276. The Mystery of the Ruins (Fourth Update, Please Vote for Me)
Everyone was a little tired after marching for a day. Wang Xinkai built a fire pit in the middle of the open space, lighting up everyone's faces.
Some people have dark faces because their hands are dirty and there is no place to wash them. When they wipe sweat, they will leave a dust mark on their faces.
The wounds on some people have begun to heal, but no matter how strong the practitioner's physique is, these D-level and C-level ones have not reached the level where they can recover directly on the same day.
Everyone was very tired. They sat silently next to the fire pit in the open space, gnawing on compressed biscuits and drinking water in small sips.
Wang Xinkai was very pleased that the team he led did not suffer any huge casualties, but he couldn't figure it out. This clearing must have been dug out by nearby wild beasts and used as a hiding place for them at night.
But the question is, why didn't the beasts come?
Also thinking about this issue like him was Lu Shu...
What Wang Xinkai was thinking was, could it be that there were so many people on his side that he scared away the wild beasts? This is a good feeling and saves trouble.
It was a pity that Lu Shu was smacking his lips. Could it be that the beasts knew that he was here? Who leaked the news...
He is currently holding 320,000 negative emotion points in his hand and is eager to eat the Star Fruit. However, so many people have no chance, and the strange trees outside are making moths. It is too weird for him to pee in the woods at this time.
I can only endure it any longer.
Lu Shu decided to continue his journey alone after dealing with the spy. For Lu Shu, he originally wanted to help in fights and so on. Since he was getting paid and receiving spirit stones, and he was fully capable of dealing with the spy, then this was him. What you should do within your job.
When Li Yixiao gave him 100 yuan to buy stinky tofu, Lu Shu didn't take it. That was because he didn't get remuneration for no merit, so he couldn't take it.
But he kept 5 yuan and got 95 back. That yuan was what he deserved for selling stinky tofu.
Now that I have other people's resources, it is reasonable to clean up a spy.
Since you are here to be a spy, you must be prepared to die.
In other words, if it weren't for finding a suitable opportunity to deal with this spy, Lu Shu would have run away after a wave of negative emotion points.
How could he not feel Li Li's murderous intent boiling over in the afternoon? He also wanted to kill Li Li at that time!
He was hesitating about this matter when he handed the sword back. However, Lu Shu and Li Li were worried about the same thing. He was not sure about killing each other silently because he didn't know what other cards the spy had. .
When he killed Chang Hengyue, Lu Shu was frightened by the opponent's weird movement skills. However, Chang Hengyue was too different in strength from him, so the power of that movement technique was not used at all.
Wang Xinkai discussed with Li Li, Fu Hongxue and a total of 6 D-level masters about the night watch. This was easier to allocate. Everyone would have one hour each, but Wang Xinkai was willing to lead by example and stay on duty for 3 hours.
With Wang Xinkai's role model, others had no objections. Li Li smiled and said: "It's appropriate to take turns to watch the night. I'll be on the second shift."
The night watch is to prevent wild beasts from sneak attacks. Although it is difficult for wild beasts to rush through the weird woods to attack them in the middle of the night, but in this weird ruins, who can guarantee whether there are any creatures that can ignore these strange trees?
In fact, Lu Shu felt that there was definitely a beast that could ignore this forest, because he discovered a situation!
Snakes were obviously the most numerous wild beasts in the woods, but Lu Shu didn't see a single snake in the clearing yesterday. Originally, he was worried that there would be a wild python disaster in the clearing, but in fact there was not.
So let’s infer from this: Could this forest be used to judge life forms based on temperature? It's not impossible.
In fact, everyone says that snakes are cold-blooded animals. Do snakes have no body temperature? No, strictly speaking, it is a cold-blooded animal. It adapts to the temperature of the environment. When its body temperature drops, it will find ways to bask in the sun. When its body temperature rises, it will hide in a dark place.
Lu Shu didn't know if what he was thinking was right. He was just guessing. Who knew what these strange trees relied on to attack.
Maybe it was based on his spiritual power. After all, he didn't really see any snakes moving in the trees at night.
The clearing became quiet, and everyone fell asleep early. Lu Shu picked up a pile of leaves for himself early, and lay on the ground to rest, thinking that he didn't know when he would find the opportunity to kill Li Li. Then go alone to find treasures and relics.
According to what Wang Xinkai and others said, Chen Baili should have concentrated on searching for the formation eye after entering the ruins. However, since the ruins are so big, there must be a lot of treasures inside. Could it be that after finding the formation eye, everything else can be discarded?
After all, once the formation eye is found, the ruins will disappear. Isn't it a pity?
According to Lu Shu's thinking, shouldn't we launch a blanket search and plow through the ruins?
It doesn’t make sense!
However, at this moment, Lu Shu suddenly remembered the door in the mountain and river seal that could not be pushed. Where did that door lead to? Could it be said that by opening that door, one can enter the Beimang ruins again? !
Although Lu Shu didn't know if his speculation was correct, if that was the case, Tianluo Diwang's actions would make sense. Ordinary cultivators came in to train and look for treasures, while Tianluo went to look for the formation. Even if there was no time to collect the treasures in the ruins, It doesn’t matter if it’s an item, anyway, as long as you get the Formation Eye, you’ll still have the opportunity to enter this independent world!
Lu Shu's heart beat faster when he thought of this. If this were true, the Beimang ruins would be his own private land! Inside... there are so many spears! Moreover, the formation eye was captured too quickly last time, and there are still many places in the ghost general's mansion that have not been explored!
This... although he can't push it away at all now, it is always good to have hope, and it makes him happy just thinking about it.
…
Wang Xinkai glanced at his watch. It was already 1 o'clock at night. He patted Li Li next to him and said, "Brother, it's your turn to watch the night."
Li Li rubbed his eyes and smiled: "Okay, you can go to sleep quickly. I'll call Fu Hongxue in the next shift. Don't worry."
"Okay, then I'm going to sleep," Wang Xinkai closed his clothes and went to rest on the ground.
Li Li waited for a full 20 minutes and suddenly whispered: "Captain?"
Seeing that Wang Xinkai didn't respond, he finally stood up and walked towards Lu Shu. He held a steel needle between the middle finger and index finger of his right hand. The steel needle shone with a faint blue color under the firelight.
Li Li knew very well that as long as he stuck the needle into Lu Shu's neck, the other party would not even have a chance to react. He would immediately become paralyzed and then die of heart failure. Even those with power awakenings would not be exempted.
He carefully observed Lu Shu's breathing. He must have been fast asleep. Li Li walked over quietly. As long as this needle was inserted... he would not notice it!
As a result, at this moment, Lu Shu, who was lying on the ground and sleeping soundly, suddenly sat up and looked at Li Li with great energy: "The Imperial Army asked me to bring you a message!"
Li Li was so frightened that the steel needle almost dropped to the ground when he shook his hand. If I believe your lies, I will be the emperor's army!
"Negative emotion value from Nomaki, +999!"
