Chapter 4258: Lin Yi’s test
Translator: 549690339
Thinking back to their journey here, Chu bubai’s image in everyone’s eyes could be said to be almost perfect!
At this moment, everyone couldn’t help but feel honored. To be able to become teammates with such a person and see the baby ginseng so close was a blessing that couldn’t be obtained in several lifetimes!
Lin Yi couldn’t help but shake his head at this scene. Chu bubai was really good at acting. He’d been on Tianjie Island for more than a year and met many people, but he’d never seen anyone as mesmerizing as him.
The best way to gain someone’s trust was to make them worship you. Chu bubai had played this trick to perfection.
Lin Yi was even more wary of Chu bubai now, but he didn’t tell Huang xiaotao. After all, the environment was too quiet. Even the slightest movement, no matter how soft a person’s voice was, would be heard by these people.
Besides, even if he could hide it from these people, Lin Yi couldn’t guarantee that Huang xiaotao would be able to keep a low profile after she found out. In front of a smart person like Chu bubai, any unnaturalness would become a flaw.
Lin Yi didn’t want to take the risk-he’d been lying low all this while for the baby ginseng, and he’d be done for if he exposed himself now.
Under Chu bubai’s lead, the group continued to follow the route on the map. More and more strange creatures like the rhinoceros spirit beast appeared in front of them.
There were no heads, no limbs, only half a body, and even a pile of bones. All kinds of strange and evil existences constantly challenged everyone’s optical nerves.
Although everyone had already heard Chu bubai’s explanation and knew that these things were not aggressive, knowing it in their hearts and seeing it with their eyes were two different things. Even though they knew that these things would not eat people, they could not help but feel their scalps go numb as they watched this horrifying and strange scene.
“Lin Yi … I … I’m a little scared … It’s like it’s real …” Huang xiaotao’s body was stuck closely behind Lin Yi’s back as she spoke nervously, even her voice was trembling.
“Don’t worry, I’m here. They can’t hurt you!” Lin Yi held her hand and turned to comfort her.
“En …” Huang xiaotao nodded weakly. Although she was still unconsciously nervous and scared, as long as Lin Yi was holding her, her heart felt much more at ease.
Lin Yi was different from the others who were kept in the dark. After the ghostly thing’s reminder, Lin Yi knew that these weren’t vengeful souls that lingered around. They were low-level ghost demons, evil things left behind by ghost cultivators. They weren’t aggressive only because they were defective.
But even so, after seeing these strange scenes one after another, especially the surrounding environment, Lin Yi’s forehead was covered in sweat and he couldn’t breathe.
Not only Lin Yi and Huang xiaotao, but even Guo dengtao, Wang Feng, and the others, especially Feng Hongyu who just made a big mistake, were all trembling with fear. They couldn’t help but shiver with every step they took, no longer in the mood to mock others as arrogantly as before.
Perhaps it was because of the fear just now, Feng Hongyu immediately screamed when she saw a little bit of the horrifying scene. Even the people behind her were nervous. They were just scared at first, but with Feng Hongyu’s sudden appearance, they would be scared to death even if they were not sick.
Chu bubai was the only one who didn’t show any signs of nervousness or fear. He didn’t care about all this at all. He walked forward with his usual calm and confident steps. Lin Yi couldn’t help but wonder when he saw this scene.
Was Chu bubai fearless because he was ignorant, or was he already used to it?
Even if this person really thought that his vague explanation was the truth of the matter, it was impossible for him to not have any strange behavior in such a strange environment, right? Even if the ignorant were fearless, there should be a limit, right?
No matter how courageous one was, one would still be afraid of unknown and unfamiliar evil things. This was human nature, unless one was no longer human.
Chu bubai wasn’t an inhuman person, and Lin Yi could only conclude that there were two reasons for his behavior.
Either this person didn’t appear to be so calm and composed, or he was actually as nervous and afraid as everyone else, but he didn’t want to be seen through, so he deliberately put on a strong front.
Either this person was already used to everything that was happening in front of him, like a forensic doctor Who faced dead people every day. He was already used to such things and naturally would not have any fear.
What made Lin Yi even more suspicious was that Chu bubai seemed to be very familiar with this place. He walked with his head held high, almost without any hesitation. Even with the Blood Moon above his head, the light wasn’t very good. Moreover, it was his first time coming to this place. Just comparing the route to the map would take a lot of time, right? How could she be like him, without the slightest hesitation?
This point itself was already a big flaw. Chu bubai inadvertently revealed his fox tail, but everyone was shocked by the strange environment around them and panicked. They didn’t pay attention to his performance at all. Unfortunately, all of this couldn’t escape Lin Yi’s eyes.
“Brother Chu, have you been here before?” Lin Yi asked suddenly.
“Of course I …” Chu bubai was about to answer subconsciously, but he paused and looked at Lin Yi with a deep meaning,””No, I haven ‘t. From the map, this place is not far from our destination. If I had been here before, I wouldn’t have returned empty-handed even if time was limited. Why do you ask?”
“Oh, it’s actually nothing much. I just saw that brother Chu seemed to be very familiar with this area and that we didn’t encounter any danger along the way. I believe that for anyone, this should be an incredible thing.” Lin Yi smiled naturally, “That’s why I thought brother Chu had already made a trip there last time. If it wasn’t for you, we might have been completely annihilated.”
“So that’s how it is …” Chu bubai’s heart was obviously relieved. He let out a long breath and smiled,””Haha, you’ve misunderstood me. I’m actually the same as you. I’ve only seen the map in advance. Of course, I’m definitely more prepared than you.” (To be continued.) ”
