Chapter 1747 Leaving the Chessboard?
With a roar, Smir staggered to his feet and pulled a short knife from his storage items.
Ma Han's pupils contracted, and he subconsciously released Nikita, stepping in front of Xu Xiao as a shield:
"What are you going to do!?"
"What am I going to do?" Smir sneered, then suddenly screamed hysterically.
You'll find out soon enough!
His right hand, holding the short knife, was raised high, and he made a sudden movement!
Nikita reacted swiftly, whipping out his spine with lightning speed.
However, the target was not the short knife in Smir's hand.
It was his neck!
"Snapped!"
The moment the whip cracked, the fox-man Smir's head flew high into the air.
"No one in this world has been born yet who can threaten me!"
Nikita gracefully put down his whip and delivered a triumphant declaration.
Ma Han and the rest of the Palu people were dumbfounded.
Even the few Lin family members who had just landed on the black-sailed ship and had only heard a few words without fully understanding what was happening were stunned in place.
Didn't we just say that Smir and Xu Xiao's lives are intertwined?
He raised his dagger, clearly intending to threaten everyone with his own life!
But why did you, Nikita, just kill Smir?
Did you kill someone who was about to commit suicide, thus preventing him from doing so?
What kind of threat elimination is this?!
"Oh no, the oath contract!!"
Ma Han was startled and quickly looked at the woman behind him.
The faint aura emanating from its body was already showing signs of fading.
Even a fool could tell that this means the oath and contract have begun to take effect!
"We have to get Smir back right away!"
Ma Han frantically rummaged through his storage items, trying to salvage the situation before the contract took full effect.
But in the next instant, he caught a glimpse of a white thorn shooting straight toward Smir out of the corner of his eye.
The power of leniency takes effect much faster than any resurrection item.
Before long, Smir's severed head was reattached to his neck, and he resumed breathing.
As the signs of the aura fading from Xu Xiao's body disappeared, Ma Han and the others breathed a sigh of relief.
Nikita finally realized that he had made a very serious mistake, and stood there awkwardly, not daring to say a word.
"You dare to kill me?! You actually dare to kill me?!"
Smir got up from the ground, still clearly in shock from being beheaded by the spinal whip, his body trembling violently.
It's impossible to say you're not afraid of death.
But after his resurrection, he was certain that even if he died, Xu Xiao would use his authority to save him!
Since there's no way to retreat anyway, we might as well take a risk!
If he can successfully disrupt the consciousness of the Chosen One Xu Xiao, then Smir will have succeeded today!
"You want me dead, is that it? Then I'll grant your wish!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the dagger was swung again, piercing straight into Smir's own heart!
Blood splattered everywhere, and the brief moment of calm was plunged into chaos once again.
Left with no other choice, Xu Xiao had to resort to his authority once again.
Although Smir hasn't been dead for as long as the missing Palu people, his level and strength are far superior to those of the Palu people.
Therefore, the consumption will only increase, not decrease.
If it weren't for the mushroom soup prepared by Lu Li that he had drunk earlier, which provided some nourishment, Xu Xiao probably wouldn't have been able to revive Smir so easily now.
Having learned from the previous experience, this time Ma Han took the short knife from Smir's hand before he could wake up.
At the same time, they also removed the equipment and props from the other party to prevent them from threatening suicide again.
as predicted,
Once Smir regained consciousness, he immediately raised his hand and stabbed himself in the chest.
After realizing he had no weapon left, he struggled to his feet and looked around for other ways to continue his suicide.
If Shi Bashi saw him in such a hurried state, he might mistakenly believe that Smir's loyalty to the slave group was so great that he was willing to sacrifice himself.
"Why are you stopping me? Don't you want me dead? Well, I'll die right here and prove you wrong!"
"Anyway, the chosen ones will be buried with me after I die! I'm not losing out either way!"
Smir, who was forcibly held down by Lin Cheng, shouted loudly, writhing like a maggot.
The chaotic scene continued, and it seemed unlikely to end anytime soon.
Seeing this, Ma Han knew that he couldn't continue without speaking kindly to Smir, so he changed his approach, ignoring the howling Oglin fox-man, and turned to Xu Xiao, saying:
"Squad leader, I don't think this guy will calm down anytime soon. Why don't you go back and rest for a while?"
"Once I've calmed him down, you can come back and continue searching for the missing Palu people, okay?"
"Anyway, it won't make a difference if it's just a little while longer, right, class monitor..."
however,
Throughout the entire process, Xu Xiao kept his eyes on Smir, seemingly not listening to what Ma Han said.
It wasn't until the latter gently touched the woman's arm that she seemed to wake from a dream and absentmindedly uttered a soft "hmm".
But this is nothing but meaningless rambling.
Xu Xiao's subsequent actions proved that she hadn't listened to a single word of Ma Han's advice.
The woman slowly stepped forward, gesturing for Lin Cheng to release the struggling Smir.
Then, just as the opponent was about to make their next move, they directly pulled on several white thorns, binding them tightly.
Not only restricting movement,
It exerted tremendous force on the thorns, crushing the bones of Smir's limbs!
Stimulated by the excruciating pain, Smir screamed again.
But the noise didn't last long.
Because a short while later, a thorn wrapped around his neck and forcibly sealed his mouth.
In this way, no matter how hard the Oglin foxes tried, they could only make a whimpering sound.
The woman's unusual behavior surprised not only the arrested man, Smir, but also...
This left the Palu people and Lin family members watching from the sidelines completely stunned.
Xu Xiao is known for being kind-hearted and soft-hearted, and rarely has any instances of intentionally hurting others.
What's going on now?
Really angry?
He seems to have a strong murderous intent?
"Don't worry, I'll heal you." Xu Xiao ignored the strange looks from those around him and spoke calmly to Smir, who was already covered in cold sweat from the pain.
"But the premise is that you don't try anything funny again."
"Take me to all the missing Palu people quickly, and then leave as soon as possible."
After he finished speaking, the white thorns that were bound to Smir's limbs pierced his body and began to repair the bones that had been crushed.
As the 'silence' was lifted, Smir instinctively asked, 'Why?'
Xu Xiao frowned slightly and replied with a hint of pain:
"War is imminent and unavoidable."
"The best way for a chess piece to live is to leave the chessboard."
Upon hearing these inexplicable words, Smir genuinely considered obeying them for a fleeting moment.
He even felt that Xu Xiao was genuinely worried about him, which was why she was giving him such advice.
Unfortunately, it only lasted for a brief moment.
Soon, Smir's attitude became unwavering and resolute.
