There are still 9 days left, but the trial is not over yet.
Cheng Shi and Sun Miao had already determined that the target of the trial was K'inlaur, the war king Delvaux, so the rest of the time was actually spent waiting for the other party to fulfill his long-cherished wish, clear the battle line, and announce the establishment of the War Kingdom on this scorched earth and pile of corpses.
But the war is not so easy to end. Fortunately, Delvaux was well prepared. Even without the help of the players, he could still succeed. So the two of them decided not to get involved anymore.
Now the only thought in their minds is to wait for the "learned" Xiao Qi to catch up and hunt them down.
After not waiting for the opponent in the first time, Cheng Shi had already left the front line with Sun Miao and wandered around the periphery of the battlefield for a long time.
Sun Miao always believed that after he lost his desires and emotions, the tamer would hide himself until the end of the trial, but Cheng Shi firmly believed that Xiao Qi would definitely come to find him, so Sun Miao compromised again and could only find something to do by himself, because the fate weaver next to him had already begun to idle away.
“Why don’t you make some preparations for the hunters’ arrival?
Underestimating the enemy is never a good strategy."
Every time he heard the wise man's reminder, Cheng Shi nodded perfunctorily, but still did nothing.
Seeing that the Weaver of Destiny was so lazy, Sun Miao frowned and could only think that the other party had already thought of a foolproof plan. But what puzzled him was that even if Cheng Shi had 100% confidence in defeating Du Qiyu, how could he guarantee that the other party would not leave any backup plan for resurrection outside?
Sun Miao asked his doubts again, and Cheng Shi’s answer was also very intriguing.
"Wise man, this is what you told me, when a person loses the motivation to live, he will naturally not live.
Therefore, it was not me who killed Xiao Qi, but himself."
"?"
This fate weaver actually wanted to make a person with such strong desires and emotions commit suicide?
How is that possible?
Especially after the other party got the core of the fear tree and lost his desire and fear, how could he, who had become smart again, make such an unwise move?
This time, even the [Foolish] believer could not analyze it. He looked at Cheng Shi thoughtfully, always feeling that this fate weaver was hiding the most attractive secret in the universe.
But he couldn't dig out these secrets in a short time, so he could only settle for the second best and get the secrets that could be obtained in the trial first, such as... the Breath of Decay that suddenly appeared on the side of the Dense Forest County in Boro Highlands.
When Sun Miao said that he wanted to explore the rich breath of decay, Cheng Shi actually wanted to refuse, because his intuition told him that there seemed to be danger there.
But when dealing with Xiao Qi, he still needed a wise man to stand by as a backup, so after weighing everything, he decided to go with Sun Miao, but he had to stay far away and not walk with the other party.
Sun Miao had no objection to this arrangement, so the two of them quickly changed their destination and headed towards the battlefield.
They were not worried at all that Xiao Qi would not be able to catch up. After all, for a hunter, tracking tracks is his core skill. The only thing Cheng Shi was worried about now was that Xiao Qi would catch up and make sure he did not collide with the wise man's exploration. Otherwise, when faced with unknown risks, he really didn't know whether his plan could go on smoothly.
Fortunately, fate was on Cheng Shi's side again. When they arrived at the area according to the guidance of the "carrion-eating vines", there were no risks around and Xiao Qi did not come to commit fraud.
They only found some residual power of [Time] and a large number of withered trees in a dense forest. It was obvious that something had been here, but it did not leave any other traces except for a piece of decay.
Sun Miao was very interested in this. He observed and explored alone in the dense forest in the valley, while Cheng Shi stood on a high hill outside to keep watch for him.
This time Cheng Shi didn't give up. After all, his own safety was at stake, so he was very alert.
But what he didn't expect was that even though he was keeping his eyes and ears open, there was still someone standing behind him right under his nose.
Cheng Shi didn't even notice the other person at first, until he habitually glanced at his own shadow, and found that the shadow that should have been exactly the same as him had unexpectedly gained weight!
At this moment, Cheng Shi broke out in a cold sweat instantly, but he did not panic. Instead, he immediately threw the grenade back and used his other hand to crush a smoke bomb.
"Bang--"
The strange noise startled Sun Miao who was investigating clues in the dense forest. He saw a cloud of smoke exploding where Cheng Shi was. His heart skipped a beat and he turned around to help. But just when he wanted to use the shadow to go directly to Cheng Shi, the [Rotten] wood that had been dead just now suddenly came to life. The rotten trees exploded in an instant, and the corrupt dust in the sky was like a cage, trapping Sun Miao in place.
"Not good!" Sun Miao took out his props and began to hold his breath, and immediately set about deconstructing the flaws in the cage.
But as he unraveled it, he discovered that although the cage did have flaws, the power of [Decay] contained within it was simply not something a player could contend with.
In other words, the person who trapped himself and ambushed Cheng Shi was much stronger than Lin Xi, and they were not even on the same level.
You know, Lin Xi is already number one on the [Decay] list, so the only one who can surpass him seems to be...
"Commander!?"
Sun Miao's pupils suddenly shrank and he cried out in horror.
However, the cage of corrupt dust not only trapped him, but also locked his voice. Cheng Shi did not hear the exclamation of discovering the other party's identity. Cheng Shi, who temporarily escaped in the smoke, only heard another hoarse voice coming from the smoke:
"Don't do it, I mean no harm."
As soon as he finished speaking, Cheng Shi saw clearly the appearance of the attacker hiding in the fog.
He was sure that he had never seen this person before, but he unexpectedly felt that the other person looked very familiar. Although he couldn't remember where this sense of familiarity came from for a while, it at least meant that the other person's identity would not be too high. After all, Cheng Shi would never forget what the true god and the envoy looked like.
But...will you really never forget it?
Before this thought could take a second to solidify, Cheng Shi slapped himself in the face, because he suddenly remembered where he had seen this face before, in...
On a painting hanging on the wall of a bedroom in the empty Rossna Imperial Court, the picture on it was none other than Emperor Rossna who had abandoned the entire city and fled in panic with his nobles and ministers!
Of course, Cheng Shi later learned this person's name from Avros.
Yuger, an expert escaper who was promoted to be an emissary by [Corruption] in the last era.
Thinking of this, Cheng Shi was shocked.
"!!!"
He is Yug! ?
