Chapter 455: Cheng Shi, worthy of being my brother!
Cheng Shi, worthy of being my brother!
Not only Hu Xuan, but as the fire splashed, Cheng Shi's body also had many burn marks.
Neither of them was an illusion.
So, who is Cheng Shi? And who is this woman?
Hu Wei's brows were locked, his gaze like lightning, his sight passing over the two in turn. Thinking of the light he saw in the cage earlier, his eyes immediately became complex.
Because he had already guessed the identity of this stunning beauty.
"Hu Xuan!"
Hu Xuan glanced at Hu Wei with a cold expression, said nothing, and turned to run toward the direction of another dead infant.
According to the script Cheng Shi wrote for her, her role was to help Cheng Shi save people, saving everyone except Zhen Yi and Yu Mu.
Besides that, she didn't need to pay attention to anyone, and didn't even have a single line!
Seeing Hu Xuan walk away coldly, Hu Wei turned to look at Cheng Shi in front of him, but there was no gratitude in his eyes, only solemnity and suspicion.
This couldn't be blamed on him; after all, in an environment with Zhen Yi, no one dared to trust others.
But Cheng Shi had prepared for too long; he had plenty of ways to make the other party believe him, but strangely, he did nothing, not even offering an explanation, instead following Hu Xuan with a livid face.
Seeing this, Hu Wei's expression froze, and after observing left and right for a moment, he decisively chose to follow.
But Cheng Shi didn't pay attention to him, instead panting heavily and looking down at his feet. The way his brows were furrowed didn't look like acting at all, but rather like something was truly lurking around.
After running for a while, Cheng Shi's physical strength clearly declined significantly, and even Hu Xuan's footsteps in front slowed down.
Cheng Shi saw Hu Xuan's pace begin to stagger. Without a word, he gritted his teeth and gave a mental technique. Hu Xuan stabilized her figure, looked back at him, nodded firmly, and continued to run forward.
Only when he saw this mental technique take effect did Hu Wei's complexion ease a little. At the same time, the vigilance in his eyes dissipated slightly, and embarrassment arose.
He felt his own state was fine, but he didn't know how these two in front of him had become like this, so he took two quick steps, helped Cheng Shi up, and said with a complex tone:
"Cheng Shi, this is..."
A flash of anger crossed Cheng Shi's eyes. To be honest, being slashed at the head by the rescue target when saving someone would make anyone angry, but Cheng Shi performed even more richly. He not only expressed this anger vividly, but also mixed in some helplessness and grievance.
That mixed emotion was like telling Hu Wei: I know why you slashed me, and I know why you don't trust me, but I'm still angry because I'm also a victim!
A victim of that Trickster Master and this 【Nativity】 crisis!
Hu Wei was a person very good at reading people. His insight had never failed his name as a Grand Marshal, and being good at reading people meant being good at observing others' expressions. So he felt Cheng Shi's anger and understood the complexity in his peripheral vision, so his complexion became even more embarrassed. He found that the person in front of him didn't look like any illusion or fake body, but clearly Cheng Shi himself.
But because the slash just now was too decisive, and Cheng Shi and Hu Xuan's attitudes were too cold, in the current situation where the situation was not yet clear, he couldn't think of a suitable way to break the ice and ease this strange "team" relationship.
Just as Hu Wei was a little anxious, Cheng Shi "compromised."
Perhaps it was because he still needed the Grand Marshal's strength, or perhaps he couldn't blame all this on Hu Wei, who was also a victim. In the gap of running away, Cheng Shi panted and explained to Hu Wei:
"Zhen Yi dragged us into Golis's nest. To escape, I blew the whistle and called Hu Xuan...
Golis discovered us escaping and launched a crazy encirclement. We had no choice but to turn back... and look for another way out!
Hu Xuan was seriously injured to block Him, run quickly... otherwise Golis, who was beaten back, will catch up!"
Golis? Nest? Encirclement?
Putting this information in any scene, Hu Wei might have to go through it three times in his mind, because too many key details were missing. But driven by Cheng Shi and Hu Xuan's actions, in this atmosphere of fleeing, he just frowned and thought roughly, and vaguely sorted out the whole thing.
It seemed that his little brother didn't want to save him at first, but had no choice because he couldn't escape, so he thought of coming back to save people.
Good, very good, he was indeed Cheng Shi!
After figuring out the situation, Hu Wei took a few more steps, even flying, grabbed Cheng Shi, and strode forward.
How fast a trap-breaking warrior can sprint at full speed doesn't need much description. The Grand Marshal carried Cheng Shi in one hand, caught up with Hu Xuan in front in two steps, carried her in the other hand, and then ran wildly toward the next dead infant.
In the process of running wildly, his gaze looked at the void under his feet many times, and he indeed saw countless shadow tentacles spreading upward.
Hu Wei's gaze sharpened, and he still had the energy to ask in a deep voice:
"What is Golis?"
Ah?
Big Brother, you don't know?
Cheng Shi was stunned. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Hu Xuan take the lead and say weakly:
"The Messenger of my Lord, the scourge that punishes blasphemy—I unleashed the aura of 【Birth】 to suppress Him, but it can only be maintained for a short time. He is about to come up."
Messenger!
No other words were needed. Just hearing this one word, Hu Wei knew that this round was definitely a life-and-death struggle!
However, he also heard some other things in Hu Xuan's words, such as this 【Nativity】 believer who claimed to be the Eternal Sun actually had the strength to confront the Messenger head-on!
Although she was covered in blood and seriously injured, being able to retreat unscathed after facing the Messenger was enough to prove everything.
She was an expert.
And seriously injured!
And, she likely killed one of his brothers.
Thinking of this, Hu Wei's gaze sharpened!
But for a long time afterward, he didn't take any action, instead, his footsteps became faster.
He didn't think about revenge. Yes, Hu Wei never thought about revenge!
That slash just now was just a probe without recognizing Hu Xuan, not to avenge his brother.
In the Grand Marshal's mind, if someone learned about his essence through those around him, his first reaction wouldn't be to kill to silence them, but to want to measure this insider to see if they were qualified to become a new member of his own people!
The Marshal was never afraid of betrayal and death when leading troops; what he feared was having no soldiers to use!
And now, he clearly felt that Hu Xuan had the qualifications to be his own.
So what he had to do was protect Hu Xuan, not take advantage of her weakness to kill her.
But he also had doubts in his heart, because the whistle sound was clearly not far from his ears just now, so why was the distance between them now pulled so long?
However, he didn't ask this doubt, because he guessed that it was very likely that Golis, who had been repelled by Hu Xuan for a moment, had done something.
He was probably preventing the players from escaping.
"..."
Cheng Shi naturally didn't know that his good Big Brother had so many inner dramas. He only knew that Hu Xuan's improvisation just now was really good. She seemed to have gained some understanding of this Grand Marshal through the death of that Fisherman, so she moved Hu Wei with such a sentence.
From Hu Wei's acceleration, it could be seen that he was really running wildly with all his strength now.
The three people ran to the second cage in a short while, and at this time, the shadows in the void under their feet were getting closer and closer.
Hu Wei saw the curled-up dead infant shell and slashed over with a sword. Unfortunately, with the blessing of Golis's true power, this slash didn't even leave a white mark.
"..." Hu Wei's complexion froze, and he looked at Cheng Shi.
Cheng Shi was overjoyed in his heart but didn't dare to have any hesitation. With a pale complexion, he staggered forward and tore open the skin of the dead infant with his bare hands.
The player inside felt the return of consciousness. Before they even came out, the voice had already been transmitted.
"This place..."
Before finishing, Hu Wei reached in and dragged the trapped Mo Li out, while covering his mouth that had just opened! ===== CHAPTER 456 =====
