After learning of An Jing's identity, no matter what her unspeakable purpose was, the best way at this time was to first subdue this teammate who had already killed two teammates.
But just when Cheng Shi was about to turn around to support Hong Lin, the mushroom-footed people gathered around the old patriarch and ran to the main house, shouting frantically to the divine messenger at the door:
"Mr. Baldhead! The Huangdeng is missing! Mr. Baldhead, the Huangdeng is missing!"
"Fuck!" Cheng Shi frowned, thinking that the puppet master's trick of opening the door was really amazing. Following the old patriarch's shout, he was directly held at the door, unable to turn around.
The timing was too coincidental, so coincidental that he always felt that he had fallen into a trap again, but there was nothing he could do. If he wanted to win this game, the mushroom-footed people were still the key, so he could only improvise and perform on the spot to fool the mushroom-footed people in the tribe first.
So Cheng Shi's thoughts quickly turned, he smoothed out his frown and put on a smile, then he stepped out of the door and closed the door of the main house casually.
In this way, he was facing the entire tribe of mushroom-footed people outside the house, while Hong Lin was facing a puppet master and her three puppets inside the house.
The disappearance of Huang Deng frightened the old patriarch. He didn't notice anything strange about Cheng Shi at all, and had no intention of paying attention to what happened in the main house. He staggered to Cheng Shi and prostrated himself before him.
"Mr. Baldhead, the wild lantern given by our Lord has not been returned to the altar. Does this mean that He has doubts about our piety?"
The old patriarch raised his head tremblingly, the fear and uneasiness in his eyes could not be hidden no matter how hard he tried. He didn't even dare to look into Cheng Shi's eyes, for fear of seeing a blaming look, even though he didn't know what had happened.
Cheng Shi looked at the crowd of mushroom-footed people lying in front of him, listened attentively to the movements in the house with his ears perked up, coughed twice, and helped the old patriarch in front of him up with a smile.
“Don’t panic. I understand your eagerness to be forgiven for hundreds of years, but since He has sent me, you should be more calm.
Your panic now seems more like a questioning of Him."
Although he had a smile on his face, it looked more like he was hiding a dagger behind his smile.
As soon as these words were spoken, the old patriarch who had just been helped up fell down again with a bang.
"No, no, no! Lord Baldhead, please understand. How dare we question our Lord? We are just worried about the whereabouts of the holy artifact. We come here... to ask for instructions. Yes, to ask for instructions.
I was a little rude in a hurry, please forgive me, sir, please forgive me!"
"Please forgive me, sir! Please forgive me, sir!"
The panic of mountains and seas was overwhelming. Cheng Shi felt the fear of the mushroom people and sighed in his heart.
He was also reluctant to use this big stick policy to hit the mushroom-footed people first, but the problem was that there was a silent war going on in the house, and if he didn't find a way to divert these people's attention first, he was afraid that he would be exposed.
"Rise up, you and I are all His people, there is no distinction between upper and lower.
The lamp is still safe and sound in my hand. When yesterday's test was over, the lamp had lost its function and was taken back by me, so you can put your heart back in your stomach."
The old patriarch was stunned when he heard this, and then he suddenly realized.
Yes!
The tests are over. How could the benefactor allow this barren lamp that emits [decay] and blasphemes [prosperity] to remain in the hands of the mushroom-footed man?
Reasonable, very reasonable.
His mood suddenly flew from the abyss to the sky. When he thought that he only had three more tests to go before he could get His forgiveness, the old patriarch felt better again.
He stood up tremblingly and asked with a pious look on his face:
"Mr. Baldhead, when will today's test begin?"
Haha, you ask me, who should I ask? When the text is finished, I will edit it again.
Cheng Shi smiled slightly, and just when he was about to find an excuse to delay, the door of the main house opened, and Hong Lin walked out with a rosy face, and it seemed that he had enjoyed the fight.
Not only did I have fun fighting, but I also won.
Cheng Shi was delighted and raised his eyebrows and said to the mushroom people:
"The test of today is this: constant devotion.
We, the people of [Prosperity], should always maintain a state of prosperity. Even in the land of exile, we should always eat to strive for prosperity. So today we will select a tester from the tribe and let him carry a wild lantern to forage for food in the Sighing Forest.
Before we set off, I will block his memory of my group and let him act on his own as usual. We will then record all his actions and strictly examine the food he finds to prevent you from mixing inappropriate thoughts into your offerings to Him.
This was also a test of your piety. Of course, judging by the food stored in the tribe, you passed.
But you must know that His test is not to be taken lightly, so it must be carried out today.
But don't worry about safety. I will quietly follow him and ensure the safety of your people."
As soon as the words fell, the entire mushroom-footed people were in an uproar.
What excited them was not the recognition of the tribe by the gods, but that there was finally a test that allowed the mushroom people to show their piety.
Then almost all the mushroom-footed people stood up, patted their chests and assured themselves that they must be the most suitable ones for the test, hoping that the old patriarch would push them out.
Cheng Shi was a little surprised to see this scene. It can be seen that this tribe is really pious.
The old patriarch did not dare to take the matter of selecting people on his own, so he asked the messenger of God for instructions. Cheng Shi rolled his eyes and randomly picked out a "bachelor".
He looked around and found that there was no opposite sex standing next to this mushroom-footed man, so he pointed him out and made him the "Warrior of the Day" of the mushroom-footed tribe.
