Cheng Shi raised his eyebrows.
When people are unable to resist and their desire to survive is the strongest, they will always unconsciously demonstrate their greatest value in exchange for living space. Cheng Shi's silence is waiting for Gong Yangjiao to demonstrate his value.
But he still said nothing, just signaled the ram to continue with his eyes.
Seeing that the other party did not deny him, Gong Yangjiao felt like he had grabbed the only life-saving straw and desperately said:
“I can drive you and help you find the fragments of your mask.
You know, I'm a warrior with extraordinary perseverance and persistence. This is not bragging. In order to match the poison, I stayed up all night for a whole month and matched countless trials.
With my high trial frequency, I think there will be news about your mask fragments soon, Master Yuxi!"
Wow, you are quite persistent, brother. It seems you really hate poison.
What Hu Wei said can’t be true, right? You, a [Fallen] believer, actually fell in love with him?
Cheng Shi found it funny in his heart, but his expression remained indifferent. He glanced down at Gong Yangjiao and sneered:
"It's too far away. Before I witness your loyalty, all the promises are just lies woven by fear.
You want to lie to me, you...
Are you sure?
Gong Yangjiao did not lie, at least not now, but Cheng Shi still wanted to use this intimidation method to stimulate him and make him more obedient.
As expected, after hearing this, Gong Yangjiao trembled all over. He keenly sensed the "Master Yuxi's" persistence in playing Cheng Shi, so he quickly reviewed Cheng Shi's attitude and performance throughout the trial, showing his most useful side from this perspective, and immediately added:
"I can prove my loyalty, my Lord!
I can make that chameleon obey you as well. He dreams of meeting the gods. I promised him a chance to meet the gods, and only then will he agree to cooperate with me to hunt down the poison.
Believe me, sir, I can bring him to your side.
I know you don't need us, but Cheng Shi, whom you play, does. No matter whether it's winning or losing this trial, or that bitch who got the poison... the [Gift of Wounds] she longs for, Cheng Shi always needs manpower, doesn't he?
Your teammates have all given up on you. They are blind and I can kill them for you.
These little things aren't worth getting your hands dirty with.
Besides, the ring in your hand... doesn't it also crave more fear?"
As he spoke, Gong Yangjiao raised his head and glanced at the fun ring on Cheng Shi's hand with fiery eyes.
His covetousness was not concealed at all, which made Cheng Shi frown slightly.
What a [filthy] believer!
Your desires are really great!
Even if it is something in the hands of the envoy, his greedy desire is not concealed at all.
Should I say that you are courageous, or should I praise you for the purity of your faith?
As he thought about it, Cheng Shi smiled.
He thought Rams Horn's suggestion was good. At least at the moment when he had lost several teammates, he really needed a few more teammates.
So Cheng Shi agreed to Gong Yangjiao's plan to show his loyalty and let him bring back the chameleon.
He didn't know what the other party explained to the [Silent] believer, but when he saw the chameleon again, there was obvious fear in the other party's eyes.
But besides fear, there was an even more mysterious heat in the chameleon's eyes.
Cheng Shi looked at Gong Yangjiao in confusion, but saw Gong Yangjiao step forward and whispered:
“Sir, I did not reveal your true identity to him, but in order to make him believe that I did not come back from the dead to become a puppet of desire at the mercy of others, nor did I come back to harm him, I hinted at some information.
This information is all about you, but it is a mixture of truth and falsehood. As for what he imagined...
I guess, most of them believed it.”
Cheng Shi looked at Gong Yangjiao in surprise and thought: I didn't expect that you, a guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes, actually have some talent for [cheating]!
Cheng Shi didn't understand nor did he want to understand the chameleon in front of him. He had never thought of accepting so many younger brothers at once. What he wanted were the illegal workers he could control, not all the high-end combat power.
That’s not realistic and it’s exhausting.
Even if he did have a spot as a "little brother" in this trial, that spot was not for the [Silent] believer in front of him.
Therefore, Cheng Shi didn't care about Chameleon's attitude. They were just using this opportunity to make use of each other. After this trial, if there was a chance for them to meet again, it would not be out of the question.
So Cheng Shi told the two of them about his plan to snatch the [Gift of Wounds]. And while the three were communicating, Gong Yangjiao provided Cheng Shi with an explosive piece of information.
"The Gift of Wounds is gone, my lord."
Cheng Shi's pupils shrank slightly, and he asked in a deep voice: "How do you know?"
Gong Yangjiao lowered his head and said respectfully:
"The Chameleon heard your thunder blooming near the square..."
When talking about thunder, the Count Screaming couldn't help but look up at Cheng Shi's ring again, but he soon lowered his head again.
“We followed the sound and found the civilians you left behind.
Of course, I didn’t know they were not civilians until I interrogated them.”
After hearing this, Cheng Shi’s doubts were finally resolved.
No wonder the ram's horn would parasitize in his ring in that way. It turned out that he had already sensed a breath similar to his in the ring in that house!
