41 Fallen Into a Trap

With her keen observation, she could see evidence of fierce fighting nearby. In addition, the snow was drenched in pools of blood. Thus, she concluded that Luo Xiaoman and the others must have had a fierce battle.

Even with the two great fighters, Snowy and Mo Yuan, they still had to fight a tough battle. Consequently, they were injured as well. Most likely, they encountered a strong enemy.

"If I'm not wrong, Luo Xiaoman and the others are probably resting now." Wan Zitong narrowed her eyes and sneered, "Once we find their hiding place, we'll definitely catch them all."

"Young Lady, you're wonderful!" A subordinate exclaimed, "You can deduce so much information from these clues alone. I really feel bad for Luo Xiaoman if she runs into you."

"Hmph, she's just a six-year-old child. Does she really think that she's my worthy opponent just because she's a little clever?" said Wan Zitong mockingly as she shook her head.

The subordinates of the Wan family all cheered and touted Wan Zitong.

"Young Lady, where are we going now?" a subordinate asked suspiciously.

Wan Zitong pondered for a moment. After she had decided on the direction, she pointed to the blood stains on the snow and said calmly, "If we follow these blood stains, we'll be able to find Luo Xiaoman."

When Luo Xiaoman took advantage of Wan An, she thought that this little girl was very clever. However, when she came to Bai Luo Mountain, she felt contempt toward Xiaoman instead upon seeing the remnants of the battle.

Xiaoman made a grave mistake. Why should she pay attention to someone so foolish?

The people of the Wan family followed the trail of bloodstains. When they reached a frost canyon, they came to a halt.

"Young Lady, this is a dead end. There's no other route."

"Impossible!" Wan Zitong frowned. She then walked around to scan the surroundings and solemnly said, "We've been following their blood stains. How could we have gone the wrong way?"

They had followed the bloodstains and came to this dead end.

With the ice and snow, there was utterly no place to hide here. In other words, it was highly improbable for Luo Xiaoman to be looking for a place to rest here.

Wan Zitong frowned and walked over. Her roving eyes were sweeping the place back and forth continuously.

"Huh?" Her pupils shrank abruptly as her eyes fell on a puddle of blood in front of her.

She frowned. When she looked closely, it was actually a dead Bai Hou.

On the neck of the Bai Hou was a faint blood mark...

"This is..."

"Roar!!"

Before Wan Zitong could react, a roar sounded, and a huge figure sprang out from the ground.

"Prepare for battle!" Recovering from the initial shock, Wan Zitong looked at the figure again only to discover it was an Icy Poisonous Scorpion.

Finally, it dawned upon her.

It was a trap, a trap set up specifically for her.

She did not know how Luo Xiaoman convinced the Bai Hou to set up the ambush on its own initiative. It had even roped in the assistance of the Icy Poisonous Scorpion.

All she knew was that if she had not reacted fast enough, she would have been a victim of the fierce Icy Poisonous Scorpion.

"Organize yourselves into an array!" Following Wan Zitong's order, the subordinates of the Wan family got into formation to encircle the Icy Poisonous Scorpion.

They knew how powerful the Icy Poisonous Scorpion, a level-four monster, was.

Even if all of them attacked it in unison, they might still not be able to suppress the Icy Poisonous Scorpion.

Their only hope now was to suppress its formidable strength with their formation and give Wan Zitong a chance to find its weakness and kill it with one blow.
