"This [Vulture's Hand]?"
Bai Zhou turned around, picked up the mechanical glove on the table again, and then turned to look at the corpse with a thoughtful expression.
Could it be that Hunter left [Vulture's Hand] just so that his daughter could use it to extract its special abilities from the remains?
"Wrong----"
As soon as this idea appeared, it was rejected by Bai Zhou himself.
According to previous identifications, it can be seen that the ability of Vulture's Hand to take out can only be temporarily saved, and there is a time limit and number of times.
There is no reason for Hunter named "Zhang Yiqiao" to pass this special ability to his daughter in such a castrated version.
What's more----
[Bald Hand]The ability to grab corpses is random.
No one can guarantee that the person it captures will happen to be the one with the ability to attack King of Lustful Evils.
One possibility is that the old man has a special technique for catching lice.
"So, this is a cover-up, or a trap."
Bai Zhou suddenly realized, all kinds of thoughts were flowing rapidly in his heart. "If this corpse is not delivered to my daughter, others will at most use [Vulture's Hand] to try to capture it, and in the end the bamboo basket will be empty!"
"If it were really possible to acquire that kind of ability so easily, my predecessor [Sloth] would have done it long ago, and he wouldn't have kept it until now!"
Regarding Hunter and his predecessor Sloth, and regarding this Safe House, Bai Zhou is full of doubts at this time.
Does your predecessor Sloth know the remains in this secret room?
Is the owner of this Safe House hidden underground the predecessor [Sloth], or is the remains of Hunter just discovered by the predecessor [Sloth], and Jiuzhan Magpie Nest has been renovated?
Or is there some kind of connection between the two that Bai Zhou is not aware of yet?
With these doubts, Bai Zhou lifted [Vulture's Hand] while cautiously approaching the secret room compartment, looking at it carefully.
"Don't move yet!"
At this time, the crow's voice suddenly sounded in Bai Zhou's ears.
Even if she didn't say that, Bai Zhou had no plans to act rashly.
"Never step into the territory of a Hunter - even if he has been dead for who knows how long."
Crow looked around the secret little cubicle. Even though it was only three meters square, it seemed that he could see everything at a glance. There was nothing except the skeleton sitting cross-legged in the center.
"Remember that I always taught you how to use traps? Including Explosion Ritual----these are the conventional methods from Hunter. Generally speaking, there should never be no traps here."
"Of course, I won't forget----"
Bai Zhou nodded. "In fact, I was thinking about this issue just now."
Immediately afterwards, he immediately activated the instinct obtained from Jurassic.
-"Scarlet Senses"!
"Huh----"
The originally clear and colorful world gradually faded or even blurred before our eyes, as if it had become a black and white background.
The vision turned completely gray, and the five senses seemed to suddenly enter another quiet world, with vague and chaotic whispers whispering in the ears.
On the gray background, scarlet lines gradually emerged ferociously, glowing clearly in the field of vision, like ferocious blood stains.
In such a field of vision, all the colorful details that interfere with visual perception fade away, which allows Bai Zhou to notice many things that cannot be noticed under normal conditions, including the degree of decay of the walls and the footprints and even friction marks on the ground.
For example, now, Bai Zhou quickly saw a few bloody lines on the ground, which were "traces" left when the remains were dragged in. Probably because it was so long ago, they looked very light even in Scarlet Senses.
However, at the level of Mysticism, if Hunter deliberately hides the trap, these are not enough----
Therefore, Bai Zhou continues to add more money.
"Buzz!"
The depths of his eyes [Celestial Pivot] flowed, and a few rays of spiritual light bloomed faintly in the gray field of vision. These spiritual pulses were fully seen by Bai Zhou.
[Celestial Pivot] and "Scarlet Senses", combined, in this situation where no one interferes and the terrain can be explored quietly, it is difficult for anything to escape the eyes of Bai Zhou.
"Is this----?"
Soon, Bai Zhou had new traces.
Inside the dark secret room, Bai Zhou saw an area that would be bypassed when spirituality flows.
The area was very small, even smaller than a spider's thread. The area that the spirit bypassed was a vague straight line, stuck diagonally not far behind the entrance.
If Bai Zhou hadn't been here to observe the direction of the spiritual flow and watched it for almost ten minutes without blinking, he would have almost never discovered this anomaly.
When Bai Zhou informed Crow of this discovery, Crow looked at Bai Zhou with surprise, then nodded. "It seems, this is it!"
Crow quickly taught some kind of simple micro Ritual to Bai Zhou, "If you determine that there may be any abnormalities there, use this micro Ritual there!"
Following Crow's teachings, Bai Zhou's eyes flickered, and his eyes Celestial Pivot transformed almost immediately.
Under Crow's somewhat shocked gaze, Bai Zhou instantly fired the newly learned miniature Ritual.
"Buzz!"
There was no material or preparation required, not even Hand Seal. Just a few spiritual glimmers seeped out from the fingertips, intertwined and combined in mid-air, and a palm-sized rune mark was easily outlined.
Crow said that this Ritual was first used by the Hunter to illuminate the invisible hag in the depths of the swamp, and was later improved into a general-purpose small trap detection technique.
Because they soon discovered that in those secret and dangerous places, the most dangerous thing is often not the anomaly, but the colleagues who always squat in the grass and make a profit.
Fortunately, this Ritual is a miniature Ritual. Even if it is not the real Ritualist, Hunter can be decorated with some effort and materials.
"Spiritual Light is a candle, illuminating illusions!" Bai Zhou recited silently, and then gently pushed the rune mark to the place where he noticed the abnormality.
Sure enough.
"Buzz----"
The rune mark formed by three or four points of spiritual interweaving, at the moment it touches the blurred straight line, it seems to be thrown into the water of stones, and there are circles of ripples visible to the naked eye in the mid-air that should be empty.
In the center of the ripples, a very thin straight line, almost invisible to the naked eye, appeared out of thin air. It was stuck diagonally between the corpse and the entrance to the secret room. The angle was extremely tricky. It was equivalent to the only way for people to approach the corpse, but it was stuck at the point where people had just walked past the entrance and just relaxed.
From the middle to both sides, extremely thin silk threads were found in mid-air, and then, two iron-gray flowers slowly bloomed at the upper and lower ends of the silk threads.
"What ----?"
Bai Zhou's pupils suddenly shrank, because the first moment he saw the two iron-gray flowers, the alarm from Life and Death Intuition almost immediately exploded throughout his body!
Danger!
Mortal danger!
These two "flowers" are more appropriately described as metal dumplings than flowers.
Countless metal wires that are much thinner than hair are densely folded and compressed together, one by one, one layer is nested inside another, each layer is densely packed with coils, and the intersections of the coils are all covered with barbs as thin as cow hair.
The tip of the barb glowed with Ghost Green light, like the venom hanging from the tip of a poisonous snake's fang.
These barbed and glowing compressed metal wire meshes seemed to be squirming all the time, as if they were desperately trying to proliferate and spread outside, but were restrained within a fixed range by some invisible force field, and finally turned into two iron-gray, shocking metal flowers.
"This is "Compression Lock" when setting Hunter to prevent it from exploding in advance."
Crow looked at the two metal flowers, as if seeing the beautiful Art Piece, his eyes sparkling.
, once these barbed wire meshes are compressed together, once the wire mesh is triggered, even if the wire meshing only produces abnormal vibrations, the two compressed barbed wire meshes will immediately explode, spread and proliferate, and the entire Safe House will be instantly submerged!"
"Not only that, Bai Zhou, look here----"
At Crow's reminder, Bai Zhou's eyes moved deep [Celestial Pivot], and he could see more details of these two groups of compressed barbed wire.
Behind the dense barbs, the surface of these tiny iron wires was engraved with dense runes. The runes squirmed and moved as if they were alive. The strange arrangement reminded Bai Zhou of disgusting herpes. One after another, the denseness made goose bumps explode on his arms.
What is even more shocking is that Bai Zhou also noticed that at the roots of those barbs, there were clearly connected vesicles that were so small that they were almost impossible to detect with the naked eye.
These vesicles are all covered in dark yellow liquid, with small, swimming things suspended in the liquid.
"Good stuff - really good stuff." Crow narrowed his eyes, "Hunter is really a genius in making this kind of composite trap!"
"Composite trap?" Bai Zhou looked over.
"The material of this metal wire is a special kind of Cursed Iron, with a lot of resentment on it. Among the Destiny Hunter at the level of Lifeforger, it is the most commonly used and extremely easy-to-use trap material."
Ya said softly, looking at the two iron flowers squirming in the upper and lower corners, his eyes seemed to be tasting two Art Piece worth admiring. "If you want to make this kind of Cursed Iron, you need to use iron wire to temper the special Threefold Death Grudge."
"The night watchman who dies before dawn, the mourner who dies after dusk, the executioner who dies at noon - three ways of death, three kinds of resentment."
Said, Ya shook his head coldly, "But if Cursed Iron is just compressed into a barbed wire trap, it wouldn't be so surprising."
"The real genius of Hunter, who invented this trap, is that he also improved Cursed Iron and combined it with another terrifying thing."
As he spoke, Crow's white and slender fingertips tapped twice in mid-air, pointing at the faint yellow vesicle at the bottom of the barb of the wire.
"This is it."
"Corpse Venom Honey, the holy land of Bounty Hunter, a specialty of the infamous Estuary Swamp"
"As long as you get even a little bit of it, your spirituality will be polluted. At the least, the spirituality in the body will collapse like crazy, as if Ordinary people are infected with the plague. At worst, it will be covered with pustules, die on the spot, and turn into a humanoid insect nest crawling with poisonous insects in the body!"
Afraid that Bai Zhou wouldn't understand, Ya added an additional explanation, "Generally speaking, the methods and materials used to set up traps are slightly different for each Hunter, so it is extremely laborious to dismantle the traps manually, and there is a very high risk if you are not careful."
"Instead of doing this, it would be better to directly trigger violent dismantling, just like the best way to crack the minefield, which is to explode it first with direct covering shelling."
"To deal with Cursed Iron compressed barbed wire traps, simply trigger them directly by increasing the distance. This method is often the most effective and is the inertia method used by old Hunter people."
"But----this won't work!"
Crow's eyes were focused on those densely packed yellow vesicles, and he seemed to have figured out its principle. "The moment the barbed wire trap is triggered, Corpse Venom Honey will splash on its own, and will spontaneously fly towards nearby living people, making it difficult to stop."
"At the same time, the poisonous mist explodes and corrodes spirituality, which is almost inevitable!"
"--Not only that, the power of combining Cursed Iron and Corpse Venom Honey is also extremely powerful."
"The latter specializes in dealing with spiritual beings, and the former can violently destroy everything, breaking defenses first and then killing people. The combination of the two doubles the power. An ordinary Lifeforger has absolutely no chance of surviving it!"
Ya Ningsheng said, "If it weren't for the skilled old Hunter, Two-Life Lifeforger would have overturned if he was not careful at the moment - even the top Lifeforger of Third Life would have suffered a lot and would be quite a headache!"
Three-Life Lifeforger doesn't work either?
Hearing this, Bai Zhou instantly shuddered.
His eyes fell into the secret room, looking at the two squirming metal flowers that looked extremely dangerous just by looking at them, and felt that they were breathing regularly.
The yellow vesicles at the bottom of those barbs opened and closed at an extremely slow frequency, like countless yawning mouths, and the green light on the barbs flickered on and off following the rhythm of this breathing.
"If I didn't find that line just now and went directly there -" Bai Zhou thought about it.
"As long as Compression Lock is triggered, the two barbed wires will pop open within 0.01 seconds, wrapping you up into a bloody rice dumpling on the spot."
Crow's tone was exceptionally calm, and he said words coldly that made Bai Zhou chill, "The screaming Cursed Iron will cut your flesh into pieces. Those resentments are best at breaking through the defense of mysterious means, and Corpse Venom Honey can kill Spiritual Light."
"Then, the larvae in those vesicles will squirm unimpeded along the wound, lay eggs crazily in your blood vessels, and destroy every inch of your flesh and blood."
"Fill it all up!"
Crazy laying eggs to fill up with flesh and blood?
After trying to imagine such a scene, Bai Zhou immediately felt chills.
"So now----can this trap still be dismantled?"
Bai Zhou inquired seriously through Ritual of Heart-to-Heart Connection. Looking at these two shocking Cursed Iron Traps, I felt a little worried for a while.
"Although such a trap has some good ingenuity,"
Faced with Bai Zhou's inquiry, Ya was silent for a moment, then shook his head.
She raised her chin slightly and asked, "But, who do you think I am?"
Saying the words that made Bai Zhou breathe a sigh of relief, Crow frowned slightly and changed the subject, "But----for you, even with me here, it is not easy to dismantle the trap."
"Even if you make a small mistake, the trap will be triggered on the spot - I can guide you from the side, but you still need to maintain Surgical Scalpel-style accuracy throughout the entire process of bomb disposal."
"This is really a big test for you----"
As he spoke, Yao turned to look at Bai Zhou, looking up and down at the appearance of the young man Demon Doctor, with a hint of expectation and teasing in his eyes:
Can you do it, Xiaobai Doctor?"
"What noob Doctor----" Bai Zhou muttered in his heart.
Then, a red and white Surgical Scalpel appeared in his hand with a buzzing sound."
I can only give it a try."
As if undergoing an operation, even more stressful than the last operation on Evening City, Bai Zhou performed the first bomb defusing in his life - or in other words, deactivating a trap.
Fortunately, there are no outsiders to disturb me here, Bai Zhou has plenty of time, and Crow is there to guide me throughout the process.
Not only that.
Bai Zhou still has a trump card.
What is surgery or not? Novice Doctor cannot guarantee a steady hand, so he might as well cheat.
Please come to God!
Under the particularly strange gazes of Fang Xiaoxia and Crow, Bai Zhou took out a white garland of small white flowers from his arms as if nothing had happened.
Very beautiful, very pure, very cute, with a unique Maiden heart.
Then, ignoring the strange looks from the two people, Bai Zhou put the garland on his head seriously [Daydream Wreath]
[A special garland made of Previous Civilization mysterious flowers that can make people fall into Daydream, and woven with the firm belief of Ms. Doctor.]
[The psychedelic flowers are supposed to induce people to sink, but they are used by doctors to cut off real nightmares.]
[The wearer can temporarily obtain the precious pure heart of a doctor, inherit all the medical skills of a certain Miss Doctor, and receive the blessing and help of Miss Doctor,]
"Buzz!"
At this moment, as if Dr. Zhang was possessed, Bai Zhou's eyes became extremely calm.
Crow was at his side giving guidance, Dr. Zhang was beating on his behalf, um, and Fang Xiaoxia was cheering behind him.
At this moment, Bai Zhou is not fighting alone.
Surgical Scalpel's blade flashed a faint cold light at his fingertips. In a daze, Bai Zhou heard a familiar female voice ringing cleanly and faintly in his ears.
She said, "Surgery begins!"
5
, twenty minutes later.
"Kaba----Kaba----"
Bai Zhou, wearing a pure white wreath on her head and sweat beads on her forehead, carefully held two squirming metal iron flowers in her hands. From time to time, there were several crisp sounds of squirming metal coming from the iron flowers.
While he took a deep breath, his heart was beating fast again.
First of all, the trap has been dismantled, and the secret room hiding the corpse can be ensured to be safe.
Now, he can carefully study the secrets in the corpse and plan his special attack on King of Lustful Evils.
Based on the experience just now, Bai Zhou is almost certain that [Predecessor] Sloth has not touched this corpse, and with such a terrifying trap near the corpse, it must be carefully guarding something.
The secret being watched by countless Destined One must be hidden in this secret room, or on this corpse!
-Secondly, these two terrifying compound traps were lying quietly in his hands at this moment.
Even for Bai Zhou at this moment, there is no secret at all - even if there is nothing here anymore and only these two Cursed Iron Wire Mesh Trap are obtained, his trip will definitely be worthwhile!
Because, according to Crow's description, this is a terrifying trap that can kill Lifeforger with a high probability of killing Two-Life Lifeforger, and can even cause considerable trouble to Three-Life Lifeforger!
Make a lot of money!
At this moment, Bai Zhou thought of Blood Worship Cult Holy Son, the principal whose position was unclear and a great threat, and also thought of more possible strong men in Blood Worship Cult, as well as many more people he might need to deal with----
No matter how I think about it, I feel----
This thing will be of great use in the future!
"Tsk."
Bai Zhou grinned.
"What a good thing!"
The young man smiled extremely brightly, showing his white teeth, and couldn't help but express the same emotion and admiration as the crow when he first saw the trap.
But, for some reason, I saw Bai Zhou's bright smile and those big white teeth----
Bai Zhou watched the bomb disposal next to him throughout the whole process. Maiden Fang Xiaoxia, who was so nervous that he didn't dare to take a breath, couldn't help but shudder inexplicably.
Whenever Bai Zhou shows such a bright smile that is harmless to humans and animals, Fang Xiaoxia will clearly realize----
Someone is in trouble!
