2978 Uneasiness, power (1)
The cultivators were caught off guard by what had just happened.
No one would have thought that the well-built cultivator would sneak attack and kill someone, then escape in a small boat.
The words he said before he left clearly had a hidden meaning, and all the cultivators understood what it was.
The peaceful situation was only temporary. Sooner or later, a fatal battle would break out because of food.
Only the survivors had the right to get what they wanted.
This situation was actually within the expectations of the cultivators, and they had already made preparations in secret.
However, if it was not necessary, no one would be willing to go that far. After all, in the purple light world, many things depended on luck.
The slightest bit of carelessness would be the outcome of death.
Through the operation of the robust cultivator, the cultivators also saw some secrets and secretly remembered them in their hearts.
For example, if they used all the food, they could summon a small boat and use the corpses of cultivators as sacrifices to calm the attacks of sea monsters.
This special maneuver should be the way to escape from the wooden boat.
However, in order to do so, he would have to kill a cultivator and ensure that he was not injured.
The atmosphere, which had been slightly eased because of their previous cooperation, suddenly became tense again.
Everyone was afraid that the cultivators around them would suddenly launch a sneak attack, so they were all on high alert.
The cultivators were very clear that as long as they stayed on the ship, a chaotic battle would happen sooner or later.
It was impossible to determine who would be the last one to survive.
However, if he killed them and snatched their food as a sacrifice to obtain the boat, he could avoid this battle.
If he could obtain two portions of food, he could ensure that he could last longer while escaping.
As long as he could live to the end and torture others to death, he would have a chance to get what he wanted!
Of course, the one who lived the longest was definitely the last cultivator on the ship, because he could control the most food.
However, the risk was too great. It was better to escape from the flat-bottomed wooden boat. As long as he could escape, he would definitely survive.
On the calm wooden boat, the atmosphere became more and more tense.
Tang Zhen, who had remained silent from the beginning, retracted his gaze from the pitch-black distant sea. After which, he swept his gaze across the surrounding cultivators.
His eyes were calm, like the ocean under his feet, giving off an unfathomable feeling.
When those cultivators met his gaze, they actually felt a sense of guilt and avoided Tang Zhen’s gaze.
Compared to the robust cultivator, the remaining nine cultivators on the ship were actually more afraid of Tang Zhen.
Although he didn’t say a word, he gave off a strange feeling, as if one would definitely die if they fought him.
Perhaps the strong cultivator realized this, so he chose to escape.
This was because he was extremely clear that if he did not escape, he would most likely die in Tang Zhen’s hands.
Just as the cultivators were pondering, Tang Zhen suddenly spoke. His voice contained a power that made one feel calm.
“I know what you’re all thinking. You’re worried that your companions will attack you, take your bodies and food, and escape from this flat-bottomed wooden boat.
Corpses could be thrown to monsters in exchange for safety, food could be sacrificed to get a boat, or they could fight hunger and last until the last moment.
Moreover, you’ve already determined that it won’t be long before a fight breaks out on this ship, and only one person can survive in the end.”
Tang Zhen’s eyes swept over the nine cultivators as he spoke up to this point. He then said in a loud and clear voice,”But have you ever thought about where these thoughts came from? did that cultivator deliberately pass them on to you?
If you believe the message he sent, you will do as he says, kill your companions, and snatch their food, and see all your companions as your competitors?”
Hearing Tang Zhen’s question, all the cultivators were stunned.
They carefully analyzed Tang Zhen’s words and were shocked to discover that everything was indeed conveyed by that robust cultivator.
Food could indeed be sacrificed to resist hunger, but it did not necessarily need to be obtained by killing his classmates like the strong cultivators.
The words of the robust cultivator were definitely half true and half false. In fact, he was deliberately misleading the cultivators and making them kill each other.
He was suddenly enlightened, but he felt a sense of fear and cursed the strong cultivator for being vicious and sinister.
If it wasn’t for Tang Zhen’s reminder, it was estimated that some cultivators would have chosen to take action after a period of time.
“I believe in your words. If anyone dares to harm you, I’ll be the first one to kill him!”
The cultivator who had been injured earlier had already recovered. While the other cultivators were mulling over this, he had already stood up and expressed his support.
I also believe in this Sir. If he had any ill intentions, that was the best opportunity to strike.
The cultivator who had been thrown out of the ship and rescued by Tang Zhen also stood up to support Tang Zhen and expressed his trust in his character.
With the support of two cultivators, it was equivalent to controlling one-third of the ship’s strength. Moreover, the other cultivators were all alone.
The other six cultivators were not qualified to fight against Tang Zhen. If they chose to make a move, they would only end up being killed in seconds.
Therefore, regardless of whether they were willing or not, they had to admit that Tang Zhen already had the right to speak on this ship.
“I want to tell you that although the situation is dangerous, it is not as extreme as you think.
As long as everyone listens to my command, I will do my best to help you get what you want.”
When they heard Tang Zhen’s words, all the cultivators ‘spirits were lifted.
They had entered the purple light world and risked their lives in order to obtain what they wanted.
This was not an easy task. Eight out of ten cultivators who had entered the purple light world had returned empty-handed.
If an accident were to happen, there might be no return.
The reason for this was that the purple light world was unpredictable and strange.
Being in such a situation often made one feel confused, not knowing how to obtain the items they needed.
However, Tang Zhen was different. He and that robust cultivator must have experienced a similar scene before. Thus, he knew the true use of the food.
Now that he had made a promise to lead everyone through this difficult situation, the credibility was extremely high.
Most importantly, every cultivator needed different items, so there would be no competition.
Furthermore, he had never heard that there was a limit to the number of people who could obtain the dream item. Therefore, as long as he persisted until the last moment, he would definitely be able to obtain what he wanted.
Tang Zhen’s experience of being misunderstood by others had actually become the main reason why the cultivators were convinced. They were willing to take this risk and chose to follow Tang Zhen.
If the situation was not right, they could retreat and they would not suffer much loss.
we believe in your words. Please take care of yourself and lead us through this difficult time!
A cultivator looked at Tang Zhen and cupped his hands in greeting.
I’m the same. I’m willing to listen to your arrangements.
compared to that despicable man, Your Excellency is undoubtedly magnanimous and worthy of our admiration and trust!
Since they had already made their choice, the cultivators naturally wouldn’t be stingy with their words of praise. They first praised Tang Zhen.
Tang Zhen smiled and nodded. He said to the cultivators, since you all believe me, then I will tell you the truth. There is a crisis hidden in the dark, I wonder if you have realized it? ”
