Chapter 127: Chapter 100 Escaping is a Skill_2

It seemed they were giving Gong Jiu and others water...

Water?

"At least they have some conscience," muttered a man. They had crossed the Yellow Sand Area to get here and had been dying of thirst for a long time.

The four youths fed them quickly, but when they reached Shen Di and a few others who were more cautious, they met with refusal.

Who knew if there was something drugged in the water!

However, the other side... forcefully opened their throats, or coerced them with a scythe...

Seeing this, Gong Jiu and Sui Yi cooperated and drank the water without any resistance.

But they were sure, there was something in the water.

Sure enough, in less than fifteen minutes, almost everyone had their heads drooping and passed out unconscious, including Sui Yi and Gong Jiu.

Only when they saw this did the four youths feel relieved. They yawned, said goodbye to the Young Clan Chief, and returned to their own rooms, while the Young Clan Chief waited in place for a while before walking over again.

He carefully checked everyone’s condition.

However, when he came to Gong Jiu, he saw several red marks on the girl’s forehead and couldn’t help but smirk slightly.

It seemed he knew about this youth’s habits.

Then, he turned to Sui Yi, his footsteps pausing slightly.

He had a certain impression of Sui Yi, or perhaps... a very deep one.

Sui Yi, with her head down, was much shorter than him. With a puff of his eyes, he reached out towards Sui Yi...

He lifted her chin with his fingers, raising Sui Yi’s head.

After a quiet glance, he felt for Sui Yi’s breath to confirm she was asleep before releasing his hand and then walked with leisurely steps back to his own room.

And after the sound of the door closing, everyone in the square still had their heads down, including Sui Yi, who remained unconscious.

After watching from the window for a while, the Young Clan Chief finally turned to sleep.

And after an unknown amount of time passed...

It was deep into the night, the time when people are most deeply asleep. Sui Yi silently opened her closed eyes and raised her head.

Her eyes sparkled intensely.

--------

The water was laced with a drug that could make people faint, a fact Sui Yi and Gong Jiu were sure of from the beginning, but they had to drink it.

So they drank it, ready to pretend to pass out afterward...

However, the premise was that they didn’t really fall unconscious.

And the result was that Gong Jiu couldn’t withstand the effects of the drug and slept like a pig.

She even thought she’d be more likely to withstand it than Sui Yi, boasting about her stronger inner strength.

But she didn’t expect Sui Yi to have a special physique, immune even to Corpse Poison before, so the drug was ineffective on her, especially since she had used her Magnetic Sensation to neutralize the drug as soon as she drank the water.

With double assurance,

She was naturally awake.

But she waited several hours,

Only when the time seemed right and the sound of crickets and other small creatures could be heard from the brush, did Sui Yi prepare to act. After using her Magnetic Sensation to gauge the distances, lengths, and angles around her, she stared at the pile of bones on the ground for a long time...

After a while, she suddenly used the tip of her shoe to touch a slender white bone at her feet, which seemed to belong to a small animal like a chicken, duck, or deer.

Gathering inner strength in her shoe, she lightly tapped one end of the bone, and with a flick, the bone was tossed into the air...

Reaching the middle of her thigh, Sui Yi lifted her leg, topped the slender bone up, flying over her head, over the top of the pillar, tracing an inward curve, then falling straight down.

Angle, angle, the angle was off by just a bit!

If it landed, making a noise...

Sui Yi took a deep breath, solidified a wisp of Magnetic Sensation, as sturdily as possible... and nudged the bone downwards!

Tap...

The slender bone landed in Sui Yi’s palm.

It made a soft, slight noise.

Just a little bit.

Not even as loud as the sound of a cricket.

With the bone in hand, Sui Yi’s face was deathly pale, and cold sweat layered on her body, not from fright, but because focusing the Magnetic Sensation on the bone had caused her mind to sting with pain.

After resting for a while, she exhaled softly, and with her hands tied behind her back, she broke the bone in two, using the sharp edges like a knife to saw at the rope, which was as tough as a rubber band...

This rope was very tenacious, highly elastic, and impossible to break with sheer barbaric strength, seemingly made from the tendons of a large, wild beast.

Otherwise, for someone like Sui Yi and Gong Jiu, breaking ordinary ropes would have been effortless.

So the only option was to saw through it...

Sawing and sawing, she could not dare to make much noise.

This task wasn’t for the ordinary, but luckily Sui Yi was always composed and patient, sawing slowly but surely...

An hour later, the rope snapped... like a released rubber band..

Sui Yi carefully held the rope, and as she descended from the pillar, feeling soreness in her legs was secondary, her arms and palms feeling as if they were about to break.

Those who had tied them had been excessively harsh!

Stepping carefully on the ground, she twisted her wrists, checked her surroundings, and then silently made her way to Gong Jiu’s side. The woman was indeed sound asleep, with a peaceful expression like that of a child.

Sui Yi wasn’t sure she could carry the unconscious woman safely away on her own, as moving alone was very different from moving someone who was asleep...

Yet Sui Yi didn’t hesitate for long and quickly found a scythe discarded in a corner by the tribe’s people...

It was no surprise she found the scythe so proficiently because she had personally seen a middle-aged man carelessly toss it there in broad daylight...

After picking it up, she realized it was a bit dull, with many notches, but it was enough for the task.

This was much more useful than a bone spike, both ends of which she had worn down...

Just as Sui Yi had started to cut the ropes with the scythe, she hadn’t cut much before she heard a creaking sound from behind.
