Chapter 1137: Life for a Life
Kong Chan was not afraid at all that Xiao Xixi would take the opportunity to set a trap for him.
In the face of absolute strength, all strategies are paper tigers and should not be feared.
He was like a cat playing with a mouse, speeding up from time to time, scaring Xiao Xixi into running away in a panic. When he was about to catch up with her, he deliberately slowed down to give her a chance to catch her breath.
Xiao Xixi was frightened several times and rolled over, with several injuries on her body, looking increasingly miserable.
Kong Chan felt even more proud when he saw this.
Perhaps because he was too proud and it was dark at night, he did not pay much attention to his surroundings.
By the time he finally realized something was wrong, everything around him had become completely silent, without even a single sound.
Logically speaking, there should be birds singing and insects chirping in the jungle.
But now there is no sound at all.
All I could hear was his breathing and the sound of footsteps fading away in front of me.
There was fog all around, and even the moonlight could not penetrate the fog, so that his senses became a little dull.
Kong Chan's heart was filled with alarm bells.
He didn't have time to think about it, and used his lightness skills to rush in the direction where Xixi was.
At this time, he already had a warning of danger in his heart and no longer had the heart to play the cat and mouse game. He immediately chased after Xiao Xixi as fast as he could.
He grabbed Xiao Xixi by the collar and threw her out.
Her back hit the tree trunk and then she fell to the ground. She trembled with pain and lay on the ground for a long time without being able to get up.
Kong Chan strode over with murderous intent in his eyes.
He decided to cut the Gordian knot and drain the woman's power, break her neck, and then leave this damn place immediately.
When his right hand covered Xiao Xixi's head, he suddenly heard Xiao Xixi ask.
"Do you know where this place is?"
Kong Chan paused.
Reason told him not to bother with this woman and just kill her.
But his intuition told him not to move any further. He wanted to hear what else she had to say.
In the end, he neither spoke nor withdrew his hand, but just looked down at her coldly.
Xiao Xixi coughed twice and coughed up some blood foam.
She wiped her mouth nonchalantly and continued speaking.
"This is a ghost forest. Do you know what a ghost forest is?"
Kong Chan certainly knew what the Ghost Forest was.
The so-called ghost forest does not mean that there are real ghosts, but that there are no living people in this forest. All living people who enter will eventually become dead and become wandering ghosts.
The terrain of Nanyue is almost entirely jungle, and there is a lot of miasma in the jungle.
The people of Nanyue have loved tattooing since childhood. In fact, it is a way to resist miasma. They add special medicinal herbs to the materials used for tattooing, which can help them resist the invasion of miasma.
Outsiders who don't have those tattoos can easily be poisoned by inhaling too much miasma.
When Kong Chan first arrived in Nanyue, he developed rashes all over his body due to inhaling too much miasma. Later, it was the witch who gave him a pill that cured his illness and also gave him a certain resistance to miasma.
The Ghost Forest is the place with the highest concentration of miasma.
Even the local people of Nanyue do not dare to enter the Ghost Forest at will.
The tattoos on their bodies could only resist normal concentrations of miasma, but the concentration of miasma in the ghost forest was far beyond their tolerance. If they rushed in rashly, they would probably be poisoned by the miasma, and in serious cases, they would die.
In addition, another very fatal thing about the Ghost Forest is that the terrain is extremely complex.
Once you enter the ghost forest, you will lose your sense of direction and be completely lost in it, never able to find a way out.
Xiao Xixi raised her head and saw that Kong Chan's face had become extremely ugly, and she couldn't help but laugh.
Before she took action, she had already told her fortune.
It is a very unlucky hexagram.
This time she goes to seek revenge on Kong Chan, it is very likely that she will never come back.
But she had to go.
She must avenge her master.
Since we are destined to go without returning, we might as well drag Kong Chan with us to die together!
So Xiao Xixi first used the calculation method of Bagua Feng Shui to find the most dangerous place nearby.
That is the ghost forest.
The results of the hexagram show that anyone who enters the ghost forest has a chance of death.
Xiao Xixi remembered the location of Gui Lin firmly in her mind.
If she couldn't kill Kong Chan, she would find a way to lure him here.
Her plan succeeded.
Now that both of them have entered the ghost forest, no one can get out alive.
Kong Chan grabbed her neck, murderous intent in his eyes.
"How dare you plot against me?!"
He was so strong that he almost suffocated Xixi.
She didn't resist, just stared at him and said with difficulty.
"Kill me, then. When I die, you will be left here alone... slowly waiting for death. I want to see how many hours you can survive here alone?"
Kong Chan increased the strength of his hands: "Do you think I dare not kill you?"
Xiao Xixi closed her eyes.
The moment she decided to attack Kong Chan, she was mentally prepared to risk her life.
She is actually not afraid of death.
She had already died once anyway.
It doesn't matter if I die again.
She just couldn't bear to leave her fellow disciples, Baoqin, Lao Wang, Luo Xiaoxi, and so many delicious foods.
The one who was most reluctant to part with him was naturally Luo Qinghan.
She had promised Luo Qinghan that she would go back to see him in half a year.
But now it seems that she is going to break her promise again.
Luo Qinghan said she always lied to him.
She had indeed deceived him many times, but this time, it should be the last time.
Xiao Xixi felt dizzy and breathing became increasingly difficult, as if her neck was about to be broken.
She thought she was going to die soon.
But the next moment.
The hand that was pinching her neck suddenly loosened.
Xiao Xixi fell to the ground weakly.
She instinctively opened her mouth and gasped for breath.
A large amount of cold air rushed into her lungs, irritating her and causing her to cough violently. Her eyes turned red and tears came out.
A voice of Kong Chan came from above my head.
"Didn't you inherit the position of the head of Xuanmen? You must be very good at fortune-telling. You can calculate the direction. As long as you can take me away from here, I can consider sparing your life. What do you think?"
Xiao Xixi felt a burning pain in her throat.
She endured the pain, raised her head and looked at Kong Chan, uttering a word in an extremely hoarse voice.
"I think you're dreaming."
Kong Chan: “…”
Kong Chan tried hard to suppress the urge to strangle her and said through gritted teeth.
"You want to stay here and wait for death instead of living? Are you crazy?!"
Xiao Xixi spoke word by word.
"You killed my master. You deserve to die."
As the miasma was inhaled into his body, Kong Chan gradually felt that his senses were becoming dull and various parts of his body began to itch.
This was very similar to the symptoms he had experienced when he was poisoned by miasma, but the symptoms were more severe than the previous time.
