Chapter 677: Chapter 0677: The Misfortunate Handsome Guy

When Tang Ming regrouped with the three women, Zhen Xiaosa, hiding in the shadows, saw that Xiaobai had left the group and realized it was a great opportunity to steal the Xue Ling and flee a thousand miles. He immediately took advantage of the cover provided by the vegetation to quietly approach the Mysterious Snow Spirit.

As Xiaobai squatted less than thirty meters away to clean his fur, Zhen Xiaosa moved closer, his heart throbbing with excitement. As long as he could capture the Xue Ling and then make a quick getaway, he could deliver it to the Mo Family. After completing this deal, he would leave Songlan immediately. Even if Tang Ming wanted revenge, he would not be able to find him.

"Damn Tang Ming, if you dare to come to Wanjing City looking for trouble, I’ll make sure it’s a one-way trip for you. But first, I just need to get back the Xue Ling, and my task will be complete... Huh?"

Zhen Xiaosa was muttering to himself when he suddenly felt a tightness around his foot, followed by a rustling noise.

"What’s this?"

Looking down, he found his foot caught by a grass ring, and at the same time, a log on the ground in front of him swiftly swept towards his legs.

"Damn it, there’s actually a trap."

Zhen Xiaosa’s face turned pale as he leaped up, trying to dodge the log sweeping at him. However, his left foot was caught by the grass ring, and he couldn’t jump out of the way.

"Bang!"

With a muffled sound, the log smacked solidly against his left leg, breaking the wood completely.

"Ouch."

Zhen Xiaosa let out a scream like a pig being slaughtered. Even though he was a martial master with an extraordinary physical body, he was not a Cross Training Martial Master, and such an attack on his thigh caused him unbearable pain, nearly knocking him unconscious.

With his left leg severely injured, Zhen Xiaosa lost his balance. Moreover, since he was in a jumping stance, his body fell toward the ground.

The first thing Zhen Xiaosa did was to cover his face, fearing disfigurement, but as he was about to hit the ground, a stake suddenly sprung up from the ground at the exact spot where his chest was about to land.

"Son of a..."

Zhen Xiaosa’s face turned pale again, as falling like this could probably break a whole row of ribs.

In that critical moment, Zhen Xiaosa bit his lip and forcibly turned his body, landing on his back...

"Pfft."

After a heavy blow to his back, Zhen Xiaosa couldn’t help but spit out a mouthful of blood, and his consciousness began to blur. Even a martial master couldn’t withstand being played like this.

"What’s going on here?"

Li Xiaoli, who was talking, looked around with confusion, "Why is there another scream, could it be the sound effects from the Entertainment City?"

"Of course, it’s the sound effects. If someone really encountered danger here, Entertainment City wouldn’t be able to take the responsibility."

Tang Ming laughed and clapped his hands, calling out, "Xiaobai, come here, we’ve got more treasure to find."

"Okay then, the sound effects are too realistic, they even scared me a bit."

Li Xiaoli shrank her neck and hurriedly grabbed the hands of Xia Wei’er and Liu Mengting, following closely behind Xiaobai as they left the scene.

Tang Ming looked enigmatically at Zhen Xiaosa’s location. He knew that the man had fallen into the trap he had set up; if not dead, he’d be severely injured, and hopefully, the man would learn his lesson and back off.

Before, Tang Ming had spent years in the real primitive forests of North Africa, tumbling and rolling in their depths. He was most familiar with such dense forest environments and knew best how to use them to set up traps and mechanisms. Once, he had used his surroundings to eliminate a few hundred-man armed squad all by himself in the jungle. Now, setting up a few traps to teach Zhen Xiaosa a lesson was child’s play to him.

Not long after, Zhen Xiaosa suddenly turned around fiercely, scrambled up from the ground, spitting blood while frantically shaking his head to regain consciousness.

"Son of a bitch, it must be that bastard Tang Ming who set up these traps to screw me over," he hissed.

Once Zhen Xiaosa came to his senses, his eyes flickered with violence. After using his cultivation to stabilize his injuries, he immediately pursued Tang Ming and his group with murderous intent. Now that his presence was discovered, there was no need to hide anymore.

Now that Tang Ming’s impressive bodyguard was waiting outside, there was no way Tang Ming and the three girls could handle him, a martial master on their own.

He had wanted to avoid trouble and the attention of the formidable bodyguard outside, sneaking around to get the Xue Ling and then make a long escape. But now that he had been found out, he was ready to go all out. He would directly face off against Tang Ming and his group to snatch the Xue Ling and then use his work uniform to cover his escape from Entertainment City Castle. Even the bodyguard outside wouldn’t notice anything amiss.

By this time, Tang Ming and his group had already left the Primitive Forest themed area and entered the dimly lit maze themed area.

Although the maze was winding and easy to lose one’s way in, they walked smoothly thanks to Xiaobai leading the way.

Zhen Xiaosa, using special means, could sense Xiaobai’s location, and so was able to follow quickly.

The three girls were eagerly walking in front, following Xiaobai to search for treasure, with Tang Ming bringing up the rear.

It didn’t take long for Tang Ming to frown, sensing that Zhen Xiaosa was on their trail again, and this time he was moving fast, not sneaking around anymore. It seemed he was ready to resort to direct confrontation and robbery.

He needed to hide his strength, and the combat power of the three girls could be considered negligible. If he didn’t think of a way to handle the situation, he would have to expose his cultivation to deal with a martial master’s direct attack. He could call Xin Badao for reinforcements, but he feared there wouldn’t be enough time.

Tang Ming frowned and looked around. As he looked up in observation, he suddenly smiled and said, "Ladies, how do you think this maze compares to the ones we’ve played in at amusement parks before?"

"This maze seems more complex than the amusement park’s, but with Xiaobai leading the way, it’s much smoother than last time,"

Li Xiaoli replied without looking back.

"Yeah, we got lost in that simplistic maze last time, and in the end, we had to rely on hints to be led out. Without Xiaobai this time, we’d probably be lost again,"

Liu Mengting felt this deeply as well.

"What happened last time?"

Xia Wei’er, unfamiliar with the details, asked in confusion.

"Don’t remind me, it was such an unlucky outing. But this time is much better. There’s a big prize waiting for us inside."

Li Xiaoli shook her head and called out with excitement.

"I’ve finally found you."

At that moment, Zhen Xiaosa caught up, hearing Tang Ming and his group’s voices from behind a fork in the path.

Zhen Xiaosa threw his hat aside and ripped off the fake beard from his face, revealing his true appearance. With head held high and oozing murderous aura, he strode towards the direction where Tang Ming and his group were.

"Actually, even without Xiaobai, we don’t have to worry about safety, because from the moment we entered the maze, surveillance cameras have been monitoring our every move,"

Tang Ming raised his voice and said loudly, "I guess the maze is quite challenging, and Entertainment City must be worried about guests getting lost inside, so they’ve installed a surveillance system specially."
