Chapter 313: Who said we lost the bet?

Who said we lost the bet?

Xiang Honglin couldn't hold on anymore.

If it was just being eroded by 【Decay】, she could clearly have held on longer, but from just now, some mechanical simulation bodies that were not Twisted Night Pythons had clearly appeared in the python group.

They mixed in the python group and waited for an opportunity, seemingly looking for something around Xiang Honglin. After wandering around a few times and not finding the target, the "furious" mechanical giant pythons began their probing. They had to know where the contract went.

So a giant python suddenly raised its head, hissed, and shot its body straight at Xiang Honglin's heart!

And just at this critical moment, the most "pious" Twisted Night Pythons in front of Xiang Honglin suddenly hissed and stood up, building a wall of 【Decay】 with their decaying flesh and blood for this "envoy" carrying the aura of the Final Tomb!

The mechanical giant python was very fast, couldn't avoid it, hit the wall built by the python bodies, stopped instantly, and fell, and was then quickly entangled and strangled by the surrounding angry Twisted Night Pythons, turning into a pile of scrap metal.

Xiang Honglin watched this scene from behind the wall of flesh and blood, her pupils shrank, and her gaze slightly condensed.

Before today, she couldn't imagine that a 【Prosperity】 warrior as strong as herself would stand on the land of 【Decay】 like a fragile paper doll that would fall with a gust of wind, with no power to fight back. Not only that, what's more outrageous is that the one blocking these inexplicable attacks for her wasn't that Fate Weaver who fooled her into going all-in, but a group of 【Decay】 creations that were tricked by the stone in her hand!

God, if 【Fate】 really has a script, what kind of plot is this?

Did He not notice that the script was held upside down when He wrote it?

【Decay】 believing in 【Prosperity】, 【Decay】 defending 【Prosperity】, 【Decay】 supporting 【Prosperity】...

Each of these three sentences could be taken out as a hellish joke, but today, right before her eyes, the hellish joke really became hell.

Xiang Honglin couldn't tell who was the joke for a while. She only knew Cheng Shi guessed right. The mushroom-foots in the Sighing Forest were indeed not a simple faith exile, because the fragments scattered all over the ground told her that the giant python that tried to attack her was not a Twisted Night Python at all, but a mimic creation from the Mechanical Engineering Department of the Tower of Rationality!

The believers of 【Truth】 indeed played a role in this filthy faith theft, and perhaps, even the protagonist!

But none of this was the most important. The most important thing was that after the first probe tore open a gap, the mechanical giant pythons in the python group went crazy and flew toward her.

Decaying flesh and blood always have a time when they run out. The Twisted Night Pythons on the outside didn't know what was happening inside. The night pythons around Xiang Honglin were still strangling the fragments on the ground. In the chaos, there was always one or two mechanical giant pythons that found an opportunity and lunged straight at her face.

And at this time, Xiang Honglin almost didn't even have the strength to speak. Her skin was sagging, her organs were aging and withering, and even her consciousness began to be eroded by 【Decay】, becoming no longer so firm about 【Prosperity】.

The trace of 【Prosperity】 power she left in her body to delay 【Decay】 was finally consumed in fear and anger.

"Cheng... Shi... this is... the last... time..."

Seeing the mechanical giant python with its giant jaws split open and its incredibly sharp saw teeth shining, Xiang Honglin could no longer remain indifferent. She felt she couldn't wait for the return of that gambling teammate.

So at this true moment of life and death, she gritted her teeth, took out a decree radiating 【Order】 brilliance from her portable space, and prepared to use the power of 【Order】 to end this trial!

Yes, Xiang Honglin didn't go all-in completely!

She was indeed betting for Cheng Shi with her life, but this was a bet that could be withdrawn. She couldn't truly give her life here, so she still kept a hand, the deepest hand, a hand she hadn't even used when she was surrounded by enemies on the battlefield!

【Order】!

She had found a remnant page of 【Order】, and the power inside could send her directly out of the trial.

But given her current state, even if she was sent out, the situation was not optimistic.

But serious injury is better than death, so she moved.

But just at this lightning-fast moment, just at the moment she raised her hand and was about to use the 【Order】 remnant page, a figure appeared.

Cheng Shi!

This Fate Weaver who said "I'll be back soon" to Xiang Honglin finally rushed back when she was hanging by a thread.

As soon as he appeared, he blocked in front of Xiang Honglin, letting the mechanical giant python bite his shoulder without moving.

Xiang Honglin's gaze tightened when she saw this. Before she could say "be careful," the second giant python swept and broke Cheng Shi's right leg, crushing his broken bones.

And Cheng Shi remained motionless, just vomiting blood and laughing twice, but still stretched out a hand to block in front of Xiang Honglin.

"You..."

Xiang Honglin struggled to raise her hand to support his back, holding up his swaying body. Before she could speak, she heard Cheng Shi look back and smile:

"What do you say, Baldy, I didn't stand behind you this time."

Still laughing!

What time is it and you're still laughing!

Although somewhat gritting her teeth, the moment Cheng Shi blocked in front of her, the anger in Xiang Honglin's heart, who was still in boundless rage, suddenly vanished.

Her turbid eyes eroded by 【Decay】 clearly flashed with strange brilliance, but not long after, that brilliance disappeared, and her expression suddenly became frustrated, seemingly wanting to say something, but her hoarse throat could no longer speak, so she could only shake her head, trying to tell Cheng Shi that this bet was probably going to fail.

Even if he guessed everything, guessed that Oupusika wouldn't attack her who was also "Decay," guessed that this was an experiment of the Tower of Rationality, guessed that the Twisted Night Pythons would follow the aura of the Final Tomb, but it was all useless.

This scam disguised as an envoy of 【Decay】 had attracted enough followers of 【Decay】, but her Patron still hadn't cast His gaze.

Clearly, 【Prosperity】 didn't need a revenge.

Perhaps the star fire that was about to go out was those poor mushroom-foots, but with the rewriting of the contract and the arrival of night, they might have already...

No, wait!

Although the sluggishness was slowing down Xiang Honglin's thinking, she still thought of something. She looked at Cheng Shi with a smile on his mouth and suddenly realized that his disappearance just now might have been to...

She suddenly raised her heavy eyelids and looked at Cheng Shi with the only remaining hope in her eyes to seek an answer.

Cheng Shi's breath weakened under the attack of the mechanical giant python. He seemed to understand the question in Xiang Honglin's eyes, but he still shook his head and said:

"They, have turned into 【Decay】."

Hearing this, a flash of disappointment flashed in Xiang Honglin's eyes, but immediately after, a trace of relief rose.

What was relieving was that Cheng Shi was indeed a friend worth making. At least he wasn't a bad person like her, he still missed those innocent mushroom-foots in his heart.

What was disappointing was that the bet was lost after all. Even if so many chips were invested, it was still lost.

But it's okay, as long as the green hills remain, there's no need to worry about firewood. She stretched out her hand, pulled the equally seriously injured Cheng Shi to her side, and prepared to use this 【Order】 remnant page.

But just at this time, Cheng Shi smiled again.

A playful smile.

"Baldy, you don't think we've lost, do you?"

Xiang Honglin paused sluggishly, looked up in surprise, and just with this look up, she saw a madman spraying blood from his mouth push her away, staggeringly stand up on one leg, and laugh crazily:

"The chips have just been placed on the table, who said we lost the bet?

Your Patron might hate betrayal, but I wouldn't dare to bet on Her pleasure with a revenge!

So, that prairie fire definitely won't be a revenge against 【Decay】, it will only be an offering to 【Prosperity】!

And right now, our offering hasn't started yet, how can we admit defeat!"

Just as Cheng Shi shouted loudly, more and more mechanical giant pythons broke through the blockade and rushed over, but he was not afraid at all. His hand with green light on his fingertips tapped lightly on himself and Xiang Honglin, his face ferocious and his expression crazy:

"I said, today, my mouth is the Book of Life and Death of the King of Hell. As the gravekeeper of 【Death】, if I don't agree, no one will become an offering in front of me!"

Xiang Honglin was stunned, and then finally realized: So this Fate Weaver actually grafted the fate of a gravekeeper?

Or did he kill a gravekeeper with his own hands?

This is too weird. Why would a gravekeeper not even be able to guard himself, but instead be solved by a Fate Weaver?

It couldn't be that like her, he was... fooled into stupidity, and then... scammed to death?

But regardless, looking at the 【Death】 green light lingering on her body, Xiang Honglin finally knew where Cheng Shi's confidence came from.

No wonder he dared to boast that he could protect her. It turns out he had a trump card of 【Death】.

Yes, this is indeed a trump card of 【Death】, but the problem is, does Cheng Shi have it?

He doesn't!

He doesn't have it at all!

He had already given that trump card of 【Death】 to that group of poor mushroom-foots!

When he switched to 【Fate】 faith and used the "never-lost gambling tool" to go to the mushroom-foot tribe, because he didn't act in the 【Fraud】 faith, he still had one chance to use "Lies are like yesterday."

So when he deceived the mushroom-foots into letting go and embracing 【Decay】, he switched back to 【Fraud】 and handed over that trump card of 【Death】!

But when he switched back to 【Fate】 and used the die to return to Xiang Honglin's side, the effect of "Lies are like yesterday" had already ended.

"Reflection of Nothingness" cannot retain the effect of faith, so the current Cheng Shi is not a gravekeeper at all. After switching back to 【Fraud】 again, he became a pure clown!

The green light on his fingertips is not the color of 【Death】 at all, but the green fluorescent paint he had carefully prepared long ago!

This kind of crude trick wouldn't have fooled Xiang Honglin at any other time, but coincidentally, Xiang Honglin at this time had been eroded by 【Decay】 to the point of being somewhat conscious-blurred, so she didn't distinguish that the gravekeeper in front of her wasn't a gravekeeper at all, not even a Fate Weaver, but a clown who had scammed her from beginning to end!

He was even scamming the life-saving trump card he gave her!

Sorry... I am a liar, all I can give you is lies.

But it just so happens I am a clown, I can use lies to heal others.

So, when you believe that I am using the method of 【Death】 to hang your life and mine, your life and mine, are really hung by 【Death】!

Honest Clown, Cheng Shi Clown!

Cheng Shi is indeed a clown, but he is an honest clown.

I said I could protect you, then, you will definitely not die in front of me.

Even if all this is a scam, a scam from beginning to end!

But at least the promise is not. ===== CHAPTER 314 =====
