Chapter 1030: Get Out, Or Die

Get Out, Or Die

According to normal logic, if 【Fate】 appeared in person wanting to protect him, it must mean that this trial was not easy.

Otherwise, why would a normal trial have Him break open the present world and arrive before the trial even started?

Blasphemy is blasphemy, and banter is banter, but Cheng Shi had to face the guidance brought to him by the arrival of 【Fate】, so he was very cautious now.

Even seeing that the array was about to be broken, he didn't rush to do anything, just shook his head to signal everyone to continue observing, first seeing how the people hidden under the array would react to Pelaya's appearance.

He hadn't forgotten what Pelaya's reflection said: the great scholars of the Scholarly Chair Association were very likely using the shell of 【Wasteland Walker】 to construct its space-time connection with Pelaya, thereby retracing to the past to stop her betrayal.

So it was certain that the great scholars' goal was the Pelaya of the past, not the her who was breaking the array in the present.

After all, stopping the her of the past could at least keep Tusnat from being captured so quickly, so the great scholars would have more time to save everything.

But now Pelaya's appearance might trigger another problem, which was also what Pelaya's reflection said: if the great scholars could catch Pelaya, perhaps they would directly use her to construct a space-time connection with Galiusha, thereby retracing to an even earlier past to stop Galiusha!

In this way, this experiment that needed players to push might turn into a blocking battle. As long as Galiusha was prevented from interfering with the great scholars' experiment, the trial would likely be cleared.

But could it be that easy?

Cheng Shi thought silently. Don't forget, he could control the Twilight Church, which meant Galiusha had lost her greatest reinforcements on the surface. Then what reliance did she have to break through the siege of a group of peak players to interfere with the Scholarly Chair Association's experiment?

Then wouldn't this special trial become a free-points game again?

Something was wrong. Could there be accidents in the experiment?

Just as Cheng Shi was thinking, the array in the distance "boomed" and broke.

For a time, countless colorful lights surged out from the underground space, like chains, instantly entangling Pelaya, who was too late to dodge, and dragging her in.

And at the same time, Chen Yi also moved. He disappeared into the shadow and flew toward the believer of 【Deception】 who "attempted to hinder his love."

Cheng Shi knew he couldn't wait any longer. He had to seize the opportunity to first figure out what the situation of the great scholars was now, and whether the difficulty of the trial lay in the experimental steps or in confronting Galiusha.

Thus, he shouted decisively:

"Brother Meng, help me block Chen Yi. Sage, guard above. Once Galiusha appears, give a warning. Fang Yuan, come down with me. If the experiment is real, we must ensure the great scholars succeed in one go."

As he spoke, he dropped a sentence "Be careful of Wei Zhi" in Hu Xuan's ear, then snapped his fingers to swap himself to the array entrance and jumped down.

Fang Yuan's speed was not slow either. He directly raised his hand to blast open the void and walked into the array from the side of the void.

This little fatty seemed very good at using the void. Perhaps for him, walking the void was also drilling loopholes in reality.

But when he appeared in that huge underground space, he found that Cheng Shi, who had jumped down before him, had disappeared.

Fang Yuan frowned, carefully raised his staff, started to draw elemental power to construct a barrier, and at the same time called Cheng Shi's name in a low voice, groping forward.

It wasn't until he turned around a wide corridor that could be called a room that Cheng Shi's voice sounded behind him.

"It turns out the great scholars really didn't leave any traps."

"?"

Fang Yuan's face turned black. How could he not know that Cheng Shi's jump just now was actually fake, just to show him? This cunning believer of 【Deception】 had actually retreated again, waiting for himself to explore the path in front.

He wished he could blast a staff at his back, but heard Cheng Shi explain with a smile:

"Judge, don't misunderstand. I was just worried that there was an ambush behind you, so I resolutely chose to cover the rear."

"Look, it's very safe to hand your back to me, isn't it?"

"Safe my ass. I see the biggest hidden danger behind me is you, Fate Weaver. It's your turn to go forward!"

Cheng Shi paused, his brows immediately becoming solemn:

"Bad, there is danger behind. You go first, I'll cover the rear!"

"???"

You still want to look behind at this time?

Look behind you to see if there is anyone...

Before Fang Yuan could think of a scolding sentence, a fluctuation suddenly came from behind the passage where there was no figure, and the transmission array patterns on the wall lit up one after another. Two figures, a man and a woman, stepped out from the left and right sides at the same time.

Now Cheng Shi couldn't laugh.

"Bulza and Neriviel!"

"Very good, Fate Weaver. You help me look behind, I will focus on dealing with Asgis!"

As soon as the words fell, all the fire elements in the surrounding space gathered toward Fang Yuan. ===== CHAPTER 1031 =====

If only the trial were truly this smooth sailing. I only fear that this experiment is beset by both internal and external troubles; not only is Galiusha outside intending to cause chaos, but is there really no problem within these Great Scholars themselves?

If there weren't, wouldn't the Tower of Reason and Quality in history have won?"

Fang Yuan never denied that what Cheng Shi said was correct; he just didn't want this Fate Weaver to keep using him to test the waters again and again. Seeing Cheng Shi walking in front, his previous resistance immediately turned into agreement.

"......"

Cheng Shi felt helpless and had no choice but to continue leading the way.

But not long after they started, a Great Scholar with a gray beard, leaning on a staff that looked like a cane, blocked their path. Cheng Shi's footsteps paused, his gaze narrowing slightly. He recognized the man's identity; it was precisely the Great Scholar Asgis of the Scholarly Chair Society that Wei Zhi had mentioned at the very beginning.

They really weren't dead, and they really were hiding here!

It was just that this Great Scholar's state was quite strange. His expression was somewhat dull, yet violent emotions surged in his eyes. He walked forward two steps with slightly stiff limbs, then raised his staff and warned with a cold face:

"Back out, or die."

Fang Yuan also noticed the other party's abnormality and frowned slightly, saying: "The Great Scholar's state isn't right. It's like..."

"He's been controlled!"

Cheng Shi's heart skipped a beat. Looking at the man's suppressed, violent appearance, it was three parts similar to Galiusha outside. Surely this person couldn't be another one of Galiusha's backup plans, could he?

But in any case, he had to state his purpose first. If he could resolve the misunderstanding with words, the subsequent negotiations might go more smoothly.

So Cheng Shi raised his hands to signal he was no threat, then greeted him with a smile:

"Great Scholar, we are here to help..."

"Die!"

Asgis didn't give the two of them a chance at all. While Cheng Shi was halfway through his sentence, he raised his staff and launched an attack toward Cheng Shi.

They saw the void on both sides of the underground space suddenly break open, and then collapse and squeeze toward Cheng Shi and his companion.

"Void Quality-Energy Department!"

Cheng Shi's expression changed. He scattered a handful of dice from his raised hands, and then, with the sound of a snap, he reappeared behind Fang Yuan.

"I'll watch the back, you handle him!"

"???"

At a time like this, you still want to watch the back?

See if there's anyone behind you...

Before Fang Yuan could even think of a curse, a fluctuation suddenly came from behind the passage where there had been no figures. The teleportation runes on the walls lit up one after another, and two figures, a man and a woman, stepped out from the left and right sides simultaneously.

Now Cheng Shi couldn't laugh anymore.

"Burza and Neriwell!

Very well, Fate Weaver, you help me watch the back, I'll focus on dealing with Asgis!"

As soon as he finished speaking, all the fire elements in the surrounding space gathered toward Fang Yuan.
