Chapter 438: Though the Old Bow is Old

Though the Old Bow is Old...

"Cough, cough, the Grand Marshal is charging at the front. I'm afraid there's no place for an acrobat like me in the team. The next circus is about to start, and I still have to prepare in advance. I'm withdrawing first."

As he spoke, Long Jing cupped his hands toward the crowd, turned back to spit at "Zhen Yi" with sarcasm, and then, just like when he appeared, put on a mask and disappeared instantly.

Seeing someone leave, "Cheng Shi's" face darkened:

"Brother Hu, I'm cooking in the rest area, I can't leave. If it's not possible... shall we do it next time?"

Hearing "Cheng Shi's" such blunt refusal, Hu Wei's trust in his identity increased by another notch. He patted "Cheng Shi's" shoulder again and laughed loudly:

"Hahaha, what are you panicking about? I won't sabotage my brother. This is truly good stuff this time, it involves secrets I can't talk about yet.

But brother, rest assured, if we can get our hands on it, I guarantee you'll thank me.

You've seen it too, my team really is missing a priest."

"......"

With things having reached this point, "Cheng Shi" naturally couldn't refuse, so he could only laugh dryly and stand still, saying no more.

Mo Li stepped forward and joined the team. Chen Shu really wanted to follow the main force, but after taking two steps, he was warned by a knife thrown by the Grand Marshal that stuck into the ground at his feet:

"My team is indeed missing someone, but it's not you.

You and Zhen Yi haven't seen each other for a long time, why don't you go have a good chat? As for that remaining spot...

Heh, having listened for so long, do you want to go or not?"

The crowd looked toward the distant spectator stands in surprise following Hu Wei's gaze, only to see that among the vigilant "Mediocre" on the periphery, a player wearing a hood slowly raised his head against Hu Wei's gaze, took off his hood, and revealed a weathered face with aged skin and sagging wrinkles.

Cheng Shi had long expected that the venue wouldn't be full of Mediocre, but he didn't expect that with such explosive information in the venue, someone could still resist curiosity and hide in the crowd without participating in the discussion.

Could it be that he wasn't afraid that those peak players in the venue would really seal everyone's hearing?

However, players who could be invited by Hu Wei likely had their own means. This "old man" looked like he was likely one of the peak players of 【Decay】.

So, who is he?

This doubt didn't last long; the glib Chen Shu pointed out the other party's identity immediately.

"Yo, Old Yu is here too. Not dead yet?"

The old man called "Old Yu" chuckled and retorted in a hoarse voice:

"Before you get beaten to death by someone else, I won't be dead yet.

Today, this old man's mood is like a roller coaster. I thought my Benefactor was gone, but I didn't expect it was the opponent who was gone. Good, good indeed.

【Prosperity】 has fallen, can this world be far from 【Decay】?

Since the Grand Marshal thinks highly of an old thing like me, then this old man naturally can't be one of those tactless people. Let's go, with these old arms and legs, it's time to exercise."

As he spoke, the old player in black stood up happily and swayed toward the venue.

Seeing this scene, Cheng Shi's gaze narrowed, thinking this person should be the number two of 【Decay】, Yu Mu.

He only knew this person's ID was the same as his name, but he didn't know he was actually this old, and this didn't look like aging caused by the influence of 【Decay】, but rather that this Yu Mu seemed to be an old man to begin with.

As Yu Mu walked down, his gaze swept over "Zhen Yi." He hummed and said while walking:

"The girl surnamed Zhen is here too, what a coincidence. Why aren't you mentioning making me a crutch today?"

Cheng Shi was stunned. He didn't expect Zhen Yi to tease even someone as old as this. Helplessly, he had to giggle and respond:

"Hee~

I see you old thing don't have many days left to live, so I might as well wait until you die to tidy up your bones and make two pairs of crutches to benefit others. How about it, isn't this idea wonderful?"

As soon as the words fell, someone in the venue clapped and echoed:

"Wonderful!

I'll reserve a pair first!"

The crowd looked at the sound, only to see that the person was none other than Chen Shu.

"......"

"......"

"......"

Yu Mu's face darkened, and his smile froze instantly on his face, but then he stopped, stretched out a pair of withered hands, and said with a fake smile:

"Grand Marshal, since we've met, why don't we change the way we play.

Before we go to get the things, let's warm up our hands and feet first.

Both of these unlucky things are here, why don't we take one out today to purify this game environment?"

After finishing, Yu Mu suddenly drew his bow like an old general going to war, aiming a withered vine thorn arrow at Chen Shu at his feet.

Then, only a "Buzz—" explosion was heard, and a fierce wind that was hard to capture with the naked eye whistled toward Chen Shu.

Cheng Shi's gaze narrowed. He thought new trouble had come, but who knew that in the next second, Chen Shu actually reached out his hand lightly, inserted one hand into the wind, caught the wooden arrow, and then flipped his wrist, propping the thin wooden branch on the ground, and said with a clicking sound:

"A bit thin, a bit short. If it's used as a crutch, it doesn't feel as good as Old Yu's bones.

I say Zhen Yi, when can you make this crutch? I'm still looking forward to it."

"Zhen Yi" smiled brightly:

"In a rush?

If you're in such a rush, why don't you pull out your own bones and make a pair for me? It just so happens that it's not easy to walk without bones, and adding a pair of crutches will be more convenient."

"......"

This sentence bluntly stunned Chen Shu.

Not big sister, the only person in the venue willing to be in the same camp as you is being scolded by you like this, are you really not afraid of being beaten by the crowd?

Chen Shu pursed his lips.

Seeing that "Zhen Yi" was unwilling to stand on his side, and Yu Mu on the side was inciting Hu Wei to take action against him, after careful consideration, he felt that it was better to leave as the best policy, so he casually threw something at "Cheng Shi" and said with great emotion:

"Only brother-in-law doesn't dislike me. Brother-in-law, this is a communication tool, let's keep in touch."

"Cheng Shi" didn't dare to answer, but Hu Wei grabbed the flying object for Cheng Shi first.

But as soon as he got it, he discovered that it was actually a piece of well-packaged chewing gum!

The Grand Marshal's face darkened and he was about to flare up, but then he heard a "Boom—" sound, and the entire venue shook.

The crowd changed color at the sound and looked toward the source, only to find that the void beneath the venue had been blown open somewhere, revealing a passage hidden under the venue's seating area.

Cheng Shi's pupils shrank as he saw that the direction was exactly where Chen Shu had come from earlier.

It turned out that the piece of chewing gum he had stuck on the wall at that time was actually a small explosive.

This Chosen of 【Silence】 was unexpectedly steady.

At the same time, just as everyone was stunned, Chen Shu jumped high in front of the blasted ruin passage, pretended to be completely unaware, and scolded with his hands on his hips:

"What kind of person is this, actually hiding explosives in chewing gum, really no quality!"

"......"

After finishing, he ignored everyone else's eyes and looked toward Hu Wei's direction with excitement.

Everyone's faces darkened upon hearing this. Hu Wei even threw the chewing gum in his hand back to Chen Shu quickly, but seeing this, Chen Shu didn't dodge, but instead greeted it with a joyful face.

Hu Wei's gaze narrowed, thinking he had fallen into a trap. He raised his hand and swung his giant sword, wanting to cut off Chen Shu's movement, but Yu Mu, who was standing nearby, moved faster than the Grand Marshal. He opened his sleeves, raised his hand, and shot a draw-shot. The vine arrow accurately hit the finger-sized chewing gum, and under invisible traction, it flew back rapidly toward his hand.

Chen Shu jumped high and reached out but failed to grab it. His brows furrowed, his gaze narrowed, and he immediately turned and ran wildly toward Yu Mu.

Seeing this, Yu Mu retracted the arrow faster. Not only that, he even had the energy to draw the bow again.

However, this time, there was no arrow on the bow, but after Chen Shu saw it, his face changed slightly, and he withdrew without hesitation.

But it was at the very moment he withdrew that the corner of his fluttering clothes was a beat slow, so it was wrapped by an invisible force, instantly aged and decayed in the process of rapid withdrawal, shattering into dust.

Chen Shu pursed his lips and said sarcastically:

"Good 'Sudden Twilight', it seems I have to change my words. From now on, I won't call you Old Yu anymore, I should call you Old Bow!

Hmm, not bad, though the old bow is old, it's still powerful when hitting the target!"
