Old Bow Was Old...

"Ahem, with the Grand Marshal charging ahead, there's probably no place for me, Acrobat, in the team. The next circus show is about to start, so I need to prepare in advance. I'll be leaving now."

As he spoke, Long Jing cupped his hands in greeting to the crowd, then turned back and spat out "Zhen Yi" in Yin-Yang tone. Just like when he made his entrance, he put on a Mask and vanished instantly.

Seeing that someone had left, Cheng Shi's face darkened, and he said:

"Brother Hu, I'm cooking in the Rest Area and can't leave it unattended, so... maybe next time?"

Hearing Cheng Shi's curt refusal, Hu Wei's trust in his identity grew even stronger. He patted Cheng Shi on the shoulder again and laughed heartily.

"Hahaha, what's the panic? I won't betray my brother. This is really good stuff, but it's a secret, so I can't tell you right now."

But don't worry, bro, if you manage to get your hands on it, I guarantee you'll thank me.

As you can see, my team is indeed lacking a Priest.

"..."

Since things had come to this point, "Cheng Shi" naturally couldn't refuse, so he could only stand there with a forced smile and remain silent.

Mo Li stepped forward and joined the group. Chen Shu wanted to keep up with the main force, but after only two steps, the Grand Marshal threw a sword at his foot as a warning:

"I am indeed missing one person in my team, but it's not you."

You and Zhen Yi haven't seen each other in a long time, why don't you go and have a good chat? As for the remaining seat...

"Ha, after listening for so long, do you want to go or not?"

As everyone followed Hu Wei's gaze toward the distant stands, they saw a player who had been wearing a hood slowly raise his head to meet Hu Wei's gaze, remove his hood, and reveal a weathered face with aged skin and wrinkles.

Cheng Shi had long anticipated that not everyone present would be mediocre, but he hadn't expected that, given the explosive information gathered, there would still be people who could suppress their curiosity and remain hidden in the crowd, refraining from participating in the discussion.

Isn't he afraid that the Peak Player in the arena will actually shut everyone down?

However, players who can be invited by Hu Wei are likely to have their own methods, and this "old man" is likely one of the Peak Player of [Decay].

So, who is he?

This doubt didn't last long, as the quick-witted Chen Shu immediately revealed the other party's identity.

"Hey, Old Yu's here too. He's not dead yet?"

The old man, called "Old Yu," chuckled and retorted in a hoarse voice:

"I won't die until you get killed by someone else."

Today, my mood has been like a rollercoaster. I thought my Lord of Grace was gone, but I didn't expect that it was actually my rival who was gone. Good, good.

Prosperity has fallen; how far is the world from Decay?

Since the Grand Marshal thinks highly of this old man, then this old man naturally can't be one of those ungrateful people. Go on, these old arms and legs of mine need some exercise."

As he spoke, the veteran player in black stood up with a cheerful smile and swayed as he walked off the field.

Cheng Shi seeing this, Cheng Shi's gaze narrowed slightly, thinking that this person must be Yu Mu, the second-ranked member of the "Decay" group.

He only knew that this person's ID was the same as his name, but he didn't know that he was actually so old. Moreover, this aging did not seem to be due to the influence of [Decay], but rather that Yu Mu seemed to have always been an old man.

As Yu Mu walked down, his gaze swept over "Zhen Yi." He chuckled and said as he walked:

"The girl surnamed Zhen is here too, what a coincidence. Why didn't you mention making me a walking stick today?"

Cheng Shi was taken aback, not expecting Zhen Yi to even tease someone as mature as him. Helpless, he could only laugh and reply:

Hehe~

I think you old codger don't have many days left to live. I might as well collect your bones after you die and make two pairs of walking sticks to benefit others. What do you think? Isn't that a brilliant idea?"

As soon as he finished speaking, someone in the audience applauded and echoed:

"Wonderful!"

I'll reserve one pair first!

Everyone looked over at the sound and saw that it was none other than Chen Shu.

"..."

"..."

"..."

Yu Mu's face darkened, and his smile froze on his face. But then he stopped, stretched out his withered hands, and said with a forced smile:

"Grand Marshal, since we've run into each other, why don't we try a different game?"

Before you go to get something, stretch your hands and feet.

"Both of these are unlucky things. Should we remove one today to purify the game environment?"

After speaking, Yu Mu, like an old general going into battle, suddenly drew his bow and aimed a Withered Vine Thorn Arrow at Chen Shu at his feet.

Then, with a loud "whoosh," a fierce gust of wind, barely perceptible to the naked eye, swept towards Chen Shu.

Cheng Shi's gaze sharpened, thinking that new trouble was on its way. But to his surprise, the next second Chen Shu calmly reached out and caught the wooden arrow in the wind with one hand. Then, with a flick of his wrist, he propped the thin wooden branch on the ground and clicked his tongue.

"It's a bit too thin and too short. It doesn't feel as good as Old Yu's bones as a walking stick."

"Zhen Yi, when are you going to finish making this cane? I'm really looking forward to it."

Zhen Yi smiled brightly:

"Are you in a hurry?"

"If you're in such a hurry, why don't you take out your bones and make me a cane? It's good that you can't walk without bones, and having a cane will make things easier."

"..."

This sentence completely ruined the Chen Shu.

No, you're insulting the only person on the field who's willing to stand with you. Aren't you afraid of getting ganged up on?

Chen Shu pursed his lips.

Seeing that Zhen Yi was unwilling to side with him, and with Yu Mu urging Hu Wei to fight him, he carefully considered his options and decided that leaving was the best course of action. So he casually tossed something to Cheng Shi and remarked with a sigh:

"Only my brother-in-law doesn't mind me anymore. Brother-in-law, this is a communication tool, let's keep in touch."

Cheng Shi didn't dare to reply, but Hu Wei caught the flying object for Cheng Shi.

But when he got the item, he realized it was a perfectly packaged piece of chewing gum!

The Grand Marshal's face darkened, and he was about to lash out when a loud "boom" was heard, and the entire venue shook.

Everyone's expression changed upon hearing the sound. They looked in the direction of the sound and discovered that the Void beneath the venue had been blasted open, revealing a passage hidden beneath the seating area.

Cheng Shi's pupils contracted as he realized that the location was exactly where he had come from when he the First Chen Shu his position.

It turns out that the piece of chewing gum he stuck on the wall was actually a small Explosives.

This "silent" Chosen of God is surprisingly steady.

At the same time, while everyone was still in shock, Chen Shu leaped high to the entrance of the blasted-open passage in the ruins, pretending to be completely unaware, and shouted with his hands on his hips:

"Who is this person? Hiding Explosives in chewing gum! How rude!"

"..."

After saying that, he ignored everyone else's gaze and looked excitedly in Hu Wei's direction.

Everyone's face darkened upon hearing this. Hu Wei, even more annoyed, quickly threw the chewing gum back to Chen Shu. However, Chen Shu not only did not dodge it, but instead greeted it with a joyful expression.

Hu Wei's gaze sharpened, realizing he had been tricked. He raised his greatsword to try and cut off Chen Shu's movements, but Yu Mu, who was standing nearby, was faster than the Grand Marshal. He opened his sleeves and fired a volley. The vine arrow accurately hit the piece of chewing gum the size of a fingertip, and then, under an invisible pull, it quickly retreated back into Hu Wei's hand.

Chen Shu Shugao reached out but failed to grab it. His brows furrowed and his gaze sharpened. He then immediately turned and ran wildly toward Yu Mu.

Upon seeing this, Yu Mu retracted the arrow even faster, and not only that, he even had the strength to draw his bow again.

This time, however, there were no arrows on the bow. But when Chen Shu saw this, his expression changed slightly, and he withdrew without hesitation.

But in that very instant as he pulled away and retreated, the hem of his fluttering robe slowed down by a fraction, and was thus enveloped by an invisible force. In the process of his rapid retreat, it aged Decay, crumbling into dust.

Chen Shu curled his lip and said Yin-Yang:

"What a clever 'Sudden Twilight' move! Looks like I need to change how I address you. I won't call Old Yu anymore; I should call Old Bow now!"

"Hmm, not bad. The Old Bow be old, but it still has considerable power when hitting the target!"

"..."

"..."
