While saying this, Lin Yi intentionally or unintentionally glanced at Zhang Qingfeng. Through his previous observation, although this guy was not as bad as Bai Jingze, he was not a good person either. His mind was gloomy and he might sell out Chu Tianlu at any time. Making two friends like this was simply a sin.
"Maybe." Chu Tianlu was depressed and smiled bitterly.
"Okay, let's continue on our way." Lin Yi did not have the time to accompany him in his melancholy and immediately led everyone to the snake head position. As for Zhang Qingfeng, he just followed, not caring about him at all.
On the other side, after Bai Jingze left Lin Yi and the others, he did not really leave Tai Snake Island. In fact, with his current injured state, it was quite risky for him to go back alone. At the very least, he needed to find a hidden and safe place to recuperate first. Most importantly, he was unwilling to leave Tai Snake Island empty-handed.
After listening to Chu Tianlu's speculation just now, normal people would not be willing to leave, let alone a greedy person like Bai Jingze.
He not only wanted the Spiritual Knowledge Fruit, but also the legendary Spiritual Knowledge Fruit's Heart, but the problem was that he did not have the strength to do so. Bai Jingze knew very well that if he continued to follow Lin Yi's group, even if he found the Spiritual Knowledge Fruit's Heart, he would never have a share.
The only way was to find the so-called snake belly before Lin Yi and Chu Tianlu did anything. Only then would he have a chance to snatch the Spiritual Knowledge Fruit's Heart.
But the key problem was that his strength was not good enough, far from it.
With his current strength, let alone the Spiritual Knowledge Fruit's Heart, he could not even reach the snake head position. After thinking about it, Bai Jingze decided to look for helpers on the spot.
However, in a place like Tai Snake Island, helpers could not be found easily. It depended on luck. If one's luck was bad, no matter how wide one's connections were, it would all be for naught.
Bai Jingze's luck wasn't bad. Before long, he ran into a familiar face. It was Chu Tianlu's younger cousin, Chu Tianliang!
Having been friends with Chu Tianlu for so many years, Bai Jingze naturally recognized Chu Tianliang, and Chu Tianliang naturally recognized Bai Jingze. Although the two of them didn't interact much, they could be said to be birds of a feather. Their relationship was rather good. Even if they couldn't be considered close friends, they were at least old acquaintances.
"It's you!" When Chu Tianliang saw him, he immediately became vigilant. He had a guilty conscience in his heart. This time, he schemed and schemed for a long time, yet didn't manage to kill Chu Tianlu. Now that he was alone and encountered Chu Tianlu's close friend of many years, he couldn't help but feel nervous.
Bai Jingze didn't know about this at all. Seeing this, he was delighted. "Tianliang, long time no see."
"Yeah, long time no see." Chu Tianliang still maintained his vigilance.
"Don't be nervous. Although my relationship with your older cousin isn't bad, it doesn't mean that I will definitely stand on his side. The two of us can be considered to have similar temperaments. I feel that we should be able to become even better friends, no?" said Bai Jingze with a smile.
He was very clear about the competitive relationship between these two cousins. He could even guess that Chu Tianliang would spare no cost to get rid of Chu Tianlu. This was a ready-made ally. The only unfortunate thing was that this guy's strength was too low. He was at the peak of the late stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm, so he really couldn't be put on the stage. However, according to what he knew, Chu Tianliang's father relied on his family's authority to give his precious son quite a few powerful trump cards. He couldn't be underestimated.
"Brother Jingze's words make sense." Chu Tianliang immediately laughed. He knew very well that the other party wasn't a good person. They were on the same side, so he let out a sigh of relief. He immediately asked, "Looking at your appearance, you seem to be quite injured. Speaking of which, where are you preparing to go?"
"I'm preparing to leave Tai Snake Island. Why don't we go together?" Bai Jingze deliberately probed.
"This …" Chu Tianliang was a little hesitant. Going out together was a good proposal for him, but he was really unwilling. If he allowed Chu Tianlu to return to the Chu family of the middle island, it would be a huge problem for him. Therefore, he had to take this opportunity to cut the weeds and eliminate the roots. Unfortunately, he encountered the same predicament as Bai Jingze, and his strength was not enough.
"It seems that there is something unfinished. I just separated from Tianlu. Why don't you let your cousin meet?" Bai Jingze continued.
"Where is he?" Chu Tianliang's eyes lit up.
"If nothing unexpected happens, he should be heading towards the snake head right now. I know a small path. Why don't we take a shortcut and wait for him?" Bai Jingze tempted. He didn't want to reveal the news of the Fruit of Consciousness's heart to the other party for the time being. He just wanted to use Chu Tianlu as a cover to lure the other party to travel with him.
"You know that I'm going to deal with him? Did he tell you? "Chu Tianliang frowned and looked at him.
Of course not. Ever since they met, Chu Tianlu had never mentioned this matter. Bai Jingze had only guessed it, and Chu Tianliang's reaction gave him the answer.
"Is it important whether he told me or not?" Bai Jingze smiled but did not answer. Instead, he said in a bewitching tone, "I think the most important thing is that there is room for us to work together. Or, do you no longer have any thoughts about Chu Tianlu? Are you ready to resign yourself to your fate and return to the middle island?"
"You want to work with me?" Chu Tianliang looked at him vigilantly and doubtfully said, "With your many years of friendship with him, if you cooperate with me, could it be that you have already fallen out with him and become enemies?"
"That's not necessarily the case. My cooperation with you can only be regarded as a mutual benefit." Bai Jingze shook his head.
"Tell me in detail. How exactly is it a mutual benefit?" Chu Tianliang was obviously not easy to fool. They were the same kind of people. If he did not ask clearly in advance, he would most likely be used by the other party. Or, to be precise, the cooperation between the two of them was to use each other. It was just a matter of how much they used each other.
Bai Jingze hesitated for a moment. He knew that if he wanted to use Chu Tianliang for nothing, he would not have enough experience. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Chu Tianlu said that there is an extremely mysterious snake belly under Tai Snake Island. Inside, there is the Spiritual Awareness Fruit's Heart, which can be called the source of all Spiritual Awareness Fruits. The entrance to this snake belly is likely to be at the snake's head. I want to avoid them and try my luck."
"Spiritual Awareness Fruit's Heart?" Chu Tianliang's eyes suddenly lit up. Although he did not understand what it was, he could see its importance from its name.
"Are you interested?" Bai Jingze asked despite knowing the answer.
"Of course, but how will we divide it?" Whether the Spiritual Awareness Fruit's Heart truly existed was still unknown, but the two of them had already begun to discuss how to divide the spoils.
