Chapter 501: The Death of Poison

The Death of Poison

Cheng Shi was stunned.

No, sister, are you being too relaxed? Even like this, you can still flirt?

Are you a certified driver from the Railway Bureau?

He smacked his lips, casually changed the position of the scalpel, and pressed it against Poison's neck again.

But Poison, who had just been determined to fight to the death, now looked completely unafraid. She looked at Cheng Shi, panting slightly, her face flushed, and said somewhat unclearly:

"When talking cooperation with others, you're all serious, but when talking cooperation with me, you have to be like this?

Or do you like this way?

Hmm, but if you like it, I like it.

What is this thing? I smell an uncomfortable 【Birth】 scent on it.

Could it be, you want to use this thing to... with me..."

Cheng Shi sneered, the silver light of the scalpel in his hand flashed, and he plunged it directly into Poison's shoulder.

Poison felt the pain, her expression changed slightly.

"Ah~ it hurts~

Little priest, can you be a bit gentler?"

Cheng Shi looked at Poison thoughtfully, frowned, and said: "If you keep blabbering, I'll kill you."

"You won't."

Poison held her neck high and spoke firmly, but her hands were gripped tightly in the bindings. This posture didn't look like she was gambling on Cheng Shi's temper, but rather like she was resisting some kind of pull.

"If you wanted to kill me, Mr. Jiao's strike just now wouldn't have aimed for my shoulder, and the lizard hunter wouldn't have shot all three arrows at the same place."

As she spoke, her speech became increasingly unclear, but her logical thinking was clearly still on track.

"You didn't come to kill me... you are... forcing me to cooperate with you?

No... I understand... you used this method to expel me from their team... are you planning to turn back and attack them?

Interesting... who is your target?

Da Yi... or Jiang Chi?

I can help you... you know... among these people, I am the most trustworthy...

You will trust me... right... little priest?"

As she spoke, Poison actually rubbed against Cheng Shi's neck like a cat inviting affection.

"..."

Something is not right, Poison seems to have been poisoned by poison...

However, setting aside these appearances that were hard to tell true from false, Cheng Shi was actually very irritable inside.

Fighting against peak players was already exhausting, and encountering another player who could constantly perceive your emotions was simply a disaster. Even if you put in 120% effort to deal with it, it was hard to avoid omissions.

Just like now, he had been seen through by this 【Filthy Corruption】 believer again. Even though this 【Filthy Corruption】 believer seemed to have started losing her mind, she still saw through the situation.

Yes, Poison was right. Cheng Shi's purpose in hunting her wasn't to kill her, but to split that team, and then gather all the power he could to kill Jiang Chi!

There were only two endings for those on Cheng Shi's blacklist: either they were like Gong Yangjiao, having utilization value by mistake and needing to work as forced labor to "atone for sins," or they were killed directly, once and for all.

His original intention was to cooperate with Poison. After all, the other party was the only one who understood Jiang Chi. To hunt successfully, knowing yourself and knowing the enemy was one of the most basic prerequisites.

But seeing the other party's "I see through you, I've got you figured out" attitude, Cheng Shi felt inexplicably unhappy.

Think you can see through everyone, huh? Like to flirt, huh?

Fine, fine, fine. Today I'll let you see what it means that human hearts are never easy to measure, and even trains can derail!

Thinking this, Cheng Shi's eyes changed, suddenly becoming sharp. And the moment the corners of his eyes curled up with playfulness, a flash of silver light shone again. In Poison's indifferent and increasingly heated eyes, with a "shhh—" sound, he slit her throat.

Yes, Poison was dead, without resistance, dead by throat-slitting.

Feeling her vitality fading and her vision turning black, Poison, in Cheng Shi's arms, felt no fear, confusion, misunderstanding, or anger. Instead, she curled the corners of her mouth slightly and closed her eyes with satisfaction.

She seemed very happy to die in Cheng Shi's arms.

This 【Filthy Corruption】 God-Chosen died on Cheng Shi's shoulder in the most ordinary way.

Really dead?

Really dead!

Watching the glaring blood drip along the dagger and forearm, the chameleon's expression was strange, and Gong Yangjiao's gaze narrowed slightly.

Everyone knew that such a simple method couldn't possibly truly kill a God-Chosen, but the two of them didn't try to guess the deeper meaning behind Cheng Shi's actions.

Gong was even laughing happily after his astonishment:

"Wonderful, wonderful.

It's a pity she didn't die by my hand!"

But immediately after, he walked up and continued in a manic manner:

"However, being able to die by your hand can be considered an honor for this stinking bitch."

Your hand!

Cheng Shi wasn't surprised by this title. He smiled and casually threw Poison's corpse onto the ground.

The two people beside him stood quietly to one side, saying nothing, waiting for him to issue orders again.

If Da Yi and the others saw this bizarre scene, they might be very shocked—shocked at why these two were so obedient!

And to explain all this clearly, perhaps it had to start from the moment Cheng Shi left the Evil Infant Tribunal.

Time pushed back slightly.

The reason priests were favored by peak players wasn't just because of their healing methods.

At this tier, everyone had enough healing items, but players in trials still tended to encounter a priest teammate. The reason was that a priest's skills were far more efficient and immediate than healing items, and most high-end priests had resurrection abilities that were more convenient than a player's backup plans!

This was the most important thing!

No one liked to waste a life for nothing. If a teammate could pull you back up, why waste your own backup plan?

But not everyone could enjoy a priest teammate's resurrection. At the very least, in the same trial, if you wanted to receive a priest's care, you at least couldn't stand on his opposite side.

Otherwise, only a brain-dead priest would resurrect an enemy.

Cheng Shi's brain was "dead."

He resurrected Gong Yangjiao.

Yes, he resurrected Gong Yangjiao!

Just after he confirmed that those three "teammates" had all left the Rosna Imperial Court, he picked up Gong's minced meat from the ground, put on the Lush Horn Crown, and cast an ordinary healing spell on the meat.

The effect of the Lush Horn Crown was to give healing effects a resurrection attribute. As long as the life form's vitality was exhausted, it could make it revive.

The vitality of a piece of minced meat was clearly exhausted, so Gong Yangjiao revived.

His soul was pulled out of the Bone Servant Lele'er Ring by a magical power of 【Prosperity】 and poured back into his newborn body, reviving naked before Cheng Shi's eyes.

And when Gong Yangjiao's consciousness recovered, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, his whole body stiffened like stone, and before he could do anything, he fell prostrate before...

【Envoy Envoy Yu Xi】's presence.

He heard it!

He heard everything!

Not only that, he also knew Aflos, knowing that it was a terrifying dual-messenger of 【Birth】 and 【Filthy Corruption】.

But these weren't the most terrifying things. The most terrifying thing was that he heard what 【Time】 said!

That was one of the 【Gods】 sitting on the sixteen divine thrones!

A true god, speaking in such an equal tone to the one before him—just this attitude was enough to make Gong Yangjiao feel awe.

He had never seen a god, nor had he ever thought that his first time seeing a god would be completed by parasitizing in a god's subordinate object.

Although 【Time】 didn't care about his existence at all, being able to share the same space with a true god and listen to their divine words—how was this not a form of "seeing a god"?

But at that time, Gong Yangjiao's heart was devoid of joy; there was only fear.

He was afraid, not only that his existence would be exposed, but also that his covetousness for that ring would be seen through by the Lord Envoy Envoy Yu Xi before him.

Yes, he coveted that ring.

When he felt the aura within it that was incomparably compatible with his own faith, as well as the intense fear fluctuations, he wanted to snatch that ring from Cheng Shi's hands.

That was why he used a 【Fear Parasitism】 he had never shown to outsiders to fake his death and "live" inside that ring.

In Gong Yangjiao's plan, when fear surged again in this ring, he could devour these finely sifted fears, nourish himself, and revive, and then...

Scare Cheng Shi with a big one.

He did indeed scare Cheng Shi with a big one, but he didn't expect that he would be scared by Cheng Shi with an even bigger one!

The finely sifted fear appeared, and it included not only Cheng Shi's but also his own.

The quantity was sufficient, but he didn't dare to eat it.

Because among the four existences present at the time, besides his own half-dead human remnant soul, the other three were all 【Him】!

The 【Him】 of the true god and the subordinate god!

Gong Yangjiao was too afraid. He didn't even dare to move, let alone take the opportunity to revive. He could only watch helplessly as those fears, like concentrated essence, bypassed him and were swallowed and absorbed by that ring.

But because no 【Him】 pointed out his existence, this gave Gong Yangjiao a glimmer of luck in his heart.

Perhaps there was still a chance?

But next, as Aflos pointed everything out, he realized that Lord Envoy Envoy Yu Xi had long since seen through his plan.

His fear had been concretized, and of the five screaming mouths that lit up on the Bone Servant Lele'er Ring, four of them were contributed by him!

Gong Yangjiao, hiding in the ring and shivering, couldn't help but sigh:

This is a messenger, a 【Deception】 messenger with eyes like torches!

That's right, what illusion could escape the eyes of the "Ancestor of Illusions"!

He was panicked, so the moment he sensed his revival, he knelt before Envoy Envoy Yu Xi.

He didn't know why 【Envoy Envoy Yu Xi】 would revive him, but he knew that if he didn't seize this opportunity, he might die again the next moment!

And the so-called "Lord Envoy Envoy Yu Xi," after feeling that his fun ring was full, had cold eyes and a playful tone:

"It seems you really like fear, Mr. Jiao."

"..."

Fear was indeed the food of the Scream Earl, but the problem was, eating too much food would make you burst.

Gong Yangjiao lay prostrate on the ground, not daring to breathe. It wasn't until a long time later, seeing the lord before him had no reaction, that he endured the fear in his heart and spoke:

"I... am useful." ===== CHAPTER 502 =====
