Chapter 548

Generally speaking, things Chen Ang predicted were accurate; he rarely judged incorrectly!

"If a group of people had been here, it would have been discovered long ago; why would there be a need for a detailed inspection?"

Chen Ang looked at Wan Shitong with a serious expression.

Then he added: "Besides, if there really were any fighting, would there be no signs at all at the scene?"

Hearing Chen Ang say this, Wan Shitong's hanging heart finally dropped.

"It's good that they are all fine..."

Wan Shitong muttered softly.

Just after saying this, Chen Ang, who was standing to the side, said: "Let's move."

"They should be here before long; we must clear away all the traps Especially Pei Cao set before they arrive."

Hearing this, Wan Shitong and Song Jing were both stunned.

They hadn't discovered the traps Chen Ang was talking about at all!

Both of them looked at Chen Ang and blinked in confusion.

Chen Ang, however, took action immediately and walked toward a certain position.

"Actually, as long as you observe carefully, you can find the traps he set."

Chen Ang said with a calm expression.

He was seen leaping into the air, jumping directly onto a tree, and then taking out the Zhenyue Divine Spear and waving it in the air.

Originally, Wan Shitong and Song Jing didn't understand what Chen Ang was doing at all.

But when the Zhenyue Divine Spear cut the transparent silk threads he had picked up, they knew that Chen Ang was indeed destroying the traps Especially Pei Cao had set!

As soon as the threads broke, a burst of tiny needles shot out from all directions.

Those needles were very small and not easily detected.

And the direction the needles attacked was all toward the same spot!

This meant that Especially Pei Cao would definitely lure people here, and this trap was set for those lured over.

599: Destroying the traps

"There really is a trap!"

Wan Shitong looked at Chen Ang with a surprised expression.

Song Jing, standing to the side, retreated a few steps in fear.

If it weren't for Chen Ang, Song Jing really wouldn't have seen this trap at all!

And now that they were here, there must be other traps!

If they were even slightly careless, they might very well die in the traps Especially Pei Cao set for others!

"Too terrifying, it's really too terrifying..."

Song Jing kept muttering softly. "He even dares to be this ruthless to his own kin!"

"He won't kill all of us here, will he?"

To say he wasn't afraid would be a lie!

But Song Jing clearly knew that no matter how afraid he was, he still had to follow Chen Ang!

As far as the current situation went, following Chen Ang was the relatively safer choice!

It's just that even this relatively safe choice was so terrifying...

"Why are you being such a coward? Can you be a bit braver?"

Wan Shitong looked helplessly at Song Jing, who was hiding behind him. "There are plenty of things like this; if you're scared like this by such a small matter, then what would you do if you really encountered a major event? Stand there and wait for death?"

When saying this, Wan Shitong couldn't help but recall what Teacher Xing Tian and Li Lao had said to them.

Never panic when encountering things; staying calm and thinking carefully about how to solve them is the most important thing.

In the past, Wan Shitong hadn't really cared much about these words.

Until now, when he met Song Jing.

Seeing Song Jing panic and be terrified by such a small matter, Wan Shitong, standing to the side, felt very disgusted!

This made Wan Shitong have to wonder, is this what the strong think when they are with them?

Hearing Wan Shitong's words, Song Jing was stunned.

"I..."

Song Jing said helplessly.

Then he adjusted his emotions and said: "Aren't you guys afraid? Not afraid at all?"

He didn't want to appear so cowardly either.

But the facts were just like that! Even if he tried to pretend to be calm, he couldn't.

"Is that what's important?"

Wan Shitong looked at Song Jing with a serious expression.

Then he added: "Can being afraid or not change anything?"

Hearing this, Song Jing was instantly stunned.

Wan Shitong continued: "It can't change anything; it will only let the enemy see your cowardice and make him more confident that you are no match for him."

"No matter how afraid you are, you have to stay calm; otherwise, how can you accomplish great things in the future?"

Wan Shitong said this very earnestly.

And these were words he had once said to himself!

Seeing that Chen Ang and Wan Shitong were both very calm, while he himself was shaking uncontrollably from fear, Song Jing also began to adjust his breathing.

"You're right, I'm being too embarrassing like this."

Song Jing muttered softly.

Wan Shitong, standing to the side, had already walked in another direction to start searching for any traps Especially Pei Cao might have set that Chen Ang hadn't discovered.

Seeing this, Song Jing also became serious and followed them to search.

In a short while, the three of them had already cleared all the traps Especially Pei Cao had set.

"They should be here before long; let's just wait here."

Chen Ang looked at Wan Shitong and Song Jing and said with a calm expression.

Hearing this, Wan Shitong and Song Jing both nodded and then hid to the side.

The surroundings became quiet again, and even the sound of breathing could be heard clearly.

Time passed bit by bit, and after waiting for a long time, no one came.

"Boss, will they really come?"

Wan Shitong said softly.

It wasn't that he was afraid of having worked for nothing.

It was that he was worried about whether something had happened to that group of people.

"Wait a bit longer; Wan Shitong, you should rest for a while; we'll have plenty to be busy with later."

Chen Ang looked at Wan Shitong with a serious expression.

Before, Song Jing had already said that he saw Especially Pei Cao had already taken action against that group of people, only that the group hadn't noticed.

Chen Ang guessed that even if Especially Pei Cao had some ability, he wouldn't dare to fight several demons alone.

So the method he used must have been one where problems only started to appear in their bodies after they had been fighting the demons for a certain amount of time.

This meant that Especially Pei Cao intended to reap the rewards of the fisherman!

That also meant that when that group of people arrived at this place, they would definitely be injured or physically uncomfortable and unable to fight.

And if they wanted to save this group of people, they not only had to fight the demons but also guard against Especially Pei Cao!

This was not an easy task to accomplish! They had to conserve their energy to have the strength to deal with it!

Hearing this, Wan Shitong also became serious. "Mm, understood, Boss."

Just after saying this, the sound of faint footsteps could be heard not far away.

"Shhh-shhh-shhh—"

Not far away, the sound of grass and leaves being brushed against rang out.

"Are the demons following us? If we flee this way, can we really escape?"

"I really didn't expect these demons to be so powerful; with so many of us, we still couldn't deal with them?"

"The demons shouldn't be able to keep up for a while; we are injured, but they didn't get any advantage either, but we still need to speed up and leave here; the demons' recovery speed is ten times ours."
