Cheng Shi, As Expected of My Brother!

Not only Hu Xuan, but Cheng Shi also suffered many burns amidst the flying flames.

Neither of them is an illusion.

So, who is Cheng Shi? And who is this woman?

Hu Wei frowned and his gaze sharpened as he looked at the two men. Then, remembering the glimmer of light he had seen in the cage, his expression became complicated.

Because he had already guessed the identity of this stunningly beautiful woman.

"Hu Xuan!"

Hu Xuan glanced at Hu Wei with Indifference expression, said nothing, and turned to run towards the other dead infant.

According to the script Cheng Shi wrote for her, her role was to help Cheng Shi save people, saving everyone except Zhen Yi and Yu Mu.

Apart from that, she doesn't need to pay attention to anyone, and she doesn't even have a single line of dialogue!

Seeing Hu Xuan walk away coldly, Hu Wei turned to look at Cheng Shi in front of him, but there was no gratitude in his eyes, only solemnity and suspicion.

It's not his fault; after all, in an environment with Zhen Yi around, no one dares to trust anyone else.

But Cheng Shi had prepared for too long. He had plenty of ways to make the other party believe him, but strangely, he did nothing. He didn't even offer an explanation. Instead, he just followed Hu Xuan with a livid face.

Upon seeing this, Hu Wei's expression froze, and after observing the surroundings for a moment, he decisively chose to follow.

But Cheng Shi ignored him and instead kept looking down at his feet while panting heavily. His furrowed brows didn't seem fake at all; it was as if something was really lurking around him.

After running for a short while, Cheng Shi's stamina clearly declined significantly, and even Hu Xuan, who was ahead of him, slowed down.

Cheng Shi Hu Xuan's steps began to falter, Cheng Shi didn't say a word, but gritted his teeth and cast another Mental Technique. Hu Xuan steadied herself, glanced back at him, nodded firmly, and continued running forward.

Only after seeing the Mental Technique take effect did Hu Wei's expression soften somewhat. At the same time, the wariness in his eyes lessened, and embarrassment appeared.

He felt he was in alright, but he didn't know how the two people in front of him had become like this. So he quickly took two steps, helped Cheng Shi, and said in a complicated tone:

"Cheng Shi, this is..."

A flash of anger crossed Cheng Shi's eyes. To be honest, being slashed on the head by the person you're rescuing while doing a rescue would make anyone angry. But Cheng Shi's performance was more nuanced. He not only portrayed the anger vividly, but also mixed it with a sense of helplessness and frustration.

That mix of emotions seemed to be telling Hu Wei: I know why you attacked me, and I know why you don't believe me, but I'm still angry because I'm a victim too!

They are the victims of that Master of Trickery and this crisis of "Birth"!

Hu Wei was a very good judge of character. His judgment never failed him as the Grand Marshal. Being good at judging character meant being good at observing other people's expressions. So he sensed Cheng Shi's anger and understood the complexity in Yu Guangzhong's eyes. As a result, his face became even more embarrassed. He realized that the person in front of him was not an illusion or a fake, but clearly Cheng Shi himself.

However, given the decisiveness of his strike and the coldness of Cheng Shi and Hu Xuan's attitudes, and without a clear understanding of the situation, he couldn't think of a suitable way to break the ice and ease this strange "team" relationship.

Just as Hu Wei was getting a little anxious, Cheng Shi "compromised".

Perhaps he still needed to rely on the Grand Marshal's strength, or perhaps he couldn't blame it all on Hu Wei, who was also a victim. Cheng Shi, panting heavily, explained to Hu Wei:

"Zhen Yi dragged us into Golis's lair. To escape, I whistled and summoned Hu Xuan..."

Golis discovered our escape and launched a frantic manhunt. We had no choice but to turn back... and find another way out!

Hu Xuan was seriously injured while blocking him. Run... or Golis, who was knocked back, will catch up!

Golis? The Lair? A Hunt?

In any other scenario, Hu Wei would probably have to go through this information three times in his mind, because it was missing too many crucial details. But in the moment, driven by Cheng Shi and Hu Xuan's actions and in the atmosphere of fleeing, he only frowned and roughly thought about it once, and he vaguely sorted out the whole story.

It seems that his little brother didn't want to save him at first, but only thought of coming back to save him because he couldn't escape.

Good, very good, he really is Cheng Shi!

After figuring out the situation, Hu Wei quickened his pace, even moving with lightning speed, and Cheng Shi, rushing forward.

It goes without saying how fast a Vanguard Warrior go. The Grand Marshal, carrying Cheng Shi in one hand, caught up with Hu Xuan in just a few steps, then carried her in his other hand, and frantically ran toward the next dead infant.

During his frantic run, he repeatedly looked down into the Void beneath his feet and indeed saw countless tentacle phantoms spreading upwards.

Hu Wei's gaze sharpened, but he still had the strength to ask in a deep voice:

What is Golis?

Ah?

Brother, you don't recognize him?

Cheng Shi was taken aback, and just as he was about to speak, Hu Xuan weakly said:

"My Lord's Emissary, the disciplinary whip of blasphemy, I unleashed the aura of [Birth] to intimidate Him, but it can only last for a while, He will soon come up."

Emissary!

No other words are needed; just hearing this one word is enough for Hu Wei to know that this game is absolutely going to be a life-or-death situation!

However, he also gleaned something else from Hu Xuan's words. For instance, this Believer, who claimed to be the Eternal Day of [Birth], actually possessed the strength to Emissary!

Although she was covered in blood and seriously injured, the Emissary head-on and escape unscathed was enough to prove everything.

She's an expert.

He was also seriously injured!

Furthermore, she most likely also killed one of her brothers.

Thinking of this, Hu Wei's gaze sharpened!

But after a long time, he didn't make any move; instead, he quickened his pace.

He never thought about revenge. Yes, Hu Wei never thought about revenge!

That last stab was just a test before he recognized Hu Xuan, not an act of revenge for his brother.

In the Grand Marshal's mind, if someone learns about his true nature through those around him, his first reaction will not be to kill them to silence them, but rather to assess whether this person who knows the truth is qualified to become one of his own!

The marshal was never afraid of betrayal or death when leading troops; what he feared was having no soldiers under his command!

Now, he clearly feels that Hu Xuan is qualified to be one of his own.

Therefore, what he needs to do is protect Hu Xuan, not take advantage of her vulnerability to kill Hu Xuan.

But he also had doubts in his heart, because the whistle was clearly right next to his ear just now, so why was the distance between them now so long?

However, he did not voice his doubts, because he guessed that it was very likely that Golis, who had been repelled by Hu Xuan for a moment, was behind this.

He is probably preventing the players from escaping.

"..."

Cheng Shi was naturally unaware of the depth of his older brother's thoughts. He only knew that Hu Xuan's impromptu performance just now was truly excellent. It seemed that she had gained some understanding of the Grand Marshal through the fisherman's death, which was why she moved Hu Wei with such a sentence.

You can tell from Hu Wei's acceleration that he is now truly running at full speed.

The three of them soon arrived at the second cage, and at that moment the shadow in the Void beneath their feet was getting closer and closer.

Upon seeing the curled-up shell of the dead infant, Hu Wei slashed at it with his sword. Unfortunately, with the true power of Golis enhancing it, his strike didn't even leave a white mark.

"..." Hu Wei's expression froze, and he looked at Cheng Shi.

Cheng Shi was overjoyed but dared not hesitate for a moment. With a pale face, he staggered forward and tore open the dead infant's skin with his bare hands.

The players inside sensed the return of their consciousness; before they even came out, their voices were already audible.

"Here..."

Before he could finish speaking, Hu Wei reached in and pulled the trapped Mo Li out, while covering his mouth that had just opened!
