Everyone was a little tired after a day of traveling. Wang Xinkai built a fire pit in the middle of the clearing, illuminating everyone's faces.
Some people's faces were black because their hands were dirty and there was no place to wash them. When they wiped their sweat, it would leave a dusty mark on their faces.
Some people's wounds started to heal, but no matter how strong a cultivator's physique was, these D and C class people had not reached the level where they could directly recover on the same day.
Everyone was very tired. Everyone sat quietly beside the fire pit, nibbling on compressed biscuits and sipping on water.
Wang Xinkai was very pleased that his team did not suffer any major casualties. However, there was one thing he could not understand. This empty space must have been dug out by the nearby beasts to be used as a hiding place at night.
But the question was, why didn't the wild beasts come?
Lv Shu was also pondering the same question as him …
Wang Xinkai was thinking, could it be that there were too many people on his side, so the wild beasts were scared away? This was good, and it saved him a lot of trouble.
Lü Shu smacked his lips, feeling that it was a pity. Could it be that the wild beasts found out that he was here? Who was the one who leaked the news …
He had 320,000 negative emotion points in his hands and was in a hurry to eat the Star Fruit, but there was no chance with so many people. Moreover, the strange tree was causing trouble outside. It was too strange for him to say that he was going to the forest to pee.
He could only bear with it.
Lü Shu decided to continue on his own after dealing with this spy. To Lü Shu, he originally wanted to help fight. Since he was getting paid and had the spirit stones, and he was fully capable of dealing with this spy, it was something that he should do.
Back then, when Li Yixiao gave him 100 yuan to buy the stinky tofu, Lü Shu did not accept it. That was because he did not deserve it, so he could not accept it.
However, he kept 5 yuan and got back 95 yuan, which was what he deserved from selling the stinky tofu.
Now that he was using other people's resources to deal with a spy, it was reasonable.
Since he was a spy, he had to be prepared to die.
Speaking of which, if not for finding a suitable opportunity to deal with this spy, Lü Shu would have long run away after farming a wave of negative emotion points.
How could he not feel Li Li's killing intent in the afternoon? At that time, he also wanted to kill Li Li!
When he handed the sword back, he had been hesitating about this matter. However, Lü Shu and Li Li had the same concerns. He did not have the confidence to kill the spy silently because he did not know what other trump cards the spy had.
When he first killed Chang Hengyue, the other party's strange body technique made Lü Shu frightened. It was just that Chang Hengyue's strength was too different from his, so he could not exert the power of that body technique.
Wang Xinkai, Li Li, Fu Hongxue, and the rest of the D class experts discussed the matter of night duty. This was easier to allocate. Everyone would be assigned one hour each, while Wang Xinkai was willing to lead by example for three hours.
With Wang Xinkai's exemplary role, no one else had any objections. Li Li smiled and said, "It's only right that we take turns to be on night duty. I'll take the second shift."
Being on night duty was to prevent wild beasts from sneaking up on them. Although it was difficult for wild beasts to rush through the strange forest to attack them in the middle of the night, who could guarantee that there were no creatures that could ignore these strange trees in this strange ruin?
In fact, Lü Shu felt that there were definitely wild beasts that could ignore this forest. This was because he discovered something!
In this forest, snakes were the most numerous wild beasts, but yesterday, Lü Shu did not see a single snake in the open space. Originally, he was worried that there would be a python disaster in the open space, but in fact, there was no such thing.
Based on this, could it be possible that this forest determined living things based on temperature? It was not impossible.
In fact, everyone said that snakes were cold-blooded animals. Did snakes have no body temperature? No. Strictly speaking, snakes were cold-blooded animals. They would change their temperature according to the temperature of the environment. When their body temperature dropped, they would find a way to bask in the sun. When their body temperature rose, they would hide in dark places.
Lü Shu did not know whether he was right or not. He was just blindly guessing. Who knew what these strange trees relied on to attack?
Perhaps it was based on spiritual power. After all, he did not really see snakes moving in the trees at night.
Lv Shu had already picked up a pile of leaves and laid them on the ground to rest. He wondered when he would be able to find a chance to kill Li Li, and then move out alone to find treasures and ruins. Lv Shu's mind was filled with thoughts of when he would be able to find a chance to kill Li Li, and then move out alone to find treasures and relics.
According to Wang Xinkai and the others, Chen Baili should have focused on looking for the formation eye after entering the ruins. But the ruins were so big, there must be a lot of treasures inside. Could it be that after finding the formation eye, he could abandon everything else?
After all, after finding the formation eye, the ruins would disappear. Wouldn't that be a pity?
According to Lü Shu, shouldn't he launch a carpet search and plough through the ruins?
It didn't make sense!
However, at this moment, Lü Shu suddenly remembered the door in the Seal of Mountains and Rivers that could not be pushed. Where did that door lead to? Could it be that after opening that door, one could enter the Northern Sea Ruins again?!
Although Lü Shu did not know whether his speculation was right or not, if this was the case, then Tengra's actions made sense. Ordinary cultivators came here to train and look for treasures, but Tengra went to look for the formation eye. Even if they did not have time to search for the items in the ruins, it did not matter. Anyway, as long as they got the formation eye, they would have a chance to enter this independent world!
Thinking of this, Lü Shu's heart beat faster. If this was the case, the Northern Sea Ruins would be his private property! Inside … there were so many spears! And last time, he took the formation eye too quickly. There were still many places in the ghost general's mansion that he had not explored yet!
This … Although he could not push it away at all, it was always good to have hope. Just thinking about it made him happy.
…
Wang Xinkai glanced at his watch. It was already one o 'clock at night. He patted Li Li next to him, "Brother, it's your turn to be on night duty."
Li Li rubbed his eyes and smiled, "Alright, hurry up and go to sleep. I will wake Fu Hongxue up the next shift. Don't worry."
"Alright, then I'm going to sleep." Wang Xinkai closed his clothes and went to sleep on the ground.
Li Li waited for a full 20 minutes, then suddenly opened his mouth and whispered, "Captain?"
Seeing that Wang Xinkai did not respond, he finally stood up and walked towards Lü Shu. There was a steel needle between the middle and index fingers of his right hand. The steel needle shone with a faint blue luster under the light of the fire.
Li Li was very clear that as long as he stabbed the needle into Lü Shu's neck, he would not even have a chance to react. He would immediately be paralyzed, then die from heart failure. Even a strength-type awakened was no exception.
He carefully observed Lü Shu's breathing. He should be fast asleep. Li Li walked over quietly. As long as he stabbed the needle … no one would know!
At this moment, Lü Shu, who was originally sleeping on the ground, suddenly sat up and looked at Li Li with bright eyes, "The Imperial Army asked me to bring you a message!"
Li Li was so scared that his hand trembled and the steel needle almost fell to the ground. Who would believe you? I am the Imperial Army!
"Negative emotion points from Lü Mi Zhan, + 999!"
