Chapter 311: The bet begins, I will lead the all-in!
The bet begins, I will lead the all-in!
Counting the time, it's about to get dark.
Looking at Xiang Honglin, who no longer had a trace of 【Prosperity】 aura but was instead covered in 【Decay】 power, Cheng Shi sighed in his heart.
Although Baldy was tricked by him into joining the bet, this "favor" owed is a bit too big.
She trusted him too much, trusted him enough to dare to put all the divinities she had collected for so long on him. This trust was too heavy, so heavy that it gave Cheng Shi an illusion, which was:
Baldy wouldn't...
be playing dumb, right?
Did she see through long ago that he was very susceptible to this, so she went all-in with all her trust?
This warrior who doesn't look very smart, couldn't be a schemer with more tricks than him, right?
Hiss—
Doesn't look like it.
But regardless, Cheng Shi felt he should be worthy of this trust, so he said:
"Are you ready? We're going out."
Xiang Honglin, entangled by 【Decay】, was far from as energetic as just now. She barely maintained the balance of the two faith powers in her body, only able to try her best not to be completely eroded by 【Decay】, so as not to become an "accidental oath-breaker."
"Heh, to be honest, I'm a little nervous. I'm afraid you, this Fate Weaver, can't protect me. I feel like I've seen my doomsday."
"Relax, you are now 【Decay】's divine favor, an envoy from the Final Tomb. No creature in the entire Sighing Forest is as noble as you. They won't attack you, they will only follow you.
So, as long as we don't run into that Oupusika, there's no need to worry about safety.
The aura of the Final Tomb will make them submit."
"Heh, a 【Prosperity】 player like me, actually acting as an envoy of 【Decay】, isn't this a blasphemy against Her?
Cheng Shi, don't trick me. In the end, I won't be the bet that gets lost, right?"
"..."
You are quite... no, you are quite pessimistic.
Cheng Shi patted his face, rubbed out a confident smile, and said:
"Don't fear sharpening the spear before the battle, fear losing people before the battle. Don't worry, 【Fate】 will favor us.
Besides, change your perspective. Isn't this also a blasphemy against 【Decay】?
Now the more you blaspheme, the more... um... satisfied your Patron will be."
"..." Xiang Honglin glanced at Cheng Shi with a strange look, always feeling that this was a bit weird, "I suddenly feel that a 【Prosperity】 believer praying for 【Fate】's protection is also a blasphemy against Her."
"..."
Cheng Shi was numb. Hesitating at the last minute is not a good thing, so he pushed Xiang Honglin and said:
"Stop blaspheming, let's go. Once the bow is drawn, there's no turning back. If you give up now, the suffering you just endured from 【Decay】's erosion will all be in vain."
Xiang Honglin laughed and raised her hand.
"Urging me is useless. I don't even have the strength to open the void now. Cheng Shi, don't tell me you can't even open the void. Make your move."
Cheng Shi smacked his lips and took out the Tongue of Lying again.
To be honest, before getting this tongue, Cheng Shi really didn't dare to guarantee that he could cut open a void crack out of thin air.
When he switched to the Today's Warrior plus five Thunder Punishments hitting one point at the same time, maybe there was a chance, but Today's Warrior couldn't protect the "powerless" Xiang Honglin beside him in the Sighing Forest at night.
So Cheng Shi could only secretly be a clown.
He picked up the tongue and licked open the void crack, then looked back at Xiang Honglin, his expression somewhat serious:
"It's still not too late to give up now, otherwise, the moment we step out of the void, the bet begins!"
Xiang Honglin rolled her eyes and sneered:
"You said it, if I give up, the suffering I just endured will be in vain.
I think you're right. When the script of fate has already been written, I, who have always been favored by good luck, won't die here.
So, I won't die, right?"
Cheng Shi smiled slightly and said very firmly: "Yes, you won't die, and I won't die."
"Let's go, save time."
As she spoke, Xiang Honglin stepped out first, with Cheng Shi following closely behind.
However, when they left the void and returned to the Sighing Forest, the first thing that caught their eyes was not the giant pythons traveling through the forest after nightfall, but a pair of eyes full of anxiety and fanaticism, rising with blue flames!
Oupusika!
This 【Desolation Walker】 who was persistent about 【Prosperity】 had actually been guarding the place where the two disappeared and hadn't left!
Cheng Shi broke out in a cold sweat the moment he saw this giant monster close at hand. He pushed the equally shocked Baldy to the front, his heart sank, and he prepared to act.
But unexpectedly, after Oupusika discovered that Xiang Honglin had become smaller and no longer had the 【Prosperity】 aura, it roared a few times and left unwillingly.
It had lost interest in Xiang Honglin.
Seeing this, Cheng Shi breathed a heavy sigh of relief, but immediately after, Xiang Honglin, who had been pushed to the front, turned back with a livid face and roared through gritted teeth:
"Cheng Shi! Is this how you protect me!??"
Cheng Shi shrank his head from the roar, but immediately put on an "I expected this" look and said calmly:
"Don't worry, don't worry, everything is within expectations. Look, didn't it leave..."
Xiang Honglin glanced at the departing Oupusika, then glanced at the "good teammate" behind her who was putting on an act, wishing she could stuff the Stone of the Final Tomb in Cheng Shi's mouth!
This broken mouth that scams people to death!
"This is the last time! If you stand behind me next time, don't blame me for flipping your gambling table!"
Cheng Shi smiled awkwardly and hurriedly pointed to the strange movements around him:
"Look! Look! They're coming! The good show is about to begin!"
Xiang Honglin was stunned. She followed Cheng Shi's gaze, and then saw countless Twisted Night Pythons cautiously approaching after Oupusika left.
One by one, the thick giant pythons twisted their bodies. After smelling the infinite 【Decay】 power and the aura of the Final Tomb radiating from Xiang Honglin, they began to hiss and tremble crazily around the two.
This sharp hissing sound quickly spread in the "forest land" that no longer had trees. Not long after, echoing choruses sounded from all directions!
Immediately after, patches of shadows rolled toward this place crazily. Like a sea wave, the python group seemed to have found the meaning of their python lives, raised countless ghostly green eyes, stared tightly at the place where Xiang Honglin was, surrounding more and more, tighter and tighter. Not long after, strands of rich faith power were converted into new 【Decay】 through the contract in Cheng Shi's hand, rising in Xiang Honglin's body.
Xiang Honglin's face gradually aged, and her whole body began to radiate decay from the inside out.
This situation, which looked like a sudden serious illness, is generally difficult for anyone to resist silently, but Xiang Honglin resisted. She didn't say a word, letting 【Decay】 accumulate in her body.
Cheng Shi was surprised by Xiang Honglin's endurance to the changes in her body and whispered behind her:
"There are more and more Twisted Night Pythons, but it's not enough. He hasn't cast His gaze yet. Hold on a little longer, just a little longer!
Trust me, we won't die!"
"Cheng... Shi..."
Xiang Honglin's voice also began to become old and hoarse. Her eyes flickered, and she hissed:
"Don't let anyone know about me getting old..."
"..."
No, big sister, at a time like this, is your focus a bit too strange?
Besides, do you think everyone is as big-mouthed as Tao Yi?
My mouth is very tight, okay!
Cheng Shi nodded unhappily, then suddenly stuffed a die to Xiang Honglin.
Xiang Honglin took the die in surprise and found that it was just an ordinary die, not the 【Fate】 token she wanted, so she looked at Cheng Shi with doubt in her eyes.
Cheng Shi smiled cunningly:
"Giving you a die to firm up your belief, feel the favor of 【Fate】. I have something else to do, so I won't accompany you for now.
Hold on, you must hold on!
Wait for me to come back.
Soon!"
After speaking, Cheng Shi disappeared on the spot!
Watching her teammate who encouraged her to go all-in disappear suddenly, the shock in Xiang Honglin's eyes could no longer be hidden.
This was not part of the plan!
This Fate Weaver who pulled her into the bet had never said he would disappear!
Xiang Honglin's expression changed drastically, her hand tightly clutching the die, her eyes filled with anger.
"Cheng! Shi! You..."
The giant pythons in front were surrounding more and more, and the 【Decay】 in her body was accumulating more and more. Realizing she had no way out, Xiang Honglin roared, wantonly venting the frustration in her heart.
She told herself: This is the last time! This must be the last time! This has to be the last time!
And after hearing this roar, the python group twisting and writhing beside her raised their heads to the sky and hissed.
The chorus of 【Decay】 echoed in the sky endlessly, finally attracting the attention of interested people in this thick night. ===== CHAPTER 312 =====
