Normally, traps set by Survival Hunters disappear automatically after a certain duration.
Furthermore, if a second trap of the same category is set, the first one vanishes.
It was unexpected that this Survival Hunter, known as [Lu Fei Mei Wo Chang], could not only delay the detonation of traps but also detonate them at will. Even more impressive was his ability to set so many simultaneously.
Chu Tian mused that given enough time, this individual could create a veritable minefield, much like a bomb disposal expert during wartime.
It was a shame he belonged to the Slaughterer faction; otherwise, Chu Tian would have recruited him without hesitation.
With him, defending fortresses and towns would be twice as effective.
He could create a formidable defensive perimeter.
If utilized properly, he could single-handedly defend a city.
However, this was all contingent on him having sufficient time to set them up.
At this very moment, Chu Tian's peculiar transformed appearance had been noticed by those around him.
Upon seeing him, everyone was initially stunned.
Then, they all wondered inwardly, what kind of profession was this?
A werewolf? A hidden class?
However, these thoughts were fleeting.
They were soon caught in the snare triggered by Chu Tian's stepped-on trap and perished in agony.
"Don't move randomly... don't scatter!" the undead female mage shouted, directing her subordinates.
She assumed her own people were moving erratically and triggering the traps.
But Chu Tian noticed a hint of amusement in [Lu Fei Mei Wo Chang]'s eyes.
Chu Tian deduced that this hunter could not only delay trap detonations but also control whether a trap detonated or remained latent.
This person was formidable, truly remarkable!
A faint sense of crisis emerged in Chu Tian's heart.
True damage was quite significant to him.
If someone were to equip gear that dealt true damage and fought him...
He then shook his head; it wasn't that easy to acquire gear with true damage properties.
Just then, [Lu Fei Mei Wo Chang] also spotted Chu Tian.
The opponent was clearly taken aback, exclaiming in surprise, "m182631..."
In that moment of stunned surprise, he was struck by a shield bash from a nearby shield warrior.
He stumbled, and was then pinned directly by the shield of the next shield warrior.
Seeing this, the female undead mage yelled, "Kill him, don't hold back!"
She was clearly afraid. The traps were still detonating, and this time, they had suffered heavy losses.
With less than half of her subordinates surviving, the only way to neutralize these traps was to eliminate him. As long as he lived, they would have to pay a significant price to even retreat from the area.
Meanwhile, Chu Tian was also stunned when the other party shouted that series of numbers.
He didn't know what these people meant by that, nor did he pay it much mind.
But Chu Tian himself knew!
m182631 was his designation at the Ninth Branch Office.
Who was this person, and why did they utter his real-world designation while he was transformed?
In the next moment, Chu Tian decided that no matter who this person was, he had to rescue them first.
At present, he was pinned by the shield warriors' shields.
A circle of shield warriors simultaneously raised their main-hand weapons and hacked at him.
Trapped, [Lu Fei Mei Wo Chang] was completely immobilized, unable to even raise his weapon.
However, the shield warriors' attack power was pitifully low.
They couldn't directly kill him.
"Damn it, you damn shrew! Die... Detonate..."
Boom...
A more violent explosion than before erupted in an area Chu Tian had believed to be safe.
Flames spewed forth, and even the outer perimeter thundered simultaneously.
At the moment before the explosion, [Lu Fei Mei Wo Chang] mouthed words towards Chu Tian, who was rushing to save him.
Concurrently, Chu Tian instantly swapped his [Demon Hunter's Bone Tooth Necklace] for the [Scorching Necklace].
He activated the three-piece set bonus.
Using the skill: Scorching Defender!
After use, it lasts for 8 seconds, reducing damage taken by 20% during that period, granting immunity to one death, and restoring 100% health. (Cooldown: 3 days)
The next moment, Chu Tian's vision was obscured by a dazzling array of colors.
His entire body was flung backward by the shockwave emanating from beneath his feet.
System notification: You have died! Death Evasion has taken effect!
When he finally landed, his eyes were filled with horror. The Daifeng Novel.
Things had happened too quickly, and this guy had actually detonated all the traps.
He had taken them all down with him...
All that met his gaze was emptiness. Thousands of people had vanished.
[Lu Fei Mei Wo Chang] had also disappeared simultaneously.
And Chu Tian, after respawning, had died for the first time!
Although Death Evasion had taken effect, resulting in no losses for him,
The skill would only recover in three days.
However, this incident made Chu Tian fully realize.
He was not invincible.
In the Heavenly Dao world, everyone had opportunities, everyone had fortunate encounters.
Even with his maxed-out enhancements and several god-tier talents,
There were still those who could defeat him.
The Scorching Jewelry set and the Death Evasion skill were also his fortunate encounters.
One of his trump cards; without this skill earlier,
He would be in the graveyard right now!
However, he was unsure whether, after his death, he would respawn in a graveyard on this side,
Or be teleported back to the Survivor faction to respawn.
If he was teleported back, at least there would be no more danger.
But if he respawned here, it would be dire.
The graveyards on the Slaughterer faction side were all located within towns and villages.
If it were a lower-level village, it would be manageable.
With his high level and defense, he could fight his way out.
But if he respawned in a high-level town, or even a main city,
It would be truly disastrous.
He would be ambushed by guard NPCs at the graveyard, and his level would be reduced to zero.
However, he didn't know if the respawn method for the Survivor faction would be the same as for Slaughterer players.
Survivor faction players could perform corpse runs.
Whereas Slaughterer faction players would be directly teleported to the graveyard upon death.
The graveyards here were safe zones, with no NPCs nearby.
But beyond the graveyard's perimeter lay the town.
That would indeed be problematic.
Regardless, Chu Tian did not want to die.
There was no one around him anymore.
Recalling what [Lu Fei Mei Wo Chang] had said to him before detonating all the traps.
Although he hadn't heard it clearly, based on the lip movements, he deduced that the words were: North Town...
He had died from the explosion before he could finish speaking.
However, Chu Tian naturally knew that the other party was telling him the meeting location.
Similarly, he had many questions to ask that person.
But, at this moment...
However, seeing the equipment scattered all over the ground, Chu Tian's eyes lit up.
Getting the job done was the priority!
He began moving frantically.
No matter what it was, he scooped it all up.
The equipment from these people was quite good, with a significant portion being gold-grade equipment.
Chu Tian was almost overjoyed!
Although most of the equipment was marked as belonging to the Slaughterer faction,
That didn't prevent him from selling it!
Selling to Survivors or to Slaughterers, it was all the same.
Who cared who used it!
Gold coins were universal, weren't they?
