Countless pairs of metal eyeballs emitting a faint blue light suddenly rose from under the rotten leaves in various parts of the Sighing Forest. They pierced through the soil and stretched out of the rotten leaves, mechanically turning a few circles, and then all looked towards the place where the contract reappeared.

Yes, these mechanical eyeballs did not care about the whereabouts of the twisted python. They just sensed the lost and reappeared contract, and then emitted a faint light, pointing the direction for the "companions" who were looking for the contract in the forest.

After sensing the gathering place of countless dim lights, more than a hundred mechanical giant pythons that looked like twisted pythons slowly crawled out from their sleeping place underground, screaming and twisting, blending seamlessly into the rushing group of pythons, and rushing towards the place where the contract was.

Meanwhile, on the other side.

Cheng Shi disappeared, but he did not return to the void. Instead, he used the dice he had hidden earlier in the mushroom-foot tribe to return to the tribe that was looking forward to the return of the messenger of God.

When he and Hong Lin finalized all the details of the plan in the void, this poor mushroom-foot tribe abandoned in the Sighing Forest was never mentioned again.

The two of them tacitly skipped them because they both knew that the lives of NPCs did not count in the face of trials.

Sacrifice is sacrifice, and the death of thousands of people cannot cause a single splash in the past history.

But Cheng Shi knew that Hong Lin was not a cold-blooded player. She thought of them, but was too busy with her own plans to take care of them, so she chose to remain silent.

In fact, Cheng Shi himself also thought of them. These were a group of innocent lives and should not become victims of experiments or gambling.

When the two powers are in conflict, Cheng Shi has no choice but to choose the lesser of two options, but if he can grab some of this "asset" that may become extra chips on the table, he is willing to take it.

So after finding the opportunity, he rushed back to take a look.

Cheng Shi was not sure whether the Fungus-Footed People had been exposed to the Sighing Forest the moment the contract was torn; nor was he sure whether Epsilon had already killed all the Fungus-Footed People in anger when they ascended into the void and then went to guard the place where they disappeared; he was even more unsure whether the Fungus-Footed People had been eaten up by countless [Decay] creatures when night fell just now...

But what if?

With this kind of luck, Cheng Shi appeared in the main house of the mushroom-footed people. Then he saw countless trembling and frightened mushroom-footed people circling around the main house and praying in a low voice for the name of "prosperity". The old patriarch just held a blazing white lamp, standing in the middle of the house, constantly comforting these tribesmen who were gradually "withering" due to "decay".

He said: "The messenger of God will not give up on us. Amir's disappearance does not mean that He has withdrawn His forgiveness. This may be the fourth test, and the content of the test is our courage.

We must muster up our spirits, inspire the power of prosperity, and use our flesh and blood to prove to the Lord that we, the mushroom-footed people, are His most devout followers!

Even at the last moment, we will not become [corrupted], but will still be the people of [prosperity]!

My compatriots, don't give up, the messenger of God is on his way back!"

But this sentence has been said so many times since night fell that almost no one in the tribe believes the old patriarch's words anymore.

They thought that Amir's behavior angered the benefactor, causing Him to withdraw His blessing. The mushroom-footed people who lost the blessing of prosperity were like rabbits thrown into the mouth of wild beasts, with no chance of survival.

The spread of [decay] is not scary; what is scary is the despair raging in people’s hearts.

And just at this moment, Cheng Shi appeared!

He listened to the trembling and hoarse voice of the old patriarch, and as soon as it fell to the ground, he shouted loudly to the crowd of mushroom-footed people in front of him:

“Praise [Prosperity]!”

All the mushroom-footed people were stunned, and then looked up in disbelief at the returning messenger of God, Lord Bald!

He appears again!

He showed up again when the tribe needed him most!

Cheng Shi's appearance instantly ignited the piety of the mushroom-footed people. They were so excited that they were at a loss, and tears flowed down their cheeks. Countless people covered their mouths and noses and sobbed and crawled on the ground, shouting the name of "Bald Lord" and the name of the god [Prosperity], hysterically venting their fear and gratitude in their hearts.

The old patriarch didn't dare to believe that what he said was true. When he saw the messenger of God really returned, he fell to the ground with a "bang" and cried more mournfully and loudly than any other member of the tribe.

"Mr. Bald, you are finally back. He has not given up on us. I am telling the truth. He has not given up on us!"

Didn't give up? Well, maybe.

Cheng Shi sighed in his heart and helped the old patriarch up from the ground.

The old patriarch quickly moved closer to Cheng Shi's face and asked in a low voice:

"Master Bald, is this really a test from Him?"

Cheng Shi smiled and nodded, but what he said next stunned the old patriarch and directly wiped out the thunderous cheers of the Fungus-Footed Tribe, rendering all the Fungus-Footed people who were shouting praises speechless.

He just cleared his throat and shouted mysteriously and sacredly:

"The next test you will take is the fourth test, the courage to enforce orders!

In the coming time, please all His people...

Give up resistance, embrace [decay], become a part of this Sighing Forest, and prove your determination and... courage to return with absolute obedience and piety!"

"ah!!??"

"What!?"

"Mr. Bald, is the oracle...wrong?"

"How could this happen... How could this happen..."
