Chapter 364: Wood Elves are not omnipotent

Wood Elves are not omnipotent

Mo Shu chuckled: "You want to protect him?"

"No."

"???" Tian Xie stared with both eyes at Cheng Shi, so scared he almost choked to death on the cake.

Cheng Shi ignored the gaze from behind and continued: "I just saw he was hungry, so I shared some food with him."

"Interesting. You are more interesting than those cold-blooded top-tier players.

Fine, for your sake, I can not kill him. However, you only have half a cake left in your hand. According to my rules, half a cake can't protect one person, not to mention you have two other teammates in this trial..."

Hearing this, Cheng Shi raised an eyebrow. Gou Feng really didn't die!

It seems he really used the Uma Sinner's umbilical cord shackles to escape!

As long as this 【Birth】 believer didn't die, then the matter of the artificial Holy Infant would be much simpler. I hope the squinty-eyed one can bring him back safely.

Speaking of the squinty-eyed one...

"Zhang Jizu also only ate half a piece; why didn't you take action against him?"

"Him? He didn't even eat half a piece. Ha, I can't kill him, so naturally, I won't waste my energy." Mo Shu smiled, seemingly not feeling that this was shameful.

"..."

You guys are really unexpectedly pragmatic...

Seeing Cheng Shi speechless, Mo Shu laughed happily for once:

"Cheng Shi, you are really interesting.

Since it's so hard to choose, I'll make an exception and give you another chance:

Make a decision before noon tomorrow and let one of the lucky ones eat that half cake, so I can let another one go.

But remember, only one can survive.

Oh right, to avoid you clearing the trial tonight and being teleported out, I'll take that church person away. After I kill that lucky one tomorrow, I'll return him to you."

After finishing, Mo Shu disappeared on the spot without even giving them time to react.

Cheng Shi's face darkened. He left the two behind and ran wildly in the direction Tu Lading had left, but after running for a while, he found that Tu Lading had disappeared from the outer courtyard, leaving only two shoes thrown at both ends of the corridor, testifying to the fact that he had been kidnapped.

He frowned at this scene, his expression gradually turning cold.

You want to kill, that's fine, but you've obstructed my speedrun again and again, which makes people very unhappy.

The other two ran over and saw that the key person for the artificial Holy Infant had disappeared. Their expressions also changed. Gao Ya frowned, looking at the church personnel gathering more and more due to the thunder, and said in a low voice:

"Tu Lading isn't the only one who can create topics; we can do it ourselves. As long as we spread the news about the 【Filthy Fall】 Holy Infant and make them believe such a person exists, it's not difficult for us, is it?"

Cheng Shi nodded, then shook his head:

"Doing it isn't difficult; the difficulty is how to make the Fertility Church and local residents believe it.

This isn't reality, and we can't be sure what kind of storm a rumor will cause after it spreads. If they believe it, that's fine, but if this rumor fails and makes the public vigilant, it will be difficult to make them think that some evil spirit is about to descend."

"That's also not difficult; just kill. You also said that the descent of the Holy Infant must have anomalies. If you kill enough, the convergence of fear might really catalyze a real Holy Infant."

Cheng Shi heard this and raised an eyebrow, thinking to himself that your nostrils are really dark.

But he still shook his head:

"Simple and crude methods are effective in the Civilization Era, but that doesn't mean they are effective in the Life Era.

If you have learned about the Three Uma Tribes, you should know how fanatical the people of this era are about faith. I'm just afraid that before the real Holy Infant descends, the overly reactive Fertility Church will bring down some great terror, causing this trial to fail directly.

So the reason I led you to look around was never because the trial only had this one solution, but to seek stability.

There are many ways to win; I just chose the most stable one allowed by the rules."

"This doesn't work, that doesn't work; what exactly do you want?" Gao Ya was anxious. After Tian Xie ate the cake that "should have belonged to her," she was anxious. "You accepted my gloves but gave my cake to this other assassin. So now, shouldn't the last half of the cake be given to me!?"

Cheng Shi glanced at her and sneered.

"Ms. Soloist, you probably forgot that if I hadn't stood in front of you two just now, you might have died once already.

So I want to ask, was your Grasp of the Puppet for saving your life, or for filling your stomach?"

"..."

As a smart person, Gao Ya naturally knew that Cheng Shi was right. She had already been saved by Cheng Shi once, even if this time it only delayed things for half a day, but time often represents opportunity.

Thinking of this, she looked at the other assassin again, thinking that this little assassin was lucky; he just "worshipped" a big brother and was protected without any cost.

Cheng Shi saw her expression changing and raised an eyebrow, silently taking out the transparent gloves he had just picked up.

Seeing this action, Gao Ya turned her head away with a complex expression. Obviously, she still had to rely on Cheng Shi's help to survive.

Cheng Shi curled his lips and said with disgust: "You are a 【Foolish】 believer, but your mania is making you move away from your benefactor."

"..."

With life at stake, who can guarantee they are completely calm?

But Gao Ya didn't refute, but silently sang a song of calm for herself.

"We still have a chance. Besides, even if we can't speedrun, can that Cleaner really kill the person he wants to kill?"

Gao Ya sneered: "He might not be able to kill you, but he can definitely kill me."

"..." Smart people are surprisingly self-aware.

Seeing Cheng Shi's strange expression, Gao Ya gritted her teeth again and said in a low voice:

"Fine, I'll cooperate with you. The gloves are still yours, but you must guarantee that before noon tomorrow, you will leave the last half of the cake for me."

Cheng Shi was surprised by Gao Ya's sudden change in attitude. He thought for a moment and nodded:

"It will be yours, but not now.

However, you are right; we can't just rely on Tu Lading to create momentum. Now is the best opportunity. We can spread some wind first, and these church personnel gathering around are the best loudspeakers.

I have some other things to do, so I'll leave for a while. You two quietly disperse into the crowd and tell the outside world that Tu Lading found something incredible while reading the prophecy book and was kidnapped by an unknown force while preparing to go to the library to verify it.

Remember, that's all the content; don't say anything else.

Letting vague rumors slowly ferment into the version they fear themselves is the result we want most. Painting a snake and adding feet is not advisable."

Hearing this, the 【Foolish】 believer's eyes narrowed slightly.

What a dirty method!

Tian Xie was a bit anxious when he heard Cheng Shi was leaving: "Brother, where are you going? I'll go help you!"

Gao Ya hesitated for a moment and also said in a low voice: "There is strength in numbers."

Heh, now you know there is strength in numbers?

I still like the way you were at the beginning, with your nostrils pointing to the sky and leaving alone.

"Splitting up improves efficiency. We huddled together before because we didn't know where the 'hunter' was. Now that the 'hunter' has given us a chance, we should make good use of time.

Wood Elves are not omnipotent and can't be in two places at once, so don't hold me back; you all have to help."

"..."

"..."

Tian Xie and Gao Ya were speechless. At this point, who this "Wood Elf" identity is really fooling is hard to say.

"That's all I'll say. Go quickly. I'll be gone for a moment and will be back immediately."

Saying this, Cheng Shi took two steps back, touched the shadow behind him with the dim light in the corridor, and then snapped his fingers and disappeared on the spot.

Watching Cheng Shi disappear, the two people's pupils shrank, their expressions different.

"Do Druids have this kind of teleportation method?"

Listening to this pitifully stupid question, Gao Ya couldn't help but roll her eyes.

She was very angry—angry that Cheng Shi took her things but didn't do the work, and gave the cake that should have belonged to her to Tian Xie. But she couldn't take the cake Tian Xie had eaten out of his stomach, so she could only compromise and follow Cheng Shi's rhythm first. After all, the one who holds the right to speak now is this Fate Weaver.

So she gritted her teeth, stood up, covered her head, and rushed into the crowd to start spreading rumors.

Seeing this, Tian Xie's gaze narrowed.

He wasn't stupid. Although the current situation seemed favorable to him, and the Cleaner's attention had changed from hunting three people to staring at two, he knew that whether he could survive didn't depend on whether he ate the cake, but on the Cleaner's whim.

The Cleaner might not be able to kill Cheng Shi, nor Zhang Jizu, but he could kill him, and very easily.

So even after eating the cake, Tian Xie didn't feel safe.

The most stable plan at present was to clear the trial as soon as possible and then teleport out. Only returning to the rest area meant he was truly safe, meaning he was far away from this life-threatening top-tier duel.

So he began to rack his brains.

No player who can reach over 2000 points is a true echo chamber. Even if they huddle together because of huge interests and the same purpose, everyone will have their own problem-solving ideas and coping methods. When the collective path is difficult to walk, the individual path appears exceptionally critical.

So Tian Xie began to calculate his own path.

At this time, the time was already approaching midnight, and when today ended, his deduction opportunity would be reset. And having this deduction opportunity meant that a 【Time】 assassin could create more possibilities for the present.

As for what possibilities, the little assassin already had a plan in his heart. ===== CHAPTER 365 =====
