Chapter 140: Traps in the Oasis, Seeing Through the Trap
Chapter 140: Traps in the Oasis, Seeing Through the Trap
After repelling the desert bandits, Lin Feng and his companions continued their exploration of the oasis. Sunlight filtered through the leaves, creating patches of light that reflected off the ripples of the clear lake.
"This oasis is a great place. It would be great if there weren't those dangers." Li San said as he picked a leaf and played with it in his hand.
Wang Meng snorted: "Don't take it lightly, there might be some trouble waiting for us."
Zhao Xue observed her surroundings vigilantly: "Wang Meng is right, we can't let our guard down."
Ling'er gently stroked the lake water, feeling the coolness: "It's always right for everyone to be careful."
Lin Feng was walking in front and suddenly stopped: "Look, the flowers and plants here seem a little unusual."
Everyone gathered around and saw a colorful field of flowers. The flowers were gorgeous and tempting, but there was a faint strange smell around.
"This flower looks so beautiful. Is it poisonous?" Li San was just about to reach out to pick it.
"Don't move!" Zhao Xue shouted.
Just then, a slight rustling sound suddenly came from the flowers.
"Oh no, something's happening!" Wang Meng clenched his battle axe.
In an instant, countless vines sprang out from the flowers and attacked them like living things.
"Be careful!" Lin Feng swung his sword and cut off several vines.
Wang Meng swung his battle axe vigorously, cutting off the approaching vines: "What the hell is this!"
Ling'er quickly cast a spell, trying to control the vines: "This might be a trap to protect the oasis!"
Li San was so scared that he ran around: "Oh, help!"
Zhao Xue dodged the vines' attack while shouting, "Li San, stop running around!"
Lin Feng shouted, "Everyone gather together, don't disperse!"
Everyone quickly gathered together to resist the attack of the vines.
More and more vines appeared, coming like a tide.
"This is not a solution. We must find the source that controls these vines!" Lin Feng shouted.
Wang Meng panted: "Then let's go deeper into the flowers!"
Surrounded by vines, the crowd struggled to advance deeper into the flowers.
Along the way, Lin Feng kept swinging his sword, cutting off the deadly vines one after another.
"Ah!" Li San's feet were accidentally entangled by a vine and he was dragged to the ground.
"Li San!" Zhao Xue rushed over quickly and cut off the vines that were entangled with Li San with a dagger.
"Thank you, Sister Zhao Xue." Li San was still in shock.
Finally, they came to the center of the flowers and found a huge tree stump from which the vines grew continuously.
"It's here!" Lin Feng was ready to rush up and destroy the tree stump.
At this moment, the tree stump suddenly released a powerful force, forming a shield to protect the tree stump.
"What should we do?" Wang Meng said anxiously.
Ling'er thought for a moment: "Let me try to break this shield with a powerful spell."
Ling'er concentrated her energy, the light on her staff shone, and a powerful spell shot towards the shield.
"Bang!" A crack appeared in the shield.
"It works, keep going!" Lin Feng shouted.
Everyone cheered for Ling'er.
Ling'er cast a spell again, and the shield was finally broken.
Lin Feng rushed forward and slashed at the tree stump with his sword.
As the stump was destroyed, all the vines withered instantly.
"Finally solved!" Everyone collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath.
"It was really dangerous this time." Li San said with lingering fear.
"Everyone take a break and then move on." Lin Feng said.
After successfully escaping the attack of the strange vines in the oasis, Lin Feng and others sat on the ground and gasped for breath.
"This oasis looks beautiful, but I didn't expect it to be full of traps." Li San complained while rubbing his arm that was scratched by vines.
Wang Meng took a big gulp of water and said, "Humph, we have to be more careful."
Zhao Xue looked around, her eyes full of vigilance: "I don't know what I will encounter next."
Ling'er gently wiped the sweat from her forehead and said, "Don't be discouraged, everyone. As long as we unite as one, we will be able to deal with all kinds of dangers."
Lin Feng stood up and dusted himself off: "Let's go, let's keep moving forward and leave this troubled place as soon as possible."
They cautiously continued their exploration of the oasis. Sunlight streamed through the leaves, creating golden beams of light, but they had no time to admire the beauty.
"Everyone, watch your step. There might be hidden traps." Lin Feng reminded.
Suddenly, Li San felt his feet go soft, as if he stepped on something.
"Oh no!" he exclaimed.
Everyone became nervous in an instant.
"Don't move, Li San!" Lin Feng shouted.
Li San was so frightened that he dared not move and his face turned pale.
Wang Meng slowly approached and observed the situation under Li San's feet.
"It looks like a quicksand trap." Wang Meng said.
Zhao Xue frowned: "What should I do?"
Ling'er thought for a moment and said, "I'll try to use magic to fix the surrounding sand."
She began to chant a spell, and the staff in her hand emitted a soft light.
However, the sinking speed of the quicksand does not seem to be slowing down.
"No, the power of this trap is too strong." Ling'er said anxiously.
Lin Feng calmly analyzed, "Everyone, look around for branches or vines we can use. We can make a simple rope to pull Li San out."
Everyone acted quickly, searching for usable materials nearby.
"Found it!" Zhao Xue shouted, holding a thick branch in her hand.
Wang Meng handed one end of the branch to Li San: "Hold on, don't let go!"
Li San held the branch tightly, his palms full of sweat.
"Everyone, work together!" Lin Feng shouted.
Everyone worked together and slowly pulled Li San out of the quicksand.
"Huh, I'm finally out." Li San slumped on the ground, gasping for breath.
"Fortunately, there was no harm." Zhao Xue said.
Just when everyone breathed a sigh of relief, a sinister laugh suddenly came from all around.
"Hahahaha, do you think you can escape my trap like this?"
Everyone was startled and looked around.
"Who is it? Come out!" Wang Meng roared.
A figure slowly walked out of the woods. It was a mysterious man in black.
"None of you intruders will leave alive today," the man in black said coldly.
Lin Feng clenched the sword in his hand: "Who are you? Why did you set these traps?"
The man in black smiled and said, "This oasis is my territory. You have trespassed without permission and you will have to pay the price."
Wang Meng couldn't help but rush forward: "Stop talking nonsense, watch me deal with you!"
The man in black waved his sleeves lightly, and a powerful force pushed Wang Meng back.
"Wang Meng!" Zhao Xue shouted.
Ling'er quickly cast a healing spell to heal Wang Meng.
Lin Feng stared at the man in black and said, "We have no intention of offending you. We just want to pass through here."
The man in black snorted: "That won't do either. You must accept the punishment."
As he spoke, the man in black attacked again.
Lin Feng and others rose up to resist and started a fierce battle with the men in black...
