Chapter Ten: The Trap

  When Liu Tao and others ran to the distant hillside, Huoyao Ge strongly demanded that everyone appreciate the incredibly powerful trap he had set up. Everyone had no choice but to hide and wait for the little ghost to appear. Looking at Huoyao Ge's confident appearance, heaven knows whether the trap he set up would be successful or not.

  Zuo Caiyun now needs rest.

  The swallow is full of expectation.

  Liu Tao's face was painful. He shook his head secretly, thinking "After the hand grenade is pulled out of the fuse, it takes several seconds to explode. Those little devils are all old soldiers on the battlefield, and they may not be so easy to blow up. Maybe they'll return those two hand grenades to the little devils. Ah, what a pity my hand grenades are."

  Dozens of little devils emerged from the forest on the edge of the open space. They quickly discovered the devil's corpse on the open space. Next to the corpse was a pile of bonfires that were about to go out, emitting a faint smoke. The leader of this team, Kohei, waved his hand and two little devils rushed out of the forest along the edge of the open space for a search. The others hid and entered combat mode. The searching little devils did not find any suspicious situation. After giving a safe gesture, they made a safety alert around them.

  Kozaburo Ozawa, the trusted aide of County Town's Ghost Captain Noda, notorious for his cunning and craftiness, led the remaining little ghosts to the corpse. After a brief glance at the ghostly body, his face turned pale, and he whispered: "How is this possible? What happened?"

  Koizumi Kojiro flipped over a corpse with an unnatural posture. A hissing sound emerged, and smoke rose from the hand grenade under the body. Koizumi Kojiro sneered coldly and quickly picked up the grenade, throwing it towards a place where no one was present. Then all the devils immediately fell to the ground.

  Liu Tao saw such a result and felt relieved, whispering: "Although it's a bit of a waste, at least we didn't give it back to the little devils."

  Swallow and Zuo Caiyun looked at Huo Yao with disappointment on their faces.

  Fireworks brother is still smiling. Only by simply resolving this hand grenade can the little devil's nerves be paralyzed, and the real killer move may succeed.

  The hand grenade that Ozawa Jiro was thrown to a distance exploded with a loud "bang". Ozawa Jiro, who was lying on the ground, sneered and laughed: "I thought I had encountered an expert, but it turned out to be just a child's plaything. With such skills, how could you possibly launch a sneak attack on our Great Japanese Imperial Army? Haha......"

  A little devil suddenly pounced on the self-satisfied Kohei Sawara. Just as he was about to scold, the "bang bang" sound of hand grenades exploding again rang out. The rubble next to the smoldering bonfire was blown into the air. The little devil on Kohei's body had its head pierced by shrapnel. A little devil lying nearby let out a painful wail and rolled around on the ground.

  "Yea!" Fireworks Brother made a victory gesture.

  Swallow said more excitedly than Huo Yao: "I knew my brother would definitely make it."

  Liu Tao and Zuo Caiyun couldn't help but look at Huo Yao in a new light. In this short hour, Huo Yao had already done two things they couldn't have imagined.

  Koizumi wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. While blaming himself for being reckless, he couldn't help but admire the cleverness of the person who set the trap. It wasn't until later that he realized what had happened. When he flipped over the corpse, the tripwire tied to its clothes was triggered. Just as the hand grenade under the body was about to explode, he hastily picked it up and threw it away, accidentally pulling out a vine that grew all over the mountain. The vine pulled out the fuse of the grenade buried under the rocks. The smoke from the bonfire conveniently covered up the evidence of the grenade. If someone hadn't protected him, he would have died many times over by now.

  Koizumi Tsuguo only now remembered the person who saved his life. Turning over the corpse on top of him, he saw that it was a good friend from his hometown. There was a hole the size of a sake cup on his forehead, with red and white matter flowing out. Koizumi Tsuguo stood up, his face pale as iron, and commanded: "The wounded will wait for support in place, the others will continue to pursue. Advance at full speed."

  Liu Tao saw the little devil rushing towards them again and hurriedly urged everyone to run quickly.

  The swallow said, "What's the big deal? It's just a few dozen little devils. What's there to be afraid of? My brother and I, just the two of us, fought against dozens of devils and puppet soldiers the day before yesterday. We even eliminated over a dozen of them. And now we have four people."

  "Really?" Liu Tao asked in surprise.

  The swallow said with great satisfaction: "Of course."

  Liu Tao said firmly, "But these are not ordinary devils' soldiers. If they were, our comrades we escorted wouldn't have been reduced to just me. Moreover, Comrade Zuo Caiyun's safety is the most important thing right now."

  Zuo Caiyun was already exhausted. She heard Liu Tao's words and thought of her fallen comrades. Her body seemed to be filled with strength again, and she silently vowed "I must persevere, I absolutely cannot let my comrades' sacrifices be in vain."

  Huo Yao Ge is now very excited. He can perform in front of the beauty, so he's happy. So he said: "Why don't we stay and intercept those little devils."

  "Alright, alright." Swallow always got excited whenever he heard about fighting devils.

  Liu Tao saw that Zuo Caiyun was really running too slowly. He thought to himself, "At this rate, it won't be long before the little ghosts catch up with us. Now we can only try to buy her some more time." So he said to Yanzi, "Yanzi, take Comrade Zuo Caiyun and go first. We'll stay behind to cover your retreat."

  "No way. I want to be with my brother." Swallow replied firmly.

  Liu Tao chuckled and said, "Hey, it's just a temporary separation, okay? Swallow. I promise you, after this is over, I'll return your intact brother to you, not missing a single hair."

  This "brother" made Swallow's face flush with anger. Just as he was about to argue, Huoyao Ge hastily said: "Hey, it seems like I need Captain Liu's protection. You know, I'm much more formidable than you."

  Swallow chimed in and said: "Right, my brother is definitely more powerful than you."

  "Fireworks brother said: "Swallow, you two go first. I want to let Captain Liu see my strength."

  "Oh, brother, be careful then." Swallow agreed like this.

  "Be careful, Captain Liu." Zuo Caiyun also said.

  Watching the two people's backs as they walked away. Liu Tao gave a thumbs up and chuckled, "Hey, impressive! I have to admit it."

  Firework Brother smiled complacently and said: "Can't even handle a younger brother, how can you be the big brother?"

  On a winding little path, Huoyao Ge tied the small grass on both sides of the path together in a knot. Some sharp branches were inserted into the path. Hand grenades were bound to the hidden branches by the side of the road. Liu Tao is really looking forward to it now, can these little kids' traps succeed?

  The little devils were advancing at a rapid pace on the small road. The little devil running in the front suddenly fell down, and sharp branches pierced his body. The little devil let out a painful howl, and the little devils following closely behind wanted to come up and help. But they found that hand grenades had already started smoking. Wanting to throw away the hand grenades tied like rice dumplings, there was no time left. The little devils could only lie down, cover their heads with both hands, and wait for the hand grenades to explode. Silently praying for the Emperor's protection, may the god of death not descend upon themselves.
