Chapter 159 The Setting of the Trap.
Having pinpointed the location of the ruins, Jun Luochuan and Su Yao knew that the yandere-type villain was like a lurking wolf, and would not easily allow them to embark on their treasure hunt. Thus, a meticulously woven web of traps was quietly set up on the outskirts of the modern city.
The city's skyscrapers resembled a steel jungle, within which spiritual energy, like ethereal threads, seemed to weave subtly. Jun Luochuan, dressed in a deep, dark black outfit, stood tall and straight like a pine tree atop a mountain. His handsome face was now as serious as if covered in frost, his focused gaze like a burning torch. Su Yao, on the other hand, wore a bright pink dress, like spring blossoms. Her bright eyes shone with excitement, like twinkling stars, yet tinged with a hint of nervousness, like a deer leaping unease in the forest.
"Luo Chuan, do you think our carefully laid trap will really work as expected?" Su Yao blinked her clear, autumn-water-like eyes, her voice carrying a hint of uncertainty as delicate as spider silk, like candlelight flickering in a gentle breeze.
Jun Luochuan raised his head slightly, like a proud swan, and said arrogantly, "Hmph, this trap was personally set by me. Even if that sickly villain has three heads and six arms, he will definitely take the bait obediently." His words were resounding, like the tolling of a bell.
They chose a secluded and tranquil valley as the location for their trap. The valley was lush and green, the intertwined branches resembling a green brocade woven by nature's skillful hand; a babbling brook flowed merrily, its clear waters rushing like a melodious tune. However, at this moment, a tense atmosphere, as if about to freeze, permeated the valley.
Jun Luochuan crossed his arms, his posture like an unyielding mountain peak. His gaze was sharp, like a sword that could pierce through all the fog, carefully examining every inch of his surroundings. He silently sketched out every detail in his mind, like a master craftsman meticulously drawing up a blueprint.
"Su Yao, fly over there like a light butterfly and set up some illusionary formations. Remember, be quiet, as silent as a night elf, and do it discreetly." Jun Luochuan gave his instructions methodically, his voice steady and powerful, like a general's command on the battlefield.
Su Yao nodded, and like a happy little rabbit about to jump out of its cage, she hopped and skipped towards the designated spot.
"On my side, I'll set up several powerful attack formations, just like a skilled craftsman carving a beautiful jade. Once that guy steps in, he'll definitely taste the thunderous power of this formation." As Jun Luochuan spoke, he moved his hands, spiritual energy flowing from his fingertips and transforming into mysterious and unpredictable runes. The runes were like twinkling stars in the night sky, dazzling and captivating.
While setting up the formation, Su Yao accidentally made some subtle noises, which sounded particularly abrupt in the silent valley.
"Oh no!" She quickly covered her mouth, looking like a child caught stealing candy, afraid that the slightest sound would alert some unknown danger.
Jun Luochuan glared at her, his eyes like a cold lightning bolt, "You little scatterbrain, can't you be a little more careful!"
Su Yao stuck out her tongue, her playful expression like a blooming little flower, before continuing to diligently set things up.
They also placed various precious magical artifacts in the trap. These artifacts emitted a mesmerizing light, like dazzling pearls, making them irresistible and as alluring as the song of the siren.
"Hmph, I don't believe that yandere villain can resist these fatal temptations." Jun Luochuan's lips curled into a confident smile, a smile as bright as the first ray of sunlight at dawn, full of hope and certainty.
Just as they were busy at work, they suddenly felt an unusual aura, like a cold wind blowing by, making their spines go cold.
"Something's wrong, someone's coming!" Jun Luochuan said in a low voice, his voice as deep as muffled thunder rolling in the distance.
Startled like a frightened bird, Su Yao quickly hid behind Jun Luochuan. "Could it be that the villain arrived early?" Her voice trembled, like a leaf shivering in the wind.
Jun Luochuan frowned, his eyebrows instantly transforming into two tightly knit mountains. "Let's hide and observe the situation first."
A dark figure slowly approached, swaying in the dappled light like a ghost. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a passing cultivator.
"What a scare!" Su Yao patted her chest, as if she were soothing a frightened little rabbit.
After a tense and busy race against time, the trap was finally completed.
"Now, we just have to wait for that cunning fellow to walk right into our trap." A hint of anticipation, like a hunter waiting for its prey, flashed in Jun Luochuan's eyes.
However, what they didn't know was that the yandere villain was also secretly observing their every move like a cunning fox, and was carefully preparing his own conspiracy. A thrilling battle was about to unfold.
