Chapter 1395: The Two Fall Into a Trap

For a moment, the place was filled with all kinds of sounds.

Especially above their heads, a large flock of birds frantically called out as they flew past.

The noises greatly affected Gu Qiaoqiao’s judgment, and although her eyesight was excellent, it was useless in this pitch-black night.

She could only rely on her senses.

But with all the chaotic sounds around, she couldn’t make anything out.

Gu Qiaoqiao stood there, carefully sensing, but unfortunately, that familiar aura had already disappeared.

However, Gu Qiaoqiao knew that Qin Yize was safe.

If Qin Yize were injured, he wouldn’t be able to run so fast, and besides, he had subordinates following him.

Unfortunately, in the blink of an eye, she lost sight of Qin Yize.

At this moment, Dongfang Yu also caught up, frowning as he said, "It’s not safe here, let’s go."

After all, he was the one who brought the people out; if anything were to happen, how would he explain it to that Qin Yize?

So, they must be brought back safely.

Gu Qiaoqiao glared, "You go back first, I’m not leaving."

"You’ve lost sight of Qin Yize, where will you find him? Are you going to call out for him across the mountains?" Dongfang Yu’s words carried a hint of displeasure.

He used to think Gu Qiaoqiao was someone remarkable, but now she seemed like just an ordinary girl.

No different from anyone else.

At critical moments, she was always a hindrance, really quite willful.

Gu Qiaoqiao kicked over, shouting, "Shut up, don’t influence my judgment."

Dongfang Yu agilely dodged Gu Qiaoqiao’s shadowless kick, continuing to say, "No matter what judgment you make, you can’t stay here. If you do, your Qin Yize will be distracted, making it even more dangerous, don’t you know?"

By the end, Dongfang Yu was almost exasperated.

Gu Qiaoqiao was furious, "The man with Sect Leader Nie just now is very dangerous; Sect Leader Nie is dead, he was probably silenced by him. Catching him might reveal many things."

"Hasn’t Qin Yize already gone after him? If you go, you’ll just cause trouble. Why are you so stubborn, you girl?"

Dongfang Yu was equally angry.

Gu Qiaoqiao sensed the surroundings once more; now it was quiet, and the startled beasts had all run off.

So the sound from afar came through again, and Gu Qiaoqiao lifted her leg to run in that direction.

In truth, Gu Qiaoqiao was most worried about Qin Yize in her heart. That man’s gun must have been enhanced with something strange; otherwise, Sect Leader Nie wouldn’t have been unable to dodge it.

Moreover, this person was ruthless, killing without blinking an eye.

When she’s there, Qin Yize’s safety would be more assured.

Thinking of this, Gu Qiaoqiao picked up speed.

And Dongfang Yu helplessly followed along.

But a fine sheen of sweat was already appearing on his forehead; his body hadn’t fully recovered, making it really hard.

Even so, he had no choice but to follow; what else could he do in this pitch-black wilderness?

At this point, Dongfang Yu was somewhat regretful; he should have checked the almanac before heading out tonight, things really weren’t going smoothly.

The night was still pitch dark, without a bit of starlight, and Gu Qiaoqiao looked back to see Dongfang Yu closely following her.

She couldn’t see his face, but she could see his figure; because of the Barrier Talisman, the thorns didn’t injure Gu Qiaoqiao, otherwise by now she would have been unrecognizable.

Then Gu Qiaoqiao thought of Qin Yize, who didn’t have a Barrier Talisman; who knows what state he’s in now. Thinking of this made Gu Qiaoqiao even more anxious, and she sped up her pace.

Soon, Gu Qiaoqiao distinctly felt a familiar aura ahead; it was Qin Yize’s. In this world, Qin Yize’s presence was something Gu Qiaoqiao could sense immediately. Perhaps, it wasn’t because the two were in love, a soul connection, but because the Wolf’s Fang Qin Yize carried had Gu Qiaoqiao’s Fingertip Blood on it, so Gu Qiaoqiao could sense Qin Yize immediately.

Judging from the aura, Qin Yize was safe now, which relieved Gu Qiaoqiao a bit, but her feet didn’t slow down.

Then she heard a muffled gunshot from ahead, followed by chaotic footsteps. Afterward, without any defense, numerous blinding lights shone toward Gu Qiaoqiao.

The light’s brightness was just too intense, described as flashlight beams, but far stronger than flashlight beams.

Gu Qiaoqiao was using an Invisibility Talisman, so she wasn’t worried about being hurt. She didn’t stop but kept running forward.

At this time, Dongfang Yu’s brows were tightly knitted; it was obvious that the escaping person had reinforcements, what kind of people were they, equipped with such advanced weaponry?

Describing these events seems lengthy, but actually, it happened in the blink of an eye. Then, those lights suddenly disappeared, and several gunshots rang from the forest ahead, before falling into silence.

Gu Qiaoqiao didn’t stop racing forward; right in front was Qin Yize’s figure. She continued running, but suddenly the ground opened up beneath her, and Gu Qiaoqiao involuntarily let out a scream before falling into a pit.

Following behind Gu Qiaoqiao, Dongfang Yu was also caught off guard. When he realized there was a trap below, he wanted to leap away, but it was too late.

And so, Gu Qiaoqiao and Dongfang Yu, these two who claimed to be from the Mystic Sect, fell one after the other into a pit set by a Hunter.

Fortunately, it was Gu Qiaoqiao and Dongfang Yu who fell in; otherwise, it would have been very dangerous for someone else, because inside were dozens of wooden stakes, with very sharp tops meant for large beasts, but instead, they caught two people.

Thanks to the Barrier Talisman’s effect, Gu Qiaoqiao landed safely between the wooden stakes, while Dongfang Yu ignited a Spirit Talisman at a critical moment, also dodging these sharp stakes.

The pit wasn’t big, and where they avoided the stakes was almost side by side. Though widely experienced, falling into a trap for the first time truly startled Gu Qiaoqiao.

Before Gu Qiaoqiao and Dongfang Yu could speak, lights suddenly lit up overhead. Then they heard a young boy’s exclamation, "Captain, look here, there’s a trap with wooden stakes inside. Good thing we didn’t fall in just now."

Then, the soldier’s rifle inadvertently aimed at the pit, meaning the muzzle was also inadvertently pointed at Dongfang Yu and Gu Qiaoqiao.

Both of them were startled.

Just as Gu Qiaoqiao was about to speak, she clamped her mouth shut, even her breathing became very light because at this moment, the young soldier couldn’t see them.
