How many traps would a skilled hunter set up in the mountains?

Lu Yuan didn’t know how others operated, but as for himself, he laid at least twenty traps in his hunting grounds.

Therefore, even if other hunters set up half of that amount in their hunting grounds, there would still be at least ten traps.

So, there are actually many traps scattered throughout the vast mountains. In just one hour, Lu Yuan found six suitable traps in a five-mile radius of his area.

After memorizing the positions of each trap in his mind and designing a perfect route, he turned and headed towards the direction of the mountain entrance.

He had spent so much time in the mountains, but the Qingzhu Gang members hadn’t caught up yet.

It was obvious that these scums only knew how to oppress the common people at the foot of the mountains and collect protection fees.

Once they entered the mountains, they became like blind men—a bunch of headless flies that didn’t know how to track an experienced hunter.

As someone with a helpful spirit, Lu Yuan felt obligated to remind them and give them some clues so they wouldn’t lose their way.

“Where the hell is that little brat hiding?”

With a single chop, Du Qing cleared the obstructing tree branches in front of him and leaned on the trunk, looking at the vast expanse of snow in the vicinity. The sunlight shining on the snow made it blinding and painful to look

at.

The junior members also stopped for a rest, their eyes alertly watching their surroundings as if they were concentrated on finding the enemy.

But anyone familiar with them would know that these old foxes were not looking for an enemy but observing the area for potential dangers.

They were afraid the expert archer was hiding nearby, waiting to send an arrow through their heads the moment they least expected it.

Du Qing wasn’t unaware of his subordinates’ thoughts, but he didn’t care.

Subordinates were for doing odd jobs and boosting their numbers. They were there to test the waters for potential danger and distract their enemies. Weren’t they?

Otherwise, what was the point of spending tens of silver taels each month to keep them around?

So, Du Qing didn’t care much for his subordinates’ lives.

If someone died, he would simply recruit a new one.

There were always plenty of impoverished people in the world who were willing to gamble their lives away for a better future.

Human lives were cheap in this world.

Similarly, Du Qing didn’t care much about the deaths of Zhao Er and the other two.

His anger stemmed from the fact that his men were killed, and his and his gang’s authority had been violated.

At the same time, there was a little worry: “Now that there was a mishap with my men, Ma Hong and his guys would definitely not let this opportunity slip by. They would kick me while I’m down in front of the gang leader, trying to make trouble for me.

I’m going to have to cough up some money to smooth things over for this mistake.

When I catch that damned hunter, I’ll make sure to cut him into a thousand pieces. ”

Du Qing gritted his teeth, his determination to catch the audacious hunter growing stronger.

Just then, a flash of black dashed past his vision, startling him awake.

A junior member gasped in horror. Du Qing turned to see that one of his gang members had been shot through the temple by an arrow. The arrow went into the brain and came out of the temple on the other side.

Seeing this scene, he knew who it was: “It’s him!”

Du Qing quickly scanned the surroundings and caught a glimpse of a fleeting figure under a tree in the distance.

“He’s over there. Follow me.”

Without waiting for a response, he charged forward.

The Qingzhu Gang members, dazed by the sudden turn of events, finally came to their senses. Seeing their boss had already charged forward, they could only harden their resolve and follow, regardless of their fear.

Meanwhile, at the forefront…

Lu Yuan swiftly maneuvered through the dense forest, casting a quick glance towards the six pursuers behind him, a smirk appearing on his face.

The prey had taken the bait..
