Calculating the time, it will soon be dark.
Looking at Hong Lin in front of him, who no longer had a trace of [prosperity] and was instead filled with the power of [decay], Cheng Shi sighed in his heart.
Although the bald man was tricked into joining the gambling game by himself, the "favor" he owed him this time was a bit too big.
She trusted herself too much, so much so that she dared to put all the divinity she had collected for such a long time on herself. This trust was so heavy that it gave Cheng Shi an illusion, that is:
Baldness won't...
Are you playing dumb?
Did she realize long ago that she was vulnerable to this, so she went all in and put all her trust on the line?
This soldier who doesn't look very smart, can't be a smarter person than me?
hiss--
Not really.
But no matter what, Cheng Shi felt that he should be worthy of this trust, so he said:
"Are you ready? We're going out."
Hong Lin, who is plagued by [Corruption], is now far less energetic than before. She is barely maintaining the balance between the two forces of faith in her body. She can only try her best not to be completely eroded by [Corruption] and become an "accidental oath-breaker".
"Heh, to be honest, I'm suddenly a little nervous. I'm afraid that you, the fate weaver, can't protect me. I feel like I've seen my own end."
“Relax, you are now the favored one of the gods of Decay, a messenger from the Tomb of the End. No creature in the entire Forest of Sighs is as noble as you. They will not attack you, but will only follow you.
So, as long as we don't run into that Epsilon, there's no need to worry about safety.
The breath of the final tomb will make them surrender."
“Oh, I am a player of [Prosperity], but I am actually acting as a messenger of [Decay]. Isn’t this a blasphemy to Him?
Cheng Shi, don't lie to me, I won't be the one losing out in this bet, right?"
"......"
Your bet is quite... No, you are quite pessimistic.
Cheng Shi patted his face, put on a confident smile and said:
"I am not afraid of sharpening my weapons before the battle, but I am afraid of losing my men before the battle. Don't worry, fate will favor us.
Besides, if we think about it from another perspective, isn't this a blasphemy against "decay"?
Now the more you blaspheme, the more... well... satisfied your benefactor will be."
"......" Hong Lin glanced at Cheng Shi with a strange look in his eyes, thinking that what he said was a bit strange, "I suddenly feel that for a believer of Prosperity to pray for the blessing of Fate is also a blasphemy to Him."
"......"
Cheng Shi was confused. It was not a good thing to hesitate when the time came. So he pushed Hong Lin and said:
"Don't be so blasphemous. Let's go. Once the arrow is shot, there is no turning back. If you give up now, all the pain you just suffered from the erosion of [Decay] will be in vain."
Hong Lin chuckled and raised his hand.
"It's useless to urge me. I don't even have the strength to open the void now. Cheng Shi, don't tell me you can't even open the void. Go ahead."
Cheng Shi smacked his lips and took out the tongue that eats lies again.
To be honest, before getting this tongue, Cheng Shi really didn't dare to guarantee that he could cut a rift in the void out of thin air.
When he changes to Today's Warrior and adds five Thunder Punishments to bombard a point at the same time, there might be a chance, but Today's Warrior cannot protect Hong Lin, who is "powerless" beside him in the Forest of Sighs at night.
So Cheng Shi could only be a clown secretly.
He licked the void crack with his tongue, then looked back at Hong Lin and said seriously:
"It's not too late to give up now. Otherwise, the moment you step out of the void, the gambling game will begin!"
Hong Lin rolled his eyes and sneered:
"What you said, if I give up then all the suffering I just endured will be in vain.
I think you are right. When the script of fate has been written, I, who have always been blessed by good luck, will not die here.
So, I won’t die, right?”
Cheng Shi smiled slightly and said with great certainty: "Yes, you won't die, and neither will I."
"Let's go, save time."
As he said that, Hong Lin took the lead and stepped out, followed closely by Cheng Shi.
However, when they left the void and returned to the Forest of Sighs, the first thing that caught their eyes was not the giant pythons that were moving through the forest after night fell, but a pair of eyes filled with anxiety and fanaticism, with blue flames rising!
Upska!
This "Wanderer of Desolation" who was persistent in pursuing "prosperity" had actually been guarding the place where the two disappeared and had never left!
When Cheng Shi saw the giant monster so close to him, cold sweat broke out. He pushed the bald man, who was also shocked, in front of him, and with a sinking heart, he prepared to carry out his order.
But what was unexpected was that after Upska found that Honglin had become smaller and had no more [Prosperity] aura, he left unwillingly after roaring a few times.
It lost interest in Honglin.
Seeing this scene, Cheng Shi breathed a sigh of relief, but then Hong Lin, who was pushed in front of him, turned around with a sullen face and growled with gnashed teeth:
"Cheng Shi! Is this how you protect me!??"
Cheng Shi shrank his head when he was yelled at, but then he calmly said, as if he had expected this:
"Don't worry, don't worry. Everything is as expected. Look, it's gone..."
Hong Lin glanced at Upska who was leaving, and then glanced at the "good teammate" who was pretending to be good behind him. He wished he could stuff the Tomb Stone in his hand into Cheng Shi's mouth!
