Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World - Chapter 16406

Chapter 16404: Falling for a Trap

General Li and the cultivators attacking the mountain from the side quickly noticed something amiss. They had dug very deep, almost completely breaching the area protected by the Earth-Fixing Technique, but still hadn’t reached the Blood Slaughter Sect’s underground base, much to their astonishment.

Finally, General Li suddenly realized that the soil below had become abnormally soft after they used the Mud-Softening Technique, almost like silt. General Li was startled and immediately exclaimed, “Something’s wrong, the Earth-Fixing Technique is gone!”

The others also noticed this, which surprised them even more. They had assumed the enemy was protected by the Earth-Fixing Technique, but now that they had dug through the area covered by it, they found no enemy there—this was extremely strange.

Just then, they heard several sounds of earth churning around them. They immediately looked over and saw people from other divine kingdoms had dug through the area. Those people also saw General Li and his group, and they all looked at each other, momentarily stunned.

Just then, General Li suddenly sensed something was wrong. He immediately said, “Something’s not right. Why don’t we see anyone digging upwards from below? Where are they?”

Everyone was stunned upon hearing this, then they all looked at each other blankly, unable to react for a moment. General Li then spoke up, “Quick, dig downwards! We’ve been tricked! The enemy used this area to deceive us. Their real base is still down below. Dig downwards quickly, otherwise, those digging upwards from below will be in danger!”

Hearing this, everyone realized what was happening. When they saw the Earth Solidification Technique, everyone’s initial reaction was that the Blood Slaughter Sect’s base was within the area protected by the Earth Solidification Technique. However, they hadn’t realized that the reality was different. The area covered by the Earth Solidification Technique was solid, not the Blood Slaughter Sect’s real base. The Blood Slaughter Sect’s real base was located further down, and they had used that base to attack those attacking from the foot of the mountain.

Everyone’s expression changed. They immediately began digging, but after only a short while, they felt the ground solidification spell again. This made them even more anxious, and they immediately increased their digging speed.

After digging for a while longer, they finally felt a gap and discovered that they had entered a new area. There were spaces and passages here; this should be the Blood Slaughter Sect’s base.

General Li and his group were stunned when they appeared here. They immediately looked around because they didn’t find a single enemy. At this moment, more and more people arrived in this space. General Li immediately said, “Search! If you see anyone from the Blood Slaughter Sect, kill them without mercy.” Everyone responded, and then they immediately began to fly in all directions, directly entering the passages.

However, when they entered the passages, they were stunned. They found that the passages were very narrow, allowing only one person to pass at a time. There were also some small holes in the walls of the passages, the purpose of which was unknown. They had no choice but to move forward in a single file.

Just as they all entered the passage, countless flying swords suddenly shot out from the small holes on both sides, piercing straight at them. These people didn’t even have time to react before being instantly killed. Those following behind, who hadn’t yet entered the passage, stood frozen in place. They now understood the purpose of those small holes—

to attack them. What should they do? They were at a loss. Moving forward meant entering the passage, and if more flying swords emerged from the holes, they would be in grave danger. Therefore, they dared not advance any further.

At this moment, a kingdom-level expert flew over. Seeing their reaction, he asked, somewhat puzzled, “What’s wrong?”

Everyone turned to look and saw a kingdom-level expert. They immediately bowed to him, and one of them explained the situation with the passage to the expert. The expert walked to the entrance of the passage and carefully looked inside. Upon seeing the corpses on the ground, their brows furrowed. Then, he suddenly said, “Attack the cave walls to widen them. Proceed cautiously.”

Hearing this, everyone’s eyes lit up, and they immediately responded. Then, someone used magic to attack the cave walls. They immediately discovered a problem: the cave walls were also protected by earth-solidification magic. Breaking through the walls would not be an easy task.

Everyone was stunned, unsure what to do. Even the kingdom-level expert frowned upon seeing this. Frankly, he hated the Earth Solidification spell, but had no better solution. He tried attacking the cave wall with a slime spell, but the effect wasn’t great; the cave wall seemed largely unaffected. He frowned

again, then suddenly said, “Anyone with magical artifacts, release them and attack through those holes, see how it goes.”

Upon hearing his words, everyone immediately responded and released their magical artifacts, attacking through the holes. Since they couldn’t see what was behind the holes, they relied entirely on their senses. Soon, they realized their artifacts had struck people; the feeling of an artifact piercing a person was completely different from piercing space itself.

The next moment, countless magical artifacts flew out of the holes, scattering wildly. Some flew directly towards the cultivators, who hurriedly defended themselves. This seemed to give the other artifacts, as if they had found their target, also attacking them, and a fierce battle ensued.

Just then, the kingdom-level expert suddenly shouted, “Stop! Back up! Everyone, back up! Stop attacking! We’ve been tricked! Those magical artifacts were released by our own people!” He retreated as he spoke, and the others stared at him in surprise, confused and unsure of his meaning.

The kingdom-level expert immediately explained, “We’ve been separated by these passages. There are our people on the other side too. They probably saw the same thing as us, so they tried to attack through those holes, just like us. But they didn’t realize the holes on both sides are connected. That means our magical artifacts might have hit them, and theirs might have hit us. We’re fighting each other!”

Hearing this, everyone was stunned, then their expressions changed. This was indeed a possibility, but they weren’t sure if those attacking them were their own people.

At this moment, the kingdom-level expert spoke up, “There’s no mistake, because I just saw a magic weapon commonly used by our sect. That was released by someone from our sect.”

Everyone fell silent. They truly hadn’t expected such a thing to happen here. What were they supposed to do?

Then, a cultivator spoke up, “But elder, they were the ones who attacked us in the first place. Did they see those holes from the beginning and directly use magic weapons to attack them?”

The elder shook his head and said, “Of course not. There might be another space in this passage wall where people from the Blood Slaughter Sect are staying. They attacked the people on both sides of us. When they discovered the magic weapon attacking us from that hole, they naturally released their own magic weapon to attack the people in that hole. At this point, all they need to do is connect the two holes in the middle, and then we’ll attack each other.”

Thinking of this, he immediately transmitted his voice towards the direction of the hole, “The other side, stop attacking! We’re on the same side! We’ve been tricked by the Blood Slaughter Sect!”

Not long after his voice was heard, a voice came from the hole, “Who are you?”

“Windwalker Sect, Wang Qiang.”

“Fellow Daoist Wang, I am Liu Zong of the Rain Sword Sect.” After both sides introduced themselves, they ceased their attacks. Wang Qiang frowned as he looked at the passage. Passing through it was no easy feat. Although he had assured them they were all allies and wouldn’t be attacked, he couldn’t forget that members of the Blood Slaughter Sect might also be present. While the opposing side wouldn’t attack them, the Blood Slaughter Sect wouldn’t let them go. Therefore, traversing the passage remained extremely dangerous.

Wang Qiang glanced at the openings in the passage. He truly hadn’t expected that such a simple move had trapped them here, rendering them immobile. Meanwhile, a steady stream of Divine Kingdom cultivators were entering. If they remained here, the passage would soon overflow, rendering their large force useless.

Finally, Wang Qiang, having exhausted all other options, said, “Use defensive magic items to block the attacks from those holes. Charge through as fast as you can, and be quick!” The group was startled, then all responded, releasing their defensive magic items and rushing into the passage. However, the passage was only for one person, so they could only advance one at a time, slowing their pace.

Sure enough, as they entered the passage, magic items were released from the holes again to attack them. But these people were prepared and blocked the attacks with their defensive magic items. Although there were some casualties, they weren’t significant. As they charged forward, they were surprised to find that the passage was extremely long, and they couldn’t reach the end anytime soon, making them even more cautious. (End of Chapter)
