Thinking back on this journey, Chu Bubai's image in everyone's eyes could be said to be perfect!
At this moment, everyone couldn't help but feel honored to be able to become teammates with such a person. Seeing that the Infant Ginseng was so close at hand, this was a blessing that couldn't be cultivated for several lifetimes!
Lin Yi couldn't help shaking his head when he saw this scene. Chu Bubai was really good at acting. Lin Yi had been on the Heaven Stage Island for more than a year and had seen many people, but he had never seen anyone as bewitching as Chu Bubai. ``
The best way to gain other people's trust was to make them worship you. Chu Bubai had done this to perfection.
Lin Yi became even more vigilant towards Chu Bubai, but he did not tell Huang Xiaotao about it. After all, the environment was too quiet. If there was even the slightest movement, no matter how soft the voice was, the people in front would be able to hear it.
What's more, even if he could hide from these people's eyes and ears, Lin Yi could not guarantee that Huang Xiaotao would be able to remain as calm and collected as him after knowing this. In front of a shrewd person like Chu Bubai, any unnaturalness would become a flaw.
Lin Yi didn't want to take this risk. He didn't make a sound along the way because he was pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger. If he revealed a flaw at this time, then he would have to give up halfway.
Under Chu Bubai's lead, everyone continued to follow the route on the map. More and more strange creatures similar to the rhinoceros spirit beast appeared in front of them.
Some had no head, some had no limbs, some only had half a body, and some were just a pile of bones. All kinds of strange and evil existences challenged everyone's visual nerves.
Although everyone had already heard Chu Bubai's explanation and knew that these things were not aggressive, knowing it was one thing, and seeing it with their own eyes was another matter. Even if they knew that these things would not eat people, they still could not help but feel their scalps go numb when they saw this creepy scene.
"Lin Yi … I … I'm a little scared … It's like it's real …" Huang Xiaotao stuck close to Lin Yi. He was so nervous that even his voice was trembling.
"It's okay. I'm here. They can't hurt you!" Lin Yi gently held her hand and comforted her.
"En …" Huang Xiaotao nodded weakly. Although she was still unconsciously nervous and afraid, as long as Lin Yi was holding her, she felt much more at ease.
Unlike the others who were kept in the dark, Lin Yi knew clearly after the ghost's reminder. These were not vengeful spirits that refused to leave, but low-level Ghost Talisman Devils. They were evil things left behind by ghost cultivators. The reason why they were not aggressive was because they were all defective goods.
But even so, when he saw such strange scenes one after another, especially when the surroundings were so gloomy and terrifying, even Lin Yi's forehead couldn't help but be covered in a layer of fine sweat. He was out of breath.
Not only Lin Yi and Huang Xiaotao, but Guo Dengtao, Wang Feng, and the others, especially Feng Hongyu, who had just made a big mistake, were also trembling at this moment. With every step she took, her whole body couldn't help but tremble. She no longer had the mood to taunt others as arrogantly as before.
Perhaps it was because she had been frightened just now that she had seen a little bit of a horrifying scene. Feng Hongyu immediately screamed in fright. Even the people behind her were nervous. At first, they were just afraid. Originally, they were just afraid, but with a woman like Feng Hongyu, even if they weren't sick, they would be scared to the point of mental illness.
Among the people, only Chu Bubai didn't show any signs of nervousness or fear. He didn't care about this at all. He strode forward calmly and confidently as before. Lin Yi, who was behind him, couldn't help but be puzzled when he saw this scene.
Was Chu Bubai fearless because he was ignorant, or was he already used to this kind of thing?
Even if this person really thought that his far-fetched explanation was the truth of the matter, in such a strange environment, it was impossible for him to not show any signs of abnormality, right? Even if the ignorant were fearless, there would always be a limit, right?
No matter how courageous one was, in the face of unknown and unfamiliar evil things, they would still be afraid. This was human nature, unless they were no longer human.
Chu Bubai was obviously not a human. After thinking about it, Lin Yi could only conclude that his behavior could be attributed to two situations.
Either this person wasn't as calm as he appeared, and was actually as nervous and fearful as everyone else, but he didn't want others to see through him, so he deliberately put on a brave face.
Or, this person had long been accustomed to everything in front of him, just like a forensic doctor who saw dead people every day. This kind of thing had become natural, and naturally, he wouldn't have any fear.
And what made Lin Yi even more puzzled was that Chu Bubai seemed to be very familiar with this place. He walked with his head held high, almost without any hesitation. Even if there was a blood moon illuminating the place, the light was definitely not good, not to mention that it was his first time coming to this place. Just by referring to the route map, wouldn't it take a lot of time? How could he not have the slightest bit of hesitation?
This in itself was already a big flaw. Chu Bubai had inadvertently revealed his fox's tail, but everyone was shocked by the strange environment, and their hearts were filled with fear. They didn't pay attention to his performance at all, but it was a pity that this couldn't be hidden from Lin Yi's eyes.
"Brother Chu, did you come here last time?" Lin Yi suddenly asked without batting an eyelid.
"Of course I …" Chu Bubai subconsciously wanted to answer, but then he couldn't help but stare blankly. He looked back at Lin Yi meaningfully, paused, and said, "I haven't been here before. From the map, this place is not far from our destination. If I came here last time, even if the time is limited, I would not be willing to go back empty-handed. Why do you ask?"
"Oh, actually, it's nothing much. I just noticed that Brother Chu seems to be very familiar with this area. Furthermore, we didn't encounter any danger along the way. I believe that for anyone, this should be a very unbelievable thing." Lin Yi smiled naturally, "That's why I thought you'd already made a trip there last time, Brother Chu. If it wasn't for you, we might've all been wiped out."
