Chu Wenshang glanced at him and smiled bitterly. "You're really too honest. As long as we're not caught by the patriarch, people like Chu Hengding won't be able to take us down. I'm willing to bet that by the time we return to the middle island, we'll already be hated by everyone. They'll definitely pin the crime of stealing the Shadow Shifting Urn on us. Chu Hengding might even send a law enforcement squad to kill us openly. Do you believe me?"
"This …" Chu Tianlu couldn't help but choke. He hadn't thought of this, but with Chu Hengding and Chu Tianliang's despicable nature, it was only natural for them to distort the truth. At that time, not only would they be unable to accuse them, even protecting themselves would be a huge problem.
"Fortunately, the Shadow Shifting Urn is locked in the lowest basement. Normally, apart from the patriarch, only Chu Hengding can obtain it. No matter how they distort the truth, it's still an unavoidable loophole. Moreover, he's been in charge of the family's finances for all these years, and he's been playing all sorts of tricks in private. The patriarch has more or less sensed it, but he's turned a blind eye to it for the sake of his father-son relationship. Tianlu, you're the patriarch's direct grandson, so you're not inferior to them by blood. We might be able to retaliate," Chu Wenshang analyzed.
"Yes, that's all we can do." Chu Tianlu nodded and suddenly took out the Divine Knowledge Fruit. Looking at Chu Wenshang, he asked, "What should we do with this?"
The two of them had turned from enemies into friends. No matter who died, the other would have a hard time in the future. Only by sticking together could they fight for a chance. It was a bit irrational to monopolize the Divine Knowledge Fruit at a time like this. Although Chu Tianlu wasn't very smart, he could still see the big picture.
Chu Wenshang looked at the Divine Knowledge Fruit and licked his lips. He was very tempted, and even subconsciously had the urge to kill and steal the treasure. However, his rationality prevailed in the end, and he stared at each other.
Chu Wenshang wanted this Divine Knowledge Fruit even in his dreams, but it was also very important to Chu Tianlu. He was now at the Great Perfection of the Foundation Establishment Realm. Once he ate the Divine Knowledge Fruit, it was very likely that he would naturally break through the barrier and advance to the Golden Core Realm!
It was not suitable for anyone to monopolize it, but if they divided it equally, the value of this Divine Knowledge Fruit would be greatly reduced, and no one would be able to achieve their wish. What should they do?
The two of them simultaneously sunk into silence. A moment later, Chu Tianlu suddenly said, "Why don't we leave first and think of a suitable method? This place is extremely dangerous. We can't stay here for long."
"Extremely dangerous?" Chu Wenshang was stunned when he heard this. There was no one around, and there were no signs of spirit beasts. It was reasonable to say that it was not safe to stay here for long. After all, the tide was going to rise soon. But to say that it was very dangerous, where did that come from?
"Okay, let's talk while we walk." Chu Tianlu carefully looked at his surroundings. He took the lead and walked at the front. At the same time, he said, "This place is haunted!"
"Huh?" Chu Wenshang followed behind him, his eyes filled with suspicion. This little brat wouldn't deliberately make up lies to deceive him in order to keep the Spiritual Knowledge Fruit for himself, right?
"I'm not trying to scare you! Uncle Wen Shang, think about it carefully. Why would I take the initiative to jump into the sea? Why would I know that the Divine Knowledge Fruit is there? Don't you find it very strange? "Chu Tianlu laughed bitterly.
"It's indeed very strange." Chu Wenshang nodded, and said suspiciously, "You mean that someone is playing tricks behind the scenes?"
"It's not that someone is playing tricks, but that there really is a ghost. Earlier, a voice suddenly appeared in my head, and I couldn't help but jump into the sea. Just now, I found the Divine Knowledge Fruit because of this voice. I don't know where it came from, and I don't know what it wants to do, but my intuition tells me that it's best to leave first." As Chu Tianlu spoke, he quickened his pace.
"Is that so? So you humans all bite the hand that feeds you, don't you? " It was clearly still Chu Wenshang's voice behind him, but the tone and tone of his voice terrified Chu Tianlu. He subconsciously stopped, and a layer of goosebumps appeared on his body.
"Uncle Wen Shang, you …" Chu Tianlu hurriedly turned his head. Chu Wenshang was still Chu Wenshang, but this tone and tone were clearly the same as the voice that had appeared in his head before!
Chu Wenshang similarly stopped. A strange smile hung on his face, causing one to tremble with fear. He said sinisterly, "Human brat, I'm the ghost you spoke of. Are you afraid?"
"Ah!" Chu Tianlu jumped in fright. He hurriedly took a few steps back, pointed at the other party, and stammered, "You … You … Who exactly are you? Every wrong has its perpetrator, every debt has its debtor. I've never provoked you! "
"You haven't provoked me, but I'm rather hungry now, so I plan to eat you. What do you think of this reason?" Chu Wenshang was still laughing strangely.
"Who the hell are you? What did you do to Uncle Wen Shang? " If it was a normal person, they would probably have been scared out of their wits. Although Chu Tianlu was also very panicked, he still maintained a certain level of rationality and calmness.
"Nothing much. I'm just temporarily borrowing his body. Of course, he's already a dead man, because his primordial spirit has already been eaten by me. The early Gold Core stage is a bit weak, and the taste isn't that great, but it's better than nothing." Chu Wenshang laughed strangely.
After hearing this, Chu Tianlu immediately felt as if he had fallen into an icehouse. The early Gold Core stage Chu Wenshang had died just like that?
"What do you want?" Chu Tianlu retreated again. In his fright, he even threw the acute pain in his right shoulder to the back of his mind. Although he already had a bad feeling from the moment he jumped off the cliff and was always on tenterhooks, when he truly faced this strange and indescribable existence, he still felt a wave of fear. His back was already drenched in cold sweat.
"Your question is very strange. Since I spent so much effort to lure you down, of course it's to eat you. Could it be that I invited you here as a guest?" Chu Wenshang, whose body was already occupied by the monster, spoke with a strange expression.
"Eat us …" Chu Tianlu's heart jumped again. The so-called eat was obviously to swallow the primordial spirit. Although it wouldn't do any harm to the body, once the primordial spirit died, it would really die. Chu Tianlu was stunned. Seeing that the other party still didn't have any intention of directly attacking him, he inwardly thought that he definitely wouldn't be able to escape today. Thus, he gathered his courage and asked again, "Why me?"
This question was asked without rhyme or reason. If it weren't for the fact that this "Chu Wenshang" whose body was occupied had done this kind of thing many times before and was long accustomed to these people's reactions, he probably wouldn't have been able to react in time.
