Chapter 163: Don’t Move, There’s a Trap!
Poison Blade was stunned.
Such a situation was too rare.
Every mystic realm was equivalent to an independent small world with a relatively self-sustaining ecosystem.
There were plants, herbivores, carnivores, and creatures at the top of the food chain.
Hirano Plains was an example of a perfect mystic realm.
That was a huge flat plain terrain with very few hills. It was naturally suitable for large machinery farming and large-scale grazing.
The Hungry Ghost Village, on the other hand, was an example of an extremely poor mystic realm.
The sun was rarely seen there. It was also difficult for various plants to grow there, and the trees that grew there were small and short.
The only demon beasts there were hungry ghosts that wandered around the village all year round.
In the past, there had been several examples of mystic realms being connected in the Construction Division. However, the mystic realms that were connected in the Construction Division all had a similar environment.
For example, a plains-type mystic realm would connect to another plains-type mystic realm, mountains would connect to mountains, swamps connected to swamps, and so on.
However, now that the Hirano Plains and the Hungry Ghost Village were connected, this had become the first connection that occurred between two completely different mystic realms.
In any case, such an example had never appeared in the Construction Division.
As for the other large organizations, Lin Xuan did not know. After all, he had only read a large number of records about the Construction Division.
The three Secret Service Division section chiefs gave the order and all the martial artists immediately followed.
Poison Blade swept his gaze over. There were about 30 people, which meant that there were about 10 people from the Secret Service Division of each of the 3 cities.
The door of light of the Hirano Plains mystic realm was similar to the door of light of the Hungry Ghost Village. They were both located in the central square of Kosaka City.
This was also the reason why the martial artists from the Secret Service Division of Furuya City and Inochi City had specially rushed to Kosaka City.
Soon, they arrived at the central square of Kosaka City.
There were eight mystic realm doors of light here.
Among them were the Sixth Realm mystic realm Hungry Ghost Village and the Fourth Realm mystic realm Hirano Plains.
“We’ll guard outside. If anyone wants to escape, we’ll immediately intercept them.” The section chief of the Secret Service Division of Inochi City took the initiative to guard outside.
The other two section chiefs had no objections and led the other 20 people into the plains one after another.
After a short moment of dizziness, Poison Blade saw a flat and open plain.
The bright sunlight shone on the grass, making it appear even more green and bright.
Looking over, the whole scene was green.
Many creatures that had been tamed by martial artists were leisurely eating grass here.
These creatures were also demon beasts in the past, but after several generations of nurturing, their wild nature had been eradicated and they rarely displayed any aggression.
Moreover, after several generations of cultivation, their meat was even more succulent and their milk was even more abundant.
Compared to the chickens and cows before the global digitization, the production here was much higher.
There were small ranches every certain distance on the grassland, and the Fourth Realm martial artists in charge of this grassland lived there.
Of course, although they were Fourth Realm martial artists, their combat strength was actually not very powerful. They might only have one or two combat skills.
They did not need to fight much. At most, they would comfort the demon beasts when they were restless.
These demon beasts had long lost their wild nature. After being tamed a little, they would calm down.
These martial artists basically focused on developing life skills and logistic skills. Their daily job was to feed the demon beasts.
Poison Blade looked ahead and could still see a green wheat field.
Every wheat field was square and was handled by two to three Fourth Realm martial artists.
The speed at which crops matured in the plains was far faster than outside.
If they got lucky, these crops could even become mature in a year.
There were many mystic realms like the Hirano Plains.
It was precisely because of these mystic realms that High Heaven Plains could steadily produce a large amount of food, so much so that it could even be exported to the Arctic Army, which produced less food.
Beside him, Murata also sighed and said, “I’ve eaten wheat from the Hirano Plains since I was young, but I’ve never gotten tired of it.”
“This kind of good place can’t be destroyed by the burning earth demons. If we deal with that group of people later, we still have to find the burning earth demons.”
Poison Blade nodded when he heard this.
In any case, he would gain battle merits. It didn’t matter what he did.
“Where are those people?” he asked.
Murata pointed at the black cloud in front of him. “Look, over there is the place that connects the Hirano Plains and the Hungry Ghost Village. According to the report of the martial artists from the Hirano Plains, more than a dozen people were fighting each other just now. Among them were the black-clothed men you once described.”
“If I’m not wrong, they’ve already gone to the Hungry Ghost Village. However, the hungry ghosts there are rioting. Although the hungry ghosts are only at the Sixth Realm, they’ll still be a hindrance to us. This is why we’re taking the path of the Hirano Plains to chase after them.”
The chief of the Secret Service Division of Kosaka City sneered. “If these people try to escape from the Hungry Ghost Village through various means, they will immediately be stopped by the people outside!”
“They’re basically surrounded and can’t escape!”
The martial artists immediately bragged and praised the section chief’s wise leadership.
Lin Xuan listened carefully and felt a trace of worry.
The other party dared to lead more than ten people into the mystic realm with great fanfare just to kill a girl suspected to be Tianyu Cai.
If they dared to do this, wouldn’t it mean that they had also considered the possibility that the Secret Service Division would send people to surround and suppress them?
Could it be that they did not prepare any backup plans?
Thinking of this, Lin Xuan secretly took a few steps back.
Even if the sky collapsed, a tall person would hold it up.
He would let the others probe first.
The two section chiefs of Kosaka City and Furuya City were both Eighth Realm martial artists. If the black-clothed people also had Eighth Realm martial artists, they would need to depend on the section chiefs.
Everyone continued forward, and the surrounding scenery changed subtly.
The bright and beautiful environment gradually turned into a dark and miserable atmosphere.
The sunlight was gradually replaced by dark clouds.
Soon, the surrounding atmosphere quickly turned into the miserable atmosphere of the Hungry Ghost Village.
To the martial artists, it was as if they had fallen from heaven to hell.
After taking a few steps, they saw many bloodstains and corpses on the ground.
Hirano Yuta immediately stepped forward and analyzed a corpse’s wound and cause of death.
Three minutes later, he quickly stood up.
He said solemnly to the section chief of Kosaka City and the section chief of Furuya City, who was also his father, “There are 12 injuries and 2 fatal injuries on his body. One of the fatal injuries was caused by a short knife that pierced his heart, and the other was an ice spike that pierced his brain. The time of death was about 20 minutes ago.”
The section chief of Furuya City nodded in admiration. “Yuta, your analysis ability has improved again.”
Hirano Yuta smiled proudly.
“Continue forward! The other party must be somewhere in the Hungry Ghost Village!” the Kosaka City section chief shouted.
After taking a few steps, they saw another corpse fall to the ground.
The martial artists immediately approached. Hirano Yuta even walked in front of the corpse and squatted down to flip the corpse.
“Wait…”
Poison Blade directly stopped him.
He really could not help it.
It didn’t matter when he analyzed the previous corpse just now. Back there, the kid could analyze it however he wanted.
In any case, he was the son of the section chief of Furuya City.
However, he could not analyze this one.
Poison Blade had used his High-Level Observer skill to see that there was a trap set up by the other party under this corpse.
[Black Blood Leech] was a strange Seventh Realm demon beast. It was almost harmless and was usually the color of flesh. After absorbing enough blood, it would turn black and explode after being poked lightly.
The power of the explosion was enough to raze everything within a ten-meter radius to the ground!
Even two Eighth Realm martial artists like the two section chiefs could be blasted and suffer intermediate injuries!
The strength of those men in black was unknown, so he could not let anything happen to these two section chiefs.
If they were seriously injured now, how were they supposed to fight later?!
Hearing his words, everyone was stunned.
Hirano Yuta turned around and looked at him unhappily.
“Do you have any unique insights?”
Murata also coughed dryly. “Mu Qiang, you’re inferior to Yuta in terms of analyzing corpses. Why don’t we let him do it?”
Poison Blade did not know whether to laugh or cry. He hurriedly said, “Don’t touch that corpse. There’s a trap below!”
Hearing this, Hirano Yuta immediately stopped the hand that almost touched the corpse.
A trigger type trap was placed under the corpse. This was a vicious trap that was cleverly placed.
If he was careless, he might fall into the trap.
Hirano Yuta only wanted to show off in front of his father and did not want to lose his life.
“That makes sense. Let’s retreat and attack this corpse from afar.”
Hirano Yuta nodded softly.
Everyone hurriedly retreated seven to eight meters.
Poison Blade shook his head. “No, I think we’re still too close. I’ll go back a little.”
He directly retreated ten meters.
The section chief of Furuya City could not help but laugh. “Murata, your new employee is a little timid.”
The Kosaka City Section Chief smiled helplessly.
He was also not familiar with Mu Qiang. He had only heard Murata mention Mu Qiang many times.
“It’s always good to be cautious. I’ll take a few more steps back.”
The section chief of Kosaka City was also a relatively cautious person. Moreover, he felt that there was indeed no harm in being cautious.
It was just that Mu Qiang seemed a little… timid.
Since the section chief had retreated, the others from Kosaka City also retreated.
In this way, the members of the Furuya City were all seven to eight meters away from the corpse.
Murata and the other members of Kosaka City were nine meters away.
Only Poison Blade was ten meters away.
Hirano Yuta took a bow from his back and instantly pulled it to the limit. The bow was like a full moon.
An explosive arrow shot out and directly blasted the corpse away.
Boom!
The black blood exploded crazily, and the terrifying power directly blasted the corpse into dozens of pieces.
Flesh and bones fell from the sky, enveloping Hirano Yuta and the others.
The person closest to the corpse took the most damage.
The section chief of Furuya City reacted in time and pulled his son into his arms with his right hand, suffering most of the damage himself.
The other two were not so lucky.
They were directly hit by the flesh and bones that contained huge kinetic energy!
There were small bloody holes all over their faces and chests.
They screamed on the spot!
As for the section chief of Kosaka City, Murata, and the others, they were dumbfounded.
What the hell?
There was really a trap!
Moreover, the power of the trap was ridiculous!
They had already retreated to nine meters, but there were still many pieces of flesh that shot over like bullets!
Murata wiped his cheek. A bloody groove had suddenly appeared there! He felt a burning pain.
Lin Xuan deliberately controlled Poison Blade to retreat a few steps and shouted exaggeratedly.
“Damn! Fortunately, I was more cautious. That scared me to death.”
Murata immediately looked at him and even gave him a thumbs up. “There’s indeed no harm in being cautious.”
Compared to the members of these departments in Kosaka City who had superficial injuries, the two unlucky ones in Furuya City were much worse.
Their health points had decreased by at least half. They had no choice but to use the Life Potion to recover as soon as possible.
They felt very regretful now.
If he had been as cautious as Mu Qiang a few minutes ago and retreated a few more steps, they would not have suffered such an unexpected disaster.
