Chapter 22: Paradise on Earth (Three)

  "It's really a wealthy organization!" As soon as he thought of the organization, Zhang Fan finally came to his senses. However, when he lifted his head and looked around in all directions, he suddenly discovered that the black-clothed man who had been following him was nowhere to be seen!

  Although he discovered this situation, Zhang Fan's heart was not very anxious. As a guide, the black-clothed man had completed his task, except for not taking himself into their nest, everything else could be considered perfect. As for sneaking into their nest, Zhang Fan originally didn't plan to easily follow the black-clothed man in. The only thing he regretted was that he didn't see how the black-clothed man disappeared.

  However, Zhang Fan was absolutely confident in himself. Looking at the scene here, he knew that this must be the lair of the black-clothed men. Since he had figured out the low-hanging fruit, other things would be easy to handle. ——Although Zhang Fan was not familiar with mechanical technology and the like, but with two superpowers present, what was there to fear about finding the entrance?

  So Zhang Fan is now fearless and unscrupulous.

  He continued to look around the valley and decided to set the breakthrough point on the path where the man in black had passed. Unless he flew, there would inevitably be traces left behind at the place he just walked through. —— These traces might be a shallow footprint, or a flower with an unnatural angle due to being disturbed by clothes, or a blade of grass that was trampled and broken... All these things were as elusive as spider silk and horse tracks in ordinary people's eyes, but they couldn't escape Zhang Fan's eyes. In less than a moment, he had figured out a path.

  This road was originally used as a starting point for the black-clad men, and then connected one by one. However, it's strange that from the footprints, the black-clad men actually circled around in a big circle, using a distance of thirty meters to walk to a stone wall just over a dozen steps away from the valley entrance.

  "Could it be that there's still a mechanism at play in this sea of flowers?" Zhang Fan's mind was filled with doubts, and according to the route they had taken so far, the black-clothed man was definitely not someone who liked to pretend or bluff. Moreover, Zhang Fan found it hard to believe that he was mesmerized by the scenery in the valley, so after circling around the valley once, they entered the nest. A person who didn't eat, drink, sleep, or rest while rushing on their journey would actually delay their trip because they wanted to appreciate the view when they were only one step away from their destination - this was truly an unthinkable thing. Therefore, there must be a reason why the black-clothed man circled around in such a big loop!

  As soon as he realized this, Zhang Fan immediately stood still and carefully observed his surroundings. He didn't notice it at first, but when he took a closer look, he was shocked - in this seemingly beautiful and picturesque paradise, there were actually infinite killing intentions hidden!

  Roughly identifying, Zhang Fan found more than 20 deadly mechanisms! Moreover, these mechanisms are all connected and will trigger at the slightest touch. For example, in the thickest part of the flower cluster, a faint silver light flickered - it was a large net made of unknown metal, with at least 20 mesh eyes connected to transparent fine threads on the surrounding mountain wall. On the mountain wall, there were numerous tiny holes that were almost invisible, although they looked only as big as chopstick heads and were well-concealed. However, Zhang Fan firmly believed that if he accidentally fell into the net, the things shot out from those holes would absolutely not let him off easy. More importantly, even if he could dodge them, those fine threads would definitely trigger the alarm system inside the mountain wall, making it impossible for him to achieve his goal of sneaking in undetected.

  What made Zhang Fan break out in a cold sweat was that within ten centimeters of his feet, a beautiful orchid was growing, and one of the orchid's leaves was directly connected to a thin thread! If Zhang Fan's footstep had fallen just a little bit forward, the mechanism would have been triggered by now!

  This mechanism is just one of them, and other mechanisms are extremely deadly.

  Zhang Fan let out a light breath, then relaxed his body as much as possible, and suddenly stomped his foot. His body instantly moved sideways like a floating cloud, landing exactly on the footprint of the nearest black-clad man who had just passed by. He didn't dare to make any sudden moves now, for fear of triggering another mechanism - who knew what other things were waiting for him? Even with Zhang Fan's incredible superpowers, he couldn't be sure of escaping unscathed from this intricate web of mechanisms. He was so cautious that he didn't even dare miss a single footprint of the black-clad man, afraid that if he missed one step in the program, the mechanism would be triggered.

  Zhang Fan's movements were originally among the top masters, and this time he used his full strength, really like a big bat, quickly walked along the route where the black-clothed man had passed, and came to the front of that stone wall.

  Unfortunately, just at that moment, Zhang Fan's heart suddenly jumped: something was wrong! It was just a kind of instinctual intuition, and he couldn't say exactly what was wrong.

  However, at this moment, his foot had already landed in front of that stone wall! At this point, even if he wanted to regret it, it was probably too late!
