The two of them instinctively looked up, only to see rows of sharp knives hanging from the branches above, their gleaming tips pointed directly at them.
If they took one wrong step, a rain of knives would descend from the sky.
This wasn't just any rain of knives; it was strung with silk, faster than arrows. Even the Dark Soul couldn't evade it.

Tang Yueshan: Is the Jin army really this formidable?
Gu Jiao: ...I think it's Shangguan Qing.
This was originally meant as a trap for the Jin army, but unfortunately, they didn't step on it. Instead, she and Tang Yueshan did.
Tang Yueshan: What do we do now? Just wait?
Gu Jiao: We could wait for the baby to cry, exposing us; or wait for the Jin army patrol to come by, and we'll be exposed anyway.
Tang Yueshan: "..."
