Ambush

Someone else cleared land in the Qiu Luoye's Territory, less than a mile from Li Banfeng and Ma Wu's Land Block.

Ma Wu looked helpless.

Li Banfeng looked confused.

He couldn't understand the attitudes of the Qiu Luoye and the Shui Yongquan.

Previously, the two Local Earth God had gone to war over the land reclamation workers, which puzzled Li Banfeng.

Now, the Qiu Luoye are about to erupt in anger over the pioneers' actions.

Are pioneers really that important?

"Fifth Brother, why does the Local Earth God care so much about those who pioneer the land?"

Ma Wu rubbed his chin and said, "I've seen this in a book before. The book does say something like that, that where there are people, there are gods. But the book doesn't explain why."

"Where there are people, there are gods"—this was the first time Li Banfeng had heard this saying.

Ma Wu couldn't think of a solution, "Lu Xiaolan is currently clearing land in Qiu Luoye's Territory. If Qiu Luoye protects her, things will get complicated."

Li Banfeng also found it troublesome. "Lu Xiaolan was able to think of this, so she probably had someone guiding her behind the scenes."

Ma Wu stood up and said, "No matter who's behind her, we can't let her plant a thorn in our side. I'll start keeping an eye on her from today onwards. As soon as Lu Xiaolan shows her face, I'll take care of her immediately."

That evening, Ma Wu, along with Little Chuanzi and Aqin, hid near the Land Block that Lu Xiaolan had reclaimed, according to the pre-arranged ambush location.

According to Ma Wu's plan, regardless of whether Lu Xiaolan participates in land reclamation or becomes a landlord, she should be killed before she enters the Land Block.

The first day passed, and Lu Xiaolan was nowhere to be seen. Only a few pioneers entered the Land Block.

Lu Xiaolan did not clear the land herself; she hired people to do it.

Ma Wu really wanted to kill all these pioneers, but Aqin stopped him.

"Fifth Son, if you kill every pioneer you see, isn't that just provoking Qiu Luoye?"

Ma Wu also knew he couldn't do that.

If you want to kill Lu Xiaolan in the Qiu Luoye's Territory, you must be precise in your move.

Little Chuanzi suggested, "Why don't we wait until the land clearing is finished before we start?"

Ma Wu frowned and said, "Once the land reclamation is finished and she sees us, she'll hide back in her Land Block. It'll be even harder to make a move then."

"When we hire people to clear the land, the landlord often comes to check on things, and sometimes we have to throw some water, rice, and herbs into the Land Block. I reckon Lu Xiaolan will show up in the next couple of days."

For three days, Ma Wu stayed in the wilderness to clear the land, but Lu Xiaolan did not show up.

Little Chuanzi also stayed with him, which wasn't too hard, but Ma Wu had to cultivate every day, and Xiao Chuanzi had to watch over him, listen to him, and keep watch, which was a bit difficult.

Over three days, three Wandering Monster came to test the skills.

These three Wandering Monsters are quite powerful, so it can't be said that Qiu Luoye went easy on them.

But all three Wandering Monsters were defeated.

The first Wandering Monster was a scorpion; its pincers could snap a tree as thick as a bowl in two.

The scorpion went into the ground and didn't come out; it must have died inside. Ma Wu didn't know the specifics of the battle.

The second Strange Monsters was a Bamboo. This Bamboo stalk lasted the longest, enduring a whole day, but in the end, it was worn down and lost.

The third animal to enter the Land Block was a deer. This deer stayed in the Land Block for a whole day, but she was in worse condition than the Bamboo. She had a broken antler and walked out of the Land Block in a daze.

Ma Wu noticed something amiss.

He had seen this method of land reclamation before.

Ma Wu knew who was clearing the land inside.

"Private Detective Dabo Ensi! This is his usual tactic: first, lay spider webs on the Land Block, then hide himself, wait for his prey to be entangled in the webs, then launch a surprise attack with venom, and then win in one blow."

This was Dabo Ensi's signature skill and the foundation that made him a pioneering expert.

Dabo Ensi's venom is most effective against similar animal species, especially insects; scorpions will inevitably die in spider webs.

However, his tactics were not very effective against plants, so the Bamboo held out until the end. Plant-type Strange Monsters were also the kind of creatures that Dabo Ensi least wanted to encounter.

Even with this Bamboo, Dabo Ensi still managed to clear the land; that's his skill.

Three days have passed, and as dawn breaks, the land reclamation has been successful.

If Lu Xiaolan is the owner of the Land Block, she should show up by now; she needs to come and inspect the Land Block.

As he thought about it, Ma Wu suddenly felt a chill and looked at Aqin beside him.

Aqin is Ma Wu's strongest fighter, but her original form is a cricket. Although her cultivation is one level higher than Dabo Ensi's, she is likely to be restrained by Dabo Ensi's.

Little Chuanzi was a construction worker on the first floor, responsible for setting traps around the ambush site. However, he was not very helpful when it came to actually fighting the enemy.

The clearing is over, Dabo Ensi can leave the Land Block at any time.

If we were to actually encounter Lu Xiaolan now, it's uncertain who would kill whom.

"Let's go back first." Ma Wu reacted quickly and immediately left the hiding place.

As the four men stepped out of their hiding place, a spider web tripped Ma Wu, causing him to stumble.

Dabo Ensi already laid an ambush?

"Don't move." Aqin helped Ma Wu up, squatted down, and looked around. She was trying to determine where Dabo Ensi was hiding when she suddenly heard a woman's voice.

"Fifth Brother, you were looking for me."

Lu Xiaolan!

Ma Wu's hair almost stood on end.

I never expected that after waiting for Lu Xiaolan for three days, she finally arrived, but she scared Ma Wu like this.

Little Chuanzi took out five flares and broke them one by one. He kept breaking them until the fourth one finally went off.

A flame shot into the sky, but is it too late?

Ma Wu shouted, "Aqin, hurry!"

"Fifth Son, don't rush!" Aqin grabbed Ma Wu and jumped to the side. A ball of spider silk shot over. Ma Wu dodged it, but Little Chuanzi couldn't and was tied up like a dumpling by Dabo Ensi's.

"Chuanzi!"

Ma Wu wanted to go back to rescue the people, but Aqin stopped him, saying, "Don't move! There are spider webs all around!"

Wasn't the Land Block just developed?

Dabo Ensi should have just come out.

How did he get here so quickly?

Doesn't it take him time to contact me?

He already knew where I was hiding?

Aqin squatted on the ground, her two antennae on her head swaying back and forth, seemingly unaware of where the enemy was.

In fact, Aqin had already seen Dabo Ensi's, but she was just pretending to look around for him.

Dabo Ensi was right above them, a spider silk slowly descending.

Aqin can now climb the tree and fight Dabo Ensi, but after Dabo Ensi has been in the tree for a while, the tree will surely be covered in spider webs.

The best way to kill Dabo Ensi is to keep him away from the spider webs.

Without making a sound, Aqin lowered her two front hands to the ground, quietly moved her two middle hands to her waist, pulled out two Shuttle Dart, and gathered strength in her two hind legs, ready to jump at any moment.

Her tactic was to first ambush Dabo Ensi with Shuttle Dart, forcing him to dodge, and then intercept and kill him in mid-air once Dabo Ensi left the treetops.

The tactic was very clever, but the moment Aqin pulled out the Shuttle Dart, it made a slight sound.

The sound of the Shuttle Dart rubbing against the dart pouch.

The sound was very soft, but it did not escape Lu Xiaolan's ears.

"She saw you!"

This is the most disgusting part of fighting against the spy. Any movement will be observed by the spy. But even now, Ma Wu still doesn't know Lu Xiaolan's location.

Dabo Ensi got there first, hanging from a spider's web, and left the treetop.

Aqin was forced to change tactics and jumped directly to intercept the enemy in mid-air.

As they flew into the air, Dabo Ensi was clearly slower than Aqin. As the two closed in, Aqin drew her short knife and was about to slash Dabo Ensi when she was suddenly struck from behind. Aqin's body plummeted and landed on the ground.

Who ambushed Aqin?

Cluck cluck cluck!

The other party didn't make a move, but rather used their tongue.

Zhuo Yuling is under the tree!

She stuck out her tongue and struck Aqin on the back, pulling Aqin down from mid-air.

As soon as Aqin landed, Zhuo Yuling twisted her waist, swung the peach, and its long tail pierced directly at Aqin.

This is Zhuo Yuling's killer move, which can easily pierce through Aqin's body.

Aqin stepped on Zhuo Yuling's tongue, jumped up again, and barely dodged.

Zhuo Yuling swung her long tail and continued the chase.

Aqin acted first, and a Shuttle Dart struck Zhuo Yuling's peach.

That was a perfect shot; the peach was perched high, and the Shuttle Dart hit the bullseye.

Zhuo Yuling was in excruciating pain, and her tail veered off course. Aqin escaped unharmed, but was bitten from behind by Dabo Ensi's.

After taking that bite, Aqin felt weak all over and collapsed to the ground, shouting to Ma Wu, "Fifth Son, run!"

Can they escape?

With Aqin protecting him, Ma Wu still has a chance to escape. Now he can only try to buy time and wait for someone to see the signal cannon and come to his aid.

Zhuo Yuling pulled the Shuttle Dart out of the bullseye. The Shuttle Dart had barbs, and it pulled out a large piece of flesh and blood.

This minor injury was nothing to her. Ma Wu's gaze suddenly swept across Zhuo Yuling's eyes, and he used his charm to force her blood to flow downwards.

Puff!

The bullseye bled.

Zhuo Yuling gasped in shock, covering her mouth. She hadn't expected Ma Wu to have such a ruthless tactic. The more agitated she became, the more blood she spat out. For a moment, she could hardly stand.

Dabo Ensi spat out spider silk and wrapped it around Ma Wu.

Ma Wu couldn't dodge and was also tied up like a rice dumpling.

Dabo Ensi approached Aqin, intending to negotiate slowly.

Aqin is poisoned, like an insect trapped in a spider web, with almost no chance of escape.

Moreover, her every move was under Lu Xiaolan's surveillance.

Don't think that Lu Xiaolan can't attack; she is extremely skilled in martial arts and also possesses Spiritual Object and magical treasures.

In this situation, the battle is over.

Dabo Ensi only needs to wait a little longer, until the poison takes effect by 10%, and then he can kill Aqin without fail.

In her dizziness, Aqin still wanted to rescue Ma Wu, but she couldn't think of a way.

In their despair, they suddenly heard Lu Xiaolan shout, "Hurry up and act! Someone's coming!"

Just as Dabo Ensi was about to finish off Aqin, he suddenly felt the ground tremble.

"Who's here?" Dabo Ensi was very sensitive to the vibrations.

Lu Xiaolan observed for a moment and said, "It's a raincoat moth, hurry up and do it."

Bag moth...

Dabo Ensi's eight eyes blinked together, and his eight legs trembled together.

His body began to convulse uncontrollably.

Zhuo Yuling covered the peach and said, "Da Binzi, what are you waiting for? Hurry up..."

Ma Wu stared at Zhuo Yuling for a moment, and Zhuo Yuling's heart bleeds again.

At the same time, Dabo Ensi leaped up, ignoring everyone else, and quickly disappeared into the night fog.

"Da Binzi, Spider Bin!" Zhuo Yuling called out several times, but there was no response.

The bagworm is getting closer and closer.

There's another person who runs faster than a moth and is coming soon.

"Mother, what should we do!"

"Let's go!" Zhuo Yuling grabbed Lu Xiaolan and disappeared into the night.

Li Banfeng arrived quickly and tore the spider silk off Ma Wu and Chuanzi.

Yanzi arrived too, looked at Aqin, and sneered, "Useless woman, what use is it for your brother to bring you here?"

Aqin was too weak to argue and lay on the ground, unable to get up.

Ma Wu looked at Li Banfeng and lowered his voice, saying, "Someone betrayed me. There's a mole on our turf!"

P. S.: Who is the mole?
