Chapter 1011: Chapter 1009: Overacting
After walking for two Shichen, everyone stopped to rest. All the dried food was gone, and they could only roast the hunted prey to eat.
Ah Jiu and Wufu sat together, tearing the chicken leg in their hands while whispering to each other.
“What do you think?” Ah Jiu glanced at the young man sitting on a stone far away. He had also hunted so prey, a rabbit, but obviously lacked experience. While the others were eating, he was still plucking the fur.
Wufu chewed on the chicken leg at and said, “He acts very convincingly.”
“Is it him?”
“Hard to say!” Wufu’s mouth curled sideways.
Yang Yibin’s words and actions displayed a remarkably convincing deanor of terror and vigilance, but in her eyes, it was excessive.
From entering the jungle until now, it’s been at least a dozen days. Even if sothing happened, one should get accustod and calmly adapt, but him, he was still very terrified and wary.
Indeed, in such a place, survival of the fittest and vigilance is a necessity, but after so much experience, one’s psyche would either completely collapse or beco robust and resilient, inevitably leading to so change.
But this person did none of that; he simply portrayed the appearance of terror after losing his entire team and being left alone, seeking a team to journey with.
Such a fearful person still surviving—could he be without skill?
And those with skill, like Wufu and the others, would they show such fear even though their original team of nearly twenty was now down to just a few?
Most importantly, Wufu noticed his microexpressions when lying.
He hid it well and very convincingly. At least Chi Yi and the others didn’t detect anything wrong, but when he said he ca from Green Sword Villa, Wufu still noticed his eye movent.
When recalling, people’s eyes usually look left, and when speaking falsehoods, they tend to move right.
She clearly saw his microexpression. Perhaps his mories weren’t wrong, but if he’s telling the truth, why wasn’t there a discrepancy when he said what he did, yet when claiming to be from Green Sword Villa, his eyes moved right?
Of course, he might naturally be a skilled actor, and Wufu might have misjudged, but such an act, such coincidence…
Haha.
Ah Jiu said, “Overdoing it can be worse than not enough.”
Wufu murmured, “It seems we might actually be near Cloud Tower!”
Ah Jiu nodded in agreent.
Wufu saw Yang Yibin frustratedly placing the wood aside and smirked slightly, saying, “I’ll go have a chat with him.”
“Be careful.”
Wufu took the remaining half of the chicken over.
Yang Yibin, upon seeing her approach, was initially startled and then stared with envy at the roasted chicken in her hand.
Wufu handed it to him.
“For ?” Yang Yibin’s face lit up with joy.
Wufu said, “You’ll starve if you wait for your cooking skills to improve.”
Yang Yibin blushed, lowering his head, “I can’t do it; all the dried rations are gone. Previously, it was my masters who hunted, but now…”
“Where did they et their end?” Wufu dragged over the wild rabbit, asking casually while adeptly handling the rabbit. This one was quite plump; couldn’t let it go to waste.
“By a river, we encountered a group of crocodiles. It was terrifying; all the masters were eaten.” Yang Yibin said quaveringly.
Wufu’s eyes flashed, “Oh, what a coincidence, we ran into them too.”
Yang Yibin looked at her in terror.
Wufu returned his gaze, “So, you must be lucky, managing to escape in such circumstances. Quite skilled, aren’t you?”
Yang Yibin seed not to have heard her, just mumbling dejectedly to himself, but what does it matter, they’re all dead, all dead…
