Chapter 489: You've arrived? I've been waiting for you for a long time
You've arrived? I've been waiting for you for a long time
Cheng Shi slipped away, nothing happened.
Under the protection of the "Vitality" authority, he directly pulled out the arrow and left the scene.
And the method of leaving the scene couldn't be simpler.
From the beginning, he had been secretly burying dice on the road he passed, so from the square to the residential area and then to the Imperial Court, he had positions he could swap with along the way.
But he didn't choose to leave the Imperial Court, but teleported to a place as far away from his teammates as possible.
The battle situation was tense just now, and he didn't have time to think. During the time he was shot and fleeing, he suddenly realized that this wasn't a killing game aimed at Poison.
Or rather, the current sneak attack wasn't aimed at Poison, but at himself!
These "hunters" want him to die!
And the hunters here don't just refer to the man-eating Gong Yangjiao and the chameleon good at hiding, but also Seeing Da Yi who disappeared in advance and Jiang Chi who pretended to be injured and watched the show!
They all want him to die.
Because whether it's from the perspective of hunting Poison or from the perspective of obtaining 【Scars of Gift】, he, this priest, is an obstacle.
In the eyes of Gong Yangjiao and his partner, not killing the priest would make Poison harder to deal with, and in the eyes of his good teammates just now, having one more person who has ideas about 【Scars of Gift】 to share the spoils wouldn't let them get more benefits.
Thus, Seeing Da Yi used Poison's emotional tug-of-war to leave the team irritably, creating an opportunity for the hunters' hunt, and Jiang Chi's "only retreat without killing" method also allowed the chameleon to successfully find an opportunity to kill the healer first.
Of course, the former might not be intentionally aimed at him, but it didn't matter who died, but the latter... must have had no choice. He couldn't let his partner die, so he could only push him out.
As for the Pointer Knight's partner, that Poison who disappeared after rushing out...
To be honest, Cheng Shi didn't feel that Poison's will was also to let him die, but her wrong judgment of the situation led to her being entangled by Gong Yangjiao after rushing out and unable to return to help, which indeed contributed to this killing game.
When Gong Yangjiao broke free from her side, perhaps, it would be time for the Screaming Earl and the chameleon to join forces to kill him first.
And this is also the reason why Jiang Chi would "blatantly" release water, because he was expressing his attitude through his performance, letting Cheng Shi know that this team was not friendly to him.
In Jiang Chi's eyes, as long as Cheng Shi isn't a fool, he will definitely notice the malice toward him in this team, so he won't choose to return to the team after being injured and fleeing. Once Cheng Shi is alone, then the hunters' opportunity will come, not to mention this prey is still an injured Fate Weaver.
So, in this sudden sneak attack, everyone became a winner, only Cheng Shi, like a stray dog, fled to another place.
But is that really the case?
Not really.
Perhaps Cheng Shi did misjudge the situation at the moment of the attack and didn't expect this to be a killing game aimed at him, but after being shot, he realized it. He sorted out the current situation and actively chose not to return to the team.
This isn't because he no longer trusts Jiang Chi and others; to be honest, he never trusted them. He just thought of a method and wanted to solve some troubles in the trial first.
For example, the Screaming Earl who has been making trouble everywhere.
Gong Yangjiao's thinking wasn't wrong. When hunting, one should indeed kill the healer first. In the eyes of others, everything that just happened can indeed be counted as a wonderful hunt, but they all ignored one point, which is that prey sometimes isn't simply prey.
In a hunt, the identities of hunter and prey aren't set from the beginning, but whoever falls is the prey.
Cheng Shi has always thought so, so he doesn't want to be prey.
Gong Yangjiao also thinks so, but he feels he must be that hunter.
This Fate Weaver does have some thin fame in the peak circle. Although the cause is because of a rumor, anyone who can have a name in this circle won't be a simple player.
Gong Yangjiao is a madman, but not a fool. He won't underestimate any opponent, and he has already looked up to Cheng Shi very much, so he chose to join forces with the chameleon to kill Cheng Shi.
You know, the lineup he attempted to kill Poison with was only two people joining forces. A Fate Weaver famous for rumors, surely he can't be more tricky than a real God-Chosen, right?
Gong Yangjiao doesn't believe this.
Valuing an opponent doesn't mean demonizing the opponent. He is good at demonizing himself, making enemies feel fear, so after quickly getting rid of Poison, he immediately turned and followed the traces left by his companion to chase Cheng Shi.
But as he chased, he found that the footsteps of his hunter companion... were messy.
Gong Yangjiao stood on the roof of the palace, overlooking half of the palace with a frown. He looked at the chameleon at his feet and said with a gloomy expression:
"Don't tell me you lost the person?"
The chameleon glanced up, his expression unhappy, but he did lose the person, because he found that the prey wasn't walking at all, but had been flashing and moving between several locations.
The most outrageous thing is that these locations aren't close to each other, which put him in a tight spot for a while.
A hunter's speed is very fast, and in most cases, they have agility far exceeding other professions, but the premise is that you have speed.
If the target starts teleporting, then the standard of speed naturally loses its meaning.
This hunter of 【Silence】 didn't think that the healer had a means of escape; he just didn't think that the means of escape in the hands of this Fate Weaver named Cheng Shi seemed...
No CD?
Is this reasonable?
This Fate Weaver has been switching back and forth inside and outside the Imperial Court, his aura near and far, how does this make him answer Gong Yangjiao's question?
Say he can't catch up to the prey?
That would be too shameful. Fortunately, he is a believer of 【Silence】 and doesn't need to make any response.
The chameleon thought for a moment and decided to block them separately. When the two of them blocked Cheng Shi's flashing path in the middle, they would have a chance to approach the prey again.
So he pointed out a direction to the high-and-mighty Gong Yangjiao, while he himself turned into a gust of wind and ran to the other end.
Gong Yangjiao frowned as he watched the hunter's disappearing back, and spat out a mouthful of blood foam from the hole in his cheek.
"Pah, nothing more than that."
After finishing, he leaped and flew in the indicated direction. With their speed, Cheng Shi would soon be blocked in the middle by a pincer attack from left and right.
But Cheng Shi isn't a fool. He didn't flash back and forth to confuse the hunter, but to... call the hunter.
He is waiting for the hunter to arrive, but with his current strength, one-on-two might be a bit troublesome, so he used this method to separate the two hunters.
He anticipated that the other party would surround him, so in the process of constantly changing positions, he was also guessing who would be the lucky one among the hunters to be bumped into by him first.
And once he discovered the trace of one of them, he wouldn't move anymore.
Just like now, looking at the Screaming Earl appearing in his field of vision, Cheng Shi stopped his figure with a smile, took out a pair of invisible gloves from his portable space and put them on, while casually scattering dice all over the sky, letting these dice fall to the ground with the heavy snow.
When one of these countless dice rolled around in the snow and finally swayed to a stop on a 1.
Cheng Shi shook his neck, exercised his hands and feet, and smiled brilliantly at Gong Yangjiao, who was falling not far in front of him with a ferocious face:
"You've arrived? I've been waiting for you for a long time.
Time is limited, let's...
Make it quick!" ===== CHAPTER 490 =====
