Chapter 92: Trap

  "Alright, three days later, same place. You bring the No. 6 jade token and wait for me here. At that time, I will definitely bring the No. 32 jade token you need to exchange with you. On one condition, your information must be reliable."

  "You... acting alone?" Nineteen asked in surprise.

  "Since you're good at gathering intelligence, let's divide the work clearly. You go gather information and find out where the Jade Token is, I'll be in charge of retrieving it. Remember, if your intel is false, our cooperation ends here."

  Although No. 19 was warned by Qin Wusuo, he didn't take it seriously and instead felt secretly delighted. At least the other party had said so, and had already shown recognition of their cooperation.

  As long as his intelligence is strong, this cooperative foundation will definitely become stronger. Speaking of intelligence work, it's precisely his strongest suit.

  "Alright, three days later, if we don't see each other, then let's disperse!"

  Qin Wushuang smiled faintly: "Out of sight, out of mind. I hope that when the time comes, you and I will also be on the list of eliminated players led by King Akagami, hahaha..."

  Having said that, he strode away with big steps.

  "Where is Brother going?" Nineteen noticed from Qin Wushuang's tone that the person in front of him was absolutely not the rough and straightforward type he had shown himself to be earlier.

  On the contrary, the more he talked to him, the more unfathomable and profound he became. Just like the starry sky above his head, it made him feel that this person was not ordinary.

  "Let's go to that No. 25 place. Although the person didn't say much, I feel like there should be something good there. Anyway, wandering around aimlessly is pointless, having a target and direction is way better than randomly bumping into things."

  Qin Wushuang left behind a lingering echo, his figure already descending down the slope, disappearing from sight.

  Number Nineteen was stunned for a moment before coming back to his senses, thinking: "It seems that this collaborator I'm looking for is not ordinary. Fortunately, my interests and his do not overlap. Otherwise, it would be disastrous..."

  ……

  Qin Wushuang proceeded westward for about fifteen miles according to the location provided by No. 25, and indeed saw a mountain stream flowing slowly down.

  Across the mountain stream there is a gorge that enters between two mountains, looking quite deep and mysterious.

  Qin Wushuang stopped on this side of the stream and didn't rush to cross it. As the saying goes, "When you encounter a forest, don't enter; when you encounter water, don't cross." This is common sense for warriors.

  Although the opponent is just a martial arts child, being cautious is always right. Because there are too many unknown things in this world, having strong strength and confidence is not wrong, but any accidents should be avoided.

  Standing by the stream, I observed for a moment. Seeing that the water was flowing gently and the creek water was clear, you could see to the bottom. No one would be taller than knee-deep, there shouldn't be any mystery at the bottom of the water.

  As for the poisoning, the success rate of water-based poisoning can almost be ignored. However, it cannot be completely eliminated. Qin Wushuang reached into his bosom and pulled out a silver needle, probing for a moment, but the silver needle did not change color.

  This is definitely confirmed, this stream is absolutely fine.

  He didn't show off his strength at the moment, but instead quietly made his way past. He knew that No. 25 must be hiding in some corner observing him. This was not the time to reveal his true power.

  As expected, after fording the stream, a figure emerged from the mountain pass on the opposite side of the gorge. It was indeed Number Twenty-Five. The distance between the two sides of the small gorge was only about ten to twenty meters. With the abilities of any martial arts practitioner, they would have no problem jumping across.

  "Hehe, I knew you'd come." Twenty-Five smiled and waved in greeting.

  Qin Wushuang stopped in his tracks and used a warrior's intuition to feel the surroundings. He had a premonition that this person had arranged for him to meet here, and he must have had his own plans.

  "Cut the crap, where's your jade token?" Qin Wushuang bellowed coarsely.

  "Heh heh, don't be fooled, you want the sixth jade token from me, but I actually don't have it." The voice of Number Twenty-Five came from the opposite side.

  "Nothing?" Qin Wu's eyebrows slightly furrowed.

  "Ah, I was just there and said that there is a No. 6 Jade Token, actually it's to intentionally confuse them. Please forgive me. In fact, what I have is the No. 45 Jade Token corresponding to you!"

  Qin Wushuang did not rush to answer and was not furious either. Since the sixth jade token was in Tong Yao's younger brother's hands, this person definitely didn't have it.

  Why does he want to admit it now? Has he sensed that I have doubts about him?

  No matter what he's up to, if there's a No. 45 Jade Token, that's an unexpected delight.

  "Grandma's, I see you're going to cheat until when! Without the jade token, Young Master won't play along. You can slowly play by yourself." Qin Wushuang pretended to yield and turned his head to leave.

  "Hey big brother, don't be in a rush." Number Twenty-five hastily called out, "I'll let you see it. But first, you have to tell me what number your jade token is. If it's not suitable for me, I won't make the exchange."

  Qin Wushuang arrived here, with no one around, he didn't worry about being exposed. He took out the 26th jade token and placed it calmly in his palm.

  "See? Recognize the character? Number twenty-six! Corresponding to you, worth twenty points." Qin Wushuang didn't take it back, spreading it out in his hand, letting him observe.

  Twenty-five gazed intently, staring for a long time, swallowing the saliva in his throat, and muttered: "Indeed it's twenty-six, good, you wait here."

  A moment later, No. 25 turned out from the mountain pass, holding a jade card in his hand, also spreading it on his palm, and said: "Take a closer look, No. 45 Jade Card. Isn't that right?"

  This jade token can't be fake. Qin Wusuo nodded: "Alright, let's shout 'one two three' and throw it to each other, how about that?"

  If the other party is not playing tricks, then it's all for the better. He also doesn't want to stir up unnecessary trouble. However, his intuition tells him that this twenty-fifth one is definitely not a good person, and there might be more to come.

  Twenty-five shook his head: "No, if we throw at each other, no one can guarantee that after counting down, they will really throw it. What if one side throws and the other doesn't? That's troublesome."

  "What should you do?" Qin Wushuang sneered in his heart, if not for the tens of meters wide canyon lying between them, he would have been impolite long ago.

  Even so, he has been secretly brewing momentum and preparing for a surprise attack.

  "In this way, we each put our jade pendants in a safe place, then I go get yours and you go get the one I put away. How's that?"

  The more he is like this, the more it proves that he has ulterior motives. Qin Wushuang deeply felt that this person's city was deep, and across a ravine, he also found it inconvenient to act rashly, so he pushed the boat with the current and said: "Good, you let go first."

  Twenty-five nodded and muttered: "I'll go first."

  He said, walking fifty meters to the right and stopping. He squatted down and gently placed the jade plate on the ground. Then he stood up again and called out to Qin Wushuang from a distance: "You put the jade plate back in its original place, and we'll take turns walking. How about it?"

  Qin Wushuang kept staring at his every move, initially each step was very natural, but the final squatting action made Qin Wushuang secretly suspicious.

  Is it necessary to squat down just to put a jade pendant?

  Raise your head and take a look at the terrain over there, it's facing a dense forest on the mountain slope.

  Qin Wushuang secretly kept some thoughts to herself, but didn't reveal them. She burst out laughing and said: "You're really cautious, look carefully, the 26th jade token is placed here."

  Also learned to squat down, put the twenty-sixth jade plate down, and suddenly a smooth stroke, two more goose egg stones appeared in his hand, lightly tapping between his fingers.

  "Alright, now let's go step by step. I'll return to the starting point and you come this way. Only when we're near the Jade Plate can we jump over the valley."

  Twenty-five said, walking back along the original road.

  Halfway through, Qin Wushuang suddenly smiled strangely and his feet kicked out in succession. Several clods of earth were kicked by Qin Wushuang, flying towards the location of the Jade Tablet with a series of "pu" sounds.

  This lump of earth was as big as a bucket, and it fell on the jade plate with a loud "rumble" sound. In an instant, the area around the jade plate within a radius of five or six meters all sank in, and suddenly a large pit appeared.

  Twenty-Fifth had been keeping an eye on Qin Wushuang, and when he suddenly burst out, he knew something was wrong. Seeing how powerful Qin Wushuang's one kick was, he turned around and fled.

  Whoosh!

  Qin Wusuo's hand grasped the goose egg stone, which flew out into the air. With a piercing whistling sound, it shot straight into the back of No. 25's head!

  Hmph!

  The blood vessel burst open and blood spurted out like a fountain. Number Twenty-Five collapsed to the ground, instantly lifeless.

  Qin Wushuang did not take it lightly and did not rush to jump over. Instead, he picked up the soil on the ground and shot it continuously towards the surroundings of the big pit. As expected, where the stones arrived, from the dense forest opposite, swooshing sounds were heard, and countless bamboo spears and arrows flew out, shooting over like locusts.

  Suddenly, bamboo spears and arrows filled the surroundings of the big pit.

  Qin Wushuang secretly wiped a cold sweat. If he wasn't careful and let his guard down, this layered trap mechanism would be enough to get him killed.

  Unexpectedly, the twenty-fifth one turned out to be a master of mechanisms. From its appearance alone, even someone as skilled as Qin Wushuang couldn't detect any signs of traps or mechanisms.

  If it weren't for the twenty-fifth move just now that raised Qin Wushuang's suspicions, and he had simply passed by, the consequences would have been unthinkable...

  "What about that jade pendant?" Qin Wushuang's thoughts turned around, but he was more concerned about the 45th number jade pendant.
