"The stinky rat has arrived."
When Chun found Cheng Shi, the former Chosen One of Prosperity gritted his teeth and said, "He probably noticed that you were very interested in this trial, so he brought a plague to the camp of Order."
plague?
Cheng Shi raised his eyebrows, suddenly realizing that with the fading power of [Decay] in his hands, he was almost ignoring the threats from [Decay], but these threats were still tricky for others.
Lin Xi's main job is a [Corrupted] mage, the Plague Cardinal, a profession that can be called the king of AOE in the [Game of Faith].
The other party chose this time to attack the left wing camp. It seems that they are really coming for me. [Annihilation] is indeed not going to let me go.
Lin Xi's purpose in doing this was no different from kidnapping Kernlauer, he simply wanted to disrupt the normal progress of this trial and force himself to "deal with" the source of interference first, so that he could increase his chances of winning the duel by making arrangements in advance.
The Plague Cardinal spreads the plague very quickly. Once the plague is allowed to spread rampantly, even if the Grand Inquisition responds, the only outcome will be that countless knights will rot on the spot or withdraw from the encirclement area.
But if a gap appears in the encirclement line, it will be hard to say how history will develop.
What Cheng Shi cares about is not the direction of history, but whether the people he cares about will have the same reaction as in history when history changes direction.
Everything that Cheng Shi had experienced since the beginning of the trial till now was telling him that this trial, which was supposed to be a bystander's perspective, might be a projection of the truth of the religious dispute that year. So in order to prevent Lin Xi from erasing more clues, Cheng Shi really had to find a way to stop it all.
And no one knows whether this is Lin Xi's means of weakening his own camp from a long distance. Even if Cheng Shi has the fading authority and can be safe in the plague, the other two do not. If they are infected by the plague, the balance of combat power may be tilted.
Although the probability is very small, we must be on guard for the sake of safety.
So no matter what, the time to take action has come. Only by getting rid of Lin Xi can this trial continue safely.
but......
Sister, what's wrong with your tone?
Why does it sound to me like you are very dissatisfied with the attitude that “Lin Xi appeared to find me instead of you”?
Cheng Shi looked at Chun with a strange look, thinking that since Chun didn't rush up directly, it meant that she didn't smell where Lin Xi was. In this case, he still had to gamble whether Xiao Qi's trained beast left any clues.
It goes without saying that Lin Xi wouldn't be so stupid as not to find a helper in this confrontation, and the only person he could find was Xiao Qi.
These two people can be said to be "birds of a feather flock together".
Then Cheng Shi took out the soul-annihilated knight from the Molten Coffin and asked Chun, who looked a little puzzled:
"I guess my old friend has cooperated with the rat you hate so much. Finding him may help us find where Lin Xi is.
This is his tamed beast. Can you find clues through it?
Although the one who challenged us was Lin Xi, if we can break away from his rhythm and catch him off guard, our chances of winning will be greater.
If not, we can only go back and ask the master. "
"Can!"
Chun's response was concise and to the point. Although she was an assassin, she had accumulated a lot of tracking methods and props in the long process of tracking Lin Xi's whereabouts.
The moment Cheng Shi took out the trained beast, Chun had already taken action. She took out a palm-sized bone compass and gently placed it on the corpse. Then a needle made of broken bones on the compass began to spin wildly, and soon pointed out a direction for the two of them.
Chun's eyes lit up, and he immediately put away the compass and rushed in that direction.
Cheng Shi was stunned by this scene. He immediately used the contact item Sun Miao gave him to summon helpers, and then hurriedly caught up with Chun's pace, half a body length behind her, and asked curiously while running:
"Is this a tool for [death]?"
"Yes, it's an S-level holy weapon, the Death Compass. Although the name has a murderous connotation, it doesn't point out the murderer, but it detects a similar aura of death. It was a gift from a Scarlet Hunter friend of mine, but she... died at the hands of Lin Xi."
"......"
To be honest, Cheng Shi didn't care how much other resentment was mixed in the hatred between the two people. He only knew that the name of the prop called "Death Compass" could never have been given by that adult, and it must have been a misunderstanding of his great naming art by later generations.
According to that gentleman's style, this should be called "Bonebreaker's Compass".
Cheng Shi curled his lips, shook the messy thoughts out of his head, and then frowned slightly and said:
"Things are going a little too smoothly, maybe there's something fishy going on.
My old friend is a beast tamer. Since he knows that I have detained his beast, there is no way he would not deal with the aura on his body.
You, this bone-crushing...murderous compass, are you reliable?"
“It’s not necessarily accurate.
It is very likely that we have located the body of another victim, or one of his other trained animals, but we can repeatedly use this as a clue to circle the area and thus lock on to the target.
Believe me, I've done this a hundred times."
Chun was full of fighting spirit at this moment. She no longer looked like a seven-year-old boy. She looked more like a big cat.
Seeing this, Cheng Shi was in a trance for a while, and wondered if Big Cat was helping this fellow [Prosperity] just out of the interests of the camp and personal kindness?
