She held her breath and retreated without leaving a trace. There were many venomous snakes in the grass. Every time they passed by, she resisted not moving until the venomous snakes slowly crawled past while spitting out their messages, and then slowly retreated deeper.

She retreated all the way to the depths, feeling that she was out of the danger zone, and then she dared to take a deep breath.

Chill and fatigue continued to eat away at her body and mind, and even though there was danger everywhere, she fell into an uncontrollable sleep.

When she woke up again, the dazzling firelight shone through the grass on her face. She tried hard to open her heavy eyelids, held her breath and pushed aside the grass to look.

The person who was resting outside the grass seemed to have noticed the traces of her retreat, and was looking for her while pushing aside the weeds with his sword.

At their current speed, they would be able to find her by following the footprints in just a few breaths.

Shen Qiqi didn't dare to make a sound. She put her hands on the ground and slowly crawled. After a little distance, she ran as fast as she could into the depths of the jungle.

"Where is he? Chase him quickly!"

The swaying grass was like a signal, giving her nowhere to hide. The sound of sharp arrows piercing the air came from behind, and Shen Qiqi rolled to the side without even thinking.

Avoiding the flying sword, Shen Qiqi didn't dare to hesitate, bit her lip and crawled into the grass. This time she didn't dare to run again. She suppressed the rising fear and moved her body cautiously.

After confirming that she was nearby, the pursuers no longer tried to test her carefully. After cutting down some grass with their hands, they lit a fire to lure her out.

"You are crazy. This is a miasma forest. Once a fire breaks out and the poisonous gas rises, none of us will survive."

"I want to see if he wants to be poisoned and burned to death, or if he chooses to come out."

"It's been half a month, and we still haven't caught anyone. If we don't hurry up, we won't get any good results."

A faint voice came, but the voice trying to stop it never came again.

Seeing the gradually burning fire, knowing that they had already started setting fire, Shen Qiqi huddled in place, not daring to move.

The miasma roasted by the fire seemed to have a temper, and the smell became more and more fishy, ​​making people dizzy and even breathing was very difficult.

Shen Qiqi didn't care whether there were any side effects from taking too many Jiedu pills, so she stuffed another one into her mouth, and then she waited for the right moment, waiting for the fire to cover everyone's sight, and then started running for her life again.

She lost her direction, and there was fire sweeping behind her, so she could only run in one direction.

After an unknown amount of time, the firelight behind her was thrown away and darkness returned to the surroundings. She slowed down and dragged her tired body to rest under a big tree.

After she regained some strength, she continued to move forward. Smelling the increasingly disgusting smell, she knew that ahead was the swamp with the strongest miasma.

There was a swamp in front of her and pursuers behind her. It was a dead end in both directions. She hesitated for a moment, and suddenly remembered the chess game she played with Gu Tingshu.

After death, there is life. Only by fighting to the death can we have the chance of life.

Looking at the dark swamp ahead, Shen Qiqi made a decision, grabbed the clothes on her chest, opened her legs and walked in slowly.

The fire burned all night, and the entire grass had been burned away, and dark smoke filled the entire miasma forest and the sky above.

When the sun rose in the east, the wind blew in the mountains, and most of the thick smoke was blown away. Shen Qiqi, who had fallen asleep leaning against the big tree, slowly opened her eyes.

The miasma was too strong last night and she was suffocated by the smoke, so she couldn't help but take an antidote pill. If this continued, she wouldn't be able to go out in two days, and she was afraid she would have to stay here completely.

Knowing that the group of people who couldn't find her last night would surely come looking for her, she gritted her teeth and continued walking inside.

The poisonous gas from the fire-burned swamp was so strong that even after taking antidote pills, she still couldn't stay awake.

The fatigue of the past few days coupled with the miasma in her body, she could no longer hold on. She squinted her eyes and walked in what she thought was a long way, and then she fell over.

There were big trees on both sides of the grass. She thought it was a flat road, but when she fell down she realized it was a slope.

The body rolled all the way down, countless sharp grass and thorns cut into the skin, and every breath seemed to be delayed.

The pain was so painful that she couldn't make a sound. She turned all the way and passed out before she could reach the bottom of the mountain.

After an unknown amount of time, she heard a "hissing" sound, as if she was surrounded by something in a circle, and the scalp-numbing sound came from all directions.

She was clearly conscious, but she had lost control of her body. She was hiding like this, unable to even move a finger.

She was raised in a deep boudoir. Although she was not as good as the sisters in the mansion, compared to the women outside the mansion, she was also raised in a pampered way.

Except for the time from Jiangzhou to Kyoto, she had never traveled such a long distance again.

No body that had ever exercised could last that long, and she felt that she had reached her limit.

She couldn't regain control of her body for a long time, and the "hissing" sounds around her became louder and louder, making her feel desperate.

When she met the old prince before, she had thought about it and just let it go.

Her cousin agreed to her request at that time, and she thought that with her cousin's protection, she would never experience despair again.

But not long after that, she experienced it again. If the last time was an unforeseen disaster, then this time it was her fault.

Thinking about her cousin who had not been found yet, Shen Qiqi wondered whether he would be as full of negative emotions as she was now.

The more unable to move her body, the more active her thoughts became. Sometimes she thought that her cousin had broken out of the siege, and sometimes she thought that he might still be trapped in the miasma forest.

The poisonous gas in this miasma forest was so strong and there were so many poisons. She took so many antidote pills and was still poisoned. If her cousin hadn't gone out, I don't know if he could have persisted.

She just lay there and thought wildly. When a drop of cold water hit her face and she wanted to reach out to wipe it, Shen Qiqi was surprised to find that she could move.

She opened her mouth and tried to catch more rainwater. The rainwater in the miasma forest had an unpleasant smell and tasted sour, but she couldn't care about that much now.

After trying hard to swallow a few mouthfuls, her dry throat was moistened, and she finally opened her heavy eyelids.

The rainwater she drank caused waves of discomfort. Shen Qiqi did not dare to drink more. She slowly sat up with her hands on the ground. She was already frightened before she could fully see the surrounding situation.

She didn't know if she had rolled into a snake cave, but there were countless colorful snakes surrounding her.

But I don’t know why, but they seem to be very afraid of me now, so they dare to spit out letters a few meters away and don’t dare to get close at all.

She was surrounded by poisonous snakes. No matter how hard she held on, Shen Qiqi couldn't help but tremble and cry.

She covered her lips tightly, not daring to make the slightest sound. The chill emanating from deep inside her heart made her shiver.

She remained sitting for a long time, but when she saw that the poisonous snake had no intention of coming forward, she bit her lip and carefully moved out.

When she moved, the snakes seemed to have encountered something scared. They would retreat an inch as soon as she moved forward.

No matter what they are afraid of, if they dare not come close to you, that is the best.

Shen Qiqi took a piece of dead wood from the side and stood up slowly.

She took a few tentative steps and left the place where she was lying. When she saw that the poisonous snake still avoided her, she was really relieved.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the sky was dark. She couldn't tell what time it was or how long she had been asleep, so she could only take another antidote pill.
