785 Wood Carving
Looking at Jiang Yi’s departing figure, Qin Xi finally heaved a sigh of relief. She sat on the chair, her hands trembling slightly. It was obvious that she was extremely nervous and afraid.
Her gaze landed on the soup that she had not drunk much. She was a little worried. Although she did not drug or poison the soup, there was something very lethal in it. Perhaps even Jiang Yi did not notice it.
Of course, even if he found out, it would be too late. As long as he drank it, Qin Xi believed that her plan would be half successful.
The accessory she gave Jiang Yi just now was actually a small thing she had carved out in her free time. It was not what was really important. What was important was that there was a tracking talisman and a detonation talisman drawn on the carving.
She did not know if Jiang Yi would find out. If he did, the consequences would be unimaginable. If he did not, she would have some hope of escaping.
After all, she was helpless against this Strangulation Array . If she could trigger the trap she set up when Jiang Yi was at his weakest, then… her chances of winning would increase by roughly 30%.
Qin Xi closed her eyes and took a few deep breaths to calm herself down. She came to the Strangulation Array and began to study how to break it bit by bit.
As the name suggested, the Strangulation Array focused on strangulation. Moreover, not only did this array formation have an offensive effect, but it also had a hallucinatory effect. It was very difficult for ordinary people to not get affected.
However, as long as one’s cultivation level was higher than the person who set up the array formation and their mental strength was stronger, this array formation would not pose any threat to you.
Qin Xi stayed in front of the Strangulation Array for the entire night. Countless methods flashed across her mind, but she rejected them all.
At dawn, she sighed helplessly with a shake of her head. She turned around and returned to the kitchen to make a bowl of noodles. After eating it, she continued to study the Strangulation Array.
She did not have time to rest. Tonight was the night of the full moon. Jiang Yi would be at his weakest. If she did not take the opportunity to get rid of him, she would die sooner or later…
As time passed, more and more cold sweat broke out on Qin Xi’s forehead. She couldn’t be bothered to wipe it away. She looked at the sun in the sky from time to time to tell the time.
However, the Strangulation Array was an ancient array after all. If it could really be broken so easily, it would not be called an ancient array.
Qin Xi studied it for the entire day but to no avail. It was not until night fell that she stood up with a pale face.
She gently rubbed her throbbing temples. When the dizziness disappeared, her face regained color.
Qin Xi rubbed her neck and looked at the bright moonlight in the vast sky with a solemn expression. Her eyes were filled with worry. “It seems that I can only place my hopes on the thing in the soup…”
On the other side, Jiang Yi looked at the full moon in the sky and felt the loss of his cultivation and the intense pain all over his body. He held the trinket Qin Xi gave him, his veins bulging.
This small wooden carving looked like him, but Qin Xi’s carving skills were really bad. It was like the scribble of a one-year-old. It was so ugly that it was unbearable to look at.
However, Jiang Yi did not throw it away. Even though he knew that there was an inexplicable energy on it, he still carried it with him. After all, this was the first time he had received a gift in his life, even if the gift was worthless.
Of course, he also wanted to see what Qin Xi was up to.
