A Deadly Trap (1)

Shi Rong walked forward through the forest with overbearing confidence. Every step erupted through the earth sending small chills and shivers down Shen Caos spin as she glared mockingly at the young woman.

She scuffed turning up her nose as she began to step faster walking in front of Shi Rong in order to be ahead of the group.

Xia Lingxiao crossed his arms in disappointment as he addressed the young Lolita. "Shen Cao must you walk ahead with blind eyes?"

Mo Yu chimed in indifferently. "She has no idea the direction we are headed yet she chooses to try and lead the group. She must be stupid."

Shen Cao puffed her cheeks outward as her hair began rising behind her dancing it the wind. "I can find our target far quicker and more accurately than this woman for I, Shen Cao, am a Heavenly Divine Beast. Please don't underestimate my capabilities."

Shi Rong quickly stopped in her tracks staring off into the distance.

Xia Lingxiao and Mo Yu stopped shortly behind the young woman watching as Shen Cao blindly continued to step forward.

She turned her head over her shoulders towards the group who have suddenly paused in their footsteps then scuffed arrogantly. "Hmph, that's more like it allow somebody with capability to take charge!"

She stepped forward once more but was suddenly stopped in her tracks. She tried lifting her leg to continue but her foot was pulled violently to the ground with a large thud. She looked down to notice the bottom of her dress was covered in a black sticky residue.

Shen Caos face twisted in confusion as she continued to try lifting her feet from the sticky trap. "Wha-What is this!"

She continued to struggle but the more she pulled the more stuck she became. She reached her hand down trying to grab the mysterious residue when a soft demanding voice urged her to stop.

"Don't do it, you'll only become more stuck."

Shen Cao ignored the warning from Shi Rong as she bared her teeth. "Don't treat me like an idiot, I'm a Heavenly Divine Beast this is nothing to me!" She grabbed her leg giving it a large and powerful pull only to realize her arm was no longer moving.

"WHAT!" Shen Cao wailed loudly as she became slumped to the ground. Her hair hanging over her shoulder became trapped and twisted into the mysterious black residue rendering her helpless.

Shen Cao began shouting and pulling like a crazy woman until her entire body became engulfed in the trap. "HEY RELEASE ME THIS INSTANT!" Shen Cao continued pulling covering her body until she was completely black. "I AM A HEAVENLY BEAST RELEASE ME NOW, YOU UNHOLY CREATION!"
