Run! The Sighing Tide Is Here!

Facing the charging Hong Lin Big Cat, Cheng Shi's expression turned serious, and his gaze sharpened slightly.

His only consolation now is that he had taken extra precautions before entering the Trials, still wearing the Warrior Mask. Today's Warrior might not be too afraid to face the Druid who has turned into a beast.

The Path of Fate talent [Void's Reflection] will disable the effect of the switched Faith Talent when switching Faith. Cheng Shi has Experiment this, and if he switches from [Destiny] back to [Deception] while wearing the Mask, the Mask is as if it is automatically removed once.

Therefore, in order to continue exploiting the bug and using the honest exchange law of "putting on + taking off", Cheng Shi deliberated for a long time and decided to enter the Trials again as [Destiny].

In this way, he might have the opportunity to "wear" another Mask again when switching back to [Deception] and then back to [Destiny].

However, there is one point that must be mentioned.

Ever since [Destiny] Cheng Shi's [Deception] Divine Power, the object of [Destiny]'s prayers has changed...

From that Dice of Destiny, it inexplicably transformed into Mask that blended into my face.

Therefore, if Cheng Shi were to carry out the Edict of Passage now, he would have to touch his own face and shout the words to the vanished Mask:

"Life is as numerous as the stars, beyond our reach."

His other Lord of Grace, [Deception], had just warned him to stop reciting [Destiny]'s prayers to the Mask...

So, my two Lord of Grace, whose advice should I take?

Is it meaningful to insult each other in this way?

Why don't you two have a fight first?

Besides, don't you guys consider my feelings at all?

Or is turning me into a Clown part of your mutual lewd play?

Doesn't the Clown have any dignity?

Mask don't count!!!

I've figured it out. No matter how many Clown there are in this world, I'll probably always be one of the shining stars on stage!

As the lightning-fast figure drew closer, Cheng Shi turned solemn, and he silently murmured, his lips remaining perfectly still:

"Life..."

Before he could even utter the second word, the Big Cat Hong Lin, whizzed past him with a "whoosh," showing no intention of fighting him.

The ghostly figure stirred up a gust of wind, sending decaying leaves flying everywhere. Cheng Shi was stunned, and at the same time, the howling sound that tore through the wind seemed to echo endlessly in his ears.

"Run! The Sighing Tide is coming!"

"!!??"

Cheng Shi's pupils contracted sharply, and his expression instantly became even more serious than before.

It turns out the Big Cat turned back not to cause trouble, but because it encountered an outbreak of Sighing Tide ahead!

During the brief moment he was stunned, the mist carrying the terrifying power of Decay quietly rose in the distance, and in the blink of an eye, it swept towards his location like a hundred-foot city wall collapsing, blotting out the sky.

This speed doesn't seem to be much slower than the Big Cat from before.

"Grass!"

Cheng Shi panicked; it was the first time he had ever witnessed Sighing Tide.

He had assumed that the misty tide imbued with the power of Decay would be similar to the fog rising in the forest, slowly rising and gradually condensing, since that was indeed the case in many chat channels.

But he didn't expect that hearsay is just hearsay. You won't know why there are never any living people in the Sighing Forest until you see it for yourself!

Because the speed at which the mist surged was so fast, like a flash flood, it didn't give Cheng Shi much time at all!

Now there's no need to worry about who to blaspheme anymore. If this order isn't Edict of Passage now, there won't be another chance to blaspheme in the future.

So Cheng Shi turned and ran, praying as he ran:

"Life is as numerous as the stars, beyond our reach!"

While running, he casually tossed a Dice into his pocket.

As expected, the Dice of Destiny rolled a single point again. The instant his words fell, the Divine Power [Destiny] filled his entire body, and his speed suddenly increased.

However, the thick layer of decaying leaves in the forest was not as solid as the muddy ground, so Cheng Shi ran with uneven steps, and his speed was still much slower than that of the Sighing Tide.

With danger closing in from behind, Cheng Shi had no choice but to let go of his inhibitions and lose face, and started running on all fours, just like Qin Chaoge had done before.

You know what, four legs are indeed faster than two legs. At least with the blessing of Destiny, this was the closest Cheng Shi ever came to running like a swift arrow or a wild horse.

But this speed is still not enough.

The Sighing Tide surged forward like a torrent, growing faster and faster until they were almost touching Cheng Shi's back by about ten feet.

Cheng Shi gritted his teeth and ran wildly. Without even looking back, he could feel the power of [Decay] swirling around him. Even if he slowed down even a fraction of a step, he might be swallowed whole by this man-eating mist!

Oh no, we can't outrun them.

Seeing that there was no way to turn the tide, Cheng Shi's face darkened, and he took out a bottle of "Past Prosperity" from his personal space.

He planned to use the [Prosperity] potion from the potion to resist the erosion of [Decay] the moment he was swept up in the Sighing Tide, and then find a way to survive.

But just then, the Past Prosperity he had just grasped was swept away by a tremendous force and vanished without a trace.

Cheng Shi was shocked. He turned his head in disbelief and saw that the Big Cat Hong Lin, who had just disappeared, had returned to his side at some point. She was standing right next to him on the impact line of the Sighing Tide. Although she was walking at a fast pace, she looked as if she was strolling leisurely, without any effort.

The bottle of Past Prosperity that was swept away was hanging on her tail, shaking up and down as she ran.

!!

Cheng Shi seeing this, Cheng Shi's eyes widened in disbelief!

Hong Lin clearly still has energy left!

She was not afraid of the Sighing Tide at all; her hasty escape just now was actually a test of me!

This bastard is still testing me even when I'm on the verge of death!

Cheng Shi's expression Cheng Shi became quite interesting after realizing this. Hong Lin didn't Cheng Shi care what Cheng Shi was thinking; she just clicked her tongue and said:

"Tsk, it seems you really aren't Zhen Yi. But your speed doesn't seem like that of a Fate Weaver."

Who exactly are you?

To be honest, I can lend you a hand.

Cheng Shi rolled his eyes at the Big Cat but didn't answer. Instead, he frowned and asked in return:

"You haven't found any clues?"

"?" Hong Lin never expected that Cheng Shi would still care about the progress of the Trials at this critical Cheng Shi. She showed obvious surprise on her face, and then frowned and said "hmm".

Upon hearing the "hmm," Cheng Shi stopped fleeing without saying a word and stood still on the spot.

Suddenly losing her target, Hong Lin was startled. She took a few steps forward, turned around, and looked at Cheng Shi, who was already swallowed by the Sighing Tide, Cheng Shi surprise:

"Are you crazy!?"

Crazy?

Since there's no escaping it anyway, how can I not go crazy!

Cheng Shi smiled indifferently, letting the boundless power of Decay flow into his body and begin to corrupt his flesh.
