Chapter 205 The Triggered Danger Warning
Qin Le's hiding place.
Qin Le suddenly turned his head and looked in the northeast direction because he suddenly sensed that the [Danger Warning] he had left on Gao Erzhuang had been triggered!
After exposing Gao Erzhuang's abilities, in order to prevent her from being targeted or even assassinated by foreign forces, he deliberately installed a special item from the system store—danger warning—on her.
Danger warnings can automatically alert you when the object being installed is about to encounter danger.
Initially, the warning was for Gao Erzhuang himself, but as Qin Le had more things to deal with, and since Gao Erzhuang hadn't encountered any danger after so much time, Qin Le simply changed the target of the [Danger Warning] alert.
Now, the [Danger Warning] on Gao Erzhuang will prioritize alerting her to someone who can resolve her crisis when she encounters danger.
If they can't find him, Qin Le will give them an extra reminder, and then Qin Le will look for a suitable way to save Gao Erzhuang.
However, judging from the current situation, the "danger warning" should be directly alerting the appropriate target.
"The system uses the prop [Sky Eye Camera] and locates Gao Erzhuang's position."
At Qin Le's command, a curtain was drawn open directly in front of him.
……
The lawn outside the base where Gao Erzhuang is located.
Zhang Zhiwei didn't have time to think about what had happened; he only heard the voice mention that Gao Erzhuang was in danger.
He instantly unleashed the Golden Light Spell, and a thick golden light transformed into a giant hand. To the horror of Gao Lian and Gao Erzhuang, it grabbed Gao Erzhuang, who was lying on the lawn, and dragged her over.
Just as Gao Erzhuang was being dragged away by the invisible hand of the Old Celestial Master, a dozen iron nails suddenly appeared out of thin air in the spot where Gao Erzhuang had just been standing!
The nails fell from the air onto the lawn, making a clanging sound as they struck each other.
"what!"
Just as Gao Lian was about to ask something, he saw the iron nails that had appeared out of nowhere where Gao Erzhuang was.
He instantly realized that if his daughter hadn't been pulled away by the old master, those iron nails would have been inside her body!
At this moment, Gao Erzhuang also understood what had happened. Her face turned pale as she looked at the iron nails on the ground. She didn't understand why she would be assassinated so soon after she came out, especially in a heavily guarded base.
The old master placed Gao Erzhuang beside him and looked solemnly at the lawn below.
With a thought, the old master sent out dozens of long, sharp spikes from his hand, which pierced the lawn like tentacles.
The spikes kept searching under the lawn. As the old master pulled the golden light out of the lawn, dozens of small straw figures were seen strung on the golden light. Except for one straw figure, the others had more than a dozen iron nails stuck in them.
The well-informed Gao Lian recognized it at a glance.
"This...this is a cursed straw doll! How could they be buried here!"
Zhang Zhiwei looked at Gao Lian curiously, as he genuinely didn't know what it was.
Seeing Zhang Zhiwei's expression, Gao Lian immediately explained.
"Master, this is a technique from abroad called the Cursed Straw Man, a special kind of hidden weapon. It's buried in a fixed location beforehand, and once someone steps on it, the iron nails on the straw man will automatically be moved into the air. If the person is still in the same spot, the nails will directly penetrate their body!"
After Gao Lian explained it this way, the old master understood.
"It's really a clever trick. Foreign methods are different from ours. They don't have Qi, so you really can't tell the straw man unless you examine it carefully."
Foreign supernatural beings use different methods than domestic Qi practitioners. Their energy manifests differently from Qi. The old master didn't initially notice the group of straw figures hidden under the lawn.
Although the forms of energy may differ, the basic principles are similar.
There are similar techniques among Qi practitioners, and there is also a technique in Yemao Mountain that can transform iron nails, allowing one to drive iron nails directly into a person's body.
At this moment, a group of security personnel rushed over, and one of them looked at the straw figures strung on the golden light with horror and said.
"This...this is impossible! I've passed by this lawn many times before, and I've never seen this thing before!"
Gao Lian said angrily, "It must have been buried not long ago! There must be a traitor in the base. He knew that Er Zhuang was going to come out to sunbathe, so he buried him here in advance!"
"Find out immediately! Who was near this lawn not long ago!"
"The caster must still be in the base! The straw doll will automatically deactivate if he gets too far away, so he can't have gone far! Find him right now!"
After everyone left to search for the caster, Gao Lian stood there with a solemn expression.
He understood that this sneak attack was by no means the end. Even if the perpetrator was found this time, there would definitely be a second assassin in the future.
Gao Erzhuang looked at his father and said remorsefully, "Dad, it's my fault. I shouldn't have asked for it."
Upon hearing this, Gao Lian immediately comforted him, saying, "No, no, no, this has nothing to do with you. You are also a victim."
After calming Gao Erzhuang down, Gao Lian looked at Zhang Zhiwei and said with lingering fear.
"Master, we owe you so much this time! I don't know how to thank you enough."
The old celestial master shook his head and said calmly, "It's nothing, Benefactor Gao, you don't need to take it to heart."
"Master, how did you discover the danger in the lawn?" Gao Lian couldn't help but ask.
The old master frowned slightly, recalling what had just happened. After a moment, he slowly spoke.
"The old Taoist priest couldn't explain it either, but he suddenly had a premonition, as if a voice was reminding him that the second girl was in danger."
Gao Lian and Gao Erzhuang exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with confusion.
They did not understand the deeper meaning in the old master's words, but simply took it as an intuition formed by the old master's many years of cultivation.
"In any case, we are very grateful to the Old Master today, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable," Gao Lian said gratefully.
The old master waved his hand and laughed, "It was nothing, just a small favor. However, the safety of the two young ladies does indeed need to be taken more seriously. Benefactor Gao, after this incident, you will probably have to re-evaluate the base's security measures."
Gao Lian nodded, already having made up his mind.
He decided to thoroughly investigate the base and ensure that no further danger could be allowed to approach Gao Erzhuang.
Gao Erzhuang had recovered from her shock by this time. She looked at the old master with gratitude and admiration in her eyes.
"Thank you, Master!" Gao Erzhuang said sincerely.
The old celestial master smiled slightly, patted her head, and said, "Second Sister, there's no need to be so polite. You are a good child, and I hope you can live a peaceful and happy life."
