Lu Chen couldn't say what it was, but he had an obvious feeling.

The waste room, as the name suggests, was originally just a place to store waste, but it was not a place for people to live. And for many days on the ship, more than a month, these people had to survive, without food or fresh water, because they abandoned their original conscience as human beings in order to survive. And what kind of changes their hearts have undergone, no one can say.

Not only the feminine man, but everyone in the waste room is dangerous enough.

"And now, do you want to keep tracking them?"

Mu Shuangying squatted down and looked at the downed poison needles closely.

"The poison applied to it is unusual, and only in small amounts, it can cause the soil to corrode black. If this kind of thing really touches the skin, probably the poisonous needle will only pierce or cut the skin, and the poison in it can kill people, and they may not even have time to take the pill. ”

Lu Chen glanced at it, but he didn't care.

Mu Shuangying's eyebrows frowned slightly, and his face was a little solemn.

"Probably this place is really the territory of a poisonous beast, so there are no birds singing or insects. If this is the case, then everything is easy to explain, those people in front of you have already solved the poisonous beast, and the poison on its body has been refined in some way. You need to be careful every step after that, after all, the poison is so strong that even a small touch can kill you. ”

She knows Lu Chen's character very well, and once she decides something, it is difficult to turn back.

And Lu Chen was indeed as she knew, just swept her eyes around her, and then followed the footprints straight away. In this regard, Mu Shuangying could only sigh slightly and follow closely.

Half an hour later, the footprints were finally gone.

Still in the jungle, and along the way, there were some traces of picking scourge everywhere, and it was obvious that those in the waste room had noticed that there were many elixirs and strange herbs and natural treasures around them, and they would not leave a trace like locusts passing through. The traces of excavation, the traces of picking, are very obvious.

There are also quite a lot of traps.

Occasionally, some poisonous needles hidden under the fallen leaves are almost impossible to see, and the degree of concealment is really beyond the imagination of ordinary people. In addition, there are also potholes, hanging nets, and even various poisons that are attracted to the vicinity as a means to block the people who are following them.

In the past half an hour, Lu Chen has walked on the verge of death more than once, probably because he is too unlucky or not alert enough.

Fortunately, Mu Shuangying had reminded him before, so that Lu Chen had the pill in his mouth and was ready to swallow it at any time. Just like the first time he encountered the poisonous needle hidden under the fallen leaves, Lu Chen stepped on it without paying attention, and the poison applied to it made half of his body completely numb in an instant. If the pill hadn't been swallowed in time, it might have been killed.

"It's too dangerous, why don't we give up, and the footprints are gone. Where exactly those people went, there was no trace at all, and that was the end of it. Obviously, the previous footprints were deliberately left by them. ”

Mu Shuangying exhaled a breath of turbidity, and his face was faintly pale.

She seemed to be frightened by the various traps that she had never touched in her time on the Isle of the Dead. And as a killer, setting traps and the like is not a must-learn classification. There are ten people in the waste room, and it is still unknown who has such abilities and knows such methods. And after half an hour of tracking, they couldn't find any useful traces except for these deliberately left footprints.

Now, the footprints are gone, and it's impossible to tell which direction these people went.

"We're misestimating those guys in the wasteroom..."

Mu Shuangying was sure that there was no danger around, and finally relaxed a little, but he didn't dare to move at will.

Lu Chen only observed the surroundings in silence, his eyes full of vigilance and suspicion.

"Those guys, indeed, are not to be underestimated, maybe the ability to fight head-on is not outstanding... Hey, do you remember the basic elements of being a killer? Killers never fight enemies head-on, and when they were on the ship before, the way of choosing a room to fight for it had no effect except to test the explosiveness and reflexes of a killer at the moment of opening the door. It's weird, don't you think?"

Hearing this, Lu Chen's pace of exploration was slightly stunned.

He also began to meditate.

Mu Shuangying obviously said the key point, but he couldn't figure out why. But obviously, the way to choose the room is not in line with the test that a killer should have, and the battle for survival between the wastes is more of a test of the killer's ability to survive in extreme environments.

Even if they didn't know how to survive here, how to pass it, it was the most basic test for the killer.

Ability to obtain intelligence.

"It's weird. ”

Lu Chen finally nodded, but suddenly looked at Mu Shuangying, his eyes showing a little solemnity and obvious hostility.

"You've been to the rubbish room. ”

He began to retreat, all the while also being on guard around him.

Mu Shuangying was stunned, unable to understand why Lu Chen had such a reaction.

But she soon figured it out, and her expression sank.

"You doubt me?"

"In this half an hour, whether you are in front or behind, you have never stepped on any trap. On the contrary, whether I walk in front or behind, I am the one who encounters the trap. I have good reason to suspect that you are in collusion with those people, including the topic you have caused before, and there is enough possibility that it is in your calculations. You've learned so much about January on the ship, so it's easy to grasp the key to a lot of things. ”

Lu Chen was still retreating, approaching the ancient tree on the side, leaning his back against him.

He didn't feel at ease behind him, and his eyes kept sweeping around.

Presumably, in his guess, Mu Shuangying had really colluded with the ten people in the waste room and reached some kind of cooperation. Just like a test of the ten people in the waste room, the ability to obtain information does not preclude trading with those who know it. Reciprocity, mutual assistance, and no breaking of any rules.

Mu Shuangying's face became gloomy, and he was even a little angry.

"I didn't collude with them, whatever you say, facts are facts and can't be refuted. I think I have a clear conscience, and even if I am sorry for you, I will not count you as you say. What's more, the method of incorporating the elixir into your mouth was also proposed by me first, and if it weren't for that, you would have died by now. So, you have to think I'm lying, too?"

"Isn't it?"

Lu Chen sneered, the scabbard was on his waist, and his right hand was lightly placed on the hilt.

He tensed his nerves to the limit, and swallowed the elixir in his mouth without hesitation, restoring his strength to its peak.

"I can't guess why you're doing that, but you're acting so strangely today that such vague words don't prove your innocence or make me trust you. On the contrary, my suspicion of you has only increased. ”

"Trust? You've never trusted me, have you? ”

Mu Shuangying sneered, his silver teeth clenched, and a cold light flickered in his eyes, obviously really angry.

"You've never really trusted me since the Isle of the Dead, and you've never let your guard down on me. Dead Man's Island, on the ship, and even now, you've always been like this, and now you say you can't trust me anymore?

Lu Chen didn't answer again, only narrowed his eyes, and the knife in his hand tightened.

After a short silence, Mu Shuangying's aura finally calmed down and gradually calmed down.

"I swore with my heart that I would never do anything unfavorable to you, even if I occasionally deviated, but I was helpless. You should believe me, at least, the current situation does not give me the idea of completely violating the Dao heart and dying with you. It is impossible for a cultivator not to know what the consequences will be if you break the Dao Heart Oath, and I will never easily break the Dao Heart Oath. If even this doesn't allow me to gain your trust, then half a year, or even a year and a half..."

She didn't continue to speak, but the helplessness was evident in her eyes.

If it really can't continue, the relationship between the two that has been maintained for half a year will be severed.

Even if he always seems to be detached, at least the surface has never deviated.

"I know your suspicions, I can understand your reasons, and besides, blame me for not letting you know me well enough. This is the biggest drawback between you and me, and it is also the strongest enemy of whether you and I can trust each other. If you can't resolve this suspicion, you will probably have to go your separate ways after that. But you should know what the situation is here, if you don't have teammates around you who you can trust completely, you won't even be able to fully relax, and it will quickly reach your limit and become very dangerous. So will I. ”

"Hmm. ”

Lu Chen's gaze swept over Mu Shuangying's face, and he only responded casually, and quickly turned around, with no less vigilance in his eyes.

Mu Shuangying could naturally see it, but he was helpless, after all, the situation was indeed like this now, and it was no wonder that Lu Chen was there. Even if she were someone else, she would also suspect that all of this seemed to be too much of a coincidence, as if she was really in cahoots with the ten people in the waste room to reach some kind of unknown deal, and wanted to plot it here.

But what the truth is, Mu Shuangying himself knows very well.

"I hid my strength. ”

After a moment of hesitation, she finally chose to compromise.

But that's all, and there's no more to it.

Lu Chen's eyes showed a little strangeness, he had known about this matter for a long time, but he had never said it thoroughly. However, now Mu Shuangying told it calmly, but he didn't say what the reason was, obviously he couldn't say it, or he had some kind of scruples, which could be seen from the expression on his face.

"I can indeed see those traps, but I don't say them, and they are also to hide their original strength. After all, such a hidden trap, if I really came to the stage realm, I can't detect it, otherwise it will definitely arouse your suspicion. Therefore, I can only avoid any accidents for you as a result of those dangers, or at least I can be sure that those elixirs will save your life. They are not rare things, but they are very targeted to dissolve many poisons. As for the reason for my concealment of strength..."

At that, he shook his head slightly.

Can't say.

He only sighed helplessly, this explained everything, whether Lu Chen believed it or not, he could only explain it to such an extent. If you ask again, the consequence can only be a parting of the ways.

"I knew earlier that you were hiding your strength. ”

Lu Chen bit the corner of his lip, hesitated slightly, and finally only snorted coldly, his body relaxed a little, probably reluctantly accepting Mu Shuangying's explanation.

But there was no trace of vigilance or hostility in his eyes.

"There are not many people who have died in the Four Imperial Realms under my sword, you can do it yourself. ”
