hearing this explanation, Xiao Zhi couldn't help but feel a little unbelievable, "Is this formation really so magical? Can it really trap people?"
Xiao Bai chuckled and said, "You will know if it is true or not after you experience it yourself."
As soon as the voice fell, Marcy urged decisively: "Okay, without further ado, let's get started now."
Although Xiao Zhi still had doubts in his heart, he did not dare to slow down his actions.
Several people quickly followed Marcy's instructions and arranged the key points of the formation in an orderly manner.
After about ten minutes, the trap was formed.
The scale of this formation is not as large as the one that was originally set up in the primeval forest.
After all, it only trapped a few people, and the range of the formation was limited to a small area, so it was relatively quick to set up.
After they returned to their original location, they asked Marcy, "What else needs to be done?"
Marcy replied: "The trap has been formed. The next step is to lure those people into the trap."
Xiao Bai thought for a moment and suddenly asked, "Is there anything that can make a loud noise? We need to use sound to attract their attention."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhi quickly took out a few glass bottles from his bag and asked, "Are these okay? Bottles made of this material should be able to create a small explosion if burned with fire."
Xiao Bai nodded in approval, "Okay."
Then he swiftly began to pick up firewood around him.
It wasn't long before the fire was lit and the glass bottle thrown into it.
As the flames burned, the bottle began to make crackling sounds and could explode at any time.
Zhou Si saw this and subconsciously pulled Marcy behind a big tree, fearing that the fragments produced by the explosion of the glass bottle would accidentally hurt her.
Marcy was very obedient and stayed away.
The two held their breath, waiting for the glass bottle to explode.
After a while, the glass bottle exploded as expected. In this dense and deep forest, the explosion was particularly loud, as if even the air was vibrating, and it was heard from far away.
Not only that, all the birds and insects in the trees were scared away, making a loud rustling noise in the forest.
Xiaobai quickly ran out from behind the tree nearby, with an expectant look on his face, and said to Ma Xi: "It's almost time. If those people hear it, they will come back soon. Let's find a place to hide first."
"and many more."
Marcy interrupted, seeming to feel that something was missing.
She pondered for a few seconds and added, "You three, take off your coats quickly, break off some branches and insert them into the formation to lure the enemy."
After hearing this, Xiao Zhi's eyes flashed with approval, and he couldn't help but praise: "This method is really good, Xiao Yang's brain reacts really quickly."
He kept praising, but his hands were moving quickly too.
Soon, the three of them did as Marcy said.
After a while, everything was deployed and the few people finally retreated to a nearby place, silently waiting in the dark for the arrival of those people.
After about ten minutes, finally, the sound of footsteps was heard, breaking the silence around.
Several tall figures gradually emerged from the depths of the woods and eventually merged together.
"Did you hear the explosion just now?"
One of them asked in a deep voice, "Did anyone among you shoot without permission?"
“We’re not open!”
The other person responded suspiciously, with a hint of confusion in his tone.
"Who opened it? Did the target person appear?"
The leader frowned, with an ominous premonition in his heart.
what happened?
At this moment, someone suddenly pointed to a place not far away and exclaimed: "Look, there seems to be a figure swaying over there, they can't be over there!"
Everyone looked over there and saw three people wearing different colored clothes vaguely visible in the fog in the distance.
Seeing this, several men in black immediately raised their guns and approached that direction quickly and cautiously.
Several people arrived at the scene, but only saw three pieces of clothing.
They tore off their clothes and threw them away, wondering, "What's going on? Where are the people?"
"No, this should be a trap?"
Some people reacted quickly, became alert instantly, and looked around hurriedly.
Even planning to disperse.
They were worried that there might be an ambush here, but they were surprised to find that the forest was completely quiet and there was nothing there.
What's happening here?
The group looked at each other, their hearts filled with confusion.
The leader said in a deep voice: "Although the situation is unclear now, the other party will definitely not go far. Let's find them first. We should still follow the previous plan and divide into three groups to search."
After hearing this, several people nodded, "Understood."
After saying that, several people quickly took action and chased in different directions.
Marcy and others on the periphery were staring at this direction nervously.
To be honest, due to the long distance and the obstruction of thick fog, they were actually unable to clearly see the specific movements of those people.
I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but ever since the formation was formed in that area, the fog has become thicker, as if forming an invisible barrier that completely blocks their sight.
You can't see what's going on inside at all.
This unknown situation made Xiao Zhi feel a little uneasy.
It won't roll over, right?
