Chapter 504: New Prey and Going Alone

New Prey and Going Alone

(Little D...)

Cheng Shi frowned and asked in confusion:

"I observed that he has the ability to solidify time around enemies when attacking. Do pointer knights have this talent?"

As he spoke, he also looked at the victim of this talent, the chameleon.

Although the chameleon wouldn't speak, he nodded slightly. Of course, this nod was an affirmation that he himself had been subjected to time stagnation, not an affirmation of Cheng Shi's question.

"Perhaps it's the superposition of multiple talents?" Poison also frowned, rarely serious, "Or is it the effect of his hour-hand longsword?

Pointer knights are best at grasping timing. Abilities like time stagnation can at most rely on 【Time】's general talents.

There aren't many pointer knights among peak players. You say so, and I'm really not sure.

Why, suspect his identity?"

Cheng Shi shook his head, always feeling that he had missed something.

He pondered for a moment and looked at Gong Yangjiao in front of him, wanting to hear some insights about his warrior peer from this warrior's mouth, but this time, Gong Yangjiao shook his head with a dark face, clearly not knowing much about this Jiang Chi.

"You haven't known him for long? Have you heard of him before?" Cheng Shi looked at Poison again and asked.

"He's probably a newcomer, a peak newcomer.

I suspected he was using a fake identity, but that group of 【Time】 people are mysterious, which doesn't look like Jiang Chi's style.

Players high on the list may not change much, but the rotation frequency after the teens or twenties is not low.

They just don't fit the will of the gods enough in their understanding of faith, but this doesn't mean these people aren't strong.

Just like you, little priest, what exactly is your ID on the Ladder of Seeing Gods?"

Cheng Shi glanced at Poison and ignored her, then fell into deep thought again.

A peak newcomer, yet dared to cooperate with Poison.

Sure enough, people who are tainted with the word "peak" are hard to measure with common sense.

In fact, Cheng Shi already had a set of plans, just wanting to be more cautious, so he kept asking questions. Of course, he also had simpler and cruder means, which was to let these three people test Jiang Chi's depth first.

After all, Cheng Shi's target had only ever been Jiang Chi alone. As for Da Yi...

He was prepared to face Da Yi himself.

The First Prince had already been swallowed by Gong Yangjiao. Although Gong Yangjiao didn't say it, this Scream Earl who liked to eat people probably wouldn't let go of a Rosna royal snack. So when Cheng Shi said "The First Prince is in the room" to Da Yi, he had already decided to talk to Da Yi face to face.

And he also believed that when Da Yi didn't see the First Prince's figure in that room, this shrewd assassin would definitely stay in the room, waiting for his arrival.

So after several considerations, Cheng Shi decided to act separately.

Poison and the three went to hunt Jiang Chi, while he went to "solve" Da Yi. In this way, if both paths went smoothly, then this trial wouldn't matter even if the so-called 【Scourge's Gift】 couldn't be found, because Cheng Shi had already become the biggest winner.

As for what he could win, it would depend on what he could get out of the communication with Da Yi.

Once the decision was made, the four people acted quickly after a brief exchange.

Gong Yangjiao clearly rejected working with Poison. He left the place first with a livid face, and the chameleon followed closely. Before Poison left, she looked at Cheng Shi again, seemingly wanting to say something.

But Cheng Shi's pace wasn't slow either. He soon followed the trail toward the First Prince's hiding place.

Seeing that Cheng Shi had no intention of paying attention to her, Poison frowned slightly, her gaze swept over the direction Gong left, and she followed with a strange look on her face.

On the other side, the First Prince's hiding place.

Indeed, as Cheng Shi expected, when Da Yi broke into this residential house anxiously but didn't find any figure, he realized that Cheng Shi had something to say to him.

But the problem was whether this "Cheng Shi" was really Cheng Shi or not.

Da Yi had many questions in his heart: who was the other party, what did the other party want to do, how strong was the other party... but besides having the person concerned answer these questions himself, it seemed very difficult to find other answers in the trial.

This 【War】 assassin sat on the sofa with a gloomy gaze, quietly waiting for these answers to arrive.

The cold wind whistled outside the window, but the figure left by him to keep watch in the wind and snow had long since disappeared.

The shrewd Da Yi had already realized that he couldn't continue to join forces with Jiang Chi, and even more realized that Cheng Shi's target was likely that pointer knight.

Since he could think of it, Jiang Chi couldn't not think of it, so at this time, this 【Time】 believer was probably already hiding his tracks to avoid being hunted.

And this "Cheng Shi"...

He was clearly a person who held grudges, but he seemed not to resist his position of adding fuel to the fire in that killing game.

Why?

It certainly couldn't be the friendship generated during that short meeting at the campfire camp...

Could his true identity have something to do with himself?

Da Yi tightened his brows, thinking and thinking, and actually came up with an extremely absurd idea:

"Cheng Shi" is also one of that lord's people? Or is he... that lord himself!?

Da Yi was startled by this idea of his own, but soon felt it was somewhat reasonable.

He began to recall every detail of meeting Cheng Shi, and the first scene was the moment Hu Wei brought Cheng Shi into their campfire camp.

That's right, it was old Hu who brought him there.

So, does old Hu know Cheng Shi's original identity?

If Cheng Shi is also one of that lord's people, old Hu couldn't not tell himself in advance. When he was preparing, he clearly treated everyone as an opponent, which meant Cheng Shi was not one of his own.

But there was another possibility in that situation at that time, which was that old Hu was acting!

He knew Cheng Shi was one of his own, but for some reason, he couldn't say it and needed to avoid suspicion, such as...

The other party's status was higher than old Hu's, and coming to meet them actually had another purpose, so old Hu didn't speak to himself.

Then thinking of the words Cheng Shi said after killing Gong Yangjiao: fragile mortal skin...

Da Yi's heart skipped a beat, and he said in horror: "Damn it, could it really be Him!?"

As soon as the words fell, Cheng Shi pushed the door and entered from the first floor, patted the snow on his body, looked at Da Yi who was full of astonishment sitting on the sofa, and smiled:

"It seems you've already guessed it?"

Yes, in the perception of an assassin, Cheng Shi appeared silently.

But this wasn't strange, because he had a 【Silent】 helper.

Before leaving, Cheng Shi had the chameleon apply a layer of 【Silent】 disguise to himself, so he could avoid the assassin's perception and quietly come to the front of this house.

He originally wanted to wait a while longer to hear what Da Yi would say. After all, this irritable brother had a verbal tic and always liked to curse, maybe he would mutter some key information again.

But he didn't expect that while waiting, he really waited for the most suitable sentence to appear.

So Cheng Shi decisively tore off the 【Silent】 disguise and pushed the door in.

He originally thought this would be a very smooth start, but unexpectedly, this 【War】 assassin was more cautious than anyone else. He wasn't frightened by Cheng Shi's silent appearance, nor did he hypnotize himself to believe Cheng Shi's identity, but restrained his expression and looked at Cheng Shi with a solemn gaze, secretly preparing an attack posture, and asked in a deep voice:

"Damn it, who exactly are you?"

Cheng Shi didn't answer but asked: "Didn't you guess it?"

Da Yi shook his head coldly: "I never believe in guesses, only in what I see with my own eyes and hear with my own ears."

"Oh? Is that so?" Cheng Shi walked in a few more steps lightly, "I remember you should have heard it, why are you so unconfident in yourself?"

"Damn it, playing god and ghost is useless here. Brother Cheng, I'll call you Brother Cheng one last time. You were brought by old Hu and saved old Hu's life, so I trust you very much. However, if you continue to hide your identity like this...

Then don't blame the iron thorn in my hand for not recognizing people."

Trust?

Cheng Shi glanced at the shiny iron thorn in Da Yi's hand and shook his head with a laugh.

"Fine, fine, fine. Since that's the case, I'll give you another hint."

As he spoke, Cheng Shi stood still, his smile meaningful.

"【Chaos】!

Remember it?"

【Chaos】!

Da Yi's pupils shrank in horror, and the moment he saw the other party's expression lose control, Cheng Shi knew he had won the bet.

This 【War】 assassin really couldn't get rid of the relationship with 【Chaos】! ===== CHAPTER 505 =====
