Do Not Offend the Reborn Wicked Wife-Chapter 537: Layers of Deadly Traps

"Senior Brother, are we still going in?"

Listening to the analysis, Yun Jin felt a chill in her heart; going in now was likely a matter of life and death.

Duanmu Nan said calmly, "Since we’re here, of course we should take a look! Junior Sister, you take Gouzi and leave. I’ll go in alone!"

"Senior Brother, since we’re going, let’s go together. If you go in alone, what are we doing outside?"

"Exactly, exactly, and besides, this place originally..."

Gouzi suddenly paused, lifted his head to look at him.

Duanmu Nan’s gaze was deep, and he said calmly, "Alright, let’s go in together!"

"Thud, thud, thud!"

A piece of bone was thrown, producing clear, crisp sounds against the ground. Then, swoosh, swoosh, swoosh—the whistling sound of arrows breaking through the air could be heard, launched from the gaps in the walls.

"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh—"

The arrows came wave after wave, without a break; they shot not only from the left and right sides but also from above and the ground below.

The scene was astounding, a complete 360-degree attack with no safe angle!

Not just Yun Jin and Gouzi, even Duanmu Nan showed a surprised look.

Earlier, he had been wondering whether this place had any connection to his family, but upon seeing this, he was 100% sure it was unrelated!

What the Duanmu Family mastered was entirely different, and moreover, this was too ruthless, giving no chance of survival at all. This kind of method really made people shudder.

"Senior Brother, what do we do?"

"Go, quickly, immediately!"

Gouzi suddenly shouted loudly.

Hearing his shout, Duanmu Nan focused his gaze and, without any hesitation, grabbed Gouzi and flew forward.

Yun Jin hurried to follow.

After passing this area, Yun Jin curiously asked, "Senior Brother, why didn’t anything happen when we walked by just now?"

"It’s simple. Once the trap triggers, it has to pause to reload, so there’s a vacuum time. We crossed during that time, so there was no problem!"

Gouzi rubbed his hand, which had been grabbed, and explained.

Yun Jin listened carefully, she indeed heard the sound of gears colliding.

She looked at him admiringly, "Little guy, I didn’t realize you knew so much!"

Gouzi looked smug, scratching the back of his head, chuckling, "Of course! Don’t forget, I have a talent for Mechanical Techniques!"

"Alright, you boastful brat, let’s move, hurry up!"

Yun Jin softly tapped his shoulder playfully.

"There’s another trap ahead, and it’s a number trap!"

Gouzi rubbed his shoulder, furrowing his little brow, he felt Yun Jin’s hand was too heavy, shaking his body.

But considering himself a man, if he couldn’t handle a woman’s strength, then he would be a waste.

Out of male pride, Gouzi bravely endured and walked in front of them, squatting down to inspect.

He pointed at the ground, "Look, there are interlaced patterns here; the ground is cut into squares. When people walk on them, due to different forces, the squares with weight will sink. If there’s a trap underneath, it triggers, then..."

He didn’t finish the sentence, but the meaning was clear—as soon as you step on it, if you step wrong, it’s a catastrophe with unknown consequences!

"Does this mean we can’t pass this obstacle?"

"No, unless there’s a layout map of the traps in this area; then we can easily cross."

Yun Jin was speechless, "But we don’t have one on hand!"

Would they have to stop here?

Gouzi shook his head and looked at Duanmu Nan, "Shall we bring out the map?"

"Can you ensure it can be solved?"

"Even if not, we can look at it; if I’m right, there may be clues on the map."

"Alright!"

Duanmu Nan handed over the map, letting him examine it.

Gouzi stacked the maps together and then carefully identified them.

"Ah, it would be great if there was fire; it’s too dark in here!"

"Whoosh!"

As soon as he spoke, the place lit up with fire, Yun Jin had brought many flints.

This wasn’t surprising; deep underground was sure to be dark, so flints were essential.

Under the flame, the place brightened significantly, and Gouzi held the map for comparison.

"As I said before, this map, when superimposed at different angles, will have different effects; look, directly superimposing it shows squares. If correct, this is the layout map of this area!"

"So, how do we determine it’s correct?"

"It’s simple, use a few bones to test and it will show."

Gouzi looked at something not far away, there were many scattered bones nearby.

No choice, as too many people had come here, leaving bones behind, so these so-called Scouts were abundant.

"Gouzi, there are scorch marks on this ground, meaning someone recently passed by and triggered a trap."

Suddenly, Duanmu Nan noticed a special mark in the distance, one of fire scorch, very noticeable!

Additionally, there’s a pile of ash.

What does this indicate?

It indicates someone was burned to death!

Realizing this, it truly shocked everyone!

"We have to be careful! Maybe the enemy is not far ahead of us!"

"Hmm!"

Meanwhile, Gouzi was already using several stones to probe.

However, no matter how he probed, the squares on the ground had no reaction, even when he specifically tested some areas with laid traps.

Yet, still, no movement!

This was strange.

"The trap is broken? It shouldn’t be, unless reaching the central control area; otherwise, the traps here do not break!"

"Then, there’s only one possibility left: the bones’ weight isn’t enough to trigger the trap! In other words, someone must step on it to trigger!"

Duanmu Nan pondered, "Also, at least a child’s weight!"

"Senior Brother, does this mean we have to walk according to what’s on this map? Even along unknown paths?"

"Hmm!" Duanmu Nan glanced at the ashes, "At least someone has tested parts of the route for us, don’t you think? Look here, here, and here; there are marks!"

With Duanmu Nan’s guidance, Yun Jin looked over, indeed, there were bloodstains, pieces of nails falling, definitely human traces, and places with burnt ashes, not just one or two spots!

She smiled, "This is predecessors planting the trees, and we simply reap the shade, having them explore ahead, it’s truly great!"

"Still, be cautious, for if they enter the control area first, we’ll be in danger!"

Gouzi reminded. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

When working with Mechanical Techniques, he was extraordinarily serious, it was an instinctual response.

"Let’s go!"

There were no more words to say, as everything depended on moving forward. Therefore, Duanmu Nan was the first to step onto the squares.
