Bang!
Ji Ning fell to the ground and staggered into an alley, feeling very anxious.
This gambling house is very big. If he wants to escape completely, he will have to climb over the wall at least twice more, but by then Jiang Chuan should also lead people to catch up.
But he had been poisoned by the incense, and there was no way he could escape.
"Damn, I'm getting dizzy!"
Ji Ning's face turned pale. He could feel that the power of the Ecstasy Incense was getting stronger and stronger, and it was no longer possible to stay awake based on the pain alone.
If he continues like this, he will faint before long.
Unless, he can find the antidote!
"I can only go back and try."
Ji Ning gritted his teeth and stood up sweating profusely.
He remembered clearly that just a moment ago, when Jiang Chuan thought he had a chance to win, he took out the antidote to humiliate him, and finally fell to the ground. Now that everyone was chasing him out, it was a good time to go back and get the medicine!
Just do it!
Ji Ning gritted his teeth, jumped back into the yard with the help of a big stone, and stumbled to the side of the house!
"no one!"
After observing carefully for a moment, Ji Ning secretly breathed a sigh of relief and then limped into the house.
But, the moment I walked into the house, I smelled the incense of Ecstasy again.
Bang——!
Ji Ning couldn't bear it any longer and fell to the ground, his consciousness approaching fainting!
But he still desperately grabbed the pills scattered on the ground and put them into his mouth!
In an instant, a refreshing and sweet scent spread in Ji Ning's mind.
I don’t know how long it took, but my consciousness gradually became clear.
In a blur, Ji Ning struggled to turn over.
Looking at the letters scattered on the ground in front of him, the boy smiled palely.
Come alive.
It won't be long before he fully recovers.
By then, no matter how many people there are in the gambling house, it will be impossible to stop him.
These years of boxing training are not in vain!
Ji Ning frowned, grabbed the letter and put it in his arms.
After escaping, he was determined to return to the mountain overnight to expose Li Hu's crimes to the public.
And this letter is the most powerful evidence!
He will definitely not be soft-hearted!
Some more time passed.
Just as Ji Ning regained some strength, looked determined, and was about to get up and leave the house.
In the courtyard, there was suddenly a burst of urgent footsteps.
"Get me the medicine quickly!"
"There are so many people who can't catch a young boy. Are you all just useless trash?"
Bang——!
Jiang Chuan kicked open the wooden door and sat on the chair with a look on his face.
Beside him, there were two burly men, cautiously applying medicine to his injured shoulder.
"You didn't even catch it yourself."
Liu Qi, the man who had been guarding the door before, was cursing in his heart, but with a flattering smile on his face, he walked over with a few bottles of medicinal powder:
"Master Jiang, don't be anxious. All the brothers have already gone after him. That kid won't be able to run far after being hit by your incense."
When Jiang Chuan heard this, he became furious and slapped the man hard:
"Snapped!"
"What do you mean? You are mocking my incompetence. You have the scent of Ecstasy, but you haven't been able to catch that kid yet, right?"
"My subordinates dare not..."
…
Ji Ning hid behind the tall chair, looking nervous.
The situation just now was urgent, and he could only hide here.
Dark under the lamp.
For now, it's fairly safe.
"Well, there's a box?"
Just when Ji Ning held his breath and did not dare to make a sound, he suddenly noticed that right next to him, directly under the chair, there was a square black and mahogany box with a dragon pattern carved on it.
There was still a lock hanging on it, but it was opened. It must be Jiang Chuan's carelessness.
Ji Ning stared at the wooden box. After hesitating for a moment, he plucked up the courage to open it.
I saw three things in the box.
A pill.
A page of golden paper.
And a bone token.
"The material of this token is a bit like the bones of a monster. I can't tell the year, so I don't know what it does."
"On the top of the gold paper, it says July 17th, Xiushan Longtan Peak. What does this mean?"
Ji Ning put away the bone order and looked confused.
Xiushan is divided into four parts: periphery, middle, depth, and core. Longtan Peak is a strange peak deep in Xiushan, shaped like a dragon's head, with jagged rocks. It is in an extremely dangerous area, and there are many taboos hidden in it.
What will happen there on July 17th, and what does it have to do with Jiang Chuan?
Ji Ning scratched his head, folded the golden paper twice and put it into his heart, and then picked up the dark yellow pill.
"This should be the elixir refined by the alchemist."
Ji Ning took a sniff and felt a slight joy on his face as he smelled the rich and noble aroma.
Alchemist is the most respected and rarest profession in the world of cultivation.
If one person in a hundred mortals can become a practitioner, then not one person in a thousand practitioners can become an alchemist.
Even the most ordinary first-grade alchemist will be a person that all major forces compete to recruit.
"Legend has it that a powerful alchemist can refine elixirs that can heal human flesh and bones, and can even help open acupuncture points the day after tomorrow, forcing people to embark on the path of spiritual practice."
Ji Ning stared at the dark yellow elixir in front of him, his breathing gradually becoming heavier.
He didn't know what the elixir in front of him did, but his instinct kept tempting him and wanted to swallow it.
"No, it will be terrible if I eat the wrong food!"
Ji Ning shook his head violently, regained consciousness, and quickly put down the elixir.
Now, he just needs to slowly regain his strength, and he can't get involved. If he takes the wrong medicine and is exposed, the gain will outweigh the loss.
While Ji Ning was crouching secretly, recuperating and recuperating, Jiang Chuan, who was sitting in front of him, suddenly frowned.
"Huh? Why are there so many bloody footprints on the ground?"
At this time, ahead.
Jiang Chuan, who was gradually calming down, suddenly noticed keenly that there seemed to be a large mess of bloody footprints on the ground at the door of the house.
The footprints continued to the scattered antidotes, and finally formed a vague outline of a human figure, as if someone was lying on the ground.
"Could it be..."
A flash of surprise flashed in the man's eyes, and he searched carefully along the blood stains on the ground, and finally his eyes stopped on the side of his chair.
"I see."
Jiang Chuan smiled evilly with a gloomy expression.
He waved his hand, slowly turned his back, looked behind the chair, suppressed his excitement and anger, and said with a sinister smile:
"I said there are so many brothers in the gambling house, why can't we catch a young boy who is about to be knocked unconscious? It turns out you are hiding here."
"What!" Several men in the room were shocked when they heard this.
"You're so smart. You knew you couldn't run far, so you sneaked back to take the antidote. But it's a pity that you didn't notice that the carpet in my house is stained with blood all year round."
Jiang Chuan's rouged face was frighteningly white.
He got up from the chair, closed the door, then walked to the wall on the right, took out a curved boning knife, and walked over with a smile.
He knew the power of the Ecstasy incense all too well. The antidote took effect very slowly, and it was impossible for the poisoned person to recover much strength in a short period of time.
In other words, the boy behind the chair is already a lamb waiting to be slaughtered!
"In order to punish you for being naughty, I will first cut off your hand tendons and hamstrings, then pick you up, peel off your skin bit by bit, cut your flesh into pieces, and dig out your eyes and tongue to make a human pig, like a flower. Keep it in a basin and live forever, what do you think?"
Jiang Chuan's eyes were abnormal, flashing with excitement and viciousness. He couldn't bear it any longer, and he rushed to the side of the chair and stuck his head out.
So, he saw a thin figure indeed!
"You are indeed here!"
Jiang Chuan grinned and stared at Ji Ning with a somewhat crazy expression. He seemed to have heard the latter's miserable screams. From the initial stubbornness to the last cry and begging for mercy, to the final transformation of breaking down and cursing, that transformation This is the process he enjoys the most!
"Um?"
But, the next moment.
Just when Jiang Chuan was about to rush forward and eat Ji Ning alive, he saw an opened box.
It was empty, nothing.
There was only one boy with a flaming face and cheeks as bulging as a toad. His eyes were staring at the man in front of him, his expression seemed a bit mocking.
After Jiang Chuan was stunned for two seconds, he suddenly roared:
"Spit out my Yang Dan!"
