"Disappeared?"

Cheng Shi's heart skipped a beat when he heard this.

In this world, nothing disappears without a reason.

If Ji Ran was able to make himself disappear at the exact time, it would mean that he had always had a way to avoid being monitored by Feng!

That also means that he is very likely no longer in the hotel!

"Oh no! Watch out!"

Cheng Shi shouted, immediately pulled a Scalpel from his sleeve and held it in his hand, while simultaneously casting a healing spell on the three people who had not yet entered the room.

The instant he shouted, a streak of silver light reflecting the Blood Moon swept down from the church rooftop, crashing down on Li Boli.

The Wind Tamer Ranger showed no fear, instantly transforming into a whirlwind that swept upwards, colliding with the overwhelming silver light.

"Call--"

"Boom--"

The torrents surged, and the air exploded!

The raging wind swept Qin Chaoge and Cheng Shi away. Cheng Shi rolled into the grass, holding his breath and frowning.

The predator, lurking in the shadows, finally revealed its claws at this moment.

The two people in the air separated as soon as they touched, landing on either side of the church.

Ji Ran still looked the same as when they first met, with messy hair and a fluffy pajama, except that now he was carrying a giant sword on his shoulder, his eyes burning with fighting spirit, and his demeanor was no longer related to that of a hoodlum.

In contrast, Li Boli...

She was injured.

In just one encounter, the Today's Warrior has already demonstrated his bravery to the outside world.

Li Boli frowned and clutched her waist, her expression extremely grave.

"What a brilliant strategy of waiting in comfort! Looks like you rolled a good number today!"

"Huh?" Ji Ran tossed her hair and smiled dismissively. "This level of output can be achieved without Dice, but since you put it that way, I'll just roll one."

As he spoke, Ji Ran actually threw his Dice of Destiny between Li Boli and Cheng Shi right in front of them.

The Dice landed and rolled, and after a few laps, the die was face up.

Cheng Shi Shining glanced at it:

1 PM!

Damn, this is bad!

He immediately cast a Healing Art spell on Li Boli, but along with the healing holy light, an even faster silver light rushed towards Li Boli.

Ji Ran had already begun to gather his strength the moment the Dice left his hand, and the instant the dice were set, he suddenly pounced forward.

The greatsword in his hand drew a terrifying arc, descending from above and carrying the power to twist Destiny as it cleaved down towards the ranger's head.

Li Boli neither dodged nor evaded the oncoming sword light. Instead, she instantly drew a longbow made of bent clock hands, nocked the string, and aimed it at Ji Ran...

Somewhere behind me.

Yes, she wasn't aiming at Ji Ran, but at the spot where he had been standing!

"Call--"

"Whoosh—"

An arrow formed from the wind whistled out, grazed Ji Ran's cheek, and hurtled rapidly behind him.

The moment Ji Ran saw the arrow being shot, he abruptly stopped, sheathed his sword, swung the blade backward, and chased after it with all his might.

Just before the arrow struck that spot, it was barely knocked away.

At the same time, Li Boli transformed into a gust of wind and flew onto the roof, firing another arrow at the spot where Ji Ran been a few seconds earlier.

Ji Ran was exhausted from dealing with the situation, and his offensive strategy faltered.

Cheng Shi kept changing his position, secretly healing the Ranger while marveling at Li Boli's true skill.

This kite-flying technique was so skillful that it completely overwhelmed the soldiers.

However, this strategy also benefits from the Ranger's abnormal mobility and the unique talent that the Hunter gains from the [Time] ability.

Remember, the wind is never the Divine Authority of time; time is.

Although Wind Tamer Ranger can Change into the wind at will, their forte remains the bow and arrow.

The Arrow of Time Reversal, a blessing unique to the Wind Tamer Ranger, allows them to capture the shadows left by their opponents in the River of Time and pin their enemies to the past.

In other words, if Ji Ran to be hit by an arrow, he would not only be wounded by the arrow, but would also be overwhelmed by the sudden burst of pain accumulated over time, revealing his weaknesses.

Because the arrow didn't hit him now, but he was before!

Ji Ran clearly knew that continuing to fight like this would not bring him any advantage, and that the Ranger had a support and a healer by his side, so dragging it out would only put him at a disadvantage.

He immediately changed his strategy, removing a wind arrow and quickly swinging his greatsword like a hammer throw at the ranger, simultaneously using his feet to propel himself forward and charge towards...

Cheng Shi.

"?"

Seeing Ji Ran rushing towards him, Cheng Shi suddenly smiled.

He was just wondering how to demonstrate his worth when this warrior of Destiny came knocking on his door.

Perhaps his combat experience and intuition told him that Priest were generally easy targets.

But he forgot one thing, and that is:

Persimmons, too, can be hard!

And Cheng Shi, Bang Ying!

The Decay Priest can bring healing, but also Decay.

Cheng Shi smiled brightly. The moment Ji Ran moved, he moved at the same time, like a soldier charging into battle, rushing towards Ji Ran with his head down.

The Scalpel in his hand danced up and down like a butterfly, and in no time he had cut countless wounds on his own body. Blood splattered as he ran, and the [Decay] power gushing from the cracks was as thick as a silkworm cocoon, enveloping Cheng Shi crashed into his opponent.

His goal was clear: to trade injuries for injuries!

To be honest, Cheng Shi rarely uses this method of attack when he has trustworthy teammates who can carry the offensive load.

He prefers to stay in the background and be a simple nanny.

But today is different. The complex situation forces him to do something to increase his influence within the three-person team, thereby gaining greater appeal and say in future decisions.

And this moment of madness is the best leverage!

A Priest doesn't abandon his teammates and is willing to risk injury for injury will win everyone's trust in most situations.

At least for now, he has first won the trust of the Ranger.

Li Boli did not let Cheng Shi's attack fail.

She transformed into a whirlwind, dodging the giant sword's throw, and rushed towards the two men. The swirling air emptied the air between them, and the immense pressure forced the two charging figures closer together.

However, just as the Decay Divine Power was about to collide with Ji Ran!

He disappeared.

But the swirling Decay wind didn't miss its target; instead, it struck a Singer was about to burst into song!

Qin Chaoge was struck head-on by two forces, and the melody he was brewing in his throat was swallowed down along with blood before he could even sing it.

She was sent flying like a rag doll, while Ji Ran stood in the position in front of Qin Chaoge.

They were only one step away from that Void Gate.

The Believer of [Destiny] exchanged his Destiny with Qin Chaoge's.

"Tsk tsk, you guys are really ruthless to your own people. Goodbye, friends, wait for me to open the Destiny's Choice."

Ji Ran chuckled and plunged into the Void.

The three of them collided and fell to the ground.

Li Boli transformed back into human form from the wind, glanced at the two people beneath her, and then quickly followed after them, bow in hand.

At this point in the battle, there's no need for further explanation. If Ji Ran make the Destiny's Choice, while the three of them remained outside, their uncertainties about the options could very well lead Destiny down an unknown and perilous path.

Hu Xuan, who entered first, wouldn't shield Ji Ran from them, because in her eyes, there was perhaps only that [Eternal Day].

Therefore, someone has to go in, and it seems that the only person who can do that is a wandering knight.

Qin Chaoge was suddenly struck and covered in blood. The Bitter Wind tore through her flesh Decay her soul. Her whole body was covered with Decay scars, her flesh was withered, and her blood was rotten and black. She looked like she was on the verge of death.

Even so, this Believer in "war" gritted his teeth and refused to spit out a single drop of blood, as if spitting out blood would make him lose all face.

Seeing her like this, Cheng Shi laughed and scolded:

"You're all show and no substance, sis. You're pretty tough when you're hitting me, but you're so bad when you're hitting other people."

Qin Chaoge glared at him angrily, then couldn't hold back and vomited out a mouthful of gas.

Cheng Shi had no time to dodge and was sprayed directly, his head covered in black blood.

"..."

Damn it, what bad luck!

He stood up and reached out his hand to Qin Chaoge, intending to help her up, but Qin Chaoge shook her head and looked towards the Void Gate behind the church.

"Go... go after her, don't worry about me."

Cheng Shi blinked in surprise. "Are you sure?"

"Nonsense... I won't die. Conserve your Divine Power and go help the ranger. I'll be there soon."

Tsk, don't collapse right away.

Players in this tier generally have a clear understanding of themselves. Since Qin Chaoge said there was no problem, she must have a way to get back on her feet.

Perhaps because she had been Ji Ran, she didn't want Cheng Shi to waste his Divine Power on her.

Cheng Shi stared at her for a while, then nodded heavily.

"Good."

Having said that, he turned and followed into the Void, despite his injuries.
