Chapter 269: Clues in the mist

Clues in the mist

Cheng Shi felt that he was now like a medieval slave, being whipped by a "vicious" slave owner to work.

But he wasn't entirely, because slaves didn't dare to resist, but he dared.

Seeing that he had become a small soldier exploring the way, Cheng Shi sighed helplessly and put away the bottle of Prosperity of the Past in his hand.

How can you use your own money to treat an injury caused by work?

Holding this simple worker's cognition, he reached out to Xiang Honglin outside the mist.

Xiang Honglin smiled lightly when she saw this and didn't refuse, taking a tender new sprout from her portable space and throwing it over. Cheng Shi knew at a glance that this must be a good thing. He hurriedly caught it and asked in an old, hoarse voice:

"This is...?"

"Baptism of the newborn. Dip it in water, then sprinkle it on yourself, and the will of 【Prosperity】 will help you wash away the decay of 【Decay】."

"?" Cheng Shi was stunned, thinking, don't I still have to pay for a bottle of water?

Xiang Honglin seemed to have guessed Cheng Shi's reaction long ago. She sneered and said: "Heh, saliva is not impossible."

From this joke, it can be seen that this 【Prosperity】 Chosen One finally turned from her slightly guarded attitude toward Cheng Shi and became more like treating a newly acquainted friend.

Baptism of the newborn is an S-rank item bestowed by 【Prosperity】, specifically used to restrain the erosion of 【Decay】. She was willing to take it out for Cheng Shi to use, which meant she had already accepted this friend in Tao Yi's mouth.

But even if she didn't have such pious respect for her benefactor, Xiang Honglin definitely couldn't let Cheng Shi really spit on the item bestowed by her benefactor, so she had already squeezed a bottle of water behind her, just waiting for Cheng Shi to "help" her "alms" him again when he was "helpless" and "stingy."

But she didn't understand Cheng Shi at all.

Because when she said this, Cheng Shi's saliva had already "spat out."

This gambler, who looked quite temperamental just now, suddenly turned into a street urchin, spitting on the tender sprout, and then quickly smeared these spit spots on his body.

He didn't dislike his own saliva at all, nor did he feel there was any problem.

Looking at this overly skilled scene, Xiang Honglin's eyes were full of "shock."

Pupil earthquake!

"Eh, don't say, it's really easy to use, I've become young again!"

"......" Xiang Honglin twitched her mouth and silently crushed the water bottle behind her. "Give me... find someone!"

"Oh." Cheng Shi hurriedly tidied up, took the newborn baptism into his space "temporarily," and walked swaggeringly toward the depths of the mist.

Xiang Honglin looked at this bold and thieving back, her complexion changed several times, finally turning into an inexplicable snort, and turned into a Forest Spotted Leopard again to follow.

The transformed Druid flowed with His blessings all over, naturally not afraid of the erosion of the Sighing Mourning Tide.

The two explored again, exchanging front and back. After a period of time, Cheng Shi really found something.

Footprints!

In the mist where the field of vision dropped sharply, he saw a footprint slightly glowing with blue fluorescence.

Cheng Shi was overjoyed. He squatted down and carefully checked other places around the footprint, trying to find traces that could be tracked, but this footprint was too faint. It was impossible to find clues just by normal tracking means.

Thus, the priest looked at the warrior.

The warrior was stunned for a moment and turned her head away.

Yo, so you Chosen One aren't good at tracking either. But aren't Forest Spotted Leopards all hunting experts? You transformed into such a big one, don't tell me it's just for fighting?

Cheng Shi complained inwardly but didn't dare to tease directly, so he had to hold back his laughter, "Kuku" took out the signal gun given by the Historian, and fired a shot into the sky.

It was time to summon his hunter teammate to help. Although this teammate wasn't honest, who didn't have a few lies in their mouth? Right?

Of course, except for me.

The signal gun made no sound, just exploded a bright flame in the high sky overflowing with mist.

Not long after, the two heard someone approaching here. They turned their heads cautiously to look, only to see that the first to arrive were the Historian and the Puppet Master.

That Puppet Master little girl controlled her royal sister puppet to hold herself in one hand and drag the Historian in the other, moving forward with difficulty step by step.

The little girl's state was still intact, but the puppet's movements were already somewhat stiff under the erosion of 【Decay】. The Historian's state was even worse, having already fainted from loss of strength.

His skin was aging and festering, and his body was wrapped in many puppet control threads used by the Puppet Master to drag him.

Cheng Shi saw this, frowned slightly, took out the newborn baptism just now from his space, and looked at Xiang Honglin on the side.

It was someone else's thing after all, Cheng Shi couldn't be generous with others' things. He could only make decisions for himself, and the decision made at the moment was to temporarily ignore the opposition of faith and save this Historian who had a profound understanding of the underground.

In fact, he had never paid much attention to the opposition of faith. Still the same sentence:

As long as you don't scam me, no matter who you are, no matter who you believe in, it has nothing to do with me.

Conversely, even if it's a brother of the same faith, the accounts that should be settled must be settled.

And if you can not lose teammates at the beginning of the trial, try to ensure enough living strength. This is the trial criterion for a slacker.

Xiang Honglin obviously had this idea too. High-end players never waste too much help, so she nodded and took out a bottle from her portable space...

She put it back again...

Because Cheng Shi's saliva had already been sprayed out.

The big cat's skin twitched, and four cat claws exposed sharp nails, tightly hooking the rotten leaves on the ground, as if pinching something that could vent her anger.

However, the enthusiastic Cheng Shi didn't see it at all. He solemnly took the saliva branch and sprinkled it on the two teammates, striving to smear it evenly on every inch of their skin.

The Puppet Master little girl looked a bit "socially phobic." Although there was no expression on her face, she instinctively shrank back when Cheng Shi approached, and controlled the puppet to shake her head.

Cheng Shi understood, so he only sprinkled a little on her puppet.

It was the Historian who was smeared a lot. After finishing, Cheng Shi also thoughtfully fanned his face, waking up the 【Memory】 believer on the spot.

Zuoqiu opened his eyes and found that his teammates were all by his side. The fear in his eyes dissipated significantly.

"Many thanks...

It was my recklessness. I thought that when I couldn't find clues outside the mist, I could enter the mist to search, but I didn't expect this Sighing Mourning Tide to be far more ferocious than I imagined."

Saying this, he turned his head to look at the Puppet Master little girl, full of gratitude:

"Thank you for saving my life."

The little girl was expressionless, and the royal sister puppet smiled and nodded.

Looking at this harmonious scene, Cheng Shi suddenly felt that the teammates in this game seemed far friendlier than imagined. This seemed to be a good opening!

Except for being set up by Mouth Brother...

But immediately after, the friendliness of the scene came to an end, because that sinister Bird Feather Brother came.

Walking in the Sighing Mourning Tide, he seemed to have returned to his home. Not only was he not restrained, but he completely let go of himself, lifting the feather cloak and revealing the rotten, decaying body underneath.

"Gold and jade on the outside, rotten on the inside" might be talking about this kind of person. When the feather cloak wrapped his body, Bird Feather Brother still looked like an ordinary person with failed aesthetics. But when the bird feather outfit was opened, the rotten flesh, pus, black blood, and white bones made one feel that there was no second thought other than disgust after one look.

No wonder the big cat called him stinky bird. He looked stinky.

Cheng Shi only looked at it once and felt that he probably wouldn't be able to swallow his meal today.

"Stinky bird, cover up that disgusting skin and bones, otherwise, I'll pluck your feathers!"

Xiang Honglin the big cat roared with disgust, not scaring anyone else, but scaring the Historian who had just stood up into a shiver.

Bird Feather Brother sneered, not only not restraining himself, but instead taking off his clothes like a hooligan.

"Baldy, this is the place watched by my Lord. If you don't like it, you can retreat."

"Oh yo, I'm scared to death. Since He is watching here, why don't I kill His believer first to cheer Him up!"

Saying this, the big cat kicked the ground without warning and pounced toward Bird Feather Brother. ===== CHAPTER 270 =====
