In fact, Su Jin deliberately got separated from the others, and after they got separated, almost all the flying ants and poisonous snakes chased after Su Jin.
The Glass Gu is naturally effective against poisonous creatures and beasts.
The poisonous insects and wild beasts of Liuli Mountain are even more ferocious than those of Zishan Mountain, but they all avoid Liuli Gu and dare not chase and kill it!
But this time, the Glass Gu seemed to have failed.
Su Jinxia wasn't sure whose fault it was at first, so she deliberately got separated from everyone.
Now it seems that it was her own problem.
But what was the problem? Why was the Glazed Gu no longer effective? Su Jin couldn't figure it out for a moment.
Flying ants swarmed everywhere, and Su Jin could feel them right next to her ears. In her panic, she strayed further and further off course, and the road became increasingly rugged.
Ahead was a staircase about half a person's height. Su Jin pushed off with her feet, braced herself with her hands, and successfully climbed up.
Suddenly, the signal arrow at his waist slipped down.
Su Jin was shocked, but the flying ants were right behind her. She didn't have time to turn around and pick them up, so she had to give up and continue running forward.
However, the flying ant suddenly changed its target and stopped chasing.
Su Jin stood on a small hillside, watching the flying ants and venomous snakes below swarming around the signal arrow as if drawn to honey.
Su Jin suddenly realized that she had previously smelled a very faint, unique fragrance from the whistling arrow.
I found it strange at the time, but I didn't pay much attention to it. Now it seems that the fragrance was the culprit.
Other people's whistling arrows shouldn't have this fragrance; this step is only aimed at Su Jin.
To go to such lengths, Su Jin couldn't think of anyone else besides Yang Jiaoruo.
So, is this Yang Jiaoruo's backup plan?
If Su Jin were to fall alone, and the whistling arrow failed to fire, she would be attacked by a massive swarm of poisonous insects, leaving her isolated and helpless, and certain to die.
No one would suspect Yang Jiaoruo yet.
Therefore, Liu Qianqian did not initially want to eliminate Su Jinxia, but rather wanted to eliminate Liu Da and Zhang Qing, who were assisting Su Jinxia, to prevent them from providing Su Jinxia with a chance to survive.
What a grand strategy!
At that moment, a bodyguard stumbled up to the bodyguard captain, Qu Yi, his face full of panic, almost on the verge of tears.
"Miss Su, I've lost her!"
"What!"
Qu Yi was struck dumb. When Shen Qianxue left, she repeatedly instructed her to have someone secretly follow Su Jin to prevent any unforeseen events.
I never expected to lose them! How am I going to explain this?
The guard was terrified. "There are too many flying ants, and they've entangled me too. The forest is too dense; if I'm not careful, I'll disappear!"
"Hurry up, take more people to look for her. If anything happens to Miss Su, none of us can live!" Qu Yi quickly made the arrangements.
The guards nodded repeatedly.
Qu Yi took a deep breath, praying in his heart that Su Jin would be quick-witted and draw the arrow immediately if there was any danger.
Dawn was approaching, and the sound of cannons had continued unabated throughout the night.
Su Jin roughly estimated that there were less than fifty people left. She decided to hold on a little longer and leave once the number dropped to twenty or less.
Without the allure of the fragrance from the whistling arrow, the poisonous insects dared not linger near Su Jinxia and soon dispersed.
Su Jin turned back to find Zhang Qing.
Not long after walking, Su Jin saw three unfamiliar figures ahead, none of them Zhang Qing.
Su Jin didn't go forward, but walked to the left.
However, the creaking of the branches startled them, and they turned around abruptly.
The three were dressed in smart black clothes and their faces were covered.
Why are people wearing masks during a perfectly good match?
Su Jin became wary and stopped in her tracks.
Suddenly, the three opponents drew their swords and charged towards Su Jin at lightning speed, their eyes blazing with unwavering killing intent.
Su Jin hurriedly retreated.
The man in black was clearly more skilled in martial arts than Su Jinxia, and his lightness skill was superb. In just a few breaths, he caught up with Su Jinxia and surrounded him.
Su Jinxia's gaze fell on the black-clad man's swords, all of which were finely crafted and meticulously maintained.
"You're not participants in the competition, so how did you get in? What's your purpose?"
The only weapons in this competition are found in packages in the mountains, and they are made of very ordinary materials, so these three people must not be disciples participating in the competition.
But Su Jinxia wasn't sure if they were from Phoenix Pavilion or outsiders. Were they targeting Su Jinxia or Phoenix Pavilion?
The man in black ignored Su Jinxia's question and attacked directly, revealing only one purpose: to kill Su Jinxia.
With three experts attacking together, Su Jin was forced to dodge in a very awkward manner, and the small short knife in her hand was useless against the three long swords.
The man in black's moves were precise and fierce; with the three of them working together, there was almost no way to avoid them.
"Splash!"
The clothes slid across the blade, tearing through flesh and blood.
Su Jin frowned deeply and looked down at the blood seeping from her left thigh.
"court death!"
Su Jin cursed, her eyes becoming even more focused, a sharp glint appearing in them, her killing intent pouring out like a flood.
"No matter who you are, you're all dead today!" Su Jin said ruthlessly.
A man in black sneered, "That's what I think of you too."
As soon as he finished speaking, the man in black confidently drew his sword and thrust it straight at Su Jinxia. He thought Su Jinxia would dodge as before, but to his surprise, Su Jinxia did not move an inch, put the short knife back at her waist, and caught his sword with her bare hands.
The sword seemed to be controlled by a pair of iron clamps, unable to move.
Su Jinxia immediately took a big step forward, grabbed the man in black's wrist, and twisted it hard. With a "crack," the man in black lost his strength, and the long sword naturally fell into Su Jinxia's hand.
The other two men in black were a step slower. By the time they arrived, Su Jin already had a sword in her hand. She unleashed a series of intricate sword techniques, and as their weapons clashed, the two men in black were shocked by her immense power.
The man in black, now unarmed, collapsed to his knees in agony, clutching his hand in disbelief—his hand had been broken off.
He believed his inner strength was profound, and even if Shen Xi came today, he couldn't easily break his hand with his bare hands, but...
The man in black suddenly realized, "It's the Liuli Society! She's from the Liuli Society!"
Only members of the Rurisha possess such formidable strength.
The other two men in black also noticed the unusual force Su Jin was using.
One of them shook his hand and felt his arm go numb from the shock.
No matter how skilled a woman is in martial arts, she could not possibly possess such formidable strength, unless it were the power of that strange Glazed Gu.
"The magistrate was right after all!"
Sir?
Su Jin gritted her teeth helplessly, her eyes filled with cold indifference.
She desperately wished that these three people weren't from Phoenix Pavilion, but outsiders with ulterior motives, even if they were from the Glazed Society or worked for Nie Qingyi!
"I...I didn't want to hurt anyone here, not even Yang Jiaoruo! But why are you forcing me! What did I do to make Yang Jiaoruo want to kill me!"
Su Jin was furious, her eyes turning bloodshot.
She thought the poisonous arrow was Yang Jiaoruo's backup plan, but she never expected that Yang Jiaoruo would go to such lengths to kill her.
