People’s biggest illusion is that they always feel that they are the protagonist of the story and the center of the world stage.
However, reality always wakes up these fools with a cold slap in the face, telling them that in this universe where mortals are as small as dust, you are nothing.
Cheng Shi's plan was good, Sun Miao's reaction was quick, and Xiao Qi's offensive was even more swift. A war among players seemed to be on the verge of breaking out.
But just when the three were about to meet, the sky fell!
As luck would have it, four meteorites suddenly fell in succession on the front line, which was not the main strike zone of the meteorite rain. Moreover, the four meteorites fell at similar heights and at close distances. If they were to fall together, a large area centered on the war legion command camp would directly become a real purgatory.
The wrath of the Grand Inquisition does not care whether you are a "forsworn" or a player. As long as you stray away from "Order", you will have to bear His "divine punishment".
At this moment, all the soldiers in the entire area began to flee in all directions. Countless soldiers of "War" shouted the slogan of the legion and evacuated, but they were met with an angry blockade from the Tower of Reason halfway.
Of course, scholars also value their lives, and no one wants to drag the enemy to death under the rain of meteorites and fire, so the ones who block the soldiers of [War] are not scholars with flesh and blood, but those creations of [Truth], the war machine soldiers.
The creations of the Department of Mechanical Engineering played the greatest role at this moment, because they had no fear in their hearts and were not afraid of dying in this rain of fire. Moreover, under the influence of military orders, their mission was to drag more enemies to death together.
Now, even the guards around Delvaux were panicking. They raised their spears and fought desperately to carve a bloody path for their commander. However, Delvaux's slow movements seemed to tell everyone that he was not afraid of dying here. He just looked towards the battle line of the Tower of Reason, and seemed to be calculating his next move before the battle.
But just because Delvaux is not afraid doesn’t mean that others are not afraid either, especially... Cheng Shi.
Having no fear in the heart does not mean having no fear on the face.
Cheng Shi is an old actor. The moment he saw the meteorite rain of fire falling, he raised the [Filth] container in his hand as planned, and then tried his best to act as if he was terrified of being sucked away. He calmly pulled Sun Miao and fled into the distance.
This scene was seen by Du Qiyu who rushed over, and his sharp eyes were immediately attracted by the thing in Cheng Shi's hand.
That is definitely not a mask. As for what is hidden behind the mask, it looks like some prop that can calm people down.
However, Du Qiyu didn't think much about it at this time, mainly because he didn't have time to think about it.
His position was awkward. His previous action of rushing towards Cheng Shi had kept him away from the giant bow next to Kinlauer's body, and now the rapid retreat of Cheng Shi and the other man made it impossible for him to reach these two targets.
For a moment he couldn't take care of anything, so he could only note the location of the giant bow in the hope of digging it out from the ruins later, and then fled for his life in the nearest safe direction with hatred.
However, he was not idle on the way of retreat. In order to prevent his anger from affecting his escape and to create some trouble for Cheng Shi and the horse-faced wise man, Xiao Qi tamed a dozen fleeing [War] soldiers along the way, asked them to stop, draw their bows, and shoot at the backs of the two men.
To be honest, this level of concentrated shooting is not completely useless for players. At least it can be used as fun.
The steady Cheng Shi would look back a little to be cautious, but Vice President Sun didn't even look at him and was trying his best to pull Cheng Shi through the shadows.
As he ran, he asked in confusion, "It would be difficult to let the trainer know the effect of the fear tree core with just one look. What is your plan? Aren't you going to tell me?"
Cheng Shi looked at the situation around him, calculated silently in his mind, and shook his head: "Wait a little longer, Xiao Qi has a backup plan."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Qi’s back-up plan came!
Sure enough, the rounds of shooting from the deserters in the rear were just a sleight of hand to distract the two men's attention. Just as the two men were trying their best to rush out, a soldier in front of them suddenly stopped and turned around, and with an incredible counter-attack, he stabbed straight at... Cheng Shi's face.
After scolding the wise man for so long, Xiao Qi reserved the most threatening attack for his good friend Xiao Shi, and focused on Cheng Shi's face.
Faced with this sudden sneak attack, as an assassin, Sun Miao's reaction was obviously faster than Cheng Shi's. He immediately cut off the handle of the spear with a dagger. However, the spear was swung with such force that even though the handle was broken, the tip of the spear still pointed straight towards Cheng Shi's eyes.
Affected by the [Filth] container, Cheng Shi was calmest at this moment. He thought of countless ways to deal with the beasts and spear attacks in front of him in an instant, but none of them were useful. He didn't even make a move. Instead, a trace of fear appeared on his face, and he gritted his teeth and endured it. He instinctively raised his left hand holding the container to block for a moment, allowing the tip of the gun to accurately knock down the container and leave a line of blood on his cheek.
Only after he felt the pain on the side of his face did he focus his eyes and send a terrifying thunder at the tamed beast that was close at hand.
"boom--"
The tamer's playful smile turned into ashes, and the last scene it saw also conveyed a message to Du Qiyu, which was:
Even though Xiao Shi was the legendary fate weaver, he seemed to be just like this, and would even use his hands to block when he was panicked.
It can be seen from this that his fame is nothing more than the power of his tools, but it is undeniable that his rage is truly terrifying.
Of course, no one knew what Du Qiyu was thinking. Sun Miao only knew that many of his inner emotions had returned, and this meant that Cheng Shi had put away the fear tree core again.
