Chapter 138 The Big Ship
"Heh, do you expect that someone who is proficient in the occult law suddenly doesn't want to live anymore and chooses to join Purgatory, and then logically arranges for him to come to the Island of the Dead to dig out the hidden treasures here? β
Lu Chen pursed his lips and smiled disdainfully.
But he already had vigilance in his heart.
The so-called treasure probably refers to the heart of the Demon Emperor, after all, it is a remnant of the existence of the same great sage, although it contains a very terrifying demonic energy, but such a sacred heart is by no means ordinary. If you can get rid of the demonic energy in it and only leave the blood of the Holy Dao, it will be a rare thing for cultivation, and it will be difficult to find in the world.
"It's really a bit naΓ―ve, but it's also a helpless way, after all, Purgatory can't pull down his face to find those extraterritorial Xuanfa inheritance families. You shouldn't know much about it, but the people there really don't have a lot of good things, not to mention the question of greed or not, and that kind of high-minded attitude alone is something I can't bear in purgatory. β
The ghost wolf shook his head helplessly, and couldn't help laughing.
"Well, it's useless to tell you this, let's go back and pack our things as soon as possible. The ship will come in a moment, and I will call you. β
With that, the ghost wolf turned around and left.
And Lu Chen and Mu Shuangying glanced at each other, but they didn't go to pack their things.
They don't have any bags or worries, they can just leave without packing anything. The ghost wolf also knows, and it's probably just a matter of giving them some time to relax. After all, if you have to leave so suddenly, there will be at least some waves in your mood.
The ghost wolf seems to be sinister and ruthless on the surface, but in fact, it is not like this in his heart, otherwise he would not have risked saving Mu Shuangying.
Probably he also needs to clean up his mood, after all, the person who was supposed to stay for another half a month will leave soon, and it will only be a few hours, which is too sudden.
"This guy, can't he be reluctant?"
Mu Shuangying's eyes were smiling.
"The ghost wolf really doesn't seem to be a bad guy, and it's a shame that you and I wanted to kill him before. But now it seems that this person's personality is still quite cute, and he is obviously reluctant, but he doesn't say it. β
"Hmm. β
Lu Chen only responded indifferently and lay back on the bed.
"It's only a few hours, and you still have to sleep?"
Mu Shuangying's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he couldn't understand Lu Chen's calmness.
"According to Purgatory's style of acting, after getting on the ship, the next round of training elimination will probably begin. Until then, it's important to keep your spirits up, because we don't know what will happen or what kind of situation we will face when we get on board. β
Lu Chen's rationality and calmness surprised Mu Shuangying, and after careful consideration, she couldn't find any reason to refute it.
"Also, if you have time, count the number of pills left on your body, and we will definitely use them later. This thing is used to save lives, and even the difference in one pill is enough to change many situations. β
"Okay, okay, I'll just do it. β
Mu Shuangying pouted helplessly, but still took out all the remaining pills on his body.
In front of Lu Chen, there was no reservation, and she was also showing her sincerity by doing so, wanting to extend the relationship between the two to the subsequent training elimination. Lu Chen did not refuse, and also took out all his pills and was honest.
"There are one hundred and ninety-three pieces in total, you take ninety-seven, I take ninety-six, and so on for the time being. β
Lu Chen carefully counted the number of pills and tried to distribute them fairly.
But in fact, Lu Chen saved more pills, and with such a fair distribution, it was Mu Shuangying who took a great advantage.
"You're even going to take care of others, and you're giving me one more!"
Mu Shuangying smiled and put away the pill and teased.
However, Lu Chen remained calm, and did not even respond, but seemed to be pondering something.
He's always like to think about possibilities before anything happens, so that the unexpected doesn't happen. Although it is troublesome, Lu Chen does it every time, but the accuracy rate is outrageous. In the past five months, under the condition of changing the training mode many times, Lu Chen has directly revealed his ability to anticipate the machine.
Despite this, Lu Chen has been doing it, after all, he can really guess it occasionally.
In this regard, Mu Shuangying always secretly disdains it, and it is just Lu Chen's habit, he never cares, but he will not bother. No matter what she said, Lu Chen wouldn't give any response, at least for this time.
After a long time, Lu Chen finally exhaled a breath of turbid air and ended his thinking.
"I don't know how you developed this habit. β
Mu Shuangying pursed his lips, indicating that he couldn't understand.
"There are so many unexpected things that you have experienced that not being able to react in time can have irreparable consequences. If you can anticipate something in advance, at least it is much better than being caught off guard, and you can also have a bottom in your heart, which can be used as comfort. β
Lu Chen glanced at her, still flat.
"I haven't gotten a lot of information from the ghost wolf, but it's definitely a lot, so I can speculate a lot of things, although the accuracy is not guaranteed... Do you want to hear it?"
"Don't listen. β
Mu Shuangying shook his head decisively.
"Seven times out of ten, the things you expected were wrong, and you couldn't even get to the edge at first. I don't have that kind of mind, but I still want to do this kind of thing that relies on my head, I don't even know what to say about you. β
"There's always a learning process. β
Lu Chen turned around and put away the pill, and returned to the bed to continue resting.
"Since you don't want to hear it, let's go back and rest quickly, things will definitely be more troublesome after that, and it will not be easy to deal with. I advise you to relax your excitement, your heart is beating so fast that you can hear it even if you don't want to. If you take on everything that follows with this kind of mood, the result will definitely not be good. β
"Got it, long-winded!"
Mu Shuangying grimaced, turned around and left the room, and went back to rest as Lu Chen said.
The rain fell silently.
There is no sunrise and moon setting on Dead Man's Island, and it is only possible to tell if another day has passed by a drizzle at a fixed time each day. Despite the rain falling every day, Dead Man's Island is never too wet, and of course, not too dry.
How to tell the time here, Lu Chen still hasn't learned, Mu Shuangying doesn't know, and they can only rely on this fixed drizzle every day to know that it's a new day.
Quietly, two hours of rain, even the ground will not become muddy, just a more moist breath.
Soon, the ghost wolf returned to this room, called Lu Chen and Mu Shuangying together, and left the building.
Since May, this is the first time that Lu Chen and the others have really gone down the mountain.
There had been various trainings as a killer, involving hiding and concealment, and Lu Chen had come to a position further down the mountainside. Except for the first day, it was the closest to the edge of the Isle of the Dead, but it was still on the mountain, and it had not set foot on this golden soft sand.
The sea breeze was salty, but it was very cool, and Lu Chen could also feel that the blood and qi that had been suppressed for a long time were boiling.
It's rare that it won't be suppressed anymore, and it's been a long time since I felt so happy and stress-free.
Mu Shuangying also laughed, she was calm enough, but her heartbeat was still a little too fast, obviously not as flat as it appeared on the surface. But what is her, Lu Chen didn't intend to ask, only stepped out of the scope of suppressing cultivation, but the aura that was instantly revealed on this woman's body brought a lot of pressure to Lu Chen.
It's not just a stage realm that is just revealed.
But what kind of realm her true cultivation is still in, she can't know.
And in this regard, Lu Chen is not surprised.
If you want to travel all over the world, how can you do it without strong strength. But what kind of strength can make her have the capital to travel, Lu Chen doesn't know, if it is enough to go on stage, it is just a joke.
At least the Four Imperial Realms are required.
Although he had seen through it, Lu Chen didn't say it explicitly, and still pretended not to know. He has never been able to see through what Mu Shuangying thinks, and what he can see is only what she shows. What kind of character is the real Mu Shuangying, he has always been a mystery.
Lu Chen has never let down his vigilance against her, and he has never fully trusted this person.
"The ship has arrived. β
After waiting for only a moment, the ghost wolf suddenly spoke, and the expression on his face was a little complicated.
In the distance, a small black dot gradually appeared, and soon came closer.
It's a big merchant ship, at least on the surface. It was very dilapidated and even leaked. There were also a number of worn-out crates on the ship's board, which, although they contained no cargo, were perfectly used as a means of deception, and made the ship look like a poor merchant.
The sea breeze blows and the smell of blood blows in the face.
The divine light in Lu Chen's eyes sank.
He could clearly smell the blood on the ship, and it was fresh, probably someone had died on it not long ago.
And soon, as if to confirm Lu Chen's thoughts, a tattered corpse was still thrown into the sea with bubbling blood. The smell of blood soon attracted the beasts that lurked beneath the surface of the sea, and they boiled. The blood spread farther away, and the corpse was soon completely consumed, leaving no dregs behind.
The occasional collision also affected the position of the large ship, and with a slight rocking, a figure stepped out of it steadily, standing on the bow of the ship and looking down. That cold gaze is chilling.
The big ship slowly approached the shore.
"Go up, be careful. β
The ghost wolf whispered.
Lu Chen and Mu Shuangying glanced at each other, and they both saw the shock and surprise in each other's eyes.
Obviously, Lu Chen hadn't expected this kind of thing to happen before.
"Your guess is not true, don't do this kind of thing in the future, it's a pure waste of time. β
Mu Shuangying struck a word at the right time, and then made a relaxed appearance and laughed again. She turned and walked towards the shore, and jumped onto the board of the boat in just a few steps. However, in mid-air, there was a flash of black light on the big ship, and the figure of Mu Shuangying, who was in mid-air, also froze suddenly, as if he had hit some invisible existence, and suddenly bounced back and staggered to the ground.
Not only Mu Shuangying, but Lu Chen's eyes also showed surprise and puzzlement.
The figure standing at the bow of the boat suddenly leaned over and stepped on the side panel, his cold gaze a little more calm.
"If you don't have the ability to break through the ban on getting on the boat, just roll into the sea and feed the fish, Lao Tzu doesn't need that kind of low-grade scum here!"
