Chapter 963: Unexpected events emerge one after another

Unexpected events emerge one after another.

There are 9 days left, but the trial has not ended.

Cheng Shi and Sun Miao had long determined that the target of the trial was Ke Yinlao'er, that is, the War King Delwo. So the remaining time was actually waiting for the other party to achieve his heart's desire, clear the battle line, and announce the founding of the War Nation on this scorched earth and pile of corpses.

But the war was not so easy to end. Fortunately, Delwo's preparations were unusually sufficient. Even without the help of the players, he could still succeed, so the two of them were not prepared to get involved anymore.

Now the only thought in their hearts was to wait for Xiao Qi, who had "learned something," to chase them down and hunt them.

After not waiting for the other party at the first opportunity, Cheng Shi had followed Sun Miao away from the battle line and wandered around the periphery of the battlefield for a long time.

Sun Miao always believed that without desire and emotion, the Tamer would definitely hide himself until the end of the trial. But Cheng Shi firmly believed that Xiao Qi would definitely come to find him. So Sun Miao, who compromised again, could only find something to do for himself, because the Fate Weaver beside him had already started to empty himself out of boredom.

"Aren't you making any preparations for the arrival of the hunter?"

"Underestimating the enemy has never been a good strategy."

Every time he heard the wise man's reminder, Cheng Shi nodded perfunctorily, but still did nothing.

Seeing the Fate Weaver so lazy, Sun Miao frowned and could only think that the other party had long thought of a foolproof plan. But what made him suspicious was, even if Cheng Shi had 100% confidence in defeating Du Qiyu, how could he guarantee that the other party wouldn't leave any backup plans for resurrection outside?

Sun Miao asked his doubts again, and Cheng Shi's answer was also thought-provoking.

"Wise man, this is what you told me. When a person loses the motivation to live, he naturally won't live on."

"So, the one who kills Xiao Qi won't be me, but himself."

"?"

This Fate Weaver actually wanted a person with such strong desires and emotions to commit suicide?

How is that possible?

Especially after the other party got the Fear Tree Core and lost desire and fear, how could he, with his shrewdness returned, make such an unwise move?

This time, even the believer in 【Foolishness】 couldn't analyze it. He looked at Cheng Shi thoughtfully, always feeling that this Fate Weaver hid the most attractive secrets in this universe.

But he couldn't dig out these secrets for a while, so he could only settle for the next best thing and first pluck the secrets he could pluck in the trial, for example... that 【Decay】 breath that suddenly appeared on the side of the dense forest county of Boluo Highland.

When Sun Miao said he wanted to explore that rich 【Decay】 breath, Cheng Shi actually wanted to refuse, because his intuition told him that there seemed to be danger there.

But he still needed the wise man to be a backup when dealing with Xiao Qi, so after weighing it a hundred times, he decided to go with Sun Miao, but he had to stay far away and not walk with the other party.

Sun Miao had no objection to this arrangement, so the two soon changed their destination and set off toward the back of the battlefield.

They were not worried at all that Xiao Qi wouldn't be able to catch up. After all, for a hunter, tracking and searching were home skills. The only thing Cheng Shi was worried about now was that the timing of Xiao Qi catching up shouldn't collide with the wise man's exploration. Otherwise, when facing unknown risks, he really didn't know if his envisioned plan could still proceed smoothly.

Fortunately, fate favored Cheng Shi again. When they arrived at that area according to the guidance of the "Rot-Eating Vine," there was no risk around, and Xiao Qi didn't come to touch porcelain.

They only found some residual 【Time】 power in a dense forest, as well as a large area of withered trees. This was clearly something that had been here, but this thing that had been here, except for a ground of decay, left no other traces.

Sun Miao was very interested in this. He observed and groped in the river valley dense forest alone, while Cheng Shi stood on a hill on the outer periphery to keep watch for him.

This time Cheng Shi didn't slack off, after all, it was related to his own safety, so he was very alert.

But what he didn't expect was that even if he did everything to see six roads and hear eight directions, someone still stood behind him under his nose.

Cheng Shi didn't even discover the other party at first, until he habitually glanced at his own shadow, only to find that the shadow, which should have been exactly the same as himself, had somehow grown a circle fatter!

At this, Cheng Shi's cold sweat broke out instantly, but he didn't panic, instead swinging his hand to throw a thunderbolt at the first opportunity, and using his other hand to pinch and explode a smoke bomb.

"Bang—"

The strange sound startled Sun Miao, who was investigating clues in the dense forest. Seeing a cloud of smoke explode where Cheng Shi was, his heart skipped a beat and he turned around, wanting to help. But just as he wanted to use the shadows to shuttle directly to Cheng Shi's side, the 【Decay】 trees, which had been dead silent just now, suddenly came to life. The rotten trees exploded one by one, and the sky full of decaying dust was like a cage, trapping Sun Miao firmly in place.

"Not good!" Sun Miao directly took out a prop and started holding his breath, and at the first opportunity set about deconstructing the flaws of this cage.

But as he deconstructed, he found that although this cage indeed had flaws, the 【Decay】 power contained in it was simply not something players could contend with.

In other words, the person who trapped him and ambushed Cheng Shi had strength far stronger than Lin Xi, and the two sides were not even on the same level.

You know, Lin Xi was already number one on the 【Decay】 list, so the only one who could exceed the other party seemed to be...

"Messenger!?"

Sun Miao's pupils shrank, and he exclaimed in horror.

However, the cage of decaying dust not only trapped his person but also locked his voice. This exclamation of discovering the other party's identity was not heard by Cheng Shi. Cheng Shi, who was hiding in the smoke and temporarily escaped, only heard another hoarse voice coming from the dust:

"Don't make a move, I have no malice."

As soon as the words fell, Cheng Shi saw the appearance of this ambusher hiding in the fog.

He was sure he had never seen this person, but unexpectedly felt that the other party looked very familiar. Although he didn't remember where this familiarity came from for a while, at least this meant that the other party's identity would never be too high. After all, no matter what, Cheng Shi would never forget what true gods and messengers looked like.

But... would he really not forget?

This thought hadn't been stable for a second before Cheng Shi slapped his own face, because he suddenly recalled where he had seen this face. That was...

On a hanging painting on the wall of a bedroom in the empty Rosina Imperial Court, and what was painted on it was exactly the Rosina Emperor who abandoned the whole city and fled in a panic with nobles and ministers at that time!

Of course, Cheng Shi later learned this person's name from Afu Luosi's mouth.

Yuge, an escape expert who was promoted to a messenger by 【Decay】 in the previous era.

Thinking of this, Cheng Shi was shocked.

"!!!"

He is Yuge!? ===== CHAPTER 964 =====
