"Yes, it is the heart of the Spiritual Awareness Fruit. According to the ancient book, its effect is equivalent to at least five Spiritual Awareness Fruits, perhaps even more. Moreover, once it is picked, the source of all the essence of Great Snake Island will be cut off, and there will no longer be any Spiritual Awareness Fruits in the future," Chu Tianlu explained.
"There's actually such a divine object!" Bai Jingze's eyes began to shine again, and Zhang Qingfeng could not help but reveal a covetous expression. For them, an ordinary Consciousness Fruit was already tempting enough, let alone the heart of the Consciousness Fruit!
Not to mention them, even Lin Yi could not help but feel excited when he heard this. He was currently having a headache about how to deal with the nine spirit tumors, and it was obviously not enough to rely on the heart of the Consciousness Fruit. If he could get his hands on the heart of the Consciousness Fruit, he might be able to survive.
Chu Tianlu knew he had made a slip of the tongue when he saw the crowd's eagerness. He hurriedly poured cold water on them. "What I've said hasn't been verified. Let alone the Divine Knowledge Fruit's core, even the so-called snake belly is unknown. Everyone, please don't have too high of an expectation."
"Whether it's a rumor or not, can't we just find a way to verify it?" Bai Jingze was in high spirits. Seeing that Chu Tianlu was hesitating to speak, he quickly struck while the iron was hot. "Tianlu, with your style of getting to the bottom of things, I believe you must have a countermeasure. Am I right?"
"I do have some ideas. I have carefully studied the map of Tai Snake Island. If there really is a snake belly, its entrance is likely to be at the snake's head, so as long as we can verify this, I believe we can draw a conclusion about whether the heart of the Consciousness Fruit really exists," Chu Tianlu said without reservation.
When Bing Wuqing heard this, she began to frown and stared blankly at Chu Tianlu. Since this secret was to repay Boss Lin Yi, before he got Boss Lin Yi's approval, Chu Tianlu could not reveal it to others. Otherwise, this was just a guess. If it really spread like wildfire, what value would it have?
This cunning guy! Chu Tianlu's image in Bing Wuqing's eyes worsened. She believed that he was not stupid enough to not think of such an obvious thing. He was clearly taking advantage of this opportunity to gain benefits for these two so-called friends.
Chu Tianlu could not help but feel a little guilty. He did have this intention, and it was quite inappropriate to say it, but before he said it, he carefully looked at Lin Yi's face. Seeing that the other party had no intention of stopping him, he only said it half-heartedly. On one hand, he was his savior, and on the other hand, he was a friend of many years. He was in a dilemma.
Come to think of it, Lin Yi really didn't care much about this. Bai Jingze and Zhang Qingfeng together weren't a threat to him at all, and this was a secret Chu Tianlu had discovered. Even if he'd promised to repay Lin Yi with this secret, he didn't say that he couldn't reveal it to others.
Moreover, even if it was purely out of politeness, it wouldn't be nice to stop them. Lin Yi was a reasonable person in this regard.
In this regard, Lin Yi was still very reasonable. "The snake head position? That place is too dangerous, and I'm seriously injured here. It seems that I can only part ways with you, Heavenly Road." Bai Jingze's tone was full of regret. Without waiting for Chu Tianlu to say anything, he cupped his hands and said goodbye. "The mountains will not change, and the rivers will flow forever. We will meet again. Take care."
"Uh, take care, Brother Jingze." Chu Tianlu hurriedly returned the greeting and watched him turn and leave in a daze. Bai Jingze's straightforward departure was really beyond his expectations.
But thinking about it, it was reasonable. Everyone came here for the Consciousness Fruit. Now, not only did they not gain anything, but they were also seriously injured and almost lost their lives. If he were in Bai Jingze's position, he would probably have already accepted it. Otherwise, no matter how much he coveted the Consciousness Fruit, he would not be able to do anything.
"Brother Jingze is really a free and easy person." Chu Tianlu could not help but praise.
Lin Yi almost burst into laughter when he heard this, thinking that this guy was being sarcastic, but after taking a closer look at his expression, he found that this seemed to be what he really thought. Lin Yi did not know whether to laugh or cry. This guy was not just unkind, he was sincere and honest to a certain extent.
"Let me remind you, make fewer friends with this kind of person in the future. That way, you can live a little longer. Otherwise, you won't even know how you died." Lin Yi looked at Bai Jingze's receding back with a playful expression.
"Huh?" Chu Tianlu was confused.
At this time, Zhang Qingfeng, who stayed next to him, nodded and said meaningfully, "Brother Lin is right. I advise you to stay away from him in the future, otherwise you will really be killed."
"How could that be?" Chu Tianlu was shocked when he heard this. Lin Yi's words to him were a little too deep, and he could choose not to believe it. But now that even Zhang Qingfeng had said this, he had no choice but to treat it with caution. It should be known that in terms of friendship, he and Zhang Qingfeng had known each other even earlier than Bai Jingze.
"Tianlu, you're good at everything, except that you're too simple and honest." Zhang Qingfeng shook his head with a bitter smile.
Chu Tianlu frowned and fell silent for a moment. Although he was loyal to his friends, he was no fool, after all. He had long noticed that there was something wrong between Zhang Qingfeng and Bai Jingze. It was only because Lin Yi and Bing Wuqing were present that he did not have the chance to ask about it in private.
The three of them had been friends for many years. In his opinion, even if there was a little misunderstanding between them, it would be fine as long as they talked it over. But looking at Zhang Qingfeng's expression, he suddenly felt that things were not so simple.
"What exactly happened?" Chu Tianlu asked hurriedly.
"It's nothing much. It's just that when I was running for my life yesterday, Bai Jingze suddenly attacked me with his sword." Zhang Qingfeng's tone was very calm, but the hatred in his eyes could not be concealed. He had been holding it in and did not flare up in front of Chu Tianlu, but this was not a small matter that could be brushed aside with just a few words. The deeper he buried it, the greater the hatred would be.
"Something like that actually happened!" Chu Tianlu finally realized the seriousness of the matter. He had seen the scene yesterday with his own eyes. He could figure out what Bai Jingze's intention was when he attacked Zhang Qingfeng.
For a moment, Chu Tianlu could not accept it. The good friend he had tried so hard to befriend for so many years was actually such a person with a human's face but a beast's heart. How could he endure this?
"You may know a person's face but not his heart. This can be considered a lesson for you, but it's not a bad thing," Lin Yi said calmly from the side.
