Chapter 693 Stepping into a Trap


    Easton nearly lost his bnce and fell into his own trap. Fortunately, he was quick enough to steady himself at the critical moment. As he regained his footing, a look of relief washed over his face, a reaction which Danny, of course, instantly noticed.


    After all, Danny possessed extraordinary abilities; he could tell at a nce that there was a trap right where Easton was standing-and that Easton had been the one to set it.


    "Snake! There''s a snake!" Danny suddenly yelled.


    Easton was terrified of snakes, and the shock caused him to step wrong and spring the trap he hadid. He had crafted this trap with wooden jaws. Although not as deadly as a metal trap designed to snap shut on a wild animal''s leg, it still hurt considerably when it mped onto his foot.


    "Ah! Aaah!" Easton cried out in agony, hopping around with the wooden trap still clinging to his foot.


    After Easton struggled to remove the trap, he realized he had been duped; a careful look around confirmed there were no snakes in sight. Danny had tricked him.


    Seething with pain and indignation, Easton pointed at Danny and demanded, "Country boy, are you ying games with me?"


    "ying with a big man like you? I prefer to y with beauties. How could I possibly want to y with you?" Danny retorted smoothly.


    "You didn''t y with me? Where''s the snake you mentioned?"


    "Snake? I clearly saw one," Danny


    said, pointing to a tree hollow. "I saw the snake slither into that hole. If you don''t believe me, take a stick and poke around; I''m sure you''ll drive out that snake."


    "A snake in a tree hollow? Impossible!"


    Misled by Danny, Easton instinctively broke off a branch and activated yet another trap he had set.


    A cascade of rancid bird eggs fell from above, the rotten mess sttering all over him. "Aaah! Aaah!"


    Being pelted with eggs wasn''t


    painful-merely disgusting-yet

    Easton had deliberately added some small stones to the bird''s nest to increase the trap''s effectiveness. Even though the stones were notrge, each was hard as rock, and falling from a height, they were quite painful upon impact, quickly raising welts on his head.


    Just as Easton''s fury from stepping into the first trap had not subsided, he found himself ensnared in another. Fuming, he stood there, grinding his teeth.


    After a moment of dizziness, Easton, clutching his bruised head, yelled at Danny, "Country boy, are you messing with me?"


    "Mess with you? I didn''t do anything!"


    With a sly smite, Danny inquired,


    "These traps are your handy work, right? You set them up to punish me, but in the end, you punished


    yourself. What''s that called?ned


    lifting a rock only to smash your own foot!"
