Chapter 8 - Traps

The most curious people were Zhang Tao and his group.

Xu Hang's words might be the key to them leaving this "Magical Beast Forest"!

[ Damn it! Don't you know how to type?! Stop playing games! ]

Xu Hang remained silent.

Zhang Tao kept cursing until he finally got tired of it.

At the same time, the fat Lord's wounds were already tended.

They continued their journey.

After walking for two minutes, a tree fell from the sky in Zhang Tao's direction!

Fortunately, since he used to fight a lot, Zhang Tao managed to sense the danger.

Before the tree could hit him, he dodged to the side. However, he did not fully dodge it and was hit on the shoulder. 

The intense pain made Zhang Tao sweat. His shoulder was dislocated.

He accessed the world chat channel and started to curse again.

[ Zhang Tao: Xu Hang, come out! ]

[ Zhang Tao: You bastard! Why are there so many traps here?! ]

Xu Hang smiled to himself.

[ Xu Hang: It's the Beast Tide's spawn point. ]

Then he remained silent again.

[ Zhang Tao: Answer my question! ]

There was no response.

"Hey, flat-chested woman! Go and check if what Xu Hang said was true!"

Zhang Tao instructed one of the female Lords.

Although the woman was displeased by what Zhang Tao called her, she had no choice but to follow his order.

After checking the place, she still could not figure out anything.

[ Zhang Wuji: The Beast Tide spawn point is over there?! ]

[ What? I'm also near that place. It's over. I need to find refuge. ]

[ Brother, come over to my place. ]

The world chat channel became active again.

Zhang Tao finally understood why there were bears.

However, everything was made up by Xu Hang.

[ Xu Hang: I'm sorry. Since the spawn point is close to my castle, I laid some traps to protect myself. Brother, are you alright? ]

[ Zhang Tao: I'm fine. It's just that one of my comrades was injured by your traps. You have to take responsibility for it. ]

[ Zhang Tao: You better come and help us. Then, give me your car and the magic crystals. Only then I'll let bygones be bygones! ]

[ Pfft! How shameless! ]

[ Xu Hang: Okay, wait for a moment. ]

[ What a silly boy. They came to rob you and you want to help them in return? ]

[ No way, are you a monk? ]

[ Awesome! ]

[ This world is very cruel. I advise you to rethink your decision! Otherwise, you'll regret it! ]

The world chat channel was livelier than ever.

An hour passed.

[ Zhang Tao: Xu Hang, where are you? ]

[ Zhang Tao: Are you kidding me? You've made an enemy out of the wrong person. I swear, when I get out, I will definitely kill you! ]

[ Hahaha, Xu Hang is talented. ]

[ Their group is filled with idiots. Hahaha. ]

Zhang Tao stopped replying. He was tired.

"I'm not wasting my energy on this stupid kid anymore," said Zhang Tao as he gritted his teeth.

"Let's go. We have to charge through!"

After taking a few steps, they heard another scream.

The fat Lord fell into a trap again. It was exactly the same as before.

Zhang Tao and the others pulled him up again.

"No, no, no, we're gonna be stuck here forever!"

The fat Lord was in so much pain that he began to cry.

"I want to go home."

The others could only watch helplessly.

Two hours passed and it was already daylight.

Everyone was exhausted.

"Fatty, just bear with it. We still have to find a way out."

"No, no, no. Sob!"

"Fatty! Be a man and get up!"

"It's impossible! Sob!"

"You guys, give me a hand!"

"No! Ah!"

The fat Lord was brought up to his feet.

"Hey, there are no thorns in this trap. Hahaha!"

He accessed the world chat channel.

[ Thank you, Xu Hang. This trap doesn't have any thorns! ]

[ I love you, muah. ]

At the end of his sentence were dozens of loving emojis.

[ Had he gone insane? ]

[ Xu Hang is so scary. He's good at scheming. ]

[ I bet they had quite a miserable experience. ]

[ Miserable? What's the point? Wouldn't it be better if they died? They're not good people anyway. ]

Xu Hang sent a picture.

When people opened it, they saw two bears that were photographed from a very low angle.

[ Xu Hang: I'm afraid I'll die. There's no way for me to get away. ]

[ So he was held back by magical beasts. I guess we can't really blame him. ]

[ Zhang Tao merely had bad luck. ]

[ Xu Hang: You guys have reached an area where the traps have no thorns. Head southwest and you should be able to get out. ]

Zhang Tao and the others did not reply. They just followed Xu Hang's instructions and headed southwest.

An hour later, they finally got out!

[ We're out! ]

One of the plump women in Zhang Tao's group took and posted a selfie.

She was covered in mud. Her clothes were tattered. Yet, some people immediately took an interest in her.

[ You're really beautiful. ]

[ Do you lack allies? ]

[ Hey, come to me. I will protect you. ]

[ Beautiful lady, I love plump women. You definitely won't regret being with me. ]

The world channel was quite lively.

There were also people who analyzed the situation.

[ I guess Xu Hang was really an ordinary noob. ]

Everything was going according to Xu Hang's plan.

He wanted everyone to ignore him!

It was great. 

Basically, people believed that there was a magic beast spawn point nearby and this group of invaders lost because they had fallen into the traps. It had nothing to do with Xu Hang and he was indeed a silly noob.

Now, no one would bother him anymore.

"I'm really smart, hahaha."

Xu Hang laughed out loud.

Meanwhile, at a level 2 castle more than a thousand miles away, a few Lords were sitting at a round table and having a meeting.

They were all dressed in black.

"Tell me, what do you think?"

"Xu Hang is smart, strong, and shrewd!"

"Zhang Wuji is trash."

All of them discussed the details of the battle that had occurred.

One person in this group was actually a witness. He had been hiding nearby and saw everything that unfolded!

They started to laugh.

"Killing someone by making them go insane? How terrifying, hahaha!"

"Should we rope him in?"

"Let's observe first before making any decisions. Even Ka Bao doesn't know how to hide his combat power points."

"Understood!"

The battle came to an end.

Xu Hang moved on with his life.

Zhang Tao and his group never showed up in the world chat channel anymore. There was no news of their deaths either. They probably could not get over the shame.
